QUIET ELECTION

Richmond, Va, Nov. 6.-Lack-

RED CROSS
| CONVENTION

This afternoon at two o'clock,
IN the Red Cross rooms, over the
Scotland Neck Bank, hurried
call meeting for every woman in
town, who takes the least interest
IN Red Cross work, to be present
to hear the report Of the two lady
delegates, Mesdames G.. W. AL
bertson and Reba Shields, who
represented Scotland Neck at the
state convention in Raleigh last
week.
The work of the Red Cross is so
extensive, and the demands for
hell so immense that it would be
impossible to begin to report all
that was said and done during the
two days Of the state convention,
but it is possible to impress upon
every reader that there are none,
| not one, in America who are re
leased from an obligation to do
their part for the cause Of hu-
! manity and suffering.
| Whether it be an old man, mid
!, die age or young, even the boy,
and same applies to the women
and girls, there is something that
each can, and must do, nor is it a
question whether you believe in
!! the war or not, the men Of Ameri-
ca are needing and the people of
the most Christian land must sup
ply that need.
The following addressed the
convention, all in the same insis-
tent spirit Of work and sacrifice
by the men, women and children
Of America, and one could not lis
ten to the things that had beer
done, were being done daily, and
must be done with even greater
force without imbibing some OF
the spirit which emanated Flor
ence Nightingale and other pion
eers in the work when it was fa1
harder to do than it is today.
DR.. Francis B. Boyer presided
at the opening session on Thurs
! day, when DR.. Guy E. Snavel,
spoke upon the need for develop
ment Of the southern organiza
tions, emphasizing the fact tha
the Red Cross had grown marvel
ously, up to a present membership
of five millions, which must b
doubled by January 1918
The ideal chapter said DR.
Snavely consists Of a chairman
who should be a business man
the vice-president should be
woman, as we'll as the recOrdln.
! and corresponding secretaries
: while the treasurer should be
banker.
The afternoon session was ad
dressed by Mrs. James G. Blaine
Jr., Of Washington and Mr.. VIM
Ford Upson, of Charlotte, and tn
evening again by DR.. Snavel..
and DR.. Boyer.

the Tijuana Jockey club, hasn't
eliminated the boxing game from his
makeup entirely and is out with the
announcement that the Mexican city

fights. One probably will be between
Benny Leonard, lightweight cham
pion and some worthy foe, and the
other he hopes will bring Jess Will

the winner of the Carl Norris Fred

closed a contract for Carl Morris in
the event Morris defeats Fulton.
How will you get Willad? don't

'Tll bid SO high for the match he
can't say no without announcing his
retirement frem the ring. There is
plenty of money in Tijuana, and l
can afford to bid high" said
