Wilson. Dr. H. Q. Alexander, of
Mecklenburg county, was re-elected
president of the .North Carolina Farm
ers' union oveY Ray King, of Nash
county, by a vote announced as 64
to 30, at the annual convention of the
union here. The convention began it3
session this morning. ; -
Dr. J. M. Templeton, of Wake coun
ty, was elected state organizer to suc
ceed J. Z. Green, who resigned from
the place several months ago. ,
Mr. King, who opposed Dr. Alex
ander, did not announce .his candidacy
for the presidency until very recently.
He has represented Nash county at
anuual meetings on two previous oc
casions. Several of the local unions of the
state came out against Dr. Alexander's
re-election and instructed their dele
gates to vote against him. It was re
ported that prior to the battle started
against his regime, Dr. Alexander had
considered dropping out of the race,
but when opposition was openly
avowed against him he made the fight
which ended in his re-election.
There were about 200 delegates from
the various counties of the state pres
ent when President Alexander official
ly called the convention to order. The
meeting was opened with prayer by
Dr. J. M. Kester, pastor of the Wilson
Baptist church.
The address of welcome was made
by P. L. Carr, for the city of Wilson
and the union of Wilson county. R.
G. Maxwell, of Duplin county, respond
ed for the union.
The reports of President H. Q.
Alexander and Secretary E. C. Faires
showed a total of 17.000 members in
the state, an increase in membership
over last year. There is approximate
ly $14,000 in the treasury at present.

su
,
OH looket here! My, wasn't Santa good!
He gave me all the presents that he could.
That's 'cause I always kept so neat and clean
On Sundays dresst just like a fairy Queen.
I minded darl ing Muzzer ev'ry day;
Was careful of my dresses when at play,
And held my Oran'ma's yarn when she did knit,
For that's the way I did my little bit.
And when my Dad came home from work each night
I tried to please him with my tiny might;
Always brought" his pipe and paper, too,
So he could smoke and read it thru and thru.
Dear Santa Claus, in Toyland, heard bout me,
'Cause my Muzzer said he said, said he,
TU just give that sweet and 'bedient chile
The very things she's wanted all the while.
So see this pretty, sparkling Christmas Tree
And the toys and things he gave to me;
When you're good like me and try to please
Santa Claus will give you toys like these.
HOLIDAY SEASON IN ITALY
Dr. Grenfell ' of Labrador Fame
Explains Christmas Observances
In the Sunny Land.
Travelers visiting Rome while it
was still the center of a land of peace,
found Christmas there a day of joy
ousness ; and the merry bells of many
churches, ushering in the day, spoke
the familiar language of home.
Just before the war, Dr. Grenfell,
of Labrador fame, indulged in the
unusual luxury of a brief holiday in
Europe, after years of tireless service
among the fishermen. His journey
brought him and Mrs. Grenfell to
Rome just 'as the many religious and
civil observances of the t Christmas
season were about to take place. A
great contrast these scenes were to
the Christmases of Icebound Labra
dor. The decorations, the greetings, and
the crowds flocking in and out of
churches, emphasized the spirit of the
season. "All the places of worship into
which we peeped," he says, "were
ablaze with lights, while procegMons
of priests in glittering qpbes, witji so
norous choruses and ascending incense,
appealed to the various senses."
At one church they viewed the five
boards believed to have formed a part
of the cradle of our Lord.
The American Episcopal Church of
St. Paul, 'where they worshiped on
Christmas morning, was crowded with
the Protestant population of the Holy
City. A feature of the service was the
dedicating of a beautiful new mosaic,
covering one entire wall of. the church
and representing the . nativity of
Christ. .
Of the Coliseum, says Dr. Grenfell,
"we could think of no place, better to
suggest to our minds. the communion
of ttie saints ; and as we walked
round the tiers of seats we could see
again the 'men of like passions wirh
ourselves,' giving their lives for the
same Master we claim to serve.
When darkness had fellen the trav
ellers wel attracted by numbers of
bright lights oyer by the Porta San
Giovanni. These proved to announce
"all the fun of a fair' there in Italy
iust as one finds them, in this , coun-
try at a "county iair.
BEAR, MOT BARE
The Boys Are All Away
How shall we wreathe the holly?
How hang1 the mistletoe?
How shall we keep the' Christmas feast
With the joy we- used to know.
When on the happy Christinas Day
The boys are all away?
The holly pricked their fingers .-
And brought wee drops of red, .
When cauh beneath the mistletoe " ,
The laughing lassies fled.
No romping games this year we'll play
The boys are all away. :
But we will never shame , the lads
With hearts so bold ahd true,
We'll never mix our Christmas greens
With sombre boughs of yew;
With courage high we'll learn to say:
"The boys are all away."
j
We'll keep the heart and make the horn
As bright as bright can be .
And .sing the carols old and sweet
Of Christ's nativity,
Like Mary smile, the while we pray
"For all the boys away.

Winston-Salem Situation Worse.
.Winston-Salem Dr Carlton, city.
physicianf .announces that oyer 700
new cases of influenza were reported

week. While no order has been is
sued to close the schools and moving
picture shows, etc., Dr. Carlton ad
