Randolph's Heroes
mmmmmM
(By Ida Ingold Mas ten.)
From the beginning of her history,
whenever it has been necessary for the
brave to defend her, Kandolpn county
has not lacked the stuff of which he
roes are made. If all life springing
out of her has not yet reached the he
roic stage, we shall not waste ourselves
in regret. Rather, we shall rejoice
that her showing has been as fine as
that of which any part of our country
can boast. We rejoice that when the
call came for help in a world crisis,
Randolph's answer was prompt, and to
the purpose, lhat she gave her best,
and gave it freely.
Her Cross of Grief
Randolph is now reading the dark
est chapter of the war. it is that she,
having given ireely, has also given
truly. Many of those best now sleep
on the hallowed fields of France. The
ranks of them, returning jjave been
thinned to a fragment. V, e have read
the touching accounts of their last bat
tie their supreme sacrifice, and of
how gloriously, yet how simply and
maniully, they paid their "last full
measure of devotion" to that cause, the
furthering on of which ve must now
dedicate ourselves.
Randolph is passing through her
night of grief. But by and by sue will j
lift, her cross from the dust, and the j
strength of her saall rise beneath it, !
and it shall become her cross of honor,
and she shall carry on with vision
made clear by sacrifice.
Heroes Withal
But again, all of Randolph's heroes
are not dead. We of today are not
much in sympathy with the once pop
ular idea that to become a hero one
must forfeit his life. Some of those
"best" are coming home. They will
walk our streets. They will live their
lives among us. They went away boys
just our boys and if our love and
tears could have made them perfect,
they certainly should have become su
per human. Now they are returning
not, saints, but men and every man
a"hero. Doubt exicts in the minds of
some people as to whether or not all
are worthy, the name oi; hero. But lis..

death far from home, "and not
friend in sight? You have not? Well,
then, deler your judgment of the fel
low who did.-
The all-important thing about the
drafted man who feared the conse -
cmence of war, is that he stuck it out. i and still you felt that all you eould do"
He may have felt the yellow streaks was so small of itself that Germany
chasing up and down his backbone, Dui . could not feel the force of it in so tre
that does not signify anything but the 1 mendous a crisis. Tt w?. nnt wh.t '
natural recoiling of human nature
irom an ugly experience. The sigmfi -
cant thing about it is, that he tarried

tney uiu not run away, but, in the gray
light of the merciless dawn, marched
away to their doom.
Same-Traveled Road
Why do we applaud a ready-made he
ro and sneer at him who is in the mak-
ing? Somewhere through the proceso
of the aires your born hero was made
brave by the Belf-same method. Is he
any better, therefore, because we have
not been witness to his trial I repeat
with confidence that all who Btuck it
out, and stood the test of the realities
of w&r though they may have quaked
like whipped curs at the beginning,
and may have been so full of vellow
streaks that they almost had to be
cnained in camp, are today worthy the
iuuho ox nero.
Have We Done All?
How shall we best dedicate ourselves
to the unfinished task" of those rloii
ous dead? How shall we show these
living heroes that pride, and honor, and
grautuae are not dead within us T
Many communities have the notion
that something in the way of a patrio
tic demonstration should greet tha re
turn of their boys home,- They sug
gest the erecting of electric "welcome"
signs in red white and blue; the firing
off of anvils; the blare of bands, a pa
rade, speech-making, and the like. A
few nave mourned so loudly because
they did not have a brass band and
other means by which to set up a noisy
and spectacular welcome for their re
turning heroes, that their concern has
reached the columns of the newspaper.
, Just "Hone." ,
Why. bless their welt.tneantnir
hearts I The boys have had the noisi
est time of their lives. Thev did not
know before that there eould be so
much noise and confusion In the world.
And they could not possibly enjoy the
firing off of an anvil, or the exnloelon
of a riant firecracker hero at home.
They have heard the bands blav both
sad and ray tunes till they are sated

Tobacco farming is ail the go in this
community.
Among the visitors at Mr. J. R.
Trogdon's last week were Misses Faus
ta Boling, Nora Xing, Rpina King, Me- .
da Richardson and Mrs. Henry Connor.
The school at Blaylock is still going
on under the management of Miss Sina
Boroughs.
The people of this community enjoy
ed a good last Saturday.
Miss Connie Moore visited her aunt,
Mrs. Emily King, near Asbury recent
ly. A joyful evening was snent with
friends at the home of Mr. J. R. Trog
don on last Friday. Music was made
by Miss Aquiline Ashworth on the vi
olin accompanied by Miss Connie
Moore on the autoharp. Also Miss
Donnie Moore entertained the friends
for a while with talking machine mu
sic. the old smile in mother's face. Greater
tan applause, than any welcome cele
bration could possibly be to him now,
is "Home." To be allowed to slip back
into the old life, and put his new ideas
and resolutions, to the test. Give him
his chance, and do not worry about
him. He will be all right.
Rather, worry about what is happen
ing to us who stayed at home. Are we
going to accept their sacrifice, of life
or of death, with a wink of the eye or
a shrug of the shoulders? Shall our
patriotism find its only expression in
me Doast:
"When WE entered the war, WE
turned the Teuton tide. Wl saved Eu
rope from the clutch of the Hun, there
fore WE are the greatest nation on
erth, Behold US"!
. And ' when we meet a Mtanuvl ni- '
diey, shall we so far forget his service

Perhaps you, my reader eft all that
you could to help win the war,' Yoa.
1 gave all your sbara tim amA nr'
pened to Germany through your' or my
: individual action that was most imnor
, tant to us. The war. in all nrnhnT;mi,

had not worked at all. Most important
was what was lunmnlni, a m, m
i deep concern for the suffering . wdrld
developed my life and thought alone
the l?ne of the lea.ue of all nations,
and the peace and happiness of man- '
kind, and so did yours. We had a spir
itual schooling, the like of which we j
had never known, and we grew to sucK,
stature that the small ideas which one"i
clothed us will serve us no longer. So
now, the manner in which we aeeept v
the service and sacrifice of our pplen- f
did men, is going to determine our ,
greatness, and the greatness ef our ' ,
community for ages to come.
How Goes Randolph?
Is Randolph searching for somer
measure by which she may show her
gratitude to her heroes, and her high
appreciation of them? The past has
proven that she is not lacking in these
things. The future should not be out-
done by the past. The heroes cf the ,'
'60's gave their lives in defense of na-'
tive-land. The heroes of 1J18 gave f'
theirs in defense of the peace of tha
human race, and of the homes of the
world. A vastly broader sad more al-:
truistic purpose.
It is but the natural outgrowth ef .
her high ideals and noble intentions ,
that Randolph should erect far her sol- '
diers a memorial. And a rood founds- ,
tion for this very practical dream
would be the dedication ef a pieos ef '
around near the center of .the tows ef
Asheboro by soma patriotic, ehivalsous
person who desires to send along down
the ages a strong arm of bleaaiar to
the future welfare of his coaununnr. "
Wist Shall It Be. . ' ,
Cold stone statues have well-expressed
the pride and honor of the past
which they adorn 1 in Urge numbers.
Let the past stand, wo have no quarrel
with it But tha key not of the pros- '
ent Is Service, and it shall become
complete master of the future. Let v
your monument be of stone or WtirV if .
you like, but give it a heart ef service.
The service easiest of access to the
largest number of people over the lsr-
rest possible area of country. I do not
know what the nature of this memorial
should be. The county can best decide
that . Build a library if the twnU r
the county will use It Or a hospital, if
the greatest rood can come to th
greatest number of people th roues
that sort of an institution. But build
-something. .1
If the iter! floe and the service of
both the living and the dead do not
stir us to some such action, the lnj-n-
