OVUM TOP
Though much has been done
in Martin County for the sale of
W. S. S-, the workers and peo
ple should not be satisfied until
an Honor Flag is unfirled among
these people. It is confidently ex
pected that every township will
go over the top Martin must se
cure an honor Flag and a strong
pull together will get it.
There is much work still to be
done, and even one man in
township can hinder or speed the
sale of Stamps, which a:e to
help win the fight for US. Are
you the man? Can you refuse to
behind the boys of Martin
County whoTiave lei i home and
loved ones for the bloody battle
fields of Europe? They are filfht
ing that the women ai A children'
of America may be spared the
atrocities which have appalled
the civilized * world. The people
back home must furnish the
money to keep them in fighting
tr}m—will Martin County fail to
do her part? Shall it be said that
her gpople are slackers with
their cash?

Bad For Shippers
For the in the mem
ory of the oraest inhabitant of
Williamaton, there is no freight
steamer plying the waters of the
Roanoke River. The company
owning steamers which run on
the river, has hot supplied one
in the place of that which was
sunk at Edenton some months
ago. The river is of too great
importance for the present con
dition Hamilton and Poplar
Point and the various landings
up the river are without any fre
ight accommodation, as they are
removed from the railroad. Will
iamaton, which has enjoyed
cheaper rates than many nearby
places, gets in line with higher
rates of carriage. In the fall a
large quantity of peanuts and
cotton is shipped by water, and
much freight received from Nor
folk and other points via Eden
* ton. If the war should ceas >, the
situation might change and an
other boat be placed >n the line;
what about the time until
such a thing happens? Is it not
a practical matter to form a
company to secure a boat for the
route? How about it? It is at
least, worthy of consideration.

THE SLACKER
Throughout North Carolina and, the nation sentiment
toward the slacker is crystafizing ami the fine finger of
scorn and contempt is searching him out.
There are several varieties of slackers. Here are some
of them:
The service slacker— the man who should bo in the
ranks and is not.
, The labor slacker- the man who is able to work and--
doesn't.
The food slacker—the male or ferryde hog who refuses
to readjust their dint so as to meet Ihe demands of our
Allies for rtiose foodstuffs which may be exported.
The financial slacker the individual who can hut drtes
not buy Liberty bonds aiid War Savings Stamps.
Slacking at home means more blood spiljed by true blue
American, boys in France..
Slacking in America means starvation for innocent
women ami children in Lnglund, France ami Italy.
Slacking at home is a menace to tin* sucei -sol' the .
American, British and French arms in France.
THE SLACKER'S REWARD
The intelligent, observant, patriotic people of America
will not forgive slack ing,
The slacker is a njarked man. Not only during the
war, but a* the war goes on and the casualty lists come
in he will be more ami more scorned and hated by decent
citizens.
After the war is over he will be an object of fonternpt.
He will be without tlia regard of decent people in his
community. His children and his children's children
after him will pay n bitter juice for Ifis disloyaltv For
his failur#under test to do his duty by his country and by
humanity.
Inexorable fate is setting him apart and li* will not
eioape
Every Bushel Saved Now Will
Supply a Soldier with Bread
Until Next Harvest.
