to .Governor Bickett to come down
and talk to the boys from Carolina,
but he was unable to accept thp in
vitation. So I went up to the Y.
lil C. A. at Pans and heard Govern
or Manning deliver a speech to the
South Carolinians. He has five
sons in the service, and made us a
. fatherly, heart-to heart talk. After
the Governor's speech, General Fate-
on made a few remarks, in - which
he said that he could give us no
better advice than that contained
in a story, which was related by
Governor Bickett. The Governor
said that a young man was leaving
his home in the mounrams of North
Carolina and . that his father was
telling him goodbye. Well," he
said, "Goodbye John. Give the Ger

CHAPTER ORGANIZED
The Jackson County Chapter of
the American Red Cross was for
mally organized Tuesday evening
February 19, by Mrs. 0. K. Morgan
of Johnson City. Tenn. Short .talks
on R-d Cross work were given by
Rev. J. A. Cooke, wh acted as tem
porary chairman, M . Eugene Ward,
of Asheville and Mr. Mor4an.
The following officers were elect
ed: M.Buchanan. JhairmAn- T O
Wilson, Vice Chairman: A. J. Dills
Secretary; M D. Cowan, Treasurer
Executive Committee: Rev. J. A
Co ke, Dr. D. D. Hoc.jer, Dr. A. A.
Nichols, Mr. E. L. MiKee. Mr. T. . J.
Powers, Mr. W. J. Morns, Mr. J. V.
! Keener. Prof. J C. la, ram.
I The work room will continue un
der the direction oi the chairman,
Mrs. Mary C. Brinscn. Much credit
for the success of our Chapter and
in our workroom is due to Mrs,
Brinson's untiring efforts.
Mrs. Jack Morris.
Retirii g Secretary.
Fred McCoy of Camp Sevier,
spent the week here with friend
jumuiate in 250 years.
That we are a people who waste
Mr
Stephenson doesn't hesitate to n
He has facts to prove it. The aver
age wealth per family in North
Carolina, he says, is $845, or $169
per capita. Recent surveys show
that a fair standard of living calls
for . 709 per family or $142 per
capita. This leaves a nr
$136 per family or $27 per capita
which is far above that required by
an efficient standard of living.
"If every individual," says Mr
Stephenson, "will save his $27, this
year and lend to the Govp
only $16.72 of that amount, which
he has been asked to do by the Gov
ernment by purchasing War Sav
ings Stamps, United States Govern
ment Bonds. North Carolina then
will have no trouble in raising her
$50,000 000 the amount apportion'
tionert her for financing the War."
ini Mr. Stephenson thinks the
peopie will do, and believes that
trom this year on North Carolina
wi become a State of savers and
will leave her unenviable position
at bottom of the list of savers."
The Red Cross wishes to take this-'
means of thanking M. H. Morris for
a uou oi material for the use '
making garments and bandages.
