C, OCTOBER 22, 1920 Subscription $2.00 a Year in Advance n) n Pi) G o MOTHERS CLUB PARKER DELIVERS HIS CAMPAIGN SPEECH HERE Large Number of Voters Hear Repub lican Candidate for Governor Last Friday Night. Takes a Few "Shots" at Cam, and "Weeps Over Reval uation. John J. Farker, Republican Nominee for Governor of North Carolina, delivered his campaign speech in the Central School Auditorium last Friday night. The auditorium was filled to its capacity. About 10 of those present being ladiesand candidate Partcer gleefully accepted the opportunity to remark that he was not one of the candidates originally opposed to woman suffrage. Evidently a great ovation had been planned for Mr. Farker. As he entered the auditorium the Raleigh Real Estate Band, which had been employed for the oc casion, struck up with Dixie and a small group of visitors near the stage endeavored to have the audience rise and whoop 'em up for Parker. However these gentlemen failed to transiuse their enthusiasm into the au dience. Mr. P. C. Duncan introduced Mr. Parker as our next Governor of North Carolina and closed his introductory remarks with the statement that "he would indeed be overjoyed if North Carolina would vote her convictions, re gardless, in the coming election, and that he believed if it did Parker and Harding would re ceive an overwhelming majority. In the beginning of his speech Mr. Parker stated he would not make the kind of speech some might expect but he was going to tell the truth about the Demo cratic Party and some Demo crats; told an amusing joke and then proceeded to lambast every thing that bore the Democratic imprint and then some. Mr. Parker said the worst sin of the Democratic administration (re valuation excepted) were omis sions rather than commissions. The following are not Mr. Par ker's exact words, but the gen eral trend of his speech. No he had never waved a red shirt like Cam did, oh no, thank God! Yes the negro was out of politics forever. (However he failed to say what he did when Cam was wearing his red shirt and helping to put the negro out) . Yes the negro was out to stay, but Cam ought to be ashamed of himself for wearing that red shirt - he should have been studying statesmanship! The Democratic machine ought to be nut out of commission. But no Democrat, young or old could beat it. Look at "my friend Bob Page," how utterly it crushed him, and Max Gard ner, a spotless young man, buried forever by this Watts machine. That wicked machine went and nominated Cam Morrison for Governor and Cam knows he could never have beaten Max Gardner, but for that machine. It ouorht to be busted. But the only way the Democrats can bust it is to help me do it. The League of Nations. Mr. Parker said he didn't have much to say about the League. He was an American himself, and did not believe in giving foreign countries the right to draft our boys to fight their battles. Fur thermore he was not willing to have the Monroe Doctrine nulli fied ! These remarks we presume are based on article Ten of the Covenant of the League. For the convenience of our readers we give below Article Ten: "The members of the League undertake to respect and reserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity Lni ex isting political independence of all members of the League. In case of any such aggression or in case of any threat or danger of such aggression the Council shall advise upon the means by which this obligation Hhall be fulfilled." Revaluation! This Mr. Parker believes is the most hsrrible thing the Democrats ever did. He told Tom Settle's old joke about the Democrats taxing the "hole in the ground" and began quoting figures. About this time several in the audience got sleepy and left. Yessir he's foing to change this idiotic law first thing when he is inaugu rated. And furthermore he in tends and promises to make hon est elections possible, too. Mr. Parker said he was terri bly ashamed of the fact that North Carolina did not have a workman's compensation law, HOLDS ENTHUSIASTIC POLITICAL MEETING ROSEMARY PERSONAL LOCAL ITEMS AND Mrs. T. W.

TO GIVE TEACHERS RECEPTION The Woman's Club of Roanoke Rapids Invites Every Parent and Adult ot the Community to be Present at a Public Reception Given in Honor of the Teachers of The Roanoke Rapids Graded School District Friday Evening, Nov. Fifth From Eight to Ten o'Clock Central School Auditorium In extending this invitation the Woman's Club regrets the necessity of limiting the same to adults, however this is necessary because of the size of "the audi torium. and painted some awful pictures about the cot ton mills of our State. Mr. Parker's statement might be true about the mills of his town, but every mill opera tive present knows they are not so in Roanoke Rapids and Rose mary. Mr. Parker is an orator of no mean ability and made a good impression on many of his hear ers regardless of political affilia tions. His home is in Monroe where he practices' law when not politicing. THE ST. CLAIRE SI8TERS. The St. Claire Sisters, a Indies' quar tet, Klve a varied program, which combines orchestral, vocal and special novelty features. Audiences which have heard the Military Girls or the American Girls will find the same brlchtness and sparkle which makes these two companies so well remem bered. The St. Claire Sisters hnve al ready appeared on one of the rtedpath Clinutuuqiift circuits with decided suc cess. The personnel of this company Is as follows : Kiln St. Claire, soprano, pluno, mandolin, banjo; Mary St. t i Pis v'riX VY ft The next Lyceum attraction which will appear at the Cen tral School Auditorium next Tuesday night TUESDAY NIGHT Mrs. Clarence Johnson, Ex President of North Carolina Federation o f VVomans Clubs, the Speaker. On Monday night in the Cen tral School Auditoriom, under the auspices of the Mother's Club of Roanoke Rapids, the women of our community held their first political meeting. The c n.. uuji-ii ui me mtruiin was iu acquaint the women with their new resposibilities as voters, and under the able supervision of Mrs. W. L. Long the meeting was brought to a very successful conclusion. The program opened with the Roanoke Rapids Band playing the Star Spangled Banner and as the first strains of the music filled the auditorium, Miss Alma Vaughn entered with a large American flag which she carried to the center of the stage. The audience then sang the Star Spangled Banner, led by Miss Crisp, musical director of our school system. Mrs. W. L. Long, in introduc ing the speaker of the evening, Mrs. Clarence Johnson, of Ral eigh, stated that Mr. W. L. Long, who was scheduled to make the address of the even ing, had been detained out of town on business, but that the Mother's Club had been fortu nate in securing Mrs. Johnson for the occasion. A satisfactory substitute is rare, but this one proved to be a happy one indeed, besides adding to the appropri ateness of the occassion, in that a woman should address the first political meeting of our women. Mrs. Johnson did not waste much time with preliminary re marks, and took up her subject of how the women were to meet their new obligations as voters. Mrs. Johnson said that woman suffrage was a thing of the past and she was happy to say that the women of nearly every civi lized nation in the world had the ballot. In Mrs. Johnson's opinion the women will not be a disturbing element in politics, but will do their own thinking and bring to bear all their power, thought and influence for the good of our country. She offered as evidence of this fact the planks submitted by the women to the recent con ventions of the major parties, of which there were fifteen articles, Those presented to each conven tion meaning practically the same thing although worded dif ferently. The Republicans ac cepted only six of the articles, while the Democrats accepted fourteen and gave as their rea son for not accepting thefifteenth the fact that its adoption would require a constitutional amend ment. Mrs. Johnson said the most important of these articles was the first calling for an adequate appropriation for the Children's Bureau of the Department of Labor. Mrs. Johnson's argu ment for this article was an im pressive plea for the League of Nations, although she did not present it as such. She brought forth the fact that only 8 of all the funds collected in any form by the United States were used to pay for the normal functions of the government, that 92 was paid for past and future wars a fact that about 95 of the people fail to realize. A striking illustration of the importance of women voting was cited bj Mrs. Johnson, when the Women's Club of Raleigh Claire, second soprano, reader, piano, mandolin, banjo j Velma St. Claire, first alto, violin, piano, mandolin, ban jo; Lillian St. Claire, contralto, vio lin, mandolin, banjo. The features of the St. Claire Sisters' program are: Mandolin quartet, ladles' vocal quar tet, violin solos and duets, readings, orchestral music of violins, mandolins, piano; vocnl solos, duos and trios; planolotrues ; banjo orchestra of vio lin, two banjos, piano, especially effec tive for popular music; piano soloa and duets; humorous songs wKh u& tlon; tianjo quartet. - - peoples theatre soon to !

HALLOWE'EN INVITATIONS AND DECORATIONS Last year quite a number of our customers were disappointed because of our inability to secure Hallowe'en invitations and deco rations in sufficient quantity. We have been a little more suc cessful this season, but our sup ply is limited. Our stock this season consists of invitations, decorated napkins, seals, place cards and decorated paper. Make your selections early and avoid possible disap pointment. Herald Publishing Co. SOME LATE BLACKBERRIES Mrs. J. II. Cranwell sent to our office Wednesday a sprig of blackberries with several berries that were still not ripe. The leaves showing signs of frost bite. These are indeed late blackberries. CARD OF THANKS We wish to thank our friends for the sympathy and kindness shown us at the loss of our darl ing baby. Mr. and Mrs. B. R. Weeks. Good Company. One good Uilker und one good list ener make the most satisfactory that, .ft-BulIuto Enquirer. was defeated in its attempt to have the sanitary laws enforced in the dairies and markets. Mrs. Johnsrn told of Raleigh having the highest rate of infant mortality of any town in the state, of their investigation into the sanitary conditions, ot pre senting their case to the city fathers in form of photographs, conditions that one would hardly believe. The Council put on food inspector and were forced to fire him, because the dairymen, butchers and grocerymen, or ganized and told the council they would notbe reelected unless this inspector was dismissed. Mrs. Johnson pointed outthat, had thej women at that time, had the bal lot they could have kept the in spector and the council too with their votes. Mrs. Johnson stated that she did not come to Roanoke Rapids to ask the women to juin "any party, but tha every one should join some party the same as they join the church ot their chou-e. Regarding the League of Na tions, Mrs. Johnson felt that it should not have been made a political issue, but that since such was the case, she felt that the duty of the women to support the party supporting the League was clear, insofar as the League was the best instrument so far devised to prevent war. Mrs. Johnson is a splendid speaker and held the absolute at tention of her audience for "the thirty minutes she addressed them, winning much applause. At the close of her address Mr. A.L. Clark conducted a question box and explained the election and primary laws, the power of the President and Congress, and many other questions of timely importance. AURELI AN SPRINGS COMMUNITY COMMUNITY MOTION P1TITDF ft ICIf rr ft IV ft W 1 Vft-4 W UlfaUlJ Opens Next Monday Night in the High School Auditorium. Five High Class Entertaining, Clean, Wholesome Mo tion Picture Programs. As announced before the Com munity Motion Picture Jubilee will be put on in the high school auditorium next week beginning Monday night. There will be five programs for paid admission and two or more programs given at 11 o'clock in the morning, which will be opened to the people of the community and the older school children absolutely free. This week the Jubilee is in Charlotte. It has already been presented in such towns as Dur ham, High Point, Gastonia and Salisbury. The very high est words of commendation are received from practically every place where the pictures have been shown. See below what Prof. Marr, City Superintendent of Schools, High Point, N. C, says about this picture. It was originally planned to give six programs but it seems best to the management to give five of these programs and two or three programs in the morn ing, which will be free. A tic ket to the five programs can be bought for $1. All school child ren will be admitted for 50c. On account of the difficulty in hand ling the film "From the Manger to the Cross," the management has decided not to present the picture in the Methodist Church Sunday night. The first pro gram of the Jubilee will come Monday night the other lour programs will come Wednesday and Thursday following. Here is what High Point N. C, said about the community motion, picture jubilee. Prof. W. M. Marr, Superin tendent of Schools, High Point, N. C, in writing of the jubilee, says in his letter of Sept. 30th. "The pictures were of the high est order, educational and in structive in many ways. Aside from that they were entertaining to the fullest extent; those child ren who were present hung on to the last flicker of the machine, and yearned for more. I want to commend to every community that wonderful picture, 'My Own United States.' It should be. pre sented to everv high school stu dent body in the country." "I am looking forward to the return of the Jubilee during the coming year." FRATERNAL NOTES I. O. 0. F. Carolina Lodge No. 225 I. 0. 0.

Living cVealurea That Are Immortal. In the Trotozoa, as iVeismnnn and others have pointed out, the recupera tive processes are so perfect that nat ural denth need never occur; the stable mortal parts of the colloidal substrat um can be reduced and restored piece meal, and the creature never grows old. It Is probable that the same Is true of a simple animal like the fresh water hydra, which may also be cred ited with Immortality. New Tork Herald.

METHODIST LADIES AID ' ENTERTAINS TEACHERS (Reported) The teachers of Rosemary an d Roanoke Rapids were entertain ed by the Ladies Aid Society of the First Methodist Church on last Friday night in the Sunday school rooms of the Church. This informal gathering was purposed for the meeting of the teachers and the Methodist par. ents of the town. The various pastors of other local congrega tions were invited guests. A large attendance of all expected par ties gave to the affair a splendid initiation even at the opening hour, eight o clock. Social inter mingling and introductions were generally indulged and the spirit of comradry was enthusiastically fostered throughout the pleasant hours of the evening. Interesting instrumental musi cal selections were afforded the occasion by Misses Julia Thomp son and Alice Hockaday and vo cal renditions exemplary of peculiar talent and training, by Mrs. W. S. Hancock, and Miss Alice Hockaday received deserved applause and due appreciation. An especial touch of lingual va riety were the French selections natively sung by Mrs. Vann White. To each of these the audience responded with distinct plaudits. Ice cream and cake served by young ladies of the Church, put an appropriate taste in the mouths of all and happily pro nounced the nearing conclusion of a delightful social occurrence. With an outspoken degree of gratitude toward the women who had so efficiently and thought fully arranged the details of the event, a hand-shaking was par ticipated in and farewells for the night closed an unusual fellow ship that might be aptly pattern ed after in the future days.
