Mr. Ferguson's Address
Young Soldiers of 'the American
Army i
I congratulate you on your good
fortune in being within the age limit,
so that it was possible that you could
be selected to protect the sacred
rights and honor of your country; to
defend the lives, homes and liberties
of your countrymen. We who are so
unfortunate as to be either too old or
too young to share your great and
glorious privilege congratulate our
selves that we have such a splendid
body of young manhood as you and
as those gallant boys who !iave gone
before, and those who shall soon fol
low in your footsteps to represent
Old Haywood" in this the gre;itC9t
of wars.
You have, and you should have,
more enthusiasm and a greater in
centive to fight, and if necessary to
die, than the flower of the English
and French nobility when they start
ed on the first crusade to capture the
sepulchre of Christ from the hands of
the infidel. They were fighting and
sacrificing their lives for a most
worthy ideal You are to Aght for a
stern reality. .
If you are victorious you will per
petuate civilization and the freedom
of mankind. Defeat mean barbar
ism and slavery. Yon will meet . foe
more cruel, barbarous and . depraved
than the infidel who defiled the-vacant
grave of oar Lord and Hi holy city
more than 700 year ago. I shall not
nsult you by advising and admonish
ing you to do your duty. Ths most of
you are the descendants of the 'men
who won the battles of King's Moun
tain and Guilford Court House, and I
wish to say, by way of parenthesis, to
this audience, some of whom arc not
familiar with the genealogy of pari
people, that there is more Revolu
tionary stock in Western North Caro-.
lina, according to population, than in.
any other section in the Union. Your j
fathers and grandfathers, for four J
years, louowaa ie ana rfscaava on i
the bloody fields, of Virginia, and Ij
know that tne same quality oi
.bravery and. undying love of country
burns in your hearts with equal in
tensity as- it id in that of your aires.
With such ancestors we have right
to .expect that your heroic deed on
the battle fields of France will reflect
honor ea year state and nation and
bring everlasting fame to yourselves.
You and your American comrades, the
J V
bravest 'of the brave, are destined to
fight, not only on the battlefields of
France and Belgium, but you will
cross the River Rhine, and will fight
and win battles on the soil of the Ger
man Empire; and will, foot by- feot
and mile by mile, drive back the ac
cursed Hun until you shall march
through the streets of Berlin to the
tune of Dixie, under the Stars and
Stripes, that most glorious and most
revered emblem in the world today.
and that you will hurl that imperso
nation of cruelty, savagery and mur
der from his unhallowed throne, and
cast him and his and all those who
are responsible for the rivers of blood
and tears which now drench the fair
soil of France, Belgium and Italy,
not only into outer darkness where
there the fire and brimstone burn
through all eternity.
We bid you Godspeed and want you
to realize that every loyal man and
woman in America is praying and
will continue to pray that you and
your millions of comrades will return
home to your loved ones after you
have won a complete victory for your
country and for all humanity.
THE LAST CALL TO DUTY
(By Jesse Daniel Boone) .
This week will tell the story of who will win the war,
And it will also tell the world the fort of folks we are.
We must lend piles of money, now, to see the program through;
And it must come from millions and not from just a few.
The U-boats thought to scare us by coming to our shores .
To sink our ships and treasure by dozens and by scores,
But we are u naff righted and with determined zeal
We'll put the war loan over, or any other deal.
Three times we heard and heeded Liberty Loan alarms
And twice responded nobly to the Red Cross call to arms;
And when the War Y. M. C. A. sent out a ringing cry
We filled its coffers full of gold and never heaved a sigh.
A long pull, a strong pull, from every mother's son,
. And we will have War Savings week most gloriously won;
Let no one lag or falter until we reach the goal;
. Until world liberty shall come for cv'ry human soul.
The cause to which we lend, today, is great and grand and just,
And Uncle Sam, of all this world, is one whom we can trust;
So let us lend quite freely before this week shall end
And help our fighting armies the cause of right defend..
If you can get five dollars for cv'ry four you save.
Do yon not think twill save you from a financial grave?
That is the proposition to men, and children, too;
Who wish to aid our armies and prove themselves true blue.
When this old year ahU roll away, so full of blood and tears,
. May all forebodings also pass, and leave the world no fears
Of Germans -or of Kaisers, or things which they have done;
May we forget the submarine, the air raid and the Hun.
But if we are to reach this state each one must do his share
In camp, or trench, or here at home, in rushing to prepare;
For those we face are daring men and care not how they fight;
They try each day to show as that might is only right.
But all down through the ages we see God's mighty hand
Protecting those whose cause is just, as He did Gideon's Band;
So we have foil assurance, now, that .we must sorely win;
As sorely aa God's goodness will triumph over sin.

PRESS ASS'N. MEETS JULY 25
(Asheville Citizen)
The North Carolina Press Associa
tion, which holds its annual session in
Asheville on July 24 and 25, has an
nounced the following program for
the two days' session, copy of
which has just been sent by J. B.
SherrilL the secretary of the asso
ciation, to the board of trade.
As usual, the association this year
will have the privilege of listening
to the address of some speaker of na
tional reputation, but as yet the name
of the speaker and his address has not
been decided upon. Other speakers
and" other features of interest will he
added to the following program,
which is sent out only as advance in
foioatioa. "Legal Advertising," by 1. L.
Rev. George J. Gongaware, of
Charleston, S. C, who is chairman of
the National Lutheran Committee for
the welfare of soldiers and sailors,
was in town Saturday and Sunday
and part of Monday. His object was
to look over the U. S. Hospital here
which will soon have from 800 to
1,000 patients and to arrange to send
a pastor here to minister to the in
stitution. After seeing Major Davis
and his staff it is very sure that this
pastorate will be established.
Other pastors will be provided by
his organization for Kenilworth Inrt
and Azalea and also Hot Springs if
that place is made a hospital, which
seems likely. Mr. Gongaware seemed
highly pleased with what he saw-here
and will likely return again in a short
time.
