NEAR EAST RELIEF
v-'.' FORCES OF STATE
Col. Bellamy, Director, Issues
Interesting Statement
, Lauding Big Men
(Special to The Star)
CHARLOTTE. Oct., 14.—Angus M.
McLean of Lumberton former assistan
secretary of the treasury, is the latest
addition to the state executive com
mittee of the Near East Relief, it was
announced today by Col. Georgei R.
Bellamy, state chairman of this great
humanitarian organization • '
This committee is composed of tne
leading men and women of the state
who believe in the merits of this great
Christian enterprise of saving from
starvation an entire nation over 3,000
miles away. It is headed by Josephus
Daniels as honorary state chairman.
Governor Morrison is a pleading mem
ber of it. >
“When such big men as Angus Mc
Lean and others who are, sponsoring
this work in North Carolina fire inter
ested, and when the public gives as
they did to this great cause last year,
there can be no doubt of its merit,
Col. Bellamy stated in making this an
nouncement. “There are many who
wonder why we have to continue year
after year pouring money into this
trouble area.
“When this country rejected Wood
row Wilson’s proposals we made our
selveS liable to just what has happen
ed—not any more so than, the greedy
nations of Europe, but because they
will let sufferers for Christ and the
Allied offensive against Germany
starve to death is no reason why
America do it.
“We had planne dto reduce quotas
starting July 1 last but the Lausanne
treatv, as has been published in press
reports, threw over 1,000,000 refugees
on our hands. These unfortunates from
the Armenian and Greek territory
which the AWies handed over to Turkey
in return for their - commercial good
will are now on the shores of the
Black Sea.”
’We are feeding them until they can
■ find other havens of refuge-and in so
doing we have depleted our orphanage
stocks of fod on faith that the Aemrt
can people would replenish them as
they did when we fed the Smyrna re
fugees last year.”
“As the orphans we are feeding be
come old enough apd large enough to
. support their selves, we place them
. where they can earn their own living.
Thus, each year quotas should grow
less and would have this, year but for
. the unfortunate treaty of Lausnne.”

HOPE IS ABANDONED
OF FINDING MISSING
MAN; SEARCH WANES
Aged Bachelor Was Liwng With
Niece; Searchers Find One
of His Shoes
FAYETTEVILLE, Oct. 14.—All hope
for the finding of John S. Breece, 82
year-old retired farmer of Carver’s
creek Jownjfhlp, who*disappeared from
the home or his niece Wednesday morn
ing, was practically abandoned yester
day after a thorough search of the
country surrounding the spot where
he was last sepn." A searching party
of 75 or 100 men, recruited from the
neighborhood and from Fayetteville,
sought soine trace of the unfortunate
man for the larger part of the day
yesterday, hut without result. So far
the only trace found is an old shoe
which Mr. Breece wore on a sore foot.
The shoe was picked up under a trestle
on the Norfolk Southern railroadj not
long after his disappearance, but
there is no evidence to indicate that
met death on the tracks of the rail
, road. A smaller body of searchers to
day continued to look for his body
along the Cape Fear river, where it is
thought he might have fallen into one
of the deep ravines along the river
banks. /
Mr. Breece, who was a bachelor, was
a. man of considerable means. He was
weli educated, a good farmer and ex
pert horticulturist. He was-much es
teemed in his community, though al
<ways regarded as eccentric. He- sold
his farm some time ago and Invested
the entire proceeds, $35,000, in a fur
niture manufacturing company in
Winston-Salem. Since then he had made
his home with his niece, Miss Rosa
MacLean.

LENOIR FARMERS*
PROUDLY DISPLAY
RICH CROP EXHIBIT
From Looks of Lay-Out Eastern
Carolina Holds Undisputable
Lead in Farming
(Special to the Star.)
KINSTON, N. C„ Oct. 14.—Egbert H.
Waller etarve to death? Never. There
was some discussion of crop possibili
ties at the fair here today, a number
of farmers detailing what they had
seen grown In eastern Carolina fields.
One of Farmer Waller’s assistants led
the way to the private exhibit of Hill
side farm and pointed to 266 separate
■products in the display.
‘‘We are not trying to establish a
record or anything of the sort,” It was
explained. "These were a random as
sortment gathered together a few days
ago. If we were out for a record we
could produce 200 or 300 other kinds
of crops. Any other farm In this part
of the country can do the same. In
spite of the bragging one hears about
California, it can’t be done there.”
- This summer the Waller plantation
produced many kinds of grain and
vegetables and fruit of a number of
varieties, besides cotton. tobacco,
pork and beef. Not a stalk of wheat
was grown, but if it were isolated by
war, flood or other disaster, the Waller
farm commodity could subsist from
cornbread. No sunflowers were grown,
and that essential for poultry' has to
be purchased. The Wallers can’t think
why they didn’t put in a few rows for
seed.
No live animals are Included in the
Waller exhibit, but there are numbers
of cattle and pigs back on the farm
to furnish milk and meat. In case of
a shortage of pork or beef, the Waller
people can get fish from their own
pond.
Negroes Quit Town
On Order to Get Out
PITTSBURGH, Pa., Oct. 14.—A large
number of netroes, known as “new
comers” in the*Stowe Township section,
left there today after they had been
ordered to “get out” by a vigilance
committee Iasi; night. Wagons and
trucks, loaded with negroes,, passed
through McKees Rocks, a suburb, from
the township during the morning. The
situation was quiet.
Industrial plants in the region felt
the effect of the exodus^before noon. A
majority of the negroes' who left were
employed in the steel plants.
The Stowe Township police visited a
hollow near the West Park district be
fore daylight to investigate reports that
cabins occupied by negroes had been
stoned. When they arrived they found
most of the cabins empty and the win
dows shattered. It was In this hol
low that an aged white man was shot to
death and his 11-year-old granddaugh
ter assaulted and wounded by a.pegro'
last Saturday night. The: assailant es
caped. According to the police of the
township, the action of the committee
came as a result of the slaying.
Separating into small squads,/ the
vigilance committee, which Is said to
have numbered more than 200 men, vis
ited all the negro families and. the sev
eral negro workers’ camps in Stowe
Township and quietly Issued the warn
ing for each negro to depart. Police
estimate the number of negro residents
of the township at between 400 and 600.
After completing their self-appointed
task the leaders of the coynmittee re
ported their action to the police au
thorities, the latter- said. Police say
that they were aware of what the com
mittee was doing, but did not Interfere,
as there was no violence. The negroes
received the order passively and soon
after the word began to spread they
deserted the streets.

HISTORICAL SWORD
IS PROUDLY SHOWN
ON LOGHIEL'S TRIP
Washington Member of Scots’
Society Carries Famous
Relic of Early. Days
FAYETTEVILLE, Oct. 14.—An in
teresting feature of the vlBlt to this,
city of Lochiel, renowned Scottish
leader of the Cameron clan, was the
exhibition of the' sword of Prince
Charles Edward, used at the battle of
Culloden. The sword jvas in. the pos
session of Colonel P. D. Calhoun, of
Washington, D. C., who accompanied
Lochiel to the meeting of the Scottish
society of America at Flora Macdonald
college. The sword is of the finest
steej and the richest workmanship, and
an account of its historical interest is
said to be worth a king's ransom. It
was presented to Sir Thomas Sheridan
by Prince Charles.
In addition to the motto Semper
fidelie, Secret et harsti, the sword bears
on the seabbard the inscription:
‘‘Presented to Sir Thomas Sheridan,
knight, by His Royal. Highness, Prince
Charles Edward Stuart, lawful heir to
the throne of Great Britain, Ireland,
France, etc., ifi the presence of the
Chevalier De St. George,’ Viscount
Strathlan, -Lords—Naira, George Mur
ray, Kilmarnock, Cromarty and Tal
marino, at the : Palace of Holyrood,
Edinburg, in' 1745.”
The presence of this historical
souvenir is of peculiar interest in
Fayetteville at this time because of
the fact that the new community
hotel to be 'ejected here has recently
been named the Prince Charles in
honor of the Scottish prince whose
story is so closely entwined with that
of Flora Macdonald, who made her
home in Fayetteville during "her resi
dence in America. '
‘Y’WORKERS IN HAVANA
EXTEND FRIENDLY AID
HAVANA. Oct. 14.—The Merchant
Marine Y. M. C. A. is here primarily to
deal with American sailors, make their
days better and help them when they
are in need, but from time to time the
organization finds opportunity- tp leave
its regular field and do good in broad
er pastures. Ernest Bratzel, the secre
tary. and hi's wife alwyas welcome such
chances.
Recently Mr. Bratzel inaugurated in
the Vivac, the great Jail of Havana,
Protestant religious services In English
for the benefit of the 40 or 50 delip
quent Americans and Englishmen be
hind the bars of the anoient building.
Not long ago two young boys came to
Havana from Maryland, put up at an
expensive hotel, and began looking for
Jobs. Their small savings melted away
ni afew days, and while the American
consul was seeking a chance for them
to work their way home on a ship,
Mr. and Mrs. Bratzel were keeping the
lads out of mischief and in food. An
other undertaking was the return home
of an American drug -.addict whose,
papers showed he had held, an army
commission during the world war, and
on the same ship with this man went
a negrd woman, stranded, in Havana,
whose son in New Orleans had been
located by the secretary of the "M.
M. Y.” - __

EVANGELIST URGES
CLOSER CONTACT IN \
\' RIGHTEOUS EFFORTS
(Continued From Page one)
That stupendous surgeon of hearts,
and somebdy on my left stood up and
said, “Paul, . what must X do to be
saved?”. Then some lady in the center
of my audience should also stand up
and say, "Paul, what must X do to be
saved?” Then suppose sorp® dear fel
low on my' right stod UP and said,
"Paul, I have had a checkered career.
I have made a mess of my lif®. a“d I
am anxious, for yon to tell me what
must I do .to be saved.” What would
Paul say td these people? Ninety-nine
times out of a hundred you people
would say, “Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ and thou shalt be saved.” But
I don't believe, he would, unless these
people were' morally and spiritually in.
the same place as the mail to whom he
said it. What would you say to a doc
tor if he went into a hospital where
there were 20 patients suffering from
[different ailmentSr-and after looking
at all of them,, he were to turn to the
matron in charge and write a prescrip
tion and say, “Here, give that to the
whole lot of them”?
Would you want a doctor of that
kind in your home when you were
sick? ThS doctor that X want when I
am sick is the man who will sit down
by my side and feel my pulse, and take
my temperature, and diagnose my case,
and then prescribe for me. The world
will never be saved en masse. If we
are going to win people for Jesus
Christ, we shall have to win them by
dealing with the individual. Then you
say, why did he say to this man, be
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ? Be
cause this man was an infidel. He did
not believe that Christ had risen from
the dead. And here were two of the
fanatical followers of Jesus Christ
who were preaching' in his town, and.
were Inciting the people to' a religious
riot. . They had been arrested and
committed to his charge. He had
lathed their backs and put them in an
inner prison; and that night Paul and
Silas praved. And when men pray like
Paul and Silas, did, something always
happens.. And something happened
that night, amidst the roaring of the
thunder and the flashing of lightning
and the rattling of chains, and tlft
shaking of. the foundations of that
prison, something happened, so that
this unbeliever ran in saying, ■'Sirs,
■what must I do to be sailed?" And
they said the only intelligent thing
they could say, and that was, "To ymi
Jesus Christ is an anathema. Only'-be-;
lleve In Him and accept Him as your
personal Savior.” That is why they
said to him, “Believe on ^the Lord
Jesus Christ.” - -
Now, if you go back in the same
chapter a few verses, you will read
the story of a woman who brought
her masters much gain by soothsay
ing. If she had lived in our day, we
probably would have made, her a dea
coness or missionary, for she had
great faith of a kind, for she followed
these imen and was the only person in
the city who recognized them. And
she cried,- "These men are the servants
of the most high God who show unto
us the way of Balvatlon.” You don’t
read that Paul in studying her said,
“Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.”
But you do read that after studying
hei; case he said to the devils that
were within her, “Come out.”
Now, If you will go back still fur
ther in that chapter, you have the
story of a beautiful woman named
Lydia, the ifirst business woman to
give her heart to Jesus Christ; who
was religious and entrenched in the
religion of her fathers; who did not
even miss a week-day prayer meeting.
And one day, going to week day prayer
meeting, she found Paul and Silas
there, and Paul began to deal with
her. / 1
You do not read that he said to
Lydia, "Believe on > the I>ord .Jesus
Christ.” For as he had said to the
soothsayer, to the devils that were
within her, “Come out,” there were
devils in Lyria to come out. There
was the devil of respectability, and the
’devil of self-righteousness. But you
do read that he dealt with her win
somely, subtlely and powerfully, until
Lydia's heart ^as opened and sh’e re
ceived Jesus Christ as her Lord and
Savior. The three cases in the same
chapter were all dealt with by Paul
and Silas, and all dealt with differ
ently. And we fail when we present
a cheap gospel. We. blunder when we
preach an easy going kind of salva
tion; when we Btand up and asy, "Only
believe.” The’Bible does not say it.
The devil believes, but he is not a
saint, and htf' believes far more than
any of us do. He knows more about
it. He has had more to do with Jesus
Christ than any of bs. He believes,
and trembles, and some of you have
never trembled yet, for all your pro
fessed faith. There is more to It than
simply "to believe.” We stop 'where
they went on. We take the text out of
its" setting arid we say cheaply, “Be
lieve on the Lord Jesus Christ.” The
Bible says,-' ‘iThey taught the jailor
the Word of the Lord.” What does
that mean? Simply this: they taught
him what believing would imply. They
taught him the accompaniments of
faith. The wirter to the Hebrews said
in one place": “We are persuaded bet
ter things of you and things which ac
company salvation.” Salvation has its
accompaniments. Saying fait hhas its
[accompaniments. Add to your faith,
-virtue. Add to your faith, knowledge.
Add to your faith, love; and so on.
Saving .faith does not stand alpne.
"They taught him the word of the
Lord.”
Now, then, If you were to get up and
say, "Paul, what must I do to be
saved?*’ He would pause and say,
“My brother; come closer to me. Let
me feel yorir' moral pulse. Let me
diagnose your case. What is the‘mat
ter with you?" What is ytour sin?
What is the dominant thing in your i
life which comes between you and! God.
I have discovered iri dealing with men <
and women, that while there may be
six or ten or a dozen things wrong in
a man’s life, it is tone overmastering
and predominant, enslaving thing be
fore . which that, man’ fails down, a
slave every time; and if that thing
goes, the others will slink away like
so- many whipped curs. Paul would
new A Im nnvoa In vnu. lK.ni.
Is.. it a woman? What Is It? Is it
drink? What 1b it? He would drag it
out by the hair of its head. He would
be,too skillful to let you know-that.
It .Is no use to talk about believing
while that is covered up. Out with it,
Lay that ddwn at the feet of Jesus, for
If you are going to believe, that must)
go. If you were to get over there in
the- center and say, "Paul, I want to
be a Christian,’! he would say, "Come,
let us be faithful.’'
Let us reason together and look this
thing honestly in the. face and see
what has separated you from Christ
and taken Hie place in your love and
life; what has blptted out the'sun
from: your sky; what has wrecked
your beautiful love, poisoning it with

God? And If you were to say that It
is this and that or the other, and he
knew you were not speaking the truth,
he would probe until he got at the
thing, and thph ho would show you
your mistake, If you began to talk
about believing.
If you were to get up over there,
my brother, and say, “Paul, what is it
that I am to do?” he would say: “You
know -\rnry well. You know the thing
that has unmanned you and gripped
you by the heart and life. You know
the thing that has robbed your days of
joy and filled them with gloom and,
condemnation. That is the thing that
must go.” Does that not confirm what
I am saying-? “He took him and
I taught him the word of life.” There
| is an Intellectual, ascent to God and
I Christ that can damn. There is a sav
ing faith that can regenerate. Then
what happened? “He took them the
same hour of the night and washed
their stripes.” He- did not wait for
the morning. He had been beating
them. He had wounded them. That Is
an evidence of his faith. Don’t you
talk about believing until you have
done the stripe washing. You have
been sinning a long time, I believe, but
have you attended to the stripe wash
ing? There Is a woman in God’s world
you have wronged. There is a pinched
face somewhere, bearing your shame.
There is a poor little thing reduced to
a skeleton because of your unman
hood; and. sir, there Is a poor old
mother whose heart you have nearly
broken and you Wave never said, “For
give me.” There Is somebody whose
good name you took away, by some
slanderous word.
You steeped your tongue in the mur
dered blood of somebody’s innocence.
Don’t you call yourself a "believer"
until you have done your stripe wash
ing. Don’t play the fool. Don’t dare
to mock God. Don’t you Insult Him,
Don’t you commit sacrilege.- Don’t you
dare to handle holy things in God’s
holy house urftil you have done the
miserable stripe washing. “And when
he had washed their stripes, they fel
lowship ppd together.” Happiness only
comes when you do your stripe wash.
ing. Itl s not pleasant, but you have
to -do it. You have to go and shake
hands with somebody. You have Ho
write a letter to somebody and say,
“Forgive me.” That is stripe washing.
And that sort of a cheap kind of In
tellectual belief in God that* does not
'grip you by the throat and make you
go back and search for the things that
are crooked In your life and help you
to Straighten them before God and the
world, is not the saving faith of the
New Testament. You . Will meet joy
when you do your stripe washing.
When you keep the laws of faith, you
will have the poy of faith, the victory
pf faith. I don’t know how peace will
come, but it will come to you, when
you obey. The kingdom of God la not
meat and drink. It is righteousness
