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.

400 CHAPTERS^
ARE READY FOR
4TH ROLL CALL
|
Rivalry Keen Among Southern Towns
To Get Quota Of Red Cross
Members First.
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

go; doing many other things that enter
into the peace-time program of the
Red Cross which, in the two years
since the signing of the armistice, has
been demonstrated to all as one ofthe
finest agencies for public welfare
in the life of the country.
"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.'
