THE HOME NEWS
EDITED IN THE INTEREST OF McCRORY AND WOODRUFF COUNTY
VOLUME 2.
Last Word on Home
Guards and Rifle Club
It seems to me that men are
afraid that if we foin either of
these movements we will have to
go to war; there is no use of any
one being frightened about the
matter; joining these bodies will
not cause you to go to war or be
subject to military duty any
quicker than if you do not join.
The Home Guard has no connec
tion with the army in any way
and you will not be making your
self liable for military duty, but
will be making preparation to
protect your own home and loved
ones should the necessity arise.
I have been asked to do this
work by quite a number of those
who see the need of the move
ment, not that I am hunting a
job as I have all the thanky jobs
lllal UUC llict.ll r vw **^**v*xv>,
but if you desire to join and will
tell me so, I will add your name
to the list, and then when same
is complete those who are on it
can meet, elect their own officers
and carry it on to suit themselves.
I will not be around to beg you
to join. You will have to tell me
to enroll your name as a member.
Relative to the Rifle Club: It
is on the same lines as the Home
Guard, with this difference: The
Government will furnish one
rifle and 120 rounds of ammuni
tion to every five members for
the sole purpose of promoting
rifle and revolver practice. Like
wise, it does not cause yoi* to go
to war or be subject to duty any
quicker by joining this club. A
list of those who wish to become
members is being made up, and
one can belong to both or ei£her
the Home Guards or Rifle Club.
If you believe in prearedness;
if you believe in concerted effort
to protect your home and loved
ones, have your name placed on
these lists and stand ready to do
all you can to make them a suc
cess.
mis is tne last appeal, as it is
not well that we should impose
upon our paper too much. It lias
been liberal with its space, which
is what it has to sell, and has
been glad to donate same to the
cause. It’s up to you.
Yours for the Home,
C. B. Cook.
