D PUBLISHER
ROXBOP
TO THE VOTERS
OF PERSON COUNTY.
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.

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.
