Yea, North Carolina ia alow: and
I*t> somehow, (he usually manages
to reach tha front fn tin* for the
crucial moment.
In February, 17T*. the people ef
/ Wilmington. N. a, were only eeren
years ahead ef the rest of the colon
ise; prehaps they should have aaen
their duty eooaer. Aad Incidental
ly, it is tha fault of none but our
selves that tha whole world does not
five doe credit to this wonderful,
open, armad resistance to . tha Infam
ous Stamp Act, aoron yearn ia ad
vance af tha Beaton Taa Party.
On tha 30* af May. 177*. tha peo
ple of Maddaaburg County, ia North
Carolina, ware only a year ahead of
the rest of tha country. Perhaps
they should have sat tha example
sooner.
Yes, North Carolina waa slow ia
the War Between tha States; she
weighed the proa aad cons deeply.
But somehow, after aha did secode,
North Carolinians wars always to
near tha front that the lint to fall
in pitched battle was a Nor* Caro
linian, Henry L. Wyatt, at Bethel;
so near tha front that after Gettys
burg, 80 per cent of North Carolina's
men were left on tha Hold of honor,
armny of them lying further wtthio
the enemy's Una than tha men of
any other Southern State.
So alow is Nor* Carolina that aha
could not avan be mads to surreader
until moat of the other States had
done so. One-four* of tha mtaksta
laid down at Appomattox wars In
th* hands ef Nor* Carolina soldiers
After a while came tha Spanieh
Americas War, and North Carolina
managed In her alow way to do a few
things. Lieutenant Richmond Pear
son Hobson and Lieutenant Victor
Blue might talk on the subject; and

Ivy, the first officer to fall la that'
war, might also hare something to
•ay
Only two weeks ego, tbo Bnt shot
Germany waa Arad, and, ac
cording to official report. It lent a
submarine down. That shot was Bred
by Jameo A. Goodwin, from eastern
North Carolina. Ho took time to
prepare alrwty and eareftally, for lost
that emergency, and so. at the psy
chological moment, he waa ready.
Yes, North Carolina may have been
slow to enlist in the present war; hat
the has made ap bar mind bow, aad
whan Tow day cam# it was found that
her sons had done hat duty; and if
Cod wills that the worst come to os
North Carolina man will be found
dead or alive where the fighting is
fiercest and the risks deadliest; and
North Carolina women Will he found

SERVING ONE’S COMMUNITY
(SasithAeld Herald.)
There la a great need for a larger
comunity service everywhere- The
exigencies of the present war situa
tion are going to bring the people
closer together and make them sea
the great value of co-operative work.
The people are going to be brought
*® ••• each others' needs in n broad
er end mere emphatic manner. They
era also going to be brought to see
their larger responsibility in the lift
of the community. They arc going
to see some of tbo things that need
to bo righted aad they an going to
sea that them things cannot he
righted unless they take part In It
They are going to me that the com
munity in which they live is going
to be no bettor than the individuals
make it
u ui»r« arc amusements of any
kind in the community that outfit not
to exist the people are going to learn
after a while that these things am
not going to be driven out unless
they take a pert They an going to
learn after a while that the news,
paper and the preacher an net going
to be able to regulate the community
life by themselves. Before these
things an done tha people must he
brought to realise that they have
just as big a part to play aa any eas
•Is*. If than an evils existing In
•ur midst tha folks must reettss that
they an going to continue to exist
until a majority of the right think
ing people A the community band
them selves together to put out these
things.
Some months ago a prominent dt
ixea of this town felt disposed to
criticise the movies. Then happen
ed to be something about the movies
that he did net like Just A that time,

Where Is the PlawT
a little relief from the
we submit to our reader* this morn
ing a little purls in 6narco which
seems to show that something can
be made ont of nothing:
A man once had seventy-five
cants and wanted $1. Re pawaed
his seventy-five cents for fifty cents
and then sold the pawn ticket for
fifty cents, thus getting his dollar.
What Is the Juggle in this figur
ing, if any? And if the man really
turned seventy-five cants Into a dol
lar, who lost the difference?— Vir

Tobacco smoko can sooth* a man
Wtth cares af life oppressed
When after worries 0? the day
He’ll smoko nt night and r*at;
To then snmrhow in clouds of smoke
Hia troubles fado away.
And glancing back he cannot see
Tho hardships of tbs day:
Then from a dark and unkind put
The bitter mom'rioe die,
A blesaed glimpse of happy days
Shines where the dream paths lie
And while a fellow puffs his pip#
Or stogy rich and brown,
The folks ns’s loved but sines baa
loet
Will com* and gather ’round;
And listening thorn in stilly dusk
He hears hia mother sing
The old, sweet songs of boyhood days
That taka away the sting;
Good fellows who long dues have
Propose one* more a drink
To dreams that died long yours ago—
Thoao days ho did not think.
In wreath* of smoke he sees again
Sweet pretty fetes smile,
Bright errs that shine, warm lip* that
poos
A man’s heart to beguile;
And while he smokes and smUling
dreams.

Of kiaaet ttolo one night la June,

A dear^dead dream of mlght-havo—

To men whose fond hopes die.
