Free America has not enjoyed
the liberties that our true and faith¬
ful American representatives and
citizens have earnestly desired that
it should, and those responsible is
that element of our population who
came from the centers of Europe to
find in America a country better
even than they had expected, but
who were deeply instilled with the
principles of their home life and
egotistic governmental ideas that
unrelentingly (though often un¬
consciously) spread the spirit of
an autocracy rotten to the core with
deception and trickery, and loudly
proclaim the righteousness of their
deeds. Thus has been spread as
they traveled at liberty to and fro
over this land which your fore¬
fathers handed you made FREE
and untainted by blood-soaked
battlefields, and, like deadly disease
germs this enemy spirit has infest¬
ed the nation with undemocratic
and destructive thought.
Furthermore, the German gov¬
ernment has persistently kept up
her work of spreading her faith
throughout the nation that Amer¬
ica, like Russia, might absorb a
superabundance of such vile and
iniquitous thought that our democ¬
racy might totter and fall when
Germany chose to “pull the string”
through her well organized system
of intrigue. If you entertain any
of this thought dispel it from your
mind now and supplant it with the
wholesome essence of pure democ¬
racy that shall live forever,
-America is a democracy. As
a true American you would accept
nothing for your democracy, and
our only reason for not standing
more determined behind our gov¬
ernment is because we are insuffi¬
ciently informed of conditions ex¬
isting under the rule of a monarch,
and we realize not the seriousness
of this titanic struggle of the old
monarchical system against the
new democratic system which
stands for “Peace on earth, good
will toward man 1”
Furthermore, we must not per¬
mit our admiration of the dollar
to obstruct the path of duty, but
since we have so “freely received”
for the sake of future generations
let us freely give. Let us be satis¬
fied with nothing less than gaining
our liberty from thisEuropean mon¬
ster who has attacked us; this in¬
carnate fiend whose purpose is to
crush the just and the ineek that he
may possess the earth for the grati¬
fication of his own hellish ambition
and the maintenance of his indo¬
mitable pride.
Support yourself by supporting
your government, for without pub¬
lic support your LIBERTY may
totter and fall and your doom will
be sealed—all your efforts then will
be too late, and you will have to
abide by the fetters and chains that
bind you.
Awaken, we beg you, to a com¬
plete knowledge of your duty as an
American citizen, and lend your
money, your influence, your words,
your deeds, your time and your
brains to the government which
has borne and nurtured you
throughout the years of your ex¬
istence, just as you would stand by
the mother who gave you birth,
nursed you, protected you, and
reared you to manhood.
Let us help the American forces
at the front in every conceivable
way. They are loyal sons of men
determined that they shall lack for
nothing in the way of equipment,
and the more readily and liberally
we respond to the calls of the gov¬
ernment, the better will be the
government prepared to make safe
and comfortable the lives of these
noble sons.
Your God-given right—Freedom
—is at stake. The kaiser means to
cast democracy from the earth. To
save it you must buy a liberty bond
Mr. Charley Sears, who has been
very sick in Atlanta, has sufficient¬
ly recovered to be at home, and is
improving rapidly.
Mr. Clinton Faulkner spent a
few days at home since our last
issue.
Col. R. P. Jackson was in town
Monday and while here informed
us he was a candidate for congress.
He announces in another column
that he will address the people of
White county in the court-house at
noon Monday. Since there was
previously arranged a LibertyBond
speaker for that hour one of the
speakers will likely withdraw, or
they may divide time. Anyhow,
Monday will be the day for you to
come to town, and whatever you
do hear the speech on liberty bonds
for we most earnestly assure you
we are miserably in error and ig¬
norance of the height and depth,
length and breadth of the funda¬
mental causes of this war and the
importance of a democratic victory
Mr. Jackson and Mr. Bell were
both reared in White county, and
it is for the people to say in whose
hands they prefer to place their
national interests in the legislative
halls in Washington.
Geo. L. Stovall, who travels in
Hall county with a medicine wagon
has arranged to be in Cleveland
a few days next week. His line of
medicines are claimed to be very
satisfactory to his patrons.
The host of friends of Mr. and
Mrs. J. W. House sympathize with
them in the loss of their child who
died a few days ago from whoop
ingcough.
Herbert Fletcher and Lance
Hharris, from somewhere north of
Helen, were in town Monday, and
while here were taken in custody
by Marshal Trotter on |a charge of
disorderly conduct. Mayor Norton
fined the former #23.50 and the
latter $13.50 including cost.
City court convened Monday
with Judge Mahaffie, of Jefferson,
presiding. Two civil cases were
tried and no criminal,as all persons
to be tried at this term entered
pleas os guilt except in the Church
case which was nol prost. It will
be remembered that ut Loudsville
campmeeting last year whiskey was
found in a buggy belonging to a
Mr. Church of Habersham county.
The court proceeded to the trial of
confiscation of the property, but it
was proven that the man in whose
buggy the whiskey was found did
not know it was there, as a lady
had placed it there to take to a sick
lady at the campground without
Mr. Church’s knowledge. The
jury returned a verdict of not guil¬
ty and the Judge nol prost the
criminal case in connection with
this case.
When you buy a liberty bond
you are saving the freedom of the
nation for your fellowman who is
unable to buy one—that is democ¬
racy.
Messrs. Earl Hall, George Dav¬
idson, Ray Miller accompanied
Frank Adams to Atlanta Sunday,
where they found something for
their hands to do.
The Liberty Loan committees of
each district have been instructed
to assemble as many persons as pos¬
sible Saturday evening and devote
the hour to lighting fires, musie,
oration and reading the names of
those in service and Liberty Loan
Appeal. This shall be designated
Camp Fire night. It will be a
meeting of neighbor with neighbor
in the interest of a common cause.
