I take this method of thanking each and every one for their loyal support in the primaries. I wish I could see each one of my friends personally and thank them for what they have done for sue. The vote -Saturday shows that the majority of the voters think that Mr. Brooks will make them a better sheriff than I have made, and I truly hope he will do so. I have tried to make a clean fight in this campaign, and have tried not to make any enemies. I have tried to treat each candidate as I would have him treat me. A clear conscience is worth more to me than the sheriff's office. Since I have been in the office I have tried very hard to give the people the service I thought they were expecting of me, and if I have failed in my duty in any way it was from the head and not from the heart. I don't want any one to think because I am defeated I will shirk my duty in any way. I will be in the sheriff's office until the first Monday in December and if ray service is needed in your section at any time, day or night, rain or shine, don't hesitate to call on me. I am standing ready to do my duty as long as I stay in the sheriff's office. There are a few people in this County who have made a very hard fight against me, and have said a lot Mrd things about me, but I hope day they will realise that they done me a great injustice. Again it to thank each and every one .../ frienda. for the hard fight and many kind things they have done for me. I hope some day I can be of as much service to all of you as you have been to me. With best wishes to one and all I am, Yours to seTve,.? J. Melvin Long, Sheriff. UNION MEETING OF AUXILIARIES?

Enlistment Campaign At the Annual Meeting of the Beulah Woman's Missionary Union in Yaneeyville in June many encour-j aging facts were brought out about the growth and development of the woman's work in Beulah. The per-; centage of churches in this Association engaged in active missionary work is unusually large. Of the twenty one churches In the association only three have no organized missionary work. The goal_of course, is 100 per cent enlistment, and in time that will come. Within the last three years the junior organizations have almost trebled themselves, the number of young people enlisted in mission study and mission giving, having gone considerably beyond the five hnndre3 mark. . All this in pTtrnnfno'iniy If* nrtyo'ri us'" to greater achievement. But the fact remains that there are still hun-, dreds of women in Beulah not yet! vitally concerned about missions. There are over a thousand women in Beulah; of these, four hundred sixteen! are enrolled as members of a W..MS. This leaves a field _Tor vast improvement. . In view of this fact it was decided at the Annual Meeting to put on an Enlistment Campaign during the next few months. The plan adopted Is for every present member of a mission-1 ary-Society to win- .another member. Every One Win One' is the slogan This plan puts every member to work with a definite aim which is entirely within her reach. It means that those who get busy first meet the readiest success. The minute the Annual Meeting closed a>l enthusiastic Caswell auiker came up with another womah: "I've got mine!" she said, her eyes shinning; and the woman won looked as happy as the winner. This is the kind of joyous activity that will put a world vision in every home in Beulah It is the kind of enthusiasm that will doable the number of missionarylihinded women in these two societies. Every delegate at the Annual Meeting voted for the plan, and therebypledged herself to discharge her own obligation and to do all she could to further the work in her own society. Tt urn <3 gncrcrpafnd Htnf r? q r*Vs en.^altr keep a complete list of its membership on the walls of its meeting place, and as each one wins one a gold star be placed by her name. The stars added to the list will make accurate recand flfc the same time spur others to'activity. At the next Annual Meeting there will be an Honor Roll of the societies achieving the best results. "Don't you want me to win yours while you're gone?" One enthusiastic worker asked another who was^ leaving home for several weeks. "No, sir- I want the pleasure of winning my own woman!" replied the other. It is indeed a pleasure, a privilege, to lead another woman into the joys of active missionary service; and the Beiilah W. M. U. daring the summer months will leave no stone unturned to enlarge this privilege. In, all the long history of the ~Sjtfthetn Baptist Convention, there /fas never been so crucial a period as the next four and a half months. The great 75 Million Campaign closes Dec. 1. Here is a challenge such as has never before come into the lives of most of us. It calls for our utmost, our supreme best, in love and service. Enlisting all our women in joyous missionary activity is one of the best things we can do.?T. Clyde Crowell, Charlie Harris, Wallace Woods and Clyde Bowen left Sunday for a trip to Western N. C.
