Mr. Proc tor made a most enjoyable talk, warmly commending the church for its leadership in providing innocent amusement for the young people of the community. Vocal selections were render ed by the Baptist Male Quar tette, by Misses Mabel and .Eve lyn Boyd, and by little Miss Minnie Daughtrey. Recitations by Misses Sarah Waller, Clara llearne, Beatrice Underwood and Josie Hargreave also added to the enjoyment of an evening in which there was not a dull min ute, The last but not the least enjoyable part of the evening's entertainment was the delicious refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, which were served.

Insurance Earners For Wage- "Health insurance for wage earners, " says the State Board i of Health, "will soon become a j matter for American legislation ' as it is now in Canada and in j peveral countries of the Old j World. Six European countries! have adopted compulsory health 1 insurance already and so suc-l eessfully has the measure work ed benefits to the people that' every civilized, industrial coun-j try in the Old World- with a few 1 exceptions, is now confronted ' with this new typtot social leg- islation. "Anion the benefits derived suranee brings medical care with-' 1. 1 who are unable to afford this inrv on the rnvsent baa s of ' L large nunmers ! luxury on the present basis of payment Medical care is paid for in advance on an insurance basis, calling for only small weekly contributions. Such con ditions encourage wage earners to seek medical advice and treat ment when suspicious symptoms occur, and not defer till treat ment and cure are not to be had. ''Health insurance" says the Board, "has universally proved a promising weapon with which to fight the premature diseases of adult life". First Week In December Tubercu losis Week Tuberculosis Week will be ob served in North Carolina the week of December 3-10. This week has been set apart by the National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis in which special attentjon shall be given this all important subject in every state in the Union. Through the Tuberculosis Bureau of this State, of which Dr.L.B.McBrayer of the State Sanatorium is at the head, effort will be made to enlist the co-operation of the churches, the schools, and all anti-tuberculosis and public health organizations in bringing tuberculosis to the attention of the people. During the week three special feature days will be held. On Wednesday, December 6, which is National Medical Examination Day, an effort will be made to get everybody, men, women and children, whether sick or well, to have an examination to find out if they have any impair ments or defects of their bodies that need attention. On Friday, December, 8 Children's Health Crusade Day, it is hoped that the schools will pay special attention to fighting tuberculosis, and on Sunday, December 3, which will be observed in this State as Tuber culosis Sunday, special sermons will be preached and exercises held in the churches featuring this grave and timely subject. Baptist Church News Items Last Sundav was a good day with the church; there were 232 in Sundays chnol and a splendid of fering for Missions. The nliicintr of the beautiful new light, a gift of the Ladies Aid Society, in front of the church land a fresh coat of paint have i ,hp. aPPear-anc of .!thnurs cinsiUeriOiy around the church. The Cornmitte, apfminted by the pnstnr, to secure homes for the Delegates to the Roanoke As sociation which coiivenes v ith us on the 10th of Oct. is making j in 'press. Several more houses et, however, will lie needed to entertain the liirge crowd ex pected to attend. The eoni rnitte appreciates the kindness of the nvmlters nf other churches who have consented to entertain some of the Delegates, nnd would consider it a gre it favor if others will do likewise. Health Human Interest in Photoplay The death of Mrs. Brent a widow with three children, in a New York tenement, left Bobbie Brent'a chorus girl' to be the sole support of her little sister and baby brother. Bluebird Photoplays have screened a story of great human interest, taking this in cident as the basis, and Louise Lovely will impersonate the show girl in"Bobbe of the Ballet," the attraction at the Peoples and Rosemary Theater on Friday, Oct ober (Uh with Lou Chaney and Gretchen Iederer the leaders in her supporting company. The struggles against adversity which the chorusgirl was compel led to negotiate her fight against surrounding evils that would deal direct blows at her characters ;the hardships she endured in win ning an eventual triumph over adversity comprise a series of humanly interesting and sympa thy compelling episodes. There is a brighter contrast to the sodden elements of hardships and moral struggles in the vistus of stage life that the feature presents -- an element that al ways conveys a strong appeal to the theatregoing public. Then, too, there is the implied rebuke to a certain element in society who flatter themselves that they are doing a great good for human ity by undertaking certain forms of " settlement work" pur sued largely as a "fad" with out any permanent good result ing from their activities. There is a fancy-inspiring love story running through the five acts of the feature, and it is not until the very end of the subject that the outcome of the "heart interest" may be definitely considered. Miss Lovely, now firmly estab lished as a Bluebird star, has never been so well suited with a role adapted to her beauty and charm as in "Bobbie of the Bal let," a feature that is sure to hold with fascinated interest the attention of "picture fans" who delight in an exciting screen drama. RECORDER'S COURT NEWS ITEMS It looked like a meeting of the Gideon Lodge in the Recorder's Court on last Monday morning, with nine dusky defendants at the bar and numerous friends and acquaintances. Things look ed dark for the defendants, who had been arrested Sunday after noon by Officer Jackson redhand edly whiling away the passing hour by engaging in the nefari ous game of crap. Numerous testimony elicited the fact that four of the defend ants: Frank Edwards, Isaac Stevenson, Paul DeLoach and J. D. Squire were merely those who had stopped to look. The other five: Will Kenlev. Alfred Kain. June Stevens, Will Smith and Grant Boone were adjudged guilty and bound over to the next term of the Halifax Superi Court under $25.00 each. Will Smith was the only defendant who could not arrange this all but vital matter and he alone is now spending his time in the Halifax jail. The case did not seem very strong only seventy five cents in cash was found inthe possession the entire crowd. The negroes were all hard workers and the sympathy of the spectators was plainly with them during the trinl. Jim Gray, drunk, submitted to line of $1.00 and costs. "jvlaggie, " said the inexperienc ed young thing to the cook, "the hiomitou- u ul.rht If ,, ... , o..... ju Kal, do better next time I will have to !.. , ,. .... ,, ,, ; discharge you." e Will Will ye? : I'll have ye know, mum, that I've i . ! been worklti out for two years, ! an' I've worked for 89 av the best , i , , famlies in town, an I am t ever jbin discharged yet I'm lavin this afthernoon for a better place. DF DEMOCRATS' HELP Leaders Resent Efforts to Turn the Cause Into an Adjunct of Republican Party. WON OVER BY PRESIDENT "I Have Come Here to Fight WITH You," He Telle Them "Wilson Voted for Suffrage; Hie Hughe.?" Asked One. Western women who have hud the hullot equally with the men for several years resent the Interference of one of the factions of suffragists and the at tempt to turn the suffrage cause Into an adjunct of the Iteiutllcnn party. They believe they know how to vote without being told by women who never had the vote ; and they refuse to turn against the Democrats who have done so much for their cuuse In their respective slates. Tills attitude Is brought out clearly In an Interview by Nlxola Greeley Stultli, nutlonally prominent as a writer on the staff of the New York World, with Mrs. Alexander Thomp- son, democratic Nutloual Commtttee- Dl"n ,ro'n Oregon, and Mrs. Theresa M. Graham of Coeur d'Aleue, Idaho, "One would think," observed Mrs. Thompson to Miss Ureeley-Smlth, "that If any Instruction In suffrage matters had to be given It would come from the women who have woo the vote and do vote rather than from Suffragists In the East who are still disfranchised. I am a young woman, but I have been through three cam paigns for the vote In Oregon. In the final campaign we won through the co-operation and help and belief 'n us of the men of Oregon. Aided by Democrat "We have been voting only five years and we are still grateful to our men. So, when the Congressional Union sent speakers to Oregon to tell us to vote against all Democrats we laughed at them. Why, at the last election they campaigned against George E. Chamberlain, who Introduced tho first Suffrage bill In Oregon and who hud been the friend of the wom en all through their fifteen years' fight. "I agree with every word that Mrs. Thompson has spoken," declared Mrs. Orahnm. "The conditions In my State are the same as In Oregon, except that we have had the vote for twenty years, und It was given to us without our having to Dght for It. The Congres sional Union has speakers In Idaho now urging us to slaughter the Demo crats and freo our Bisters In the East. How silly that is! Are women In the East so foolish as to be led away by the mere declaration of a cardidate, unsupported by his party, that he's personally In fuvor of a Federal amendment? Woodrow Wilson voted for Suffrage. Has Charles E. Hughes ever voted for Suffrage? Wilson has done everything consistent with a be lief In State rights, one of the funda mental principles of Democracy. Suf frage can never win as a partisan is sue. Alienate the Democrats en masse and you have killed every chance Suf frage has." Won by Wilson's Speech. It Is admitted by practlcully all suf fragists that their cause has been helped greatly by the speech President Wilson made before the convention of the National Woman's Suffrage Associ ation at Atlantic City recently, on Sept. 8th. When the President told them he had "come here to fight with you" the 4000 suffragists gathered In Nixon's Theatre arose and cheered him en thusiastically. This pledge by the President led Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the association, to say: "You touched our hearts and won our fealty when you said you had come here to tight with us." "The astonishing thing about this movement, sulj, President Wilson, Is not that it has grown so slowly, but that It has grown so rapidly. I get a little Impatient sometimes about the discussion of the channels nnd methods by which It Is to prevail. It Is going to prevail, am' i.hat is a very superficial and Ignorant view of It which Hi tributes It to mere social unrest. It Is not merely because the women are discontented, It Is because the women have seen visions of duty, and that is something which we Dot only cannot resist, but, if we be true Americans, we do not wish to resist, "I have felt as I sat here tonight the wholesome contagion of the occasion. Almost every other time that I ever visited Atlantic City I came to fight somebody. I hardly know how to coo duct myself when I have not come to fight somebody, but with somebody. "I have come to suggest, among otlur tli!ug:i, that when tho forces of nature are steadily working and the tide Is rising to meet the moon, you need not be afraid that It will not come to Its flood. We feel the tide; we rejoice Jn the jtrengthjaf It." AN ANT 1-tAMPAIQNT As a candidate Mr. Uughes has not '" "v l" "unions.

There's at least one redeeming feature about air castles we don't have to pay taxes on them. Aunt Polly was milking in the cow lot, and her politically excit ed son found her there. "Maw, you're a Democrat, ain't you?" he asked. She made no answer, but he persisted; "Say, maw, ain't you a good Democrat?" Finally she said emphatically: "I hain't nothin.' I'm a woman luiikiii a cow. You go in tr.er.0u2e house and shut up!" Cause for Optimism. When a man yields to the pleading of bis wife and goei to church for the first time In thirty years, he swells up and talks about it as though he had a ticket on the New Jerusalem Limited straight to heaven. Husbands Outclass Riches. A census taken in a co-educationat Institution disclosed the fact that the dear girls wore more Interested Id se curing husbands than riches. Another demonstration, obviously, of tna fallacy of the higher education. j . A i
