X;tif rnDrr Curonitir Northeast Publishing Co. 1016AW. II C T. J. BETTS, EDITOR Entered April 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Burgaw, N. C, as second class matter. Act of Congress. March 1897. Subscription - $1.50 the Year Parable 1b A'dvaae. Now He's is Jail One J. S. Bowers, a merchant of Hampstead, is now languish ing in the New Hanover county jail because he saw fit to criti cise and be little the Americin government because of its parti cipation in the present war. Ac cording to testimony produced at a hearing Monday in Wilmington Bowers has been very rank in his denunciation of president Wilson and the government in general. As a result he is bound over to the next term 6f Federal court, and because of his failure to provide a bond of $500, he will spend the time in jail. This only goes to show that it is un wise for one to let his mouth go off half cocked at a time like this. It matters not what an in dividual may think of the whys and wherefores of our entering ; the war, the safer plan is to keep mum. There are many loyal Americans in every commuuity who will not stand for vile sland- . era being heaped upon our lead ers by disloyal pro-German slack ers. We glory in the spunk of the Hampstead citizens we are glad that their patriotism is such as to call 4 halt wh'en a man gets too free with his tongue. Free . speech is one thing and vitupera tion is another. , How About Yourself ? Have you bought your allot ment of Thrift Stamps? If not, your Uncle Sam is now calling on you to fall in line. Advices received here at the local post office are to the effect that Pen der county is not coming up to what is expected of her in this matter and greater effort is urg ed. While the department ap preciates fully what has been done in the purchase of Thrift Stamps, yet it is desired to im press us with the urgent necessity of doing our very best It is point ed out that there is no time to lose that the money is needed right now that our troops in France must be properly cared for and the money secured in this way goes for that purpose. Let it be remembered that every cent invested in these stamps bears interest, and that as a mat ter of fact, the government pays you for performing a patriotic service that of loaning your money to Uncle Sam. Pender Not In It From an official report on the sale of bonds of the Third Liber ty Loan in the State of North Carolina, which report is com piled from data received up to April 13th, we note that Pender county is not represented as hav ing bought any of the bonds. Sixty-seven counties in the State have bought bonds ranging from $600 to $500,000. Something ought to be done in this matter Pender county ought by all means to be represented in the next official report. While many of us ara buying Thrift and War Savings Stamps, the fact remains that many have not done any thing, and if the freedom of America means anything to such as have been negligent, it - be hooves them at this time to in vest part of their savings in the Third Liberty Loan. .. I" M ' 3! A. -1 !t 1.1 f rom news uispaicncs u wvuiu seem that Wilmington not' only will build concrete ships, but that her - chances for building large steel ships seem unusually bright at thiB time. It Is note worthy, too, that steel ship con struction, which is practically an assured fact, comes to Wilmicg ton not because of any political assistance, bat simply because she has been able to show the shipping board that she has the proper organization and financial backing to merit such ! recogni tion. In this connection, it would be interesting to know to just what extent Wilmington would have shared in the exten sion of the government's - war program had she -had the same "political assistants and pull" that other more favored cities seem to have had. Just at this time the German cut-throats have made slight ad vances against the British posi tions on the western battle front But this is no more than could be expected. Any sane -man 1 s bound to see that with such an armv as Germany has. she is bound to make some gains. But there is no more chance of Ger many winning a decisive, victory on the western front than there is of this editor riding an aero plane to the moon and back on the fourth of July. . Secretary Baker of the War Department has just returned to America after a six-weeks visit to Europe. While he has" made no disclosures of information secured while on his trip, he seems to be in high spirits and is entirely confident as to the final outcome of the gigantic struggle the world is now engaged in. He realizes, as does eyery other sane man. that the coat will ha trreat. bht it is up to America taBathebloe mejqrhff ireulifc Vto price as trance, rcngiaha ana Italy have done and are doing.

Therefore it behooves us all to watch carefully the movements of any suspect Traveling strang ers who come in many guises should - be watched. 'The old proposition to presume a man innocent Until proven guilty should be ' reversed, : and every suspect should ,. be.:: carefully watched.'- And among our own people there are many loud mouthed, blatant, half-witted fools shooting off their , trumpets about the war and saying things they should not say. Every. loyal citizen., when he hears a : mouth going off half-cocked, uo matter bow sorry the white man, should report him and see that he U properly handled. In this state the Department of Justice agents receive hun dreds of letters! from different sections telling what certain men have said, These department of ficials investigate, often'! make arrests, and perhaps a greater watch will be placed over them. The information ; conveyed in the dispatches this week telling where a negro minister in Missis sippi had been attempting to in duce negroes to refuse to respond to the draft showed that German money had been used. The ne gro preacher, until a short . time ago obscure, had built a ten thou sand dollar church and a twenty five thousand dollar., home for himself. Perhaps he was using money furnished by the German government for other things for his own use, but it shows con clusively that German money is being used. Every man should have his ear. to the ground, and when he sees anything or hears anything that looks or sounds pro-German he should immediate ly report it to the Department of in process of digestion. you want It will help your digestion. kwflT-SlttRlttil "Hp LEMP Manufacturers ST.
