One Dollar Contributions Coming In


Several gentlemen have handed
us a dollar in response to the article
we wrote some few days ago sug-
costing a memorial table to our fall
en- heroes. Remember it will take
about s425 to buy this tablet and
place. We will be glad to receive
any S1.OO donations for this purpose
We want to raise this amount with
out making a personal campaign.
These boys went to figh tour battle
Tt is up to us to honor their mem
ory and we feel that it should be
voluntary on our part. If you feel
like giving a dollar to this worthy
cause please bring it to us at once
as we want to raise this amount and
place the order in a few days. As
soon as we raise the $425 we will not
accept another one, so don't wait
until the amount is raised and then
offer your dollar for it will then be
too late. Two gentlemen in town
wanted to be the first to contribute,
one beat the other by five minutes.
That's the right spirit, don't try to
be the last to contribute; try to be
the next one. You are only asked
to give one dollar. They gave their
all. Bring it or send it to James
Dempsey Bullock, Historian Wilson
County.

Rev. Morrison Bethea is chair
man of the Armenian-S Syrian Relief
fund for Wilson county, and it goes
without saying that the affair is not
only in good hands, and that he will
push it to a successful conclusion,
but that oun people appreciating the
great suffering and deprivation that
these people have received at the
hands of the unspeakable Turks, will
open their hearts and respond to the
appeals that are now going up from
the people in that stricken country,
and earnestly assist the campaign
on in this state at present to bring
them relief.
At the meeting in Raleigh yester-
day afternoon and the luncheon at
the Yarbrough last night the speak
ers fresh from that country stated
that the conditions were past de-
scription, and the suffering was
something horrible to contemplate.

individuals organizations or churches
may take as many of these as they
like to support; and the moneys

The quota in money from Wilson

when the prosperity of the county is

committee was spent in discussing
the colonial voting reservation and

Deported Party Safely Across Rus

Terijoki, Jan. 19.-(By the Asso
ciated Press. )-The band Of Bolshe-
vik and anarchists deported from
the United States are safely across
the Russian frontier tonight but
whether all the-members of the party
will remain safe in soviet Russian is
a question to be determined by the
Bolshevik authorities.
Hardly had the last of them pass
ed over the border than a belated
telegram reached the Finnish mill
tay officials in charge of the trans
fer announcing that the Soviet gov
ernment had decided to permit only
three Of the deportees to enter.
Their names have not been mad pub
lie. but those thus favored are believ-
ed to be Emma Goldman, Alexander
Berkman and Peter Biansky Obi
anky?) The telegram is incompne-
hensible in view of the fact that a
deleeation including the wife of Max
i'm Gorky. came out to receive the
exiles and elaborate preparations
had been made by the frontier Boil
shevik to welcome them.
