Don't be a "slacker" that's what Judas

no, not by any manner of means.
The Southern Railway is making a
strenuous bid for a damage suit in
leaving the construction work on th>
new shed at the station here unlightod
at night. Anyway it was so Tuesday
night, and a real trap it was, with 1
train in the yard and passengers
alighting from the train and stumbling
over the piles of lumber and the big
dumps of dirt.

own son, brother, sweetheart, or it
goes to some fine fellow who is the
son. brother, or sweetheart of soma
one that has contributed the help that
goes to your son, brother, sweetheart
Tt's all the same. Face in line and
let's get the whole $15,">00 we are asked
to give in one day? Friday. It will he
so easy, if all will help.
President Wilson savs the war'* I
work must be done before the talk of
peace comes, and he is ri^ht. To fi^ht
a drawn battle now will leave to an
early future another and even greater
struprjrle between democracy and autocracy.
The world is too small to
hold both ideas. One or the other
must tro. Are you willinir to see democracy
jrn? IV| rather be dead.
'Mead as a door nail", than live to see
the burial of democracy. The world
would l<c a poor place in which to live
were it Germanized. What think you?
If every man, woman and child in
Union county would but tfive the poor
sum of eleven cents, it would raise th-;
total Stt.r.OO that Union county is asked
to contribute to the army Y. M. C. A.
work, and leave an even hundred
dollars balance on hand. Rut everybody
will not do a part, therefore
many will have to do vastly more. The
few will, in this, as in all other be
Vievolent movements, have the burden
to hear. Many bier hearted spirits will
give tens, twenties, fifties and hundreds.
It was ever thus, and will be
to the end of time. Hut, then, the burden-bearers
will be recompensed, for
in the final weighing: of human character,
they alone will prove to be worthy
of reward.
We hail with delight the fact that
President Wilson and the Washington
authorities are "going after" the profierman
propagandists, spies and
sowers of seditious thoughts against
this government. As a people we have
hern very lenient, too lenient with
these miserable spies and thugs. And
we feel that those who have been '
convicted arc treated with altogether ^
too much consideration. We do not ^
see the sense in treating them as .
though they were angels from heaven, j
They should, when convicted, be put ,
I
upon the public works and made to do
time, not housed in luxurious apartments
and fed upon the fat of the land, .j
IManv of these seditious betrayers of y
the country's confidence should be ^
lined up and shot. There is altogether
too much spying and treason
showing its head in this countrv.
o
IF EVERYBODY DOES HIS PART. 1
If everybody did his part in the affairs
of life, did it cheerfully and
without "fuss and feathers," what a
fine old would it would be, to be sure!
Hut there's the rub. There are many
"slackers" in all walks of life. The
army "slacker" is the man who comes
in for a thorough condemnation but
he is no more a culprit than is the
everyday good-for-nothing "slacker"
in the daily walks of life. The only
difference is that we have come to
tolerate him while we opepl?lr,<! *,<11
j uc<i on huu..i fitrv and
loudly1 condemn the army "slacker."
In the average church you find this
inglorious fellow. If the enterprises
of the church were slighted by all as
they ?ire by him, the shadows of
death would fall upon each and every
cause the church stands for. He gives
nothing in money; he absents himself
from Sunday School, prayer-meeting
and regular services of the church, and
feels no euilt. He. has noihimr in
say that is good for his church; he
often finds something to say of it that
is not good. He feels ihaf he is
serving1 Hod more acceptably gadding
around over the country in his automobile
on Sunday than he could serve
by attendance upon the church worship.
If all were like him every religious
institution would die, yet he
flatters himself that he is quite a
"good fellow." He is not honest, to
begin with. If he were, he would
cease to sail under false colors. He
would go before his church and ask
that his name be dropped from the
rolls. The churches would do themselves
and the cause of righteousness
no small good if they would cast out
these spiritual "slackers."
A miserly, narrow-minded skiunfiiiit
fastens himself on to the body
commercial in a community. lie makes
no investments save when he can
catch some poor devil who has to sell
at a great sacrifice; he is against all
increase of taxes, no matter what
the need; he does not believe in better
schools, better churches, better roads?
tact is no noes not oelieve in anything
that does not promise a speedy
addition to his store of simoleons. He
prospers through the public spirit of
his neighbors. If all were as he is,
the community would dry up and die.
There would he no enterprise. Such
men do not believe in "risking good
money." They are quite willing for
others to risk it; hut as for themselves,
they will have none of the risk. They
are commercial "slackers," and if they
had their deserts would he branded
with the infamy that is justly their
portion. !

You will hear him cry now: "I have

Don't believe the money will

nobody. He is a slacker that's what he
