Spiritual Week Nov. 4-11 to Be
Observed by ConRregations
of Nine Churches
FULL PROGRAM EACH DAY
An approaching event that is uni
que and of more than ordinary inter
est is the Spiritual Home Coming to
be observed at Union Presbyterian
Church the week of November 4th
to 11th. Plans for this home coming
have been worked out by the session
of the church in conjunction with the
pastor, the Rev. C. A. Lawrence, and
a program of unusual merit has been
arranged.
A brief backward glance into the
history of the church is necessary for
a complete understanding of the pro
gram as mapped out. Union Church,
located about half way between Vass
and Carthage, was organized in 1917,
but her influence extends even far
ther back than that, for as early as
1785, almost a century and a halt
ago, the Scotch settlers were meet-
The Southern Pines Branch, ot
which Mrs. J. S. Milliken is chair
man, was host to the branch chair
men of the Moore County Chapter of
the American Red Cross at the Civ
ic Club last Thursday afternoon,
with Robert E. Denny, chairman,
presiding. Thomas Kelley, former
county chairman welcomed the visi
tors and presented Mrs. Edgar T.
Chapman who delighted the audience
and gave the meeting an inspiration
al opening by recounting her exper
iences as a Red Cross worker dur
ing the World War. The attitude ex
pressed by Mrs. Chapman was a stim
ulus to the branch chairmen whose
immediate activity w’ill be the con
duct of the Annual Roll Call to be
gin November 11th.
The chairman pointed out the great
opportunity which the Roll Call pre
sents to citizens and visitors in
Moore coimty to restore the Ameri-;
can method of meeting want, distress |
and disaster by re-establishing by a |
large membership the American Red

Boyette Sees
U nprecedented
Victory at Polls
In a statement to The Pilot on
Wednesday M. G. Boyette, cnairman
of the Moore County Democratic
committee, said:
“In my opinion it is not a question
of who is going to win in the election
on November 6th—it is a question of
how much the Democratic majority
will be. Two years ago I predicted the
Democratic majority w'ould be 1000
the average majority was 1750. The
Republicans have no talking jwints
this time, and they are very quiet
and inactive, while on the other hand
Democrats are loud in their praise
of President Roosevelt and recovef^y.
There is every reason why persons
should vote straight Democratic this
time, and they in my opinion are go
ing to do it in no small way. 1 have
heard of a number of old time Ko-
publicans from all parts of the coun
ty who say they are not only going
to vote Democratic, but will do what
they can to get their friends and |
neighbors to do likewise. All sig^s;
point to an unprecedented Democrat
ic victory.”

Fair Play on
Election Day
In a statement to The Pilot this
week Herbert F. Seawell, Jr., candi
date for the Legislature, issues a
plea for a fair and square election
next Tuesday. Says Mr. Seawell:
“The most important part of an
election is that it be conducted fair
ly and squarely. That people be allow
ed to go to the polls and vote their
own minds without influence or par
tisan action at the polling places.
Most people know how to mark their
ballots and to have a hired marker,
grabbing a man by the arm and rush
ing him through the process of cast
ing his ballot is an insult to the in-1
tslligence of the voter. I appeal to
the judges of the election and those
in charge of the election machinery
to see to it that this sort ot conduct
is not tolerated at any polling place.
“Unfortunately the party in power ^
usually takes charge of polling places
and attempts have been made to inti
mate voters when they arrive at the
polls. I have seen men w’ho were fair
and of high character in all walks of
life, except in politics. Politics thus
rightfully got the name of being

A political campaign as listless and
uneventful as any in the history of
Moore county comes to an end with
sunset next Tuesday night when bal
lot boxes will be closed and the elec
tion officials befin their tabulation of
the votes. In only two cases have Re
publican candidates shown any real
right during the pre-election weeks,
Herbert F. Seawell, Jr., of Carthage

election to the lower house of the
General Assembly, and A. G. McDuf-
rie of Carthage, asking county-
wide support of his candidacy for
