The rivers of North Carolina have
a way of rising and sweeping every
thing before them.
The people of North Carolina are
given to rising in their might and
over-turning conditions they do not
like.
The csscading streams of the state
contain one hundred per cent of la
tent power.
Its people are one hundred per
cent courageous.
The broad, upheaved bosom of middle
North Carolina is veined with big,
bright rivers as with liquid silver.
Into the big rivers countless capll-
larry streams trickle along the CEN
trail plain or dash as swift water car
riers from the crystal fountains OF
the Blue Ridge on the western edge
of the great plateau. In seasons OF
freshet, sudden mountain torrents are
loosed into the streams. The VEIN
ing rivers swell to bursting; banks are
overhowed, miles of farm land Are in
Undated, railroad tracks and bridges
are swept away, towns are flooded,
homes foated off, and lives lost

carry off the surplus water. O for
the enlightened methods of ancient
Babylon and Assyria!
Time was, however, when the wild
rage of the rivers was, through Prov
idence, public benefit. Can it be
doubted that the turbulent temper
of Carolina streams saved the cause
of the American Revolution, dctermin-
ing the result of battles and cam
paigns by their propituous rise or
fall?
Remember how the swelling of the
Catawba between the Americans and
the heavy reinforcements of Lord
CORVALLIS saved from destruction the
handful of rifemen under Gen. Dan
iel Morgan after their victory at the
Cowpens over the ruthless Colonel
Tarleton.
Also, bear in mind that when Cen
eral Nathaniel Greene, being sepa-
rated from his army, reached Sails
bury beyond the Yadkin River, "fa.
tigued, hungry, penniless and alone" }"
it was no more the timely shelter,
food and financial aid given him by a
patriotic woman than it was the sud
den overfiowing of the ford behind
him that saved him from the hot pur-
suit of CORVALLIS and enabled him

no longer the king.
The first English birth in America
was that of Virginia Dare, on Roam
oke Island, off the North Carolina
coast, during the brief stay of one of
Raleigh's colonies. But, as mysteri-
ously as the rivers flush and fall, the
North Carolina colonists landed and
disappeared, the child was born and
was lost. The chance to found the
first permanent settlement was given
and passed by.
The explorers in Raleigh's frail ca
lavals, the first to approach this ia
vored coast, were greeted while far
at sea, two days sail from land, by the
delightful fragrance of the natural
flower garden that decked Cardinals
shores. On landing they found
themselves in a veritable paradise.
The earth was carpeted with bios
SONS, natural arbors were weighted
with thickly clustered grapes-later
known as the Scuppernong, the Isa-
bella and the Catawba to cultivators
of the vine, and myriads of birds made
vocal the forests, where 'orioles from
verdant Chesapeake" sustained a
clear cradle song amid the Wagne-
rian intricacies of a chorus of other
Carolina coast warblers. 1t appear
ed to the adventurers, as one wrote
back to England, "the goodliest soil
under heaven; the most pleasing ter
ritory in the world"
With lead like that straight from
natures hand, it would be strange if
North Carolina were other than it is.
an agricultural country with a rural
rather than an urban population, who
live 'contentedly beside their beautiful
rivers and successfully raise corn, cot
ton, peanuts, rice, and potatoes.

The Children's Home Society.


Don't you want to have just little
part in providing Christmas cheer and
happiness for the dozens of homeless,
orphan and helpless little ones, who
now fill our receiving home to over
fowing-and the hundreds of other
little orphan and homeless youngsters
coming under our care each year?
Of course the biggest thing you could
do, would be to take one or two OF
these little ones into your home, as
permanent Christmas gift. We have
three sets of twins, and just dozens
of other little ones, boys and girls
all of whom are anxiously awaiting
good homes and parents. Can't you
possibly take one or more into your
home?
Well, if you cannot take a child,
perhaps you can spare little money,
and oh! we are so greatly in need of
funds just now-really our financial
condition is serious. Listen; nickle
will buy a new milk bottle for one of
our babies, dime will buy quart Of
milk, a quarter will buy 4 good pair
of stockings, half dollar will buy
HeW IlDDOIlS lOI q Hall uOLeH gins, u
dollar will buy candy for our whole
crowd of kiddies, two dollars will
board baby for whole week, five
dollars will provide good home for
some poor orphan child, ten dollars
will provide a brace for Some little
cripple, twenty-five dollars will pro-
vide pension for some worthy little
widow and four or five little kiddies,
ETC., etc. You just cannot send too
little or too much to be of real help.
But if you cannot send any money
or want to send something beside
the money-we would just love to
have you send a package, or box or
barrel of Children's clothes, hats,
caps, stockings, handkerchiefs, under
wear, shoes, or canned goods, jellies,
preserves, staple provisions, meats,
vegetables, fruits or toys, dolls, etc.
Perhaps you can get your Sunday
school class, or church, or club, or
lodge, or society to help you do some
of these things for our little ones.
Pleading earnestly for home help
from you in behalf of these little or
phans right here at your door, and
wishing you a Merry Christmas, 7

Your servant and co-worker, !
