' ^ 7 Facts About The Salvation Army .... . , . . ' ' ? # Uy Kli**b<^ih Tyler The people of the South are once more called upon to give. This time It la for one of the most worthy of all caueea.-r-the Salvation Army Home Service Fund. When war waa declared the Salva tion Army workers went over seas with oar boys and down Into the trenches Into the very jaws of death. They crossed the sea with our boys with: never a thought of personal in JurT ? never dreaming .of tho wave of popularity or publicity they would get for thla humble Christian service; they had only one desire and that Waa to aerve our boya when they most needed friends. They spent much of the money that It nad taken them many years to collect In small change ?spent It ungrudgingly ? because they saw that our boys neoded it. AH they asked in return was that they be allowed by their every duy examples to teach the Christianity our Savior taught while on earth. Many Hold lens tell of the wonder ful work the Salvation Army ha^ done overseas. To me there la nothing unusual about that work, but it 1b the same kind of work and service the Salvation Army has always- given here at home-^-at our very own doors. It hag taken the stories told by the returning soldiers who have come to know tho Salvation Army to bring about this wave of popularity for the Salvation Army, but the Army has al ways worked and served as they aro now serving. It reaches a class of people that no other religious organization can or attempts to reach. Tho mon and* women that are too ragged and mis erable to attend tho services at our churches ? they reach the poverty that hides and shrinks in the by-ways of life. A man or woman can never fall so low, but that this army of aarnest workers stretch out a helping aand to* them. Every man, woman and child in America should contribute to this Home Service fund because there Is not a corner in our beloved land, howevor remote, that does not receive direct benefit from the Salvation Army, for fifty per cent of the popu lation of the cities is made up of people that come from small towns and from those remote sections and ninety per cent of the boys and girls that appeal to the Salvation Army for assistance 'are those who have come to the large cities and find them selves unequal to the struggle for ex istence. The Salvation Army conducts Res cue Homes, Day Nurseries, Homes for the Helpless and Aged and Blind,' Lodging Houses for the men and worn- 1 en that are unable to pay and free clinics ? it extends its services every where that misery and poverty exists. Soldiers Tell Of Overseas Work. The soldiers that aro returning from France after their hafd strug gle have nothing but words of praise , for the Salvation Army, and from the lips of a soldier now at Camp Gordon comes a story of a frail Salvation Army lassie that defied the shot and shell of the Hun an,d carried him three miles to a first aid station and saved his life? that man is Sergeant James McCoy of Co. E 17th Infan try. Sergeant McCoy is the proud possossor of tho Croix de Guerre, and tho famous Belgium medal for brav ery iwas among tho first Americans to Join the Allies in the great world war. "It was on my twentieth birthday, August 5. 1918, in tho famous Argonne Forest that I received five machine Kua bullets in my logs as a sort of a birthday present from the Tlun," ' says Sergeant Mi Coy. of Camp Gor don, Atlanta, (la., as he extolled the work of the Salvatinn Army abroad, j "The rain of bullets from the ma- j chine guns brought me to the ground with hundreds of my comrades. In spite of the pain. I crawled along, and after making two miles towards a first aid station I foil in a faint and lay there with shot and shell burst i lng around mo. 1 will never know who found mo. but when I awakened 1 was looking into tho eyes of a frail ! Salvation Army lassio, who had j bound my wounds to check the flow of blood and who was bathing my face bringing me back to consciousness. "It was after midniRht. and tho only iifiht around us came from the bursting bombs and the hand gre nades which were being hurled by one of tho strongest battalions of the Gor man Crown Prince. She bade me have courage and said that she would carry ni*> to the nearest firet aid sta tion. which was three miles away. She unloosened my equipment and carried me in a military fashion straight out over that perilous jour ney three miles away. Tijne and af?ain she stopped to regain her ?trength and each time after she was ready to go on she would batho my face and make me as comfortable as possible. How long it took her to bring me through that shot ridden land I will never know, for I after wards learned that I fainted several tlmea during the Journey. It' was daylight when the laasle carried me to t fet first aid station and after she hud placed mo in the hands of my sturdy comrades she sunk to the ground unconscious." This is only one of the many things that ! know of concerning the Sal vation Army and their work with the American troops abroad. They are the greatest friends we have. and. if the American public can only be told of ten per ctnt of their heroic deeds in No Man's Land the appropriation of $13,000,000, asked for by the Sal | vation Army, will be but a drop in the bucket of the funds actually, received. Brothers, sisters, wives or sweet* hearts of the American soldiers Should always love and support the Salvation Army, for they owe that wonderful or ganization a debt of gratitude, for by its example Of humble Christian ser vice it hail tfnplant^d in the hearts of the world through her fighting men, a renewed faith in Christ and the seeds it has sown in No Han's Land and "at the training camps, which ^ritl spring up ahd bear fruit that will give the world the first real tuete of de mocracy. Heroes Explain Why In the following wordfl Private Frank Ivy, of Goldsboro, N. C., Bums up what ho has Seen of Uie Work of the Salvation Army abroad. Private Ivy, who was a member of Company K, 167th Infantry, was severely wound ed in the early battles of SoIbsoos. While he lay on his cot at Fort Mc Pherson Hospital, vfaiting time to heal the wounds inflicted by the Uuns. he was at his happiest period, as he discussed the work of the Sal vation Army, both here and abroad. When he ' learned of the coming drive in May for additional funds for this great cause, the wounded hero said: "1 hope I am out by that time, and, if I am not, there are thousand:; who would go far and wide to tell the people of this country jUst what the Salvation Army stands for, what it did for its boye under shell fire, in the hospitals, and, in fact, everywhere >ve went,' the Salvation Army worker was bound to be there. This is no adver tising campaign, for all the boys will have to do is to tell the truth of this great work and the great American public will do the rest." Sergeant George Henderson, of Jacksonville, Fla., who was wounded at Chateau Thierry, is following the example of Private Cook and organ izing the discharged soldiers of Flor ida to put over the Salvation Army Drive in his home State, as the Sal vation Army so ably assisted to put over drive after drive in the cruelest days of the great world war. "We doughboys know how to help, and we are going to do it," says Ser geant Henderson. '"The Salvation Army cared not for ehot or shell, for their only thought was to aid others in spite of the personal risk to them selves. They started in the war with us at our training camps in America and remained with us until we put the Hun back on his own ground and started him on the greatest retreat that a losing army was ever forced to make. A Debt of Gratitude America will never know the grati tude she owee to the Salvation Army and the number of lives that thfei little sturdy hand of workers saved by their fearless actions in the greatest of all fights." Hundreds of statements have come to our office from those who know of the Salvation Army's work in the trenches. There will be no vital change in the ndmmiHlr&tion uf the work. The Tam bourine Girl will no longer circulate among us, however, except at devo tional services. The big drive is for funds to replace this smiling lassie and release her from^collecting small change to devote her entire time to a work of mercy. The people oC America will be asked to contribute once each year instead of all the year round to the Salvation Army and per petuate its work. Some of the most prominent men in the South will tOur this section o; the country in the interest of th? drive. Judge J. S'. Reynolds. fonHfrrl Solicitor General of the Augtwt* CMi cult and one of the best know& fcw yers In the South, is chairman qff the speaker committee. He has gathered about him men who have made good in their respective lines and who will speak in the behalf of the Salvation Army Drive. Among the prominent speakers who will tour the South are: Judge Mar cus Beck, of Georgia; Dr. S. R. Belk. Walter P. Andrews of Atlanta., Clif ford Walker, Attorney General for O^vi'fc'.a. iter.

A cadi from Mayor Parrott aud the town council for a mass meeting to "be held in the court house last Monday night resulted in a gathering of 50 or more of the property holders of the town to get the eentiment of the people in regard to granting a limited franchise to the Carolina Power Co., and the ad visability of disposing of the present JM?wer_jilant. The meeting was called to order by Ma 3- or W L. Parrott. Mr. K. W. Itustin was elected chairman and Mr. L. W. Moore, secretary. Mayor Parrott explained fully the object of the meeting, stating that some steps had to be taken at once if we wish- to have out water and electric plant kept going. That the plant was in a *run down con dition and would not last at best m6re than one year longer unless thoroughly overhauled and new parts put in at heavy cost. After the matter waft dis cussed by several citizens, a vote was taken to get the sentiment of those pres ent. Not a dissenting Vbte was cast against the proposition made by the Carolina Power Co.? to take the town plant at a stipulated price and give a satisfactory service at a cost not to ex reed the present cost aud perhaps at n i oowt.
