To Subscribers Of W. Tel. Co.
I desire to say a few words to
the subscribers of the Williams
ton Telephone Company, who
have been so kind to me since I
have been employed as night
operator.
I commenced working for the
Company about five years ago,
and have tried to give the very
best service that I could at all
times. It would indeed be a
pleasure to me if I could continue
to work on through the years to
come. For I feel that I am doing
a great service to accommodate
people, and the Central office is
a broad field for such accommo
dation.
I have been called to the colors,
and, therefore, am forced to re
sign as operator. Some day I
hope to come back and resume
my old and pleasant dutv of ser
ving the people thro the weary
hours of the night.
Thanking every subscriber of
the Company for even the slight
est courtesy shown to nr- during
the years as night operator, I beg
to remain.
Yours to serve,
Simon Liliey.
Annual Recital
For the first time, the Graded
School auditorium was used on
Monday evening, when the music
deparlment of the school under
Miss Helen Maynard gave the
annual recital The auditorium
was not quite complete, but suf
ficient chairs had been placed to
accommodate the 'audience. A
new piano was used, and this
added greatly to the pleasure of
both performers and hearers.
The programme opened with
a chorus by the High School
girls, and between the first and
second parts of the programme,
the playlet, "The Unexpected
Guest" was presented in a pleas
ing manner by a number of school
girls. The girls in the cast were,

aell, Mary Clyde Leggett, Mattie
Lou Anderson, Sarah Harrell,
Louise Harrison, Estelle Craw
ford, Annie Clyde Gurganus,
Janie Edwards, Eva Eure, Mar
tla Gotten Crawford, Nina Up
ton* Nellie Wynne.
The musical programme eon-
tained numbers from famous 1
authors, and the pupils showed |
thorough training and a close ap-!
plication to the study of the art. !
Though the pupils were ali
young, they memorized perfect
ly and exhibited marked improve
ment in technique. Mrs. J. G. I
Staton and Mr. W. T. Meadows ]
offered prizes for expression and j
time: these were won respective-;
iy by Mary Belle Harrell and Vel- j
ma Harrison. Prof, Edgar E |
Bundv presented the prizes in a
few well chosen words. Mrs. I
Carrie Biggs Williams, Mrs J. ;
H- Saunders and Miss Hilda

Who Will Be Responsible If North
Carolina Fails?
. I
If North Carolian should fail
to ' 'go over the top" on June 28,
is it going your County or
Township that made the State
fail? Every County and Town
ship Chairman has a definite duty
assigned him in the War-Savings
Campaign. If each will see that
the duty assigned him is faith
fully discharged and that his own
County or Township goes over,
the State will triumphantly suc
ceed in raising its quota in pled
on June 28 Who can afford not
to do what the Government has
asked him at this serious time?
And who can be responsible for
the Sta;e's failing by allowing,
his own County or Township or
Town to fail? Toe secret of
-North Carolina's success or fail
ure on the 28th will be whether
or not every man does the work
assigned to him for that week
and that dav.

The Kaiser's Talk To Hell
!
• I
Tiie Kaiser railed the I>evll up
On the telephone one day.
The girl at central listened to
All they had to sav.
'Hello" she heard the Kaiser say,
"Is old man Satan home
Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill
That wants him on the phone."
The Devil said "Hello" to Bill,
And Bill said "Haw are you
I'm running here on earth a hell;
Now tell trie wha to
"What can I do," the Oevil sai !.
"Mj drar old Kaiser Bi!';
If there's an> thing that I ia.i do
To help you I sure will."
The Kaiser said; ' Now listen.
And I will try to tel.'
The way that I am r imrn^
On earth a 1110 lern Hell
I suved for this fo m:tuy \«ais,
Ami I've started out t> kdl;
That it will he a modern j,b
You leave it to Kaiser Jill. •
My a-itu) went through Belgium, ,
Shootiug women and children down,
We tore up all her country
/ nd blew up every town.
My Zepps droppe 1 bomb* on cities,
Killing both young and old,
And those the Zeppelins didn't get
Were taken out and hung.
I started out for Pans
With the ai 1 of ;.>i-onotn gas,
The Belgians, darn 'em stopped me,
And wouldn't let me
My submarines aie devils,
Why, you wouldn't s>-e them fight;
They go sneaking through the sea,
And will sink a ship on sight
11 was running things t-j suit ma,
Till a year or sa ug• >,
When a man named ! A oodr Wilsou
Told me to g■> m r>; mow.
He says to tile, 'D-ar William,
I don't want to tnnk ■ \ou sore,
So be sure to tell > our t'-Boats
To sink .ur ships mo
We have tel 1 yon for •time.
So. dear Bill it' nri to yoti
And if you do not s: j it
You'll have to light uje ton."
I did not listen 11 him.
And he's coming after me
With a million Yankee soldiers
From their homes across the sea
Now tbat'« why I calied \ou Satan, I
For I want advice from you;
I know that you will tell me,
Just what I ought to do "
'"My dear old Kaiser Bill,
There's not much to tell,
For the Yanks will make it hotter
Than I can for you in hell.
I've been a mean old devil.
But not half as mean as you,
And the minute that you get here
I will give my job to you.
I'll be ready for your coming, I
And I'll keep the fires all bright, •
And I'll have your room all ready
When the Yanks begin to fight,
For the boytia blue will get you—>
* I have nothing more to tell;
Hang np the pdone and get your hat,
And meet me here in hell."
