Congratulations had beer extended to Mrs. D. L. Bell upon her recovery. The Registrar, Mrs. Walker Blair, reported one paper and certificate which had passed through her hands since last meeting. Mrs. J. C. Lanius, chairman of Me morial Committee reported evergreen wreaths and flags for two Confeder ate veterans, Messrs. John M. Mclver, of Gulf, and Eli. C. Brewer, of Bear Creek. Mrs. London stated that she had recently learned that Mr. Brid gers, another veteran, was dead on the same day. It has always been the custom of the Daughters to place ov er the Confederates, whether a pri vate or a general, an evergreen wreath, tied with red ribbon and a flag. This being the regular time for el ecting officers, the following were el ected for the ensuing year: It w T as moved, seconded and unanim ously carried that Mrs. Henry A. Lon don be elected president for life and that she be elected by acclamation. First vice-president, Mrs. W. M. Eu banks; second vice-president, Mrs. J. C. Lanius; third vice-president, Mrs. H. H. Fike; fourth vice-president, Mrs. J. R. Milliken; registrar, Mrs. Jacob Thompson; recording secretary, Mar garet Womble: corresponding secre tary, Mrs. J. M. Gregory; historian, Mrs. Fletcher Mann. Mrs. Henry A. London then stated that this was more than a regular meeting of the Chapter, it being the twenty-fifth birthday of the Winnie Davis Chapter. This Chapter was or ganized October 8, 1898, with the fol lowing charter members: Mrs. Henry A. London, Mrs. Gideon Alston, Mrs. J. M. Leach, Mrs. W. R. Hunter, Mrs. J. C. Lanius, Mrs. Burkhead Mann, Miss Maggie Horne, Miss Carrie Jack SOUTHERN RAILWAY Southern produce for Northern markets y\ffj§ Carrying the products of Southern orchards and gardens to Northern markets has become one gyjyV °f the most important services of the Southern V T '/ The tonnage of fruits and vegetables hauled is three times what it was fifteen years ago and double what it was ten years ago, and now equals the cotton tonnage. Building up this great market for Southern pro duce, which increases the prosperity of the South, would not have been possible without dependable transportation, and this the Southern has provided. Transportation of perishable freight on the Southern Railway System is a model of its kind -a special service that emphasizes the fact / that the Southern serves the South. j [ SOUTHERN I . ha-.. son, Miss Annie Brewer, Miss Lou Home, Miss Sallie London and Miss Julia Bynum. She further stated that it was at first up hill work. The in fant Chapter had to be pushed, pull ! ed, and steadied until it is now a ' ( splendid chapter doing fine work for the Confederate cause. She paid a L well-deserved compliment to all of the members who had helped her so saith s fully to accomplish this end. We have * helped living veterans, marked and • placed wreaths and flags over the » dead, built a beautiful monument, helped in every phase of the state " Confederate work, and used our in fluence to get increased pensions foi f | our veterans, and worked to keep his ‘ tory straight. This is the wonder of ' our cause that the survivors of the l Gray greet the victors of the Blue as I brothers. But the idea of forgetting f the war between the states is foolish ' for two very good reasons. The first is that all malice died years ago; the second is that the spirit of the Con federacy and the memory of the men and women of the Confederacy is a priceless possession which makes the South the richest land in the world. When there are no men or women left who call themselves Southerners then will be time enough to talk of for getting. Mrs. London thanked the Chapter for its loving thought of her and hop ed that we would do still better work next year. The president called on the dele gates to the Greensboro U. D. C. con vention for report of proceedings. Mrs. W. M. Eubanks, Mrs. James Griffin, and Mrs. Julian Gregory gave a synopsis of the convention’s work. One of the most interesting features was the Jefferson Davis Highway, No. 75, that will run from the North through the South, passing through Pittsboro. The markers will have a red, white and red stripe with Jef ferson Davis Highway, a beautiful memorial to our Confederate Presid ent. | To do anything we need money which we hope to make at the Ba- ! zaar the first week in December. A beautiful collection of articles were contributed, admired and turned over to Miss Evelyn Alston, custodian. Mrs. London appointed a committee to take charge. The various committees that will have charge of the Confederate ba zaar, to be held the first week in De cember, have been appointed and are as follows: Bazaar committee—Mrs. J. M. Gregory, chairman; and vice-chairman as follows: Mesdames E. A. Farrell, J. C. Lanius, Fletcher Mann, Jacob Thompson, W. D. Siler, Lee Farrell, Arthur London, E. R. Hinton, Jas. L. Griffin, V. R.

Bazaar treasurer—Miss Margaret Womble. Chairmen of Children’s Booth— Misses Carrie M. Jackson and Mar garet Home. While singing Confederate songs, a beautiful birthday cake was brought i in with twenty-five red, blazing can -3 dies, at which time Mrs. London of t sered the following toast to the Chap - ter and each member: “Ladies, come join with me, 1 We will drink to the health of the r U. D. C.. a Not in wine, for that is not now fine 2 But with coffee strong We will lift our son, e For myself, long life to you all, 1 Be you large or small, e And to Winnie Davis Chapter which ;, * is twenty-five, e May it always keep alert and alive - And always work for veterans true r Who did so much for the South and you.” f ' The cake was then cut and served e together with other delicious cake and s cream with after dinner coffee. r Between the courses a contest of i the Confederate battles was held, Mrs. t V. R. Johnson winning the prize, a ; beautiful bunch of chrysanthemums. MARGARET WOMBLE, i Secretary. i i SOME NEWSPAPER RULES ; A Texas editor recently issued the i following rules which explain them selves: | “Fifty cents per line will be charg ■ ed for all obituary notices of business men who get their job printing in an other city; twenty-five cents per line | will be charged for like notices to all j business men who do not advertise, I while delinquent subscribers will be 1 charged 15 cents per line on passing out the New Jerusalem. .Advertisers and cash-subscriberds will receive the best there is in the shop free-grat is when they shuffle off. “Those who extend the paper no support whatsoever and go around knocking the editor, or the paper, or lambasting the community and its ci tizens, drop banana peelings on the sidewalks, spit like a dime, or try to sell us a gold brick, will be given the I truth, which won’t look good in print when they give up the ghost. “Better send in your orders for job printing and advertising, pay up your subscriptioin, get to boosting this pa per and its editor and speak in glow ing terms of the town and its people, for an epidemic of hog cholera is said to be around in this community.” City Papers Auto Crash Lists Chicago newspapers all conduct a motor-accident column. A big black number in a “box” announces each day to the readers of the Chicago Herald and Examiner how many per sons have been killed by automobiles in Chicago since January 1. The num recently given was 519, and right be low it was printed the line, “Don’t kill the five hundred and twe-tieth.” For every day of last year 38 per sons were killed by automobile acci dents in the United States. In 109 cities there was one death during the year for every 1,000 cars registered. Last year 75,300 persons lost their lives in the United States through accident—one death in five being due to the automobile.
