During the epidemic Rosemary Manufacturing Company gave all their operatives rent for three weeks, secured an extra corps of of nurses; and turned their can ning plant into a public kitchen and had soup and other necessi ties distributed daily to those of their village afflicted with the disease. Patterson Mills Company also gave a week's rent to their oper atives, but were unable to secure a nurse, however they employed person to visit each home in their village each day and every aid was given their employees during the epidemic The Roanoke Mills Company's village, was the last section of our community to be affected and they also are giving rent and groceries to each person in their village in need of help. Every few days a representative, of the mill visits each home and when any one is found in need they are supplied free. Besides this their cannery has been converted into a public kitchen and all need ed nourishments are being pre pared and distributed to the sick ones. Similar work as mentions above was done in other towns by the Red Cross, but our mills do not wait for outside help when their people are in distress. Sunday School 10:00 A. M.

Some of the absent vote will be cast but nothing like the full vote. ! Our President and party leader has appealed to the electors of America to see to it that the pre sent complexion of the United States Senate and House of Rep resentatives be maintained. The Republicans throughout the nation, from Roosevelt down, are doing everything in their power to hamper the present ad ministration by electing a repub lican majority in the United States Senate and in the House. The Republicans in North Car olina are likewise doing their ut most to defeat the State ticket In the western part of North Car olina where the Republicans are strongest this effort is especially strong, and unless those counties in North Carolina in which the democratic party is uppermost and the Republican party is negligible cast a full vote, there is grave danger of North Caro lina's having a Republican ad ministration. In the east, we are not troubled by the republican pest therefore, are apt to minimize any possible danger from this cause. Let it therefore, be the per sonal duty of every registered voter in Halifax County to go to the polls on November 5th and cast his vote for the full ticket Let it likewise, be the duty of every voter to see that his neigh' bor votes on that day, and there by respond to the call of our Pres ident our party leader and the Commander-in-chief of the American Army. No one can better serve the soldiers who are at the front than by voting the full democratic ticket for in that way. he will be upholding the hands of our Com mander-in-chief, and likewise will be minimizing the dangers to our army abroad by eliminating dissension from the ranks of our national councils. Apathy, or failure to vote on November 5th on the part of the democrats is equivalent to a vote for the republican party. Are you willing to aid the enemy? f not-vote. See that your neighbor votes. See that every one that is entitled to vote, does vote. This is your duty-per form it Geo. C. Green, Weldon N. C. line trenches for almost four months, previous to his death.

Shell of hickory nuts, wal The General Assembly of 1917 saw fit in its wisdom to submit to the people of the State two Constitutional amendments. The first amendment will secure to every child in the State an op portunity to attend public schools six months in the year. This in creases the opportunity of the child for education just fifty per cent It is hard t believe that any man in the State would be willing to deny to little children this larger opportunity to develop all the faculties with which the Creator has endowed them. The second amendment pro vides that notes and mortgages given in good faith for the pur chase price of a home, when said purchase price does not exceed three thousand dollars, and said notes and mortgages run for at least five years and do not carry a rate of interest exceeding five and one-half per cent, shall be free from taxation. The manifest purpose of this amendment is to enable a poor man to borrow money at a low rate of interest, and on long time, with which to buy a home. The adoption of this amendment will enable every honest, industrious and economical citizen to become a home owner. The amendment is in line with the Inaugural Address of Gov ernor Bickett, in which he said "I shall neither rest, nor permit the State to rest, until every hon est, industrious and frugal man who tills the soil has a decent chance to own it '. The amendment applies to the home in the country, or the home in the town. It is absolutely non partisan in character, and has been endorsed by the North Car olina Press Association, by the Farmers' Convention, and by host of men who have devoted study to this problem. Just as the school amendment opens aschoolhouse to every child this amendment opens a home to every man. It is earnestly hoped that every citizen will vote the ballot upon which is printed the words "For Exemotion from Taxation o: T. W.

"The date of November 11-18 originally decided upon for the United War Works Campaign will be adhored to, inasmuch as county wide reports indicate that the "Flu" is waning." This an nouncement was made by Mr. P. H. King. Director of the United War Campaign in the Southeast ern Department, after he had conferred with Dr. John R. Mott, Director General of the United War Work Council. This decision was reached after careful consid eration, and consultation, and after a personal conference with President Wilson, and members of the War Department 'The disadvantages of post poning outweighed any apparent advantages which might come from such a delay", Dr. Mott stated. Mr. King pointed out that al tho health regulations might in some instances perhaps prevent the holding of large mass meet ings, the local leaders throughout the Southeastern Department may be depended upon to exer cise their careful, and best judge ment, and ingenuity in adopting plans to suit the changed condi tions. The Fourth Liberty Loan was carried through with stupendeous success even in the midst of an epidemic, and certainly the Unit ed War Work Campaign Drive can raise $170,500,000 for the seven war work agenocies, and will not be adversely effected by the unfortunate conditions pre vailing, Mr. King gave his opin ion. Dr. Mott impressed upon Mr. King that the lack of large mass meetings to push the campaign would leave the people more time to reach, think, and decide. Both Dr. Mott and Mr. King have stated that the press will be called upon and will no doubt vol untarily lend even greater assist ance than they have already given, and have planned to do, for a wider use must be made of the printed page, to offset the lack of big meetings in carrying the campaign through to a suc cessful finish.
