SPEEDWELL,

Hon. George Sutton and the
writer went to Barkers Creek Sun
day to aid the good people of. Bark
ers Creek in raising their quota for
the Red Cross. The people gave us
a royal reception and almost breath
less attention, while we tried, to ex-
plain the scope of the Red Cross
work. At the close of the speak
ing, the good people of that COM
munity went over the top, with a
nice margin to their credit, with the
prospect of the fund being increased
by personal work, by the committee
of three young ladies who were ap-
pointed for the work. Perfect har-
mony prevailed and the people
seemed to be unit, in standing by
oui precious boys on the bloody
battle fields of France. l have
nothing but words of praise for the
good people of Barkers Creek.
The people of Speedwell had a
Red Cross meeting the other day
and raised over 5000 for the Amer
lean Red Cross, under unfavorable
circumstances. About twenty of the
Speedwell boys are in France and
on their way to France, and the
good people of Speedwell will back
them up as long as we have a dol
lar, for they are our own precious
bows, many of whom will no doub1
sacrifice their lives, that we anl
the generation to follow may bt
free, and escape the horrors of Prus

our veins, we will never 90 back OF

RED CROSS DRIVE
A Big SUCCESS.

Below we give a report of the
amount raised in the county during
the second Red Cross Drive, the
county quota was 100000 and the
total amount reported to date is
Canada has not reported,
but we understand that they have
more than raised her quota, and
there are twenty dollars to be turned
in from Green's Creek. Dillsboro
has subscriptions amounting to three
hundred dollars not in the total. 1t
is believed that when all reports
are in, the county will more than
double her quota.
Addie precinct leads all other
precincts and townships, their quota
beins seventy-five dollars and they
having raised $233.75.

No Congressional
Contests Likely

No contests for seats in Congress as
a result of the last election will be
made it is said in Philadelphia.
State Republican leaders are against
contesting the election in the dis
tricts where the vote was close and
the defeated candidates are said to
be unwilling to personally bear the
financial burden incident to contests.
AS result of this decision there will
be seven Democratic Congressman in
the next Congress, a loss of one mem
ber, says the Philadelphia Record. For
a time the Republicans were consid-
ering contesting the results in the
Tenth, Eleventh and Sixteenth dis
tricts. In the Tenth district Patrick
McLane, Democrat, defeated Con-
gressman John II. Farr by few
votes; John j. Casey, the Democratic
candidate in the Eleventh district,
won over Edmund N. Carpenter by a
very small margin, and in the Six
teenth district Congressman John V.
Lesher, Democrat, defeated Albert
w. Duy by a few hundred votes.
Although the Democrats gained two
seats in Congress, they lost three, in
cluding Congressman Arthur r..
Brodbeck, Twentieth district; Con-
gresham Bruce +. Sterling, Twenty
III. Beshlin, Twenty eighth district
The Democratic Congressman who
were elected are: Arthur G. Dewalt,
Thirteenth district; Henry j. Steele,
Twenty sixth district; NJ Clyde Kelly,
Thirteenth district, and Guy l.. Camp

for the presentation of the measure.
I'VE drafted the necessary ,eSIsia-
ton for an appropriation to afford q
twenty-five per cent. increase for the
teachers some time ago." continued

like $15,000,00O, but it is generally

"You are not going out to church

cidedly; II went to church this
morning; moreover, l have an en-

Bruce is coming in"
Mrs. Higgins looked surprised

NO" Honora assured her. Il

night"
There will be no chaperon for

"Sh-feels the responsibility of us
girls that's all. She is as dear and
good as can be-"

acknowledged, by the way, 1 tele-
phoned Arthur that you and she
were going out. So he knows he
will find me alone. as he requested.

There was an eager curiosity in
her eyes that her sister noted with
a slight recoil. Such look was not
exactly maidenly, she reflected.
Then she laughed as an idea oc-

nice just as you are"
Bruce Finds Her

her sister and companion, she went
into, the living-room and turned on
the light in the lamp with the most
becoming shade, then seated herself
comfortably in a great chair to wait.
Ten minutes later Arthur Bruce

any awkward pauses in a conversa-
