BY ANNA BOWLES WILEY. Fifth District Press Chairman. "Am I suffragist? Say woman, I*ve been a suffragist ever since I could read what women were doing to get the vote," declared Mrs. Annio Slater, aged 64 years, who Is employed at the Sullivan hotel where she has worked for six years. "I even registered to vote and had that chance taken away from me before I could cast the ballot. I never before cared very much, that is to hurt, until now when I want to vote for my old neighbor, Ralph Moss, for congress, "You see, Ralph ICoas lived my neighbor- for twenty-five years. Just within one mile of each other, and say, lady, I want to tell you that I feel like retting up and fighting right out, when I read all them Ilea that are being printed about that good man. lie is a good man, I know. I never needed any help msself, when we lived neighbors my husoaud was living and we had plenty, but Ralph Moss was an angel to the poor folks. He was kindness lt&elf to the old who needed it. Land, I know of folks, whom he has helped, right out of his own pockets too, to bury when tlieir folks had no money to do It with. When he butchered, ho would carry around meat, dividing it among those that needed it, and right here let me say, that Ralph Moss sacrificed himself for years, remaining single and doing everything he could for her as long as his mother lived. Ho never married until after she died, and believe me he picked out a good one when he did, because Mrs. Moss .iust matches him for goodness, The folks down around Center Point and Ashboro where we all lived Just worship that man. When the mines down there were worked out, who came to the rescue? Why Moss and it was Moss that about kept the families, while heads of them were some place *lse hunting work. Ho wasn't runnint? for office in those days cither, for I left Center Point In 1S98 and this was long before that. Old soldiers down there know how good he is, they know besides that when he went down to Washington and came back, he didn't f*el his keepin" but he just put on his old cowhide boots, his old clothes and. got out among his poor folks again. You mean to tell me that Washington and holdtn" «ffioe changed him Into" a slacker, like them fellers are sayln' It has? I Bay no, I brand that as a dirty falsehood in tfteface of it. My boys all voted last term for Everett Sanders, cause I told them too, for I thought Everett was a good fellow, but say, when he starts things.like this on a good man like Moss, nothing doing this rear. My boys will all vote for Moss because I again say so, and I've got five, and I can tell you I'm 'lectioneering for Moss evgry chance I've got. I even talk to the boarders and tell them what a good man Moss Is. Moss ft slacker? No Indeed, besides his ancestors fought in the war of the rebellion and be Is a patriot through and through. It does make me mad as hops, however, that I can't vote for Ralph, though I suppose I will get my vote sometime, but it will be too late to do me any good In voting for the man I am betting ot Write It up for the paper? Well I'd Say you can. Just tell e\ery one for I */ould tell it from the house tops if I could, that Mrs. Annie Slater is for Ralph Moss, teeth and toenails and is betting on him winning out too. A' good man always wins." RED CROSS APPEALS TO PUBL!C FOR EMERGENCY HOSPITAL NEEDS.

WINDOW GRIPS THE HEART AT YANKS' POSrOFFICE. The labels have started to c6me In over at the Yanks' postoffic®, 666 Cherry street. Besides the bringing in of the labels, many, many inquires are answered each day as to just how to proceed to send the package to "our boy" and "Just what can we send," etc. It is surprising Just what you can •end. Friday one mother entered the "postofflce" armed with two pairs of warm socks, a pair of gloves and a sweater, all made for her son over therei, Right here let ma say that about the hardest task of the whole $ Iftanngpmrnt o£ Lh* (Uatloa tm the

women in charge is the refusal of such articles as cannot be sent. One looked at the other in silence while eyes telegraphed "how can we tell her?" Until one of the assistants took the sweater rolled it into the tighest bundle possible, and after pounding and pushing tho carton was sealed, tied and stamped ready for 'cross seas, and when some Yankee ohap .opens his Christmas package onChristmas morning, he will tlnd a warm, well knitted aweater from—his mother. The gloves and socks have to Wait, but the mother went home satisfied, anyway.1 After she paid her powtnge nhe had some chancre left, and she, walked over to the attractive red box hanging on the side wall, placed there for the purpose of donation of small changc by anyone who wishes to contribute to a fund which will be used for packages which could not be filled otherwise by parents and .relatives, who receive the label, but are in circumstances which will not permit them to send any Kifrs. In this box this mother deposited her Change, declaring.that all ahe- was left here for was to contribute to the boys over there.

Many people are placing contributions. Patrick II. Mahaney donated six pounds of hard candies, Theodore Hulman, clgarets Simeon Waggoner a large carton rtf good cigarets and a box of candy, while the box on the wall which bears the significant slogan, "A few cents will help fill an empty bos for a lonesome soldier over tlrere,'\ is beginning to grow weighty with change besides a five-dollar bill which was given on ihe-lif*t d^y. a woman friend. -.

Headquarter® is a most attractive place, all done in khaki color and patriotic crimson. Red wreaths with wide flowing bows entice the eye from the walls and vie witlt Old Olory in beauty. The window, with its significant message, Is catching the eye of paRsersby, and many have declared that the sentiment grips the heart like a human hand. Great, strong men have stopped for an Instant, looked, and went on, to corrio'VftK"and take a Ionges look ^hicJi finally brought the tears.
