Gov. Holt Residence, Haw River,
Emergency Hospital-
It was a capital idea to turn the
Gov. Holt residence at Haw River
into an emergency hospital. The
residence contains about a dozen
large, well ventilated rooms, equip
ped with all modern conveniences.
It stands well back and can be kept
perfectly quiet. There was being
treated abont 30 cuses of influenza
there at last accounts, and it is noted |
that the disease is now under fairly (
good control there. Ten days ago
tbe situation there was alarming.
This splendid property belongs to
Mr. Finley L. Williamson, one of the
owners of the Holt-Granite Mills at
that glace. He personally helped to
fight the epidemic' until stricken
himself and then authorized his bank
account to be drawn on up $5,000 to
Combat the malady.
Mr. Yancey Tackell, Over 93, Passes

year, having been born May 6, 1825,
and was one of the county's oldest
citizens. He spent his long life in
the community wh*re he was born
and raised. He was a quiet, indus
trious, honest and honorable citizen.
He had been a life-long member of
the Lutheran church and the inter
ment was at Fried ens church, two
and a half milea northwest of Gibson
villa. He was married four times.
His last wife died a ttw months ago.
He was the father of nine children,
four of whom survive him.
A Call for Prayer.
It is the desire of the citizens and
churches of Oraham to have a spe
cial call of the people to prayer.
We wish as a reminder, that the '
power house would flicker the 1
lights every night at 7 o'clock,
and every one would stop their du- ]
ties a few moments to petition
for,.not only our nation at war, but
also those who are in sorrqw and i
Srief and the many who are sick, ,
uring this serious time.
The churches also -desire that the
church bella be tolled each Sundav 1
morning at fhe regular 11 o'clock i
church hour to call the attention {
of the people to this same duty.

in Mexico feels over the news to
day.
' Emergency Hospital Opened. * r
The rapid increase of influents in
Graham last week called tor extra
! ordinary measures to care for the
sick. Recognizing the necessity of
r immediate action, .ft - meeting of
' Bed Cross workers was called Sat
urday morning to lay plana for ac
, tion. Without delay it was decid
ed to open an emergency hospital,
secure competent nurses and ar
> range to aupply nourishment beat
suited to the needs of the pick.
A suitable building for a hospital
i was the first matter to be settled.
The Presbyterian manse was found
to be available, as Dr. McConnell
had Just packed up his household
' effects preparatory to going to
Florida. It was cleared at once and
thoroughly cleaned and aired. Cots,
beds and bedding were arranged
for and theae were put in Sunday.
1 Before the day waa over arrange
ments were made to accommodate a
dozen or more patients and some
' were moved in. The manse was ap
parently inadequate ofrlng to th?
increase in cases, and Mondfey it
was arranged to use the Sunday
, School class rooms at the Pre )-
byterian church in connection with
the manse. This arrangement was
better still as the church is sun
plied with- heat, water a kitchenette
and other conveniences, making it
ideal for the purpoae.
In the meantime a nurs; of ex
perience had been secured through
good offices of the State Board of
Health to help in the organization.
She came, but found matters in such
, excellent shape that her services
were not further required after a
' stay of a couple of days. Two
■ graduate nurses are now in char 1 ;"
aided by volunteer nurseß. An ex
pert passed this way the first n;
the week and gave the arrangrem?n
here unstinted praise.
, Up to today 32 patients hive be?n
received. Some have been vrv
1 sick. A few are still »iuito s'c'c
but it is believed all will snfely re
cover. The doctors frankly und
openly say that the prompt ac'.iin
has saved several lives.
Women, and men, minv of them
have generously aided in personal
service and with money to suopl.v
| everything needed, and what thev
| have done lis worthy of the highest
ajJbreeiation.
While everyone deserves up' oil]
mention, the services of Miss I>"na
Coble, County Demonstrator, hns
been such that It should not tin
mentioned. Before tho hosnttil wis
established, she converted he' room
in the court house intn a ktchf-n
and was preparing dainty and r>nl
atable soups which were cnrri"'l to
the homes of the aick. Sh° is In
charge of the food preparation at
the hospital and many of the st»V
outside are being served from th*
hospital kitchen.
No community effct could hive
been more generouslv anupQye''
than the Emergency Hnsi.ltnl, and
none could have rendered a mora
needed service.
Teachers' Service Flag.
The Executive Committee of
the North Carolina Teachers' As
sembly hue decided to purchase a
Service Flag as an indication of
appreciation of the heroic service
of the members the teachinig

vice, American Library Associa
tion, and tho Salvation Army.
I desire the name of every
teacher who has tafeon part or is
taking part in any of the activi
ties indicated above.
Be sure to report to me by Nov.
10 the name and home address of
every teacher that you know who
is in war service, and tho kind of
service in which such teacher is
engaged.
Tho Service Flag will be pre

27th. This flag is to indicate the
number of teachers in service in
the various branches specified
above. The flag will be filed with

triotic service of our profession,
and a token of our appreciation.

Influenza Should Not Keep Voters
From Polls.
Tho epidemic of influenza which
is still prevalent in -the State
should not prevent voters from
casting their ballots on next Tues
day.
The statement of the Board of
Health is as follows:
The epidemic of influenza now
prevalent in North Carolina should
not prevent any voter from going
to the polls next Tuesday and
casting liia ballot, provided he is
able to be outdoors. There should
be no crowds about the polling
places, but otherwise there ia no
danger. It ia the privilege and
duty of every citizen to vote, and
voters should not remain at home
and fail to exercise their right of
franchise because of an exagge
rated fear of this disease.
Influenza is essentially a cifewd
disease and among the chief
methods by which it is spread are
careless spitting, coughing, and
sneezing, and the use of drinking
vessels uaed by others. One of
the hief precautions to prevent
theespread of the disease, there
fore is the avoidance of crowds.
Speial care in this respect should
be taken at all polling places on
Tuesday.
Otherwise there is no danger.
A citizen may with assurance go
to the polls and cast his ballot
with the same safety that be may
go about any other errand.
Autocracy is unable to "dig it
self in" anywhere any mate.
Baron Burian, Austrian Foreign
Minister, says he cab feel |»eace
coming. Yes, it's coming your
way, dear Baron, escorted by the

When the kidneys hurt and the
back feels sore, don't get Reared
and proceed* to load the stomach
with a lot of drugs that excite the

The functions of the kidneys IN to

J. F. Grayden of Simpsouville,

natural way for keeping the kid

healthful condition. In a signed
interview he says iu part: "I was
run down in every way. I suffer-,
ed terribly from kidney and bowel
trouble and was also very bilious.
I lost my appetite and could uot
sleep. 1 saw in the newspapers
where thiß new herb medicine,
Dreco, was doing so much for peo

of Dreco his helped mo more than
anything I ever took. Although
I am CO years of age I am able to

Dreco, referred to in the above
statement is purely a combination
of natural ingredients. It Con
tains no mineral acids or danger

Dreco is now dispensed by best

Somewhere Iu France.
September 21st, 1018.
DEAR MAMA
After wandering all ov«r France
we have at last landed on the
front. Although this is not one
of the real lively sectors, they
shoot throu.h just the same. Last
night I watched a fight with an
aeroplane, and seveial pieces of
shrapnel fell around us.
I have been trying to find out
Robert's whereabouts ever since I
have been over here, but do not
find any one that has seen his
Division, aud information of that
kind is very hard to get any way.
Night before last we hiked all
night long through the cold rain.
We had to make about twenty
two miles before daylight, so we
had to hurry along regardless of
the rain and mountains. It was
some long, cold aud tfet trip, but
only one man dropped out and
WHS left behind, that was good for
that bunch' of men.
What do you think of the war
news now? It,still looks good to
me. We have been fortunate in
getting an American paper that
is printed in Paris most every
night, and believe me we certain
ly enjoy it, too.
I have received one letter from
you at this time, that is, besides
the ones forwarded me from Camp
Upton, although I am expecting
some mail her , for we have been
on the move, and all mail was
sent ahead.
Tell Aunt Annie to be suro and
write, for getting mail over here
is like Christmas coming to a
child. The boys don't look for
ward Jo pay diiy like they do mail
day. and another thing, getting a
bath is just about as often as get
ting a letter, aud both are very
scarce.
This is a very beautiful coun
try. I did not think it was near
as pretty as England, but since 1
have traveled more aud have seen
more of France I like France bet
ter, and the people are much bet
ter to us, and try to help us all
they can, although their help (s
very limited, as there are no peo
ple jit home but women, children
and old men, and it is wonderful
the amount of laboring work the
women Alo, but their method of
work in so antlgue.
Maybe the next letter I write I
will have more news to tell you,
for We will be on relief by then.
Write soon. Love to all. "

Somebody's Dollars WUI Do It- ||
I Wonder If They'll Be Yours *
By Bruce Barton
I WILL tell you what will happen some I
night this winter in France. Some
night when its cold and dark. There
will be a rustling through the front line
trench, where our boys stand guard. And
a heavy ladened Secretary will make
his way along. V
In his hands will be great steaming
pots: in his pocket chocolate and ciga
rettes.
From one man to another he will go,
passing a cup full of hot coffee to hands
that tremble with the cold; bringing the
\ comfort of a bit of sweet and a smoke.
i)M Men will hail him cheerily, slapping KM
MI him on the back; and when he has gone WH
W things will be a little easier in that trench X 3
because he has passed that way.
How much will it cost to make that ri
trip, do you suppose? Counting the
pittance that the Secretary is paid, and
the cost of the chocolate and the ciga- >■
rettes and all? ,
» Five dollars? Twenty-flve dollars?
I do not know. rt
But whether It is five dollars or
twenty-flve, I'd like to think that it is 11
my five or twenty-fiva—wouldn't you?
That some-night when it's cold and lone
some, my money and yours might send a f.
Secretary out along that frontlinetrench.
| % Let's make up our minds that we are
going to pay for a score of those trips. V
A score of the nights this winter shall be
our nights
—nights when the boys greet joy- (
ously the chocolate and cigarettes that
our momfey provided; and are happier
iv because our representative has passed.

"On* of the discoveries men aif

more pleasure can be had out of giv
ing than getting. Many a man who
has spent money freely In the old days
to buy pleasure Is finding that be gets
more pleasure over here by tho spend
ing of one's self In the service of others.
"A few months ago I went out with
• fellow Y. M. 0. A, secretary to hunt
up out-of-the-way detachments oi
troops. A stable guard here, a ma
chine gun company there, a platoon
somewhere ' else. We carried our
goods In an automobile. We had
plenty of writing paper and envelopes
-for free distribution, and chocolate,
cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking
tobacco, cigarettes, razor blades,
tooth pqste and things of that kind for
•ale. American war service workers
were busy everywhere. We found Sal
vation Army- lassies making doughnuts
for the boys and K. ot 0. secretaries
giving help. Books furnished by the
American Library Association were to
be seen on all sides.
"Hearing firing at a distance, we
drojjo down the road and found a
•core or so of men at machine gun
practice. The officer gave tho men
half an hour recess to buy goods.
"At another place we came In sight
•f a lieutenant drilling n platoon. I
•aid to the lieutenant: 'How soon be
fore you dismiss the company? We
bare Y. M. C. A. goods for sale.'
"He sold: 'Right now. Sergeant,
dismiss the company I'
" "And ten' seconds later the company
was In line waiting to bby goods from
our traveling T.' Grateful Is no name
for It. The men can't do enough to
. show their gratitude." «

In and tho work of tho big drive bad
hardly begun.
"I'm onto yonr stunt," the boy went
on as he swung a grimy fist over the
desk; "you're goln' to glvo us fellows
that ain't old enougli to go to war a
chance to earn an' give to back up a
fighter an' help win the war. Listen;

Tho crumpled ffl bill he dropped on

lion boys behind a million fighters"
who are to be lined up as Victory itoys
during the week of the drive.
There will be a division of Victory
Olrls, too, and every boy and every

Lincoln to His Critics
President Lincoln's advice to his
critics during the Civil War is apt
and \& the point at this time.
Here ■• what he sad to them :
"Gentlemen, suppose all tho prop
erty you were worth was in gold,
and yon had put it in the hands of
IHoodin, the light-rope walker, to
carry across tho Niagara river on a
rope. Would you shake the cable
and keep shouting otit tohim : 'Jilcn
din, stand tip a little straighter—
Blondin, stoop a little more to the
north —lean a Utile more to the
south?' No; you would hold your
breath as well as your tongue, and
keep yoor hands off until he was sate
over.
"The government is carrying an
immense weight in this war. Untold
treasure* are in its hands. It is do
ing the very best it can. Don't
I badger it. Keep silence and we'll
get you safely across."
