Do your duty by the fair. -wss- The next drive will be that for the War Savings stamps. You are ex pected to buy at once or promise to do so during the year. Henderson county will doubtless keep up its good record. wss Hendersonvilie is entertaining a large number of visitors. President C. F. Bland, of the Board of Trade, has closely observed the situation and he is confident that the city now has within its gates as many visitors as it had on the first of July last year. This is a good record. A great year is expected despite war and the increase in railroad passen ger rates. Within a few weeks the city will doubtless be crowded with visitors. -wss- The Confederate veterans were givn an enjoyable time Monday by the Daughters of the Confederacy. Their number is rapidly decreasing and soon they will be with us no more, therefore it is fitting that they be shown these kindnesses at least once a year. -wss- A COUNTY FAIR. It rests with the people of Hen derson county to say whether or not they will have a fair this year. They have been asked to gather at their school houses on Saturday night of this week and determine their wish in the matter. It will be necessary to have at least $500 to make the fair a worthy one. The State authorities will give $100 of this and probably the county authorities will give an equal amount. It is an important matter in which all the people should be in terested. Each school district should on Saturday night signify its willing ness to raise some money for the fair or it will be a failure. These reports should be reported to Presi dent C. F. Bland at once. If they are encouraging the fair will be held. If they are discouraging a fair will not be forced on the people. It is not a money making enterprise for any one and the burden of financing it should be distributed. The people must help generally or there will be no fair. -wss- MIGHT VERSUS RIGHT. In a speech at Bremen on March 22, 1915, Kaiser Wilhelm had this to say: "If you ask me 'how shall I build up the Kingdom of God?' my answer is: 'be a good German,' stand by the Fatherland. Do your duty and fulfill your mission. Seek to submerge yourself in German tirit, in German mind. Be Ger--4&g in piety and will, which simply ;me?es be true, faithful, and valiant. ; Help g& best you can toward our vic tory; 'help to make our Fatherland jrow and wax mighty." - - Since the three evil spirits, NietZ rsche, Treitschke and Bernhardi en tered the German mind the one am '.hiliojn tthose in authority has been r!4 CoSqulst. The teachings of the lowly Nazartne have been held in contempt because they exalt mercy and humanity above physical might and power. The one idea has been to weed out the smaller nations an the same manner a herdsman would weaklings from his flock and preserve only the strong and healthy. Nietzsche, the "prophet of the mailed fist," preached the gospel of pride and might and his teachings so inflamed the minds of the youths of Germany that they became willing to spill their life's blood for the Ger man ideal. To him the teachings of Christ make an effeminate people who should "not be regarded as a part or parcel of those whose ideals have been fixed for them by dynastic aims and ambitions which could only be translated into reality through subservience to authority and by the unrestricted use of force. And so with his contemporary, Trietzschke, another German philosopher, who contended that weakness in men and nations is the result of wrong-doing and when destroyed right is enthron ed. According to his theory weak ness must always be condemned as the most disastrous and despicable of crimes, the unforgivible sin of poli tics. He preached and Germany be lieved. But it remained for F. von Bern hardi, a German general, to put the intentions of his superiors in""black and white in his history "Germany and the next war;" for he boldly de clared that the German- claim to a great position in the world might lead to a war similar to the Seven Years War. Predicting a victory full and complete he admonished all true Germans to gather round the Emperor, when the critical time should come, ready to give their blood and their treasure for the honor, the greatness, and the future of the German nation. "Through war to victory" was his slogan. And, al though other peoples and nations did not take him seriously at the time, ine war ne predicted came in all its fury-and has been carried. on n - n , it v. a . rut hlessnes s, and nntnnwn in conflicts between nations. His book had small circulation before the war started and his ideas appeared so impractical that few people took him seriously. But the German ob ject long ago is perfectly apparent now. The peoples who have faith in themselves and in each other and in the ordered ways of law and jus tice, by which they have sought in the past to regulate both their do mestic and international relations, are forced to fight for existence. The self-governing nations have long had a unity in their funda mental attitudes which they did not realize fully until this fearful war endangered and revealed them. Now, the best of what they had establish ed or dreamed of establishing in the way of popular government, is en dangered by the menace of German arms. It is little wonder that America became involved and has taken her place with the leagues of liberty rep resented in the galaxy of the na tions allied against German oppres sion. Germany must be beaten if uuu mmvi w - . the world shall remain a fit place m which civilized safety, abide. peoples may, with LEND YOUR MONEY. If you lend your money to the gov ernment, you may be quite sure that it is going to be used for some na tional purpose to prosecute the war successfully, to care fore, equip, arm, and support our soldiers in France, to be used by our navy in ridding the seas of the murderous U boats. But if you spend your money even with the belief that by putting it intol the channels qf trade others into whose hands it comes will lend it to the government, you will have done something the patriotism of which may be very questionable. First, you have withdrawn from the supply of material of the nation something to replace which in the market will require labor and mate rial which should be devoted to war purposes. Second, the person to whom you pay your money may also use it to purchase things requiring material and labor which should be devoted to war purposes. And the person to whom he pays it may repeat the op eration. But when you lend your money to the government instead of spending it, you will at once lessen the drain to a certain extent on our country's resources, its material, its labor, and its transportation facilities, and in addition you supply your government with money to be used in winning the war. Every purchase of a Thrift stamp is an additional act toward bringing victory to America and her allies. LETTING POLITICS REST. ... B: ; . This i3 election year, but in North Carolina no paramount issues are at stake. In fact, there is nothing at stake except the selection of meif to hold the offices that must be filled. The State democracy is enjoying an era of harmony and good feeling, a condition it has not experienced to an extent anything like the present in a long, long time. Everybody ap pears to realize that winning the war is paramount to every other consid eration and that we must not neglect our duty to the republic in this most trying hour of its history. The law requires that an election shall be held,, but there is going to be mighty little noise about it this year. The de mocracy has a patriotic program to carry out, first of all, and politics will be a secondary consideration until America and her allies shall win a glorious and a lasting peace. A State-wide primary is to be held on Saturday, June 1, for the nomina tion of the candidates of all political parties for State and district offices. But it will be an unnecessary expense this year, for no State officer is op posed for re-election and only three congressmen have opposition. In the Third district, Congressman Hood decided to retire on account of ill health and there is a contest between Solicitor Charles L. Abernathy, of Newberne, and United States Mar shall W. T. Dortch, of Goldsboro. Representative Doughton is opposed in the Eighth district by Hon. Walter Murphy, of Salisbury; in the Ninth district the seat of Congressman E. Yates Webb is sought by Judge W. B. Council, of Hickory, while Represen tatives Small, Kitchen, Pou, Stead man, Godwin, Robinson and Weaver are unopposed. The State Board of Elections has declared them the democratic nominees in their respec tive districts. Other nominees, who were similarly so declared, are: For United States Senator, F. M. Sim mons; Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, Walter Clark; Associate Jus tices of the Supreme Court, Piatt D. Walker and William R. Allen; for member of the Corporation Commis sion, GeorgeP. Pell. There are contests for judge in five, only, of the twenty judicial dis tricts the Seventh,' Thirteenth, Sev- the most spirited fight being in the - . rnl Seventh district, where juage xnos. H. Calvert, of WaKe, is oppuseu wy W. B. Snow, Police Judge W. C. Har ris, and Percy J. Olive, all of Raleigh and Wake county, and State Senator Willie M. Person, of Franklin. In the Thirteenth district Judge W. J. Adams has opposition in the person of John T. Bennett. Judge E. B. Cline retired from the bench in the Seventeenth and the contest for his ermine is between M. H. Yount, of Catawba, and T. B.Finley and C. G. Gilreath, of Wilkes. Judge M. H. Justice finds two opponents in the eighteenth district, Welch Galloway, of Transylvania, and J. Bis Ray, of Yancey, while State Senator W. J. Hannah, of Haywood, and Capt. A. M. Fry and former Solicitor Thad D. Bryson, of Swain, are desirous of succeeding Judge Garland Ferguson in the Twentieth, the latter having announced his purpose of retiring at the expiration of the present term. Twenty solicitors are to be elected this year and seventeen of these now holding the positions are asking for reelection. Solicitor Abernethy, of the Fifth district, retires to become a candidate for congress and Solicitor Shaw, of the Sixth, decided not to run. Solicitor Geo. W. Wilson is op posed in the Fourteenth by J. L. Jones and Marvin Ritch. The Ab ernethy vacancy is sought by "J. L. Hortori, R. E. Whisnant, J. K. War ren and Z. V. Rawls; while J. Frank Wooten, Jas. A. Powers and Jno. A. Gavin is e'ach hoping to succeed So licitor Shaw in the Sixth district. There are fewer contests for State senator and local offices than usual over the State and this is apparently to be the nearest approach to a "po liticless year" that North Carolina has experienced in many a day. And the people are going to appreciate the political respite it will bring. Politi cal parties are considered necessary to the maintenance of a proper bal ance in government. However, other considerations outweigh this some times. Besides, there is no cause for alarm over the management of public affairs in North Carolina and right now is the time, if there ever was such a time, when everybody may lay aside partisan feeling and join in the support of the sons of democrats and the sons of republicans who are today in camps and trenches side by 'side, "wearing the same uniform", fighting for the same flag, not parti sans, but plain Americans." We owe Jo these boys, and to our country, an undivided allegiance,, which cannot be paid by engaging in small scraps at home." Unless the republicans be come "obstreperous" politics will be given a much needed rest in North Carolina this year. And why not? THE "SONS OF REST." The farmers of the State are ad monished to increase the production of foodstuffs this year over last in the face of an acute shortage of la bor due, in a measure, to the call of thousands of our young men to ser vice in the army. The need for help on the farm was never more urgent than it is today, nor has the remuner ation for this class of work been more atractive. Despite this fact thousands of able-bodied men of va rious classes and conditions may be seen loitering around places of amusement all over North Carolina who ought to be engaged in some profitable employment. It is esti mated that 25,000 male persons are to be found in the State leading thriftless lives right now who should be producing food for themselves and the armies abroad. This Is, in deed, a deplorable condition for which a remedy should be provided without delay. Every citizen of the State and the country ought to be a producer during this crisis, if he is capable of service in any capac ity. Those who are unwilling to work should be compelled to get busy or go hungry. There is a vagrancy law on the statute books of North Caro lina which would go a long way to wards correcting this evil of Mleness if the authorities are amind to put nerve and determination behind it. It is this: If any person shall come within any of the following classes, he shall be deemed a vagrant, and shall be fined not exceeding $50, or impris oned not exceeding thirty days. 1. Persons wandering or strolling about in idleness xvhn ra qK1q wui-k ana nave no property to sup port them. 2. Persons leading a'n idle, im moral or profligate life who have no property to support them and who are able to work and do not work. 3. All persons able to work having no property to support them and who have not some visible and known means of a fair, honest and reputable livelihood. ' 4. Persons having a fixed abode who have no visible property to sup- 1- J 1. ' by trading in, bartering for or buying stolen property. 5. Professional gamblers living in idleness. ' .6. All able-bodied men who have no other visible means of support, who shall live in idleness upon the wages or earnings of their mother, wife or minor child or children, ex cept male child over eighteen years j of age. This is the instrument with which thousands of thriftless individuals may be put to work in North Caro lina if the State and city courts will see that it is properly applied. Hun dreds of strong young men have been called from the farms to fight our battles and the draft ought to be applied to everyone left at home who is capable of service1 as a producer on the farm and in essential industrial pursuits. Cities and towns are the breeding places for loafers and the authorities may compel them to move along or go to work. Judges, solicitors, recorders, the police, sher iffs and other officials of the State and city courts have a great oppor tunity for genuine service to their country open to them. Idleness is sinful at all times. It is doubly so at this critical period. The men of North Carolina, and elsewhere, who have not been called upon to handle a gun should be put to work raising food products. The war cannot be won with bullets alone. Our fighting men must have bread and other es sentials. There is no place for "the sons of rest" in any circle of our civil or military life and slackers of every Jsort should be speedily dealt with. "Where there's a will, there's a way." The Baptists of the State are rais ing a million dollars for the endow ment and permanent improvement of their schools and colleges in North Carolina. The campaign Was launch ed in Raleigh last week and resulted in a fifty thousand-dollar drive. This is one-twentieth of the amount the State is asked to pledge to the meritorious cause. There is nothing little about the capital city. The legislatures of eleven State? have ratified the federal prohibition amendment to the constitution by a total senate vote of 308 to 58; house, 874 to 236. This vote shows that 84 per cent of the senators and 79 per cent of the members of the popular branches so far called upon to ex press themselves were favorable to the amendment. There was not a dissenting vote in either branch of the South Dakota legislature. The States that have ratified are: Missis sippi, Virginia, Kentucky, South Car olina, North Dakota, Maryland, Mon tana, Texas, Delaware, South Dakota, and Massachusetts. Of these Ken tucky, 'Maryland, Delaware and Mas sachusetts have long, been classed as strong liquor States. The women vote in Illinois, and in the recent local option election up there three-fifths of them voted wet. But then, it is explained, that hap pened in the large cities with a heavy . , , lx-ay xwicigxi voie. mayDe so, DUt even this is not a very strong argument for equal suffrage anywhere. It is prob ably true that the better class of women in Illinois did not go to the polls at all. The North Carolina women would not, have done, it. The third Liberty Loan campaign has been concluded and our people measured up to expectations, with a good-sized margin to their credit. It was just like them' to "do the hand some." Now, all may confidently turn their attention to the purchase of Thrift stamps and War Savings certificates, for North Carolina is ex pected to purchase $48,000,000 worth of these "baby bonds" during the year 1918. This county being 100 per cent American will, of course, take its full quota. An army of small savers is behind the movement and even the children are learning to be patriots. NlCE RED CROSS CHECK. Prof. G. W. Bradshaw last week turned over to the local Red Cross a check for $181.12, which represented $53 collected at - the county com mencement and other money collect ed by the school as a result of its pa triotic activities. Cholera Morbus. This is a very painful and danceV- ous disease. In almost everv neio-h- borhood someone has died from it be fore medicine could be obtained nr- a physician summoned. The right way is to have a bottle of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy in the house so as to be prepared for it. Mrs. Charles Enyeart, . Huntington, Ind., writes: "During the summer of 1911 two of my children were taken sick with cholera morbus. I used Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy and it gave them immediate relief." Adv.

RATES ON APPLICATION PHONE 14 WORK OR FIGHT IS NEW PROGRAM FOR REGISTRANTS; IDLERS NOT TOLERATED. Washington, May 23, Every man of draft age must work or fight after July 1 under a drastic amendment to the selective service regulations an nounced today by Provost Marshal General Crowder. Not only idlers, but all draft regis trants engaged in what are held to be non-useful occupations are to be haled before local boards and given the choice of a new job or the army. The statement of the provost mar shal general's office, follows : The Formal7 Statement "Provost Marchal General Crow der today announced an amendment to the selective service regulations which deals with the great question of compelling men not engaged in a useful occupation immediately to ap ply themselves to some form of labor, contributing to the general good. The idler, too, will find himself confront ed with the alternative of finding suitable employment or entering the army. The Habitual Idler. "This regulation provides that af ter July 1, any registrant who is found bv a local board to be. a ha- bitul idler, or not engaged in some ?sff ul occupation shall be summoned "before the board, given a chance to explain and, in the absence of a satis factory explanation, to be inducted into the military service of the United States.
