THE sInTORD EXPRESS aSsr^cL11||PuBL™ FRIDAY • • October 26, 1917 THIS IS OUB FIOHT. We do not know bow it U in Other States, but in this State, end especially in this immediate Motion, there are many loyal, patriotic people who have not yet come to a toll realization that this is onr war. They have not been impressed with the real sitnation. They are prone to look upon the war preparations as more or less of a demonstra tion to bluff the Germans and to encourage England and France. With the battle line on the other side of the Atlantic ocean, they are disposed to doubt that our troops will ever get into the thick of it. Many of them ex pect the war to end before next summer. Some, of them go so far as to say that it isn’t Ameri • oa’s fight Others, while admit ting that we should help make the world safe for democracy, argue that the task of conquer ing Germany is really up to Great Britain and France, whose existence is threatened. There are patriotic people who harbor this kind of sentiment. The trouble with them is, they have not reached an appreciation of the real dangers that threat en this country. Harry Lauder, the famous Scotch comedian, who is in this country to help make the American people re alize the truth abont the war, said in a speech a few nights ago in New York City that we would not know what this war really \ means until the first hospital ships come back laden with our ■ soldiers who will never hear or see again. Then, he says, we will realize what America is up against. Lauder knows what war means, for his only son fills a sol uiors grave iu r lanuers, inju ( think yon are coming to fight for Britain, for Prance, for Belgi um," he cried. “You are coming to fight for yourselves.” These are truths that need to be impressed upon many people who have not thought much about what the triumph of Prus sianism might mean to us. As Lauder says,, we are going to fight for ourselves, not simply to lend a helping hand to the allied nations. If Germany should breajMdiMjjud^the line which ' and the 800ten *rtf nilding on the west ern front, as she has been on the point of doing several times, she would stand a good chance to get control of Great Britian's navy, and the war would be brought to the western hemis phere. - Yes, indeed, this is our fight, and-it may prove to be a long one. Who knows? In the neigh borhood of 1,000,000 Americans are now in training for the great task ahead. These young men will be drilled into effectiveness. All of the tactics of modern war will be taught them by trained soldiers. They will be prepared for a war of grim business and not sentiment, of deeds and not talk. The quicker we all rea alize that we are in this great, world-wide war the nearer we will be to victory and the easier will be the task ahead for our armies. The Beet Investment. Few are the men in Lee coant; who can honestly say, “I cannot afford to bay at least one (50.00 Liberty Bond.” Every wage earner, every salaried man, eve ry Jsusiness man, every one who can earn no matter how little, can afford to loan Uncle Sam a part of his earnings at 4 per cent interest. The vast sum needed to bring ns the victory we all long for must come through individual subscriptions of the wokers on the farm, in the store, factory and shop as well as from the manufacturer and business man. From every home in Lee county should come forth a swelling chorus—I’ll buy a Liberty Bond. For the sake of the soldier in oamp and the sailor on the high - saarfer your own sake,-your family’s sake, your country's sake, civilisation’s sake, save a little from your earnings every week and buy a Liberty Bond. Buying a Liberty Bond is tbe true essence of patriotism—end patriotism calls to us- to forget ouatoms. luxuries, personal in terest until we win this war—and it we don't win it, you'll have to pty more than the price of one Liberty Bond, Buy one' today—the quicker tbe better. It is the beet lnvest mont you can make. ‘ Quit* « number of North Car line reserve militia companies ha< been duly reported as organised do tug the pest few days. A PAT OF SPECIAL PRAYEB President Wilson baa issued a proclamation appointing next Bands;, October 28, a da; of pra;er for the success of the American arms in the war, in accordance with the recent reso lution of Congress. The Presi dent’s proclamation follows: r ‘‘Whereas, The Congressof the United States, by a concurrent resolution adopted on the 4th day of the present month of Oc tober, in view of the entrance of our nation into the vast and awful war which now afflicts the greater part of the world, has requested me to set apart by of ficial proclamation a day upon which our people should be call ed upon to offer concerted prayer to Almighty God for His divine aid in the successes of our arms; and whereas, it behooves a great, free people, nurtured as we have been in the eternal principles of justice and of right, a nation which has sought from the ear liest days of its existence to be obedient to the divine teachings which have inspired it in the ex ercises of its liberties, to turn always to the Supreme Master and cast themselves in faith at His feet, praying for His aid and succor iu every hour of trial, to the end that the great aims to which our fathers dedicated our power as a people may not per ish among men, but be always asserted and defended with fresh ardor and devotion and, through the divine blessing, set at last upon enduring foundations,. for the benefit of all the free peoples of the earth; “Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, gladly responding to the wish expressed by the Congress, do appoint October 28, being the last Sunday of the present month, as a day Of supplication and prayer for all the people of the nation, honestly exhorting all my countrymen to observe the appointed day, according to their several faiths, in solemn prayer that God’s blessings may rest upon high the task which is laid upon us, to the end that the cause for which we give our lives and treasure may triumph and our efforts be blessed with high achievement,” Friends of Germany. Speaking for the Liberty bonds, Secretary McAdoo says: “If the thousands of patriotic citizens of this country want to win this war, now is the time for them to show it. If they don’t subscribe for this loan and lend I their money to the government, they are helping the enemy. “Every person who refuses to subscribe or who takes the atti tude of 'let the other fellow do it,’ is a friend of Germany, and 1 would like nothing better than to tell it to him to his face. “A man who says he can’t af ford the $50 tor a bond speaks untruly. The bond can be bought at the rate of $5 a month for a $50 bond and $10 a month for a $100 bond. A man who can’t lend his government $1.25 a week at the rate of 4 per cent, interest is not entitled to be a citizen.” Why Sanford Should be a Good Tobacco Market. To the Publishers of The Express: I noticed in your paper some two weeks ago what a Pitt county farmer bad made ou tobacco on Lee county sofl. If yon will allow me the space I will be glad to show you why Sanford should be the best tobacco market in central Carolina. It has been admitted that Lee has the soil to make moet any kind of a crop, but it has so many acres of undeveloped land doing no one any good. Sanford should have almost as good farm back ing as Farmville, in Pitt county, but Sanford has not for this reason—we have twenty acres under cultivation backing our town where you have one or two, and the other eighteen in woods. This should and could be changed. If a combined effort was made in Lee county to increase the acreage under cultivation at least fifty per cent, and put it in tobacco and make Sanford the market, your merchants and banks could hardly handle the increase in business. As most of the readers of. The Express know, I lived in Lee coun ty most of my life and should know and do know the condition, and what the people could do in the agricultural line. Sanford has all the advantages to be come a city, and no doubt would if these conditions were remedied. I will give you some figures as to what our merchants and banks, derive from our tobacco market. I am a salesman in one of the largest general stores in Farmville and know the amount of cash taken In each day. The stores are taxed to their capacity every day with trade and we have some of the best stores in eastern Carolina in this town. The tobacco sales open each day at 0 o'clock and at the banks from 9.30 until closing hour you can see a steady stream of men waiting their turn to get sale checks cashed. These are put in on deposit._ The market opened here on August 15th and up to October 1st there had bean sold on this market about 6,000,000 pounds of leaf tobacco at an average of a little over 28 cents per pound, paying out from the different warehouses In oath in this town *1,680,000. The larg est part Qi this money was spent here and left in the banks. This tobacco market has drawn to this place this year two large tobacco drying plants that have a large weekly pay roll. Now I contend that Sanford should have as good a tobacco market as this town has, and with the superior advant age if other lines should be a city of several thousand people In a few years. Now let the good people of Lee county git. morn at their land ant of the wood* and they can have In Sanford one of the greatest markets in North Carolina. Very truly, O. C. LUm. I Furmvlile, Out. 16. I COUNTS' OFFICERS. . . ,8 ' r Handling Counts Affairs la Usu ally UnbuslDoaa Like—Every County Should Have an Audi tor and Office ot Treasurer Should be Abolished. Correspondence ot The Express. Chapel Hill, N. C., Oct 22.— Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson, of Winston - Salem, spoke to, the North Carolina Club on Monday night on "County Offices—Local Duties and Court House Cus toms.’’ Little attention was given to the latter part of the subject because, he said, there are as many court house customs as there are different men holding county offices—say 8,000 all told. The Constitution of North Caro lina provides for the election of the following officers in every county: Clerk of the superior court, sheriff, coroner, treasurer, register of deeds, surveyor, and five commissioners. But it also allows the General Assembly to modify, change, or abrogate any or all of the provisions concern ing county officers and substitute others in their place. In addition to those constitu tional county officers, others have been created by public, or public local statutes. As a result county officers average 30 to the county in North Carolina. At least 10 counties have county courts with a judge, a clerk, and usually a solicitor. At least sis counties have highway commissions. Practically all have county phy sicians and superintendents of schools and county homes. Thir teen have whole-time health offi cers. Some have county attor neys to advise all officers. Ninety live have a farm demonstration agent. Forsyth alone has a Pub lic Welfare Officer, under the new law. The county auditor is an officer rapidly growing into favor. Al ready 11 counties have auditors, and every county should have such an officer. The office of treasurer should be abolished in every county with a reputable bank. Three coun ties have no banks. The office has already been abolished in some 50 counties. The duties of the clerk of the superior court, sheriff, and regis ter of deeds are multifarious. Their time is largely consumed in accommodating the public 1 without charge. To get at their Fees accurately is impossible, be Sause much of their work is gra- ' iuitous to their party supporters. Some officers have been so gen erous to their constituent as actually to fall into debt in office. Handling county affairs in most counties is the product of an tiquity and is usually unbusiness like in the extreme. The new officer usually employs l he former incumbent or his assistant to pilot him along until he learns the ropes. County officers are not often expert book-keepers, and this is why I so strongly advo cate a county Auditor In every county. He protects the officials even more than the public. It is rare that an officer who comes out short in his accounts has wil fully misappropriated one cent of the funds. In conclusion Judge Stephen son made the following sugges tions: 1. The abolishment of the office of county treasurer in every boun ty with a reputable bank. 2. Creation of the office of aud itor in every county, with the annual auditing of the books of every officer and the publishing of those reports in simple lan guage. Groups of counties could combine in employing an auditor. 3. Placing county officers on a salary basis solely; and, as natur ally follows, the annual account ing by the officer to the county for all fees, commissions, and compensations of every sort re ceived by him in virtue of his office. The surveyor and coroner might be left on the fee basis. Picking Cotton by Machinery. The Charleston News and Conner, adverting to Mr. Theo dore Price’s cotton picking enter prise, says arrangements are under way in Atlanta for mann f actnring a machine recently test ed out in Georgia and pronounc ed a complete success as a me chanical picker, but its capacity is limited to 400 pounds a day on an average. While at Laurin burg the Price machine picked 6,000 pounds a day. The News and Courier says the Georgia machine is light in weight, is in expensive and can be carried by hand througn the fields without injury to the plants. The ma chine that Mr. Price is testing out this season in North Carolina is (of a lighter model than the machine he operated at Laurin burg and cheaper in cost. We agree with the News and Courier in its estimation of the value of the picker to the Southern cotton industry. The development of the practical picker will witness the dawn of a new era in the South, It will bring about revo lutionary changes in Southern agriculture. Having entertained that opinion for many years The Observer has watched with con siderable solicitude the develop ing experiments of Price and other inventors.—Charlotte Ob server. The query to be discussed this year by secondary schools having membership in the High School De bating Unioo of North Carolina is; “Resolved, That Congress should unset a law providing for the com-1 pulsory arbitration of industrial dis putes.” The triangular debates be E»sss the fsrioG! *choojg >nt the State will be held in the utter part of March and the final mutest, as usual, will be held at Ibapel Hilt early in April for the hycock cup.

Seventy seven counties are at work putting into operation the mw State quarantine law, according to a map published in the September issue of she health bulletin, which is just from the press.

C. W. Huske, an insurance man Eormerly of Fayetteville, who came to Asheville from Washington some months ago, committed suicide in the woods near Asheville on the 16th. He left a note containing this: 1 ‘Lay down the burden, weary one, ind come unto me and rest.’ Thieves uined; business and everything cone.

Two rocent instances where messages of this character have come from Eurdpe, revealing facts which the govern ment wished to be withheld ffon publication, prompted the the war department. Christopher C. Bland, a hero of Fort Fisher, committed suicide at his home at Ayden, Pitt county, Tuesday by shooting himself with a shotgun. He had not been consid ered mentally right since a severe illness several years ago. He was 73 years old, father of Lee Bland, a hotel man well known over the State, being proprietor of the Ricks house at Rocky Mount, the Bland at Raleigh, and several others. acjHj^f There were 211 cases of tubercu losis less in North Carolina last year than |tbe year before. This reduc tion, according to the State Board of Health, brings the State’s death rate from tuberculosis to 138.6 against 127 7, the rate of the United States for 1915. If the same annual reduction could be kept op for fif teen years, says the Board, the State would have no deaths from this dis ease and woold soon have the tuber culosis problem under control. Hon. R. 0* Everett, retiring presi dent of the North Carolina State Fair, is enthusiastic in his advocacy of plans that are for extending and liberalizing the scope and usefulness of the fair as a really State institn lion that reflects and demonstrates the progress of the State agricul turally, commercially, and in the home life of the people. He wants the fair organization resolved either into a stock company of broad scope and ample conserving safeguards, or brought under the auspices and direction of the State Board of Agri culture. State Farmer*’ Union Will De clare Itself. At the meeting of the executive committee of the State Farmer*’ Onion in Raleigh last week, Mr VP B. Gibeon, of Statesville, chairman' the following resolutions were adopt “Resolved, That it is our belief that the State Farmers’ Union should adopt a ringing resolution of lovaitf to the national government and to our allow in the prosecution of the war in which we are engaged “Resolved, Becond, That all fi4r. ther discussion be eliminated leaf, ing all matters of detail or'noUji concerning (be conduct of tlle and its termination to the individual judgment of members without of SSaw?trDi"ronou—H * Regardless of what candidates for President members are support,,, it was announced that the (Juion men of the State wish and c,„i2 •ueb a ringing declaration of |J„Up let WWfMooStroversie, L J detpil*. “There is no. yellow ,tr„ among North Carolina Union ram ■aid one member of the Sommittd Advertised pud Got ,, Worth 440,000. from The Kobesonlan.

That other seeker after matrimonial bliss said she had another offer from a man in Texas sod she left here for that State, word coming back after a while that she and the Texas man had been mutually satisfied and had been married. Mutiny In German Fleet. Fresh disaffection in the German licet, mutiny in the Austrian fleet in the Adriatic and bitter feeling be tween German and Austrian seamen in the Adriatic is told in Friday’s press summary- German sailors at Osteud are reported to hare refused to go aboard submarines for duty' and to hare thrown overboard one of their officers. In the Adriatic the Austrian seamen have mutinied owing to ill-treatment by their offi. cers and the bad food served to them. The bitterness of feeling be tween the Germans and Austrians at Pola, Austria’s naval base in the Adriatic, resulted in a fight in which men on both sides were killed. The trouble was due to the overbearing conduct of ihe German seamen, who were attached^ to the submarine flotilla, and it was necessary as a re sult pf the bad blood to change the German base in the Adriatic to a point farther south.
