| Campaign Fund is the fine spirit that
is being shown by the group of citi-
zens able to give only in limited
amounts.
This group of citizens have made
I subscriptions commensurate with their
income and the Team Workers re-
port that in very, very few instances
is there a refusal to have share in
this Great Appeal. If all groups of
citizens will give as these people are
giving the fund will go well 'over
the top"
When this Campaign is officially
ended by the Campaign Committee,
the results will show the spirit OF
the community. The Christmas
spirit is the Christian spirit. The
Community spirit is the spirit of
Civic Pride. These go hand in hand
at this season of the year in connec-
ton with an Appeal of the present
type The boy or girl, man or
woman in Dorchester County that
does not have this spirit and is not
willing to help make a success OF
this Institutional Need does not have

meant nothing to him, If those who
were destitute and sick needed hos
pital care he was willing that others
should furnish it. He had given
his life to making money. After a
Trip through the spirit world,
Scrooge learned that the big things
in life could only be obtained
through service. The noteworthy
ching about the story of Scrooge is
that he learned his duty to mankind
before it was too late.
Every community has it's Scrooges.
The reader is asked to borrow or buy
the story Of "a Christmas Carol,

Do not forget the story Of the tai
ants. Your obligation to your fell
lowmen is no less, whether you make
81 or 500 a day. This unselfish
appeal for more efficient Cam
bridge Hospital can only be ignored
by that citizen who cares nothing
lor the welfare of his fellowmen. If
a story could be written about a few
of the thousands of free patients
that have received treatment in this
institution, it would be sure to reach
the sympathetic cord in the heart OF
every citizen in the Community.
Christmas is approaching. It is a
time of the year when we are inclin-
ed to think of others. Would it not
bring an untold blessing to an en-
tire Community to know on this APP
preaching Christmas Day that every
need of our great Healing Institu-
ton had been met. Who is going
to withhold the helping hand? II
your share is 81 or 500, give it, and
in either case it will be just as CRATE
fully received.

The Question---Is 1t |?

1t is an inspiration to pick up the
daily papers and read articles In
connection with the lives of the phil
anthropists Of our country. Thell
deeds of noble charity, the pleasures
they make possible for others, the
unselfshness of their lives.
Stories of this sort may be found
every day. When reading them we
express in our own hearts and minds
a feeling of thankfulness that there
are such people in the world. In
the columns of the papers the last
few weeks. we have read much about
that noted surgeon from Austria. A
man with big heart and a desire
to serve in the declining years Of his
life. The pictures of the hundreds
of little crippled children, men and
women who have come clamorine
before the doors of the Institution
in which the noted surgeon is work
ing. It must give the least sympa-
thetic person for the suffering OF
others a feeling of love and respect
for such person.
Then we have those noble men
and women who make possible the
countless numbers of Rescue Mis-
sions, Industrial HomesS Orphans
Homes and Hospitals. All of these
Institutions have. gone to make our
own country the most loved in the
world.
Then if we have the open heart
and mind as first given to US by the
Master, we search ourselves and ask
what is my share in helping make
this a better world to live in. Maybe
we are not in a financial position to
endow Institutions or to have them
built as Memorials, then if we are
honest with ourselves we search our
hearts still further and ask: III
am not able to do these bigger
things, what is my responsibility
with the one talent possess?" And
then IL we are the christian men OF
women that we have led ourselves
to believe we are, we plan to use thai
one talent given us in such a way
that it will return to US blessings il
full measure.

NOT SWAY ED by PREJUDICE
Ross VIII Verdict Shows Negro Can
Get Justice in Courts.

The jury's verdict in the Ross will
case in Union county is one of many
instances in which the gratifying fact
stands out that while juries can and
do disregard race prejudice, says the
Statesville Landmark. Maggie Ross,
a white woman possessed of large es-
tate, lived in retirement and II is
alleged that she permitted her negro
servants unusual privileges in her
home. At her death II was found
that she had willed the bulk of her
estate TO three negroes. Various be
quests were made to churches, mis-
sions and charities tthe orphanage at
Barium Springs, $4,000. and small
amounts were given TO various white
persons, but the bulk of the estate
of 1900 acres of valuable farming
lands and about s35, goo in cash was
left to negro man and ms daughter
and granddaughter. The white woman
had no near kin, but as soon as her
will was made public second and
third cousins and others farther re-
moved, TO the number of 109, entered
suit to set aside the will on the ground
that Maggie Ross was not mentally
competent TO make q will and that
she was unduly influenced by the
negroes who were beneficiaries. Many
witnesses expressed the opinion that
she was mentally competent TO make
a will and when pinned down admit

ted that the opinion was based on
the fact that she left her property
TO the negroes.
That was natural thought and
that with the natural race feeling
and the feeling that il was not best
all round for so much valuable prop
erty to pass from the white race by
gift into the hands of negroes, made
a strong case to break the will. True
the white beneficiaries employed
counsel and gave their aid and innu-
ence against the effort TO set aside the
will. but most of these benefciaries
are outside OF Union county. Their
local influence would be small, while
jury Of white Union county citizens
would not be expected to look with
favor on 1900 acres of valuable
Union county land passing into the
hands of negroes. their heirs and as
signs. for all time.
But after a hard fought contest of
Is days II took that Union county
jury just As minutes TO agree that
Maggie Ross knew what she was do
ing when she made her will; that she
wanted the negroes to have the prop
erty and she was entirely right within
her rights when she gave II to them.
That is by no means an unusual
verdict. either. from the point Of race
relationship. Not so many years ago
a white jury, in Iredell Superior
Court, took the word of an old colored
man against that of two white men

Rev. w. c. Underwood preached a
most interesting sermon Sunday, his
subject being THE Betrayal and SIAN

piled his sermon to present day con-

become jealous of their neighbor be-
cause he has better home or bet
ter farm. and to vent their spite they
become "busybodies" in idlencss, go
ing from house TO house, mixing q
grain of truth with bushel of lies.
God Doesn't teach US to be that way,
He having said: Rejoice with those
that do rejoice and weep with those
that weep" The people are highly
pleased with Mr.. Underwood, and
hone that he will be leader in the

years.

The eighth grade diploma is one
of the greatest curses of the present
educational system, according TO Mr..
F V Hinson, a teacher of fifteen
wears experience. He said that he
had taught hundreds OF bright boys
and girls who did their work with
great credit. but that the moment
they completed the eighth grade and
had received diplomas they were
content TO abandon their pusuit OF an
education, contenting themselves
with the parchments presented by the
county. Mr.. Hinson thinks the stand
ard of the schools should be increas-
ed by consolidating small schools so
as TO afford more and better teachers.
Teachers were impressed by the
