WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENT
President Wilson Averts a CrisisS
. ,..11
Washington, D. C. Aug. 10,Hhalf ' so read a letter iust receiv-
1924. Financial disaster with lis
until President Wilson announcedi
through .Secretary McAdoo that
the Treasury stood ready to f urn-:
ish five hundred millions ($500,0004'
000) to the banks of the country
with which to meet demands if
needed7 to tide over any financial
emergency. This announcement'
had a wonderful effect in main-
tainingthe financial equilibriiunily in regards to those County
of the country for the sudden stop-f
page of our foreign commerce
amounting to over four billion an
nually, is sufficient to throw any
financial system into convulsions;
and yet the wise and masterly!
statesmanship of Woodrow Wilson!
has already steered us through the
danger zone into a position of com-J
partive safety.
Offers to Mediate.
President Wilson has again en
deared himself to the whole civi
lized World by tendering his good
offices as a mediator to the war
ring powers. It is doubtful how
ever, if anything can restore peace
except, the overwhelming and
crushing of Germany, which seems.
to be the "fall" she has been play
ing for,
Mad-Man Plunges 300,000,000
People Into a Bloody War.
It is the acts of one man, a mad
man, drunk with power and mad
with militaryism, that plunged all
Europe into war, the German Em
peror Dominating the triple alli
ance consisting of Germany, Aus
tria and Italy, he expected to make
dumselfi the master anictatbrlJuiir tlfe morning and cook" tfreak
Europe, But alas Italy says she is
not assisting in a war of aggress
ion and notwithstanding his piti
ful pleading for help, and Austria
seems to be getting "cold feed',
although it was she, through whom
Germany precipitated the War,
though Emperor William is vain
ly trying to blame the war first on
Russia and then on France.
Stranded Americans in Europe.
Congress has appropriated $2,
500,000 to bring home the two
hundred thousand Americans
caught in Europe by1 the War, as
they had no warning whatever,
for the German Emperor plunged
Europe into the war, like a clap
of thunder out of a clear sky.
Gold Mine for the Farmers.
While Americans are deploring
this not only cruel and barbarous
but most unnecessary war, we can
not overlook the fact that it will
pour wealth into the pockets of
tlie American Farmers, for it will
raise the price of that bumper crop
of grain and foodstuff to a very
high figure all over Europe-.
Child Life Chapter to Be Formed
There has been a representative
in Roxboro for the past several
days in the interest of the Ameri
can Institute. of Child Life. There
will be a meeting of those inter
ested in the formation of a chap
ter of the American Institute of
Child Life at the home of Mrs.
Luther M, Carlton.
For Sale

them cheap for cash. We had

Mrs. Jnp. A. Noell Entertains.
Yesterday morning from 10 to
12 o'clock Mrs. Jno. A. Noell en-
tertained;at her country home, the
Pines, in honor of Mrs. Hayden
Holmes. -Quite a large number
were present and after a game of
Rook refreshments were served.
From Aliens ville.
fIt will be impossible for you
td. vQyer know how much I appre-
preciate your efforts in my be-
ed'by Richard. Such letters as
these always makes me feel like I
Jiave been of service to some one,
and while it is next to impossible
to say or do anything before the
public that will not meet with a
certain amount of criticism, I find
that so far a verv lare mflinHtv
m - ,i v
of the very best people agree with
me on most subjects, and especial
girls as teachers
for our public
schools.
It has been my pleasure to at
tend a protracted meeting which
has been in progress during the
last week from August 2nd to
August 7th, and to say the least I
I greatly enjoyed these services.
Brother J. H. Gordon conducted
this meeting, assisted by Brothers
William Davis, T. H. Street and
Blind Wilborn, and notwithstand
ing Brother Gordon said h6 had
been preaching every day for
three or four' weeks I don't think
I have ever known him to do bet
ter than he did at this meeting.
There were many conversions,
thirteen joined the church. The
male members of" this church
work, and while I like to see this,
and there is no question but what
it tends to better the community
in which I live, I cannot but sy
mpathize most with the mothers
who attend these meetings. It
seems to me that no other motive
other than the hope that they are
serving 'God could prompt then;
to do so much. They have to get
rast, milk the cows, churn, cook
dinner to take to church, wash
and dress a half dozen children
and then dress themselves, wThile
many of the husbands keep on the
same suits they had worn the day
before and quietly sit and smoke
on the front porch until time to
start for church. I do not believe
that half of the husbands have
stopped to consider whether he is
doing justice by his wife or not.
And to say that these good women
furnished dinner a plenty is
speaking mildly. Notwithstand
ing the very large attendance
each day there seemed to be
plenty of dinner for as many
more, and Richard got so many
invitations to eat that it almost
made him wish he had a trunk
like an elephant to store the good
things away for future use, as ra
tions are 'not over plentiful with
Richard at home. This church is
fast coming to the front as one of
the leading churches of the Coun
ty. So much for Brother Gordon
as he has built his church up
from practically nothing to where
it now stands. Poor Richard.
Premium List.
Your attention is called to the
premium list for the Person Coun
ty Fair Association which is .pub
lished in another column. You will
please cut this out for future refer
ence. It is earnestly hoped that
every citizen and every lady of the
County will take an active interest
in the fair this year, as the manag
ers are very anxious to make the
opening a success, and this will be
impossible without the help of the
people of the County.
