Premier Lloyd George is never so happy as when swapping stories a bout his boyhood duys with old cron ies of his native Wales. During his last visit here he gave u tea party to V.) ancients who were his father's pupils at Troedyrallt school more than 00 years ago. The senior "old buy" was John Jones, .tl, who still works as a carpenter. Next to Jones was William Davies, an ussista.it teacher under the Premier's father, who testified to the hitter's hamliness, wiith the cane on occas ions. Another guest' was John Will iams, now blind, who used to cany love messages between the Premiier's father and mother. The "old boy" told their host many stories of his father he had never he never heard before and alll were in the best spirits. Old John Jones made the premier roar with laughter by the quaint way he told a story of the local indigatioii many years ago, when a minister preached from a text another minister had used the pre vious Sunday. Mr. Lloyd George always tries to take tings easy while here, but mem bers of his cabinet and newspapers men seldom let a day go by without appropriating part of his tim Getting up late in the morning, working in the garden, and listen ing to Welsh music are his chief pleasures during his visits, and when the weaUiej-. is threatening he sits on his covered balcony wrapped in a gaudy shawl. "They Say" he remarked on his last visit, "that I must go back to school in a few days. They say I am playing truant. Yet they all followed me, including the newspaper. 1 wish they would leave me alone foe at least a fortnight; it would be better for them, and certainly better for me." RELIEF.

ATTEND CALVARY FRIDAY, APRIL YET. PROVIDED FOR FROM E! Forty-nine little children entrust ed to the sacred care of North Caro lina .rt dependent on Edgecombe county for their lives and to date only five of them have been provided for. This is the message sent to the good people of Edgecombe county at Eastertide by Rev. B. B. Slaughter, of Tn';boro, chairman of the Edge combe county committee of the Near East Relief. Edr.ecombc is asked to raise $3040 this year, as its share of North Car olina'. S200.000 for this great child sav'mjr work. To date, barely $M00 has been received for this work from Edgecombe county, which will just take cure of live of these children. Unless the remainder is forthcom ing before June 30th, Col. George II. Bellamy, of Raleigh, state chair man, in a message to the Southerner today declared, many of these chil dren will have to be turned out of our orphanages to starve on July 1.

Dou glass, u pro'iii'ient young attorney, is chairman c-f the speakers bureau. So efficient is the work of the Near Ea;t Belief that each child is clothed, fed and taken care of on $o a month, or $00 a year. Many per sons are "adopting'' one of these children by signing a pledge card, which can be furnished by Chair man Slaughter or the .state office at Ralegh, and agreeing to ay $," a 'month for the period of one year. Just us soon as this card is received, it s assigned t a specific child and its life 'is assured for another 12 ' Months. In appealing to the people of this county to aid in raising this quota. Col. Bellamy said : "Many of these children are vic tims 'f the great war when their fathers were killed in defense of the vast Baku oil fields. Military ex perts agree that failure of Germany to get this precious oil supply short ened, the war by many months. "Had the war been prolonged, there uie-.many. North Carolina boys back home today who would other wise be sleeping beneath a wooden cross France. North Carolina can not see the children of these heroes starve to death." N.
