THE STAMP ACT
The Historical Stamp Plays New
Role

lkthe government can raise
millions of dollars to meet the
deficit caused by the European
war by the sale of stamps; if the
government can run it's great
post office department by the sale
of stamps, mostly the one and
two cent kind; if the streetcar
companies and the five and ten
cent stores of Woolworth and
Kress can grow rich on nickles,
North Carolina can raise a suhi-
cient sum to stamp out tubercu-
losis in her borders by the sale
of Red Cross Christmas Seals.
The National Association for
the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis has placed on sale
in the United States one hundred
and fifteen million of these
stamps to be sold at a cent a
piece. This means that 1,500, :
600 will be raised to fight tuber-
culosis, in case all the stamps are
sold. North Carolina hopes to
sell two million Seals and there
by raise $20, 600 for the fight.
Winston-Salem now leads in
The Sale, having placed a hundred
thousand and give her order for
fifty thousandmore. A New Bern
lady sold seven thousand in one
day; a Hendersonville lady sold
three thousand in one afternoon,
while a lady in Southern Pines
sold a thousand in one morning
and drove to the Sanatorium in
her automobile for three thousand
more. The outlook for the larg-
est sale North Carolina has ever
had is bright and promising.
"Despise not the day Of little
things. " Buy your share of Red
Cross Christmas Seals now.

SOCIAL SERVICE MEETING
Plans for State Meeting on Social
Service for Next Month

The executive committee of the
North Carolina Conference for
Social Service met in President
Poe's office last night to formu-
late plans for the third annual
meeting of the Conference. Plans
were gotten under way to have
several speakers of national re-
putation address the Conference
this year. These names will be
given out as soon as the program
is more nearly completed. The
date of the meeting will be some
time during the latter part of
January.
= The matters of special import
ance to be considered will be the
child labor question, prison re-
form and moonlight schools in
North Carolina. The matter of
moonlight schools has been taken
up very successfully in Kentucky
and they will no doubt also prove
very successful in reducing North
Cardinals adult illiteracy.

Twenty Persons Killed II!

In a town in this state that
numbers about five thousand in
habitants there have been twenty
persons killed with tuberculosis
in the last twelve months. There
are approximately a hundred
other persons in this town who
have been manned on account of
the same disease and who will
probably die within the course of
a few months or a few years.
In all probability this procedure
has been going on for a number
of years and unless some chang
es are made it will continue, with
a strong probability of a larger
number of fatalities as the days
go by.
A very conservative estimate
would place the value of these
lives with the cost of the funer-
ais, the cost Of the sickness of
those that are manned and with
the loss of time, etc, incident
to said sickness, at $l60, 900. 90.
If this disease were to destroy
$3.50, 600. 90 worth of cattle in that
town, something would be done
about it and that quick. A
veterinary surgeon would be sent
there to examine all of the cattle,
to find all that were infected with
tuberculosis and to either kill
them or place them in an open
air sanatorium where they could
get well. At any rate, he would
segregate them from the well
cattle and stamp the disease out
of the town and that in short
order.
The Southern Railroad runs
through this town. If it were to
kill twenty people in a year and
main a hundred others, it would
cost the Southern Railroad some
where between a quarter and a
half million dollars in damages
assessed by a court and jury, and
the strong probabilities are that
the law---which meana the will
of the people, would require
them to take up the tracks and
run around the town.
Unfortunately, what is true of
this town is to a greater or less
extent true of every other town
town and community in our state.
Such a condition demands the
imperative attention of legisla-
tors, mayors and all serious mind
ed citizens. The rate at which
this death dealing disease is con-
suming our inhabitants is alarm
ing and calls for the cooperation
of all the people to stamp it out.

Price and Bonnelli

Price and Bonnelli's Greater
New York Minstrels played here
on last Wednesday night to one
of the largest houses a high
priced attraction has drawn at
the Peoples Theatre for some
time.
The company was a large one
and gave a good, clean, minstrel
show. The singing of the male
quartette was exceptionally good
and brought many encores. The
comedy work of the end men,
James Bonnelli and Joe Bennett
was exceptionally good.
1t was unqestionably the best
company that has played here
this season.

North Carolina To Have Part in
Government Health Exhibit at
Panama. Pacific Exposition

That North Carolina shall have
a part in the Government Health
Exhibit at the Panama-Paciic
Exposition next year at San
Francisco, is the request from
the Children's Bureau of the
United States Department of La
Dor. The State Board of Health
has been called on to contribute
its model village, a part of the
Boards Better Health Exhibit,
as a representative feature of its
better health work.
This village, in which the num-
Der of births in the homes is
shown by lighted windows and
the number of baby deaths by
the lights going out at the VIM
dows, was brought to the notice
of the Children's Bureau through
North Cardinals recent health
exhibit at the American Public
Health Association at Jackson
vile, Florida. The model, that
has not failed to attract national
attention, is original with the
State Board of Health, being the
exclusive work of that Board.

Timely Speech and Handles
Subject Very Forcibly
INTRODUCED BY w. LONG

Solicitor John II. Kerr, OF
Warrenton, addressed the largest
attendance of members at {
Board of Trade Meeting for some
months on last Monday night.
In a short but graceful introduc'
tory speech, Mr.. w. L. Ions
presented the orator of the even.
ing.
Mr.. Kerr did full justice to
Mr.. Longs tribute to his powers
of oratory. He handled his sub.
ject, The Opportunities of the
Young Man of the South" in
a forcible and original manner.
The solicitor impressed and
held his audience from the start.
He began with a eulogy of the
South and its history and dwelt
upon the reverence for the tradi-
tions of our forcfathers which
should be cherished by everyone.
Mr.. Kerr stated that the three
qualities necessary to leader
ship of men were honesty in all
things, to all people, including
ones own self, industry, lovable-
ness. The whole tenor of his
speech was plea for the lifting
up of the humdrum affairs of
business to a higher moral, al
truistic and christian level.
Mr.. Kerr spoke admiringly of
the rapid strides in industrial
progress made in this "city of a
few days. and stated that this
wonderful progress made in Roa-
noke Rapids was symbolic of the
progress being made along indus
trial, social and economical lines
all over the-s3gth. 4

Diet Of the Old Romans.

The Romans, no less than the
Greeks, proved their love of the pig
by the preference they showed for
sausages and black puddings For
the rest they esteemed hare, goat,
or a dormouse that had been fed on
chestnuts as rare dainties, and they
finished their feasts with fine array
Of pastry and fruit. Some there were
who praised the simple life, but we
may assume that Horace, when he de.
clared his hatred of persici apparatus,
was expressing no more than the re-
morse Of jaded palate.

Breezy Point

On last Thursday night the
amateur play, Breezy Point, was
given by the faculty of the
Roanoke Rapids Graded Schools
at the Peoples Theatre, to a
crowd nowhere near as large as
the entertainment deserved.
Every member of the Breezy
Point cast acquitted themselves
very creditably indeed, in fact,
more like professionals than
amateurs. This in spite of the
fact that the play-was not one to
bring out the histrionic abilities
of the cast to the fullest extent.
Although all did excellently,
perhaps special mention is due
to Miss Mabel Byrd, as Eleanor,
Miss Josephine Tillery, as the
French maid, Miss Minnie Hop
kins, as Mehitible Doolittle, and
Miss Sue Watkins, as Ashrael
Grant. The "Hardscratch
Twins, Misses Mary Towe and
Mary Matthews, also deserve
special mention as they played
their parts admirably and brought
a laugh from the audience at
every appearance.
The audience would unques-
tionably have been a much larger
one than it was, had the enter
tainment not followed so close
behind the minstrel which played
here the night before. AS it
was, the entertainment was
thoroughly enjoyed from start
to finish by those who saw it,
and we feel sure that a return
engagement by this excellent
company at some more propiti-
GUS time wouIG-meet with a much
larger patronage.

Britain's Answer To The Teu.
tons Hate

Chant OF HAZE Against England by
Ernst Lissauer, published by us some
weeks ago. The English poem is not
less vigorous and passionate than that
Of Lissauer, although it lacks in some
degree the metrical perfection of the
German poem.
Vandal and Hun-you matter not
Hate till your foul hearts shall rot!
We hold you safe by the Channel Gate,
We front you fair on the field of Fate
Our hate you shall feel as we deal it well
BY the flash of steel and the blasts of
hell!
Pay hate for hate, till the measure suf-
flee;
Bend YOU and break you nor reckon
the price
Blow for your blow, aye blood for
blood,
To drench you there in its cleansing
flood
Till the land runs red from valley to
crag
And crimsons the black in your bandit
flag!
Unto our hands the bolts are given,
Unto our hands the Vengeance of
Heaven!
And your hellish cunning and Fist of
Mail,
BY God and the Right" they shall not
prevail.
Full many hate has been our share
From those who would our laurels wear,
But none 80 causeless and none so foul
AS that longed -nursed in your sullen
soul!
We've given you freedom, shelter and
food,
An open mart for your stingy brood,
An equal chance, and an honest hand,
Beneath our flag in every land!
Needless the Nations went their way
Careless and happy day by day,
But You in treach rous silence spent
Your days and years on murder bent |!
Out of the Sea and out of the Sky
Murder below and murder on highl
And your bloated Captains hailed 'rhe
Day
When your murderous will should work
its way!
Science of Slaughter, and fell device,
And plots. that you deemed would sure
suffice
To sweep when you smote every
chance away
From yourvictim = path on your chosen
Day."
And then upon an unwary world
Your hosts in flooding numbers hurled
Aye give us yonr hate, and take our
hate,
AS we smash you back from the Chan
mel Gate!
Hear! at the Judgement Seat, our Vow
We hated you not, but we hate you
NOW!
NOW we hate with righteous hate,
BY the outraged Heart of the World we
hate!
tlate Vi rreeinen Tor drlven Slaves,
The hate of Honor's soul for Knaves;
Hate for your infamy, hate for your
Greed,
Hate for your murderous Prussian breed
Come! One for Three we yield, not
more!
Bury them, burn them and gather your
store
Of victims new from the Field of Fate
Where we beat you back by the Chan
Gatel
For Britain's Battle-Line shall stand
Firm footed in the ravaged land
Till France and Belgium both shall be
Redeemed to Peace and Liberty!
Shining and swift and savage our
Sword,
Swift to the call of the outraged Lord
See! where the clouds of His Vengeance
loom
Riven by lightnings flashing your Doom!
Crowd up your cursed legions there
On the Field of Fate where we front
you fair!
Your tyrant hosts shall be shattered
and crushed,
And your Chant of Hate in fear shall be
hushedl
By GEORGE FREDERIC VIETT.
