PUBLIC MEETINGS HELPED
Mm Meeting at Court House and
Junaluska Inn Helped Haywood
Over the Top in Liberty Bond
Campaign -:, .
i Unquestionably the two public
meetings last week at the court
house Thursday and at Junaluska Inn
Friday night helped materially in
putting Haywood county over the top
in the Liberty Loan campaign. They
advertised the matter and they
crystallized public sentiment
The court room was fairly well
filled. J. R. Boyd, chairman for the
county, asked Attorney t. L. Green
to preside. After a few selections by
the band, Mr. Green made the open
ing statement that the county's quota
was $96,000, that we still lacked
considerable of . having met it and
that the time had now arrived for
definite and decisive action. He in
troduced Captain Howell as the first
speaker. ,, The Captain protested
against not being given any warning
that he was to be called upon but, all
the same, he made an extemporaneous
speech that hit the bull's eye in many
places. The gist of his remarks is
printed elsewhere in this issue.
The next speaker, was Rev. Albert
New, rector of the Episcopal church,
who spoke briefly but very much to
the point We have had enough of
speechifying, said he; it's now time
for action. If you don't fork over
the German Beast will make you
for it's either Liberty Bonds or Ger
man Bonds. He believed there should
have been more publicity throughout
the month's campaign. (In which we
think he is absolutely right .If there
was any publicity committee we nev
er heard of it. If there was any or
ganized effort, we never learned of
it.) Mr. New also advocated putmsn-
ing the names of all contributors and
amount subscribed. We liave a right
to know who are supporting the gov
ernment and who are not.
Rev. W. B. West, who could speak
effectively for two hours on German
Purposes, Practices and Our Partial
nation, had a hard time trying to ex
press his opinions on the subject in
the ten minutes alloted each speaker.
He complimented Captain Howell on
his selection of strong epithets for ex
pressing American opinion of the
German and practically admitted that
only a man addicted to the use of pro
fanity could properly express nun
self. He abhors profanity but his ad
vice is, if you must cuss, cuss the
Germans. The German aim is the
domination and enslavement of all
mankind to the Prussian. For . 45
years he has instilled that teaching
into the mind of German youtn unm
they really believe that Germany
divine mission is to conquer. And
we shall have to kill a whole lot of
Germans in order to compel them to
disgorge the territory they have al
ready overrun, devastated and con
quered. I believe we are not only go
ing over the top in this bond drive
but that we shall eventually drive the
savages back to their original terri
tory. Rev. A. V. Joyner made a very
forceful appeal to our sense of duty
by developing the thought, , "What
have I done for the boy next door."
He has no sons in battle but many of
his neighbor boys are. What's our
duty to these boys who were neigh
bors of ours? And when is the hor
ror of this war to cease? Only when
America stops it The big end of the
war ia or us. We now pray that
the allies can hold out until our boys
can get across. But if .we send our
men there, we . must also send our
money. A hungry man can't fight
W don't know anything about sacri
ficinggiving of our money is no real
sacrifice. Do more than your bit
Let's do our level best
Chairman Green said Canton had
already met her quota, that $61,000
remained to be raised and we were
$20,000 short. He called on J. R. Boyd
who explained that many farmers had
dan welfa that Iron. Duff township
had subscribed $6,000, Ivy Hill $5,000
and Crabtree $4,000 so far reported
to kiin. . .
XE. Cararway, J. D. Boone, J. R.
Boyd and F. W. Miller were asked 4
hand out subscription blanks and an-
mum subscriptions. When M. H.
Reeves and fanuly subscribed for $V ,

narfona lobby of Junaluska Inn. i.
band played. Prof. Vermont started
in a very low tone of voice but 'soon
had the closest attention. He used
very simple language and no oratory
and with a map of Europe before him
he showed the Prussian war lords
had through several centuries past
gradually gobbled up the territory
now embraced in the German empire.
Then he showed up the Hun ambition
to include Belgium and France and
eventually annihilate England, sub
jugate Russia and then collect his
war expenses from America. When
he spoke of the brutalities practiced
upon the people of his native land by
the invaders there were tears in many
eyes. He closed with an effective and
fervid appeal for men and money
support from North Carolina, now his
adopted home.
This address was ' followed by a
stirring speech by Lawyer Curtis, of
Asheville, Curtis has a fashion of
striking hard, stating bold facts in
plain words. He was particularly
straight forward about expressing his
opinion of the slacker and tight-wad.
If there were any present who had
not bought a bond when they could
or who yet intended going away with
out doing so, they must have had a
walrus hide conscience and a shriv
elled soul.
Subscriptions were then taken on
the same plan as the night before.
Four men, Dr. Long, Sftm Hender
son, Jerry Liner and a Mr. iteeves
each took $500. Mr. Stents himself
subscribed for $300, but the total was
little less than $3,000.
It was only on the last day, Sat
urday, that belated subscriptions
were received sufficient to put Hay
wood county over the top by an oyer
subscription of some $3,000. T. L.

Twenty-five additional men will
leave this county for Camp Jackson
between the 25th of this month and
the 1st of June.
The total number of registrants in
Class 1, examined and accepted and
not yet sent into service, is 229 white

colored men in this class have been
sent to camp, 22 going recently.
There are yet, however, 28 white de

Miller, that Haywood county now has
600 men in the army service. Thirty
six registrants are in the emergency
fleet service and so long as they are
so employed they will not be called

HAYWOOD'S QUOTA $4,700
In Second Red Cross Ward Fund Drive
Week of May 20-27, Waynesville
and Haywood County Is Assessed
$4,000 and Canton $700
To loan your money to the govern
ment at four and a quarter per cent
interest is no sacrifice though it be a
duty. But what you pay to the Red
Cross, you contribute. The loan asked
of you by the government is for en
abling our soldiers to fight effective
ly; the money you pay to the Red
Cross organization is for caring for
the wounded. Therefore to help the
Red Cross is nobler, than the making
of a mere loan to the government
You buy a bond from your sense of
patriotic duty as a citizen or as a
straight investment; you give to the
Red Cross because you have human
sympathy and a Christian conscience.
A year ago, America raised a hun
dred million dollars for Red Cross
work. This money will soon have been
expended in the noblest cause that
of alleviating suffering on or behind
the battle front. Now another hun
dred million is asked and Haywood's
quota is only $4,700. We should be
able to double that amount.
We are the stay-at-homes. Our
lives go on little disturbed by the ter
rific conflict across the water, except
insofar as there are heart aches for
dear ones now in camp or trenches.
And so it's not only our duty but our
pleasure to give of our cash totaid the
Red Cross in its mission of mercy.
Anyone who will not willingly and
gladly contribute to the cause sym
bolized by the Red Cross is either
prost-ly and inexcusably ignorant, or
he has such a weazoned soul that he
is an enemy to his country and should
be interned. Only colossal selfishness
can dissuade anyone from failure to
participate heart and soul in making
this second Red Cross drive a finan
cial succoss.
Last Saturday about 20 members
of the Waynesville chapter attended
a conference in Asheville presided
over by the State campaign director.
S. L. Postlethwait, of Raleigh. This
chairman is particularly anxious that
North Carolina shall not only meet
her quota of a little over $600,000 but
that every county and every town and
school district in each county shall all
have a share in the work. And so he
outlined the need of thorough organ
ization as well as impressed upon
those present the monumental import
ance of the Red Cross work. The
Waynesville delegates pledged the
quota assigned to us and the organi
zation here hopes to raise the amount
far above $5,000.
And so now is the time for leading
citizens in every school district, or
members of the school boards, to at
once call a meeting of their citizens,
elect a chairman and a secretary
treasurer and then appoint commit
tees to canvass every person in their
school district during the week of
May 20-27. Let it not be said that
there was a single community in
Haywood county which failed to con
tribute liberally to the second Red
Cross War Fund.
If you do not become a contributor
to this fund, then never prate again
of natriotisia. . The only ' kind of
patriotism that counts for us stay-at-
homes is the kind that jingles lustily
when the Red Cross hat is passed dur-
irg the week f May 20-27, .
All contributions from . Haywood
county except Canton will , pass
through the hands of the Waynesville
chapter of which County Treasurer
Atkinson is treasurer. Hence all or
ganizations throughout the'' county
should work In co-operation with this
central chapter. Persona throughout
the county interested in organizing for
soliciting hi their district and wishing
any information, may consult J.. E.
Carraway, Rev. A. V. Joyner, C. B.
Atkinson, Theodore McCracken, C E.
Quinlan, J. W. Reid or any of the Red
Cross women workers.
Of the money raised in this county,
or elsewhere, not a penny may be used
for canvassing expenses. But 25 per
cent of the total -raised may be re
tained by local chapters or Auxiliaries
for Red Cross use only which means
(or purchase of material for the mak
:r of hospital or other garments
for our soldiers.

Presumably the reason that Can-
assessed separately is because
Red Cross chapter or auxiliary
works under the Asheville
l the conference in Atherille there
t representatives' from many cran
ia this end of the Statu. Polk
unty reported, that the same eom-
tee, or organisation, which head
Liberty Bead eaaraaa, wffl have)
charge of the Red Cross drive. Yon
will remember that Tryon went over
the top in the first week of the cam
paign which means that unless we get
wide-awake hilly old Polk may beat
us again. Transylvania and 'Jackson
counties also reported they were al
ready organized for the drive. Ashe
ville is getting ready to double the
quota for Buncombe county.
Let's get in earnest and get busy,
we Haywoodites, and lead the pro
cession in the Red Cross drive. We
didn't go over the top until the' very
last day of the Liberty Loan month.
So let's organize the entire county
this week and complete our canvass
and double our Red Cross quota if
possible on the First Two Days of
Red Cross Week, May 20-27.
T.LARSON,
Member Publicity Committee.
N. B. Perhaps the following men
tion is pardonable: The writer was
chairman of the drive in the first
Red Cross campaign' for his town and
community. The town has a popula
tion of less than 1,000. It's quota
was $2,000. The canvass began Sun
day night in the college auditorium at
a union meeting of all churches, four
in number. It lasted only three days.
Canvassing committees solicited ev-'
eryone. The result was $3,850, all
cash. The county raised $25,000. It
is the smallest county in the State,
with only 16,000 population but one
of the most prosperous in the State of
Kansas. Only one who was amply
able refused to contribute. As soon
as this was reported some of his per
sonal friends waited oh him. What
he was told need not be reported here
but he came through with a hand
some contribution. The name of ev
eryone, donor and amount, was print
ed in the local newspaper.
We have just received last week's
issue of the paper from our former
home, Highland, Kansas. At a Red
Cross sale last week, the total cash
receipts were $1,662.80.- It was a sale
of donated articles such as chickens,
hogs, cakes, fancy work, lawn mow
ers, sheep, baled hay almost any
thing and everything. A turkey egg
brought $750. Tt was first sold for
.". .rhe purchasei returned it and
it was sold over and over again.
Whenever there was a lull in the
sale, tMe turkey egg would be put up
and it never sold for less than $5.
One merchant gave a check for $50
and a farmer $100 just plain dona
tions. In the second Liberty Loan that
town was assessed $33,000. The
amount was reached in a week and
total subscriptions were $68,000.

GOOD W. S. S. NEWS FROM
CLYDE AND FINES CREES
The Clyde War Savings Society re
ports sales of stamps np to April 30
of $9,465. This amount speaks well
for such a small town of only a few
hundred people.
This society was only organized
April 13 or but 17 days before re
ceiving the above report.
The chairman of this society is E.
A. Wood, president of the State Bank
of Clyde; vice chairman, Thomas
Rogers; secretary, Miss Ruth Sen''
telle. This society is deserving of
public recognition and the thanks of
every lover of liberty. ,
At Finea Creek
On the night of May 1 one of the
best and most interesting rallies was
held in that township when a War
Savings Society waa organized at the
Baptist church. This is 22 milea
north of Waynesville. The roads,
owing to Heavy rams, were bad in
many places, thus making travel in
some parts dangerous and aumcult.
The church was packed to the doors.
Over 200 people were there. W. J.
Hannah, of Waynesville, and A. M.
FryC, of Swain county, among others,
addressed the snooting. Captain Han
nah made a logical and telling speech.
Women sang patriotic hymns.
Everybody, except half .a dozen or
less, joined the W. S. S. Society,
thus making it one of the largest in
the county. Hon. M. M. Noland waa
elected president and Miss Pearl
Rogers secretary; Kiss Gertrvde No
land, Miss Nellie Graham and Misa
Marie Ferguson, assistant secretaries.
The- name selected was "The Kaiser '
Killer of Fiaea Creek." Good re
sults will be hoard from this society
later a the resolve among everyone
was "Democracy Shall Not Die."
We spent the night with our good
friend Billy Noland and such hospital
ity as we received waa a rare treat
