THEIR'S A GREAT PRIVILEGE
What could be a greater privilege than to fight
for one's country, especially for the cause Ameri
ca has espoused?
Thirty young men, in the bloom of health and
life, of the blood and bone of Old Pitt, left yester
day for a training camp, where they will undergo
discipline. At the station a large crowd of rela
tives and friends gathered to "see them off." Eve
ry one of these young men were willing to go
,they seemed resigned to a patriotic fate, (if it be
called fate) and will mace good soldiers. The tra
ditions of their forefathers will serve for them a
guiding post and they will enter upon the life of
military men with energy and determination.
Their going away is but an incident of a day: their
return (probably some may never) will be an
epoch. They were in the best of spirits, neverthe
less. To each of them there is a satisfaction that of
rendering unto the flag, which protects them, all
that they can. Those who leave behind t.Vip
mothers and sisters, fathers and brothers, must
know that their going away is regretted; yet the
amy to our government acts as salt to the bread.
To give them up is hard, but they go for a precious
cause for the redemption of the world from au
tocratic domination and the vengeance of the op
pressed widow and orphan. Pitt County boys are
xctuy at cne iront, ana they are rendering to the
Country a service that is holy.
: O
The American army is not fighting for territory
yi . ui uie mst oi victory; they are not fight
ing for glory or fame; they are fighting that they
may preserve for themselves and their country
men and that they may help all the world, includ
ing their present enemies, enjoy the blessings of
government "of the people, by the people and for
the people." They will go over the top. They will
feed-wire defenses, trenches, dug
outs and pill boxes. They cannot be stopped by
barrages, machine guns, rifle fire or bayonets.

Mkjor W. A. Graham, Commissioner of Agri
culture, is to be commended for refusing to lend
encouragement to the movement in certain q ut
ters to halt the campaign against the cattle tick.
As the head of the Agricultural Department in
the State naturally he could not give his sanction
to interference with the execution of a program
which promises so much as does the cattle tick
campaign.
County by county and State by State the South
is delivering itself from this body of death around
the neck of its cattle growing industry. 'Animal
industry experts of assorts are united in the be
lief that the right sort of campaign is being con
ducted. Then why shuld not the good work go on?
Of course no good thing is ever had without
some trouble and inconvenience. But the benefit
that comes from expelling the cattle tick far out
weighs, in the judgment of experts, the difficulty
that is found in accomplishing such expulsion.
The future of North Carolina as a beef -produc
ing- State lies in part in this one single question of
driving out the cattle tick. If large sections of
the State remain infested with the cattle tick the
beef from that section will never command the
price of the products of sections which have been
freed of the tick.
Shall the cattle tick have a part of our food while
there is danger of all the world hungry?

parted friend is not new. In truth, it has always been the endeavor
of mankind to so mark the last resting place of its dead, 'that future
generations might read and recall.
We have every facility for assisting you in perpetuating the mem
ory of thosv you have loved and lost.
WE WANT an opportunity to submit our prices and goods to you.
We carry only the best and believe we can show you it will be to

job. A good article has always a standard value, and if you buy be
low said value something is wrong.
