ERNEST CAUSEY.
U. S. S. Vulcan,
CareP. M., New York,
New York,
He was a soldier at Camp Gor
don, near Atlan'a, a great big
strapping 260-ponnd Georgian, a
member of the National Army,
the selectmen, they are called in
the South. He was among the
first arrivals and when the young
men from the Southern States,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee
and the Carolir.s innocent youths
many of them, who had never
been away from home before,
begun to come into the camp by
the hundreds, he smiled inwardly
and laid his plans. When even
ing fell he inveigled these hoys
by groups into bis company and
keeping out of sight of his supe
rior officers he started a poker
game. It wasn’t long until the
youngsters began to lose their]
money and he was beginning to
look for new victims.
This went on for some time.
Finally one evening, while seek
ing other lads upon whose pocket
money he might prey, this big,
husky, specimen of military hu
manity strolled into a meet'ng
which was in progress at the
Army Y. M. C. A. building near
his quarters.
When he entered a man was
speaking to a crowd of soldiers.
He listened and heard an appeal
being made to the men to lead
clean decent lives amid the un
usual conditios which they faced.
The speaker urged them to re
member their homes and home
ideals, to play square with each
other and to be helpful to those
who were younger, weaker and
lass ex' ■ ienced.
The=e words got hold of some
thing inside of this 250-pound
bulk of flesh and bone and it
brougnt to him memories of his
own home and with it' a realiza
tion of the duty he owed to his
kin, his fellow fighting men, his
country and his Maker. He rose
to his feet and made public con
fession of the wrong he had been
doing. He told how he had taken
advantage of men whom he
should have helped. He announ
ced his repentance and stated his
determination to lead a Christian
life.
The next day was Sunday.
When'the hour came for the
morning Bible classes at the ‘"Y”
building, a procession was seen
marching toward the Associ
ation quarters. It was headed
by Mr. 250 pound Georgian. Be
hind him came the 177 men of
his company. He marched them
and when those now in camp go!
overseas in large numbers— to j
j say nothing of the great need
! which exists among our Allies in
France, Italy and Russia—will
require 4,000 more secretries end
and hundreds of buildings by
July 1, 1918. To expand and
maintain the work in these pro
portions $35,000,000 must be sub
scribed.
To raise this fund a nation
wide campaign is to be conduc
ted from November 11 to 19.
Where the Liberty Loan and the
Red Cross funds were required
to meet the physical necessities
of the Army and Navy, this
money is to go to supply the
mental, social and spiritual re-
quirernenls of millions of men
under arms. The heln of every
American is impertiive in this
cause.
An Artist Without Equal
A few years ago Prof. Thorn-
well Haynes, at that time super
intendent of the High Point, N.
C,, public scho Is, now n leave
of absence during the period of
the war in order that he might
serve the country diplomatically,
said of Mrs. William Calvin Chil
ton : “I would rather hear her
read ‘Polly of the Circus’ than to
sec it produced by the best theat
ric..! companies in New York
City. She is,an artist in her line
without an equal.” On Mr
Haynes’ recommendation Mrs.
Chilton was included in the High
Point Lyceum Course that year,
appearing again the next yeur,
giving entire satist'actio ■, and
she has appeared two to a half
dozen times in many, many
towns throughout the South. Our
people will welcome the visit of
such an artist when she appears
here as one of the regular Lyceum
numbers under date of Novem
her 14.
Expression Class to Give
Play
The members of the Expres
sion Class are preparing to give
a play, “The Farmerette,” at an
early date. This play will be
given for the benefit of the Red
Cross and promises to re one of
the best entertainwents of the
season. Interesting from start
to finish. Everybody invited to
come and help the Red Cross
fund. Watch this paper for date
and program.
