Jackson County the
First
Raleigh, N.C., Feb. 20—Jackson county was the first in the
State to go over the top in the Armenian-Syrian campaign. Mr. A.C. Reynolds,
county chairman, was appointed by Dr. Joyner, and three days after his
appointment he called the State headquarters to tell Dr. Joyner that his county
had not only raised its quota, but had gone far over the top.
Mr. Reynolds said he had no difficulty in securing the cash
and that all he had to do was show the people the telegram from Dr. Joyner
appointing him chairman. In that telegram Dr. Joyner had stressed the needs of
the suffering people of Armenia and Syria, and that plea was all that was
necessary to arouse the sympathy and open the hearts of the people of Jackson
county. Chairman Reynolds said he did not think it necessary to wait for the
drive, which is set for Feb. 21 to 28, but went right out after the money as
soon as he was put in command of the county, and he turned the trick.
Dr. Joyner predicts that this relief fund will come equally
as readily in other parts of the State as it was raised in Jackson county.
