Thursday, October 24, 1918. “OVER THE TOP” AGAIN Transylvania has gfone “over the top” in the Fourth Liberty Laon drive, and were you sur prised? We were not in the least surprised. We knew Transylvania v. ould do her part in the Fourth as she has in ev- erj'thing else pertaining to the winning of the war. Transylvania subscribed ov er $16,000 more than her quo ta and was the second in the district to go over. But Tran sylvania has some things that all other counties do not pos sess, and amo:ig them, she has business men who, when they go after a thir.g are never satis fied unless it is done right, and Charie Orr was the right man to put in charge of the Fourth Liberty Loa \ He with the assistance of other patriotic citizens of the county did the job and did it well. Mr. Orr deserves mujh credit for his untiring efiOrt.'-. He dropped everything and put his whole soul in the work. Surely the average citizen of the country can afford to quali fy himself for a general elec tion in which the safety of his government is so deeply involv ed. Only those who are equip ped for service will be able to measure up to expectations on that momentous occasion which we all hope is to add further emphasis to the President’s ringing declaration that auto cracy must perish from the earth. The duty to register and vote is laid upon every demo crat this year. There can be no honorable exemption. The registration books have been open for three weeks and those who have not availed them selves of the opportunity to register have only a short time j in which to place themselves in a position to stand up and be 'counted for Wilson and a last- : ing peace. This matter of reg- ; istration is extremely impor- I tant and should not be neglect- j ed a single day. The republi- 'cans have been making a quiet ! and systematic campaign all ■over the State in their efforts ito secure a full registration of i those whom they believe will jvote the republican ticket. If i a considerable number of dem ocrats should fail to register - and vote, as many of them did !two years ago, they may wake up on November sixth to find that a congressman and some of the close counties have “gone glimmering.” Let us be up and doing at a time when licks will count. be misunderstood in foreign countries; certainly by Ger many and perhaps by the allies. For these an^ other reasons I have cast my first vote for the election of a democratic can didate for United States Sen ator and a democrat for the House of Representatives.” Captain Kanipe and Mr. Miles have plenty of company in the ranks of their republican friends. The republicans have little idea of electing John Motley Morehead over Senator Simmons, but they are less jubi lant over the prospects of elec ting Mr. Britt than they were a few weeks ago. Conditions in the district do not look at all bad for Mr. Weaver and if good party men will do their full duty by registering and voting there can be no question about the result. It is, therefore, ex tremely important that every administration man, be he dem ocrat or republican, shall regis ter and cast his ballot for Sim mons and Weaver. The loss of this district might lose the House organization to the President and cripple ad ministration plans for the pros ecution of the war. In that ev entuality the conflict would be prolonged and thousands of American lives placed in jeo pardy many months longer than a victory for the adminis tration would bring. Why take a chance. Better to be safe than to be sorry. na and the country over are in a heroic mood. They are trust ing the administration to win this war, which it entered with full justification, and will voice their approval of the Presi dent’s course with an avelanche of ballots on the 5th of Novem ber that will be heralded around the world. UGH! CALOMEL MAKES YOU raiY SICK Stop Using Danirerous Drug Be fore It Salivates You! It’s Horrible! PATRIOTISM FIRST THE LOCAL EXEMPTION BOARD Not all of the republicans of this section are placing politics above patriotism. Some of them have already announced their intention of supporting admin istration candidates for Senator and Congressman. One of this class is Capt. Dan A. Kanipe, a leaading republican of Mc- for I Dowell county, who in a recent with Governor Since the United States en tered into this struggle foi | democracy tlie News has given conversation considerable space to patriotic Bickett at Marion gave expres- causes and has also given some sion to this manly utterrance: space to patriotic citizens who ^ republican and have Simmons at the zenith of a bril liant career, especially when by so doing their action would be considered a refusal to sus tain the President in the efforts he is making to secure the fruits of war. The country is facing a for midable foe and the unstinted support of every patriot is needed to make victory sure, liberty a reality and bring a lasting peace to a bleeding world. It it Is little less than treason for any clas of men to speak lightly of those in au thority during this hour of per il. Every intelligent citizen of the country, who possesses ev en the semblance of fairness, cannot get away from the fact that the administration has made wonderful progress in its v^ ar activities since war was de clared and only the ignorant or . , . ^ the simple will dare to speak *1* Z" f.’ it in a disparaging way. p^. j Mr. Britt knew that tnere could triots never resort to that kind i gatherings and yet of trickery.

There is one question that Mr. Britt should answer so that the minds of thinking men could be quieted and that ques tion is this: “Why did Mr. Britt wait until practically every in the tenth congressional dis trict had ordered through its board of health that there should be no public meetings of any kind before he asked for a joint debate with Mr. Weav er?” As a reading man, as a man who keeps up with what vertisement.

MOREHEAD’S TIRADE The news comes from Ashe county that John Motley More- head, republican candidate for United States Senator, bitterly attacked the democrats in a speeck at Jefferson recently for having failed to keep the country out of the war and be littled their record in the con duct of it. He went on to say that the “democratic orators” had “adjourned politics” be cause they were afraid to face these charges and called upon the people to sustain the indict ments he had made. Mr. More- head need not take any conso lation to himself on that score. A ten year-old school boy knows that the administration kept the country out of war as long as it was possible and en tered only v/hen the situation could no longer be controlled without resort to arms. For more than two years President Wilson did all mortal man could to honorably keep our peace-loving nation out of the war and no one knows this bet ter than does John Motley Morehead. However,, it is needless to recite the causes which led our country into this war. The time for debate has long since passed. Grave and solemn we are marching for ward in majestic unity to meet the foe and this is enough for any true American patriot to know. Mr. Morehead is either in tentionally withholding from his republican brethren infor mation touching the matchless achievements of the adminis tration in the perfection of war plans the past eighteen months, or he is too ignorant for the leadership of the party he es says to represent. He ought to stop and consider that the war will be cither won or lost while Mr. Wilson is president. If he wants Germany to win this war, the kind of lingo accredited to him at Jefferson will help the kaiser along. The election of Mr. Morehead, in the face of his recent declarations, would be a spoke in the wheel of Ger man autocracy. For Senator F. M. Simmons, whom he seeks to displace, is considered the country over as the strong right arm of President Wilson in the sen?,tc I 'anch of the American Gc’.ci i. ient.
