PUT THE "SOLDIERS' SPIRIT"
INTO THE LOAN.
There are 2,262,000 people, of all
ages, in North Carolina who did rot
buy a bond of the second or third Lib
erty loan. How many are there in
Robeson county? Over fifty thou
sand, we should say.
What can these people who are able
to buy say for themselves? How can
they expect to look a returned soldier
boy i nthe eye? What will be their
relation to those who have done their
part when after the war, an honor
roll is shown of deeds done during the
war?
In a cable to the governor of the
New York Reserve bank General
Pershing said: "The fourth Liberty
loan will be a magnificent success if
your fellow citizens put into the su'o-
There Is more Catarrh in this section
of the country than all other diseases
put together, and for years it was sup
posed to be Incurable. Doctors pre
scribed local, remedies, and by constant
ly failing to cure with local treatment,
pronounced it incurable. Catarrh is a
local disease, greatly influenced by con
stitutional conditions and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J
Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio. Is a consti
tutional remedy, is taken Internally
and acts thru the Blood on the Mucous

Dollars reward is offered for any case
that Hall's Catarrh Cure fails to cure.

all the Liberty bonds and War Savings
stamps you can, isn't it time you came
to yourself? Can any citizen be sat

which the swine do eat?
Can the people fail to put the "sol
diers' spirit" into the loan?
Wake up, ye who have failed to
hear your country's call, before it
is too late and the days draw nigh
when you will say that it were better
for you had you been drowned in the
midst of the sea, or hanged by the
neck till dead, rather than to fall upon
the evil days when the returned sol
diers ask what you did to furnish
them with shot and shell and food and
to save the lives of their fallen com
rades, when they were fighting for
you, and the record shows that, you
hugged your dollars close and refused

rate of interest to save the lives of!

"THE TIME IS CRITICAL."
This is not the time to let up on
buying Liberty bonds. Until the close
of the campaign for the fourth Lib
erty loan there should be such an out
pouring of the wealth of the people
of this country as the world never
saw before in a like period. Over
subscription of the six billion dollar
Liberty loan is declared by the Pres
ident to be a matter of world im
portance at this critical time. The
statement of President Wilson, issued
Thursday night, follows:
"Recent events have enhanced, not!
lessened, the importance of this loan
and I hope that my fellow-countrymen
will let me say this to them very
frankly. The best thing that could
happen would be that the loan should
not only be subscribed, but very great
ly oversubscribed. ' We are in the
midst of the greatest exercise of the
power of this country that has ever
been witnessed or forecast, and a sin
gle day of relaxation in that effort
would be of tragical damage alike to
ourselves and to the rest of the world.
Nothing has happened which makes it
safe or possible to do anything but
push our effort to the utmost. The
.time is critical and the response must
be complete.

ST. PAULS WAR
SAVINGS LIMIT CLUB
"By their fruits ye shall know
them." Unrepentant, savage, barba
rous, fiendish still, the Huns are leav
ing their well-known mark wherever
they can, torpedoing ships, drowning
women and children, burning towns,
doing everywhere such bitter deeds
as hell itself quakes to look upon.
These acts do not indicate a foe who
expects present defeat and reckoning
for his crimes. When the started
out in their career of revolting crimes
they were drunk with sight of power.
Maybe now they are mad with the
madness of those whom the gods
would destroy.
13 Members of War Savings Limit
Club at St. Pauls There Are Many
in the County Who Can Join the
Limit Clab.
I take pleasure in making public the
names of those who have subscribed
to the limit in the War Savings cam
paign at St. Pauls. They are as
follows: John S. Butler, J. A. John
son, W. D. Johnson, A. C. Rozier, J.
M. Butler, G. T .Fisher, St. Pauls
Cotton Mill, Cape Fear Cotton Mill,
J. T. Odum, L. A. McGeachy, A. R.
McEachern, Mrs, A. E. McEnchern,
Duncan McEachern.
This is a fine showing. Let no man
dare say that St. Pauls is anything
but patriotic to the limit. I have
not heard from other sections. I am
anxious to get the reports in so that
the information may be tfiven to the
public. - Let all those who xcan, sub
scribe to the limit. There are hun
dreds in this County who can subscribe
to the limit. There will come a time
when regrets at not having subscrib
ed to the limit will not suffice. Let
every citizen perform his duty now.

Hard to Realize Swift Strides Al
lies Are Making.
(From Associated Press Summary,
Oct. 11.)
So lightning-like are the maneuvers
of the Allied armies on the various
battlefronts from the North sea to
Verdun, in Macedonia and in Palestine
-that except, to the war exdert and
his military maps oonstantly" before
him it is almost impossible to visual
ize the situation and realize the swift
strides the Allies are making in de
feating the common enemy. In
France and Belgium in three weeks
five important cities which had been
in German hands for four years have
been recaptured. Dixmude, Arnien
tieres, Lens Cambrai and St. Quentin
are now in allied hands, while Lille,
Douai and Vajenciennes seemingly are
all but captured.
Serbia shortly is to be fully reclaim
ed, and the Turks soon will know the
Holy Land no more.
