POLK COUNTY RED CROSS.. The whole American people will be j mviiea in the week preceding Christ mas to enroll as members of Amer ican: Red Crosse Polk county should at least have a thousand members. If the present four hundred and fifty eight all renew their memberships we will have to do some hustling to reach that thousand mark. But we can reach it and we must. It is confidently believed that fhpvp need be n& further campaigns for the Kea cross runds, but, instead, the an nual roll call will constitute the mon ey foundation for the Red Cross. The beneficent work of the Ameri can Red Cross is to go forward on a great scale not alone for purposes of relief of war, but as an agency of peace and permanent human service. Remember all the Red Cross has done for. you and your boys. Then see if you cannot secure three new member ships. Every one must help in the campaign for loyal members. Mrs. Lindsey asks that att knitted articles be turned in by the end of the campaign if possible. The Southern division, comprising North and South Carolina, Georgia, Florida and Tennessee must furnish forty thousand refugee garments in the next six weeks. All sewers' are asked to hold themselves in readiness to work as soon as called upon. w. s. s "AND AT EVENING IT SHALL BE LIGHT."

So one will dispute the fact that it impossible for a town any more .an an individual, to stand still un ss iirmly anchored and if Tryon has 'ached that stage then it? is time to pound "Taps" for her as a resort flown.

Our mountainous scenery is grand, atmosf heio fine and water exception ally eoo.l. hut it tftlces more than that to compose a real resort. People are not going to leave their well heated city homes where they can find some Kind of amusement within a short allcing or ridintr distance and come to Tryon and sit around all winter with "Nothing tn dn until tomorrow." o - fhis does not sound erood, and as v;e thought, some people have taken exception to our stand, but they do not attempt to say we are wrong. It we were livinsr in a lumber camp or inning town we could not blame the people but to live in a town with the amount of talent as Trvon contains, pecting Reonle to come amongrst us KJtkin? for n vpsnrt rmd tr lparn that they .have come to a typical "Sleepy Hollow" instead makes us wonder who is to blame.

This Bible promise has been fulfill ed in the life of our neighbor and friend, Mrs. Charles Ferris. Born to beauty, luxury and devo tion, she swung the whole circle to old age, suffering, and as far as the ordinary ties of life are concerned to absolute loneliness, but to the last hour when she said "I am dying" though she could not turn her body in bed, she was giving thanks for the power to work for others, in some cases, to warn of sin, in others to comfort under affliction in others to give material relief. Almost at the last she bethought her of pieces of antique china, gold and silver. These she promptly turn, ed over to a friend to be sold for the benefit of Missions. A few days before she had parted i with her beautiful piano for less than half its value (Mr. Russell who had just tuned it pronounces it worth as it stands one thousand dollars), taking great pleasure in what she could do with the money, and in the thought that her old friends in the Lanier Club would enjoy its sweet tones. Her taking leave of it partook of the finality which in these latter days marked all her actions. Saying to Mr. Rowell, who was superintending its transfer, "I shall not hear it again, I wish you Would play for me." While Edward Streadwick and his force waited the notes of a selection which she loved floated up to her. At once she turned to other -tbouchts and occupations. We are apt to think in these days of the newly developed business wo men, the driving club woman, the au tomobile driver that the type of the remote saintly woman has ceased to exist. Mrs. Ferris is a proof that she will not fade from the earth, while high thinking, noble living and vital faith have their place here below. J. H. W. S. s. A FLIGHT OF LARKS. Mr., and Mrs. M. C.

If we were to listen to a large num ber of Americans regarding the mak ing of peace terms withGermany and her allies we would lose all the fruits of our victory. The great trouble with the German nation is that it does not yet acknowledge its defeat, or the enormity of thg crime it has commit ted against civilization. So well has the German propogandist played his hand in the past, and for that matter is still busy, that a large number of our people have become befuddled over the situation and are allowing sympathy to get the better of their horse sense. For a nation to act as Germany has, and to escape punishment can hardly be thought of by the allied powers. The peace conference at Versailles will soon be held, and the greatest questions ever brought before civi lized nations will confront thp allips. It is time that our people should lav aside all sentiment and look at the. matter in its true light. No one can blame Germany for wanting to escape with as light pun ishment as possible, still at the same time the aliles should not allow that une or talk to influence them in a peace settlement. The hand of the Hun Junker is plainly seen in everv move that is made in Germany. All this talk about revolution is bosh, for we see at the head of the revolution ists such men as Hindenburg and his uk, patiently awaiting the time until the people are divided into so many groups as to make an agreement im possible, then will the ex-Kaiser and his crowd appear on the scene and again take control of the situation. There is only one way to prevent this, and that "is to exact such terms of Germany as to make her powerless as aworid iactor for .hfe nextcen- cury. j.hat js going to be the only way to make her see herself as others see her. Germany is money mad, and the only penalty that she can under stand and have the desired effect is to assess such indemnities against her as to keep her busy for the next century paying off this burden. The burden must be so heavy as not to be misun derstood by the people of that be nighted country. All signs of kind- Rock SpringA"yscho6r ' started last Monday, Miss Elizabeth. Thompson as teacher.

Another thing we must not allow for such treaties to be made with Germany as to allow her -to dump ner manufactured articles upon this coun try in payment of her indemnity, and thus cripple our own industries. How she is to make the money to make the payments is her problem. But we do not intend to, in a round .about way pay it for her by buying manufac tured articles at cheap prices. She must solve her own problem in that respect. Lloyd-George voices our ideas to a T" in the matter, when he said. speaking upon the subject, recently: "Whatever happens, Germany is not going to be allowed to pay the in demnity by dumping cheap goods up on us. lhat is the only limit in prin ciple we are laying down. She must not be allowed to pay for her wanton damage and devastation by dumping cheap goods and wrecking our indus tries. There is a third and last point. Is no one to be made responsible for the war : borne body has been responsi ble for a war that has taken the lives of millions of the best young men of Europe. Is not anyone to be made responsible for that? If not all I can say is that if that is there is one justice for criminal and another for emperprs. "We have got so to act now that men in the tuture who feel tempted to follow the example of the rulers who plunged the world into this war will know what is awaiting them at the end of it. We shall have to see that this terrible war, which has in flicted so much destruction on the world ; which has arrested the course of civilization and in many ways put it back; which has left marks on the min'ds, upon the physique and the hearts of myriads in many lands that this generation will not see ouliterat- ed--we must see by the action we take now, just, fearless and relent less, that it is a crime that shall never again be repeated in the history of the world. w.s s.
