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. James Horton, C- Mur

Attorney, and many others.

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. A motion was made that
ina.mnuch as the citizens of the town were
