JEWISH RELIEF DAY.
Help For tba Helpless, a Proclamation by tbe
Governor.
Last year the whole world was
thrilled when vhe news flashed
over the wires that Jerusalem
had been delivered from the
hands of the Turk.- The feelinsr
was universal that the Holy City
should be restored to the people
who had builded it and with
whose history it is forever asso
ciated. This is a fine sentiment,
hut finer and vastly more im
portant than the restoration of
the Holy City is tbe salvation of
millions of Jews from hunger
and disease aud death. In Tur
key, in Palestine, in Luthania, in
Russia, in Poland and iu Gaticia
starvation stares the children of
Abraham in the face. Daily
Jewish husband see their wiyes
grow thin and pale away into the
Great Silence, Daily Jewish
babies tug frantically at breasts
that are withered and dry; and
above the din of battle is. heard
once more the voice of Rachel
weeping for her children and
refusing to be comforted because
vhey are not.
I call upon the good people of
North Carolina to hearken to
this cry, to rally to the help of
the helpless and once again to
show themselves worthy of the
high service they are priviledged
to render Tho hounded, hun
gering Jew can well afford to
die. We cau not afford by indif
ference and inaction to have his
hlood on our hands.
Therefore I, Tnomas Walter
Bickett, Governor ol North Car -
olina, do hereby snt npart Mon
day, the 19d i.if August, 1918,
osJuwUh liiii.ihl) y. I ask ail
newspapers to give wide publi
city to this day, and especially
ask that 6n Sunday, the 17th day
of August, notice be given in all
the churches in the State that
the following Monday will beob
sefi ved as Jewish Kelief Day, and
the pec pie will be given an op
portunity to help this stricken
racej
r- Ou Mtndaz, the- 19th day of
August, I big all oar people to
give to this most worthy cause
generously and gladly, Let Jew
and Gentile touch elbows, and
work together for i the relief of
these millions in. distress, and
may He, who made and loves us
all, bestow upon every giver and
every gift his Heavenly benedic
tion. Done at our city of Raleigh
this the 3rd day of August, in
the year of our Lord one thous
and nine hundred! and eighteen,
and in the one hundred and forty-third
year of our , American
Independence. , .

While I was in Ashland,
Kansas, a gentleman overheard
me speaking, of Chamberlain's
Colicand Diarrhoea Remedy,'
writes William Whitelaw of Des
Moines, Iowa "He told me ic
detail what it had done, for bis
family, but more specially his
daughter who was lying at the
point of death with a violent . at
tack of dy sent ary, and had been
jrivenup.by the family ohvsi
cian. Some of his neighbors adv
; vised him tb give Chamberlain's
Ooiic ana uiarrnoea . rcemeay,
which he did. and fully believes
that by doing so saved the life of
his child. He stated that he had
also used this remedv himself
with equall gratifiin results.
