Halifax couniy raised $2, 1 00.34
for Near East Relief this year, or
46 per cent, of its quota, accord
ing to announcement from Raleigh
by Col. Geo. II. Bellamy, Slate
Chairman. Halifax stood fifty
seventh in the list of "counties in
North Carolina in amounts raised
Rev. L. D. Hayman.of Weldon
was chairman for Halifax county
and his work was highly commend
ed by Col. Bellamy in his annua
report which has just been issued

cash up to the close of the fisca
year on June 30. On that dai
there were $67 in unpaid pledges
not yet due. Clothing to the value
of $669.79 was sent in from the
county.
In thanking his chairmen and
workers and the people who con
tributed this money, Col. Bellamy
called attention to the fact that it
will be necessary to put on a simi
lar campaign this fiscal year, be
cause the Great Powers of the
world are allowing the Turks to
continue iheir massacres in Arme
nia and desiruction of crops.homes
and indusiries.
"There have been twenty-two
separate massacres since the Ar
mistice," declared Col. Bellamy,
"which makes it impossible for
these people to be self-supporting
until France, England and Italy
relinquish their protectorate over
Turkey in their mad scramble for
the Mohammedan calico trade.
I he recent Britisn refusal to
allow the Greek army to stop mas
sacres of its people was one of the
most astounding and sordid chap
ters in history, and until such con
ditions as this disappear and Eng
land becomes a Christian nation,
the American people are ihe only
thing that stand between Armenia
and the entire starvation of its out-
standing population."
OH MOKEHKAD'S FUNEKAL.
The funeral of ihe late Dr R. P.

Thursday afternoon and was one
of the largest funerals ever held in
Weldon. People came fruit far

andtespect for their friend. All
the stores and business places in
town closed during the funeral
services. This entire community
mingles itseympathy with the be
reft ones, and shares their grief
over his departure. He was a man
of strong will power, correct in
his busittess dealings, and was a
great factor in Weldon's progress.
He seemed to be the very expres
sion ot excellent health, not long
ago, and bore all the appearances
of living to a good and green old
age, dui tne race is not always to
the swift or the strong. At the
very hour of life, when his career
seemed most useful, he was called
away. He who doeth all things

and with a father's love, has called
