Help for the Helpless!
A Proclamation By the Governor

Last year the whole world was
thrilled when the news flashed
over the wires that Jerusalem
had been delivered from the
hands of the Turk. The feeling
was universal that the Holy City
should be restored to the people
who had builded it and with
whose history it is forever associ-
ated. This is a fine sentiment,
but finer and vastly more import
ant than the restoration of the
Holy City is the salvation of mill
ions of Jews from hunger and di-
sease and death. In Turkey, in
Palestine, in Luthania, in Russia,
in Poland and in Galicia starvat-
ion stares the children of Abra-
ham in the face. Daily Jewish
husbands see their wives grow
thin and pale and fade away into
the Great Silence. Daily Jewish
babies tug frantically at breasts
that are withered and dry; and
above the din of battle is heard
once more the voice of Rachel
weeping for her children and re-
fusing to be comforted because
they are not.
call upon the good people Of
North Carolina to hearken to this
cry to rally to the help of the
helpless and once again to show
themselves worthy of the high
service they are privileged tC
render. The bounded, hunger
ing Jew can we'll afford to die
We cannot afford by indifference
and inaction to have his blood or
our hands.
Therefore, |, Thomas Walter
Beckett, Governor of North Car
alma, do hereby set apart Mon
day, the 10Th day of August, 1918
as Jewish Relief day. ask tina
on Sunday, the 18th day of Au
gust, notice be given in all the
churches in sthe State that thu
following monday will be observ
ed as Jewish Relief Day, and thu
people will be givan an opportu
nifty to help this stricken race.
On Monday, the 10Th day o
August, | beg all our people t,
give to this most worthy Caus
generously and gladly. Let lev
and Gentle touch elbows, ant
work together for the relief 0
these millions in distress, ant
may He. who made and loves u
all, bestow upon every giver ant
every gift his Heavenly benedi(
ton

Fathers Day

Fathers Day was q big success
/ in spite Of the inelement weather
which iuterfered with tie night
program. The services at the
church were CARED cut as ar
ranged and the big dinner served
b. the ladies at the Red Cross
Hall was well patroAized. The
procation in the afternoon from
the church to the new rectory
and the dedication service attract
ed a large crowd. The rain in
the evening prevented the barbe-
cue supper at the rectory but it
was served at the hall. An inn
mense crowd spent the evening
at the hall and had a fine time in
spite Of the rain and mud.
Financially the whole affair
was a success and the exchequer
of the building fund received a
substantial boost.
The piano for the program at
the Rectory was furnished by
Mrs. G. X. Abernathy, and many
protestant people assisted in
making the event a success.
The guests from other towns
and the musical talent and
speakers all made a good i'm
preston on Roy people as we
trust we also appeared at our
best to them.
The work on the Sisters house
is progressing more rapidly now
that all the force can be at work
on it and it also will soon be
ready for occupancy.

Wednesday, stopping an Las
Vegas to visit his mother who is
there with relatives. She has
been i'll and Mr.. Trujillo took her

chances of more rain and mud
and a stack of work ahead all
combined to make us deny our

1t don't go bad to sell wheat
for 1.9O when you are compelled
to but it does reach thru when

will all learn to keep enough for
seed instead of trusting to Provi-

The few men who kept their
last years wheat in spite of the

market it, are public benefactors
by reason of the seed they have
saved against this emergency.
