- Miss Alii* McNeill of Atlanta es
taWished tomporar> headquarters in
KoWtmmßi ahere the wounded
ham bee* cared for and the hungry
fed.
A large Majority of the assistance
has been in the form labor to help
rebuild the hones and to clear away
the trash from the fields so the crops
may be cultivated It has been a daily
occurence to see people streaming
to the scenes laid waste by the storm
with saw «nd hammer to help pro
ride simple and temporary shelter for
their neighbors.
Women are am with pillows, sheets
*WI clothing, dresses for the children
and many things large and small to
supply the immediate needs of the
unfortunate ones.
Much of the better side of man has
been seen in the sympathy and help
shown all along the line.
Sufficient cash has been donated to
meet the needs in a reasonable way
up to the present time.
One thousand dollars were donated
Sunday by visitors to the scene. The
Red Creas at Bethel raised *6(10 00 in
cash and most of the towns in this
section have donated liberally in cash,
making tfce fund to date about s*,ooo.
lajared ia Hospitals
There are four white people in the
tireenville hospital, ene with a broken
back, the others with broken limbs.
There is one colored man in the
Washingt«*u hospital with an ampu
tated leg. Beside.- these there are a
bout ten others with broken limbs or
•Cher aerioua wounds. The large ma
jority of U«e who were wounded
have recovered sufficiently to be up
and moat of them at work.
The Red Cross realizing one of the
greatest needs of the stricken district
is to get hark to the farm v-ork in
order that crops may be produced,
has sent £S tents from Atlanta to be
used' by the farmers who are not pre
pared or not able to rebuild im
mediately. This will enable them to
build later when not so badly strain
ed with farm work.
In looking over the list of donations
we failed to discover Williamston's
amount. It may be that we overlooked
it. Correction or action would help
us to understand- We feel sure mud
help has been rendered by this im
mediate section, however, in various
ways.
Dr. T. B|U Boy«i will leave tonight
for Winston Salem where he will at
tend the State Convention of Chiro
practors which wit convene in the
Robert E. Lee hotel during the re

THE ENTERPRISE
REV. SAM SMALL
TO SPEAK AT
BAPTIST CHURCH
Famous Southerner and
Is Connected With
Anti Saloon League
Rev. Dr. Sam Small will speak at
the Williamston Memorial kaptut
church, Sunday May 18, S p m. uixkr
the direction of the Anti-Saloon
League of America and the Anti-Sa
loon League of North Carolina,
arrangements are in the hands of Rev.
R. S. Shirley.
I This famous Southerner is again with
the Anti-Saloon League of America,
and will spend Ids remaining years or.
the platform for that orjtanajii.-i:
He has been heard in every; stale
in the Union many times ami otscn
in the other lands of the earth. Few
men in America have led as a long a
career in the movement for prohibi
tion as he has had. Perhap> no man's
name is more permanently identified
with* thus movement as that of Sam
Small.
For many years a partner of S=m
Jones, under whom he was converted
forty years ago while filling the
place of a prominent editor and public
official, Sam Small seon became know n
as a great evangelist in the principal
cities of the United State* and Canada
His conversion led him all the way
into the fight against every evil, and
his voice was lifted against the liqtoi
traffic in a day when such a protest
was not very popular even in the
church.
As a very young man he was ad
mitted to the bar He then became
private secretary to fi-IV-Went An
drew Johnson. For many years he
was an nlitur of Southern paper.-
notably the Atlanta Constitution, arwi
is still a staff specialist of that revrs
paper. l"n«ter appointment of President
Hayes he served as secretary '« the
American Commission in Paris in 1898
aiui as a delegate to the I i.terfiat onal
Literary Congress. White with the
United State* Army in Cuba in IK9»
he was military supervisor of public
instruction, and helped to recognize
the public schools of the island.
The wont eloquent is the weakest
word that mirht he used in dewrib
ing his platform ability. He seem; to
■Tow stronger and more convincing
as an orator as the years f» on. lie
has a rare fund of huwtor, wit and
sarcasm. and he is a siron* and con
vincing protagonist of moral and legal
reform and civic righteousness.
His meetings are free and both
women and men are invited
He will speak at Plymouth Friday
evening.
