Fourth of July morale and war notes in Greensboro
The column urges patriotism on the Fourth of July while noting American war progress in Italy and home fronts. It reports small daily costs for interned German enemies, calls out local action against Bell telephone rate hikes in Greensboro, cautions about deadly auto crashes near railroad crossings, and mentions the Weaver-Britt race as a noiseless contest. It also covers influenza halting German advances, war stamp drives in Greensboro and High Point, and a fatal Reidsville to Greensboro accident where four people died at a crossing.
