Mothers Treat
Colds Externally
The Dangers of “Dosing” Colds Now
Avoided by Use of Modem
Vaporizing Ointment
When Vicks Vapoßub was intro
duced, mothers especially were
quick to appreciate it, because it is
just rubbed on and cannot upset
children’s delicate stomachs, as “dos
ing” is so apt to do. Today, the whole ■
trend of modem medicine is away
from needless “dosing.”
As more and more mothers adopt
ed this modem external treatment,
the fame of Vicks spread until today
it is the standby for colds—adults’
as well as children’s —in over 60
countries.
Just rubbed on throat and chest,
Vicks acts through the skin like a
plaster; and, at the same time its
medicated vapors, released by the
body heat, are inhaled direct to the
inflamed air-passages, loosening the
phlegm and easing the difficult
breathing.
Ever-increasing demand for this
better method of treating colds is
shown in the familiar Vick slogan.
Made famous when Vicks reached
*‘l7 Million Jars Used Yearly”—
later raised to ”21 Million”—there
are now “Over 26 Million Jars Used
Yearly.” I
Horace Wheeler as
Mrs. Wiggins’ Slayer
A part of the carefully guarded
notes of Deputy Sheriff M. V. Wig
gins, who conducted a tireless in
vestigation of the case since the day
of the tragedy, became public pro
perty Tuesday and Horace Wheeler,
loom fixer in Loray Mills, and one
of the nine released by the Gaston
County grand jury on October 24,
stood positively identified by an eye
witness as the slayer of Ella Mae
Wiggans.
The identification furnished the cli
max of the second day of the third
investigation into the shooting of the
woman, who was one of a truck load
of members of the National Textile
Workers, Communistled organiza
tion, turned back from Gastonia
where they had started on Septem
ber 14 to attend a Communistrally
and stopped and fired upon by an
alleged anti-Communist mob five
miles out on route 20 in the direc
tion of Bessemer City.
A total of 13 of the 16 defen
dants arrested yesterday on bench
warrants issued by Judge P. A. Mc-
Elroy, sent here by Governor Gard
ner to sit as a committing magi
strate and make full inquiry into the
case which had been before both a
Gaston County coroner’s jury and
grand jury without action by the
latter, stood identified as members
of the alleged mob as the result of
the day’s testimony.
Witnesses Meet Test
There were 13 state’s witnesses
examined, including three physicians.
They were vigorously cross-examined
by the four defense attorneys, but
save on a few minor points, could
not be shaken despite the gruelling
method adopted of having witnesses
identify defendants by coming down
from the stand and passing along the
file of glaring men and actually
touching the person they sought to
identify.
This procedure was adopted at the
insistance of the defense after
George Lingerfelt, driver of the
truck, had testified that he saw one
of the defendants with a shotgun,
and asked to point him out stated:
“It was the one with the blue
necktie.”
There were five defendants wear
ing blue ties, but Troy Jones, wear
ing a tan and blue combination,
promptly stood up.
This met with audible displeasure
on the part of the defense lawyers
and they moved to prevent a re
currence.
Pollard Conceded as
Governor of Virginia
The election of John Garland Pol
lard, Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor of Virginia, was conceded at
10:40 p. m. Wed. by E. E. Johnson,
campaign manager for Dr. Williams
Mosely Brown, anti-Smith and Repub
lican nominee. .
* 'Leading iff every congressional dis- j
trict and almost every county, John
Garland Polard, Democratic candid
ate for governor, held a lead of 41,-
620 votes when more than half the
state had reported unofficially Wed.
With 888 precincts out of 1,683 re
ported, Pollard had 82,360 votes to
40,740 for Dr. William Moseley
Brown, gubernatorial candidate of
the anti-Smith Democrats and Rep
ublicans.
Brown’s small majority in several
normally Republican counties in the
'southwest, failed to prevent the Dem
ocratic candidate’s lead from increas
ing as additional returns poured in.
The Democratic nominee continued
to increase the lead started with the
first precincts to report as additional
returns came in.
The returns, scattered throughout
the State, showed the Democratic
nominee holding a substantial lead
in many sections regarded as strong
holds of his oppenent. Brown drew a
heavy vote in the Eight Congres
sional district near Washington and
also in Roanoke.

“I wish I could tell every one of

I’ve been benefited by Sargon.
“I was in a street car wreck eigh
teen months ago and the shock com

get a good night’s rest, there was
such a ringing noise in my head, and
my legs ached so bad. I was losing

“Five bottles built me up from
130 pounds to 143 and every pain I
had disappeared! That ringing noise
in my head cleared up, I sleep fine
and my strength and vitality have
been completely restored. I used

Robert A. McPherson, young Wash

North Carolina girl, was found dead
in her bathroom some weeks ago, will
go on trial for her murder. This is
the latest development in the rapidly
moving case which has involved the
whole subject of police inefficient and

in law inforcement at the national
capital. The police reported the case
suicide and stopped at that; Senator
Blease demanded an investigation and

Kiwanians Warned
of “Lunatic Fringe”
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
Rev. Bruce Benton, pastor of the
Rockingham Baptist church, was the
speaker of last week’s Kiwanis Club
meeting. The preacher took as his
subject that phrase from one of
Ambassador Dawes’ recent speeches,
“the lunatic friage.” Mr. Benton
compared modern western civiliza
tion with its hustle and bustle and
jazz and its paramounting of Things,
with the eastern philosophy of con
tentment and contemplation as the
chief end of man. He pleaded for
more attention to cultural things
and not so much to the purely mater
ial.

Collector Grissom
Starts Third Term
Gilliam Grisson, colector of inter
nal revenue for North Carolina with
headquaters at Raleigh, has started
cn his third term in office. He served
through the Harding and Coolidge
regimes and a few days ago was re
appointed by President Hoover for
another four years. Mr. Grissom col
lects the second largest amount of
revenue p*aid by any state and does
it at the lowest cost of any state. The
two hundred and fifty milion dolars
collected by his officers last year
cost just a little more than six cents
.for each hundred dolars.
PENNEY MAY START
DAIRY FARM HERE
(From The Hamlet News-Messenger)
J. C. Penney, head of the depart
ment store chain operating 14,000
retail stores, is also tremendously in
terested in dairying. He has done a
lot for the south in establishing de
monstration dairy farms in several
states. Last week Mr. Penny visited
the Coker farms at Hartsville and
let out the information that he was
considering location of one of his
dairy farms somewhere in the Pee
Dee section of South Carolina. Such
a move on his part would be worth
a lot to this entire section.
ASHEVILLE BAPTISTS
WANT DR. TRUETT
Asheville Baptists want Dr.
George W. Truett of Dallas, Texas,
as pastor of the biggest church there,
a vacancy in the pulpit having occur
red. Dr. Truett is reconized as one
of the outstanding preachers of the
United States, and all of North Caro
lina is interested in the call sent him
from the mountain city. It is a mat
ter that goes beyound denomination
al feeling, for a man of Dr. Truett’s
type is bigger than any organization.
But it is very doubtful that Dr.
Truett can be pulled away from his
rreat Dallas church. It has been
often tried, but always unsuccessful.

CALLS ON RED CROSS
INCREASE: RESPONSE
TO ROLL CALI URGED
Society’s Activities Reach Millions
Each Year—Chairman Payne
Asks Generous Support in
Membership.
Disaster relief work, service to dis
abled veterans and their families, pub
lie health work and its many other
activities caused expenditures of sll,-
064,000 by the American Red Cross
for the year ended June 30, 1929, ac
cording to the annual report of the
organization.
This work by the Red Cross Is sup
ported by the annual Roll Call foi
members, which is held from Armis
tice Day to Thanksgiving Day, No
vember 11 to 28.
Directing attention to the heavy ex
penditnres by the Red Cross during
the past year, and to the fact that
the organization was called- upon for
assistance in 120 disasters In the
United States and Its Insular posses
sions, Judge John Barton Payne, the
chairman, said:
“The Red Cross Is a volunteer so
ciety, supported by Its membership,
and belongs to all of the citizens.
While it is a semi-governmental
agency In that the President of the
United States is its president, and one
third of its governing board are rep
resentatives of Government depart
ments, yet it receives no financial sup
port from the Government.
“Funds for our work for war vet
erans and their families, for carrying
on disaster relief, for our varied
health activities, the life saving and
first aid work and our many other ac
tivities, all are derived from the mem
bership fee. The public is asked only
once each year—at the Annual Roll
Call —to join in this support of the
Red Cross.”
The Red Cross expended an aver
age of $936,000 per year In the past
seven years, in disaster relief work,
from its own treasury, statements
show. The work for world war vet
erans also has caused heavy expendi
tures.
HEALTH PRESERVATION
IS AIM OFRED CROSS
Society Employs Rural Public
Health Nurses—Teaches First
Aid and Life Saving.
♦
A comprehensive, nation-wide pro
gram to prevent illness, and to save
lives through proper nursing care and
advanced methods of life saving and
first aid Is fostered by the American
Red Cross.
The organization la the largest em
ployer of rural public health nurses
in the United States, through Its
Chapters. The policy of the Red
Cross is to encourage its Chapters to
extend the public health nursing serv

not taken by some other agency in the
community.
The Red Cross health and life sav
ing campaign embraces the following:
preservation of health through skilled
nursing care: prevention of loss ot
life in accidents: prevention of illness
through cleanliness in the home and
knowledge of methods of home care
of the sick and raising the standard
of health and physical efficiency
through proper nutrition.

taught: 149,000 children were instruct
ed in proper eating through the Nu
trition course: 46.898 individuals
passed the severe Red Cross tests in
Life Saving and 52.596 persons passed
the rigid examinations in the First

Red Cross in the United States and
insular possessions is 6.875.000, ,anc
is largely through grade and high
schools and private scfrools. The or
ganization is governed by the boyF
and girls. One of its chief feature?
is conduct of international corre
3pondence with schools of other na
tions, through exchange of albums anc
small gifts. The American Junior?
sent 85.000 Christmas boxes of smal
gifts to children of many nations las?

AID FOB VETERANS
IS RED GROSS PLEDGE
Service and Ex-Service IVSen Are
Helped in All Problems.
Service to World War veterans in
hospital, for able-bodied veterans, and
for dependent families of both called
for expenditures of $738,000 by the
American Red Cross during the year
just ended. In addition, Red Cross
Chapters spent $1,969,000 In veteran
relief, and also for men still in service.
Although eleven years have passed
since the Armistice, there remain
25,500 disabled and sick veterans of
the World War in hospitals, and the
peak of the number who will require
hospitalization Is not expected by
Veterans Bureau authorities to be
reached until 1947. For these men,
the Red Cross must continue its serv
ice of providing recreation and com
forts, according to James L. Fieser,
vice chairman of the Red Cross.
“Under Its Charter from Congress,
the Red Cross is required to maintain
service for veterans of wars and for
the men still in the service,” Mr.
Fieser said. “The funds for this work
come from the annual roll call mem
bership fees. In addition to the sum
spent in maintaining contact with the
veterans, the Red, Cross expended
$308,000 in its service to the men still
in the regular Army, Navy and Marine
Corps. The society and a majority of
Its 3,500 chapters handle claims for
these men for insurance, compensation
and other benefits they are entitled to
under the law, and also where neces
sary arranges to provide for depen
dents of the men.
“Red Cross workers are maintained
In forty-eight Veterans Bureau Hos
pitals, as well as in all regular Army
and Navy hospitals, whose duty it is
to supervise recreational facilities for
the patients, and to provide small com
forts. In the Army and Navy Hos
pitaln, the workers also do social serv
ice for the patients. These tasks also
are performed at all Army Posts and
Navy Ports by Red Cross workers, and
in addition Red Cross representatives
to handle claims are established at the
majority of Veterans Bureau regional
offices.”
Mr. Fieser urged that all citizens
enroll in the Roll Call, from Armistice
Day to Thanksgiving Day, Novembej
11 to 28, in order to aid In supporting
this work.
NEW CROPS IN FLOODED
STATES BRING PROSPERITY
The Introduction of new habits ol
planting, following the Mississippi Val
ley flood of 1927, has brought added
prosperity to farmers In many of the
Mississippi Delta counties, according
to Red Cross officials.
Almost every cabin has a fine vege
table garden, whereas cotton formerly
grew right to the doorstep, the Rea
Cross states. The home demonstration
and agricultural agents ti.ve followed
up the project inaugurated by the Red
Cross, immediately after the flood oi
1927, with very gratifying success
There is a large acreage in corn
whereas formerly cotton was the one
crop. Alfalfa has gained a firm foot
hold, and the growing of this crop is
bringing good financial returns from
the three or four cuttings each year
Live stock also is showing improve
ment due to these new crops.
Everything considered, the Delte
sections which escaped a backwatei
problem In the Spring of 1929 are in b
prosperous condition, as a result ol
the follow-up and rehabilitation by the
American Red Cross.
