Armistice Day Celebration Big Success in Every Way Armistice Day was very ap propriately celebrated on last Friday by Stanly County. An exceedingly large crowd of peo ple from all over Stanly and ad joining counties assembled early in the morning and made Nov. 11, 1921, a red-letter day in the history of Albemarle. The for mal celebration commenced with : : . i - u a very imposing paiaue which started at 10:30 o'clock A. M. at the city graded school. The pa rade was led by the members of the Walter B. Hill Post of the American Legion and other ex service men, most of them dress ed in full uniform. The ex-service men were followed by the local troop of boy scouts. Im mediately following the scouts was a beautifully designed float representing Flanders Field and the white crosses 'Row on Row.' This float was followed by a car in which rode several of the gold star mothers of the county, fol lowed by the D. A. R. float cbn-j taining a number of characters uniquely dressed in the garb of Revolutionary days with some very antique articles recalling the days of Washington. Then came the beautiful float of the United Daughters of the Con federacy filled with the old veterans while several cars just behind this beautiful float were filled with veterans also. The Red Cross float was very im pressive, coming immediately after the confederate veterans and closely followed by that of the Albemarle Normal and In dustrial Institute. The Woman's Club floats were worthy of spec ial consideration. One of the most interesting features of the parade was the float containing Young America. This float was filled with a large aggregation of small boys who, from all ap pearances, got as much satisfac tion out of the days celebration as any one else. Immediately following the pa rade as many could get seats in the court house listened to one of the finest addresses ever heard in Albemarle delivered by Dr. Walter N. Johnson of Badin. Just as Mr. Johnson had com menced his address the noon hour arrived and promptly at 12 o'clock stroke, according to plan, a prayer was offered and a beau tiful tribute was paid to the un known American soldier whose body was at that time being lowered in the grave near Wash ington. This prayer was led by Rev. D. B. Green, of this place. Dr. Johnson then proceeded with his address which largely dwelt along the line of reduction of armaments and the future peace of the world. After Dr. John son's address the veterans of the Southern Confederacy, the Span ish American war and World War marched from the court house to the vacant store room in the Sibley building on South Street, where they enjoyed one of the finest feeds of their lives. This sumptuous dinner was pre pared by the ladies of Albemarle and served by members of the Woman's Club, assisted by the local troop of boy scouts. Other interesting features of the day's Program were the riding1 tourna ment which was given at Efirdl ball park and the foot ball game, i a detailed account of which is given elsewhere in this issue. At 7:30 o'clock in the evening an interesting program was given by Albemarle ladies and boy scouts. This was one of the most interesting features of the day and was well attended. HEATH MORROW HURT Heath Morrow, the little son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Morrow, met with a very serious and also Painful accident one day last week when he fell on a barbed wire fence and seriously lacer ated his face. His wounds were so severe that it was necessary to call a physician and it is greatly feared that his face may e permanently scarred by reas on of the cuts sustained by the rail. AN ELABORATE BIRTHDAY DINNER Monday, November 14th, a number of children, grandchild ren, relatives and friends gath ered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Simpson, whose home is near Porter, to celebrate the 63 birthday of Mrs. SimDson. Theso folks had been planninff the sur prise for some time, but' had kept it so quiet that it was a big surprise to Mrs. Simpson, who knew nothing of the matter un til the friends began to arrive about dinner time with large baskets of good eats. The din ing room table would not nearly hold all the eats, so the porch was substituted, and it was fill ed to overflowing with the good things. The men did not have to be called or informed that dinner was ready, but were on the job and ready to do justice by the dinner, but were delayed awhile by Rev. Mr. Green, of Al bemarle, who presented the hos tess with many beautiful gifts from her friends. He also deliv ered a few words of congratu lation and appreciation of her life of usefulness in her com munity and church. This done Mr. Green offered thanks, and all present engaged themselves in the pleasant task of eating. The dinner over, the guests en gaged in pleasant conversation. Among the Albemarle people who were there were: Mrs. G. W. Watson, sister of the host ess, Mesdames James Harris, Elva Harris, Miss Annie Mor row, Nettie May and Edna Car son, and Rev. D. B. Green. Mrs. Simpson's eldest sister, Mrs. Taylor, and brother, Mr. Johnson, were present to help the hostess enjoy the occasion. Many more friends and relativ es were expected, but the bad weather prevented them from coming, although the guests vot ed this to be a most delightful occasion. Upon departing, the guests wished Mrs. Simpson many more happy returns of the day. . AN INTERESTING PROGRAM NOTED ENGLISHMAN SAYS PLAN IS RIGHT (By Jule B. Warren in Charlotte Observer.)

Campbell Morgan, English Bible student and preacher, who is conducting a series of meetings at the Edenton Street Method ist Church, in his opening ser vice on Sunday morning. The Englishman Sieves that the U. S. has won the gratitude of the world for the stand taken in this conference and in the proposals made at the opening session. Likewise he believes that Eng land will answer in the affirm ative to the suggestion that the other big nations of the world should join with America in the disarmament program. Dr. Morgan was for 14 years pastor of the Westminster chap el, of London, but has made al most 50 trips back and forth across the Atlantic on visits to America. He has finally settled at Athens, Ga., on account of his health, and although spend ing his time in America is still a citizen of England, and now speaks from his knowledge of the sentiments of the English on the question of wars and contin ued preparation for wars. He is believing that if the English de legates to the conference in the nation's capital heed the senti ment of the people back home, they will meet the suggestion of Secretary Hughes. LEE VUNCANNON KILLED IN SPENCER YARDS MR. REAP ASKS AID -FOR THE RED CROSS Spencer, Nov. 14. Lee Vun cannon, aged 55, assistant fore man of a Southern Railroad Co. wrecking crew, was killed here this afternoon by being caught under an old box car being un loaded from a flat car. It is re ported that the car turned over accidentally, catching Mr. Vun cannon unawares. Both legs were broken a"i he was other wise injured. He was rushed to a hospital for attention but died in a short time. INSTITUTE NOTES The annual reception of Jun iors to Seniors was given 12th, from 730 to 9:00 p. m In the Government and pri vate hospitals of the United States there at the nrespnt 2fi - 300 ex-service men, this being 8 T times as many as there were m 1919, and the number is increas ing, which shows the truth of the warning from the Surgeon General's office at the close of the war that the correct number cf disabled soldiers would not be known until 1925, the reason be ing this: So happy were the boys, when the war was over, and so anx ious to return to home and lov ed ones that they did not make a true report of their physical condition, confident that a little rest would restore them to nor mal health. Now, however, the bidden disabilities begin to ap pear after a short period of work old wounds re-open, nervous breakdowns occur from wounds in the head and from exposure, the effects of exposure and pois on gas become evident in tuber culosis. The majority of our Stanly county boys did not know that they would receive aid of the Government, and had to be looked up by the Red Cross. The National Red Cross spent $10,000,000 in work for the dis abled soldier last year. 1,508,640 ex-service men were helped by the Red Cross, $450, 000 was loaned to men receiving vocational training. .We can help in this good work by joining the Red Cross all that is asked being one dollar a year from the people of the U. S. one dollar given to the men who lost their health fighting for God and Humaniity. This seems a small compensation in compar ison to what they gave. One work of our local Chapter is to help fight 'tuberculosis. As long as we have no hospital in Stanly it is the duty of our Red Cross Chapter to help extermi nate this plague. We have four patients now asking our help. We cannot help without money, therefore we make an earnest appeal to the citizens of Albemarle and Stanly County to join the local Chapter of the American Red Cross. CHARLES REAP, Chm. Albemarle Chapter. United Lutheran Synod Does Great Work in This State (By Charlie McSwain The first annual convention of the Southern Conference of the United Lutheran Synod of North Carolina was called to or der by the acting president, Rev. V. C. Ridenhour. in the First Everybody was happy at the, Lutheran Church of the city Albemarle City School Novem ber 11th because they did not have any lessons or anything save chapel, which consisted of a very interesting program by the whole school. We had 'no more than gotten to our rooms and seated before the soldiers were assembling for the parade, etc., and so we were royally dis missed until Monday. Most all the high school pupils went to the square, where they witness ad the parade, a very inspiring spectacle. Of course the domes tic science class was in the pa rade, afloat a truck, and looking very beautiful and handsome. Among the senior young ladies who were aboard with the class were Irene Skidmore, Evelyn Hall, Annie Dry, Mary Ander son, Ethel Snuggs, and Ruth Pickler. Messrs. Paul Smith and Lewis Kluttz, representing colo nial dame and gentleman, were especially unique and handsome. Mr. Smith carried one back to the days of Captain John Smith and the early colonial days, the days in which men adorned themselves in laces and velvet, The president preached a force ful and timelv sermon from the text Heb. 13:9, first clause. The service was read by Rev. E. H. Kohn, P. H. D., of Mt. Holly, who also assisted president in the administration of the Lord's Supper. The first business to engage the attention of the body was organization which consisted in enrolling the ministers and lay delegates and the election of of ficers. The rolls showed twenty-five pastors present and forty two laymen. The officers for the incoming year are President, Rev. V. C. Ridenhour; vice pres ident, Rev. J. C. Dietz; secre tary, Rev. G. H. C. Park; treas urer, J. C. Ingle. In very spirited and. well tim ed addresses the following sub jects were discussed by the con ference: "The Every Member Canvass," "The Conferences' Opportunity in Home Mission ary Work and Obligations," "Stewardship in all its Bear ings," "The Church's Need of Ministers" was the last subject for discussion.
