- \Ve trust Importance ol
the American Red Cross parrying on a
peace time organization. ^To scrap it
now that the War is ovpr woiild be
similar to snapping the steamship
Mauretanla after a record run across
the Atlantic.
Red Cross still goe.s forward for the
man in uniform in all camps . at the
request of the Government. Hospitals
contain nearly one hundred thousand
sick and wounded soldiers. Home ser
vice will, long be In demand by thou*
ands who wore the Khaki. Medical
care and relief work in- Europe can
not be abandoned without violation of
humanitarian instincts.
Public Health is of paramount im
portance when 120 per cent of our popu
lation are physically defective. Homo
Hygiene and Care. of the Sick must
be imparted or health in the home im
paired. Iustrnction in Nutrition aud
Child Welfare must be maintained as
a matter of self interest. First Aid in
struction to many million has not yet
covered the need. Disaster Relief must
not be neglected : we are pledged to
meet emergencies.
Of two hundred fifty members of
the Red Cross Chapter last year about
thirty-five were from the County pro
per, the rest were from, Camden. We
had hoped . to get at least one thous
and members so as to put in two nuses,
one for town and one for county.
Mrs. Worst! am psiil several visits In
County. Went to Antioch twice, T,ugoff
three times, five miles above Camden
for patient for hospital and helped Mr.
Evans Vith several others. She also
helped carry a tubercular patient to
camp. These cases were emergency,
with flu, pneumonia, etc. She made
frequent visits to Hermitage Mill and
did not restrict herself to the town.

Washington. Nov. u.*- Denouncing
u? "slackers" till those Democrats who
.refused lo take part in the campaign
to elect Governor Oojt, officers <>f tJClQ
Democratic National Committee made
public here today an official "black
list" of distinguished IVmocrats lu?
eluding many intimate advisors of the
administration. who it Ntfttcd, Ctiji
expect neither support nor favor from
the present organisation.
The list contains names of Democrats
who had no campaign to make on their
bohhlf and who re foxed to help when
apjs'iil was made to them on behalf of
the national ticket. It does not In*
elude Democdatle candidates who had
cnmpalgnk In their own states.
The committee h'as also prepared a
"white l!st," which contains the names
of those who did all in their power to
aid the Democratic candidates in their
nwu states or elsewhere.
Pojstmajitor General Albert Svilne.v
Burleson. one Of the prlneipal ad (
?VtaiiijH in Provident Wilson. heads thej
"Mack list.*' He Is said to have taken
no part In the campaign after Cox de
feated William Gibbs MeAdoo in the
invention. Burleson was one of Me
nu
Adoos strongest supporters
William Jennings Bryan comes next
on the list. The committee failed to
obtain a single speech from ldm dur
ing tin- campaign.
? Others listed by the committee are
Senators Gore, of Oklahoma : Reed,
of Missouri: Walsh, of Massachusetts;
Swansbn, of Virginia : Carter Class,
of Virginia: Smith and Harris of
Georgia: Dial, of South Carolina;
Slnimoiis and Overman, of North
Carolina: Smith, of South Carolina
and Secretary of the Treasury Hous
ton. All the members of the feder
al trade commission and the federal,
reserve board are Included.
The "white list" includes the names
of practically all the members of the
ea bluet, except Burleson, Senators
Hitchcock, of Nebraska ; Pitt man, of
Nevada ; Walsh, of Montana ; Under
wood, of Alabama ; Uohlnsour ,ot Arkan
shs; Nheppard, of Texas; Stanley, of
Kentucky; Harrison of Mississippi;
Klrby of Arkansas-? Pomereuo.of Ghlo ;
Homer Cumrolngs, William G, MeAdoo,
B^urke, Cochran, and the following
members, of, the house: I trough, of
Arkansas; Garrett, of Tennessee;
Byrnes, of South Carolina; Connely
and Bee, of Texas ; Shell, of South
Carolina; Goodwin, of Arkansas;
McClin'tOck, of Oklahoma : Aswell, of
Louisiana and Stevenson of South
Carolina. ,
The publication of this so- called
"black list" Is -especially significant
at this time in view at it precedes a
meeting called by the insurgent Demo
crats to discus# plans for the re-organ
ization oL (ho Democratic party. Some
of those whose names appear on the
"black list" have been mentioned as
? v
'tmong those who will attend the con
ference.
When Mr. Bryan was asl**d to en
ter the campaign 011 behalf of Gov.
ernor Cox he flatly refused to do so
except on condition that the presi
dential candidate pledge himself to
appoint only such men to office as
would faithfully carry out the Vol
stead act. Governpr Cox did not ac
cept this condition.
The announcement of the reor
ganization plans has aroused bitter
antagonism among officials of the
national committee, who declared to
day they will fight to the utmost to
prevent any disarrangement of the
present organization.

Month to Prune Scuppernoags.
Those. who have scuppernongs which
they contemplate pruning this season
should hoar in mind the fact thot this
variety of grape must be pruned this
month or by the middle of Deocmbcr.
If being train od to a trellis the vine
will need special attention in pruning.
If being trained to a trellis the vine
ing will be necessary, but the impor
tant fea-ture is to provide space for the
vinos on the arbor without crowding
and falling off. ,
All fruit trees should be pruned now
and those which have scale should have
an nppllcation of strong lime sulphur
this fall well as early next spring
before the buds begin to swcQi.
The mound* whieh were built around
the peach throes last July should be
torn away now and the borers should
be taken out.
Every farmstead should have n well
cared for home orchard. The Ooumty
Agent will bo glad to assist anyone in
making orders for the best varieties
of fruit for this section as well as
M give advice in care of same. Those
contemplating putting out fruit trees
should order their atock immediately
in order to get the best which nurse

While there has been no material
relief from any of the conditions which
brought about the rise In the price of
petroleum products, the Standard Oil
Company (N. J.) believes ? that the
process of rc-ndjuRtmonf now under
way in tin- business world most even
tually contribute to lower costs of pro
ducing and refining oil. To da to there
has been no lowering of labor costs
nor crude oil prices, nor recession. In
the demand for gasoline. Iteductroi|^
which have already taken place in
many of the principal- iteniH entering
:nto the. co?rt of living have for the
most, part n'ot reached the ultimate
consumer, hut it is inevtitablc that
before long lower prices will , bo
brought about by now quotations now
prevailing in primary markets. The
Standard Oil Company (N. J.) be
lieves that this movement towards a
restoration of what are popularly con
sidered normal prices should bo ahle<l
by the oil industry.
