"OVER THE TOP"
FOR POLK COUNTY.
Full Quota Can be Reached if
the Efficient Work is
Kept Up.
POLK COUNTY CAN BE
100 PER CENT COUNTY.
Some big things have been accom
plished in old Polk this last week with
the Third Liberty Loan. Tryon and
Saluda have gone "Over the Top,"
and Columbus, - Green's Creek and
White Oak townships . are coming
along nicely, and with the proper ef
fort can easily raise their apportion,
ment, and make Polk county a 100
per cent county. ; - ,
Last Friday, j Chairman Little,
Lieut. Copeland and B. F. Copeland,
attended a meeting at Fox Mountain

lowed by a short talk by B. F. Cope
land, Lient. Copeland, W. F.
Little and A. F. Corbin in the
order named. It was soon evi-,
dent that the crowd was in harmony
with the speakers, and results showd
the same. Nine Liberty Bonds were
bought. The most telling thing of
all was in the purchase of a Liberty
Bond by the Fox Mountain - school:
This is a step in the, right direction,
arid should be duplicated by every
school in Polk county. In the future
it will be a source of great pride to
all who are now students of 'that
: school to be able to say that their
school purchased a Liberty Bond.
Frjday night at Columbus, even
greater results were accomplished,
Liberty Bonds to the amount of $1850
were contracted J for. The High
School building was filled. ad alks
made by Dr. M. L. Taft; Lient. Cope
land and W. F. Little. tjoiumbut .
fortunate in having had so many fine
talks during the past week, and there
is but small doubt about that town
ship filling its quota.
Saluda filled her apportionment
last week, and the Honor Flag has
been ordered for that township. Like
Tryon, Saluda is iiot . satisfied with
what she has done, but is working for
a star in her flag,r and , to those whc
know of the kind I of material of
which the citizenship of that hustling
little city is composed, there is but lit
tle doubt of her failing to double the
quota and win her star. We are
banking on Saluda doing it.
A county meeting has been called
for Mill Spring for next Sunday
morning at 11 o'clock. Lieut. Cope
land alone: with several other local
ipeakers will be present and addresr
ttirt. crovd. 1
In the afternoon there will be e
meeting at Greens Creek township
at Greens Creek church. The list of
speakers is not yet: filled, but rest as
sured that there Will be plenty of
them there, and an interesting time is
lookd for. This meeting has been ar
ranged by Mrs. Hester, chairman of
& the woman's -division.
" While Polk county has not been fa
vored with talks by speakers of re
nown, imported like our sister coun
ties; yet we are more than holding
our own, and have accomplished a
great deal more than have some
counties that have been more fortun
ate in securing orators than Polk.
Chairman Little is on the job, as is
Poik county is going "Over the Top."

Fox Mountain school closed Friday,
morning last, witn a most spienaia
lttle patriotic entertainment, then a
bountiful dinner (of which we were
sorry the speakers didn't get there in
time to enjoy with us) thence a grand
ubilee rally, on. the Liberty Loan.
Messrs. Copeland, Copeland and Lit
tle delivered most excellent talks on
the Liberty Loan. Mr. J. B. Cope-
and. of the U . S. Navy, related some
of his experiences in that branch of
the service, also advised the younger
boys under twenty-one, not to enlist
in the army, but explained how each
one could fight at home just as
much as at the front, by buying
Thrift Stamps, Liberty Bonds, etc.
The result was nine Liberty Bonds
sold.
Rah. rah, for Messrs. Frank in
wards and Johny Dalton, who each
shouldered a Liberty Bond and are
both farmer boys. See, they are do
ing double duty to help win the war.
How many more under twenty-one
will do likewise and own a govern
ment bond ? There is no safer in
vestment.
Let our farming become a consecra-
tion, if necessary a saennce, similar
to the sacrifice of those who face the
fire of the enemy. God himself,
working through the American iar

the front, also tne nungry cniiaren oi

Tryon First Town in ail Western

HONOR FLAG DEDICATED.
A large crowd gathered at the
band stand near the railroad tracks
Sunday at 12:30, to see the Honor
Flag of Tryon dedicated. This flag
is one given by the United States to -the
township filling its - subscription
quota for the Third Liberty Loan.
Doubtless our readers may have seen ,
reports from several towns in Wes
tern North Carolina, claiming they
had filled their quota in two or three
days, or at least in a very short time.
Little Tryon, true to her reputation,
never crows until she has accomplish
sd her task, then she crows loud
mough to be heard all through the
Blue Ridge mountains. In this case
she has a right to be proud, for she
is the first township in Western
North Carolina to actually subscribe
uid pay her quota. Chairman little'
las steadfastly refused to eive out -
ny figures or make any claims until "
he nrst payment was actually made.

SO MAN GREATER THAN THE
' LAWS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
Thse were the burning words used
y Judge Cline last Friday, in sen
encing David Lawter, of Coopers
Uap to thirty days in the county jail,
or failure to obey the compulsory
chool law. Lawter was brought be
'ore the Judge, and asked, how many
:hildren he had. "Four," said he.
'What are their ages," asked the
fudge. "Nine, seven, four and one
ears old," was the reply. "Can
:ither read or write?" was the next
luestion. "Yes, the two older ones
an read, write and spell," came the
1 reply.
"Have they, ever attended
ichool?"the Judge wanted to know.
'No,'! said Lawter. "Why?" "Be
cause the Bible teaches me that I am
:he one to teach my children, and I
thought I could do it better at home
than it could be done in the school
room." Judge Cline after reasoning
with Lawter asked him if he could
not go home and start his children to
3chool. "If you can show me I
3ught to," said he. Judge Cline then
J proceeded to "read the riot act" to
Lawter, and in such a. manner that
Uome resoect for it the remainder of
his life. Judce Cline ordered the
prisoner taken to jail for thirty days.
1 and at that time he should be liberat-
I ed for one week, b.ut when that time
was up he must be returned to jail,
and this proceedure to be kept up un
til it was remanded. At this pros
pect staring him in the face, Lavter
swooned, and remained in this condi
tion for some time. When he par-
tially vered thc J ordered
him taken to jail until Monday morn-
mg, wnen ne would again taiK tne
matter over with the prisoner. On
the way to jail Lawter expressed his
willingness to start the children to
school.
Said Judge Cline: "I felt a pity
for -this man and would havebeen
lenient with him, but I will not allow
any man to set himself up greater
than the laws of North Carolina.w
Good sentiment, Judge, and the ma
jority of the people are with you.
