WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 28, 1916
IWe hope that none of the romantic youths of Uncle
Sam's fighters will be inclined to surrender themselves
to the Mexican soldier lassies who are reported to form
part of the firing line in many of the Mexican companies.
"The District Record." the official organ of the Junior
Order in the Sixth District has made its initial appear
ance. The Record will be devoted to the upbuilding of
the Junior Order and to furthering its splendid work as
a fraternal organization and in stimulating education.
The Record has our very best wishes as has the splendid
organization which sponsors it.
; The old adage, "Politics make strange bedfellows" was
never more strikingly illustrtated that the love feast of
Mr. Hughes and the Colonel. Their exchange of notes
and expressions of mutual admiration are farcial and
nauseating, but nevertheless, there will be many in the
ranks who will regard the expressed admiration as bona
fide and blindly follow the coalition leaders.
JFayetteville Observer ' carries the resolution as well as
the suggested prayer and we very gladly respond to the
request of the women of Fayetteville to copy. The reso
lution and prayer follow:
"We, the women of the J. E. Bj Stuart Chapter, Daught
era of the Confederacy, and of the Woman's Civic Associa
tion, of Fayetteville, N. C, do hereby make a plea to the
women of the State, whether Federated Club members,
members of individual clubs or members of no club, to
unite in one grand effort to bring about peace in this time
of war.
"To this end we ask the press of the State to copy the
following prayer, and we earnestly request each and ev
ery woman to pause in her duties or pleasures, at 12
o'clock each day that from her heart this prayer may
ascend to the throne of grace whence alone cometh our
strength and guidunce:
"O God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom
can we come but to Thee for HELP, in this time of War
and Tumult? Take away all hatred, pride and prejudice,
and restore, we pray Thee, Peace and Harmony among all
nations. Relieve the sick and wounded, support the dy
ing, give skill and patience to all who minister in hos
pitals and camps, impart hope to those in anxiety and
sorrow, and protect those who are in peril by land or sea
THIS DAY.
"Restore to Our 'Country the blessings of Peace, and
so guide all in authority that Truth and Justice may be
established among us for all generations.
"These blessings we ask through Jesus Christ, Oui
Lord and Savior."
It is well enough for the Christian people of North
Carolina and of the Nation, both men and women, to
pray for peace. It is of course recognized that the honor
and integrity of the United States must be upheld, but
the "prayer of the righteous availeth much." It behooves
every Christian man as well as woman to daily ask God's
guidance for those who have the responsibilities of gov
ernment, the President of the United States and his ad
visors, that they imay be directed in all wisdom to lead this
Nation into the ways of an honorable peace.

WHAT OTHERS SAY
PENSIONS FOR CONFEDERATES.
The amendment of the federal law by Congress where
by soldiers and their widows are eligible In the future to
pensions is worthy of more than passing notice. There
is perhaps tio precedent in history where a people who
rebelled against their government were afterwards pen
sioned along with the veterans of the other side.
The people of the South, however, are a peculiar peo
ple. Their equal is not to be found. They have merited
the confidence of their northern brothers and one time
enemies and today there ia no more loyalty manifested
SAM TELLS HOW HE DID IT.
Hickory Record: "Personally, we were just as proud
of that front page as any bit of newspaper printing we
have ever seen even the first article we ever wrote for
any paper and we don't care if other people are proud
of it, either. It was a bit of art that could not be im
proved on in those offices which (boast of color presses.
For the benefit of those people who used to think that
printing offices carried red type, it may be stated that
three separate impressions were made of the front page,
the red and blue being printed Friday night and the reg
ular news feature Saturday afternoon.
"Well, the boys have departed, but they have carried
away with them the best things that Hickory and Cataw
ba folks could provide and the very best wishes and
earnest prayers for their safe return."

FORD NOT A COPPERHEAD.
Richmond Virginian: "We are delighted to print the
following as a sequel to our editorial comment of a few
in 1898 from the Southern people was such as to gain
recognition and commendation. Those who had command
ed troops in the Southern army offered their services and
were 'assigned commands and rendered conspicuous ser
vice in the victory over Spain. In the present unsettled
condition when war with Mexico seems immim'n no
where in the country is the response more cordial than
in the Southland.
Congressman George Huddleston of the Ninth Alabama
District, who holds the place formerly occupied by Mr.
Oscar Underwood, was instrumental In having the law
amended. Mr. Huddleston stressed the point that in the
present conflict many southerners will lie on the filing
line and his colleagues in the House responded almost
unanimously to his resolutions that ths old statute pro
hibiting Confederate veterans from participating in the
pension funds be repealed.
WOMEN PRAY FOR PEACE.
The Daughters of the Confederacy and the Woman's
Civic Association of Fayetteville are endeavoring to in
augurate a statewide campaign among the women for
'peace and they are urging the women of the State to
join daily at twelve o'clock in a prayer for peace. The
"Detroit, June 26. Henry Ford today denounced a pub
lished report that employes of the Ford Motor Company
who join the National Guard will not 'be taken back to
work when they return to Detroit. He said only thirty
seven of his employes belong to the State troops and
'that when they come back it certainly will be without pre
judice.' "In our comment we expressed the hope that the re
port that all Ford employes who went to the front would
lose thoir jobs would be found incorrect Mr. .Ford evi
dently does not care to be listed with the copperhea.ls."
GOOD ROADS' GOOD MEETING.
Wilmington Dispatch: "The public has the word of
Colonel H. D. Varner that the convention of the North
Carolina Good Roads' Association, held here last week,
was the best in the history of the State and one of the
West ever. And Varner knows what he is talking about.
He may be something of a politician, but when it comes
to being an authority on roads and things pertaining there
to Varner is without a superior. He has contributed twice
aa much energy, enthusiasm and work to the good roads
cause as any man in the State."
