Everybody knows those two solid

so when they put more ol" their mon?

everybody can say, " why, that is just

Now, little Miss Moses. Having

she so dearly loved him, however,
such has been the case and as long
as this World stands. the incident
will be passed down to each succeed?
ing generation, lilblc history ins been
completed and nothing can be added
thereto but Lroiane History is being
made every day, and the past four
years more rapid than for any like
period in ages past. There are today
Innumerable Instand s of sacrifice
and devotion to a cause that you love,
and in so far as sacrifice Is concern?
ed, there are today in our own land
sacrifices being made by the mothers
of our country as well as those of our
allies, that is beyond monetary valua?
tion and can only be appreciated by
the mothers who have sent their sons,
their own llesh and blood into a for?
eign land in many instances to bleed
and die ami be buried possibly in an
unmarked grave, tliis is the supreme
sacrifice. Today as well a.s in the
days of Mary Magdalene, you can
and do lind men. or people who claim
to be men. making light or sport of
the sacrifices that are being made
by our people at this time, ami while
not by word or mouth, yet by actions,
discourage the sacrifices the mothers,
wives and children of our own as well
as those of our allies have made, by
not contributing to tin- cause in mon?
ey, to support and protect those who
have m tde the supreme sacrifice in
person for us.
As stated above, there are man)
i
sacrifices being made that will never
be known to any other than the one
making it. but at times individual
cases arise or come to light that are
Worthy Of notice and should be a
stimulation to the "SLACKER" and
when the word slacker is used, it is
meant "That human specimen thai
owes Iiis Nerv existence to the effort
of others and who wants all he can
get. giving nothing in return. He
wants protection without paying for
it and is afraid to go out and tight
himself and too low down to help pay
the expenses Of those that have man-,
hood and red blood in their veins and.
not afraid to fight for a just cause
and if needs be. make the' supreme
sucrince for those that expect to en?
joy the privilege h gained thereby
Without one purticle of sacrifice of
Lime, personal comforts or money.
Tin re lire other definitions for ?lack?
er that would not get by the censor.!
The individual case in mind of tin*
writer is that of a widow residing
in ihe Dunean mill village and work?
ing in the cloth room of that mill.
This lady has two c hildren in the '
Bruner Home here in Greenville t>>
which she has contributed regularly
110.00 per month, contributes liberal?
ly to every charitable or worthy
cause, does her own house-keeping
ami sewing ,and is a high toned Chris?
tian woman. She has until only re?
cently been receiving O weekly wage
of $7.2"? and out of this small amount
she has not only contributed to the
support of her orphan children, but
by sacrificing many of the necessities
?d* life, has been able to save enough
and has now applied for a LIBERTY
1 i< ?X1 > and in this way not only
shown her loyalty to her government
and devotion to its cause, but by her
act and her sacrifices, she is enabled |
to help possibly your boy or one of
your relatives who is In France or ex?
pects soon to be, and this in many
instances is more than you have done
for your own boy as you have not
purchased a LIBERTY BOND or a
WAR SAVING STAMP which are
the means b> which your boys and
our boys are fed and prepared. Now
if a poor widow is patriotic and loyal
enough to sacrifice for our country's
cause, any man who makes a salary i
two to seven times as large as this j
lady and is not willing to invest part
for the same purpose this lady did is
not even patriotic or loyal enough to
be called a Slacker and should be
classed as ami treated aa a Hun or
Barbarian.
Which side are you on. if on the
wrong side for Gods sake crawl over,
if on the right side, whoop it up and
give honor to whom honor is due so
that when History of these times arc
written, may those who have indeed
sneritied for their country's: cause, be
the ones to receive the Glory and
Honor therefor.
