R. L. Davis, was adopted by the trustees with a vote of thanks for "his untiring, efficient, and successful work as superintendent of the organization." The report of the suporintendent calls attention to the fact that most of the work of the league during the past year has been devoted toward promoting the cause of National Prohibition, and then appealed for more rigid law enforcement. "The prediction of the Headquarters committee made twelve months ago that the Bone Dry law would likely increase illicit liquor making in the State, has true," said Mr. Davis.

"The searcity of liquor and the extraordinary high price has influenced some people to blockade, who had not heretofore been doing so, and the distillers have been more numerous and active in the State this year than any time in past ten.

ZIONISM RECEIVES START IN RALEIGH Local Board Appointed To Promote Movement Here MASS MEETINGS ARE CALLED FOR TUESDAY Miss Ethel Greenburg, State Advisor, Here Conferring With Board The Zionist movement in North Carolina, aiming at the enrollment of the Jews of the State for the development of Palestine 18 National Jewish Homeland is growing rapidly and last night a local board of Jews to promote campaign was formed in Raleigh with D. Kaplan, chairman; M. Kaplan, recording secretary; 8. H. Dworsky, financial secretary; and G.

Lazarus, treasurer. This board was in conference with Miss Ethel Greenburg, State of the campaign and it was determined to call a meeting Tuesday afternoon of the women and Tuesday night of the men when both men and women over eighteen years of age will be enrolled AS members of the American Zionist novementmpaign started here is part of a nation-wide movement being waged simultaneously in 150 cities and towns and to result in the enrollment of not less than 25,000 Jews. Hon. Julian W. Mack, of the United States Distriet Court of Appeals, who is president of the Zionist organization of America, has issued a stirring call in which he points to the declaration in favor of the restoration of Palestine to the Jews by Great Britain, France and Italy and the sympathy which has been extended in high official circles in the United States.

The statement follows: Program of Action. "By the promulgation of the British declaration and the taking of a large part of Palestine by the British military forces, Zionism has become a program of action. In order to take advantage of the opportunities offered by the British and allied governments for the restoration of Palestine and settlement of the land by the Jews parathe mount duty of is to organize its forces. Every interested in the Jewry, future of his own people must be made to realize that it is his obligation and responsibility to share the burden of the whole people according to his ability. And the first obligation is to become a member of the organization which has made itself responsible for the realization of the Zionist ideal.

Stupendous Work. "The work WO have undertaken is stupedous in its applications and in its responsibilities. We have set out to restore a scattered people with little collective experience to a land long neglected where we must create the free conditions of a highly civilized life. In that life we shall have no room for internal dissension, we shall have no room for re-actionary ideas, we shall have room only for the best there is in the in the light of the progressive peoples of the world. And we shall draw for our idealism both upon the treasure house of the Jewish people, from their prophets and law givers and upon the experiences of the free and liberty loving peoples in order that the new centre to be created shall be worthy of our glorious past.

"To accomplish our objects we must organize every element of Jewry provides the basis of strength for the Jewish land. The nature of our task, its broad statesman like qualities, its imposing dignity cannot be satisfied with mediocre performance! it must be well and thoroughly done. A people engaged in building a homeland must be strongly knit together; the relation of each individual Zionist to the whole body must be direct and personal not through the intermediary socie- ty. Sound "Every Jew should know that the form of organization which the last Zionist convention adopted was an act of sound generalship lifting the Zionist organization and its activities to new heights. It brings home to each man that the success or failure of Zionism depends wholly upon the success or failure of the activity of the individual Zionists.

It makes the getting of new members a work, for every new member means one added to the number of persons engaged in furthering the suecess of the cause. It pleases the task of restoring the Jewish people to Palestine in the safe-keeping of the Jewish people themselves; each is individually responsible, and all together are collectively responsible. It mobilizes for this task the moral and material resources of the whole Jewish people, and insures its achievement on a large scale and in the ideal manner which the world expects from we should expect from ourselves. "Let us all proceed, therefore, with the work of registering as members all Jews who desire to participate in the great historic task of rehabilitating the Jewish people in their own eyes, and in the eyes of the world." RALEIGH MAN KILLED IN FALL NEAR WILSON The body of James M. Parrish, A Raleigh man who was killed by a fall from a building Wednesday at Neverson, on, near Wilson, was brought to Raleigh early yesterday morning.

INFLUENZA GETS START IN RALEIGH Appears in Positive Form at State College While La Grippe Is Prevalent at St. Mary's 500 CASES LA GRIPPE ESTIMATED IN CITY Physicians Do Not Agree That These Cases Can Be Termed Influenza With approximately 500 cases of la grippe in Raleigh, with St.

Mary's School closing its doors today pupils because of the outbreak in the institution, and with A positive appearance of Spanish influenza at the State College, Raleigh began to experience yesterday what may develop into an epidemic of Spanish influenza. According to North Carolina health rules, influenza is not a malady subject to quarantine nor is it reportable under regulations prescribed by the State Board of Health. The precautions taken by the State College, which has been under formal quarantine since opening, and St. Mary's were of a voluntary nature. At the State College, the infrmary is crowded to eapacity and several CAReS have been sent to the College Y.

M. C. A. building. Dr.

W. C. Riddick, president of the college, said last night that the total number of cases is approximately 85. Dr. Hubert Haywood, physicinn at the college, stated that influenza is prevalent at the college but did not denominate all cases of la grippe there as influenza.

At St. Mary's School there are above sixty cases of la grippe, Dr. Way, rector of the school, said last night. He would not say that it -was influenza but chose rather to call it old fashioned la grippe, which, says the State Board of Health, synonymous with influenza. Dr.

W. Knox, physician at St. Mary's School, has all the cases of la grippe there under careful watch. Thus far, he states, he has not found a ease which could be characterized as Spanish influenza. Cases of influenza, presumably the Spanish kind, which is raging over the country have been reported unoficially to the State Board of Health from several cities in the State within the past fe wdays, notably from Wilmington and Greensboro.

In Wilmington it was learned that over one hundred cases had been discovered and that two deaths had resulted from the malady. Dr. Knox's statement in regard to the St. Mary's situation is practically that of a number of Raleigh physicians who report an unusually large number of cases of the common, ailment of la grippe. This, them state, is probably due to the recent sudden drop of temperature when, for a few days, fires and clothing warmer than the normal season dictated were really needed.

Much attention has recently been given to the epidemic influenza by the United Public Health Service and reports the la grippe situations 1 at the Raleigh colleges have been furnished to representatives of the Public Health Service. According to a late issue of Public Health reports, a a a a steamship recently arrived at one of the Southern ports from a port of Great Britain with history of an outbreak of epidemic influenza in the crew. The master of the vessel reported very shortly after his arrival at port that the entire crew had sickened with the infection, the symptoms being high fever, cough, oryza, and more or less prostration. Epidemic influenza has been reported in several countries in Europe during the summer of 1918, more especially in Spain. According to press dispatches, 8,000,000 persons have suffered from the disease in that country.

The preponderance of cases in Spain has led to the denomination of the outbreak in this country as Spanish influenza, for health authorities say that it might as accurately be called Russian in 50 far as it denotes character of disease. The period of incubation for influenza is from one to four days, oftenest to four days. The onset is usually abrupt, the health report says, with fever and associated pneumonia. Continuing, this report says: "Despite popular opinion that "grippe" spreads over the world in some mysteriously rapid manner, it never spreads, as Osler, points out, more rapidly than methods transportation. It is true, however, that the influenza bacillus is probably constantly present in the respiratory passages.

The disease is highly communicable and during epidemics it spreads with remarkable rapidity. The sources of infection are undoubtedly the secretions from the nose, throat, and lungs of cases or carriers, and the mode of transmission is by direct or indirect conveyance of these secretions fection or by means of handkerchiefs, towels, eating utensils, etc." Methods for the control of the disease may be summarized as follows, quoting from a health report adopted by Sur-General Rupert Blue: (a) The infected individual and his environment. (b) Recognition: By clinical manifestations and bacteriological findings. (c) Isolation: Bed isolation of infeeted individuals during the course of the disease. Sereens between beds are to be recommended.

(d) Immunization: Vaccines are used with only partial success. (e) Quarantine: None; impracticable. (f) Treatment: Rest in bed, warmth, fresh air, abundant food, with Dover's powder for the relief of pain. Every case with fever should be regarded an serious and kept in bed at least until defervescence of the fever. Convalescence requires careful management to marions The Fourth Liberty Loan A Proclamation By the Governor.

Whereas six billions of dollars must be raised in these United States by the sale of Bonds, from the 28th of September to the 19th of October: and the State of North Carolina must Libertx, subscribe $39,900,000.00 and to raise this vast amount we must have the united, heroic and uninterrupted efforts of all our people. NOW THEREFORE, Thomas Walter Bickett, Governor of said State, do hereby declare and proclaim, FIRST: That from Monday, September 30th, to Saturday, October 19th, no Superior Courts be held, except to clear the jails; and the Superior Court Judges are requested to adjourn their courts accordIngly. SECOND: That Sunday, October 6th, be and is hereby designated an Heroes' Day, on which day all of our people shall assemble, in their villages, hamlets crose roads, and shall pay tribute and homage Churches, and meeting houses, in cities and towns, in Schooler to the boys who have laid down their lives in the sacred cause of Liberty. Let this day be made memorable and hallowed, let the memory and spirit of the neighborhood boy, on Field of Honor, so move us that we shall withhold not of our substance in the cause for which he died. Let committees of patriotic men, women and children sell these Liberty Bonds by the millions on that secred occa.

sion, while messages from stump and pulpit proclaim the purity of our motives and the justness of our cause. THIRD: That Saturday, October 12th, be and it in hereby designated an Liberty Bond Day. And on this day I especially enjoin all stores, schools and all factories, not engaged in war work, and other industries, to close their doors until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Let the school children of the State, under the direction of tendent J. Y.

Joyner, join hands in making this a great and glorions day in North Carolina annals by doing their utmost in welling Liberty Bands, and in arousing their friends and neighbors to the peril and the necessity of the hour. The last Liberty Loan drive took place in the month of May and the bulk of our people had no ready funds in hand, and so it came about that, while we over -subscribed our allotment (the allotment being $18,555,000.00, and our subscription being nearly twenty-five mil. lion dollars, or 31 per cent over the top) less than 4 per cent of the people of the State purchased these bonds. This was the lowest ratio of any, State in the Union. In the present subscription it is earnestly hoped and believed that, with practical unanimity, all the people of the State will participate.

Let the slogan be, "A BOND IN EVERY Napoleon once said that in every battle five minutes decided which army would conquer. We have now reached this moment in the World War. Men of this commonwealth, which historians agree in the freest of the free, in hour, big with the fate of America four and of Freedom, let us highly resolve that, under God, we will do full duty, with. holding nothing from the cause- howsoever costly or dear-for, It may be in yon smoke concealed, Your comrades chase e'en now the fliers, And, but for you, possess the field. Done at our City of Raleigh, this the 26th day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and eighteen, and in the one hundred and year of our American Independence.

Lieutenant Osborne has charge of the military police.

Ono hundred new second lieutenants are expected in camp momentarily, having been assigned to Camp Polk from Camp Devens, Ayers, Mass. This number of new officers will fill the vacancies the 305th battalion. The regiment of negro stevedores, 967 men, is also expected at the camp daily. 'Tents have already been erected for them and arrangements made to take care of the number. The battalion will be used in construction work.

All the men in camp who have a part in "A Day in Camp," the vaudeville sketch which was shown at the auditorium last Saturday night, will leave this afternoon for Durham, where the show is to be staged Saturday night. The Bull City has arranged to take care of the Camp Polk men and give them a big audience at their performance. J. W. PLESS, MARION, STILL RUNNING FOR SENATE Announces That He Has Not Quit Race in 33rd Senatorial District Mr.

J. W. Pless, of Marion, Democratie nominee for the State Senate Thirty-third Senatorial District, composed of the counties of McDowell, Burke, Caldwell and Alexander, was here yesterday, making it plain that he has determined to withdraw from the race as at first announced. Mr. Plegs is division counsel for the Clinchfield and Ohio Railroad, and under ruling of the Director General of the railroad is not required to surrender his railroad post until elected to the State office.

Mr. Pless received the nomination without opposition and expects to be alected. WIRES PRESIDENT ON PRICE FIXING Gov. Bickett Says Producers Resent Attitude and State of Market URGES FULL. FREE AND FAIR INQUIRY Advance Information Secured By Individuals Indicates Unfortunate Situation "It full and impartial investigation shows desirability of fixing prices and necessity is fully explained and put at fair figure no one can justly complain but producers are deeply resentful of present attitude and state of market," Governor Bickett yesterday wired President Wilson in the matter of cotton price fixing.

Governor Biekett expressed the hope that the dent would revert to his original Intention to fix the price of cotton only it free, full, free and fair inquiry shows it to be desirable and feasible. In the afternoon this telegram of recognition was received at the governor'a office from Secretary Tumulty: "Telegram received. The President directs me to assure you that the considerations you urge will have their just weight in determining any clusions that may be arrived at." The Governor's telegram in fall follows: "Trust that you will revert to your original intention to fix price cotton only if full, free and fair inquiry shows it to be desirable and feasible. War Industries Board undoubtedly honest In their position, however, their training and environment naturally prejudices the farmers case. Apparently farmers have had no adequate representation.

Mills were permitted to make unlimited profits for several years, and the margin allowed them now is very large. sidering these facts it appears undemoeratic to stop the producer from securing a profit that cannot equal what has been allowed the manufacturer. The labor income of the farmer and his family is entitled to the same per cent of increase as other laborers have received. They have not received this in the past, and are not now in the south. If full and impartial investigation shows desirability of fixing price and necessity fully explained and put at fair figure no one can justly complain, but producers are deeply resentful of present attitude and state of market.

Advance information secured by individuals indicates very unfortunate situation." OPENING FOOTBALL GAME ON SATURDAY State College Will Play Guilford On Gridiron at Riddick Field The opening football game of the season in Raleigh will be staged on the gridiron at Riddick Field Saturday afternoon when State College meets Guilford College. With both institutions presenting elevens of an unknown quantity the struggle is not expected to be any display of the finer points of the game which might be shown later in the 808- son. Handicapped by only a week of practice and raw material, Coach Tal Stafford will enter his eleven into the fray with an uncertainty as to results. State College has only six old players on the 1918 eleven and they include McMurray, Murray, Wagner, Mitchell and Brackett. Hudson, DeBerry, Gurley, Black, Whitaker and Faucette, mainstays of last year's team, did not return to college this fall their absence will be felt by the coach.

However, Coach Stafford is not couraged. Ho has an abundant supply of material composed of husky boys. The coaching this season is being done by Graduate Manager Tal Stafford and Prof. McClure, both of whom did valuable work last year in assistance to Coach Harry Hartsell. Hartsell is now in the employ of the DuPonts at Hopewell, Va.

The Guilford eleven is a stranger to officials at State College and it is not known how many veterans returned to that institution this year. FIELD SUPERVISOR FOR REVENUE RAIDING MEN A new office of supervisor of field raiding officers has been created in Revenue Agent Vanderford's division and Deputy Collector T. M. Arrowsmith, of Hillsboro, has been appointed to this position. He will supervise the work of all revenue officers in North and South Carolina.

Supervisor Arrowsmith has already begun plans for systematic raids during the fall in an effort to break up illicit distilling. CAPT. WALLER STATIONED IN CITY PERMANENTLY Captain C. E.

J. W. Winborne, of Marion, it is now announced, will be candidate and his friends have already forwarded to ernor Bickett, now in the western part of the State urgent recommendations for the appointment of the Mazion man.

WANTS GOVERNOR TO FIND WIFE STEALER; "PUT HIM IN FRANCE" "Dave is black, find him and put him in service," is the injunction reaching the office of Governor Bickett from Gas Karnuth, of Badin, black. Gus has lost his wife and child and charges dave with stealing the family. The Albermarlo Enterprise thus tells of Gus's appeal to the Governor: Some modern maker of plays pictures Shakespeare 38 carrying about with him a note book and pencil, forever, and without any regard for eircumstance, industriously writing down apt sentences of words which he happened to hear in ordinary conversation. And Kipling, himself makes half-apology for some of his verse with "When 'Omer smote 'is bloomin' Lyre, 'E 'eard men sing by land and sea; And what he thought he might require, 'E went and took, the same as me." To proceed, the fashion nowadays, among the nltra-highbrow writers--or it was before the war turned all the silver trumpets into clubs--to make poetry and play of the negro, to seek out and sing their songs, even the phonographs lauding 'negro "In there be left 8 poet hereabouts, and the department of labor says they are an essential industry, we offer him this, which sounds borrowed from Stevenson, only on the face it heart is Melted Down With tears" out of the following communication to the Sep the 9-1918 you for to find Dave hopkins Honable gov BiCket, Dear Sir i ask a Man a Bout 26 years of age he has stolen My Wife and Child and I am about 54 years of age and heart is him and put him in france for ho is Melted Down With tears pleas And Been givin Me truble for the Last 12 Month the child is six years old goin on seven and i Want to send him to School Dave hopkins waite a Bont. 190 More or Les and rite foot of Large faces Large eyes the Woman waite is 224 Color Dark Brown and Dave is Black find him and put him in Service.
