Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 20th According an announcement made at the louthern headquarters of the Ameri f Red Cross today, W. Barham pavfo prominent citizen of Warren T and principal of the State Hh School of that city, has been ap pointed chairman of the- Warren chapter of the Red Cross in the Third Red Cross Roll Call, November 2-11. The Third Red Cross Roll call will be a nation-wide drive, participated in bv the men and women of America without regard to differences of class 0,. creed, for the sum of $15,000,000 ind for 20,000,000 members. The southern division's quota for the fiv-2 States of Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina is 750.000 and for 2,000,000 members. While it is the confident belief of Fed Cross leaders that the nation will respond readily to the plea for $15, 000,000, they are even more confident that every man, woman and child vo wtor. the appeal is made will not fail t give the dollar that makes him a Member of the greatest humanitarian organization the world has ever known. The Red Cross, state directors of the campaign, comes before the Amer ican people with a proud record of service to their soldiers and sailors in the world war, a record which deserv es the acclaim of every American and which has received the endorsement of every man in blue or khaki who saw it in the making. Its war work nearly ne:the Red Cross has come home to it: own people to ask that they sup port it in its plans to do for America the same thing that it has done for America's righting men and for the su-Tering peoples of Europe. The money that is raised in this campaign will be devoted only in small part to finishing the adminis tration of the relief supplies which the United States government has en trusted to the Red Cross to distribute among the stricken populace of the Balkans and other small ' European nations. The major portion of it will be used tc carry on the peace-time program of the Red Cross, which will be directed toward making America a cleaner, safer, happier country for all Americans. Community nursing, pre vention of disease, building up of pub lic health and a host of other benefic ent ideas are included in the plans ot the Red Cross for the future. The Third Roll Call will make possible the fulfillment of those plans and insure the successful maintenance of the ?reat machine that has been built up ring the war for war purposes and W'H now be devoted solely to the ac tivities of peace.

County Doc tors Raise Jb ees A called meeting of the Warren County Medical Society was held in Warrenton on the 17th inst. and the following members were present: Drs. T. J. Holt, of Wise, N. D. Morton, of .Norlina, and C.H. Macon, W. D. Rodgers, C. H. Peete, of Warrenton. The relation of the present medical fees with the increasecTcost of living was discussed, and the following scale of fees, showing a slight in crease over the present scale, was adopted to take effect at "once; viz: Office call, $1.50, and up, according to the nature of the case. Town call, one visit, $2.50; addition al visits, $2.00 each. Out-of-town call, one (1) mile, $2.50 two (2) miles to (3) three miles, $3.00; thereafter for each additional mile fifty (50) cents is chai'ged. And for very bad roads or weather the charge will be some more. Obstetrical cases are $25.00 and up, depending on distance, time, compli cations, etc. Special examinations are $5.00 and more, and surgical cases are $10.00 and up. . The Warren County Medical Syiety begs to call attention to the fact that this is the first increase in the charges of the doctors since 1914, while in the meantime the cost of living has in creased over 100 per cent. It was also decided to discontinue at once the use of profession cards in tue newspapers. M ANSON ITEMS Quite a number of our people at tended the Fair at Henderson ' last week. Mr. R. L.

' The Redpath Bureau conducts Chau- tauquas in alp parts of the United States and furnishes talent for Ly ceum courses in every state of the union. For more than a -half century emi nent lecturers and great musicians have appeared under Redpath man agement until the name Redpath has become synonymous with excellence in both Lyceum and Chautauqua. The Redpath Bureau was founded in 1868 by James Redpath who set up the high ideals as to talent and ser vice which have ever since been main tained, by the bureau which bears his name. Any community which maintains a Redpath Chautauqua in the summer and a Redpath Lyceum course in win ter renders a real and distinct service to its people and advertises itself to the world as alive and progressive. Want Facts For History The North Carolina Historical Com mission is canvassing the entire State for letters, diaries, pictures, news paper clippings in fact, all materials of any nature that throw light on North Carolina in the World War. R. B. House, Collector of War Records for the Historical Commission, is con ducting this canvass by going to the sources of such official records as Red Cross Chapter Histories, Local Board reports, etc., by 'Organizing volunteer committees to assist him in the va rious counties, and by going himself from community to community all over the State. These materials canvassed for, val uable as they are, will perish very rapidly unless-they are stored where fire, rats, and other destroying agen cies cannot get at them. Practically the only safe depository for such things is the fireproof Hall of History in' Raleigh, built to preserve just such things as these. Realizing the necessity of preserv ing these valuable records, the last General Assembly appropriated mon ey for the .work, and directed the His torical Commission not only to collect all data possible about North Carolina in the World War, but to prepare si complete history of the State's life in that great event. By this act the General Assembly placed North Caro lina among the most progressive States in the Union, for North Caro lina was among the first States to in augurated a work that all the other States are now taking up. The General Assembly realized that history is essential to a common wealth, and therefore placed this work on a stable foundation. The General Assembly but expressed the will oi the State, and, since this will is so wisely recorded in the establishment of this work of collecting war records, it is the presumption of the Historical Commission that the people of the State are going to give the materials essential to history. The fine success already attained by the public spirit of individual donors of material shows that North Caro linians want their State fully repre sented in history. Almost every person in the State has a letter, a picture, or something that would be of value. Whatever he has, he should communicate informa tion about it, or send it to R. B. House, Collector, of War Records, North Car olina Historical Commission, Raleigh, N.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 16. The twenty ninth reunion of the United ; Confed erate veterans, which has just come to , a close in Atlanta, was a record breaker in more ways than one. Not a single veteran died during the four days and not a single veteran, in the opinion of competent . medical authorities, left Atlanta at the end of the re-unioii so sick or weak or tired that he will soon die from the effects of his strenurns time. And this, too, despite the fact thai, reunion week had one of the heaviest, and most violent rainstorms in Atlan ta's history, a storm that drowned out the Confederate camp and had every body apprehensive for the health and safety of its ten thousand occupants. Credit for this splendid showing due to many causes, to the veterans themselves for their grit and pluck, tothe reunion committee which plan ned so wisely for their comfort, to the Boy Scouts who were their constant guides x and friends, and to the thous ands of individual Atlantians who did their level best to help 'the veierans at all times. Especially did the response of Atlantians to the emergency on the day of the rainstorm, when hundreds of people drove their automombiles to Piedmont Park voluntarily to get vet erans, proved to the veterans that the hearts of 'all vAtlanta's people were theirs. There is one organization, however, , more directly concerned with preserv ing the health and lives of the vet erans, than any other and that is the American Red Cross. As one old man expressed it, about to depart home ward with a pair of Red Cross paja mas hanging out, ofone pocket and a. pair of Red Cross socks sticking from' another: "When my wife kept a-knittin' and a-knittin' for the, soldiers in France, I uster tell her she was workin's too hard and it wasn't necessary. , But I'm here to say now that if it wasn't for the Red Cross and, its knitters and its nusses, I mightn.'t be here to tell it. They give me socks when my feet was wetter'n sponges,-they give me hot coffee when I was shiverm; cold inside, they give me sandwiches when my stummick was cryin' like a baby and they dosed me with some sort o' pills that had my old blackberry bit ters beat a city , block. And they knocked the influenza clean to Goshen! Me for the Red Cross; We didn't have 'em. in the Confederate war, but we gottem now and I say, 'We couldn't do without 'em!" . What the Red Cross actually did was to operate four medical aid stations at the camp, at the two railroad stations and at the city auditorium, with nur ses and doctors on Dr. Frank K. Bo iand's staff , of volunteers on duty day and night; to distribute warm under clothing and dry socks that practical ly saved the lives of many veterans during the wet spell; to help secure churches and homes for the veterans 'hen th were rained out. to trans port supplies, patients, stretchers, garbage pails, cooking utensils and other materials when they , were badly needed; to serve hot coffee and sand wiches day and night at the trains; to keep ambulances N on the job dur ing the parade and nurses who in spected the veterans before the marph, getting automobiles for those not fit to walk, watched over them and picked up those who dropped out, and when it was over supplied food and drink to the worn-out old men. . The entire Red Cross staff, partic ularly the nurses, worked like , beav ers the entire week, but when it was over, they declared the long hours and the heavy, tasks were more than com pensated by the courtesy, the kind ness and the gratitude of the old sol diers they served. After all, the one quality we ask in an executive is the ability to get the job done. ! When the Boss puts an 0. K. on your work it doesn't always mean he's entirely satisfied he may be in a hur ry to get out to the golf links. success.
