RED CROSS ROLL CALL
Membership Campaign Un-
der Mrs. w. P. Webb Be-
gins Nov. 2 and Lasts Till
18th. $500 Members the
Goal. Asked to Raise
$1,317.03.

The Red Cross Roll Call to Sc
cure new members and renewals
win begin Nov. End and continue
until the 11th. This campaign
will be waged throughout the
land. Rockingham Chapter has
about 1900 members, but the
goal set for this Roll Call is to
secure over $500. Mrs. w. P.
Webb is in charge of the drive.
AS a matter of fact, there
ought to be fully 10000 Red
Cross members in Richmond
county. The cost is $1.00 men,
bership fee, half of which
amount goes to National head
quarters, and half to the treas
ury of the Rockingham Chapter.
This money will be used for re-
lief work over the county, and
for the scores of helpful agen-
cies over which the Red Cross
the Great Mother-presides. It
is hoped to employ a whole-time
nurse for the county, provided
sufficient members enroll so that
the money can be available.
One dollar pays for one years
membership. The Roll Call last
Christmas secured memberships
for 1919. This new Roll Call is
to secure payments for 1920.
Don't wait for a canvasser to
approach you, or for the drive
to begin, but take time by the
forelock and send in your name
and 81 to the treasurer, ]. Le-
Grand Everett. Rockingham,
and you will be duly earolled. Do
this, while the matter is fresh
with you.
During the Roll Call, a can
vass will be made to raise ST.
317.03, which is this Chapters
apportionment of the $15,000,-
900 which the Red Cross is to
raise to complete the war work
overseas. Bear this in mind,
please.
The Chapter will have a booth
at the Fair Nov. 5, 6, 7 and 8,

ed in uniform.

THREW THE HERALD AND NEWS
IN SCOTS CREEK

The desecartion of the thing! 1t
is horrible! Yet it is true! A friend
found them. And they were address
ed to many of our town subscribers.
And they failed to get the paper on
time. And the carrier whom we are
paying to deliver the papers did the
horrible thing! We can not under
stand why any one would do such a
thing. 1t is beyond our comprehen-
sion. One Of the regular carriers on
one of the town routes is off on a
vacation and he secured substitute
and the substitute did the thing.
And he may have done it more than
one time and then accepted pay for
the work. 1t is all passing strange to
US. 1t is difficult in this day to get
people to do things. The demand is
very great for people who can and
will do things, and do them right.
We mention this just to explain why
some of our town subscribers may
have missed their papers. The paper
is not printed for the purpose OF be-
ing consigned to the muddy waters
of SCOTS creek, especially before it
is read by the subscriber. 1t is all
too bad, and we are sorry for the
boy who starts out on his first job
doing things in this manner.

~ KILLED IN NASHVILLE
Notabl. Tennessee Tragedy Recalled
by Death Of Lawyer Convicted
w. With Father. $50

Nashville, Aug. 3G.-Reb1n >.
Cooper of Nashville, whose trial for
the killing of former United States
Senator Edward w. Carmack during
the celebrated pistol duel between hrs
father, Col. D. B. Cooper, and Car
mack in 1908, attracted countrywide
attention, has been murdered here
under mysterious circumstances.
Cooper's body was taken from
RicAland Creek today soon al n hls
blond stained automobile had been
found on a bridge near his home IN
the fashionable Belle Meade Park
section. The skull had been crushed
but there were evidences that a vlo-
4lent struggle had taken place before
lhse fatal blow was struck.
A coroner's inquest late today de-
veloped no clues to the murderer or
murderers, but the police are pro-
seeding on the theory that Cooper
was lured from his home by persons
determined to rob him. This theory
IS based largely upon the evidence
that Cooper drew $4,000 from a
hank a short time before ne dlsap-
9neared last Thursday night.
Lured From Home.
