LIBERTY BOND SALES
Although Kings Mountain
went'away over tho top at the
Liberty Loau meeting last week
she has been gradually going
.higher. We are not able to yet a
full itemized list of all the sub
scribeia yet but the- total will
aggregate about $105,000 with
considerably more thought to be
in light Our allotment is $79,
100, so we are nearly fifty per
: cent above already and stil go
ing We nnderntan 1 tbit there 1?
a deficit in the county's apDor
tionment of about $150,000 whi'-h
we will have to hull) raise, The
deficit comes from the' fact that
the allottment for the several
banks in the county do Dot make
a total of $600,000 which the
county as a whole is expected to
raise. But at this rate Kings
Mountain is over tho top wc
believe for we have subscribed
over one sixth of the total
allottment for tho wholo county.
If Shelby and the other parts of
the county come up to our stand
ard the job will be dono up to a
nicety. Let them come.

salve or tooth paste, every old
pewter toy or vessel of t ny sort.
The children will collect this
along with the fruit stones etc
Boys and girls let's doonr best

The Fighting Loan C? Unconditional Surrc'i-dt;r-
Germany's only Salvation.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is rapidly rising toward the top and us it
rises our armies are shortening the distance to Berlin. This ha ; very
appropriately been styled the lighting Loan". Ths. central powers
want to m ike it the "Peace Lojn." As the Am:ricju pjjp's aro so
unselfishly casting their gold into the coffer3 of the governtr jut t'u
kaiser is turning pale around the gilta and calling for an armistice.
Maxmil'a.i, the German chancellor, announces his willingness to ac
cept President Wilson's "Fourteen Peace Conditions", while the kai
ser wants to "offer the world peace". The kaiser can offer no peace.
He hes no peace. He can ask peace. But he need not ask until he is
willing to receive what is dished out to him at a council at which
he has no voice. The best settlement the kuiser can get now, or ever,
is to make an unconditional surrender, demobolize his army, evac
uate all conquered territory, throw up his hands and ask the mercy
of the allied council. Just how long this will be coming no man can
tell but it must be in sight. But the American people cannot afford
to let up nor let down but to throw" wood into the furnace and keep
our war machinery at white heat until the last German gun is
stacked and the last Hun is back upon his native soil. The Fourth
Liberty Loan is truly our fighting loan. It is the loan which will prob
ably finance the hottest and most successful fighting yet of the
whole war. It is the loan that will in all probability strike the death
blow to German militarism and autocratic rule. It may be the loan
that will unlock the shackles of millions of humanity who have suf
fered long under an autocratic heel and insure for all peoples now
and hereafter a decent world to live in. Let the Fourth Liberty Loan
go over and go higher above its quota than any previous loan re
gardless of the fact that it is a larger loan than any other. This is a
crucial moment in the history of the world; a moment upon which
the welfare of generations yet unborn depends. The American peo
ple can master the situation. They will master it.
We arc in recoipt of a splen
lift donation of S32 03 from the
era'Jed school children to be us

for hospitals in Pi ance.
