Success of the Victory Liberty
Loan, the fifth government war loan,
will depend largely on the savings of
the people of the nation.
To insure its success, we must save
NOW—to practice anew the • great
lessons of the war, thrift and economy.
Aside from the loss of respect for our-
•elves as a nation, every family will
toe unpleasantly affected, if the com
ing loan is not fully subscribed. Uncle
Sam’s war exchequer Is compelled to
•pend money to maintain the army of
occupation, to rehabilitate the wound
ed. to bring home the victors and to
carry out the program of reconstruc
tion.
This money is being borrowed from
the banks of the country, and Uncls
Sam is issuing short-term certificates
of Indebtedness in anticipation of th«
coming Libsrty Loan and of the fed
•ral Income taxes W the banks were
not speedily paid back, their resources
would be gone, and as they could make
loan a credit operations would b«
hampered and bnslnse stagnate
How about It? Will we finish our
Job—that of paying the war bills, as
immortal heroes finished theirs of
vanquishing the Hen? They were not
quitters even when called on to
make the supreme sacrifice Will we
he quitters, when there Is all to gain
and noth tag to lone?
A little saving now is aH tt will eoat
ead this saving will mean a stronger

It was only half roaapleted
AA day or two later, the writer
walk mg doom the street and overheard
• diecharged negro soldier boasting
U two er three companions that “a
man to Allendale” had offered him a
"pooltiou” at IlM a month and want
ed him to start work at once, and that
he (the negro) told him (the man in
Allendale > that he would let him know
about it later."
Three are only two of the many
inaiames that could be cited showing
the distressing condition that exists
among negro labor, and should be a
warring to those in authority that
• unless they promptly enforce the va
grancy laws worse conditions may be
expected later on. If these negroes
are not willing to work for individuals
at reasonable wages, make them do
public work for their “board and lodg
ing.” Give them their choice of work
ing for pay or working without it.
Every town has its advantages and
should make the most qf them.'Every
town is peculiarly fitted for some one
enterprise more than another, and as
soon as it is ascertaineti what would
be most conducive to the growth and
prosperity of the place, the citizens
should take hold of the matter and
push it for all there is in it. One
man cannot make a town. The news-
phper cannot do it. But one man
or a newspaper with the help of the
wide-awake men of the place all pull
ing together can make a wide differ
ence in a place. Every man who suc
ceeds in a town is a help to it. The
more money he makes if he spends
it, the better for the community. The
larger business he builds up, the more
he advertises, the more attention is
called to the town. A man cannot
build up an honorable business in a
town without helping the town. A
town cannot build up without helping
-the country. The interest of one is
the interest of all. The rivalry that
sometimes exists between towns in
the same county is short-sight policy.
V
A majority of the people of Barn
well were delighted some time ago
to see “No Parking Here" signs dis-
made to prevent the parking of ve
hicles on that narrow thoroughfare,
and collisions snd near-accidents oc
cur with alarming frequency. Soon
er or later a serious, accident will
happen. There is much truth in the
old axioms that “An ounce of preven
tion is worth a pound of cure” and
“There’s no use to lock the stable door
after the horse has been stolen.” •
Large Crowds Attend.
Large crowds, including a number
of visitors from neighboring towns,
attended the four showings of the U.
S. Government’s moving picture, “The
Price of Peace,” at the Woodland
Theatre Tuesday afternoon and night.
The picture is n wonderful production
and gives a very good' idea of the enor
mity of the task that Uncle Sam
tackled when he declared war on Ger
many.
Episcopalians Elect.

gregation of the Church of the Holy

Will Net Read Bible in Schools.
The Atlanta board of’edu<*atlon st a
rirrnt regular meeting revomed Its ac
tion which ordered the reading of the
IMhle and repeating the Lord’s prayer
in the public school* of the city. This
action was taken by the hoard after
liavlng heard read the address-of the
lute Senator Joseph K. Brown, war
governor of Georgia and the first j
[►resident of the Atlanta hoard of edu- '
cntlon, which was delivered in 1873, '
and In which the Georgia senator de- '
llvered an argument against enforcing
the us»e of the Bible in the schools.
Lawyer's Humor.
Mr. Hohenzollern says he prefers not
to think of his exit from Germany as
a “(light.” While we would like to
agree with William, we cannot help
thinking of a phrase that occurrs in
real estate leases. When a tenant is
thrown out for not paying his rent
or for abusing the premises the law
yers call It “an amicable action la
ejectment.”—Collier’s Weekly.

THE ESSEX STAYS NEW.
. i
The frame of the EssexJs as strong as a bridge girder.
Road strains do not affect it in the slightest; consequently, the Essex
is free from squeaks and rattles.
There is no weaving or twisting of the radiator. The Essex remains rigid
and firm under the hardest service. Every wearing part is adjustable as well
as being w'ell lubricated. The Essex retains its newness.
Just ask any of the tens of thousands who have ridden in the Essex and who
are so enthusiastic in their praise of it to describe how substantially and
quietly it rolls over even the roughest roads. .
How often motorists, particularly those with light weight care, have driven
miles out of their way to avoid a stretch of bad road, because of the torture to
themselves and to the car.
But the Essex is affected by no such abuse. Its spring suspension is un
usual and effective. Its construction is so solid that even the roughest cobble
stone pavements are passed over with an ease that has created the greatest
admiration.
Its friends declare the Easex has no equal in easy riding quality regardless
of the sise, weight or cost of the car.
When will you take your ride in the Essex?
Any dealer will show you how and why the Essex rides so easily, performs
so well and retains ita quiol and rigid qualities.
And you will see also a performance of acceleration, speed anil power that
la comparable only to the highest powered cootly cars.
