tion. The world war and it came
like a thunder-clap. Unexpectant
and unready the United States en
tered the conflict and not for gain,
but for the preservation of national
ideals. Senator Simmons continued,
as he had been previously, the close
confidant and supporter of President
Wilson. The record of his service
stands out in the light and no man
has, at any time, dreamed of charg
ing F. M. Simmons with weakness
in suport of the administration or
opposition, ,benly or private, to its
plans. OnJj contrary, the work
of the chairman .fit the finance com
mittee during the war preparation
and conduct time, is a monument to
his wisdom and loyalty.
Acknowledged Ability
Recognized as one of the hardest
woi Iters; one of the most genial;
one of the keenest thinkers and al
was 'clear in his visions, Senator
Simmons holds the confidence of the
merubers of the senate and it is be
cause of these acknolwedged quali
ties that he has an influence of far
reaching measure with his fellow
workers. Will be re-elected
North Carolina will re-elect F. M.
Simmons. The fact is beyond dis
pute. 13iit, and it is time to think
about it, that re-election should be
by such a tremendous majority that
the vote would stand forth as the
hearty endorsement of the record
of the man during his eighteen
years of three consecutive terms and
in addiiicn be a recognition of his
abilityand his loyalty to the admin
istration and the principles for
which the American people are giv
ing their a'l.
Vany reasons
If one would go back of the rec
ord of the l.ast six years there could
be found many arguments, sound
and appealing, for the election oi
Seuator Simmers to the United
States senate. His service during
the "dark days," when it tried a
man's sculd to fight for democracy,
his work, daily, in session and out
of session m ..pposition to the re
publican K-aders who, at that time,
weiv adding heavily to the burdens
of Worth Caiclina people; his mag
nif.cen: bid in the struggle for
'white suMtmacy" and much
mtiro. In truth, the life of Furni
told 5U'Ji'nda1 Simmons of North
Carolina l as been consecrated to the
bet'i i!H2i'Si pi crt" Carolina from
his yotitll u m53
JtlSt hOW however, it is the P" 1
d ability of lb iiian, his fitness ..
th'3 pl.tce he occupies, his experience
in the work in which he is engaged,
his loyalty to the work of the ad
ministration in the world war work
these things make it important
that he be returned and by the larg
est vote ever accorded. North Car
ol: cs will do it.

PARCELS TO SOLDIERS
IN FRANCE
The other day a lady came to us
and asked us to do up a package for
her to be sent to a soldier in France.
We told her it could not be sent as
she did not have the approval of a
regimental officer.
We have found a great many who
do not understand the condition un
der which parcels may be shipped.
We would thank you to publish
the following in your daily and

PROGRESS IN COMPROMISE
FOR NATIONAL DRY BILL
Washington, Aug. 29. Plans of
Senate leaders for compromise leg
islation on national war time prohi
bition, proposed to become effective
July 1, 1919, Instead of January 1,
net moved forward yesterday with
the holding of additional conferenc
es and the holding of hearings by
the Agricultural Committee.
The program for the bill's con
sideration on the floor of the Senate
was upset by the dea.th of Senator
James, of Kentucky, causing ad
journment of the Senate, but today
It is proposed to bring the bill be
fore the Senate for continuous con
sideration until disposed of. So;..e
Senate leaders believe it may be
passed before adjournment.
Representatives of the "wet" and
"dry" factions continued to make
progress yesterday in the negotia
tions for the proposed compromise.
While the private conferences of
leaders was in progress, vigorous
protest ' against the legislation was
made before the Senate Agruculture
Committee at hearings on the prohi
bition provision. Representatives
of the wine industry, distilling in
terests, national hotel keepers and should be written plainly across tho
omers oner strong opposition to tn( , the back. The letter should be short,
It appears that the public does
not fully understand the conditions
under wwhich parcels may be sent
to America! soldiers in France. The
post office is permitted to accept
such a parcel only upon presenta
tion of a written request by the sol
dier, approved by a regimental of
ficer a colonel, lieutenant-colonel
or major. An officer's O. K. on a
letter in whioh a request is made
shows only that the letter has been
censored and passed; the officer's
approval must be made directly to
the request.
Parcels to soldiers in France are
limited to seven pounds weight.
They must be securely packed, and
plainly addressed with the soldier's
rank, name and army unit, thus:
Private William Smith
Company E. 105th linfantry,
American Expeditionary Forces.
The sender must enclose within
the parcel the soldier's request, ap
prover by a regimental officer. On
the wrapper the sender's name and
address must be written, with the
postmaster's endorsement:
"This parcel contains only arti
cles sent at approved request of ad
dressee, which is enclosed.
John Doe, P. M.
Rockulle, S. C. Aug. 25, 1918."
This procedure was adopted in
order to ave valuable cargo space
for goodSj munitions, and other es
sentials. Many articles useful to so'dlers
are on sale by quartermasters
l broad at the lowest possible prices.
A money order sent to a soldier will
arable him to supply himself with
out sending an approved requisition
and then waiting for the rarcel.
Parcel money orders to soldiers are
nirre out on domestic fori". but
ire drawn in "U S. Army Postal

name of any j articular postofiice.

If the division to which the sol
dier's regiment belongs is known
it should be given immediately af

Incorrect or illegible addresses
are responsible for a large propor
tion of all delays in the handling of
soldiers mail.
Mail for War Prisoners
As some North Carolina auiuiers
are now in the hands of the Ger
mans, and as others may be expect
ed in the natural turns of war to
become prisoners, it is necessary for
their families and friends who wish
to write them to follow the regular
forms. If these forms are not
strictly followed, letters will not
reach them.
It is important that mail to Am
erlcans held prisoners in Germany
or Austria be clearly and properly
addressed. Otherwise these unfortu
nuie men may suffer unnecessary
anxiety. The following form of
subscription should be carefully fol
lowed:
Prisoner of War Mail
No Postage
Private John Doe,
American Prisoner of War,
Camp, (if known)
