SELMA SCHOOL NOTES. The National Red Cross is the larg . e?t organization in the world for the relit f of suffering. It not only plays an important part in wars, but is a very vnluahle organisation in time of peace. In September, a Red Cross Chapter was organized in Selma, with about one hundred and fifty members. The school has furnished a room in which the rnvmbtrs of the Red Cross Fon 'ty meet for the purpose of roll ing bandage*, nr. king comfort bags, and var'' :s other articles necessary for the soldiers. The room is open Wednesday of each week. At present the members are packing bandages 10 be sent to France. They ulso ex pect to send thirty-four Christmas packages. They arc planning to or ganize a Junior Red Cross Chapter very soon. Of course, every boy and girl in the high school will be expect ed to join this organization. ? J. W. A. o Mr. E. H. Moser has been appointed chairman of the fuel committee for Johnston County by Mr. A. W. McAl lister, the State fuel administrator. ? R. K. Tin- high school boys are cleaning up the school yard and preparing to beautify the grounds. Mr. Moser has devised a plan which makes all the boy interested in the Clean Up Work. The boys are divided into four squads. The captains are Elmore Enrp, Hous ton Reynolds, Claiborne Massey, and Jennings Talton. As these leaders are. liked by the majority of the school boys, and as the boys ore allowed to work under which captain they pre fer, their best work can be accom plished. The school ground is divided into four different parts for the four squads, A friendly rivalry exists be tween the squads a > they are working to see which tenm can accomplish the lest results. The boys ere pruning1 the trees, leveling the grounds, pre paring to plant other trees, and shrubs, dragging, cleaning off tennis and basketball courts, and cleaning up fl&wer plots. To come to the point, they are striving to make the grounds {is beautiful as the building. ? R. W. Thursday morning, the Glee Club had chi ige of the Chapel exercises. Afar Mr. M oser had made a few en- 1 nouncemcnts to the school, the club santf two patriotic songs. The first wns, "You're a Granl Old Flag," the second, "Over There," by Irving Ber lin, with Elmore Earp singing the verse, aril the club joining in the chorus. Miss Fplger is doing very successful work with the Glee Club, j They are studying each Wednesday afternoon and their performance this morning shows that they are accom plishing results. ? E. V. o? ? We had a very interesting and en tertaining program for Thursday, No vember first. It was as follows: The devotional exercises were led by the chaplain. She read the 117th Psalm, and we repeated the Lord's Prayer. The secretary called the roll and read the minutes. There being no further business, an interesting program was rendered. First, there was a recita t;on, "The Elf Child," by Henrietta Smith. The current events were giv en by Grace Foster. She selected two very good and appropriate subjects to talk on, viz: "Our Soldiers in France," and "Our Second Liberty Loan Cam paign." There was another recitation, "Raising the Flag," given by Marjo rie Richardson. The next thing on the program was a short play, given by Zilphia Fulfrhum, Fannie Wellons, Bertha Moser, and Miriam Brietz. On account of scarcity ' of material for four players, and lack of time to se cure another, they used "The Throe Bears." They made it much more in teresting by adding seme original dra matization. All parts were well play ed. Then came the debate. The query was, "Resolved, That girls should take part in Athletics." Affirmative ? Sydney Vinson, Ruth Worley, and Elizabeth Earp. Negative ? Rose Wilkinson, Marga ret Cameron and Esther Vinson. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. We had the critic's report and we then adjourned. Our next meeting will be Thursday, November eighth. Any visitors will be welcome at any of our meetings. ? M. B. ... ? M - ft. The second performance of the Ly ceum was given last Monday night, November fifth, 1917, in the school au ditorium. The Winona Entertainers, Miss Josephine Greilick, Miss Eliza beth Chancy, and Mr. Burrows Cald well gave a very enjoyable program of songr., impersonations, and violin solos. Miss Chaney's violin solos seemed to be enjoyed more than any thing else, although the other enter tainers were good. Her rendition of "Alaha, Farewell to Thee" seemed to be most highly appreciated. The pro "Your Flag and My Flag," recited by Mr. Caldwell, accompanied by the pia no and violin. Thi? was very effec tive. The next Lyceum performance will be given November twen'y-sev enth.? C. L. R. CAMP JACKSON NOTKS. (By H. V. R.) We are having very bright, cool, frosty weather in the Camp now. Mr. \V. An Ri se, of Rocky Mount, visited the camp last Sunday for a short while. Several visitors from Johnston County spent last Sundi.y in the camp. We note Messrs. J. W. Barnes and John Batten, of Archer Ix>dge, and Me srs. Henry Eason, Daniel Wall, O'ho Culley, and others from Clayton. "Old Glory" now waves on a flag pole so high that it can be seen from any point of the whole camp. The r . sing ceremonies took place on Wednesday of last week and were con ducted in one of the most august styles of any event that has taken place since the chopping of the first bush away back in July. The Y. M. C. A. this week is pre senting o military play: "The White Feather." It is a two-dollar show in ?< Columbia theatre, but the soldiers here see it for ten cents. Last week they had a female sextette from Chi ago and a Dr. Usher and a Mr. lien Scoville. I)h Usher was in Armenia during tlie great fight at the Darda nelles, and his lectures were mainly descriptions of how the Christians of that country suffered at the hands of the "unspeakable Turks." Mr. Sco ville is an old actor and a veteran of the Boer War. He was in France dur ing the great battle of Verdun and was an aid to the Red Cross Relief and the Y. M. C. A. Me pictured (!er man warfare far more brutal than the most anti-German American news papers report. The Y. M. C. A. force here in Camp Jackson at present is quartered in barracks, end their aid to the soldiers is far from what it soon will be. With in a short while a splendid building will be completed expressly for this organization, and then all their enter tainments will be given under more satisfactory conditions. They then will give free lesons in French and free moving picture shows. You folks up home, who didn't buy a Liberty Bond, could do wonders with your uninvest ed dollars by throwing in one every now and then to th? Y. M. C. A. or (he Red Cross. Success to the Johnston County Fair for the good year 1917. November (5, 1917. Camp Jackson, S. C. In Memory of Our Dear Sister. Mrs. Eva Eugenia Dupre<- died at her home, October 19th. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Stancil. She was married to Clauae L. Dupree, April 18, ll>09, r.nd to this union five children were born, four boys and one girl. The girl died twen ty-one months ago. Dear sister was born September 20, 1889, age '28 years, one month. Although she had been in failing health for several months her death was a great shock to the community. There was never a more devoted wife and mother than she, always ready to lend a helping hand to any who needed assistance. She had a sweet disposition, was kind, loving and true, always, from child hood. She never united with any church but was a Primitive Baptist in belief. She talked of her great dreams and craved to be baptized scv . ral months back in the summer. Her grandmother died only a few hours before she passed away. Dear mama stood by the bedside of her dear mother and saw her pass away, and in a few hours went to see her daughter and saw her pass away. Both were buried in the same grave yard only 24 hours apart. Dear sister leaves a husband, four little boys, the oldest seven years and the youngest two weeks old, a mother, Mrs. Mary A. Stancil, three sisters, one brother and grandfather, William II. Dupree, besides a number of other relativer and friends to mourn their loss. Her body was laid to rest by the sidu-of her little daughter in the pres ence of a large crowd of sorrowing relatives and friends. Her grave was covered in beautiful flowers. When all was done, by a request, the song: "Shall We Meet Beyond the River Where the Surges Cease to Roll," was sung. A BROKEN-HEARTED SISTER.

The superintend ent and moit of the teachers of the Kenly State High School attended the first regular meeting of the Johnston County teachers at Smijhfield Satur day. Superintendent M. B. Andrews addressed the teachers on this sub ject: "Th? Word of Our School Libra ry." Ho told the teachers that our j lil.rary contains the complete works of Shakespeare, and several other of th?- most prominent English writers, that it contains the cream of English and American literature, that it con tains a rather comprehensive bio graphical sketch of most of the lead- j ing men of the world, that it re ceived regularly several daily and weekly papers of the State, and that some two dozen of thd best National weekly and monthly magazines come to the library Regularly. The people of this community are to be congrat- i ulatcd upon the spl* ndid collection of literature and information that our library contains. The doors are op ?*n daily to all of the high school stu dents, and they are open to the public j from three to five o'clock each after noon. Both of the school literary societies rendered excellent programs "Friday afternoon. The subject for debate was: "Resolved, That- the United States Government should run a mer rhant marine." It is interesting to observe that the affirmative side won in each society. Two of the Thalian girls discussed the life and works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, while two of the Rollins boys presented a study of Oliver Goldsmith. The subject for debate next Friday afternoon is: "Resolved, That the Gary school plan should be adopted by all the large American cities." Friday morning a public "Arbor Day" program was rendered in the high school auditorium by practically all of the students in the primary and el< incntary departments of the school assisted by some of the students from the music class. The stage was beau tifully decorated with pine trees, ferns, wandering jew, and mistletoe. Professor Andrews spoke briefly on the glories and joys of outdoor life, after which he read the first "Psr.lm" which characterizes a good man "As a tree planted by rivers of water." The students were trained by the following teachers: Miss Rena Edgerton, Miss [Augusta McKeither, Miss Gladys Wal lace, Mrs. II. P. Johnson, and Miss Le na Marley. The program was pleas ant and impressive. The honor roll fur the month of Oc tober is as lfolows: First Grade?

Blnckman, of Micro, was here Thursday to attend the Fair and showed us some applies of sec ond crop. They are ripe and have the color of the first crop, though hardly half the regular size. They are of the Ben Davis variety. School To Have Portrait of Lee. Mrs. Will McCullers has been ap pointed chairman of a committee of ladies residing in different sections of the State to place portraits of famous men. heroes and other notables, in the public schools of the State. Mrs. Mc Cullers wishes to begin this worthy work by placing a life-size oil por trait of Gen. Robert E. Lee in the au ditorium of the Clayton Graded School. The portrait will be painted by one of the State's best known ar tists, and will be full of meaning and rich in instruction and inspiration to our students, and will exert a benefi cent influence upon the public. ? Clay ton News. COTTON PRICES LESS VARYING. Narrower I'rices Fluctuarions, with Some Net Advance ? Ginning Con sidered Bullish. ? Following weeks of wide fluctua tion'- , it has sc nied a rather novel ex perience to e cotton prices move within a comparatively narrow range. Doth before Election Day and most of the time afterward, the action of the market was less striking than in the recent past, r.nd yesterday ended with a difference of enly about 30 points in ?.he option list from the closing figure <?f last Saturday. But this difference was to the advantage of speculative holders, and prevailing ?juotations are only soni" $3 under the record levels r a' hed on the October rise. Except for the ginning statement #and the itu.->sian events, there wns little to affect the price situation, and people have become more accustomed to esti mate of less thon 11,000,000 bah ?>, ex cluding l'nters, for this season's yield, though not everyone is yei disposed to c iceelc that the crop will actually prove st:> small. More will be known about this matter when the Govern ment's forecast is made early in De cember, and, meanwhile, the Census Bureau's report, issued on Tuesday of this week, disclosed 7,150,000 bales ginned to November 1. These figures did not meet some expectations and were, rcughly, 1,474,00 bales under last yenr's total of 8,624,000 baled. After the appearance of the report, there was a good rise in prices on some fresh speculative buying and covering by short*, and while the advance was quickly lost on the distributing news from Russia, the market again turned stronger on Friday. ? Dun's Review, 10th. . ELEVEN GOOD REASONS. Why Approve the $33,000,000 V. M. C. A. War Fund. 1. Young men by the hundreds of thousands are giving their liv.;s: Oth ers should give time and money. 2. The average man has been blessed with prosperity during these late years. Increase in wealth has i n beyond the increase in cost. We need to learn sacrifice in order that the nation may be saved. I}. President Wilson and officers of the Army and Navy want this work. W ? must back them. (See President's executive order). t. The soldiers want this work. They are daily giving testimony to that. 5. If we do not support the Ameri can Army we shall be called upon to support the German Army. 6. The vital relation that this work sustains to the winning of the war and the hastening of th? end of the war. This can be proven out of the mouths of the generals. (See Per shing's dispatches and others). 7. The request and desire of the allies. Can we turn a deaf car? 8. "Morale is to other factors in war as three to one." We must safe guard and build up morale. We must feed and refresh the spirit of men. 9. It is social strategy to save the ideals of our men for the future of our country. Shall the young men who ~go forth to represent us over seas come home with bodies shot through with disease, or shall they come back as pillo\vs of strength ? There are no zones of safety over there. 10. This is a crisis. We must act quickly. We must cut into our prin cipal. The man who goes overseas gives more than his income. Our giv ing must be of the same quality. He will cut a year out of his life. Why not we? 11. This is a National Community Movement ? under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., but not for the Y. M. C. A. Lack of Charm Cause of Divorces. Madame Sarah Bernhardt, the great French actress, in a signed arti cle in the November issue of Har per's Bazar, attributes the numerous divorces thr.t have come into the courts of late years to lack of charm in the women concerned. "If I stood at the threshold of life," says Mme. Bernhardt, "asking of it something with which to buy happi ness, I should beg for charm. For if one has charm, she will be loved. And a woman must have love tcr be happy. Beauty does not matter. If a woman has charm she can secure whatever she wants ? love, success, power." But the Divine Sarah also says that this invaluable quality can be culti vated. and her prescription in Har per's Bazar reveals the secret. PERSHING'S MEN GAVE $5,812,600. Subscriptions To Second Liberty Loan Showing Equals in Proportion to Subscription of First Contingent. With the American Army in France, Nov. 8. ?
