THE RED CROSS RALLY.
Hon. Royal Daniel Addresses
Pearson Red Cross.
Atkinson County Chapter A. R.
C. is a verity!
Pearson has won a most splendid
victory over herself. Stubborn in
difference gets no where, while
pluck, energy and intelligent per
severance takes the victory.
The coming of Hon. Royal Dan
iel, representative of the Southern
Division with headquarters at At
lanta, marks a new era in Pearson
Red Cross circles.
After preliminary exercises of
patriotic songs, prayer and a
thoughtful welcome address by
Elder G. Tom West, Mr. Daniel
was introduced by Editor B. T.
Allen, and he proceeded in his own
quiet, persuasive, way to tell the
people something of the horrors of
the war, illustrating by incidents
coming under his personal observa
tion, and impressing his hearers
with the solemn obligation they
are under to the soldier boys in
the trenches, who are making the
supreme sacrifice for liberty and
the rights of humanity. The
lessons were simple, well developed
and made so plain, they were easily
learned by those who heard the
pathetic message.
“This is a time,” said Air. Daniel,
“that calls upon all the people for
strenuous sacrifice, self-abnegation,
and the observance of the Golden
Rule.” From France, Belgium,
Italy —every where in Europe
—comes the appeals of wretched
and starving people for succor.
Thousands upon thousands are
homeless, poorly clad, with the
prospects of freezing this winter
unless Americans provide them
clothing as well as food.
What a wonderful opportunity
for a display of that Christian
charity of which the Master and
the sacred writers have told us a
bout in the Book. Oh, Americans,
who live in a land of plenty and
comfort, wake up to the magnitude
of your responsibilities to (lie sick
and wounded, falling thick and
fast, along the battle front in
France, in Italy, in Albania, in
Macedonia, and even in Russia.
Are you going to shut up the bow
els of your compassion against
those who are giving their all to
bring liberty and lasting peace to
the nations of the earth! When the
boys, who have gone out from a
mong* us, come marching home
with the songs of victory-of liberty
and the right of civilization to
survive—on their lips will you be
ready to meet them and feel that
you did your “bit” in helping to
bring them back?
These are some of the salient
points made in Air. Daniel’s ad
dress. He did not speak long, as
he was tired and hungry —having
traveled all day, speaking and in
structing the official members as
to the great needs of the hour, and
the necessity of a perfect organiza
tion.
He was entertained while here at
Hotel Malone by Dr. and Mrs.
Malone.
Tuesday morning, after breakfast,
the executive committee of the
temporary organization met him at
the hotel and, in view of the per
manent organization, he gave
minute instructions as to the work,
the necessity of thorough organiza
tion, and perfect harmony and
fidelity among the members.
He also spoke of some necessary
changes being made as to the or
ganization. It has been arranged
for the membership year to coin
cide with our calendar year; the
fiscal year to begin July Ist and
end June 30, the executive year to
begin with October Ist. These
changes were made to conserve
man-power and to simplify the
business of the organization.
It was probable that the organ
ization would be taken over by the
government to save it from the
greod of the profiteer, the great
enemy of the organization.
Mr. Daniels was pleased with the
enthusiasm of the people to do their
“bit” in this world crisis, their
unanimity and preparedness to
work when they find something
they can do.
His visit to Pearson was a bene
diction to her people.

Nearly every one of our boys
who could saw to a scribe and

last Monday morning to help build

Air. Dan Henderson is at home
from South Carolina for the pur
pose of gathering his crop. He
will be here a week or two and re
turn to South Carolina where he is
employed as book and time keeper
at a big saw mill.
Airs. Jeff Kirkland arrived at
home this morning from her west
era trip. She has two sisters liv
ing in California, whom she visited.
No doubt she had a most delight
ful trip, and saw many things that
were pleasing and instructive, as
well as exciting.
Air. Laurie l’rdrick returned to
Meridien College, Aleridien, Aliss.,
to resume his studies' at that in
stitution. He was accompanied by

Riclcetson, will go to Aleridien
next Tuesday to enter school.

The baby girl of Rev. and Mrs.
Geo. P. Padriek was severly burn
ed with some kind of acid a few
days ago. The two children were
playing together, the older one,
Francis, got hold of the bottle of
acid and poured some of its con
tents on her sister, with the result
mentioned.
It is possible the Methodist con
gregation will not have its regular
protracted meeting this year. The
membership of the church doesn’t
seem to be in the spirit for one.
The burdens of the war and the
struggle for a livelihood are too
depressing to awake spiritual en
thusiasm of the demonstrative
sort.
Officers of the law captured one
of the most consummate forgers

cashed one of his checks to which
he had forged the name of G. W.

ed to it. Both were bound over
to the superior court.
Elder O. O. Williams filled his
regular monthly appointment with
the Pearson Baptist church last
Sunday. He gave the church no
tice to look out for another pastor
as he would be unable to serve
them another year. He lives at
Vidalia ond says it is too far and
inconvenient for him to meet a
monthly appointment here.
