$1,000,000 Needed in 3o Days To Care for Sick and Wounded We with other business houses throughout the country are volunteering to take subscriptions for this National Relief Fund, to be expended by Capt. Jones Again Endeavoring to Secure the Requisite Number of Men to Enlist His Company la the United States Army. Under the second call for volunteers made by President McKinley North Carolina's quota of the 75,000 troops wanted is 1,561. These will be organized into two more regiments perhaps, and in order to get into one of them Capt. Jones, of the Vance Guards, is now endeavoring to recruit his company up to the required number.

Able bodied men between the ages of 18 and 45 years who desire to enlist in the volunteer service of the United States Army are requested to call on or communicate with him at once. Capt. Jones and many of his officers and men have felt a little sore at not being able to get into the Second Regiment. But the fault was not theirs. They did all they could to recruit the company to the full number called for but Jailed to do so.

Was it for want of patriotism or a lack of courage? We do not say it was due to either of these causes but the fact remains that in the entire community enough men could not be secured to entitle the company to enter the regiment. And the call was not to the State Guard alone. It was as much the duty of every other man who. comes within the prescribed limits as to age and physical ability to volunteer as It was the organized militia; and until the rest of us step forward and sign the roll we have no right to say what anybody else should do whether he be a member of the military company or not. But Capt.

Jones -does not rrant Henderson to be less patriotic (apparently) than other towns of. the State. And while he knows it is no more the duty of the Vance Guards to volunteer than it is for any individual member of the community to do so, he at the same time feels that it is expected (and not unnaturally so) that they should be among the first to respond to their country's call. And this view is held by most of his officers and men as their action has shown. That they have not done more lies in the fact that, they can.

neither create men nor compel them, to enlist. Nor would they resort to this latter expediency were it in their power to do so. This is the status of the case and! those of us who refuse to help them, out bv volunteering: ourselves have no right to say anything about others not going; to the front nor have we heard any such talk indulged n. While on this subject it would not be out of place to subjoin the following extract from an exchange as to the pay of soldiers under the law as recently made by Congress: Thirty-seven dollars ptr month the estimated amount of money which tbe Government will pay out for each private. This includes the cost of food, lodging-, clothing, medical attention and pay.

The monthly pay for different grades on present war footing is as follows: int Sergeant 130, Quartermaster-Sergeant 21.0 Sergeants 21. CO Corporals 18.00 Musicians lo.GO Artificers 18.00 Wagoners 16.80 Privates 15.60 These men are supplied with uniforms and all other necessary clothing, including shirts, drawers, undershirts, stockings, shoes, hats, caps, blanket, and are well fed. When all this is considered the scale of pay amounts to much more than it first seems. At a reasonable estimate of the cost of the articles furnished, together with the pay, it will be found that in the lowest grade. that of a private, the money value of what the volunteer receives is about $37 per month, ranging upward to that of first sergeant, which is more than 50.

In addition to the above, the soldier receives medical 'attention free of charge, and when sick there is no loss of pay. In case he is disabled physically while ia the service he is entitled to be pensioned. The term of service is for two years, unless sooner discharged. The Country Editor of To-Day. As the Springfield Republican says: The country editor is not a handy Andy in a community, to be rewarded with a free lunch, a complimentary or the mere thank you of an unap- preciative constituency.

His news paper is not a mendicant thriving by the good graces of the community. It does not survive on the crumbs of support thrust to it from the tables of the political and business dives of its locality. But some people appear to think so and treat it accordingly. The occupation of editing and pub lishing a country newspaper has ceased to be a despised one, the butt of unfeeling jokes, and the victim or. unthoughtful ridicule.

The country newspaper and its editor have come to be an institution of power and influence in every community. They have come to stand as any other great enterprise requiring capital and brains for its conduct stands. The business of conducting the coun try newspaper in the present has come to require the highest kind of business ability, and the editorial' and news departments hare come to be entrusted to steady nerves, trained minds and hands. Your local paper may not be what it ought to be all you would like to have it but perhaps it is as good as you help to make it. Science With Grit.

Many scientific remedies for consumption are announced from time to time which sound well, with great unpronoune-able names back ot them. Every one of them is an experiment at tbe expense of suffers willing to pay anything for relief from tbe certain doom of the disease. Here now comes a new discovery with something more than high sounding names and learnings to back it. It la ik UaauraMtee Caawaw pilaw Care. It says The PMiaait Dcssrva Kisw xhavt II Cm CairesU It has the fir It to back its scientific claims with this: "The patient follows In bis own home our very simple directions.

When he is cured he says so, and thesi receive ear pay. If not cured, be has bad a long course of treatment at our expense, with a remedy which has eared 75 per eent. of a total of over 400 eases treated." This company Is composed of New York and Western people who have, after years of experiment, selected San Antonio, Texas, as tbe most favorable elimatia point for tbe treatment of consumption and will maintain its laboratory and general offices there sod erect a magnificent Sanitarium for patients who prefer and ean afford a change of climate.

Yea Han Ahrijs ErrjM Bears the Signature of The Severest and float Destructive Known In Years. The most destructive 'hail storm known for years visited this section Monday afternoon, doing great dam age to field crops, fruit, vegetable gardens, etc.

It appears to have made a track about three miles wide. In town the fall of hail was light and no damage done, but a few miles out it waa very severe and destructive. Wheat was ruined, tobacco, cotton and corn badly torn to pieces and fruit utterly destroyed. In some laces the corn will come out again ut tobacco and cotton are very badly injured. The storm out In the Williamsboro section was very severe and great damage is reported.

Mr. J. G. Wil son tells us the hail stones beat holes in tin roofs in some instances, and the effect upon growing crops can be imagined. An old turkey gobbler was killed by the hail before he could get to shelter as were several chickens.

In the Satterwhite neighborhood ano at i rank ortbam s. i nearer town, the damage wrought was great-Window blinds were torn to pieces. glasses broken out and shingles knocked from the roofs of houses in many instances. The wheat crop was the most promising many farm ers uau anu it is ruinea. i 'Down about Grey stone Mr.

John J. Pegram tells us the storm was equally as severe and great damage was done. On out at Mr. Ben Wortham's and still further down -through Vance and Warren counties and into Halifax it extended, and wherever heard from the same havoc has been done to growing crops, fruit, window glasses and tbe like. Nothing equal to it is recalled by the oldest inhabitant.

The hail stones were in size from a buckshot to a man's hand, round, biscuit shaped, smooth, jagged edged. The storm was very heavy at Kit trell where considerable damag-e was done to growing crops and the straw. oerrv fields of Mr. O. W.

Blacknall. A correspondent writing to the Keics and Observer from that place says: The storm covered a wide area. It was fully six miles wide at this place and extended as far east and west as has yet been heard from. It either took a widening course or there were several storms, for reports oi heavy damage come from Littleton and places far to the north of the appar ent track of this storm. lhe cloud gathered quickly in a clear sky, after a day of extreme heat.

Its strange whiteness became suffused with pink, and it was ushered in by thunder and lightning and in deep twilight. No one here ever before witnessed such weird phenomena. 1 The hail was not at all the color of ice, but of gleaming white like Parian marble. lhe stones were the size of grape shot, many much larger, and came down thick as rain drops and with a force that shattered everything in their way crops, tree boughs, grow ing fruit, window and shingle roofs, if at all weak. It began at 4 p.

and though it lasted only fifteen minutes the quan tity of ice that fell was prodigious. Rain melted it fast, but at the close it lay drifted in places two feet deep. like vast rows of grape shot. It is to be doubted ii its like was ever before seen in the State. The pecuniary loss must amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, as the above named crops are so near completely destroyed as hardly to pay for cultivation or as in the case of Wheat and oats.

In these days of electricity, adulterated food, tuberculosis, appendicitis, sub- marine mines, uynamue ooiuos, trol ley cars, telephones, phonographs. bicycles, populists and pie hunters it seems as though a voice that calls for a town pump came from another time and clime for the good, old fashion ways the honest ways, have about all been devoured by greedy old Time but say whatever you want to say about it or against it, there is a bit of sentiment in the Towm Pump pro- i ject that all the science and all tbe progression of the busy, bustling world cannot knock out.

Perhaps not many of our readers. especially among the young folks, know that the peach was originally a poison-almond. Its fruity parts were used to poison arrows, and lor that purpose were introduced into Persia. Transplantation and cultivation have not only removed its poisonous qualities, but 'turned it into the delicious fruit we now enjoy. And we are told that the tomato was also rank poison in its original state when first discovered.

It was called the "love apple" and was only valued for its beauty as a curiosity or ornament for the table or mantel where there was no danger of its be ing; eaten by children and cithers But by cultivation and improvement it has attained its present state of perfection and harmlessness as one of the choicest vegetables we have.
