“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.

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

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 . , . ^

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.
You’re bilious, sluggish, constipated and
believe you need vile, dangerous calomel
to start your liver and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your drug

and take a spoonful tonight. If it
doesn't start your liver and straighten you
right up better than calomel and without
griping or making you sick I want you to
go back to the store and get your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseated.

MR. 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. Of’ course this
is not coiug to happen. The
