It has been asked so many times what qaiised thisreat war and there have been as many answers as the different minds could muster up. As; Ada-ii sinned we all in Adam died "and rin and Satan havp hwn ot work; in the hearts of men ever - siniice; a::d from that, dry until now, when the devil would get such a hold on a man that ruled a nation until he thought like Paul, when he was on his way to Damascus, that all. pre - wrong except himself and all must bow down to his rule; then you: Will see a disconted people and hey will fight .and lie for their rights and liberty s. my answer would be: the devil is the whole cause of this grert war, ; s he was the first ever to raie war far we are told in God's Word' uiathe raised war in heaven; then he was bound and cast into the j)it that burns forever, and he should be loosed on earth for a season. Now. I think he has been loosed in the form of the Kais erjpf Germany, for he began making preparation over forty years ago, that he might bring war and trouble and bring the world under his hellish rule and terror; so he gathered to gether his allies and swooped down on little, weak Belgium and begun his cruel work by killing the men, ill-treating (he innocent girls and murdering ths children, until France could stand it no longer. Nation after nation saw the great yci;e arid burden he was trying to place upon the world until we, ii::e the other nations, could - stand it no longer. Then, our great President, with his heart uplifted to God. in -praye us lemug iu luegruciiis oi momers and the cries of babes that the cruel Kaiser, by his U-boats, had sent to the bottom of the briny deep; with their hearts bleeding in sorrow they answered our great Woodrow Wil son "We ar ready to stand at your back until we hear no more cries and groans in the migh-y deep and the world has her liberty mid the people are free." After due consid eration and much study and prayer and long forbearance, our country called and our noble boys answered: "Here am I; send me!" and our noble sons begun to rally around the flag pole of the old stars and stripes. Many of our boys are in the strug gle until she shall come fluttering in the air to her native land with her stripes brighL and her stars glit- tering and our boys, with a smile on their faces, shouting: "We never let her go do wn in defeat, nor drag in the dusf. no, neither did she get wet in the sea." Then, a a she enters our harbors she will fl itter in the air and say, in whispering tones to our mothers: "Glory to God; honor to vour sons: peace on earth and liberty to the world." On which side are you? The dev il's for war, or God's, for liberty and peace? We, who stay at home are allied with one or the other; now how are you going to show which side you are on? Are you going to show our boys you are allied with them; by buying Liberty Bonds and ; War Savings Stamps and helping the Red Cross, or are going to show that you are allied with the Kaiser by keeping your money in banks or loaned out at big interest to some private trust, and not doing any thing except standing around talk ing hard times, riding -around in an automobile and stabbing your boys in the back? Let us as'k ourselves; where do I stand? J J. S. Leopard. Cateechee, S. C, Mrs. D. E. Brysori went to Way nsville vesterday for a visit with relatives. Born to Mr. and Mrs. G. W.

JULY 26 1918, JACKSON COUNTY'S RECORD AT STAKE (Editorial) Jackson Cbunty's record is again at stake. Next week beginning Mon day August 5th and continuing t h r o ugh Saturday Aug ust 1.0th; the people of this county win again be given an opportunity Ml... to say to the Government whether or not they can be counted on to help win the . war. narticularlv through the War Savings Campaign. This is the second time that the Government has asked this county to declare itself in regard to this work, to say whether or not it would pledge itself to raise its quota of War Savings Stamps during the year. It asked that this.be done by subscribing its entire quota in pledges, which was the ' purpose of the War Savings drive of the week ipf June 23-28. As a result of the first War Sav ings drive this county pledged only 54 per cent of its quota,, This means that 46 per cent is yet to be pledged. This is the task of next week. The county's entire quota of War Sav ings Stamps amounts to $285,960.00 or an average of $20 for every in dividual in the county. Knowing as we do the size of the task that is before us next week, our first duty is to set ourselves about to do it. Nothing should come before this call of the Govern ment. Our private and personal interests can be, and should be, set aside until we have redeemed our county frorn the unfavor able position it now holds in this work, and place it on record as 100 per cent patriotic. This will- call for sacrifice on the part of our citizens but' we will be a poor lot if we are not able to make at this period of our country's struggle whatever sacrifice and service is necessary to save ner righteous cause. We beiieve that this county's re cord a3 a result of next week's War Savings drive will come clear and clean. We believe that by Satur day night, August 10, Jackson Coun ty can boast with pride that her people are 10U per cent patriotic, that they are in to help win the war. and that their answer to their Government is that they can be counted on always to do their part in def euding the flag and fighting or freedom and justice. w. s. s.

"BUT ONE WAY TO PEACE, AND ' " THAT IS THE WAY TO BERLIN ' "Editor Manufacturers' Record:My opinion is that ecaimot consider any terms of peace whatsoever with the German Goyernment as now constituted. Germany . must be licked and the Hohenzollerns kicked off the throne before we dn. even talk of peace without outraging our self-respect. . The German military ring must be broken and so shattered that it can never be reunited. Those who have been responsible for the' rape of Belgium and France; those who have been responsible for the hei nous outrages upon the civilian pop ulations overridden by Germany; those who have been responsible for torpedoing' passenger vessels and hospital ships, and for dropping aerial bombs on shore hosDitals hose who have been responsible or the killing and maiming of wo men and children in London and Paris with aerial bombs; those who lave been responsible for breaking he most sacred treaties and obli gationshave placed themselves beyond the pale and cannot and must not be bargained with in any peace arrangement. Those militaristic bandits of the breed of Attilla who cold bloodedly prepared to plunder the world and enslave mankind, and to that ne farious end planned to violate every human obligation and attribute of duty, mercy and decency, and are not nt to place tneir names to a peace compact beside those of the heroes who shall, . with sacrifice of blood and treasure, save the world Anyone proposing peace with Germany before Kaiserism shall have been crushed out of existence should either be .interned or be placed in an insane asylum for medical treatment. There is but one way to peace, and that is the way to Berlin, It will be a long., hard, expensive and bloody road, but it is the only road, and when we shall have arrived at the end of that road we shall have only a sub jugated, suppliant, Kamrad-calling populace to deal with, and the terms which we shall then make will not be the terms of bargain, but merely terms imposed by us according to our ideas of justice. Justice will make one inexorable demand on that occasion, and it will be that Germany shall bear the burden of rebuilding and reimburs ing Belgium and the desolate por tions of Northern France in full measure, and Alsace and Lorraine must be restored to France. Whatever terms may be imposed will matter far less. Hudson Maxim " Landing p G N j iilUUU 1 1 liUmi W iYO i 1 W IX f. Fifth Federal Reserve District -w. s. s.

Certificates have been issued to every individual or con- . cern in North Carolina who got their r statements into the orhce in nrooer form and within the required period. and if any dealer has not received ' his certificates it is because (1) his statement was not complete insome detail, or (2) because it was not filed by July 15th.
