American Legion to Work
This roll call will be the first real
opportunity the soldiers have had to
show their appreciation for the mar
velous work v,. the Red Cross during
the war. That the soldiers thoroughly
appreciate this work, and are ready
to show their appreciation in a prac
tical way is evident from the fact
that in Lenoir the responsibility for
the city has been assumed by the Le
noir post of the American Legion.
The legion will put in the field men
who will go after Red Cross members
just as they went after German
scalps at Bellicourt and in the Ar
gonne. If anybody wants to know
what the soldier really thinks of the
Red Cross let him have the temerity
to refuse to become a member when
one of these soldier-campaigners
comes to him. '
In this campaign the. American
people will be asked to renew their
membership for 1920 and contribute
$15,000,000 for the future work of
the organization.
Foremost will be nation-wide activ
ity for the promotion of public health
and hand-in-hand with this crusade
will go a vigorous campaign for the
extension of the country's nursing
resources; the broadening of Red
Cross home service, which in the war
proved so helpful through the assist
ance it was able to give the families
of soldiers and sailors; to be of gen
eral usefulness where other social
agencies are lacking; greatly in
creased Junior Red Cross activities;
extension of relief resources for the
victims of the war In this country
and overseas, and preparation to ful
fill whatever duties may be laid upon
it as the official volunteer relief so
ciety authorized to assist the army
and navy.

MR. LOOPER, CALDWELL MAN,
SELLS TOBACCO
"Statesville warehousemen find
that tobacco grown in Caldwell coun
ty is, on the average, of a higher
grade than that rown elsewhere in
their trade territory," according to
Mr. W. M. Moore of the Statesville
Sentinel, who was here for the week
end to visit his family. "It seems,"
Mr. Moore said, "that the land in the
southeastern section of the county is
better adapted to the growth of the
weed than any other section of this
part of the tSate."
A number of Caldwell farmers are
selling tobacco on the Statesvile
market, Mr. Moore said. "Among
the Caldwell county tobacco growers
on that market during the past few
days was Mr. W. P. Looper of Gran
ite Falls. Mr. Looper's load of to
bacco weighed 490 pounds and sold
for $481.80, or an ayerage of 83
cents per pound."
In talking with Mr: Moore Mr.
Looper sai dthat he expected to real
ize about $2,000 from his tobacco
crop this year. Mr." Looper had
about seven acres of land in tobacco
this year, but said that he had a very
poor stand.
Mr. Looper has learned how to
make money on the farm. While to
bacco if his principal money crop, he
also realizes a good deal from the
sale of his surplus corn, wheat and
. livestock. And what Mr. Looper has
done, others can do. The thing can
be accomplished by others who are
willing to put as much time and en
ergy into it as he does.
RANSOM PAID FOR RELEASE OF
AMERICAN CONSUL
Release of William O. Jenkins,
American consular agent at Pueblo,
Mex., who was kidnaped by bandits
on Oct 19, was effected by payment
of the $150,000 in gold demanded bv
the captors, the State department at
"Washington was advised Monday by
-the American embassy at Mexico
City. The dispatch did not make
clear whether the Mexican govern
ment or friend sot Jenkins paid the
ransom.

JUDGE BOYD RETIRES
After serving almost two decades
as presiding officer of the United
States court for the western district
of North Carolina and following 40
years spent in public life, Judge Jas.
E. Boyd of Greensboro has asked
President Wilson to allow him to re
tire. It is thought Congressman Webb

Bishop Darlington Granted Request;
Members Up in Arms Over A.
nounceemnt of Change; A
Meeting for Protest
Lenoir Methodists cleared for ac
tion Tuesday when the announce
ment came that Rev. R. D. Sherrill
was to be sent 'to Waynesville. Tues
day afternoon and night there was
much caucusing among the stewards
and members until they succeeded in
getting in touch with Bishop Darling
ton at Charlotte and receiving his
assurance that Mr. Sherrill's appoint
ment would be changed back to Le
noir. The final announcement of
the change came Wednesday morn
ing. The announcement that Mr. Sher
rill was to be sent elsewhere came as
a complete surprise to the church
membership. It was generally under
stood that he was to come back to
Lenoir. He had only been here one
year and his congregation was well
satisfied with his work. He had suc
ceeded in bringing the new church
building out of debt and had done
efficient work as pastor.
Church officials who were in touch
with Bishop Darlington were in
formed tha tMr. Sherrill was given
another appointment because the
bishop understood that an embarras
sing situation had developed between
the church, or Mr. Sherrill and Pres
ident Craven of Davenport College.
The change was to relieve this unfor
tunate situation.

Reports Show a Great Period of
Growth Appointments Read;
Other Matters of Interest
to the Public
The Western North Carolina Meth
odist Conference, in session at
Greensboro, adjourned Monday after
selecting Salisbury as the next meeting-
place over Hicwory, which put in
a strong bid. Among many items of
general interest will be noted the
healthy growth as shown in the re
ports submitted.
The statistical and financial tables
show gratifying progress during the
past year. There has been an in
crease of 3,386 in church member
ship, the total having now reached
113,800. Number of Sunday schools,
820, number of officers, teachers and
scholars, 99,587. There are 11 pre
siding elders' districts and 469 pas
toral charges, including the 20 new
charges established by this confer
ence. The increase in the amount paid
pastors reaches $40,577. The grand
total raised for all purposes during
the past year amounts to the snug
sum of $1,202,648.
The churches, of which there are
859, are valued at $3,500,000, and
the 225 parsonages have a value of
$675,000. The conference has a joint
interest with the eastern conference
in Trinity College and Greensboro
College for Women and holds in its
own right Davenport, Rutherford,
Weaver colleges and Jefferson school.
The children's home at Winston
Salem is the property of the confer
ence and one of its most fondly cher
ished institutions.
The Western North Carolina con
ference, which has approximately
10,000 more members than its sister
conference, the North Carolina, is
the third largest in the entire church.
The two that excel numerically are
the North Georgia and the Virginia.
The conference went on record
against universal military training
and urged our Senators and members
of the House to use their influence
and votes to defeat the pending bill
or any other measure that would re
quire military training in times of
peace by all our young men.
Davenport College Report
One of the interesting reports com
ing to. the conference was that oi
Davenport College, whose president
is Rev. J. B. Craven. President Cra
ven is an educator of high ideals, and
at all times zealous for the most
thorough work to be accomplished by
his students. In consequence of the
standards maintained by this leader
in all things that are really worth
while in education, Davenport Col
lege has become one of the very best
schools in all this section for the
training of young women.

DR. COFFEY IS INTERESTED IN
S. C. OIL PROSPECT
Dr. L. H. Coffey, a local oil mag
nate who recently returned from a
trip through outh Carolina, tells of
the probable discovery of oil near
Clio, S. C. Dr. Coffey also has a
newspaper clipping from the Colum
bia State, which gives the history of
this phenomena near Clio. The clip
ping reads:
"About two years ago strong evi
dence of oil was discovered on the
plantation of C. H. Jackson at Five
Forks, near Clio. It was a very wet
season and an excavation that was
being made on the place became filled
with water that seeped in from below
ground. It was observed that a
heavy scum of greasy substance be
gan appearing on the surface of the
water, and though disturbed and
partially demoved each day, it read
ily reformed. Discussing this phe
nomena with acquaintances, they be
came curious and began investigat
ing and speculating on the probable
composition of the substance. A
newspaper which was saturated with
the substance burned with explosive
rapidity, which was sufficient evi
dence of oil possibilities to create
considerable excitement Reports
reached the newspapers and great
crowds drove there daily from all
parts of the Carolines to see for
themselves, foany of them carrying
away samples for the purpose of
analysis. Mr. Jackson himself had
samples analyzed and the unanimous
report was that the samples con
tained crude oil. Men who had lived
in Texas and other oil countries were
sure that oil was present, as the con
ditions of water, ground and general
appearance of the territory suggested
the presence of oil in large quanti
ties. Mr. Jackson was urged at the
time to develop the output and offers
from experts from all over the coun
try were heaped upon him, but he de
cided to wait until conditions were
more favorable 'before beginning the
project. Knowing what it means to
that section of the county to have it
known that oil is really to be found
there, the people have continually
been after Mr. Jackson to have the
land drilled, offering all kinds of as
surances of the success of the enter
prise. This he has finally agreed to
an dstates that a petition for a char
ter has "been mailed the secretary of
state, asking for, a commission to
create a corporation' of about $100,4
000, the estimated cost of carrying
the operations to definite conclu
sion, and he- hopes to begin opera
tions soon." f .
DREW GUN ON OFFICER,

Deputy Carroll Tolbert Arrested Two
Men With Keg of Whiskey; Re
sisted Arrest and Drewa
Gun; Men in Jail
Julius Reece of Wilkes county and
William McKinney are in jail here,
with Reece nursing a bullet wound
in the arm and shoulder, as a result
of their resisting arrest and drawing
a gun on Deputy Sheriff Carroll Tol
bert at Collettsville iMonday night.
Deputy Tolbert found Reece and
McKinney with a fiv-gallon keg of
whiskey near' the depot at Colletts
sUle Monday night and proceeded to
take the men in custody. Reece drew
a gun and had it leveled on the offi
cer when the latter shot him through
the right arm, according to a state
ment made by the. officer. The bullet
entered just back of the elbow and
ranged up the arm, coming out just
back of the shoulder. Following the
shooting Deputy Tolbert had little
trouble in placing both men under
arrest and bringing them to Lenoir,
where they were turned over to Sher
iff Triplett and lodged in the county
jail. The five-gallon keg of whiskey
was also brought in. In making the
arrest pistols were found on both
men.
The two men are scheduled to
come up for trial before Justice of
the Peace J. A. Bush Monday morn
ing at 11 o'clock.
EPISCOPALIANS END CONVEN
TION AT DETROIT
Adjourning to meet in Portland,
Ore., in 1922, the triennial general
convention of the Protestant Episco
pal Church in America late last Fri
day ended the most momentous ses
sion of its history. In the closing
service of the convention the church
was called upon through the pastoral
letter to squarely face its duty in the
new era and the. problems of the pe
riods of reconstruction. The con
vention just closed made church his
tory, leading men of the Episcopal
Church declare, and adopted legisla
tion destined to place, the communion
on a broadened plane in the eyes of
the entire Christian world. In this
connection they cite the following
four general points: '
First, the almost complete reorgan
ization of the church through the cre
ation of an executive council and the
granting of increased powers to pro
vincial synods.
Second, the. broadening of the
church's outlook on social matters,
industrial questions and international
affairs.
Third, the general approval of the
movement toward church unity by
amending the church constitution to
make possible the proposed con
cordat with the. Congregational
church, whereby ministers of that
church may be ordained in the Epis
copal faith, these amendments also
making possible similar agreements
with other denominations.
Fourth, the. broadening of the wor
ship of the church in revision of the
Book of Common Prayer and its en
richment. P01NDEXTER IS A CANDIDATE
FOR G. O. P. NOMINATION
Senator Miles Poindexter of Wash
ington, in a statement Tuesday to
the people of the United States, an
nounced his candidacy for the Repub
lican nomination for President and
submitted a platform of policies and
principles which he will advocate in
his campaign.
The Washington Senator in his
statement of policy, denounces
threats of la'bor leaders to tie up the
railroads as "government by terror,
for a special class," and declares that
the government must be made su
preme to both capital and labor,
though insisting that just claims of
labor should be recognized.
Communism, Senator Poindexter
declares, is inconsistent with the
vested rights of the laborer to his
wages.
Treating of international matters,
the platform remarks that the "pro
cess of making a 'supreme sacrifice'
of America and of 'joining our for
tunes with the fortunes of men ev
erywhere' should be stopped."
In making his statement of prin
ciples Senator Poindexter, who is the
first publicly announced candidate
for the Republican nomination, as
serted that his announcement of pol
icy makes it necessary for the Re
publican national convention in 1920
to stand by his platform should he be
chosen as the party's standard bearer.

TO ALL SERVICE MEN:
I call upon every previous ser

lend his unqualified support to the
campaign which begins Monday,
Nov. 2, for the enrollment of
members in the American Red
Cross.
To a man who has been in the
service no argument is necessary
as to the merits of this organiza
tion. You have seen the scope of
its work; you have felt the power
of its force.. But, comrade, it is
for you and me to see that this
great organization meets with the
success to which it is entitled. It
is for us not only to give our dol
lars, but to see that the indiffer
ent person gives his. Even though
the war is over the battles of the
Red Cross in caring for the maim
ed, the sick, the poverty-stricken;
its great work for humanity and
civilization has just begun. It
needs your help. It needs your
moral support. Won't you give
that with all your might?
I call upon you to assist the
local organization in your commu
nity in every way you can to
make this Roll Call a grand suc
cess. Caldwell county is allotted
4,000 members. Let's demon
strate the real Caldwell spirit and
put this campaign across.

SELECT QUERY FOR HIGH
T
Caldwell County Again Will Enter
Race for the Ay cock Cup; More
Than 300 Schools Are
Expected to Enter
More than 300 high schools are
expected to take part this year in the
h'gh school debating unicT of North
Carolina, conducted by the Univer
sity of North Carolina. The query
will be: "Resolved, that the United
States should adopt a policy of fur
ther material restriction of immigra
tion," and the final contest to decide
the Stite championship and the win
ner o fthe Aycock memorial cup will
be held at Chapel Hill early in April,
1320. Among this number Caldwell
county will be. represented. Already
plans are being made for a deter
mined effort to win the honors.
The high schools participating in
the debate will be arranged in groups
of three, each school having an af
firmative and a negative team, and
those schools winning both sides of
the debate will send their teams to
Chapel Hill for the final rounds and
the championship debate. A bulletin
containing outlines and arguments
on both sides of the. query and ref
erences to further sources of infor
mation is being prepared by the Uni
versity and will ibe sent to all schools.
This is the eighth year of the de
bating union, which was inaugurated
by the literary societies of the Uni
versity. In 1917 and 1918 more
than 300 schools in the State de
bated, and an average of 80,000 per
sons has heard the debates each year.
Durham high school won last year
and Wilson has won twice, though not
consecutively. A school winning
twice consecutively obtains perma
nent possession of the Aycock me
morial cup. donated by former inter
collegiate debaters of the University.
N. W. Walker is chairman of the
committee in charge and E. R. Ran
kin is secretary.
Twelve hundred women in sixty
six clubs are studying a course on
Americanization prepared by Mrs.
Thos. . W. Lingle of the bureau of

extension leaflets and embraces a
study of the peoples and the move
ments contributing toward the build

OF
TO
Part of 20th Field Artillery May
Visit Lenoir Traveling With
Full Equipment Guns
and Everything
Lenoir and this entire section of
the State will soon be visited by a
platoon of artillery from Camp
Bragg, Fayetteville, unless very un
favorable weather sets in and frus
trates plans of the war department
With the purpose of bringing about
a closer contact between the people
of North Carolina and the regular
army, the war department is inaugu
rating a tour by units of the fifth
field artillery brigade that will cover
practically the entire State. It is
the desire of the department to let
the people of the State see th troops
under actual conditions of active ser
vice, and for this reason the artillery
organizations will make the tour by
marches, or "hikes," from town to
town, with full field equipment. The
fifth field artillery brigade, at Camp
Bragg, is the only complete organiza
tion of the regular army stationed
within the State and is, therefore,
being used for this purpose.
Lieut. Col. H. C. Van Der Veer,
recruiting officer of Camp Bragg,
stated that motion pictures of the
30th (Old Hickory) division, in ac
tion in France, will be. used in con
nection with the tours of the regu
lars. Col. Van Der Veer also expects
to have films showing the various
types of army material and these
will be used likewise. Exhibition
drills will also be given by the artil
lerymen in order to give the people
an opportunity to become familiar
with the army material and its uses.
The units taken from the fifth bri
gade will be one platoon from each
of the three regiments composing the
brigade, which are the 19th and 20th
regiments of lifiht field artillery and
the 21st heavy artillery. The platoon
from the 20th field artillery, which
got away from Fayetteville last Fri
day, is scheduled to cover the west
ern and northwestern part of the
State. This will be a horse-drawn
platoon of American 75-millimeter
field guns. These guns have seen ac
tion in France, and guns, carriages
and caissons are camouflaged. It is
in command of Capt. William P.
Metts, a native of Columbia, S. C.
The platqon from the 19th field ar
tillery, comprising two gun sections,
is covering eastern Carolina.
The. heavy artillery, comprising a
platoon fro mthe 21st field artillery,
left Camp Bragg Monday. This pla
toon will cover the western and
southwestern portion of North Caro
lina. It will work over to Charlotte,
visiting the intermediate towns. The
rest of the itinerary has not yet been
arranged, but as much of the country
beyond Charlotte will be visited a
the continuance of warm weather
will permit. This platoon carries the
155-millimeter howitzer and is trac-'tor-drawn,
the 'big guns and caissons
being pulled by 5-ton army traction
machines.
The campaign will be kept up un
til the coming of cold weather inter
feres, and Col. Van Der Veer hopes
to keep the three platoons out till
Christmas, that from the 20th field
artillery covering the north central
and northwestern part of the State,
the 19th covering the south central
and eastern section, and the 21st the
west and southwest.
I These organizations represent the
artillery brigade of the fifth division.
The brigade was engaged in the Saint
Die sector and heavily engaged in the
St. Mihiel offensive, in the vicinity
of Thionville. The fifth, known as
the Red Diamond division, performed
one of the most remarkable feat of
the war, when n the Meuse-Argonne
offensive, it forced the passage of the
Meuse river under fire and establish
ed a bridgehead. Gen. Pershing de
clared in his report to the war de
partment that this was the only in
stance recorded in the war of tha
forced passage of a large river and
the establishment of a bridgehead,
under fire.
RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN IS
ALREADY UNDER WAY
Local organizations throughout the
State are being rapidly perfected for
the Red Cross Christmas seals cam
paign for 1919 from Dec. 1 to 10.
Seventy-five communities have com
pleted preliminary organization for
the. work already, and by the first ot
November it is expected that every
town and city in the State will b
prepared to handle the sale of thes
little, messengers of hope and better
health. ,
The campaign in North Carolina
is being directed by Dr. L. B. Mc
Brayer, superintendent of the Stat
sanatorium for the treatment of tu
berculosis, and executive, secretary ot
the State Red Cross seal commission.
This is the sixth year the seals have
been offered for sale, and the indi
cations are that North Carolina will
more than double any previous high
record. All the money obtained if
used for the prevention and cure of
tuberculosis. ' . .
