"Were half thepo-uer that fills the
Avovld with terror,
"Were hall' the vealth bestowed
on camps and courts,
Given 1o redeem the human mind
from error,
T lierevere no need of arsenals
and forts.
The Ava rrior's name would be a
name abhorred !
And every nation that should
lift ajrain
Its hand agamst a brother, on its
forehead
Would wear for evermore the
curse of Cain!
Down the dark future for long
generations
The echoiii? sounds grow faint
er and then cease ;
And like a bell Avith solemn, SAveet
vibrations
I hear once more the voice of
Christ say, ''Peace!"

Have to Say About Him
To the Democratic Voters of the Third Judicial District:
We the undersigned citizens of Warrenton, North Caro
lina, the home of Hon. John II. Kerr, who is a candidate for
the nomination for Judge of this district to succeed Judge
R. B. Peebles, deceased, before the primary to be held in this
district on the 9th day of September, 1916, with pleasure
and pride desire to commend Mr. Kerr to the citizens of our
district and beg that you give him active support for this
position: We do this because of our great esteem for him,
and because we knoAV of his splendid fitness for this office
and great honor. Mr. Kerr, having been our solicitor for
ten years ju this district, is avcII known to most of the peo
ple: he has filled the office of Solicitor with signal ability
and, Ave believe, to the entire satisfaction of the people of
the district; but AATe, his home people, knoAV him best, and aa'c
wish to testify to his high personal character and to his
ideal home life. He stands in this community for the high
est ideals and those tilings which tend to make our county
and our State better; he is a lawyer of large attainments
and great success, and Ave believe Avill adoriv the bench of
this State and be the equal of any of his splendid prede
cessors. With this character and these attainments, he is
besides a loyal Democrat and has never sAvervcd Avhen he
could do service to the party and the Avhite citizenship of
this S ate. Respectfully,

Why cook over a hot range in a hot
kitchen when you can be cool and
comfortable. The New Perfcctiott Oil
Cook Stove, the stove with the long
blue chimney, works like a gas stove.
The long blue chimney gives a perfect
draft, assures a clean, odorless heat and
lasting satisfaction. The fuel cost is
only two cents for a meal for six.
New Perfection Oil Cook Stoves are made
in many styles and -sizes. They are
sold by most good dealers who will
gladly show them.
