The Shepherd Of The Mountains.

| AhS Nolu oiOu5tlU " CDoCINCI
readers yesterday from Nag's
Head is word that will be passed
around jubilantly by the noun
tain by the mountain people of
the Blowing Rock section. 1t was
a dozen years ago that Rev. Will
liam r. Savage, a born sand .fid-
der, was removed by Church ed
let from the seashore and sent to
the mountains in promotion of
religious work in that locality.
He was located at Blowing Rock
and very shortly became a cen
tral figure in the life of that COM
munity. He was an Episcopal
minister, to be sure, but that
was overshadowed by the far
greater fact that he was a ser
want of God. He loved flowers,
he loved nature and he loved his
fellowman. He put his talents as
landscape gardener to work,
and Blowing Rock blossomed out
into a cluster of parks. He saw
the need of community center,
where the people could gather to,
gether for social intercourse and
for intellectual advancement, and
by some means he raised the
money for the building of a lib
rary and community home, and
this quickly became a popular
rendezvous for both natives and
visitors. Around this home he
set out a wealth of mountain
shrubbery; trees and flowers,
and the surroundings soon de-
veloped a picture of urban beauty
that might excite envy in the
heart of the nursery man. Mean
time, Mr.. Savage's charges
were scattered oyer remote Sec
|
tions of the mountain region. He
had no horse, SO he footed it to
and from these places of modest
gatherings. The deeper t h e
snow, the earlier he made his
start for his appointment" and
none waited for his coming in
vain. There are some readers of
this paper who may yet remem-
ber the story of chance obser-
vation of this good friend of hu.
manity plodding his way into the
snowy depths of the valley one
wintrv Sunday morning, singing
on his way and seeing in the ice
coated fronds of the spruce only
SO many glittering symbols of the
cross.
And so it has come to pass that
an appreciative authority of the
Church has again sent him from
the sand dunes of the east to the
higher hills of the west, to once
more resume his labors among a
people he had learned to love and
in whose hearts he has found an
abiding place. The new center OF
Mr.. Savage's activities will be al
Jefferson, butlittle leremoved from
the Blowing Rock community yet
rejoicing in the blessings of the
uplifting work he planted there
But for him and the people of the
region, one location is quite as
good as another, and wherever
his tent is cast, there will becom
mon claim upon him as the Shep
herd of the Mountains. Editori

Worlds Greatest Soldier. =


Neither Marshal Fochnor Gen
. eral Pershing hold the honor, ac-
cording to General Duncan, CON-
mander of the 82n6 Division, of
being the worlds greatest sol
: der. Sgt. Alvin G. York, who
received the congressional medal
of honor for the mightiest single
handed achievement of the war,
5 in which he killed 20 Germans,
took 1872 more prisoners and put
30 enemy machine gun nests out
of business in the Argonne, is
held out by his commander for
this honor.
At a dinner Of the Tennessee
Society in his honor at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, New York City, last
Thursday night, Sgt. York was
proclaimed the greatest soldier
in history"
According to a New York dis
patch, York, second elder in the
Church of Christ and Christian
Union in the little Tennessee will
age Of Pail Mall, on the Lone Wolf
river was fanked on either side
at the speakers table by Major
General Geo. Duncan, who COM
manded the 82nd (all America)
division in which York fought and
Vice Admiral Albert Gleaves, the
commander Of the cruiser and
transport force of the navy, who
sent him overseas and brought
him back" y
Not only that but telegram
from the Secretary of War was
read to him, in which Mr.. Baker
asked that his very sincerest re-
CARDS" be personally conveyed
to the distinguished soldier.
York's toast was drunk stand
ing, sandwiched in between one
to President Wilson and another
to Maj. General Duncan and so
many times was Sergeant York
"eulogized and spoken to that he
heard the POSTMASTER hesitate as
he started to introduce the Sind
Divisions commanding general
AS "Sergeant-er-er-thatlis is
Major General Duncan"
When it came York's turn to
stand up and address the diners
he showed his modest simplicity:
II guess you all understand
that I'm just a soldier and not a
speaker" he said. I'm just a
soldier boy-but l want to thank
the society, and General Duncan
and I want you all to know that
what you have all done for me is
highly appreciated and: l never
shall forget it, Thank you very
much"
Thursday was one round OF
festivities for Sergeant York.
From morning until long after
his regular bedtime" he was
hurried about the city in taxi
cabs, touring arsandlimousines
He was shunted from one place
Of interest and one reception tc
another until eating time at the
Waldorf-Astor gave him a brea
thing spell. Then he announced
modestIy, and with no offense in
tend, that all day long he had
wanted to do ''just one thing
get in the subway"
That's one place I sure Dc
want to see," he sighed.
At dinner Sergeant York was
hailed as the soldier who has
distinguished himself above al
men in the war in the achieve
ment of the greatest individual
deed of history. Joseph Cum
mings Chase, who was sent b.
the war department to "paintth
portraits Of all thegenerals in th'
American army and Sergean
York" pointed to what a fin
thing it is to see General Dun

around the rosy in the death

til a few yesterdays ago the most
hellish spot in Mexico. Song and
laughter rose from the inclosure
where innumerable men have
cursed and died. The sun pour
ed into stony sockets whose fes-
tering horror hadn't seen the
light of day for a century.
Such was my introduction to
Belem, long the home Of Mexican
inquisition and for decades the
human slaughterhouse of Diaz

He told me of Senator Belisa-

of kidnappings, arrests and tiend-
ish things, all ending here in this
labyrinth of terror that helda pc
culiar mockery because Belem
had for 800 years before BEEN a

and prayer.

could look down into four courts.
The old execution yard swarmed
with romping youngsters. In
another area stood hundreds OF
men, women and children, in
rags, being attended by white
robed doctors and nurses. From
the workshop in a third emerged
lines of women and girls, clean
neatly uniformed, chatting and
smiling.

THE ANCESTORS
Of WORDS

Very few Americans ever get to
college, and very few Of those ever
see the use of studying Latin. II
they get it in the high school the
usual reason is that it happens I'd be
compulsory in the course chosen.
You hear it asked: But where is
the actual benefit in the study OF
Latin?' And it is absolutely es-
sential they be shown. Nothing but
concrete instances appeals to them
no matter if you can prove that halt
the English language is based on
Latin.
So here are some concrete ex-
amples of Americanisms based on
Latin words: to operate, to locate,
institution, lyceum, acadamy, recita-
ton, proclivities, section, eminence,
elegant, vacation, prominent, cir
culate.
The above words are not used in
English to the extent they are made
to serve us in America, therefore
they are. strictly Americanisms. Why
study Latin, anyway? Well, to be
brief, words mean more to us if we
know their great-great grandfathers
and all their KIM. G. X.

LET THE DREAMER
BE HEARD

Seeing is believing. The sense of
sight must always be put before all
other senses, in the long run. Hear
ing is feeling, and when men act be-
cause they feel, the sense Of hearing
rises to great Importance. A deaf
man would scarcely have known
what the French revolution was all
about if he had been right in the
midst of it. In Mexico a man with
out hearing would probably have a
short lease on life. He would never
know when it was time to run away
and barricade his door.
But in the making of great armies
and great nations hearing came first,
and oratory was the weapon of lead
ers and organizers. Almost within
the lifetime of our present genera
tion oratory has given place to
publicity" which is printed oratory.
Abolition would today be preached
thru the press, and not on street
corners and public rostrums.
Publicity is the better way to in
fiuence public opinion because it ap-
peals to reason. When Tom Paine
wrote his appeal to Reason" he
made great effect among orators
who passed on his thought to the
public. Reading was not so common
then, as in this century when we
have seen Americas effort in a great
world war mostly organized and
stimulated thru publicity.
A giant has come to the earth.
What can not be done with a power
that runs out and into every home
and convinces all men in one day?

vertising has become the greatest
merchandising force. Whole nations
have been disorganized by propa-
ganda. Here is a power that has

Winning Combination

When w. J.. Taber, driving Ford

tires, finished ahead of forty-two
cars of other makes in the recent Ell
Paso to Phoenix road race, he linked
wo of the greatest names in motor
dcm-Henry Ford and Barney Old
field.
Back in 1902 at the Crosse Point
race track, Barney Oldfield began his
record-breaking at the wheel of the
now famous Ford "999". At this
time he drove the first mile on a
circular track that was ever covered
in less than a minute. This COM
bination of ord and Oldfield con-
tinued for about year when their
paths separated. One became the
motor king and the other the speed
king and neither recognized an
equal.
Barney Oldfield retired from the
racing game several months ago and
is now president of the Oldfield Tire
company at cleveland.
For many years, Ford and Oldfield
ave both proved winners, and the
products of these pioneers again
prove a winning combination.
