Local U. S. Marine In Santa
Domingo.
Harry Byrd, son of Mace Byrd,
sf McCrory, is with the expedi
tionary force of United States
marines recently rushed to Santo
Domingo on board the U. S. S.
Salem, for the protection of the
American legation there during
the current revolt against Presi
dent Jimines.
When insurrection breaks out
anywhere to the south of Key
West or north of Venezula, the
United States marines are always
first on the spot. Preparedness
is the motto of the marine—
“soldier and sailor, too”—always
prepared for service in any cli
mate—always prepared to move
at a moment’s notice without
previous warning, and always
prepared to efficiently hold the
situation well in hand.
^oung Byrd enlisted in the
United States marine corps at its
Memphis, Tenn., recruiting sta
tion on June 12, 1914.

From The People.
Mr. Editor:
This may be a surprise to
you, but I, as one of the mothers
of McCrory, want to appeal to
mothers and fathers having little
boys and girls large enough to
go to school to look after those
children. See what they do and
where they go. School is out,
and the children are out too, on
the streets, in the stores fighting
can’t send a child to the post
office or drug store but they are
detained no matter how much of
a hurry they are in, mail torn
open, bundles thrown away, hit
and cladded, or are cut with a
knife. If its a girl, some man
wants to kiss her. Some stores
one especially, the clerks try the
: kissing game, and this is very
disgusting and to say the least
is an insult. I say to Mr. Clerk,
| keep your hands off if you want
! to draw customers for your em
! ployer.
I plead with fathers and moth
I ers or anyone having control of
children to look after them, see
| and know where they are and
what they do. Keep them home,
let them get acquainted with
their parents and home surround
ings. Take the knives away
from the boys, and let us raise
our children to a higher moral
platform and as citizens of a no
ble little town, see if we can’t
| have more morality and more
Christianity among our yuuug
folk. God grant we may all take
hold and throw the life lines over
our young folks as well as our
children, and may we draw each
one nearer the safe side where
they will find safe anchorage.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Josie Fakes.
Lost: Cameo brooch with safe
