MEANT WHAT HE SAID

Sometime ago a code of conduct
was drawn up by Rev. E. x. Heath
erly, pastor of King Memorial Bap-
fist church, Leaksville, and saction-
ed by popular vote of the congrega-
ton. The code forbids drinking in
toxicating liquor, dancing or pa
tronizing swimming pools where
men and women swim together.
The minister evidently meant to
enforce the rules for the past week
one male member was excluded for
alleged violation of the drinking
rule, another young man entered a
swimming pool patronized by both
men and women and got the air and
a young woman's name was taken
from the church rolls because she
attended two dances.
Mr.. Heatherly said the ousted
members would be received back
into the congregation if they ex-
pressed willingness to repent and
abide by the church code in the
future. Exchange.

Helen Keller's
Teacher Passes

Helen Keller, unique among all
the women of the world, has been
separated by death from her Teach
err" unique among the worlds
teachers of all time.
Mrs. Anne Sullivan Macy, 70, who
for half a century had been eyes
and ears for Helen Keller, blind and
deaf mute, and much of that time
had been here voice also, passed
away early Tuesday morning while
her worldrenowned pupil sat by her
bedside and held her hand.
Mrs. Macy had been coma for
four days, as result of heart at
tack. The end came in the home of
Mrs. Polly Thompson, Miss Keller's
secretary, at Forest Hill, L. l.,
where the famous teacher and stu
dent had made their home in recent
years, since Mrs Macy lost her own
eyesight, perhaps from lifetime OF
reading and studying for two.
As young woman, Anne Sullivan
later Mrs. Macy, became the teacher
of the deaf, mute and blind child OF
the South. The two became devoted
to each other and spent their lives in
constant companionship. The young

Greatest Statesman

DR.. Ralph Mcdonald told Demo-
cratic rally in Boone Saturday that
Representative r. L. Doughton was
the South's greatest statesman.
North Cardinals most beloved pub
lie official and President Roosevelt's
most valuable and tireless associate. +"
He added that the Democratic
party by it's record must be recog-
nized as the party of human rights,
the party of progress, and the party
Of sane liberalism. The Republican
party today has exactly the same
control of wealth and special privi-
lege, exactly the same principle Of
reaction and stagnation which feat
Ired its record under Harding,
Coolidge and Hoover.

Heartbroken, as she left "Teach-

Chevrolet to Make
Bow Next Saturday

The finest Chevrolets in the COM
pany's quarter-century of automo-
bile manufacture will make their
bow here and throughout the coun-
try on November z, Mr.. Jones of the
Hafer Chevrolet Company, announc-
ed this week, upon his return from
Charlotte, where one thousand deal
erS, sales managers and statesmen
from North Carolina obtained offici-
al news of the new product from Mr..
T. D. Hunter, manager of the Char
lotte Zone and members of his staff.
Mr. Hunter has just returned from
Detroit, where 1000 members of
Chevrolet's wholesale organization
from coast to coast spent four days
inspecting and driving the new car
and reviewing with factory execu-
tives the program to be followed in
presenting it. The new models adj
here closely to time-tried Chevrolet
engineering principals, he reported,
but combine greater power, economy,
safety, and durability with striking
new beauty and grace.
Mr.. M. E. Coyle, president and
general manager of Chevrolet, an
nounced during the convention that
the company had shattered all pre-
vious records during 1886, selling
more cars and more trucks than in
any previous year in its history, and
leading the world in sales for the
seventh time in the last 10 years.
The total for the year will exceed
1,125,0O units, he said, and the OBJ
jective for 1887 is 100000.

VOTERS SET APPROVAL ON NEW DEAL

Four years ago, the voters of the nation were
dissatisfied, restless, and ready for change OF
any sort. They turned with big majority to
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, man who prom
ised change.
And Mr.. Roosevelt has changed so many
things that conservative heads have spent much
time in shaking, while opposing Democrats as
well as Republicans have held up the flaws OF
the 'New Deal" to the public in a campaign that
has been very bitter one. But the majority of
the voters in the United States are not interest
ed in the technicalities of government They are
interested in the results gained, and even the
most rabid anti-Roosevelt citizen cannot get
around the figures that show that business, in
dustry and agriculture, have taken great strides
forward since 1882. Nor can it be denied that
the government has spent more time than ever
before in it's history in trying to aid the socaled
little man, the poor and neglected, the old and
decrepit, the young and hopeful.
All of these many programs have taken mil
lions of dollars in money. Many thoughtful peo-
pie are sincerely alarmed about the prospect of
paying the money back, but the many thousands
who have been helped are not worrying about
that They have been helped and they voted
accordingly
Franklin Delano Roosevelt has an almost
super-charming personality, but it was for
principal more than for the man himself that
voters flocked to the polls to put the stamp of
approval on Tuesday. The people like his poll
cies and four more years of them will in all
probability bring about many important changes
in the history of the United States which will
result in a more democratic form of government
that this democracy has yet known.
Mr. Roosevelt has shown that his heart and
his works are with the common man. Tuesday
showed that the common man is full of graft
tude for the notice thus taken of him, his needs
and his family.

LEST WE FORGET

November II, 1918, will soon be just another
historical date. Our present day high school sth-
dents cannot remember it even though they en-
Joy hearing or reading about that day when
their fathers uncles, older brothers, or cousins
were allowed to return home from war, the
very name of which still has the power to turn
the happiest face into sadness.
Last year, Italy was threatening world peace
by her invasion of Ethiopia This year, Spain is
in the grip of horrible civil war.
With our modern means OF communication,
war between any group of nations or within any
nation always holds the possibility of starting
another world war. European nations seem to
be unable to settle anything recently without
holding out such threat.
Thanks to our geographical situation, the
United States is able to stay more clear OF en-
tangling alliances than other nations 1t has been
policy of long standing and since our expert
ence in the World War it is not only policy of
the government but the wish of the people The
middle-aged men and women in the United
States KNOW what war is and have no desire to
have second lesson in its tragedies.
And because some of us remember and un-
derstand the meaning of the date, November
IL, 1913, we should make it point to keep our
children and our children's children from ever
entering again into such woeful waste of hui
man lives, health and happiness.

TROY I. JONES
TO THE SUFFERING
POOR FISH

If in this election I get beat
Around my sandpaper collar
! will heat
And it may burst into the
hottest flame
And those that said they
would I will blame
So back to home and a-holt
of the pillow
And earn my living by the
sweat of my brow
So I will never again be a
candidate
For it takes a Bryan to suf-
fer triple fate.
So my friend, don't be dis
mayed
For my folly I have surely
paid
But at everybody I surely
will be mad
But after a while will Ger
tainly be glad
That in this race I never
won
And will try to turn to prac-
teal fun
And say that I really got de-
feated
And the other side never
cheated
So I am really going to stick
cut my chest
And not blame the graves
but let them rest
So when st. Peter says,
''What on earth did you
do?"
Nothing, I lack thousand
getting through"
I am not taking this to heart
but on my sleeve.
Nothing in politics is truth
but all make believe
So after all is said and done
It was mostly said or I
would have won.
You can't pull the wool over
the public's eyes
Because whether weaker
they are growing wise
So after all my raring and
citation
I really know what is defla-
ton
Both of spirit and pocket
book.
At my bank statement I am
afraid to look.
Really now I was not cheat
ed
The public felt I should be
defeated.

VACCINATION STAMPS OUT DISEASE

Smallpox, said to be disease almost equal
in dreadfulness to leprosy, has been stamped
out in this country by the use Of vaccine. Ty-
phoid fever is becoming more and more unusual
because of the use of vaccine. Other once fatal
diseases, among which is diptheria, has been
brought under control by vaccination.
Now we learn that measles and influenza
are weakening before the determined fight that
science is making in the name of vaccines.
From the daily newspapers we read with
with satisfaction that effective vaccines have
been found for both these diseases.
From New Orleans comes this information:
measles is most dangerous in children be-
tween one and four years Of age, undernourish-
ed children, and children who have tuberculosis,
or are sick with or just getting over some acute
infection. These children can and should be pro-
tected from the disease.
"This can be done by giving them serum
treatment.
"No practical way of preventing measles al
together has been developed, in the opinion of
the federal health authorities, but for the very
small, weak or sickly child serum treatment is
useful.
"The protection child gets from serum
treatment is temporary He will be able to re-
sist the disease for from three to six weeks, but
this should tide him over an outbreak in his
neighborhood when he would be exposed.
Another advantage of serum treatment is that
even if the child should get measles, he will not
have such severe case and he is not likely to
have any of the serious after-effects and COM
plcations such as heart trouble, mastoid disease,
or meningitis. It is these complications which
make measles such serious disease"
And again from New Orleans, we learn:
"The first vaccine for flu has been tried on
30 human beings with 100 per cent success, at
the Rockefeller Institute in New York.
"This fact has been announced to the Aneri-
can Public Health Association as the 'prelimi-
nary skirmish' in what at present promises to be
successful campaign to mitigate the ravages of
influenza, and possibly to abolish the great flu
epidemics as effectively as yellow fever and
Black Death.
Zone obstacle still puzzling the Rockefeller
Institute medical scientists is nearly indisput-
able proof recently found, that flu is not one
disease, but possible two or three.

This 1886, our darling boy, Roger
Dean Brown, was two years, four
months, and twenty-five days old.
He was a light in our home, but has
gone to make heaven more bright
gone to our Saviour's home to rest
in the arms of Jesus until the last
call of the good and the just. He has
left father and mother, two broth
ers, two sisters, and host of friends
to grieve his loss, but our loss is
heavens eternal gain.

The finish came at 4:30 o'clock
Saturday afternoon-10 years to the
hour after Millar's sudden death at
the age of 72-with six mothers
claiming to be tied for the prize of
100000.
The apparent winners, who will
share the fortune equally if their
claims are substantiated and if the

are-with but two exceptions
mothers who have borne their ba-
bies in dire poverty.
