The cessation of the war, sad ly enough, did not at once re store comfort and plenty to be reaved and stricken lands, and the American Red Cross, as a sort of "Big Brother to All the World," is having to maintain its overseas activities on a vast scale, and for an indefinite time. For one thing, all the surplus medical and surgical supplies and the supplementary food stores of the American Army abroad, has been turned over to the Red Cross for the relief pro grams now being carried out in Poland, the Balkans, Siberia and other countries. The American Red Cross, therefore, is 'obligated to main tain capable medical, nursing, and general relief units at suit able points, and to establish un der American standards train ing schools, the graduates ' of which will be able ot carry on the work initiated by the Red , Cross in war-stricken lands. There is also to be considered the distribution of food and clothing among penniless re turning refugees a task that bids fair to last well into the coming year. Take it all around, the Red Cross campaign, known as the Third Roll Call, November 2-11, has this overseas obligation as a most definite objective. In preparing for the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November 2-11, the peace time program of that organization is extended to in clude adequate functioning of the Red Cross military relief de partment. The latest reports show that 30,000 service men still are in the military hospitals, many of them crippled for life all re quiring Red Cross attention. Hospital, canteen and motor transport service must continue. And the fifty, base hospitals organized by the Red Cross be fore the United States entered the war and turned over to the Army during the war period now are back from the field and must be reorganized and held ready for any call, civil or mili tary. The Red Cross has a great as signment of work on its hands in this single particular alone. Dr. Haywood Last Sunday. Dr. Oscar Haywood was in Rockingham Sunday, and preached a powerful sermon at the Baptist church in the morn ing, and at night delivered a lec ture at the courthouse in oppo sition to capital punishment. The courthouse was crowded, every seat occupied. Dr. Haywood is very eloquent, has a splendid de livery and possesses a dramatic style that compels the attention of his audiences. He is always a welcome visitor to the "best town of all."

He was born in Anson, but later moved to Sampson county ; his father is a doctor and he himself is a di vinity student at Wake Forest. He completed the 5,400 relia bility contest race from New York to San Francisdfc and re turn Saturday at 1:50, landing safely at Mineola, N. Y. Just think of crossing the continent and return in just ten days to tal time, this including all stops and rests ! It surpasses even the imagination of Jules Vernes himself. Leaving Mineola at 9 :24 a. m. on Wednesday, October 8th, he landed at the Presidio at 1 : 12 p. m. Pacific time on Saturday, Oc tover 11th, his elapsed time be ing 3 days, 6 hours and 4 min utes. On the return he left the Presidio at 1:19 p. m., on Tues day, October 14th. He was held up for 18 hours at Wahoo, Ne braska, while he and his me chanics replaced by the light of the farmers' auto headlights his played-out Liberty motor with a motor from an airplane that had been disabled a few miles dis tant. He swapped motors, re sumed the flight and still came out victor, landing" at Mineola, New York, Saturday, October 18th, at 1:50 p. m., his total elapsed time on the return being 3 days, 21 hours and 31 minutes. This was just 15 hours more than for the trip west, which de ducting the 18 hours lost on re placing his motor made his east bound trip shorter by three hours than his westbound. He encountered terrible snowstorms in crossing the Rocky Moun tains, and once came within 200 feet of crashing into a mountain peak, so dense was the snow; fortunately he shot upward and went .over the danger. Yes, North Carolina folks are proud of the record of this great preacher-flyer. Baptist State Convention. The Annual Convention of North Carolina Baptists will be held in Raleigh beginning No vember 11. The change of place was the direct result of a wide spread opinion that because of the Baptist 75 Million Campaign, the Convention should be held in a central point. The convention will be held on the "pay plan" all messengers paying their own expenses. Arrangements are being made to care for several thousand visitors.

F; DIGGS, President, SPEEDERS BEWARE 16 Speeders Pulled on Ham-let-Rockingham Road Sun day Afternoon by Sheriff. More to Follow. The highway between Rock ingham and Hamlet is in first class shape a splendid speed way. , And the autoists make good use of it. Sunday afternoon Sheriff Mc Donald and deputy Reynolds stationed themselves about mid way between the two towns, and as a result of their vigil sixteen speeders were pulled. The law is 25 miles an hour, but these cars were making anywhere from 30 to 60 and the officers aver that some were even ex ceeding aviator Maynard's flying record. The following who were pulled have already appeared before Squire Guthrie and received their medicine ot $5: H. T. Wal lace, Robert Waddell, Dock Floyd and Lynwood Fowlkes. The following numbers were noted by the officers; the said numbers were Monday sent to the Secretary of State and the owners names secured. This does not mean that the owners were driving the cars themselves Sunday when speeding, but that the cars belonged to them and of course they are responsible. They are: 57753 Mrs. Ella Bailey, Knightdale. 29112 T. J. Parker, Laurin burg, Rt. 1. 14410-Thos. G.
