To meet this need we recom- .-mejid the organization of teacher draining classes in the local ehur- ich or community. When you decide to start a class »write to the office of the Board of Toung People's Work for an en- rrollmnnt blank, An exam ination is given upon ■ -the com pletion of’ each q u arter ,oi the* course of study, the que.s- •tions b ejn g liur'nished by th is U oard upon reciuest. When tho ',sBXamination has been com pleted, the papers should be forwarded to the Board, upon receipt of which they will be graded and the grades returned lo the teacher. The Board recommends the Standard three years’ course com­ posed of 40 lessons per year, cov­ ering the following subjects: "The Pupil,” “The Teacher,” "The Teacher’s Study of the Life of Christ,”' “Organization and Ad­ ministration of the Church School,” composing the first year; “Teaching Values of the Old Testament,” “Teaching Values of the New Testament, O-iher Than the Life of Christ,” “Program of the Christian Religion,” “How to Train the Devotional Lif^<” com­ posing the second year.. Specia­ lization Work covering forty les­ sons on either' of the departments of the Sunday School, composing the third year. Persons successfully complet­ ing this course will be given a denominational diploma, and up­ on certificate from the Board may also secure the diploma of the International' Sunday School Council of' Religious Education. While the Board recommends the three years’ Standard course, we will give a certificate for eith­ er of the following Standard one year courses, where the three years’ course^annot be taken: "Teaching tho^eacher,’’ “Prepa­ ration for Teaching” or “Train­ ing for Service.” Summer Conferences for young people have come to be recognized as one of the most valuable agen­ cies for the development of life and securing recruits ior-the min-- istry, miBBion fields and other lin­ es of Christian service. It provides placo for the as- sembling of young people under the most advantageous surround­ ings where they may receive in­ formation and inspiration which will enable them to retu rn to th eir local church better prepared for, C hristian service. In order to maintain a deno­ minational standard and produce uniformity in our Summer Con­ ferences for young ptople the Board offers four courses of four years each. These courses of study are arranged for Children’s Division Workers, Young People, Loaders of Young People, Adults and Adult Workers. For the completion of either of the four years’ courses, the Board of Young People’s Work will give a Christian Worker’s Certificate. Certificittes will be given at each Summer Conference showing the studies taken an'’ the number of credits received. When uuPI-' cient credits have been secured these may be exchanged for a Christian Worker's Certificate. HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS Gow Testing Work in Davie County.

Wager, University of North Carolina.) ! Except in a few counties, coun­ ty government in North Carolina is headless, irresponsible, waste- ful and inefficient. This is piob- ably no more true of North Caro­ lina counties than of most of the other 8,200 counties in Ihe Unit­ ed States. A quarter of a century ago James Bryce made such a strong indictment against American city government that’ the cities were aBhT»mêa“âna h^narêas““of th^nT have since reorganized in the interest of efficiency and honesty. More than 300 cities are now ope­ rating under a commission or commission-manager plan. State governments are also be­ ing reorganized in the direction of simplification, contralized con­ trol and business efficiency. As the functions of government in­ crease and taxes multiply, tax­ payers are compelled to demand that government be administered on tho same level of business ef­ ficiency as any other corporation. In other words, they demand that patronage and waste be climinut- ' ed. In tho words of Herbert Quick, “the politician has béon driven into the last ditch and that ditch is the county courthouse.” County government is largely rur­ al government, so it is the farm­ er’s job to drive the politician from the courthouse. There are 100 counties in North Carolina. In 1910 they spent ap­ proximately $5,000,000, and had a bonded debt of $5,000,000. In 192B they spent ?3B,000,000, and had a bonded debt of $102,000,- 000. The per capita tax for coun­ ty and school purposes in 1910 was $2.25; in 1925, it had risen to $39.30. The per capita State debt rose from $3.20 to $60.64. It does not follow,, however, that there is any more waste propor­ tionately. Probably the North Carolina farmer is getting more for each dollar he pays in taxes than ever before. This is be­ cause there is no State property, tax, and all the property tax he pays is spent within the county. Still, he is not getting maximum return.",, for the simple reason | that county government is not ^ organized, equipped and staffed ' to nfcet its enlarged responsibili- I ties. A form of government that served very well when the func­ tions were few and simple, and expenditures amounted to only $50,000 a year, falls down when functions become more technical and expenditures mount to $350,- 000 a year. i The North Carolina Constitu­ tion provides for the popular elec­ tion of the following officials: board of commissioners, treasur- regiater of deeds, surveyor.er sheriff, clerk of superior court, and coroner. The first four, how­ ever, may be "modified, changed or abrogated” by statute of the General Assembly. In about one- fourth of the counties the treas- urership has been abolished as an elective office, and a bank is selected by the commissioners as fiscal agent. The commissioners have general fiscal and administ­ rative powers. They determine for what purposes county money shall be spent and they determine tho tax levy. They may buy or sell property or incur an indebt­ edness in the name of the coun­ ty. They have a general super­ vision over all county institutions, except that school matters have been delegated to a school board, and in many counties highway con.struction and maintenance has been delegated to a separate road board. Tax listers and assessors are appointed by the commission­ ers, and in most counties the sheriff acts as tax collector, as well as a police officer. The sheriff or one of hia deputies acts as jailer. The superior court meets two, three, or four times '!■ . a year in each county. In a few counties there is an inferior court known as a recorder’s court which may, have jurisdiction over the entire county, or only within a particular city. In most counti­ es there is no inferior court ex­ cept the justice of peace courts. There are numerous justices of the peace in each county, but on­ ly a few are active. They no longer have any administrative powers, but are simply petty mag­ istrates. They have lost the im­ portance and dignity that they once possessed. It will be seen from this enu­ meration that there are eight or ten separate departments in coun­ ty government, with no co-ordln- ation and no responsible execu­ tive headship. In a limited way the commissioners are the head of the county, but they cannot exert any real control over ofii- cials who are elected by popular vote in the same manner aa them­ selves. Even if they had the au­ thority, how can they keep up with county busineaa when they meet only one day a month, and then have-a .score of delegations to receive, and a hundred or more claims to audit? For all practi­ cal purposes the county haa no head, and it ia not surprising that it does not function efficiently. Any corporation that tried to get along with such an organization would go bankrupt in a month. Tho county’s main source of re­ venue is the general property tax. In 1920 a State-wide revaluation waa made, and an attempt made to make the tax .books tell' the truth. Since then the State has turned over the property tax ex­ clusively to the counties, so the assessment of property ia also left pretty much to the county. Consequently, there ia no uni­ form standard of valuationa be­ tween countics Neither do aaaes- ament values within a county re­ present any uniform relation to the true values. Most real estate ranges from 50 to 80 per cent, though it is not uncommon to find property asseased at is full market value. There ia a vaat amount of property, both tangible and' intangible, that eacaperf the tax books entirely. The assessment of property for taxation will nev­ er be done .satiafaetor'.'.y ao long aa it is loft o'cc.utiively to local men who are in'Jirperienced, an-d who are guided by personal pre- juilicea a:.d political fears. Furth- evniore, property v/ill continue to slip off the tax books until there ¡3 a better metho;l of preparing, ] r'.serving, and revising the tax nil. A few counties have full­ time tax supervisors who have earned their salaries many times over in the discovery of taxablea. North Carolina countiea are de­ ficient alao in tax collecting. Tax­ es become due in Octobei', but the taxpayer has until May to pay. A small.penalty is permitted aft­ er February, but it is rarely im­ posed. Frequently the commla-“ sioners extend the taxpaying per­ iod for several months; and it is not uncommon for a county to be collecting two or three years’ taxes at the same time. Thia is contrary to law, but is a common practice. In one county there are more than $100,000 of back taxes still uncollected. Land sales are only a gesture; rarely is thei'e a foreclosure. None of the other Southern States appears to lose as much from uncollected taxes and yet no State pays more liberal commissions for collecting taxea. The fault is pi’obably due to the prnctice of making the sheriff tax collector. He ia usually a politir clan, and uses the. tax colleetirtg power aa a political inatrument, I have often heard the remark,. "M r.---------------ia a fine sheriff; he never presses me for my tax- e.i.” Thero are a few counties in North Carolina in which modern systems of accounting have yeen installed', t^udits are made periodi- cally, aiid all temptation for the misappropriation' of funds is re­ moved. In moat countiea, howev­ er, there is no bookkeeping wor­ thy of the name. Frequently of­ ficials make no attempt to keep public funds separiite from their personal funds; they are allowed to go for years without a settle­ ment; and finally, the recorda on which to base a scttlemont are au incom,plete that a aettlement ia almost ' impoaaiblo. Sometimes a perfectly honest official gets so confused in hia accounts that he innocentlc uses up public funda, and thtín cannot make a settle­ ment in full. I know of several caaes where this has happened, and the commissioners have com­ promised and cancelled several thousand dollars of the deficit. No government can rise above the level of its bookkeeping. Lax­ ity in this respect is constantly tempting ofiicials to be dishonest. Furthermore, it makes it impos­ sible to discover the leakage in government. An adequate and uniform system of accounting would enable each county to com­ pare its expenditures item by item with its neighbors. The greatest waste of all in county government is that which grows, out of political patronage. We are ^till committed to the Jacksonian idea that democracy meana the popular election of all public officials for ahort terms, und that any person is qualified to fill any office. We look upon poli­ tical office not as a trust, but as a reward or prize. We give the offices_to_tho8e_who_have_served. their party faithfully, or to widows, cripples, veterans, or others whom we think deserving. If we want to use this method to administer relief, very well, ¡ but it does not make for econo-1 my. Not only does it fill our of- j fices with incompetents, but it means that those elected must use their office to repay those who elected them, or diapenae favora in order to aecure a re-election. The people expect public officiala to remit feea, lower aaseasmenta, grant rebates, and buy supplies from thoae who elected them. The official muat contribute to tho campaign fund, give to charity, sign notea, and in a hundred ways' keep the good will of his cons-1 tituenta. For all this, the tax-; payor ultimately pays. \Ve have let the office obscure the''work of the office. The .popular election of clerks and administrators is democracy gone to seed. County taxes are excessive be- cauae of' the looae, disjointed, antiquated and unintelligent mer thods used in conducting county busineaa. There can be no relief until we put into practice those same principles that operate in private business—a simple, di­ rect organization, trained ofiicials, and centralized accounting and control.

As the measures can be amend­ ed of course by striking out ob­ jectionable sections as in the main the bills do tackle the prob­ lem of government aid in market­ ing problems. At least one mea- .suro must be passed in the opini­ on of administration leadera. They probably will ailow the Hau­ gen bill and the Tincher bill to run the gauntlet in the senate with prosi)oct of prolonged debate and deadlock, hoping that Con­ gress will get into a compromise Community Hospitality ¡Contracts For 154 Miles Of New Roads Let On Past Tuesday« North Carolina and North Carolinians are growing bigger and broader every day. This atate has opened its eyes tb the fact that North Carolina is aecond to none when it comes .to holding points and places of attraction and entertainment for outsiders. And this new awakening has not turned the heads of our people. They re­ tain that old ante-bellum spirit of hospitality. Pinehurst shows that there are few spots on the American continent, Florida not excepted, more attractive to those who want to spend the winter where the climate is ideal, than North Carolina. In summer North Carolina’s mountains and North Carolina’s sea coast make exceed­ ingly choice retreats from the aun’a furious blaze. This to say nothing of our many mineral springs resorts in the piedmont section. Long Stretches of Construction X.ocat,iKl In. Eastern Counties KEEN COMPETITION HOLDS COST DOWN COW CAN’T MAKE MILK ON A TONIC, INSTITUTE WARNS Grass is a good tonic for the cow but she can't make milk on tonic, according to tho Larrowe Institute of Animal Economics. If she is expected to continue to do a day’s work every day, she will have to get enough to eat of a good nourishing feed. “i'ew dairymen realize that in somp respects a dairy cow is a great deal like a human being,” atatea the Institute. "No human being would stop eating meat and potatoes, simply because he was eating lettuce and spinach to tone up his aystem, yet many ilairyitien believe that their cows do not need grain simply because they have grass to graze on. "Fresh spring grass is a good tonic for the cow. ' It is green, juicy arid palatable. Cows like it. It tones them up and for a time will actually stimulate milk production. But grass at its best is half water, and a cow has to eat an enourmous amount of pasture daily to get the feed she needs. Grass, therefore, .should be used more as a tonic than as a feed. All dairymen should use pasture but they should use it intelligently and should luse it . with grain. The practice, of turn­ ing out herds on pasture as soon as the grass comes up thinck and green is always a costly move, both in damage to pasture, and, to an even greater extent, in the falling off in production on the part of cows relying, on grass alone for their nourishment.” Actual tests by E. A. Hanson, in charge of cow test association work in Minnesota, of the effects of pasture feeding aa compared to the use of grain, especially throughout the spring and early summer, showed that 1231 eowa receiving no grftin on pasture averaged 228 pounds of butterfat per year at a feed cost of $41.87. In contrast to this, 572 cows re­ ceiving grain while' on pasture averaged 296 pounds of butterfat per year, at a total feed coat of $49.35. That extra $7.48 spent for feed during the pasture seo- son resulted in an- additional 68 pounds of butterfat from, each COW) which, on the. basis of 40c a pound, was worth $27-,20, or ft ;j net.proflt of $19i72 abov^ th'e'iadr, . ded copt of ie§d, < - / .

The alternative, of course, is wise strategy, carefully executed by the President’s champions in Congress. Signs of this strategy came in the unprecedented action of' house leaders in reporting .8.QmB_farmJ.egi8latLQn_QU_tlie-i'c=_ cord. If this is not accomplished, a veto ia certain for the Haugen bill if it cornea to the White House in its present form, and it is doubtful if there are enough votes to paaa it over a presidential veto.

Tho sub­ ject permits of such wide debate and invplves such wide differences of opinion among farm groups themselves that the administra­ tion hopes some of the proposals will be lost in the shuffle and that the one which ia finally approved will enable the administration to proclaim to the agricultural world that it has done something ef­ fective to stabilize farm market­ ing. The least objectionable of all the bills ao far as President Cdol- idti'e is concerned ia what is known (IS the Aawell bill, introduced in the houae by Mr. Aswell, of Ala­ bama, democrat, and in the sen* ate by Charles Curtis, of Kansas, republican leader. It embodies whnt is known aa the yoakum plan and is designed to form itate marketing associations to cooperate witji a national farm board so that the gpvernment may work in close harmony with the co-operative marketing associa­ tions of which there are approxi­ mately >12,000.. This measure ^loesn’t put the government into the price-fixing business and In- volvea no appropriation of any consequence. The champions of the other measures do not have any serious objection to the' Curtis-Aawell bill except that they regard it aa not going far enough. The Tincher bill would provide fund of $100,000,000 to assist the existing ’ channels of credit and would helj^the co-operative associations over times of stress 'n case they decided to market '‘urpluses by holding the same for a better export price. The Hau- bill differs, very little from ‘he McNary-Haugen farm 'mea­ sure which has been before Con- .’fesii for the last two years. Its “TO is to stabilize marketing by 'I'oviding for the collection of an •lunlization fee from all produc- '•'Si which fee is to be vised to ™set any losses in exporting the "fplus. Tho theory ia that the wvernment will merely finance he turnover; This bill provides w a revolving fund of $375,000,- The equalization fee would ot be applied for two years, he governor would control the McLtan. Last year when the governor took office he pledged a balanced budget with income controlling expenditures if the legislature gave him the power .to make it effective. The legis­ lature gave him the power, but during the last three months of 1925 the treasury showed an in­ creasing deficit. Mr. McLean was not worried, however, and pre­ dicted the income collections would safely curry tho State past. There remain now but about three months of the present fiscal year and there ia a aurplus in the treasury of three and a quar­ ter milliona. If the rate of ex­ penditure of the paat aeveral montha ia not exceeded the State will have aufficient funda to end the fiacal year even, and possibly with a surplus. The governor is repoi'ted to be tremendously pleas­ ed with the showing, as he has a right to be, for it ia the suc­ cessful carrying out of hia "caah” basis for financing as opposed to the Morrisonian plan of “ac­ cural” financing. GOV.

Speaking of hospitality as a business proposition, to say nothing of the fine virtue itself, for it is a virtue, few qualities do, more to put a town, a community or a atate on a sure footing than find treatment to visitor from the outside, for invariably the visitor goes back homo a better friend. And that’s what puts a community on the map. When outsiders becoine interested and commence to boost, the boosting ia effective. Possibly the greatest asset an in­ dividual may have, are his friends. The same thing may b-ii said of a community or a state. North Carolina is now in the limelight as few other sections of the nation ape, and this is largely becauskii of the advertising which Its friends on the outside are giving It, and all free of charge. Coming down nearer home, Davie county could do few things which would help more than to make more friends among the lead­ era of the state. Thats’ one thing we ought to start out to secure, more friends. And the only way for us to make these new and valuable friends, is to invite them here and ent>?rtain them while here in such a. manner as to make them forever remembefr us as th^ most hospitable people on earth. This would cost us a little, but the cost would be returned four fold, and then in this hospitality we would all grow Into bigger and better men and women and would thereby cultivate that fine virtue which Is daily being more and more neglected in this age of industrialism and materialism., And we w’ould get pleasure out of the exercise of that virtue as is always the case with those who practice a noble virtue.

In this connection we observe with interest that the association, com­ posed of the Commissioners of the various countiea in the State, have requested the Governor to appoint, and thnt he has appointed, a com­ mission to study and report to the next meeting of that associa­ tion for their consideration and action, a plan of simplifying and improving the methods of county administration. The Public Schbols Believing that' a democracy must rely upon an adequate sys­ tem of public education for the perpetuation of its free institu- iions and for, the preservation of liberty, to ita citizens aga|hst tho encroachment of selfish and do­ minant interests, the Democratic party has always fostered a sys­ tem of free schools for all the people. Our public; scliools- sys tom is at the foundation of, our material progress. From year to year it has been expanded to meet thc widening needs of the people. Progress i;i education'like.ev­ ery other kind of progress is Л matter of growth. The principal requisite In our present educatid- hfti, system is to equalize the school facilities of the rural child ren, particularly those who live in the less wealthy counties, so that we may provide as nearly as possible, equality of opportunity in educational advantages for all the children of thc State as fast as bur resources will permit. Wo must constantly strive to reach this goal. This last General As­ sembly, realizing the need for fur ther progress In education, pro vjded for an educational com- misaion'to mnko a complete Inves tigation of the cost of our present system and the means of collect­ ing and dissemijiating accurate Information ns to the educational needs of the State, in respect to its system of public schools as well as Its institutions of higher learning! In accordance with this act, the Governor has ap pointed a commission composed of able and conscientious men and women to' make the investigation and survey authorized by the act and report their findings of fact and recommendations to the see« elon of the General Assembly which convenes in January, next. We believe that the report of said commission will be of great value to the next General Assembly when it comes to determine what shall be the future policy of the Stato in respect to our entire system of public education. Good Roads We rejoice in the remarkable progress that has been made to­ ward the fulfillment of.the pro­ mise of our platform of 1920, for thc establishment and mainten­ ance of a State system of 'high­ ways. This great achievement is being carried on and will be com­ pleted without levying any taxes on property by the State for thia or any other purpose, and with a system of financing that will adequately malntm'n all roads in | the State system, pay interest on' indebtedness contracted, provide for the full payment of all bonds as they become due and payable, and a substantial additional sum for new construction. It illustra­ tes anew the capacity of the Dem­ ocratic party to provide for the State’s large needs as well as smiill, honestly, economically and efilciently, and free from narrow partisanship. We pledge tho party to s\ continuance of the present highway . construction program as rapidly as practical from tho sources of revenue heretofore set aside and dedicat­ ed^ to thnt purpose. The State should render every assistance possible, after pi'oviding for the completion ■ and maintenance ofj the. State .system, to aid tho coun­ ties in organizing efficient sys­ tems of conectlng county roads, Fishing Industry We endorse the program com­ menced sevei’al years ago of con- r.t/l to r4 * (_ M lS 9 ROSA М1СНАВ1Л9, N n t Ог1$вМ ( М М .

SPRING H0U8ECLEAN1NG With spring housecleaning comes the desire on the part every good housewife to get rid I of a lot of rubbish that haa ac- ctimulated since the family was driven indoors for the winter. And with it too comes the always old, ever new, desire to fix up the house a bit with hew things, Time was when this , longing found expression in new curtains, perhaps a general redecorating, and most certainly an article or two of new furniture. Frequently, she stood apparent, ly alone in her desire for new things about the house, for the titular head of the family, man­ like, could see no need of such innovations until they were some­ what forcibly brought to hia at­ tention, I The modern housewife, just the same as her mother or her elder, sister of ten year» ago is already: planning her 1926 sprinK house, cleaning changes. She is looking. fonvard with keen anticipation ! to the day when she will turn the , house upside down, from base­ ment to attic-—just aa all Eve’s married daughters have periodi­ cally done—and is already men­ tally buying paint and varnish, hanging pictures and wielding a du.st cloth. But the modern wife ia interest­ ed In other things besides merely cleaning and beautifying her ! home. She is decidedly practical in her thoughts and plans. She wants to run her home in an ef­ ficient way, to cut expen.sea, to improve the quality of the family’s food, and, whenever possible to save herself needless labor and close confinement to the kitchen, Thouaiands of housewives, in starting their apring houseclean­ ing will begin with the family ice bo.x, which requires renovating to guard against the insRiiitary conditions caused by dampness. Thia 'alone requires a great amount of work—just taking care of it. Work that is eliminated by the electric refrigerator. Electric refrigeration preserves foods pei'fectly. Foods usually regarded as highly perishable, such as ripe berries or tomatoes can be kept in the cabinet for a number of days and they will re­ tain their original freshness. She has the assurance that anything taken from it will be fresh and wholesome, ready for use. Not only does the electric re­ frigerator keep highly perishable foods in'a perfectly fresh condi­ tion but it actually improves cer­ tain vegetables, such as lettuce and celery which remain criap and appetizing on its cold, dry shelves. The full flavor of meats and the sweetness of butter, milk and cream i^ preserved for an indefinite period. Then it provides ice cubes of convenient size for table use. These .cubes are frozen from the regular family drinking water. They are clear, clean and uncon­ taminated by foreign matter. In addition, the housewife with an electric refrigerator in her kitchen can always have many new ices, chilled loods, frozen desserts and other wonderful dainties. The Frigidairo recipe book tells of dozens of delightful dishes she can prepare in this manner, with little trouble and slight expense.

' ' , PLANNING FOK “THE HOiVIB BEAUTIFUL” IN 1926 ( By Mrs. Lindsay Patterson, in ‘'i’he Progressive Farmer.) Every spi’ing that comes along I am just as thrilled as if I were seeing niy iirst one. Repetition cannot dull the glory of the change froni death to life. I am so surprised, too, to see '80 many plants that I thought had died from last summer’s drouth. Those sensible plants just went into summer quarters like bears go into winter quarters and stay­ ed below ground while it was so hot. Now the very ones that 1 mourned as dead are poking their nice green noses out of thp ground as chipper and hearty as you please. Mother Nature certain­ ly takes care of her own. And the peonies that I wailed over loudest and longest are the most flourishing—a whole border of them. When I saw the luxuriant leaves growing in the half-frozen ground nnd recalled niy wasted anguish of last summer, I thought of those funny, lines of Edna St. •Vincent Millay: "Was it for this I said my prayers And wept and Wailed and kicked ‘ : the stairs” . ^ ; Why do we ao often just take tho worst for granted instead of pa- ;tiently waiting for the best which invariably comes, if we are con­ tent to wait? three years ago. I , set out a col- aive one, though it does mean that you will have to give time and labor and thought to make it'eyi>n half what you want it to be.. And donT worry if you m.akd mistakes and set out plants where you later find they are in the way, I wi.sh you could gaze on my mis­ fit jobs, though I’ve been working with flowers all my life and ought- to know how by this time. Yet at least one-third of my job.each season is undoing what I did the previous year. I’ve just changed my mind, or things didn’t look as I thought they would. So mistakes are all in the day’s work and we cnn Jet them go nt that. Life is long enough to do, all you want to in; but it’s entire' ly too short to worry about any- t,hing, I (loii’t care what it is. Un­ do your mistakes if possible, and if it isn’t rememoer that one sometimes pays a heavy price for wisdom, and let that be your price and don’t make the same mistake over again. This must be the native home- of the wild violet. I have never seen so many varieties nor such luxuriant growth. The loveliest of them all is the tiny white sort—so very tiny that ono has to stoop, down to see that it is a violet at all. It grows luxuriantly in arijl .soil that looks as if no life'could be supported in it. It’s the •very daintiest thing in the shape of ;a ilower that I have ever seen; and if . little baby spirits ever comd back to this earth to play ill' thc springtime (and I,am riot so sure what 1 think about their doing so), I know they go back to Heav-jrmua «ци.д. ,ow. ^,4.. „ -■'■180» 1 KIIU ilection ,of,bulbs all-over the hill, earïymo7ning with their as I wanted ;to naturalize them,' fu • ■ and they have.

Beautiful Assortment Voiles, Plain, Figured, Polkadots I I Friday evening at 8 o’clock in the high school auditorium, the primary grades of the Mocksville School presented “Pandora,” a charming operetta based on Haw­ thorne’s story “Paradise of Chil­ dren,” in which more than thirty children from the first three grad­ es took part. The operetta was given in three acts which represented the three periods of the day, morning, noon, and twilight. In the first act Quicksilver brings the box and warns the children not to open it. Act two shows how Pandora's curiosity gets the better of her and she opens the box, letting out the troubles. But this like all other fairy stories, has a happy ending and in the last act happi­ ness is restored by Hope and Love. Solo parts were taken by Mar­ garet Smith as Pandora, Billy Mooney as Epimetheus, and Caro­ lyn Cherry as Hope. The entire cast was as follows: Pandora, Margaret Smith; Epi- metheua, Billy Mooney; Hope, Carolyn Cherry; Quicksilver, Al­ bert Chaffin; Love, Mary Harris; Troubles. William Chaffin, A. T. Grant, Billy Nail, Lonnie G'ray Call, Lois Binkley, Margaret Ward, Ashley Dwiggins, Louise Frost; Chorus, children from first three grades. : The operetta was coached by Miss Isabelle De Vloming, director of public, school music, who was pssisted by the primary grade teachers,.

FULL (continued from page 2) next General Assembly to work out n plan by which the work of conserving and developing our commercial fisheries, as well as continuing on a large scale the work now being done by the State fish hatcheries may be continued. Rail and Water Transportation Our State should hove the bene­ fit of fair, just and equitable freight rates and any discrimina­ tion against our people in this re- apect must be removed at any cost. We endorse ond commend the efforts of the legislative, ex­ ecutive and administrative depart­ ments of the State government under Democratic control that linve for many years labored in co-operation with shippers of this State to remove discriminations tlint have existed in /interstate rates to the detriment that pre- .nulice of our commerce. We re- .joiee that substantial measures of relief have been obtained and jiledge our unrelenting efforts to this cause until all discrimina­ tions arc removed. The Democra­ tic party is likewise committed to the policy of the State’s encour- afrinji the development of our wat­ er transportation. One of the moiit important considerations in con­ nection with our rate siuation is to do whatever we can without violating sound business principl- ’ cs toward establishing rate bas­ ing ports and developing a system of water transportation. The wat- ■erway is a great and constructi-ve project for Which the vision and leadership of North Carolina Senators and Representatives in Congress have constantly labored. This great undertaking ia only partially completed and will not develop the volume of water borne commerce which should be transported through It until it is Is completed. The completion of the inland waterway to Wilming­ ton would add a'voliime of com­ merce over this route that would make available; regular, fl-equent and dependable .service to all in­ termediato points. Wo commend this great enterprise ond call up­ on our Senators and Representa­ tives in Congress to use their best efforts to bring about its completion at the earliest possible moment. We commend the last General Assembly for its action in provid­ ing for a commission charged with the duty of making a complete survey and investigation of • the entire rate situation in North Carolina and reporting to th i General Assemble the facts while they may find to exist with re­ spect to existing discrimination in rates, the probable cause there­ of, the action which, in the judg­ ment ot the commission, will af­ ford a remedy and particularly what action, if any, the State should take in co-operation with Ihe Federal Government or other­ wise to aid in the development of ■water transportation to and from Tiorth Carolina ports.. Primaries and Elections The Denibcratlc party believes that all government should be con­ trolled by the people themselves. Every member of our party has, a right freely to párticipate in the choice of our candidates for pub­ lic oflice. Every voter has the right freely to participate in the selection of those who fill our of­ fices. The Democratic party fav­ ors all necessary laws to preserve and insure thèse rights to the in- crease’d and increasing number of ■voters. No other political party in ííorth Carolina permits its memb­ ership to have any party in the choice of candidates, but reserves ■such selection to a small coterie of .selfish politicians, usually Fed­ eral office-holders. More than 30 years ago the na­ tional Republican party sought to sub.iect North Carolina to the in­ famous Force bill. Today again the threat of that comes from tho enemy within our gates the State oi'Banization of that party, in its The State needs the, impetus which comes from the investment of capital in its iniustries and the 'Jovelopment of its natural re­ sources. Every honest business enterprise should be encouraged and justly treated by the govern­ ment in the enactment and admi­ nistration of law and the imposi­ tion of taxes. The policy of our party has been to aid and protect all men in the employment of the fruits of their industry and to re­ strain and prevent any'unjust il­ legal practices in the conduct of business. Equal and exact jus­ tice to all men has been the car­ dinal tenet of the Democratic party since the days of its foijnd- er. That policy wil! continue un­ der Democratic administration in North Carolina. The Democratic party has al­ ways been the firm friend of the toiler. The effective labor legis­ lation on our statute books in both State and Nation came from Democratic leadership. Our par­ ty established the Departments of Labor both here and in Washing­ ton. Tt has stood for tlio inher­ ent right of the laborer to orga­ nize and has protected that right by just laws in harmony with tlie advancing social thought of the time., It has written indelibly in- ^ the structure of our law the great principle that labor is hot a commodity. The party will con­ tinue to stand for these funda­ mental principles and for such legislation as will protect and promote the interests of the lab orer. Smoky Mountain National Pork The preservation of the natural and distinctive objects of beauty of a State should be one of the prime objects of its people. We commend the North Caro lina Park Commission in its ef­ forts to assist in the establish ment of a national park in North Carolina and thus in some mea sure to preserve a part of the State’s scenic beauty. The ef­ forts of the State should be fur­ ther everted toward making the Smoky Mountain' National Park an accomplishment. Endorsement of Senators and Re prescntatlvea in Congresw We endorse tho record of our Senators and Representatives in Congress and express our pride and gratification in the outstand­ ing part played by them in the passage of the recent tax reduc­ tion bill relieving the over-burd­ ened taxpayers of the country of $867,000,000 of taxes, not requir­ ed to meet the needs of the gov­ ernment. The Tariff We re-declare our firm faith in the time honored position of the Democratic party upon the tariff question in favor of a tax on com­ modities entering the customs houses that will promote effective competition, protect against mo­ nopoly and at the same time pro­ duce a fair revenue to support the government. The abundant benefits of this policy translated into law were strikingly evidenced under the Underwood-Simmons tariff act of the Woodrow Wilson administra­ tion.....Under the act, American lousiness flourished and unpreced­ ented prosperity, blessed our peo­ ple in every w’olk of life. Our export trade steadily explained and tKe products of American farms and factories found ready and profitable markets in every quarter of the world and under eveiV flasr.We.denounce and condemn the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act which was enacted by the Re­ publican administration to redeem that party’s secret campaign ob­ ligations to the great favor-seek­ ing interests that have so com­ pletely dominated the Gbvern- ment tiu'oughout tho Harding- Coolidge administrations. Thi.s iniquitous tariff act, in co-ordina- tion with trust combinations, en­ ables the beneficiaries of Repub­ lican legislation and administra­ tion to penalize the American con­ sumers without interference, maintaining at home abnormally higli prices on the products of trusts and.favored interests which Page Sevetfv dustrios, this should receive the fostering care of Government. The American farmer enjoyed his greatest period of prosperity under the just and beneficient measures of the Wilson admini­ stration., During those eight years the purchasing power of the farmers dollar averaged $1.04. With the coming of a Republican administration that value began to fall, has steadily decreased, and is now only 60 cents. Since 1921 the farm lands of America have decreased in value in an amount equal to the national debt. These conditions have resulted in such an increase of farm mort­ gages as to constitute a menace to the whole structure of our rural civilization. During those five years Repub­ lican administrations have made no effort to meet this national problem. They have been re­ sponsive to the demands of preda- i tory wealth and the favored few '^ but have been callously indiffer­ ent to the bitter distress of the farmer. Actional legi.siation and action must be had if the farmer is to bo given any adequate relief. It is the duty of the National Gov­ ernment to exorcise 'its every con­ stitutional powers to furnish aid in marketing the surplus of our staple crop.i Wo demand the action to tills end be taken by the Congress before it adjourns its present session. Federal Centralization We believe the powers not granted to the general govern- .^ ment by the constitution are re -ii served to the States. Our dual'j| form of government, founded by,| j our ftithers upon this principle H in order to secure, liberty must|l be maintained. States’ sovereig-ij nty. State’s rights, and the right fe of the State in the administration p of local affairs should be observ- |j ed. • !ji There are too many bureaus, H boards and commissions, sqme of 1' them dealing with, purely local matters. In Washington We have ■ an almost unlimited number of ad- || ministrative boards that seem to^g: be functioning as governments, ' i governments within governments, - those that are necessary have an almost' unlimited number of em­ ployees and are answerable to no one in particular and a.re main­ tained at an unnecessary and en­ ormous expense to the tax-payei‘a. Many of those boards and com­ missions can and should be abolished and tho control of tho life of our people more largely left to the States and communiti es. Conclusion For twenty-five years we have striven to servo the great peopio who have trusted us with the ad­ ministration of their public af­ fairs. Wo have kept the faith. .^We go on with the great task. We do not make our appeal for con­ tinued confidence upon empty pledges not expected to be re­ deemed, but upon the actual per­ formances of these frutiful years. In all confidence we submit this platform to a just people, con­ tent that it be appraised in the light of our parly’s record. We rejoice that in recent elec­ tions many members of the oppo­ site party have,joined us in the support of the. principles and poli-, des here'. enunciated. We wel­ come these and all other forward- looking men and women to the task, of promoting the social, eco­ nomic and material development of our State.

WIDER ROAD* ARE SAFETY SOLUTION As you drive over the narrow ribbon of paved highway such ns constitutes the bulk of our hard- surface roads, has it ever occur­ red to you thnt the average auto­ mobile driver must have a good sense of judging distances, good eyesight and steady nerves, to pass another car at high speed without more accidents than the large total recorded? So great is the danger of acci­ dents on narrow highways that engineers are .‘suggesting remedi­ es such as: “1, roads at least 18 feet wide, 20 if possible; 2, widen the dangerous ‘fottle necks’: 3, build by-pass roads through traffic, thereby relieving' congestion in the cities’ busy dis­ tricts; 4, construct permanent roads that lead immediately into the cities, at least 40 feet wide; 5, provide at intervals of not more than 300 feet, level parking plac-1 es entirely, off the main traveled roads.” Public opinion is aroused on the question of widening roads and thus making them'safer but it will take organized effort to secure remedies such as are sug­ gested. Western states are progressing rapidly with a program of widen­ ing highway pavements by build­ ing 2-ft. shoulders on each side of 16-ft, pavement and, in addi­ tion, putting 2 feet of' crushed rock, which virtually makes a 24-ft. hard-surface highway. Such construction produces a satisfactory road at a minimum of expense. SET IN L ^ T NOTCH The'production lever , of the Delco-Light Company, thé largest manufacturer of electric refrige­ rators in the world, has been set in the last notch. This lever governs the speed of a conveyor belt, upon which metal refrigerator cabinets are' built, as the assembly moves through the plant, which is a quarter of a mile long. Workmen and material are grouped nn either aide of the belt for the various operations in con­ struction of the refrigerator cabi­ net. By advancing the lever a notch, speeding up the conveyor and put­ ting on more workmen, produc­ tion is increased. Last January, when the new conveyor was in­ stalled, T. B. Fordham, works Manager said : “Now all we have to do to get more production is to pull that lever another notch.” Each successive week, as ord­ ers for Frigidarie electric refrige­ rators rolled in, the lever was ad­ vanced until last week, when it rested in the last notch nnd work­ men were stationed as closely as they could stand, the entire length of the plant. General Motors has arranged to supply the Delco-Light company with additional space to care for increased production, to be avail­ able January 1st, 1927. * BAXTER BYERLY, M. D. * _________ # FRIGIDAIRE ■ Dayton, Ohio, May 5.—Those who think there is no romance in business can find food for thought in the manner in which the Delco-Light Company, until a few years ago one of the smaller members of the General Motors family has advanced until it is recognized in the corporation’s report for the first quarter of 192G as having made one of the outstanding developments of the period. For eighth years the local s'ub- sidiary worked princiually tho, rural marke(:s, during which it I installed 250,ООО farm lighting and power plants. A few years ago it begnn quantity production of the Frigidaire electric refrige­ rator. Its retail sales for 1925 I were in excess of $40,000,000—a I jump of many millions over the preceding year. Sales for the first quarter of 1926 were two and ono fourth times as great as those for the same period of 1925. Two plans, covering‘ 82 acres, are being Avorked to capacity and General Motors has agreed to invest $100,- 000,000 of additional capital in their enlargement and further de­ velopment of this new market, if necessary. "These figures are at best a very inadequate index of the awakening of the country to tho advantages of electric refrigera­ tion,” declares E. G*. Biechler, president and general manager of the Delco-Light Company. "Our list price sales this year will go well past the $80,000,000 m ark- proof positive that electric re­ frigeration is the modern house­ hold’s need of the, hour.” "Whenever an electric refrige­ rator is installed, resultant sales Invariably follow. Housewives find in it relief from annoyance, dirt and spoiled foods. It cost no more to operate than the ice­ box, yet it affords a constantly cold and but slightly varying temperature in which all kinds of foods remain,fresh and delici­ ous." “Electric refrigeration is be­ coming one of the leading special­ ty businesses of the country and promises to approach in volume and usefulness the country's leading specialty—the automo­ bile.” FAITH IN H(j^S JUSTIFIED BY PROFIT * Office Over Dru» Store.

Snider of rural route one from Lexington on December 31, were sold in Salisbury on April 8 for a net profit above all feeding cost of $509.87. The pigs paid $1.98 per bushel for the corn fed them. "The 78 pigs weighed 4,351 pounds when they were placed on feed,” says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist. • “When they were sold on April 8, they weigh­ ed 14,C20 having gained 10,26!) pounda during the 98 days while oh full feed. They were sold for $13.25 per hundred pounds and the amount received for them was $1,937.15. All feeds were charg­ ed at market price including 589 bushels of corn at $1.00 per bush­ el. The profit was $569,87 above all feed cost and returned a valUe of $1.98 per bushel for the corn fed.” . This demonstration was put on through the efforts of County Agent ;C. A. Sheifield and amply justifies the faith of both Mr. Sheffield and Mr. Snider as to what the hogs would do. No charge was made for labor, stat­ es Mr. Shay, in reckoning the profit. Neither was account tak­ en for the fertilizing value of the feed amounting to $170,16 left on the farm in the form of manure, Mr. Shay states, however, that the profit of $569.87 was a daily wage of $5.81 to the owner for the time spent in caring for the pigs. He didn’t have to feed them as self-feeders were used. The profit per pig amounted to $7.31. Mr. Shay states that thirty cars of hogs have recently been fed and sold from demonstration-fed herds. All the work is being done under the supervision of the county agents and vocational teachers and according to plans promoted by the office of swine extension. .

P. Leon­ ard, of Statesville, secretary of the North Carolina Merchants’ as­ sociation, has protested against certain bills and voiced the sup­ port of his organization of oth­ ers. In a letter to Senator Sim­ mons today he said: “First—The bill prohibition the sending of pistols through tho niailfl. The state throws restric­ tion aroiind the sale of pistols through local dealers to such an extent that practically all pistols are secured through .mail-order houses, and there ta no record of their sale in the community in which they are received. Very few weapons are sold through local dealers. I hope you are giving this measure your support, and that pistols will be ruled out of the mail at their source. “Another measure involving ' mailorders which the merchants feel should be given favorable action is the bill prohibiting the Heading of uii.solicited mail ord­ ers, Many people who receive theso unsolocited packages thr- oiif'h tho mail arc undoubtedly frightened into '.the payment of the charges after receipt of the, goods, regardless of whether tho merchandise is actually needed or wanted. ‘‘There has developed in the country a new scheme for distri­ bution of merchandise through the sale_of coupons; known as the ‘Endless chain selling system.’ 'Pheso schemes are not only a species of lottery, but are also unethical and unsound and there should be legislation to suppress them. "Merchants naturally have a .somewhat selfish motive in oppos­ ing those various scnemes involv­ ing the distribution of merchan­ dise but their motives aro not al­ together selfish. The majority of merchants in our organization are ‘high class citizens,’ who are concerned not only because of the loss of business they su.stain from these schemes, but, are also con­ cerned ‘over the protection of the public from fraud, and "many of these schemes have elements of fraud,, ■ No one in any conimunity is more concerned over the gene­ ral welfare of the community than is the local merchant of that com­ munity, as youvwell know.” COOLEEMEE AND JERUSALEM BAPTIST CHURCHES F ork Commencement An Enjoyable Occasion Reminiscence Re’ative to Past Commencemehts—Fork a Pio­ neer St:hool village.—Fork Ac­ ademy and Former Principals —The 1926 Program—Mr. A.

The greatest event of a year in the Fork Church section is the commencement or school closing, an occasion that the people here and elsewhere look forward to with pleasant anticipation. These conimencQinents have been . held here ¡it the close of tho Spring term of school for many years, and are used as à “home coming” and reunion of relatives, friend.i and, former residents of this .sec­ tion. The Fork Academy of former days has disappeared, having been absolved by the sta^ free school system, but the iriemory and spirit of the older ^^days remain, ■ evidence of which crops out at ' least once a' year. When former friends land acquaintances, old sweethearts and school mate.s, can meet occasionally, talk, feast and faro w’ell for a day, there dress. Sufficient to say, it was a fine speech. Mr. Huneycutt, however, complimented the people of the township on the vote for school consolidation last year, and he admonished them to push ahead until the consolidation be­ comes an actuality. The young people were given hints and help­ ful advice for. their future bet- termentl Mr. Huneycutt touched upon the foremost questions of the present day. He came out flatly on this “fundamentalism- inodernism” business, expressing h/maelf as against the idea that man sprang from the monkey or ever walked about with a tail like an ape or roosted in the trees with the ow’ls. He also made it vei'y clear that he believes in the ,Pentateuch, the fir.st .five books of the Old Bible that “Moses wr6te.” , The writer believis, ,judging from his frank remarks, that Mr. Huneycutt believes the entire works from “lid to lid,” and in thia belief doubtless 99 PARKER DIES WHILE RIDING IN AUTOMOBILE On Way to Country Home When Stricken in Car, With Wife and Nurse in It.

D. Matthews, head of the de. pnrtmunt of hortioultui'e at State College gives the results with one orchard in Watauga county. Tiii.i orchard was taken as a demon­ stration in 1921. At that time it was yielding about 160 bushel« of fruit. By giving attention to pruning, spraying, fertiliisation, cultivation and thinning, the 1,. ООО trees were made to gradually ■ increase production until they .| were yieldinier from 2,600 to 3,Soo bushels of fruit each season. The total production for the four years ending with 1925 waa 9,850 bushels. The gross returns for the four years of proper manage­ ment was 112,312.50 reckoning the apples at 11.26 per bushel. The cost of operation during the зате period was |4,000 leaving a net profit for the modern, progressive methods of ¥8,812.50. An orchard of ten-year oljl trees In Avery county was pro­ ducing practically nothing when a program was begun In 1923 uiid followed for three years. Durinir the three years, the 4,000 trees yielded 14,100 bushels of fruit which sold for an average of $1..50 per bushel. This brought in ?21,r 050 and the cost of the manage, ment work wns $4,290 leaving ii net profit of $1(J,760. Theso results are outstanding, according to Prof. Matthews, hut similar e.xperiences wore had Ijy othor growers who hnve used bet­ tor methods. Yields of botii poaches and tipples have been in­ creased and the resulting profits enlarged In mnny old orchai’ds in western Carolina.

Home marketing is becoming an Important item In the economic life of the State according to the results reported by tho homo de­ monstration agents last year. Thu object of the pro,lect is to place money in tho pocket of the farm woman by disposal of surplus products of the country and ая the same timo to supply the peo­ ple of l:he towns with pure, freali food. , Seven different methods of marketing are being used. Theso include curb markets, incoino booths nt fairs, local exchanges, agents acting as medium between the producer and comsumer, stall markets, parcel post selling ami carlot shipments, Twenty-flve curb markets were in operation in the State last year. One of these nt Wilming­ ton is patronized by the women of three counties. In four other counties, office sale» are made by the home agent, ao .it may be said that there are 29 curb or bazaar markets. Thé sales at these mark­ ets amounted to |221,99в.7в. The markets are established ac­ cording to definite rules. Tho women's organization determines the need for one. Then cota- mittees reprèsenting the buyers and sellers are appointed to meet with the agent in locating a suit­ able (pltkce,»' A price committee is appointed and days of operation decided on. In most instances every community in a county takes part in the sales and constant im­ provement is made in the market­ able appearance and quality of the material offered for salé. From a social standpoint,' also, the market is having influence for good. DR, ANDERSON DENTIST Mocksville, N.

Whether you are among the mvrids who love and believe in ^hoBts and spectei;s, or among the ffl'iller number who have no time C ghosts; just the same, the l,n who told me the following n! rrative was a gentleman of in- iMrfitv: a man of truth and honor, nnVl have no reason .whatever 0 doubt his veracity. Hence, 1 l,ve chronicled his story with the virtue of truth being uppermost In mv mind. ■ , , Sibaid Plunkins had his abode in the county of Stanly and made his-livittB by plowing the sod and reaping the harvest from the «range. But Sibaid, good man ihnt he was, possessed one habit evil. He would drink too much corn liquor occasionally and loose L i sense of eqiiilibrium. His lov­ ing spouse whom he had mnrned to do the work about bis little iavm made frequent threats that she would leave him if M chd not cease from, the ways of evil and jay off the porn. Sibaid knew wo­ men and.so ,he reasoned that she was cnly sppofing. Yet, he would «0 months without so much as Uehing a drop and. then there would come a day When SibdUl would take on a load. ' Things continued thus until a diost stepped in and changed the whole panorama'of Sibaid s meag­ er life. But for the meddling of this ghost Sibaid maintains that he would have gone down to his trrave an ignoble drunkard. Sibaid and a friend had been opossum hunting one dai-k night. And after Sibaid had parted com­ pany with his friend he was walk­ ing toward his home as fast as he could go nnd just as he was passing nn old spring he heard someone call him. He thought of course, it Nvas his friend, so he retraced his steps to the spring. Just as he was approaching the Hpring a gliost jumped i^om b^ hind n large tree tn-abbecUiim bv the wrist. Poor Sibaid .shookwith fright and did not know what to do. Ho could only l^ k «tj;he Khost but that was all. The ghost appeared to bo about 8 ie«t tal with long black hair-that ieirn a mass over its face. The ¡»host wore a long black dress and made a p e c u li a r noise iis it \Valked. Little ringlets p f, snioke issued from the cvowri of its headland floated upward. The aroma fi-om this smoke was nothing less th.in that of- sulpher and brimstone. The ghost continued to lead bi- bald toward his home gripping his wviRt tighter and tighter. The grip of the ghost’ was cold as >ce and soon thero was no iec'‘«K the arm of Sibaid. He tried time and again to speak to the ghost but he could not utter a sound. So he continued to tramp,along by the side of the threatening '^'^When Sibaid and tbe ghost, were finally within a few yards of hi^s home where >vaited,his sulky su)- len spouse, ready to } f tuv« to a farewell .sfermon it she could, sniff any whiskey upon ghost stopped in his tviicks. Then the ghost entwliiod both his poN\- crfiil arms about Sibaid s che^t and nearly crushed his life out.. Then it started an inhuman noise, the smoke puffed ff^ster and thick­ er and blacker from the crown ol its head until finally a great flame of Are shot forth reaching to the sky. The ghost slowly released Sibaid and poked forth a forked tongue of white fire and licked up | the flame that had shot heaven­ ward .And as the ghost lapped up the flame of fire it slowly ascend­ ed into the clouds of the night. Sibaid hurried to his home as fast as he could and much to his surprise found his wife in bed and sound asleep. He tumbled in himself and said nothing about the ghost until morning. Of course Sibaid was unable to use his arm for several days, due to the grip of the ghost. But all of his friends advised him thnt the ghost was a sign and meant that he Avas going to die pretty Soon nnd that it was intended for a w-arning. If poor Sibaid failed to adhere to the awful warning, woe would be him. But he did not heed to the warning. He got qn a glorious drunk and remained so for three long days. ' Now Sibaid liked to hunt opos­ sum better thon most anything else. Then, too, this allowed him a’ little time in рёасе from his wife. His Avlfe was TcnoAvn to be "a case.” So Sibal'd just to show his friends a thing or two went on another opossum hunt. They were in a large pine for­ est and the moon failed to shine. The opaque darkness encircled them like an evil omen. The dogs treed a opossum and Sibaid and his two friends hurried thither. They reached them only to see ■that the tree up which the dogs were barking was standing about middle way of a grave. They were in the midst of an old grave yard or cemetery. Sibaid began chop­ ping the tree down. But, lo, and behold, before the tree was half down nn awful noise rent their ears! Sibaid ceased his chopping tlnd listened. Deep down in the grave many women were weeping their eyes out. They would say the poor little thing is dead now but they supposed lie was better off. Then someone started sawing lumber and driving nails. ‘ One man miss­ ed his’nnil and hit his finger and mich a spell of cursing you never heard. They made progress, how­ ever, and in a short time they heard people singing; a preacher praying and preaching and final­ ly shovel fulls of dirt falling upon a coftln in a grave. Sibal(l., \vas angry and he told hia two friends so,, but they wero too frightened to say anything so Sibaid snatched up his nx and continued cutting the tree. Final­ ly the big tree fell making nn awful noise. Every dog tucked his tail be­ tween his legs and/fell howling and bawling at the feet of their masters., And down the tree rode an pld ugly woman with a pitch­ fork in her hands. She rode a large cow with long horns ¡ and the COW' w’histled keen and clear .iust like a man. The ,old ugly wo­ man screamed long and loud nnd mnde a dash for Sibaid with her pitchfork but Sibald'.w'as not. Sibaid and his two friends made a hasty exit and came hear run»- ning themselves to death before they ceased to get breath and rest themselves. They made their es­ cape however, and Sibaid went home and declared to his wife that he was through drinking the.' corn. She remarked that it was time nnd advised that he join tho church before the devil got him sure enough. He said he would. But Sibaid kept thinking he would join the church, but just didn’t. Finally he was taken ill and the doctors told him that he could, never get well any ■ more and that he had better make his will and say his prayers. Sibaid sent for a preacher, a bunch of deacons, .;tc . . and had them to take him into the church. They did and just as the last words w’ere finished, poor Sibaid turned his face toward the wall and died an honorable man. Sibaid and the writer were good friends and he told me all about the ghosts before he was taken ill. Hence, I have only related Sibald’s story as he himself would have told you had he lived. And as I mentioned in the beginning, I have no reasons whatever to doubt the truth of these things for Sibaid was an upright man. TENDER VEGETABLES MAY NOW. BE PLANTED Raleigh, May 12.—Now' 'that settled,weather has come as evi­ denced by the full growfi leaves and abundance, of spr'iiig flowers,' the gardener may proceed in safe­ ty to plant nn abundance of tender vegetables. • • ' "Seeds of such warm season crops, as snap nnd lima - beans, okrn, sweet corn, cucumber, can­ taloupe, squash, pumpkin nhdwat' ermelon should be planted at.thiif time,’’ says E. B. Aiorrow, exten­ sion horticulturist at State Col­ lege. “The sweet potato' slips and plants of the tomato, pepper nnd eggplant can be transplanted from the seed bed. Some tomato seed might be sown in an outdoor bed to produce plants for a later crop.” Mr. Morrow states that of the cool season crops, the beets and carrots will still withstand the summer heat nnd inny bo planted if a succession of tender root;? is desired. Leafy vegetables like New Zealartd spinach, Swiss chard and parsley will supply greens and material for garnishing. Tho seed bed should be well prepared, however, cautions ,^Mr. Morrow. Good preparation is es­ sential at all times but in May a short dry. spell would mean dis­ aster to the tender seedlings if the ground has not been well pre­ pared. Constant harrowing and cultivation is :the best known me­ thod of keeping down weeds, mel­ lowing thè soil and conserving moisture.’ ,:' ' ■ ■ ' ' ■■■■ ■ , , Mr. Morrow states thnt a small plot w ell cared for will produce twice as much fresh vegetables as a large plot habitually neglect­ ed.---------------0 --------------- IN MEMORIAM M YY7HEN you use Stag W semi-paste, Paint, $2 spent for painting goes as far aa $3.

ROUTE NO. 75 A matter of extreme Importance to the citizenry of Dnvie County Is the questi.on of letting the con­ tract by tho State Highway Com- mlBflion for tho construction of Route number 75 from Lexington this project is being held up by ^tlie Commission owing to some Sort of controversy regarding the location of tho bridge to be built across the Yadkin River. ' Why can’t this matter be 'aet- tled by the parties 'interested therein, amicably and witlijout fur ther delay? There is too much bonefit to the .entiro'county invol­ ved in this question to permit its present status to remain ,unchang ed.. . , Page the Lions Club and our other civic organizations and let them roar their protests so lusti­ ly that the Highway: Commission will be awHkened to prompt''ac­ tion. ' plete auccess of hi.g efforts is very clearly reflected in thb bank’s statement issued under date’of May 8, 192G. According to this report the bank is in a highly- prosperous and flourish­ ing condition. ' ; It is understood that Mr. Holle­ man, liaving accomplished the purpose which he set out to ach­ ieve, namely ; to establish and build up a'sound, reputable bank­ ing house, now feels that he can entrust his duties tp other hands, well-trained, while he himself un­ dertakes to improve his personal fortune in an individual line of endeavor. He retires from the Bank to enter the real estate field and in this connection we wish him all the success that a clean, manly character and energetic spirit deserve. Mr. W. F. Caudell who succeeds Mr. Holloman aa cashier, is a young man of splendid personal qualities, who has made an excel­ lent record for himself and the bank in the capacity of trust offi­ cer. By training and experiences he is eminently quálifled to take over the work of the bank and to carry it on to the complete satis­ faction of the directors and pat­ rons. While condoning with,the bank the loss of Mr. Hollcman's services, we yet congratulate the directors on being able to retain the services of Mr. Caudell under whoso management, we are quite confident, the interests of the bank will continue to grow and prosper.

Those who have prote.sted against the selection of the Oakes Ferry site instead of Fulton Ferry, the present cross- had represeritation before the Commission. It appears now that a concerted efTort is , being made by some of the supporters of the Pulton Fer­ ry site to have'tho Highway Com­ mission delay indefinitely the building of a bridge unless it is put at that place. This view is reported to have received some support from official sources in Davie county, as \yell as from some citizens of that county who have been fighting for the Fulton Fen-y site. - Figures on the recent survey of the latter site are said to have shown that it would' cost some­ what more than the lower site, and the road between the Myers place, west of Reeds, and Fork,- where, the , proposed routes con­ verge, ia -somewhat longer than by Oakes Ferry. However, it is claimed the diiference in distance is not great. Two small streams beside the Yadkin would have to be bridged/on the upper route. Offsetting these .disadvantages, proponents of Fulton Ferry con­ tend that the road that way, as at present, serves many more people in both counties than it would if routed by Oakes Ferry. Davidspn county last . year agreed to lend the Commission $100,000 as its part of the cost of the bridge. The local board was given to understand at that time that Davie’s portion would be provided, either by a,loan from the county or from State highway funds accuring to that county. However, no information of the actual availability of such funds has been given the Davidson au­ thorities. And while the loan from this county stands author­ ized there has not yet come a request from the State Highway Commission to make the ijioney available.

Captain Boregard fras 31 then and now, at 92 and not quite so erect but with a certain military bearing, nevertheless, the captain sits most of the day in a swiyel chair in his tihy notary office, He is the only if not one of the tfew survivors of the . score or more officers and meni.who. wit nessed Lee’s formal capitulation “General Lee, accompanied ;by an adjutant and two. ordetliies, rodo into the yard," recalls the captain., "One of the..orderjie* jumped from his horae and .hislc the bridle of Lee’s liaount . while the Conferedate .chieftain dia mounted. ‘■Lee walked toward , Grant’s quarters. His six-foot figure was straight and trim. . . "General Grant at once emerg­ ed and advanced to meet his erst­ while adversary. Both, saluted, then shook haiids cordially. Grant was dressed in his field service uniform, but little different from that of the common soldier. "A table and two chairs had been placed beneath a tree, and there, with a group of unioti of­ ficers standing about, the formali­ ties of surrender were executed.” Captain Boregard was born Sept. 19, 1834 in Jackson county, Virginia, which later became a part of, the new .state of WesI Virginia. His sympathies .were with the north and ho served throughout the war in Sheridan’s cavalry. in To tho Mocksville Enterprise: Dear Editor: Please, allow me space your paper, to express my views on the present issues and es­ pecially in regard to the whiskey rangle over the country. . Let me say right here that the line is drawn and eVery man and woman is forced to take the stand either for or against whiskey, and before one should decide he should find out who his associates would be, so we will divide them as follows: The whiskey drinker, altho he may be a moderate drinker has as his aiso^iates and close friends all blockaders and bootleggers and drunkards and tiie low type of women, for all theae are twin brothers and sisters. While on per thing to look nfter this bUnch a wliile and let tho bootlegger have'a little rest, j-es if we can got tho drinke'r the bootlegger will go out of business. Again I think that the blockad- er and the bootlegger are really superior to the drinker anyway and for that reason if no other we would be justified in taking this step. The whiskey element is getting very bold and their oi’.iy, hopes are in getting as many wet men in ofllce as possible and you will see more whiskey men nominated this fall than you have ever seen be­ fore, so let us, as true men and women, show them the hand writ­ ing on the wall and after the warning should any wet be nomi­ nated let us forget party politics and beat him at the poles—Can we count on you.—D.

Some man—who­ ever you may be—remember the bootlegger has a very poor opini­ on of you when he hands over the goods, but of tho two the bootleg­ ger is the best. I think that we have made a mistake in putting our attention a most enjoyable commencement program as well us a''very suc­ cessful school year.

It affects every county and even reaches each farm in the remote sections. This feature contributing to the State’s prog­ ress was begun as a war measure and has gradually grown until at present it offers an ideal basis for aiding the farmers, through several oducationnl agencies ^in tho State. This is the State farm census collected through the tax listers each summer and sum­ marized by the department of agriculture. Some regard this census as probably better and more practi­ cal than the United States cens­ us, which is taken at five and ten- year intervals. Then, too, the re­ sults are more usable and current by coming out in printed county units a few months after collec­ tion and before the next year’s crops are. planted', 'fhus it of­ fers basic information to safe­ guard the next crop acreages, and is available at a time when pri­ vate concerns cannot take undue advantage of the farmers’ prev­ ious or future crop information. Further valuable county usage is under way. This State census was begun in 1918 on a volufttary bnsis. It was made a law in 1921, Today it is rdgarded as the best basic source of farm information being collected. At flrst farmers feared that it would ruin them and raise their taxes. They know better now. 'ihe county farm agents are today using it to aid in iinding excess products of livestock, crops truck and fruit. This informa­ tion aids them in selling the sur­ plus crops and offers « basis for safer diversification and better selling of products. Agricultural economics is the newest and best basis for apply­ ing business methods to farming. No profession has any more haz­ ardous means of gaining results and profits than has farming. Modern business requires a know- dential records go into special books and are sent directly to the commissioner of dgricuiture at Raleigh. They ore not public re­ cords.

[t ivas in generar use among ¡hristians before A. D. 300, and ^ as always been riccepted by all vfJhristian cjiurches.) Articles of Rei'jgion , (“The Articles of Religion" which follow represent the doc­ trinal' agreement of the Metho­ dist: Protestant churcb with oth-' ex Methodists and' with other- 'Protestants in these twenty-eight ,,statements., They are not intend­ ed to set'forth the entire doctrl- •narteacliing of this church, but Ihelr great object, is to show our cómnuinion, with the Protestant world. " These “Ar,tides” were .first ..drawn up by Luther and his as­ sociate, Melanothon, in the great controversy with the Roman Cath- .olic church in the year, 1580, and •were'known 'as the "Augsburg Confession," because they were preaehted to a convention of pro- tèst'ànts assembled in that city. In’the year 1552 an ecclesiastical commission in England,, modified •them .into what are.known as the TJlirty-riine Articles of thè church ■of England. In the year 1784 John Wesley still further revised them, omitting fourteen and modi- ■fÿing the remainder into Twenty- .five Articles for the Use of Metho-' dists in America. The Methodist .'Protestant, church, having no con­ troversy with other Methodists in •niatters of religious belief, ac­ cepted these articles at the begin­ ning, and with a few minor chang­ es they .have beeri retained.) I, Of Faith in the Holy Trinity There ig'but one living and,true God, everlasting, of infinite power, -wisdom and goodness, the maker and preserver of all things, visible and invisible. And in unity of this Godhead, there are three per-, sons of one substance, power and eternity ; the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. II.' Of the Word, or the Son of God, Who was Made Very Man The Son, who is ,the Word of the Father, the very and eternal God, of one substance with the :'FatheiVtook man’s nature so that two whole and perfect .natures, that is to say, the Godhead and mahhoor,':Tj',ere joined together in One person, never to bo divided, wliereof is one Christ, very God nnd very nian, whò tvüly suffered. a sacrifice, not only for original guilt, but also for actual sins of men. III. Of the Resurrection of Christ Christ did truly rise again from the dead, and took again,his body, with all things njpertaining to the perfection of man’s nature, wherewith He ascended into heav­ en, and there sitteth until he re­ turn to judge all nien at the last day. IV. Of the Holy Ghost The Holy Ghost, proceeding from the Father and the Son, is of one substance, majesty nnd glory with the Father nnd the Son, very and eternal God. V. The Sufficiency of (he Holy Scriptujres for Salvation The Holy Scriptures contain all things necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is not read there­ in, nor may be proved thereby, is not to be required of any hian that it should be believed as nn article of faith, - or be thought requisite or necessary to salva­ tion. In , the name of the Holy Scriptures, we do understand those canonical books of the Old and New Testament, of whose au­ thority was never any doubt'in the church. The nnmes of the canonical books are: Genesis, Exodus, Le­ viticus, Numbers, Deutheronomy, Jo.shua, Judges, Ruth, the First Book of Samuel, the Second Book of Samuel, the First Book of Kings, the Second Book of Kings, the First Book of Chronicles, the Second Book of Chronicles, the Book of Ezra, the Book of Nehe- miah, the Book of Esther, tho Book of Job, the Psalms, the Pro­ verbs, Ecclesiastes (or the preach­ er), Cantica (or Song of Solomon) Four Prophets the Greater, Twelve Prophets the Less; all the Books of the New Testament, as they nre commonly received, we do receive nnd nccount canonical. VI. Of the Old Testament The Old Testament is not con­ trary to the New; for in both the Old and New Testament everlast- in'g liiß is olTcrert to mankind by Dh “ ■ avub: crucified, dead, ;and buiieu, щцс1\\пз ;they are bound to Christ; who is tho only. Mediator between God and man, being, both God arid man. Wherefore thoy are not to be heard who feign that tho old fathers did look bnly for-’ transitory v'promisos., Alth- ouith the law given from ' God b.v Moses ns touching ceremonies arid rites doth not bind Christians, nor ought-the civil precepts there­ of of iiecessity be received in any commonwealth,’ yet notwlthstand-' ing, so Christian whntsoever is free from, obedience oi the-com-^ mnndments which, are called mor­ al. VIL Of Original Sin Original sin is the corruption of the nnture of every man thnt nnturnlly is engendered ' of the oflispring of Adam, whereby man is very far gone from original righteousness, arid oi his own na­ ture inclined to evil, and that continually. ’ •. VIII. Of Free Will The condition of ninn after the fall of Adahi is such that ho can­ not „turn and prepare himself, by his own natural ^strength and works, to faith and calling upon :Gbd; wherefore, we have no pow­ er to do good works, pleasant and acceptable to God, without the grace of Ged by Christ enabling us, that we may have a good will, and working with us, when we have that good will. XI. Of Justification We are accounted righteous be­ fore God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Chi'ist, by faith, and not for our own works or deservings. 'VVherP- fore, that we aro justified by faith only is a most wholesome doc­ trine, and very full of' conrfori:, X. Of Sanctification Sanctification is that,renewal of our fallen nature by tho Holy Ghost; received thr.ough faith in Jesus Christ, whose blood of at­ onement cleanseth from all sin;, whereby we are not only deliver- ,ed from the guilt of sin. But are washed from its pollution, saved from its power, and are enabled, through grace, to love God with all our hearts and to walk iii his holy, commandments blameless. XI.'Of Good Works Although good works, which are the fruits of faith and follow after justification, cannot put away our sins, and endure the severity of God’s judgements; yet they nre pleasing and acceptable to G’od in Christ, and spring out of a true and lively faith, inso­ much that by them a lively faith may be as evidently known as a tree is discerned by its fruit. XII. Of Works of Supercjvogation Voluntary works, besides, over and above God’s commandments, which are cnlled works of super- ergoration, cannot be taught with- oiit arrogancy and impiety, for by •ЦlGm men do declare thnt they do riot only render unto God,as i.1___________I ...................... “' i i .^ .1^ pardonable. Wherefore the ¿rant of repentance is not to be tienied to such as fall into sin after justi­ fication. After we have received the Holy Ghost, we may depart from grnce given, nnd fnll into sun, nnd by the grace of God rise again and amend our lives. And therefore they are to be condemn­ ed w’ho say they cnn no more sin as long ns they live here; or deny the plnce of forgiveness to such as truly repent. XIV. Of the Church The visible Church of Christ' is a congregation of faithful men, in which the pure Word of God is preached, and the ordinances duly administpred according to Christ’s command in all those things that of necessity are re­ quisite to the same. XV. Of Purgatory The Romish' doctrine concern­ ing purgatory, pardon, worship­ ing and adoration, ns well of im­ ages, ns of relics, and also invo­ cation of snints, is n fond thing life. mine the issue of undue prefor- XXIIi. Of the General Judgm en t, ence as between the gateway There will be a General Judg­ ment at the end of the world, when God will judge all roen by Jesus Christ, and receive the righteous unto his heavenly king­ dom, where they shall be forever secure and happ.v; and adjudge the wicked to everlasting punish­ ment suited to the demerit of their sins. XXIV. Of the Marriage of Minist­ ers The ministers of Christ are not conimanded by God’s law either to vow the state of single life/ or to abstain from marriage; there­ fore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christians, to marry at their own discretion, ns they shall judge the same to serve best to godliness. XXVI. Of the Hites and Ceremoni­ es of Churches It is not necessary that rites and ceremonies should in all plac­ es be the same, or exactly alike; for they have been always differ­ ent, and may be changed accord­ ing to the diversity of countries, times and men’s manners, so that nothing be ordained against God’s Word. Whosoever, througyi his private judgment, wllingly and purposely doth openly break the rites and ceremonies of the chur- , ch to which he belongs, which are vainly invented and grounded up- * not repugnant to the Word of God, on no warrant of Scripture, but and are ordained and approved repugnant to tho Word of God. XVI. Of Speaking in the Congli-e- gation in Such a Tongue ns the People upclerstand It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the cu.s- tom of the primitive church, to have the public prayer in the church, or to minister the ordin­ ances, in a tongue not understood by the people. XVII. Of (he OrtUnancra Ordinances of Christ ar'e not only badges or tokens of Christian men’s profession; but rather they are. certain signs of grace and God’s ,good-will towards us, by which he doth work invisibly in us, nnd doth not only quicken, but also strengthen and confirm our faith in him. ■ ‘ i There are two ordinances of ChrisV our Lord in the Gospel; that is,,to say, 'Baptism'and the Supper'V the Lord. ; XVIII. Of Baptism : by common authority, ought to be rebuked openly (that others may fear to do the like), as one that oifendeth against the common order of the church, and wounde- th the consciences of weak breth­ ren. XXVI. Of the Rulers of the Unit- (ed States of America The President, the Congress, the General Assemblies, the Gov­ ernors and the Councils of State, as the delegates of th» people, are the rulers of the United Stat­ es of'America, according to tho division of power made to them by tho Constitution of the United States, and by the Constitution of th'eir re.spective-States. Arid tho said States arc a soverign nnd independent nation. XXVII. Of Christian Men’s Goods The riche's and goods of Chris­ tians nre not common ns touch­ ing the'.right, title, and posses­ sion of the same, as sonie do fnlso- first. .. We have teachers in the school,I of many communities of oui\st!,t!| who nre a' credit to theinsiiiv^l and to their profession; teacher.I who nre,truly professionals, wul put their work above nny incoi,.| veniences, Inrge or small, t)„['| mny oppose them. Our teacl\erj| are sincere and thoughtful, siu.l cere in their ideas and ideals, ninil thoughtful of their duty to theirj work, the children under thetnj and the community in which theJ live. But we do not want to put I good teachers first in our piatjl of education. -1 • We hnve parents sending child.I ren to school, parents who nre I honest and sincere in their dn.l sire that their children have thei best advantagea which cnn hel given them, parents who realize I that their children are human and! that teachers are human, and that! it is just as natural for thelrl children to get into trouble as I it is for the children of other I people. We have some parents I who are human, but let us not I place good parents first, in our| place of education. No, the greatest part of our I educational structure is the iii.l ench five mile block from 75 to ' dividual child. It is for the chilli 100 miles, 1.5 cents; for each .10 j thnt we have good buildings, thatl mile block from 100 to 150 miles, we have good equipment, that wel 8 cents; for each 10 mile block employ the best teachers we cnn,[ from 150 to 240 miles, 2 cents; for , thnt we havo nnd npprecintel each 20 mile block from 240 to j worthwhile parents. For wliorel '360 miles, 4 cents; for each 20 j would our fine buildings and thosel mile block from BrO to dOO miles ; other things go without the childl 3 cents; nnd for each 25- mile to use them? These things nrel important, yes, but only so furl as they contribute to the gloi'ifi-r cation of the American child; fori points and southern border ter­ ritory. , “The action which we shall now take,” the commission “reported, will in many cases improve the situation in southern border ter­ ritory, although it mny not efr feet a complete cure." The new scale ior the southern territory alone as compared with the scale originally prescribed, in­ creased slightly the rates for dis­ tances up to 35 miles, and re­ duced those for distances from 41 to 340 miles. "Such loss, in revenue as mny be involved in these reductions, the commission said, “will in some measure be offset by the increases in the rates for the shortest hauls, nnd also by the change in thè method of com­ puting distances for thè applica­ tion of the scale and the other minor modifications of our find­ ings.” The new southern scale starts with 33.5 cents a hundred pounds for five miles and less, and its progression is as follows; For each five mile block from five to 75 miles, inclusive, 2.5 cents; for block thereafter, 3 cents. The drop is the rate of progres­ sion at 75 miles is 40 per cent; at 150 miles, 33 13 per cent; at ■ tTirough these methods nre we| 860 miles, 25 per cent, arid at 800 miles 20 per cent.

Where­ fore, the sacrifice of masses in which it is commonly said that the' priest doth offer Christ for the quick and the dead, to have' reniission of pain or guilt, is a blasphemous fable, and danger­ ous deceit, XXII. Of the Resurrection of.the Dead There will be a general resur­ rection oC the dead, both of the just and the unjust, at which time tho souls and bodies of men will be reunited, to recè.ivo t^o- gether a just retribution for.the deeds'done ill the üody in this and those who enter the ministry thereof thereby ■ avow their ac­ ceptance of the teachings thus formulated; and good faith to- wnrds the church ■ forbids nny teaching on their part which.is at variance with them. . . WOULD MOdTf Y FREIGHT RATES Washington, May 6.—After a second investigation, the inter­ state commerce commission today jirescribed a modified scale ' of “mavimurii reasonable”' class rat­ es on freight' in the soiith and between that territory and points east of the Mississippi i\nd north of the Ohio rivers. The Immission set aside a pre­ vious order revising the class rat­ es in these territories, but, as in the case of its original investi­ gation, it deferred entering an order requiring establishment of the new rates 'pending advice from the railroads whether the changes are acceptable. They were given 20 days in which to reply. The most important changes which involve both increases and reductions, were made in the in­ terterritorial rates, the commis­ sion prescribing maximum reaso­ nable rates 'in place of the scale based on the lov/est combination rate. The present rate is a com­ bination, of a local class rate in the north on traffic to or from a gateway between the north and south, with the differential class rate applicable in southern ter­ ritory. , , The ' entire iiiter-territorlal ad^ justment, howevev, was kept open pending the outcoiuo of the east­ ern class rate investigation nind no ftttopipt was'made to detor- From Tho Cooleemee Journal. Next Wednesday night the school year of 1925-1926 will be brought to n close when the di­ plomas will be awarded the high school graduntes of this year. , On Monday night. May 17, an operetta is Ih'j Madcaps. The •same night a North Garolinn his­ tory pageant will be presented by the pupils of the sixtlv and seven­ th grades. From che day of Sir .Walter Riileigh and the Lost Col­ ony of Roanoke to the present will the leaves of history bo turned. Tuesday night the high school play will bo presented. This play,' Nothing but the Truth, is one of the most popular plays of recent yearsj-having-successfully run-a- long time in New York and other cities. Can you teir the absolute ti'uth for twenty-four hours? Nothing but the,Truth will show how, easy—or difficult—it is to tell the truth for any length of time. Wednesday night the graduat­ ing address will be delivered by Profegs^or B. G. Childs, of tho Department of Education, of Duke University. 'Prof. Childs'has the reputation. of being a very in­ teresting' talker. -Besides the ad­ dress the certificates of promotion to the .high school and the high school diplomas will be-awarded. Also other awards will be read. '.Each program at Commence­ ment will start at eight o'clock. The story of the operetta is : a story'-about the trial of Boreas, Old Sol, Master Painter and Jack Frost for alleged cruelties per­ petrated upon mortals during the four seasons. During the absence from earth of Spring/Summer, Autumn, and Winter, who have gone to plead the case of Mortals before the Goddess of the Seasons, great con­ fusion reigns, but everything is amicable settled by the, return of the Seasons to earth with a bet­ ter appreci-ition of nature’s good­ ness and blessings. EDUCATION AND THE CHILD From The Cooleemee Journal. Educational theory has many aiigles of approach, but they all point to the one educational'truth of the most important element in education,—the child. Have you ever thought for yourself as to education? Have you ever asked yourself the question: Just what is the most important element in the public school? Examine your deepest thoughts and you will find that the answer comes thundering back to you from ev­ ery receSs of memory and your brain.

Recently that city served notice that ]ay walking in Asheville must cease. A jay walker was arrested last Tuesday, tried, found guilty and fined $18.9b. 'i’hrtt’s'fine. There*,are two classes of traffic law violators who ought to be put out of business^ These are the reckless fellow who turns street corners at a teckless rate of speed, disregarding all other people, walking or riding. He is a dangerous •’Person. The other is aboilt as big a nuisancé. Hé is the fellow who w;*lks/across the streets with that degree of care­ lessness which one might expect of a man iieenng he was, the oiily person who had a right to use the streets for walking or rldfng. He is the jay walksr. He seems to take a delight In'forcing auto drivers to slow down, or stop, in order to keep t'ropi , killing him. AVhere the organizers of tho Coriimittèe of One Hundred made a serious error was in allowing a few determined modernists posing as anti-evoiutionists to enter their meeting and start trouble. ThOse men who started that trouble knew full well that they had no busi­ ness in that metrting. “Now there was a dnytwhen the sons of Gbd came Vto present themselves before the Lord, and SATAN CAME ALSO AMONG THEM.” Get the Idea? I We make this statemsnt intending.it to convey its full meaning and without apology.

Walker, i THE NEW AND BETTER TEXACO GASOLINE After years of research and experiment, The Texas Company an­ nounces a NEW AND BETTER GASOLINE. It has been made possible in commercial quantities throusrh the HolmeS'Manley Process, a patented method of refining, owned and controlled by The Texas Company. The new produc t is not a mixture with benzol, or with any other' product or chemicals. IT CONTAINS NO DOPES OR POISONS. It is a PURE unadulterated gasoline produced from selected crude oil. WHY THE NEW TEXACO GASOLINE IS BETTER. IT IS UNiFO^M IN QUALITY. IT VAPORIZES WHERE OTHER GASOLINES ONLY ATOMIZE. * • , IT IS A DRY GASOLINE II^ST^AD OF A WET GAS. IT COMBINES THE DESIRABLE QUALITIES OF ALL GAS­ OLINES IN ONE. WHAT THE NEW AND BETTER TEXACO GASOLINE DOES. In various parts of "the country "special” or pfremium goaolines are sold— f "hl^h test,” for instance, to give easy starting—“benzol blends” to reduce knocking—"commercial gas” to produce more power. Note that each of these fuels is a special preparation for a spe(;iai purpose. Not until the advent of the NEW and BETTER TEXACO GASOLINE, made po^siblie by the HOLMES-MANLEY PROCESS, has there been a gasoline with all these desirable qualities in one.

IT GIVES YOU RELIEF FROM CARBON OR SPARK KNOCK. Because it has anti-knock qualities and smooth combustion characteristics tempered to engine needs. 5. IT GIVES YOU BETTER LUBRICATION. Gasolines with heavy ends do not vaporize and burn completely. They dilute the crankcaa^ oil because the liquid gasoline cuts the ojl film and seeps past the piston rings. . The New TEXACO GASOLINE leaves no heavy ends. It forms a DRY GAS. It burns completely. It dw°s not flood the cylinders. All this means less crankcase dilution, HENCE BETTER LUBRICATION.

Raleigh, l\Iay 19.—The success or failur^e of a crop is often de­ termined by the preparation ' of the seed bed and the early culti­ vation. The beginning of proper cultivation is in the careful pre­ paration of the seed bed because it is hardly possible to get the. soil in proper condition after the seed have been planted. “Three things,are necessary for the germination and growth of all seed,” says C..R. Hudson of the farm demonstration division at State College. "These are moisture,’air and suflilcient warm­ th. The first two are secured through good preparation of the seed bed svhile the warmth may be influenced by the same pro­ cess. If the soil^has been jgrad- ually deepened year after year by careful plowing, breaking the land should always be followed by harrowing or disking given, if possible, within 24 hours after the plowing. Then the soil needs to settle so that the seed bed be hard aher which another harrow­ ing is given to re-establish the mulch.” ( Cultivation after the seed are planted is not only tq keep down weeds and grass which would take up the” moisture and plant food and shade the crop, but, also to keep thè top soil open, tb<make more plant food available and to give help in warmingithe soil. The time to kill weeds and grass, ac­ cording to Mr. Hudson, is soon after rains when the seed im'e germiniiting or just coming thr­ ough thé soil. Any kind of stir­ ring at this time-destroys them. Weeds are more difliicult to eradic­ ate after they have grown'an inch or two above-.the soil. Mr. Hud­ son urges the use of the weeder or harrow immediately after rains as one of the most effectual and economical cultivations that may be given. Maintaining the soil mulch is one of the important things dur­ ing the summer. If the soil crust is kept loose, very kittle other cultivation is needed. After operating for ten months on $8,606,803.16 the State of North Carolina is nearing,the:end of its fiacal year with bright pros­ pects of living Aveil within the budget and with a neat nest egg of- a cash balance 'on hand to start the new fiscal year right. The appropriations allotments total $10,712,265 for the fiscal year. Unexpended balance of budget allotments totals $2,105,451.97 which means that for the next two months- the state cdn spend il million dollars a month and still break even with the budget and way ahead of the original appropriations which were slash- ed’ oy the budget bureau. Collections of taxes have been,' good, and it is a virtual Certainty that they will be sufllcierit to take care of the allotm,ents. If expenditures run for the last two,, months as they have for the first ten, there will be a cash bal­ ance of approximately one-quar­ ter million dollars in, the State Treasury at the end of the year. INFERTILE EGG BEST FOR SUMMER TRADE FREEDOM Carolina Indep'endent. There are many angles from which this subject can bo ,dis- cussed but we will treat if irom the angle of freed.om in our piiblic, schools and in education in gene­ ral. , The students and leaders in va­ rious educational institutions are crying now for unlimited free­ dom in educational fields that there may be no hampering of truth. It is all about the question of whether man evolved to his present status or whether he w^a created in the image of God and has degenerated to his present state. The truth, of the whole situa­ tion is that there Is no effort on the part of those who believe in creation; to hamper truth. They aré crying put for freedom also. Thé kind' they ; desire, is that which will make men and women really free to search for ultimate truth. , . ' . They protef?t the teaching of a theory aa a fact and especially one that is as theoretical as the questiôn that is agitating , the mind of the world today. This is the thing that men want to believe and therefore is more ac­ ceptable to humanity than real truth and if given the weight of being an eatabliahed fact by aome of the greateat minds when ii .is but a theory, will prevent the ar­ riving at the ultimate. This will be the result because men .are seeking the line of least resis­ tance which is natural and that carries the minimum penalty for violation of jthe truth. ■ What those who believe in cre­ ation desire , as we understand them, is that eyerything that is a truth be taught and that that is theory only, be branded as the­ ory and taught as such. Raleigh,. May 19.— Summer heat has the.same effect on fer­ tile eggs as the' setting hen or incubator. The germ, in hot We’ather, will quickly develop a' blood ring which spoils the ^egg, for food and market purposes. "Fresh eggs for table use should be infertile,” says Allen G. Oliver, poultry extension spe-' cialist at State College. “Those who keep poultry should either sell, kill or confine the male birds as soon as the hatching season is over. Those males which are good enough for breeding purpos­ es should-not run with the hens all the year around.- By this method, the males will produce stronger germed eggs that in turn will produce stronger chicks.” / Mr. Oliver states that if the hen is properly fetl, if the nests are clean, the eggs gathered twiccS daily, stored ih a cool, dry place and delivered to the consumer prime condition, the consumer will be willing to pay the highest market price, Bu*. if the roo|ker is allowed to run with the flock after hatching season, if the hens are n’ot properly and regularjy fed, if the neats are dirty arid crowded and the egg's are gather­ ed every few days and stored in a warm plnce before delivery some days later, the consumer wants a gas mask when the food comea to him at 'the table. Bad eggs are certainly prevent­ able, according to Mr. Oliver. As a first step in this direction, he urges the removal of the roost er from the flock and,then better caro and handling of the eggs until they are. sold. The poultry- man should also begin to look for mites and lice during the hot weather and take steps to contro these pests.

I The short course will be held a.s a part of the Summer school and each organized county will be allowéd to send 10 boys and 10 girls,' These younif folks will be selected from among the leaders in club work by the home and farm agents of the extension ser­ vice aiul wi|l be given a week of intensive training while at the College, According to L, ,R. Harrili, club leader, the lorgauized clubs aro now endeavoring to raise money for sending their representatives. The total expenses of the course for each member while at College will be $7,50, This >is a blanket charge which covers all expenses for boardi.room rent and the cost of materials and supplies' used ■ in Iabbratory or demonstration work, Mr, Harrili states that the rail­ roads have oflered a round trip rate of one and one-half fare on the certiflcate plan and those members who intend to, come by rail can aecure the certificates irom Mr. Harrili. The piresent enrollment of club members In the State ia about 4,- 000. 'These membera 'are in or­ ganized clubs and are studying specific problems. Instruction is heing given by the home and farm agents and by the club leadera who have attended former shorti courses, at the college. Mr. Harrili states that many of the clubs have already secured sufficient funds to send their re­ presentatives and others are\hard at work now on this project. EARLINESS IS FACTOR IN SECOND APPLICATION , Raleigh, Jlay 19.—Experiments show that, to, get the best results ft'om a second application of fer­ tilizers to cotton and corn, the appljcatioh m'ust be put on early. “Our testa, .show that a bigger increase in yiel^ is made when t|ie nitvate-of-sdda is applied to corn when it is from-one foot to two ieei; in height ratUer than to corn which is bunching-±0 tassel," E, Cl Blair, 'extension 'agrononiist at State Cbllege.-^ Immediately aftet the crop has been thinned or chopped out. This practice will nearly always re­ sult in more seed, cotton being produced per acre. Bigger yields are secured in making the apt)ll- cation right after chopping than when tho Same amount of nitro­ gen is applied w'nen the cotton plant is putting on squares or is blooming. A part of this differ­ ence is diie to the fact that a late application of nitrogen will' tend to make the crop mature late.” Mr.^ Blair states that on very sandy soils, it might be be.st to divide tho nitrogen application and ajiply part at planting and the other part as a aide applica-- tioii. However, he thinks that there is no reason wiiy all the phosphoric acid and potash should not be applied before planting the crop-. Fpr that reason,' he reqpmmends the/ second applica­ tion to consist of nitrogen cai'- riers Ijke nitrate of soda, sulph­ ate of ammonia or soine other quickly available ammonlate. Where too little phosphate and potash has been used originally, more -may- be appilied 'with the side application of nitrogen. STATE INCOM?

Raleigh, Mai^ 19,—Numerous in­ quiries are received by the ex­ tension division of State College about the best whitewash to use for the hen house or other out­ buildings, The reqii’ests are par­ ticularly, numerous during the early spring and summer. The ^ following directions used with ] success in another state may give an effective whitewash for use in North Carolina: “Sliick a half bu,shel of quiòk- lime ór lump I hue with boiling .water, keeping it covered during the process. Strain this and add a peck of salt dissolved in warm water, three pounds of ground rice boiled in water until it is a thin paste, a half pound of Span­ ish whiting and a pound of clear blue dissolved in warm water, Mi.x .these together well and let thè mixture stand for several d^ys. Heat it and^ apply as quickly as possibl" with the whitewash brush, , ,, “Alum added to whitewash will make it stick betiter.: Use an>. oiince to a gallon.' Molasses mak­ es the lime more soluble and mak­ es it pentrate the wood or plaster more ' deeply^ ' Use a pint of mo­ lasses to a gallon of whitewash. À pound of cheap bar soap dis-' solved in a^gallon of boiling wat­ er and added to five gallons of thick whitewash' will impart a- gloss like that of oil paint.” WOMAN WHO I e LL 10 STORIES YESTERDAY IS EXPECTED TO RECOVER Charlotte, May 14.—Mrs. A.

Small, portable yard mnde of foot-wide .boards about ten or twelve feet in length should be held up by stakes, thus making it:impossible for the little poults to'get out of this enclosure.' ThiS; will allow the old turkey hen to', do that, for the word was an easy one for her. The same sort of tempornry confusion must hnve been responsible for other drop- pings-out, for it is n singular fact that most of thofle who failed, lost out on the easiest words— words of most common use. As a general thing, they got by the “ables” and the ibleV’—tho most provoking of spellers traps —with considerable degree of success. Every speller in the lot, for example, could easily reel off at'home such words as “excellent” and "succeed," for they use words of this kind every day and in­ corporate them in every letter they write—but it seems to be n different thing in the spelling bee, with so many people looking on and listening-in.

Here is what the Palm Beach, Fla., Times says: ' In all the splendid renaissance of the South today there are two southern states which stand forth as the first nnd foremost flowers of this rebirth. And in the case of ea'ch of them the secret of their mighty , success is the coupling of good government and good roads and good people with natural blessings.of climate and resource. This is the tie that binds Florida and North Carolina today in mutual help and admiration and understanding. Floridians have beep told of many beautiful places to spend the summer but the great majority of those who are persuaded to spend it anywhere else than in their own comfortable summer climate nre apparently resolv­ ed upon North Carolina. i • , -n uNorth Carolina today is experiencing a development nnd nn in- "'“s given at tlie Freeman, home, crease in population and values which, in many respects, compares Officers were told that the yoimg to that of Florida. This development is in some measure the reflec- placed her arm about her tion of Florida’s own vast progress but it could not have occured donartinir husbands neck and \yithout much to offer on its own pni't. There arc, of course, other murmured: summer lands of chnrin and beauty but none so accessible to the peo­ ple of the South or to the prosperity which has recently nome tothosn people. But North Carolina is more than this. It is already one of the first agricultural and industrial states in the Union. Its manu­ facturers of furniture rank second only to tho.se of'Michigan; its to­ bacco growth is the greatest in America; its cotton mills rival in size and number those of Massachusetts; its mineral resources, timber, and water-power are assets of untold value. And it has established for itself an intergrity of government, an educational .system, and a network of highways which have secured and enlarged all of its nat­ ional blessings. „ ,But, what is most iniportant of all.

The failure to assimilate the great accumulation of new knowledge leads to just censure of some church leaders in thoir dealings with young people.” the modera­ tor declared, as he pleaded . for the clearing up of the present con­ fusion in-the minds of the young­ er generation as to the three great facts, the world in which we live, the Bible and Jesus Christ.

"There may come a time, though, when weather conditions arid weevil conditions will g'o hand in hand to destroy a cot­ ton crop," says VV. Bruce Mabee, extension entomologist at State College. "The weevil came first into this State in 1910 and cover­ ed the cotton growing area by tho fall of 1922. Since that time much; loss haa occurred in .some sections but the Stat^ as a whole has been spared the great Ipss which has occurred in some oth­ er states. North Carolina is com­ paratively young in weevil ex-’ ; 'pevience and the growers shoukl always bo prepared for ilacing heavy weevil infestation and re- : .isulting los.s/’ ' ' . Mr. Mabee states that dusting with caicium arsenate is the one best method of controlling the toll weevil. This dusting will not make cotton—it merely pro­ tects such cotton as is made. It cannot be done in a careless way to get results. It is a hard job ^ and must be done right. When done right, good profits are ob­ tained as in the case of one Hali­ fax county farmer last year who made a profit of about $50 per ',:acre over all expenses in com­ parison with his undusted cot­ ton. ' , The detailed directions for dusting cotton as worked out by the State and Government ento­ mologists should be followed in the work. There are many good machines to use for the diffet’ent acreages which growers might ivish to treat. Mr. Mabee states that the Extension Service has issued some excellent bulletins on this subject and copies will be mailed lo those who wish to have the information. He state.s, how­ ever, that it is not too early now to be making plans for the work.

NEW SEED LA^ WILL PROTECT FARMERS Raleigh, May 26.—Farm women of North Carolina, mothers of club boys and girls, and members of the home demonstration clubs organized by the home ■ agents will attend a short course at State College during the week of June 14 to 19. 'fhis will be the second-course of ita kind to.be given by the agri­ cultural e.xtension workers. The first was held last year and was attended by 55 women from 20 counties. This year, letters from home demonstration agents indi­ cate that the enrollment will be ti-ebl.ed and Mrs. Jane S. McKim­ mon, who h/ii!; charge of this work. Raleigh, May 26.—The new seed law which passed the present Congress of the United States will protect the North Carolina farmer fi-oin misbranded seeds imported from foreign countries and unadapted to conditions in thia country. : ' NotaMe worlc in securing the passage of the bill was done by W. H. Darst, Professor of Agro­ nomy at State College, who was given a leave of absence for two months, J.anuary'and February, to work with the Federated Seed Service in securing a seed law. The ilaw is known as the Giood- ing-Ketcham bill and w’ill become effective after May, 25. Its pur­ pose is to prohibit the impoifta- tlon of alfalfa, red cloyer and other seeds into tho United Stat­ es unless the seeds arc fcolored in auch a manner and to:^ch an extent as the Secretary 0Î Agri­ culture may prescribe. Prof; Darst states that where practical, the color used will indicate the country or region-whére the seed was grown, "In the past,” aayéi Prof, Darst, “many millions of pounds of al­ falfa and red clover àeëd ;haVS been imported into this country. Much of this was misbranded and .sold to farmers as domestic seed. Some was blended or mixed with domestic seed and sold as' a home grown product. Since muth of this seed has come from countri­ es with n mild climate, there is Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Carter, o f V riear Winston-^alem, spent' F ri-‘, day night: with Mr. aifii Mre, D. . L. Lanier.

Representative Aswell, of Lou-•---- ----1.!---tVio ' era co-operative associations, w hile the Curtis-Aswoll plan con- tem i)lated national organizations for the m arketing of farm com­ m odities, with the appropriation lim ited to $10,000,000 for adm inis­ trative purposes. Debate on the 'Haugen bill reacl)|d a climax of bitterness. Representative Miirpfiy, republi­ can, Ohio, asserted that the re­ publican leaders had “shown their hand at least, and wanted to aban­ don tlie farmer.” Representative Fulmer, democrat, South' Garo- lina, another supporter ■ of the ............. - - ’ the N.

" ' 'Îh’ç vote on the Haugen bill ■itlilcli embraced the relief plan ef farm organizations from thc ' com belt and was not in accord ■ "»{в! recommendations of Secre- Ляау Jardine, came after a seriea . of motions that tied tlie house in a parliamentary knot and kept vtt in *й' uproar. .Chairinan Madden of the appro­ priations'committee moved to re- ' commit the bill to the agriculture committee and after a long wrangle over whether this mo­ tion was in order, Representative Ifapes, republican, Aliuhigan, pre< siding, was sustained in his rul­ ing that it was proper. f At' first, on a standing vote, thc house, 197 to 176, ordered the bill recommitted. A vote ^y tellers then was demanded, and by a narrower margin^ 171 to 166, the liouee voted again to recommit, members filing up the center aisle to indicate their vote.

Party linc.s were split wide open , on, the vote, 98 republicans, 06 democrats and three others, sup­ porting the bill, wjiile 121 re­ publicans, 89 democrats and two others opposed it. Most of the republican lenders •were lined up against the pro­ posai. many taking the view that the Ficher measure .was prefer­ able. Before the house met today Mr. Tilson and other leaders confer­ red with Chairman Haugen, of the agriculture committee, and several of his lieutena'nts 'in Speaker Longworth's offlce. They . aré understood to have urged the -Haugen bill supporters to agree •to a recommittal motion, with a Pi'oifiise that if it waa sent back to committee some form of farm . legislation, which would run no ijthance of a presidential veto, would ,be passed before the end of thé session. Haugen and his ipllowers,' however, continued the ■' fi'ght'to 'obtain favorable action.

An equalization fee would have been levied on the first sales of wheat, corn, cattle, hogs and -butter, and after two years on cotton. The measure was suP" ported by representatives of corn- belt farm organizations, a numb­ er of cotton growers’ associations, and by the American Farm Bure­ au Federation. . The Tincher bill, carried out fluggestions of Secretary Jardine, who advocated its passage. Al­ though President Coolidge did not openly commit himself on the question, the Word was passed by party leaders in the house that he was opposed to the prin- 1. ciple of the Haugen bill, but, in view of the secretary of agricul- ' ture’s endoraémíntj , c<;)uld be counted on to sign the Tincher bill.

Editoriiy the paper said in the same edition: The renassnnce of Dixie: is no where so marked, as it is in North Carolina, whose 'story is told to­ day in The Sun. For ten years the Nation has been watching this State clear with one great bound the morass of fifty years of pov­ erty and depression to reach the level plain of a new century of promise and achievement. There are those jwho say that good schools have worked tho tran sitio n . Others point to a thousand miles of good road.s nnd still others talk in terms of hydro­ electric power. But perhaps they are nearer correct who point to courageous men who lifted them­ selves up by their own bootstraps and pulled their State with them —men who worked out their own destinies and in doing so led their people out of the depths by teaching the value of hard work and by inspiring them to success. Duke and Reynolds, with a few. mule's and a few pounds of to­ bacco; laid the foundation of a great industry. Others of thdr stamp set up the small mills in the cotton fields and today New England must look to her laurelS' as the textile leader of the coun­ try. Governors like Aycock and Morrison d.otted the State with school houses and lined it with modern highways. Another of the Dukes harnessed the streams from the mountains to move the ; wheels of the tobacco and cotton factories. Yes, North Carolina has reason to be proud of her accomplish­ ments, and even more so because she has played the hand alone and achieved 'her goal by the vision and toil of her own sons.

W. McLean told thi.s year’s graduating class of the Universi­ ty of North Carolina at their final banquet here tonight at the Carolina inn. “I think it would’be a calamity if you would think of leaving the border of North Carolina ,in this period of .the state’s development when there is so much here to at­ tract you,” the governor added. President Chase, who was the other speaker, and'who has, at­ tended ino^t senior banquets in recent years, was authority of the statement that this was the most largely attended on record, Some­ thing oi^er 200 were there includ­ ing 0 goodly sprinkling of co-eds. Lawrence Watt, class president, served as toastmaster, President Chase who spoke first, drew fre- quént ripples of laughter as he told of merits and foibles of the class. Di.scu8sing them in a ser­ ious mood, he pointed out that the outgoing class had witnessed the transition on the constitution from "a fine college to a great university, with a much more complex service.” He reminded the seniors of their responsibility to the university and the state. “I don’t see how any man could spend four years here,” he said, without a vèry genuine and deep sense of responsibility to the stnte which mnde it possible for him to get whnt he got here.” Governor McLean found it dif­ ficult not to, indulge in reminis­ cences and admitted as much. The changes he sees on hia ■visits here gave him “a feeling of glad­ ness mingled with sadness.” The class before him tonight was larger than the university stud­ ent body when he was here, he said. Ho was glad to hear that Bill McDade, the , negro janitor, who used to wait on him and who recently celebrated his 72nd birth­ day, wns still living. Times hnd changed a great deal when he was here, he siiid. He got board and lodging both for $11 a month; now he understands they cost about $40. “From what I can learn the behavior of the boys here these days is just as good as it used to be, if not better,” hei said.. He thought there was a great- pr spirit of democracy in the uni­ versity today th'an ever- The governor devoteil the lat­ ter poi'tion of his address to a diaeuasion of the graduates’ re­ lationship to the university and state. “We are nil stockholders in the grent enterprise we call the state,” he declared. “When I was here the state was poverty stricken and a great many of our young graduates then, discourag­ ed over prospects here, we'nt to other states and most of them have since mnde names for them­ selves. I would have gone my­ self if I could have gotten away. The fact is that I had to borrow S30 to get away from here, but I’m mighty glad 1 didn’t i^o. * The people of the country look upon North Carolina as having the greatest prospects of any state in the union. There is plenty of room for you in North Carolina today and every oppor­ tunity. “Whatever you may .say about the state’s great natural and in­ dustrial resources, they are use- les.? unless we can develop them with manpower of young men and women like you. “You owe an obligation .to ;Nd\-th Carolina. The taxpayers I have paid about half of your ex- i penses here and they have done 'it gladly. You are the preferred assets and preferred stockholders of the state.” 'Discussing the state’s progress, the governor said that while great strides had been made during the last 25 years, "we haven’t done one-tenth of what we can do and should do. The natural resourc­ es of the state have scarcely been touched.” Washington, May 21.—An ord­ er by President Coolidge autho­ rizing the appointment of state, county ,and municipal police as Federal Prohibition officers wns made public today at the troaiuiry. It aroused immediate and bitter opposition in the senate. , Its constitutionality was attack­ ed by both Republicaii and Demo­ cratic Senators and the order it­ self was made the subject of a fiery assault on the President by Senator Bruce, Democrat, Mary land. , . . The order was dated at the White House on May 8, and was issued in the absence of Assis­ tant Secretary Andrews, in charge of prohibition enforcement, upon whose recommendation it was drawn. While ready to take prompt ad advantage of the order, prohibí tion officers were not prepared to announce to what extent they would avail themselves of autho rity to almost quadruple the strength of the enf6rcement army It was indicated this would lefjr in large measure to locate administrators. States which have laws pro­ hibiting their officers from serv­ ing the government would be ex­ empt from the order and it was explained that in the others loca' offlcers would be employed only by mutual consent and that the “nominal compensation” provided probably would be only $1 a year, a government salary which came into vogue with the world war. Commissioner Jones explained that one purpose of the order would be to permit local officers to ignore city, county and state lines in pursuing dry laws viola tors. Another, he said, was bring about a partnership be­ tween the Federal and local fore ' es.---------------•--------------- JUDGE BRYSON QUITS BENCH ON JULY 1ST Sends Letter of Resignation Governor McLean and Chief Executive Accepts It.

C., May 27, 1926 "We will continue to hold reun­ ions as long as there nre two of us left,” is the answer of the Confed­ erate Veterans to the suggestion that, since the old boys are get­ ting 39 feeble they oughtÿto dis­ continue their annual reunions. And we glory in their grit. They are showing the same determined spirit which prompted them to make oi n handful, the most in­ vincible army the world had ever seen up to that time, And now since Ex-governor "Morrison of Charlotte, has an- 'npunced that he 'will be a candid­ ate for the United States senate six years henpe, Col. T. L. Kirk­ patrick, of Charlotte, also comes along with the statement that his hat will be in the ring for the same office in 1932. Of course, that is a long time off, and it is hard to tell just what may develop in tbe meantime but with two can­ didates from the same town run-' tii;ng, it is not hard to .'guess that the strength of both would be ma­ terially weakened. i .We suspect that those fellows' ■who started so much talk at the meeting of 'the Committee of Ono Hundi'èd in Charlotte recently weriC to tiie meeting because they .were against tho vory thing they ' knew the organization was to fight. They doubtless posed aa antl-iVolutiohists when as a mat­ ter of fact they were in sympathy with the hiodornist ideas.

No less than a thousand automobiles pass daily over route 10 between Lexington and Statesville; indeed, this esti­ mate may be regarded aa a very conservative one. These cars bear tourists from practically ev­ ery state in the Union, and hund­ reds of these tourists are “pros­ pectors” seeking a suitable place to invest their surplus cash. Doesn’t it stand to reason, then, that with two or three thousand people passing through this sec­ tion daily, many of whom -are eagerly searching out opportuni­ ties to invest capital, Mocksville and Davie County will reap the benefits of a rich pafronage hith­ erto unknown to them? ,When such conditions exist * develop­ ments are sure to follow that will requii’e the erection of a modern hotel in Mocksville; an up-to-date restaurant or teii room will be .demanded; new service stations will spring up to take care of a constantly increasing demand for gas, oils, accessories and repairs and a multltudè of pther new en­ terprises will be opened up to meet the requirements of the then- existing conditions. It is riot idle fancy to picture a manufacturing plant or two and possibly y textllii mill resulting from this new contact with pro­ moters and investors: nor does it require a stretch of one's ima­ gination to foresee a rapid de­ velopment of much of the idle farm land throughout the county now going to waste,for want of attention. For all these things are likely to happen when route 76 is completed and opened'up to traffic. \ Therefore, let us think about ♦he positive side of ouT growth and development and let the ne­ gative take care of Itself. Let’s stop knocking and start boosting all the harder, and let’s all pull for the rapid construction of tho new highway which we have every right to regard as our best and surest avenue to we'alth and con­ tinued prosperity.

It la with the hope of .supplying this serious deficiency that- a Catechism is included in thia lit­ tlo Hanbook. It is believed it will bo found to have the follow­ ing merits: (a). It is expressed ih language simple enough to be taught to children and to adults unacquaint­ ed with theological Inngungo, Not that all tho words are familiar, but their moaning may be taught, and thus convey theological truth. .(b). Its answers are all expres­ sed in complete sentences, so that even without tho questions they may be read intelligently. (c). .The whole forms a system matic body of religious doctrine arranging its eight topics in a logical order and completeness, viz.: 1. God. 2. Man. 3 The Bible. 4. God's Law. 5. Sin. 6. Salvation. 7. The Christian Life. 8. Judge­ ment. Sunday Schools and Summer Schooia of Methodiats for Young People could make no more im­ portant contribution to the Ghria- tian culture of our people than to perauade them to learn the Cate- chiam Viy heart.

(By Millard Ferguson in Char­ lotte Observer) Knoxville, May 22.—Since J. H. Diggs had a 'sign painted on the front of his barber shop telling the World that he won’t cut wo­ men’s hair any mòre, becauae the Bible says it shouldri’t be done, he has.become something of a na­ tional figure. Men and women from one end of the lond to the other are writ­ ing to him, telling him what a great man they think he is, or what a darned fool, according to how they feel on the bobbed hair 'question. But Mr. Diggs doesn’t mind the critics. His masculine trade has aboul doubled. Men go out of their way to yiait his shop and they say to him: “Brother, you'ri right.” The Lord gave women hair and he meant for them to keep it. The sign on the, shop reads : “Special notice. Positively no .more women’s and girls hair bob­ bed here. ‘Such is an abomina­ tion in the sight of God. Study hia et’ernal word.’ Cor. 11:6-15.” "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever man seweth that alao he ahall reap.” Gal. 6:7. In explaining hia attitude on the bobbed hair Mr. Digga aaid. “Hands Off ” “I cut women’s hair for two years, and then I stopped all of a sudden becauae I realized it was unchvi'atian, and I want to run my shop on Christinn principles. I believe it ia ainful to bob her hair, becauso it is her'crowning glory, and it ia an equal sin for a man to cut it for her,” Mr. Diggs picked up a leaflet from his desk and quoted from it as better expounding his views. "We live now in an age of fada” he re^d, "and one of the moat abominable of these made of short hair among women. Read Cor. 10:1-15. The passage says: ‘But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her, for her hair ia given her ^ for a covering.’ Read also Deut. 22:5. “The women shall not wear that which pertainelh unto a mnn, neither shall a .man niit on a woman’s garment, for • all that do ao are an abomination unto the Lord: thy\God.’ ” Mr. Diggà read from another paragraph in which the queation waa raiaed whether bobbed haired women ahould be allowed to take part in public worship. Then ho quoted passages from Paul to the effect that women ought not to pray or to propho.ay with their iieada uncovered, arid that wo- men’a hair is given her for a covering. .-On his desk lay a pile of letters a foot high, all of them express­ ing frank opinions about bol)bed hair. “Praise God for one barber who lives according to. the teachings of God’s holy word and dares to stand for what he believes to be right,” wrote Mrs. C. .S. Root, of Brinaon, Georgia, on a post card addressed to "The Christian Bar­ ber.” "I feel 'that, if the men would take their stand the way you have against the flapper, she would brace up and be a woman. We need more mon who ai’e not afraid of criticism.” A brickbat Vaa hurled from Wopster, Ohio, in a letter written by Mrs. E. W. H.; which reads: "If you do not approve of wo­ men and girls bobbing their hair, you could at least keep your mouth shut. Such statements as yo'u make are unchristian than bobbed hair ever was. When Christ was on eai'th, all men wore long flowing hair. Now men wear it close to the head. I think wo­ men have a right to do what they please with their own hair. They don’t need the advice of a crank.” Ernest F. Millan,,'of Fairmont, West Virginia, declared that he could see no “reason for develop­ ing a tolerance for the male wo­ man” who cuts her hair short, and the Rev, P, R. Nugent of Ri­ chmond, Virginia, declared that women are overlooking the fact that God intended loi^g- hair aa natural covering for tiibm..— ^— :— '.ф--------------- Bankers and business men o( tho leadlug towns oi Taylor county, Tox- aa, employod a county agent 1»»^ spring, and roauested that he v^go^ oualy promote boys' and girls' icUil) activities.

Were on their way back lioliie, the men.of the 'COs, perhaps •»n th«Jr last journey, from Birm­ ingham, where Friday the 36th annual reunion of their fast di- niahing clan had come to nn end. From the plains of Texas, from *the Blue Ridge meetings of old ■Vjrginin,' from the red hills of Georgia and Alabama they came, like boys on a picnic. ' ( Some of the . more youthful climbed great niasses of granite to get to the foot of the mountain ''-which in later years \\>ill portray ,-4o the world the story of the Con­ federacy. They drank pop and ■ 3iad their "pictures took.” They laughed and recounted old times in bivouacs • around Gettysburg .and Spottsylvania and Chickam- auga and Appomattox. They ser-. iously explained how this battle •was won/ahd that was lost. They had a good time. “Lee’s hat ought to come off," «aid some. They remembered him best bareheaded.. .Jackson always wore a cap. That sure did look like “Stonew{ill,”'all right. Other.s were silent, they looked on and said nothing. Colonel Clinkscales, of San Antonio in- Bisted on clambering atop the Jiuge pile of drilled stone a.t the base, and having his picture snapped with a grouii of good- looking Sponsors. There were four coach loads of old veterans and their sponsors, it made a special train from At- lanta to the base of the mountain where Walter 'A. Simmes, of At­ lanta, Attorney General George Napier, of Georgia, and Hollins Randolph of the memorial asso­ ciation delivered addresses. Following the ceremonies lun­ cheon was served after which parties formed and explored the mountain vicinity, gathering sou­ venirs of granite chips to take back home. It was the greatest and grandest party of old fighters ever to comu to-look nt the gigantic memorials. Old uniforms weic pressed, gold braid flashed in the bright spring siin,' eyes were sparkling or dim­ med with age aiid tears of remin­ iscences. Young girls called for­ mer colonels “Daddy” in affectio­ nate tones and thc old curdling rebèl yell rang out time and again. GOOD HAY SUrPLY BASIS DAIRY SUCCESS Raleigh, May 26.—Tho dairy cow is a roughage consuming animal and fares best when fur­ nished an abundant supply of this material. “But the roughage must be of the right kind,” says. John A. Arey, dairy extension • specialist of State College. "Legume roug­ hage is be.st. There are a numb­ er of summer legume crops which will do well in North Carolina and the mo.st important of these, because of its adaptation to our climatic conditions; is the soy­ bean. The hay from the .soybean is relished by dairy cattle and feeding trials show it to be equal in feeding value to alfalfa hay if cut at the proper stage and well cured.” The proper time to cut soybeans for hay is when the lower leaves begin to yellow, states Mf. Arey. If the plant is allowed to grow more mature, the leaves all drop off and the stems are so coarse and woody that they are not eaten by the dairy cow. Mr. Arey .states that there is i>. substitute for legume hay in satisfactory milk .production. Sometimes, however, one’s plans may fail and on uiccount of drought or other conditions, it is impossible to grow a good supply Warrenton, May 23.—W. L. Ross charged with the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Odom, in,Warren county, last Sunday, was convict­ ed by a jury in Warren cotinty su­ perior court of first degree murd­ er last night. The verdict was returned at 11:15, after the jury had been out an hour and a half. The case went to the jury at 9:30 o’clock, following Judge E. H. Cranmar’s fifty-minute charge. Ross was nervous during the speech of the solicitor and the judges’ charge, Which came at a night session, and "opiates were administered the prisoner several times. Judge Cranmer charged the jury that it might return either pf four verdicts: first or second ■degree murder, manslaughter, or acquittal, and he outlined the con­ ditions of each. The judge charged the jury that if the defendant was conscious of right nnd Avrong, he was re­ sponsible for his act, and that in a plea of insanity, he must satisfy the jury of such insanity. The jurors were not required to put themselves into Ross’ position. Judge Crnnmer declared, nor to concern themselves with the events that may transpi rt after the verdict is rendered. Solicitor Parker, in his argu­ ment, contended that I .Ross was guilty of murder in tW first de­ gree, and was not insane. This 'wns shown, the solicitor argued, by. the preparations tho prisoner made for the care of his three small children before’ leaving home, by his admitting to county officers that he had gone to tho Gdom home and had done what lie had planned to do, and by his statement to Sallie Bett Odom after the killing, that she was the cause of it all. He said this, the girl had testi­ fied, as he pointed a'gun in her face. Her action in leaving his home was his motive, he told the girl, according to her testimony. Harold Coqley, of Nashvjlle, closed the case for the defendant a short time before court recess­ ed. He argued that the prisoner as insane, and' plead with the ] jury to return a verdict of in­ sanity, which would relieve him of responsibility for tho crime. All day the court room has been filled to capacity, with hundreds congregated outside. Members of Warrenton company of naliohal guard have been on duty since late yesterday, stationed at all entrances to the court house nnd in spots over the court room. The soldiers were placed in the court room merely ns a precautionary measure. TÌiere has been no in­ dication of violence. Ross, in marked contrast to his demeanor of yesterday, when he almost collapsed on the witness stand and opiates were administ- i ered to bolster him up, has been j one of the most composed persons in the court room today. On cross examination, the prisoner today stuck to his testimony that his mind was a blank as to hia act. Ross has had a checkered car­ eer, his acqiiiiintance.s here say. I He was born in New York’s east side nnd cnme to Hollister some .fifteen years ago to work in a lumber camp. He afterwards was entrusted with the respon.sibility of night watchman, and some time later came under the spell of a religious revival and joined the church. Later he became teach­ er of a Bible class and then sup­ erintendent of the Sundify school. At one time he was postmaster at Hollister, and at another was a deputy sheriff in Hallifax county; He was once a member of the —:;hool board, and nas otherwise been prominent in his communi- ty. Ross has twice been married, and is now a wi'dower, his second wife having died several years ago. H is counsel contends thnt he has had so many reverses in life that they have made him in­ sane, and that be has suffered from amnesia. He hns been n free user of intoxicants also, he hns testified. Snllie Bett Odom, his adopted daughter, kept house for hijn, and she claims that the prisoner was so cruel to her that she ran away several weeks ago, and had made her home with the Odoms until the' crime. She was the only eye witness to the crime, and escaped death herself at the hands of Ross only by fleeing after the Odoms had been killed. ' The case has been, perhaps, the most unusual in the history df Warren county, and has attracted probably the largest crowds ever in attendance upon a court ses­ sion here. :UTURE BECKONS YOUNG AMERICANS G reat even ts of the p ast q u arter con. tiiry w lilch lead н о те young m en to 'eom/iliiln th al a ll the big thliiBB huve bet-n done, leavin g no op portun ity tor llifMii. as n m atter of fnct only go to show thnt nvnn R renter opportunity today lies nhcail of them , F.

"Second, it was contended that teaching which is calcu­ lated to undermine the religious faith,of th,e youth of plastic mind and character and therefore to undo largely what has been done in the home and the Sunday School through re- ■ ligious teaching is not e.ssential to the purposes of the schools, which should 'be devoted to the task of preparing the young people to( meet the problems of life, and to dis- chargë the duties of good citizenship, and that it is^ot neces­ sary for the purpose of character building, which Gover­ nor McLean declares is one'of the greatest duties of schools ,and teachers. “Why áre some- people so zealous in, their desire to have taught in the public schools'and the State-supported' institutions those things which are calculated to under­ mine one's faith in God and in^the Bible? ¡ ' "What is the motive behind the" Nationwide agitation today against the Bible and.the Christian religion?
