the good news kept coming. The

What are you going to do
now you've got it?" That's the
question we hear on all sides.
Next week we will have our
State Convention here in New
York city. Then definite plans
will be made for the future.
Personally | hope and believe
we will keep our organization in
tact for the present and work
together for three things: first,
for our Country grant we
may be able to do a worthy "bit"
in this time of great need. Sec
ond, to work for a Federal
Amendm ent hoping thus to save
you in Pennsylvania and sister
States from another long tire
some and expensive campaign.
Third to educate our women to
use this great power in the right
way. The eyes Of all the world
are on the women of New York.
We must not fail. Clubs will be
established, classes will be form
ed where we can be instructed
in the intricate game of politics
and where we can learn the
principles of good government
and good citizenship.
No, I'm not going to run for
Congress, neither do l expect to
get a job on the New York Po-
lice Force, but | do hope with
this new power and inspiration
to be a more companionable wife,
a more intelligent mother, a more
capable housekeeper and a bet
ter citizen than | have ever been

NORTH CAROLINA LEADS;
Cc-NENTS ON BILLY SUNDAY
(By Thos. j. Rickman.

For a long time there was an old
jog Of a saying that North Carolina
could be counted good-for nothing but
tar, pitch and turpentne, SO that we
as the people of the good old North
State were dubbed ".Tar-Heels.
Well, we have lived to see the time
when We excel in some other things.
We have a greater number OF fac
tories Of one kind and another than
any%Rt5aP~State in the union. Nor is
'fRis ali. for Tc9H~2Q~agr'cuIturaI
standpoint, We can proudly sayNm
this year of 1917, We e~xcelled all 9TH
err states in the union in the produc-
ton of. the good old sweet potato.
North Carolina is now famous for hav-
ing raised this year, more than nine
and a half million bushels of sweet
potatoes, a vastly greater quantity
than was raised in any other state 1
the forty-eight.
She fell behind many of the states
in the production of corn, wheat,
irish potatoes, b~Uck-wheat, "rye, pea
nuts, cotton, apples, peaches, horSes'
mules, hogs, sheep and cattle, but In
the wear 1918 We may climb higher on
the rounds of the ladder Of production.
We should be ready, always for the
coming of new things for surely they
never did come so thick and fast. the
old time things and ways have passed
away and gone, ever old time ways OF
religion.
The gospel as presented by Spur
ge0n. Moody and McGTeady is no long
err to be heard in the land. Mr.. Moody
a V we are now ready TO be made be-
1ieve anything if it is told US often
enough and .cOmically enough He
saws it must not be told US in the
solemn old style, but it must be !
brought to US in 'whOOp-a-doodle
fashion. We have a great and Won
derfuI n who is nov bringing things
to us in this fashion. He is now even
in Atlanta. He goes only to the great
and mighty centers of population and
wealth, so we need not look for him
among a feeble folk like Henderson !
vile and Asheville.
He not only says wonderful things.
but he says them in a style heretofore
unheard of. For instance, when he
was saving the wicked and degraded
CITY of New York. he took occasion to
boom the sale of Liberty bonds, which
all think was very c~Ommendable
After his rousing trail hitting sermon
and prayers for the hitters, he said,
NOW straighten up yourselves you
have prayed enough for this time. Get
down into your III socks and
drag UP the money for these Liberty
Of course the crowd laugh
71 and yelled till they could be heard
three blocks. 4 knew where the saw
banks are, they are down under
your clothes in the toe of your old
shoes, so fish it out and deposit"
In one of his prayers he exclaimed,
referring to Germany, go Lord, damn
country like that. Shall we pray to
this war? Gosh, no, we've got to
lse bulTAs." In his sermons, some
ines, he crouches and angles from
one side of the stand to the other,
INC screams that he dares the devil
