When all the stars have resolv- ed they! only produce Now again. How Infinitely deeper Is thought than the million miles ol the firmament. Richard Jeff- rie3. , ' CAN ACCOMPLISH, MUCH ". . Since the announcement In The Sen . tinel that a permanent Iled Cross chap ' ; ter was to be organized in Winston ' So lorn much interest has been man I . letted in this movement. There is ev ery reason to believe that great enthu ' siasm over the matter will be shown by citizens generally and that the Id. cal organization will begin Us work . with a large and aggressive member ship. A recent Interview by Got. Bickett on the organization of Red Cross chap, tera in North Carolina has directed r general attention to the matter and it is probable that cities and towns, large and small, will soon have such socie ties. There is no reason why any town of considerable size in North Carolina should not have one. "The formation of Red Cross chap ters and first aid classes," said Got. ; Bickeit, "is one of the duties of every patriotic North Carolinian over lx teen years of age." The governor calls attention to the fact that "while ; no field service is required of the ; American Red Cross, immediate help ' is needed to stock field and base hos pitals with the necessities of military 'and civilian relief, to train those who , (enter or are contemplating entering any branch of military service, as well 'as those who remain at home, in the approved methods of first aid for the sick and injured, either at home or on ; the battlefield. "Already," said Governor Bickett, ' "there are scores of first aid classes being formed in every section of the 'state. Doctors are volunteering to teach classes in first aid free of charge, while patriotic men and women are or- ganizlng such classes, life saving corps. Industrial work, and other Red Cross work. "The United States," aaid the gov ernor, "is far behind other countries In this work. With our hundred mil lion population we have a Red Cross membership only 250,' K, while Germany, with only two-thirds of our population, has over five times our Red Cross membership, and Japan, with about half oir population, has over seven time our Red Cross mem bership." The governor calls further attention to the tact that the American Red Croc is chartered by congress, that it i the only volunteer agency for re lief commissioned In case of war or overwhelming disaster, that the Presi dent ol the United States is president of the society and that It reports to congress and has its accounts audited by the war department. This Red Cross movement is a most Important one. In the past much ben efit has been derived from the many activities of the organization but, as shown above, the membership in this country should be decidely larger than it la. We hope the present movement for the organUatlon of additional chap ters lu every state of the Union will proceed mull this nation is second to none in the groat I tod Cros work. CONOITIONS GOOD. Reports from all ports of the coun try indicate that brslness conditions in different lines are good and coo ataiitly getting better. Optimism as to the future Is the keynote of expres " aions made with reference to the In dustrial and commrrchil situation. ' No nation ever entered a war In f nT - good financial condition as Joea itue United States, and there is , every reason to bvliove that business jr will continue excellent. The Charlotte News, In discussing the prospoots, com. ruent on the fact that, tho Canada Is f taking a vital part in the great Euro xi struggle, business there hsu in creased over 3'K) per cent elnce the war began. As we have said before, H will take mora than a declaration of war to dls turb the flow of prosperity in the Unit, ed States. Kvcrythlng point to most excellent year. A NECESSITY, - The raising in the South this year of enough food and fo d stuffs to supply the eutlra section Is not a matter of ex pdlency; it a case of absolute iw ocKBlt. If the Boutli does not mis enough for it own needs, thera will ba positive dangir of having to do without some of these product. ' -.

Various committees are at work on the proposition and it is earnestly hoped and believed the response on the part of our citizens general ly will be most liberal. - It is needless to arsmo rPp-arHino trip crrfJiT nrlvanfaov.a that woTild accrue to the Twin-City from the location here of the' hospital to be established-by the Western North Carolina Conference of the M. E. Church, South. Those advantages are too obvious to require any conunent. Suf fice it to say that, with present hospital facilities here, it is impossible to care promptly for all local cases because of the lack of room and, of course, the development of this city as a hospital center for this section, with all which that implies, is an impossibility under existing conditions. The location here of the Methodist hospital, as we have said before, would not only make it possible to care ade quately for the local cases needing attention but manv people in this section of the state who now go to other points for hospital treatment would doubtless come her1 because "of the extensive facilities provided. There is no danger of overcrowding the local field, as far as hospital facilities are concerned. We have far less than w e need along this line now. Then, too, the experience of other cities has been that the building of new institutions merely adds to a communitv's nrestice as a hnsm'tal wri ter. One Southern city which we have in mind has eight hospitals. A few years ago there were only two and when it was proposed to build the third one many thought the Held would be badly crowded. Today, with eight institu tions, the city in question is regarded as a hospital center; many people go there every year because of that fact who" probably otherwise would not do so, and there is talk now ot building another hospital, larger than the rest. We re peat that there is no danger of overcrowding the field here. The real danger is in neglecting an opportunity to brin nere an institution that will be of untold value to the city. I here are a number of reasons whv Winston-Salem would be an ideal location for the Methodist hospital. But 16 will not be secured without effort on the part of th committees and generous support from the community at' large e feel confident there will be such a measure of, popular co-operation as to assure ultimate success. Those! in charge of the campaign do not merelv wish a few large subscriptions, but it is especially desired that many differ ent citizens have a part in this most excellent movements The subscriptions of those who feel that thev cannot sub scribe much but would like to have a hand i'n this move ment for general -community benefit will indeed be gladlv received. der the necessity of supplying much in the way of foodstuffs to the allies. At best, there Is danger of a shortage. We cannot depend on the West, as. we have In the past. It is perfectly obvl. ous. therefore, that the South must supply its own needs in the way of food. It is important for the people of the Southern states generally to re alize this and to co-operate in a far reaching movement for the production this year of an immense amount of food and feed supplies. AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MUSICIANS As only qualified physicians in act ive practice can be teachers of first aid classes of the American Red Cross, this service comes to physicians as a most acceptable opportunity for ren dering their country a most timely and needed aid. suggests the state board or health. It Is believed by those act ively engaged in Red Cross work that voluntary services on the part of the physicians to teach first aid classes will be the first move toward a more general in tores t In relief work par ticularly In personal equipment. - Mrs. Win. B. Orlmes, vice-chairman of the Kalelgh Red Cross chapter, says that wherever the doctors volun teer their services, there's no trouble in organizing classes, for there's al ways some good woman in a town or community who so feels the need of thta work that sba will give her time and services to form classes and see that they are organised according to Red (roes regulations. Mrs. Orlmes feels that every woman in the state and men too. as for that matter, will want to avail themselves of this op portunity to become equipped to serve their country in cssa of war or their homes and family In time of peace. Rut Mrs. Grimes explains that this does not mean that women who be come members of Red Cross chapters or of first aid elasaes are under any obligation to oliinteer to go on the field, in hospital work or elsewhere, but that its educational work as well as the making of supplies is for a greater efficiency and a state of pre paredness which our country yet lacks.

The white men of the South were aroused by the more instinct of self preservation to rid themselves, by fair means or foul, of the intolerable bur den of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negroeB and con ducted in the interest of adventurers; governments whose incredible debts were incurred that thieves might be enriched, whose increasing loans and taxes went to no public use but into the pockets of party' managers and corrupt contractors. There was no place of open action or of constitutional agitation, under the terms of reconstruction, for the men who were the real leaders of the Southern communities.

We remained in ramp for a few days at 'Klnston, then the Yankees gave us another chasa, and we raptured several prisoners, seven of them being deserters.

Then we made a dash to Washington, N'. C, and drove th) lankees from that place, then moved on to I'lytnouth, here we " stormed the place, captured a good many prisoners and all their cotnmlH faries.

But there were men to whom coun sels of prudence seemed as ineffect ual as they were unpalatable, men who could not sit still and suffer what was now put upon them. It was folly for them to give rein to their impulses; It was impossible for them to do nothing. They took the law into their own hands, and began to attempt by in timidation what they were not allow ed to attempt by the ballot or by any order course of public action. They began to do by secret concert and as sociation what they could not do in avowed parties. Almost by accident a way was found to succeed which led insensibly farther and farther afield into the ways of violence and outlawry. In May, 1866, a little group of young men in the Tennessee village of Pu laski, finding time hang heavy on their hands after the excitements of the field, so .lately abandoned, formed a secret club for the mere pleasure of association, for private amusement for anything that might promise to break the monotony of the too quiet place, as their wits might work upon the matter, and one of their number suggested that they call themselves the Kuklos. the Circle. Secrecy and mystery were at the heart of the pranks they planned; se crecy with regard to the membership of their Circle, secrecy with regard to the place and the objects of its meet ings; and the mystery of disguise and of silent parado when the comrades rode abroad at night when the moon was up; a white mask, a tall card board hat the figures of man and horse sheeted like a ghost and the horses' feet muffled to move without sound of their approach.

Commencing with the year 1SSJ, May aisUfune 1st, Battle of Seven Tines, August !Uh, the Hattle of Ced ar Run or Slaughter's Mountain. The next battle was on the hanks of the Rappahannock, then the second bat tle of Manassas, August uUth, Battle at Hull Run. Next at Ox Hill, when l"pe' army was driven back to Washington September 1st. Notwithstanding the exhaustion of his troops from the heavy tax anil strain en all their energies, heavy losses in battle and the want of com missaries, (k-neral Leo now undertook the bold scheme of crossing the I'oto mac into Maryland September .'Ird. Our army was put In motion, this movement throwing the authorities at Washington into great confusion and dismay. They were convinced that our numbers were overwhelming. They did not know where to look for the Impending blow, when our army started for Maryland after the affair at Ox Hill it was out of rations, badly clothed and worso shod. At the time of the battle of Sharpsburg It had been marching and fiKhtinn for near six weeks and the struggling from exhaustion, sore feet, and In search of food had been terrible. lie fore we crossed the Potomac our loss was about thirty thousand men in bat tle from Cedar Itun to South inoun-1 tains, thus ended the year 1XG2. Then in the spring 186:i, the battle j of Cbancellorsvlllo ami Fredericks- j burg and Culpepper Courthouse; at Martlnshurg we raptured about four thousand prisoners, twenty nine pieces of artillery, a lot of small arms, a I lttrK wagon train and many stores, Now we fell back to Richmond and with some hard Hunting wo drove the enemy back and rrossed the river lo tiimac Into Maryland and on to l'enn- sylvanla, afterwards returning to Get- tysburg, where wo had the hardest fouEht hattle of the war.

Ourlng our last year In the war wo had very little pro visions, sometime, we gathered corn from the fields and made meal by con verting a canteen into a grater. This we baked, husk and all without salt or anything. Sometimes we chanced to pass thru an orchard and filled our haversacks with fruit. Sometimes thn boys were marching barefooted and very poorly clad.

We slip ped at one home where we were p in a big feather bed to sleep. I said to my companion, "My goodness Jiles, this w:ll kill us. wont it?" but you may be sure we had a grand night's rest. We began to feel like we were get ting home sure enounh. We were anx ious to get back to that dear old hearth stone, where we knew father and mother were awaiting our return; but when we did arrive there was a sud feeling when I looked around the home of my boyhood days, everything torn up and my brothers who had been my companions these, being left on the battlefield, but with courage 1 then enlisted In the battle of recon struction and have been marching on for over fifty years.

Tho prairie dogs disappear before civilization, there are still great num bers of prairlo dog towns out on tho prairies of Montana, Wyoming and other states of the great plains where the land is eparsely settled, says an exchange. Many of them cover several hun dred acres and have hundreds, even thousands, of inhabitants, for the little creatures like companionship and al ways live in colonics. Their homes are deep holes in the ground, sometimes divided into sev eral ainriments. F.acn house has a mound of dirt beside the entrance, and here Mr. and Mrs. I'ralrio Dog and their little ones love to sit by the hour, sunning themselves and conversing with one another and their neighbors. At such times, dog town is almost as noisy as China town. Tho sound they make Is a short, sharp bark, similar to a puppy's and is kept up Incessantly, They have little short tails nd these they Jerk up nd down as they bark In a funny way, seeming to keep time to their voices. They are bold, saucy little creatures. Take a walk thru one of their towns and they wilt bark defiantly at you until you ap proach quite near. Yet their sharp eyes are alert, and let you but raise your arm quickly and tbey duck into their holes like a flash. In the mornings and evenings the prairie dogs are busy getting food. They live on the steins snd roots of prairie grasses and other plants na tive to the semiarld regions, foraging for several miles out beyond the town limits. When food becomes scarce In the vicinity they move to other green areas. In choosing a site for the new town, they are always careful to se lect a location near a stream or spring. This 1 so Invariably their custom that a prairie dog town is considered by the settlers a sure sign that water Is near. 4t ISooray -at last I've found Instant Bunion IrW don't set (at and Kav me in tain instnntlyVfyrad wiiMiiuuuuon a:r tho bunion tviih uiscomiort.
