CARLOS RECTOR. Greenville Sheriff Said to Have Shot Apples Oft* Brother's He^^d. Fiery of face, lean of waist, and rawboned, Carlos A. Rector, reformed moonshiner, who has been elected sheriff of Greenville county, to take office in January, used to shoot apples off the top of his brother's head to entertain his barefoot friends when they would call upon him at his parents' home way back in the heart of the Blue Ridge mountains. Mountaineers for miles and miles around marveled at the expert manner in which Carlos and his brother Hendrix handled the rifle in making close shave shots, with each other as human targets, writes J. Carter Litimer, of Greenville, news writer, in the Atlanta Journal. Hendrix was elected sheriff in 1912 and was serving the third year of his second term when he was shot ana Krueu un j ui^ 4, 1919, by Jake Gosnell, deputy col' lector of internal revenue, as a result of old political strife. Carlos was then prevailed upon to make the race and he defeated six opponents, including Captain Sam D. Willis, who was wounded in France, and who was appointed by Governor Cooper to fill out the unexpired term of the late Hendrix Rector. Both Hendrix and Carlos Rector together with their brother Jeff, who followed General Pershing into Mexico and France and was decorated for bravery, were born and "raised" in a little log cabin in what is known as "Dark Corner," because for years and years it was a lair of moonshiners and still is. The Rector boys, like all others who first saw the light of day in this dismal section, did not think it any harm to make moonshine liquor. It was their belief?and this opinion still holds with most mountaineers today?that they had a God given right to do as they pleased with ? cr>ar?+i7 nrih pr?rr> whiph thpv TTIflTl M UVMU VJ VA Xk/ \S A. VVA M TT ... aged to raise on the hill sides. So they distilled "white lightning" to sell and drink. About .twelve years ago Carlos Rector became intensely interested in a religious revival and was converted into the belief that making liquor was all wrong?it was not the strong arm of the law that changed him, but the words of a mountain "sky pilot." He even went out himself and beseeched his fellow moonshiners to abandon the still and make an honest living. Among those who heeded the apepal and reformed was his brother Hendrix, and from then on they gave their hearts to law enforcement. Hendrix Rector was elected magistrate and Carlos served as constable. Then Hendrix moved tn rj-rppnvillp and within a short time this "lion of the mountains" became a lion of politics and was elected sheriff, but not without stirring up political feuds because he defeated the scion of one of the aldest and most aggressive political families in the state. His spectacular career ended when three shots caused his heart to cense beating July 4, 1919, at a local garage. Carlos Rector was then nominated to the highest office in the gift of the people of the county. Carlos A. Rector, 36 years of age, said that it was his earnest ambition some day to be elected to a seat in congress. Women Smoke Pipes. London, Nov. 6.?Pipe smoking seems to be on the increase among London women, and fashionable cigar stores display dainty small briars, some set with precious stones. It is said there is a growing demand for u.ese. At one West London theatre, where smoking xS permitted, two smartly dressed women were seen the other evening in a box puffing at their jeweled pipes, and soon an old Irish woman in the gallery fallowed. sua. her's was a clay "scutty." ~ In a first-class railroad car between Horsham and London a quarrel arose the other day between a number of non?smoking women and another because she would not put out her cigarette at her sister traveler's behest. It ended in one of the apti-smokers seizing the offending cigarette, gold mounted tortoise-shell holder and all, and throwing it out of ! the window. "Two guineas costs will meet the case!" said the magistrate. mi ^ Q. T. Stuff. He had just returned from France.

Atlanta, Ga. Nov.?More than four hundred chapters of the American Red Cross and about three hundred chapter branches are organized in the southern division for the Fourth Red Cross Roll Call, November 11-25. "By organization is meant that these chapters and branches have chairmen, committees and the enthusiasm to make the Fourth Roll Call a sure success in their communities," said J. L. McMillin, southern division manawr of thp Red Cross, todav. "We have reports from every ont of them that they are only awaiting the date to begin the campaign. First the workers themselves will renew their memberships in the Red Cross. Then every old member will be called upon to re-enlist under the Red Cross banner. After that, every effort will be made to get in the territory of each chapter as nearly a.one hundred per cent membership in the Red Cross as it is possible to get." The southern division includes the five states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Florida. Last year the division, for its population, made as fine a record as any part of the country in enrollling Red Cross members. This year it is the eager purpose of every chapter to put the southern division on top again. A friendly but keen rivalry exists among the various chapters to be the first to report that their quotas are secured. A different system has been used this year in assigning quotas to the various chapters. Instead of determining the quota for the division first and then dividing this out among the various chapters, ,each chapter carefully estimated the amount oi money needed to finance its needs and its plans during the coming year. The chapter's quota was then based on this amount, and the quota for the entire division made up from the various chapter quotas. Thus, the Roll Call this year is more than ever a local proposition in each community. When local people subscribe to the Red Cross, they are subscribing to meet local needs, and for every dollar paid for membership in the Red Cross, fifty cents will be kept by the local chapter to finance its plans for next year. The other fifty cents goes to national headquarters, to maintain the national work of the Red Cress. "We challenge every other chapter in the southern division to beat our Roll Call record," wrote one Roll Call chairman in North Carolina. "We intend to be the first 'over the top', for we are laying our plans to get our full quota of members early in the morning of November 11." This spirit is typical of the way the vast majority of chapters are awaiting the Fourth Roll Call. It is a rare exception where chapters are not thoroughly organized and plans worked out to secure the quota of members easily and quickly. Hundreds of newspapers throughout the southern division will co-operate with the local Red Cross chapters to make the Roll Call a success. Speaking of the view with which most Americans regard the Fourth Roll Call, one Atlanta paper already has called upon Atlantans to join the Red Cross in the following editorial. language: "The Red Cross Roll Calls are not 'drives', not attempts to raise large sums of money for untried causes, but they are institutions in the nation's life, the one lime of the year when the American people, old and young, are asked to renew their memberships in the organization that is so expressive of the national spirit and so great a benefit to the nation as a whole. "The American Red Cross is different in this respect from the Red Cross of other nations, in most of which it is maintained by large contributions from the wealthy. The American Red Cross is essentially democratic. It was founded by the American people, ""hey maintained it for nearly forty . In the war, thousands of them fo?. it the opportunity #to serve the> rdently sought. "So :ty, the Red Cross belongs to the .1 ican people. It gives them the uace they all want in their her 10 do some good in the world. Si' , their dollars for memberships .a amount to little; but matched . millions of other dollars from ev ry part of the country, they become a mighty factor in caring for our soldiers and sailors; looking after the interests of the wounded and maimed of the war; safeguarding the discharged service man and his family; doing the same thing for thousands of unfortunate civilians; bringing public health nursing and good health to hundreds of communities; training our ' ' 1 ~ -? -~ ?

"That is what Red Cross membership dollars can do. It would seem that nc American citizen, with the good of ills country and his own com munity at heart, would refuse to join.' DR.
