For the i pe past two years intere^ In this sec-1 de tion has slackened in the Red Cross tr; organization largely because the people of the community have not ful- A ly realized what the Red Cross is doing, what its mission is now that the ; war is over. It is true that it came j into being as an agency to relieve IO human sufering and want during th? T war; but now chat it has been once T organized it is finding much work j W to do in peace time3. Many disasters besides war visit! W our land and others. It may be a A storm, a flood, a fire, a drought, an : A earthquake, or almost anything im- ' aginable. They all find the Red, T Cross organization there witb? its arm ! of mercy to bind up the wounds., I nurse back to health, supply cloth- \ A ing, or food, or whatever may be V needed. Last year, the calls upon this organization were unusually A heavy in the southeast. A number of uirsirucuve storms visited this area B several floods wrought havoc to large 0 areas. The Red Cross oragnization ( V answered the call. This year will i L bring other distasters. It may be In our community or in a community tn ! which some of our friend? or rein-1 [ lives live.

Here is a worthy eaus? that i deserves the support of any communi- ni ty. ' oi rt The New North Carolina u The story of the new North Caro-Jtt lina as told by French Strothers in w The World's Work draws the Inuig- ss ination like a magnet, so fascinating SI are his pictures of the progress of its E people in thelast quarter of a century. Jj. Many a man looking at a map of ? North Carolina, with Pamlico Sound rt and the Atlantic Ocean on the east j ol and the tworing Appalachian range p.i on the west, so that it is blessed with tY every climate of the temperate tor.e, jei has envied its inhabitants their nat-jci ural advantages. What a State to he \\ horn in ant^ to work and play In, ;n where the summer heats can always ^ be e caped by hieing to the moun a tuin forests, where the winters are j tl mild and short, and where the soil 2J yields of its abundance and the sea c< and its lagoons of their teeming fish a> and game! But to North Carolina's E natural wealth the energy and indus- j, try of its people have added taxable material wealth, with the result that *y cities have sprun up from backwoods w settlements, straggling villages hayc \v become handsome towns, modern ni highways have been constructed from ; -j( seat to mountains, and where were 3 k poverty and privation not many years jft ago are now plenty and luxury. In I o1 brief. North Carolina has risen from! r. the ruins of the Civil War to an ni- st most incerdible prosperity. Her peo- a, pie owe much to the inspired leadership of Charles B. Aycock. who serv- cj ed them as governor and ^ied full of yj honors twelve years ago. He had rJ been "a plowboy on a red clay farm, his family of no consequence." His al first passion when he grew to manhood was schools. He '"dropped dead in the middle of a sentence In a fam- n our speech on "universal education.' " ^ Mr. Strother speaks of Aycock as b, "perhaps the greatest orator North j* Carolina has produced, as well as one hi of its sweetest spirits and bravest ,( men." No man's epigrams were more tl stimulating. He declared that "a de- w mocraey cannot be built on the backs jr of ignorant men." Others who helped n North Carolina to see "her dreams fj come true" were Edwin A. Alderman b and Walter Hines Page. The latter's , inspirational speech on "The Forgotten Man" was read and is treasured Cl by thousands of North Carolinians. rj Well known also is his book "The d , Rebuilding of Old Commonwealths." 0 Such cultivators of natural resources , as the Dukes contributed powerfully ? to the progress of the state. The , road builders brought the people of , the highlands and the plains Into such I intimate touch that no farmer now . lives for from a metal'highway. There k . are no more isolated mountaineers, a , i The poor white as a type has vanish- tl . ed. tl The further North Carolina goes on S I the road of progress the faster she w seems to move. Seven years ago she st , spent $1,000,000 a year on school o maintenance. Last year the amount S was $23,000,000. In 1900 the value , of her school buildings was $1,000,- li 000. Today it is $48,000,000. In !i three years she has spent $76,000,- d 000 on concrete and macadam rooad? h to connect the *eats of her 100 connties. Her wealth has beer, multiplied ti by ten in twenty years. In 1900 her p bank deposits were $16,000,000. By ti 1923 they had risen to $345,000,000. p She has practically no imigration. c< Her fortunes have been piled up by t< the brains and sinews of a native p str>rlc fhnfc is not efrrid of ^orx.

This tribute to her by le Outlook is food for thought: "Lookir.p at her as she stands in ?e fresh grass by a brookside, one ould never suspect that she has tved the lives of 12,000.000 children he is the best friend that war- worn uropc found in the world.

"Each one of us has always bceved things that he wanted to bceve. It was a long time before I iscovered that the ostrich sticks his ead in the sand only in hooks!" The explorer spent much of his line in correcting what he said were opular fallacies about the condions within the arctic circle. He' ointcd out, for example, that the oldest and the hottest places known > man are within the so-called temeratr zone. "There is a r.'a-c in Moitann UU kU? by*.*.Atl, WliVttf Ul?

All the sweet and tender feelings Which from real affection flow. Love me now while I am living. Do not wait till I am gone. And then chisel it in marble? Worn love-words on ice-cold stone! If you've dear, sweet thoughts about me, Why not whisper them to me? Don't you know 'twould make me happy, And as glad as can be? If you wait till I am sleeping. Ne'er to waken here again, There will be walls of earth between us, And I couldn't hear you then. If you knew someone were thirsting For a drop of of water sweet. Would you be so slow to bring it? Would you step with laggard feet? There are tender hearts all around us Who are thirsting for our love; Why hold from thetn what nature Makes them crave all else above? I won't need your kind caresses When the grass grows o'er my face; I won't crave your love or kisses In my last low resting place. So, then, if you love me any. If it's but a little bit, Let me know it now while living? I can own and treasure it! SUIT. Mr. and Mrs. James Freeman of Ducktown spent Sunday with Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Ensley.
