A CHANCE TO HELP.

Those who have visited the
stricken area in the Evansdale Sec
tion realize how complete the destruc-
tion is. There is nothing usable left.
These people were tenants hence
their all is gone. Not only that but
most of them are helpless in bed,
some seriously injured. White people
and colored are among the victims.
While good many persons are
busy raising money it has occurred to
me that many people who cannot give
money would like to give something
Anything that goes into the family
household would be acceptable to these
people. Old clothing, shoes, beds,
mattresses, bed linen and covers, din
ing room and kitchen furniture and
utensils ,etc, etc. =
If possible visit the ruins. You will
then see why appeals are being made.
1t is well worth the trip.
! Phone your name, street and num-
Der to 258 or 9O5. You will be visited
within the next few days.

REPORT FINDING OF
SOUTH AMERICAN MONSTER.

Buenos Aires, March ga plesios-
aurian monster, an amphibian of the
mesozoic order generally believed to
exist only in fossil form, is still alive
in Patagonia, according to a belief ex-
pressed today by Professor Clement
Onelli, director of the Buenos Aires
Geological garden. He announced
that he had received credible reports
that sucL a monster was seen in a
lake in the territory of Chubut, near
the Andes mountains.
Professor Onelli made public a let
ter from an English friend named
Sheffield, saying that while hunting
in the Andes he discovered trail of
flattened out vegetation near. a lake.
indicating the track or an animal of
enormous weight. Later, says the let
ter, Mr.. Sheffield saw in the middle
of the lake an animal, with a colossal
neck like that of a swan, whose move
ments in the water indicated that the
body was shaped like crocodile. He
said harpoons would be necessary to
capture the monster.
Professor OnelH said this evidence
confirmed two, previous reports that
such an animal had been seen alive
during the last year in the same re-
gion, where various scientific ex-
peditions have. made rich finds of ami
mails of geological ages. He said an
expedition from Argentina or some
other country should be semitic cap

state commerce commission's investi-
cation of present freight rate levels
entered its final session. when ali rail
roads of United States aid most ship
ping companies began su.1ming up
of evidence taken during the. three
months of the hearing. For the rail-
roads which were given the opening
argument Henry Wolfe Bickle Of the
Pennsylvania system declared that
the evidence had proven a. general
rate reduction was impossible.
Resting his argument on the Sec
tions of the transportation act which
fixed a. six per cent return as reason
able Mr.. BickIe said the earning pow
er of the railways during actual ex-
perience in 1921 amounted to a.Os'
per cent of their investment and at
considering only the last six m Ihs
OF 1921 when wage decreas& and 9TH
er decreased operating expetses were
erected the earnings were il449 per
cent. p

penses of railroad operations have

Bickle said they have not BEEN dimin-
1shed to such an extent as 10 permit

Miss Mary inshaw. home demon-
stration agent for Wilson county and
recently arrived in Wilson, made al
clever speech expressing her pleasure
with Wilson and her people. Mr.. H.
Y, Scott, secretary of the Chamber of
Commerce, was called on for a
speech. He referred the matter to
Mrs. Scott, who gracefully responded
to the occasion and made short but
interesting talk urging the support of
the business men in the erection OF
the new woman's Club building.
Mr. Fulghum then asked Mr.. L. s.
Tomlinson to introduce Mr.. Grant
Wright, of Philadelphia, who is in
Wilson attending the implement deal
ers meeting. Mr.. Wright made an ex-
|ceedingly interesting speech.
Mr.. Wright quickly showed that
he was accustomed to addressing an
audience, and he made one feel that
he always had an excellent message
on hand. He drew a. clever word pic
ture of the business mans day with
the corners of the mouth turned up"
or with the corners of the mouth
turned down." 1t was a message full
of the gospel of cheer. He spoke pleas
antly of Wilson, declaring that it was
!, a town with~a wonderful future.
Mr.. w. M. Perlstein of Boylan
and Company of Raleigh was next in
produced by Mr.. Fulghum. Mr.. PERL
jstein's address was greatly enjoyed
by every person before him. He stated
that he had come upon the invitation
of his friend, Mr.. Elmer Oettinger,
and that it was a great pleasure to be
present.
Mr.. Perlstein said recently he had
been in attendance upon nationally at
!; tended meetings, and at these meet
ings he had heard well informed men
of opinion that at the present time in
all this nation North Carolina was the
state in which business conditions
were on more even ground.
The speaker declared the United
States was the best nation in the
..:world and North Carolina the best
state in the United States. And why
shouldn't North Carolina be the best
state, the speaker asked. She has an
Asheville and Wrightsville Beach for
tourists in the summer time, and a
Pinehurst and Southern Pines in the
! Winter. This State produces every
thing needed to eat and to drink, she
products everything needed to stock
her households from cellar to garret.
Mr.. Perlstein pointed to the glorious
opportunities before the merchants of
! the State. He said that the merchants
of Wilson, Statesville and Charlotte
were better organized and getting
better work done. than any in the
State
Mr.. Perlstein advocated the golden
rule whereby any merchant can ach-
ieve success, and he urged cooperation
through the Merchants Association as
method of successful unified work.
Mr.. L. S. Tomlinon presented a
plea for. aid for the sufferers in the
county from yesterdays storm The
Merchants Association pledged 500
to this cause.

A WONDERFUL SPEECH
Every one should have heard DIR,

Every one should nave noard Or.
w e. Taylor Of Moline, Illinois,
Ithe largest farmer. and the best soil
expert in the world, here attending
the Implements convention. The
speech was delivered in the rooms
of the Chamber Of Commerce and
those present listened intently.
DR.. Taylor spoke at length but
every word was interesting. He
praised North Carolina, both in soil
and possibilities and production. He
said that this state was richer in
potential possibilities than any state
in the union for we had the soil and
the climate, and all we needed was
to get back to the old way Of farm
ing, stirring early and late as our
forefathers did. He said the farm
ers as well as the business men had
;; themselves to blame for their mis-
fortunes. Instead of saving and
drawing in during the good times
I during the war, which was destroy
] ing stuff as fast they could make it
and putting up the price, an abnor-
NAL condition they were expanding
and buying high price land and
throwing their money away. And
now some Of them are blaming the
government and politics and every
thing else except their lack of fore
sight and industry. The farmer he
said must step on the gasoline less
and on the hoe more if he should
succeed.
Our forefathers paid a dollar an
acre for much Of their land, and a
number Of us bought it at 500. 90
per acre, anr we did not make
enough at the present low price of
corn and wheat to pay. interest on
the land much less the cost Of maxi
ing the crop. ~
Our forefathers got up at dawn
and went to work and now some Of
our farmers do not make 4 half days
work.
Dr. Taylor reviewed the history of
prices since the civil war. He said
that ten years prior to 1s4s corn
sold for s712 cents per bushel, but
the farmers were NOT the only ones
who were foolish. He said that he
was guilty of buying high price
stocks mad bonds and7 these today
were not worth . dollar Every bus

suffering Mrs. Bratton ministered with
much care and kindness. When the
officer who had saved her life the day
before was captured, he asked to be
taken before this noble woman, who
not only saved his life but entertained
him in her best and most hospitable
manner. So we see that kindness done
to an enemy woman bore a quick and
an abundant harvest; $50 shines a

Shakespeare's words. ~,
This fight has been passed over in
almost total silence but was a turning
point in our history-it put spirit into
the men of that section of the state,
who in large numbers joined Sumter's
forces, and enabled him shortly after
that to make an attack on Rocky
Mount and eight days thereafter to
decisively defeat the enemy at Hang
ing Rock.
