ilE ítríOWS, UNCLE SAM IS A
BIG FELLOW
owing question: “What plants
can be Used to supplement other
foods in-time of famine?” li.was
during this contost that it waa
scientifically proven that the po
tato was quite harmless. .This
.proof was made by a military apo-
theacary named Parnientier. And
yet the iprejudice continued, in
■spite of the experimental field,
and despite the fact that the din
ner menus at many of the leading
hotds and in Paris, carried pota
toes. It was only after Loiiis
XVI of Francer appeared in public
wearing in his buttonhole Par-
mentier’s little mauve flower,
thereby 'glorifying the potato in
the French court, that the people
abandoned their prejudice and
came to the full appreciation of
the Irish potato.
It would be hard to estimate the
suffering which has been endured
by humanity for its ignorance and
itff prejudice and its inertia. When
will pejpple learn the truth and
accept it and be saved?

DIVIDED ALLEGIANCE
Right much discuaalor. has gone
thoi round in the United' States
¡' Senate and through the press,
, regardihg the alleged action of
' Premier ^usaolini, of Italy. Mar
cus iDulIieldi recently writing in
Harpers Magazine, makes the
charge that the Itaian dictator is
making an orgariized effort to in
terfere with the rights of natur-
• alized Italians in this country.
That he is attempting to interfere
with the teaching of Italian ;child-
xen in this country, even those
of naturalized Italians. The char
ge is that he is attempting to re
tain for the Italian ^’»scistEi, al
legiance on the part of Italians
living in America, even Naturali-
•zed Italians, The charge doubtless
•carries some shadow of truth, but
it iff possible! they are not all en*
tirely true. However, since th«*
United States will not brook any
half way allegience from those
■who 'have been made citizens of
-this country, and since it is the
policy of , this country to protect
its naturalized of foreign birth,
it is well that the Washington
authorities go to the very bottom
of the question to see just how
much truth, if .any, there' may be
to Diffleld’s charges.■---------------♦---------------
ARB WE TRUTH HATERS?
When Irish potatoes were first
introduced' from Peru into Eur
ope, Ipeople wore told that the
eating of them caused leprosy.
‘That was back in the fifteenth
century. By the seventeenth cen
tury all sane people recognized
the absurdity of the claim, but it
was then claimed that they caus
ed fever. It was only aftCT 1771
that seientiiic, proof was made of
the food value of the Irish potato.
In that year the Besancon Acade-
•my of Medicine opened a compe-
• ■ ti||p;^,,,ior the apswer to the fol-
,The fellow who attempts to
blaze new trails, or to give the
world anything new and usef'ul
expect nothing more than to meet
with opposition, a'Ud to encounter'
the criticism and: envious coriten
tions of sterile polemics. The
great French scientist, Louis Pas
teur, learned this when struggling
with the silk work disease, and
when sure he - had discovered
the. remedy, he was troubled and
worried by envious doubters and
with those who did not want ,to
believe. When Lister was trying
to convince a doubting world that
thousands of^Hves could be saved
through proper sanitation in case
of wounds and operations; he was
violently criticized, even by the
medical iprofession, and pitlleasiy
ridiculed for his "minute precau
tions in the. dressing of wouhds.”
But, impressed with the righte
ousness of his cause, Pasteur went
along hia way willing to suffer
unjustly, if by so doing he might
save thousands of French and
Italian farmers from the ravages,
of the silk worm diseaue, and Lis
ter, with his calm courage ■ and
smiling kindliness just let people
talk and proceeded on his way to
wards perfe'cting his methods of
sterilization and st^nitation. He
waa wlllinsr to suffer,ridicule andi
criticism, that the unappreciative
world might be savçd from expo
sure to tho unsanitary methods
üsed at that I'ime in cases of op'-
orations. Both livedj to see their
work established, , and appreciated
by the world, but how many of
¡ess strength of character, and
with loss love for suffering hu
manity, would have said “Well,
then, you cock-eyed world, if you
don’t appreciate the truth, go long
and continue to suffer the penalty
for your ignorance and Inertia.
But not so with these men, and
not so with others of towering
character and matchless love for
mankind. Like all the really
great, they did their duty regard
less of results. 'N ----------------« ----------------
FARMINGTON WOMAN’S
MISSIONARY SOCIETY MEET
Lexington, Va.,—The burial of
“Traveler,” Gt'n. Robert E Leo's
war horse, was described here by
Mrs. Margaret Letcher Showell,
of Letcher Avenue, who, as a
twelve-year-old girl, was one of
the eight ipersons who made up
the funeral cortege.
Mrs., Showell contradicts the
common ibolief that “Traveler”
was merely “pushed over the cliff
after liia death and describes his
burial as an affair aa solemn as
that of his master.
"Traveler ste.pped on a' nail,”
Mrs. Showell explained, ‘‘and died
,of lockjaw a few days later. For
(several daya and mighta preced-
'ing the horse’a death. Gen. Cur
tis Lee, oldest son of Robert L.
Lee, and who succeeded his father
as President of Washington col
lege, ,now Washington and' Lee
University, and visitors at the
Lee home sat beside the wounded
animal Utmost care and'attention
was given him. ^ '
“After Traveler’s death, Gten.
Curtis Lee, accompanied by three
■little 'girls and myself, and assist
ed, by three colored men, burled
him under , a tree in the ravine
behind Washington and Lee Uni
versity.
“A dead silence was kept throu
ghout the burial. Not a word, was
spoken from the time we set out
from the stable which still stands
behind^the President’s home, here
now, until we left the grave* I
shall always remember the tend
er grimneas of Gen. Curtis Lee’s
face aa he £(tood with bared head
beside tJie grave.” -
Mrs. Showell explained that a
largo hole was dug for Traveler’s
grave. The floor 'of his hole was
covered With boards and the.horae
Was dragged' onto this flooring.
Tho cawacs was then covered
with lime and the sides and a
top were fitted to the planking
in the 'bottom of the hole, thus
enclosing the horse in a sealed
wooden caalret.
“Gen. Curtis Lee himself spread
Traveler’s blanket over him be
fore th(j top was placed pn the
box,” Mrs. Showell said. “Curtis
was as fond of Traveler as fathei’
had' beon. He was very sad as he
walked away from the giave.
In 1907, funds to have the ake-
leton of T'raveler mounted wore
donated' by Joseph Bryan of Rich
mond. The skeleton now stands
in a glass case _ in the basement
of Lee Memorial Chapol on the
campus of Washington and Lee
University.

The Main Reason
An old negro had njade several
unsuccessful attempts to join a
fashionable negro church. One of
the deacons told him to go home
and pray over it and get the Lord’s
opinion. The preacher, hearing of
this the next day asked Sam if
he had prayed, and what the Lord
advised him to do. Sam said. “The
Lord said, no wonder you can’t
get in that church, Sam; I’ve tried
to get in there myself for the past
twenty years.”

North Carolina would secure
nearly double tho present amou'nt
received from the government
each year for construction of fe
deral aid highways, under the pro
posal of the A. A. A. for Congn’ess
to increase the total from $76,-
000,000 to $125,000,000, according
to Coleman W. Roberts, vice 'pre
sident of- the Carolina Motor Club.
Mr. Roberts baseS his statement
on the fact that North Carolina
has been apportioned $1,716,919
for the fiscal year ending Ju'ne,
1930. On this basis he estimates
that the increased apportionment
would give the state the added'
sum of $1,144,670, or a total of
$2,861,589, annually.

and favorable action is anticipat

"There is no doubt that high
way building is not keeping рас?
with the increase in car registra
tions,!’ he continued,” and there is
a national need for speeding U'P
construction on interstate roads.
‘‘Although there is alao a
great need for secondary highw'ay

THE CHRISTIAN SPIRIT IN IN
DUSTRY
Deut. 24:14-15; Ephesians 0:5-9
1. Timothy 6:17-10
Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D.
Religion that does not improve
daily living is far from practical
By this test the spiritual ipower
of the Bi'ble is above that of the
sacred book of every other form
of religion. Right relationship
between all elapses in society arS
indicated in both the' Old and Ncav
Testaments. From the very begin
ning Jehovah has‘been teaching
mankind how-to live with one an
other. Industry has always been
divided into two general classes
-rcapital and labor. The best re-
ifulta for ,both can be had only !as
the expjicit directions of Scrip
ture are applied. Both the classes
in society are indicated in both
the Old and New Testaments,
work in closest understandable
cooperation." Indus'trial and social
principles a/re found in all parts
of the Bible. The chosen portions
for today in addition to those a-
bove are Exodus 1:8-14 20:17;
Amos 6:6; 15; Zechariah 8:,16-17;
¡Matthew 20:1-16; Mark 12:1-9
Luke 3:14. A general summary is
the-Golden Text: "As ye would
that men should do to you, do ye
also to them likewise.”
Conditions were awful in Bible
times. Slavery was in vogue- T'he
lash was often felt before the com
mand could bo heard. Too fre-1
quently might made right 'but'
Jehovah was always on the sidef'of
the txpresaed Israel had come out'
of EgyipUan ibondage and therq
must have been a glad .sound \yhen
the underling heard "Thou shalt
not oppress a hired servant that
is poor and needy.” Neither must
any advantages be taken of tho
ontlander who was in their mids't.
Even in our days unskilled labor
from another country haa boon
.Holiishly exploited. Law became
tho protector and.'fixed tho time
'for the payment of wages. In somo
states now an employee can de
mand that hitf pay be given to him
at least twice a month.
The employer has rights also
and Paul called for full service
from thoae-who had duties to per
form. They were cheered mean
while by the statement that while
they might be servants "accord
ing to tho flos'h” they could attend
to their duties "as unto Christ.”
Though no. earthly eye was wat
ching they should know that God
was always beholding their thor
oughness, or lack of that quality
in service. They had entered into
a contract and muirt deliver full
value. What is the difference whe
ther an employer short-changes
the man or he short-times the man
who is rightly e.xpocting full work
during each hour? The story is
•pertin№t about the woman who
said life was Po different since
she boiame a Christian, ‘Now I
sweep under the rugs.”
The. sipirit of the Golden rule
is being expressed in 'better work
ing conditibnif that are afforded
labor today. Sanitary surrounding
rest rooms recreation centres, edu
catiohal classes, bonuses, etc. all
help both parties concerned. Each
is' studying tho nroblems of tho
older. The wealthy 'are recogr'
ing the responsibHity that goes
with their vast accumulations and
are giving 'in lavish amounts for
the general good. Kindliness make
the day’s' work,smoother and more
resultful. Multitude« are proving
that Christianity does work in in
dustry. In fact it offers the only
workable solution for 'the serious
problems that are involved. Even,
so, it has never beefn fully tried.

DECEMBER IS THE TIME •
, The' big incomc tax reduction voted by, Con-
girnsH will help conditions some, but the trouble
irf it.will help those very little who most need
heiip. Only these paying income tax will fed
directly /tho bonedts coming from the big re
duction. Tho millions and millions of farmers
and workers of this country who stand in im
mediate need of help will not be benefltted by
•any income tax reduiction, for they pay no in
come tax. .What the government ought to do,
if possible, is something which might dicactly
benefit and help the great mass of people, tho
small farmea's, d^ictory woiikers, and, others
who do not make incomes large enough to be
• taxed at all.
MUST HAVE LOVED HER AUTO
A young mai) named Virgil HaiiVis, of Canton
was recently given five years in tho state prison
because he stole and wrecked his sister’s auto
mobile. ; Ho was inidlcted sit the instigatjon of
his sister, who, according to a Canton news
dispatch, is now sorry that she pushed the case.
Sines she has' recovered from the shock and
the first effects of her loss and has gotten to
“normalcy,” ahe h-us learned that there is
something in life to be prized more highly than
an automobile. Of course, it is natural that
one will hold any piece of properly of the
value of a good automobile vory dearly, but
ia it not a fact that too many of us almost
make our automobiles our god? The boy may
have deserved what ho got, but it is hard for
ono to think of a f.isler or brother bocoming
tho instigator of an indictment for an oiTensq
of this kind.
THIS GARDEN SPO'l^
Does any one in Davie County know any
. reason why this should not be the finest spot
in North Carolina? No better farming terri
tory can, be found anywhere. No finer graz
ing section is located witiiin the bounds of
the entire state. We havo good schools in
easy reach of every child. Our churches aro
. adequate and creditable. Fine highways lead
into Mocksville from almost every direction.
. This town is located favorably on one of the
Southern Railway’s main lines. Two of the
state’s, leading highwayci cross the public
square in Mockavllle. Our people are honest,
lawabiding, industrious, proud. The greater
per cent of our population is native born An-
gle-Saxon. , Our climate can’t bo surpased in
the world, taking it the year around. So with
all these advantages, only the aipplication of
a bit moro hard work, with the exorcise of a
little extra thought and a great faith in our
county’s future, are needed to make this the
garden spot of tho state.
THIS PAPER AND MOCKSVILLE

in ,which to pay up ypuir newspaper subscrip- ,

WILL HELP VERY LITTLE
We are broadening out our circulation.
Wo are putting more money into making this
a better paper. We are determined to make
the Enterprise one of the mightiest factors in
this town’s growth. We solicit the aid and
cooperation of local people, and especi.nlly lo
cal advertisers. We can, with your assistance,
make this a greater trading center. But it
takes advertising to make a newspaper go and
it requires regular consistent advertising to
put across a live mercantile business during
these days when great manufacturers and
great retailers are spending millions in adver
tising their goods. A business can’t get any
where these days without advertising. It
"costs money, but it is like buying fertilizer for
a farm, it brings enough additional income to
pay for itself and have a handsome balance
left.
REALLY SOMETHING TO IT
I\Iocksville Merchants should start adver
tising seriously now and keep it up. December
will soon, be gone and they will find themselves
facing January, the'month of reduction sales
and clearances. If a merchant fails to do a
good business in December his chances are
bad for making good before March. But by
starting now, putting prices right down to rock
bottom, by advertising and close application
to business, one should not only make good
from now untirChristmas, but be in better po
sition to Iceep business up to par during Jan
uary and-iFebruai'y. Fellows, don’t be afraid
to advertise. There is something to it. Other"
wise the great businesses of this section of this
nation, the richest in the world, would not keep
on spending millions and millions every year
in telling the world of their goods and their
merit.
THE SPIRIT THAT COUNTS
Over at Albemarle one night last week there
'gathered' at 'a banquet over FOUR HUNDRED
people'. I'hoy, wero farmers, farmers’ wives
farm club girl's and boys, heads of great mer
cantile and manufacturing establishments, law
yers, doctors, 'bankers, preachers and news
paper men with a fair seasoning of teachers
and school authorities. They met, ac'cording
to a news dispatch, “on a basis of mutual res*
pect, fellp\yshlp antf good will.” Farmers and
farm boys and girls made addresses along side
the addresses of professional speakers. The
key note of the evening was better feeling and
closer cooperatipn and clearer understanding
between tho buo'siness men of the town.‘f,4)f the
county arid the farmers. Society women min
gled in a most friendly v.'ay v.-ith countryside
housewives and apparently got a big kick out
of it. Tho occasion was broughi about through
the united efforts of tho farmers, the country
women’s clubs, bo.ys’ and girls’ farm clubs and
tho home and farrti demonstration departments
of the county.
That’s the spirit which builds up great com
munities and make's great commonwealths and
great nations. Other town and counties would
do well to follow the example set by Albemarle
and Stanly County.

YES, “HUNEYCUTT” IS STILL “IN THE
GAME,”
Since'Mr. A. C. Huneycutt haa taken actual
charge of tho editorial columns of this paper
we fool that the following article from tho Mor
ganton NowH-Horald will be of interest to our
readers. Miss Pratt, editor of the Nows-Her-
ald, is recognized as one the leading editors in
North Carolina, and she knows a newspaper
when she sees one. Read her story:
"The News-Herald finds Itself considering
the recent newspaper changes at' Albemarle
with mixed feelings of rejoicing and regret.
iWe aro gratified at the ovidonce of enterprise
and progress on tho part of The Albemarle
Press, »which this week, after absorbing The
Stanly Nows-Horald, becomes The Stanly News
and Press, and at the same time know that we
will misa from our exchange table the paper
that was so reflective of tho personality ot our
good friend, A. C. Huneycutt.
, "Mr. Bivins and the young men who have
jmade the Albemarle Press one of the best week
ly newspaipers in the State (it won the Savory
trophy of the Press Association for general
excellence this year), aro to be congratulated
on liaving an undisputed field and greater pos-
si!)ilities for growth and service. They richly
deserve all tho rewards that are crowning thoir
newspaper efforts. Tho Stanly Nows and Press
will set a pace that few small town papers can
hope to match. We wish them continued suc
cess and prosperity.
"‘M-r. Huneycutt .sriys he is not leaving the
profession and we hope he sticks to that re
solve. In ncwspiuper circles in North Carolina
there is not a moro popular editor than “Hun-
oycutt.” He rarely misses a Prcfrs Association
meeting, and .we are glad to know he has no
intention of deserting us there. He has an in
dividuality which he put unreservedly into his
pajier and which kept it from growing stale or
stereotyped. We trust the ink is on his fin
gers sufficiently thick to keep him "in the
game.”

JNEW FERTILIZER ELEMENT
MAY BE REQUIRED
Raleigh, Dec. 9.—Recent in-
-vestigations by L. G. "V^iina, soil
«hemist of the North Carolina
Experiment Station, indicate that
manganese may be required as a
fourth. element of plant food in
fertilizer in addition to the com-
jnonly used nitrogen, phosphor
ous and potash.
"Ouj:. flndinga зЬолу that for
practical purposes, manganese,
may be considered essential for
plant 'growth in this State,” says
Mr. Willis. "Many soils are so
nearly 'deficient in this element
that erop growth is limited and
fertilization with manganese is
profitable. We have only observed
the deficiency in the sandy soils
o f the lower coaBval plain and
only when these havevbeen limit
ed to near neutrality or more.
The deficiency iff seldom found
on well drained soils with per-
¿leable aubaoils,”
. ' Mr. Willis -says that any sandy
eòi! on the coastal plain where
epybeana become yellow at the
top of the plant and which’is
-neutral or nlknline aa a result
of limiting will probably be found
deficient in manganese; Heavy li-
niihg also appears to increase the
need- for potash fertilization on
these soils, i’"' 4|
Maganese fqr fei-tilizers ia be
ing sold as manganese sulphate
at a price ranging from $4.60 to
?G.00 u'hundred pounds. Fifty
pounds an acre in the drill should
be enough for any North Carolina
soil and less might bo offectivo.
The fortilizntion will need to bo
repeated every year for each crop.
There are some soils subject
to a munga^iese deficiency which
are now too acid and lime should
be used on these in moderate a-
mounta. To completely neutralize
such soil, however, Will meaij that
more manganese fertilizer will
have to be used. One ton an acre
of ground limestone or its equiva
lent in otherr forms of lime, is pro
bably the greatest amount that
can be used on the average -coast-
a)j plai> soil that has not previous
ly been limed, saytf Willis.------^--------♦ . . --------
THINNING PINES
ADDS TO INCOME
Raleigh, Dec. 9.—By thinning
out an acre of pines, G. M, Hatley
of Hudson in Caldwell County,
has found it posaible to sell atove
wood at-a profit, occupy himself
at gainful labor, and leave hia
field of pine trees in bettor shape
than before the thinninga..
The: field of pines used in the
démonstration waa located on
poor gullied,, hill and the timber
would average about 29 years of
age. As a demonstration with
county agent P. M. Hendricks Mr.
Hatley thinned out one acre of
the pines according to instruction
given him by extension forester,
R. W. Graeber of State College.
From the acre, ten cords of fuel
wood was cut leaving 283 trees
standing.
Mr. Hatley had thc wood sawed
and split and then.sold it in town
for $7.50 a corci. Tho total .cost
of converting the trees into stove
wood amounted to $5.25 a cprd.

BUT HOW ABOUT THB
AVERAGE MAN?
The Stanley News' Herald.
Testifying before the Senate
Lobby Committee, John H. Carroll
prominefnt Washington lawyer ata
ted the other day that he was re
presenting the interest of a, Cu
ban sugar icompany at a salary
of $i,500 a month, and that he
was paid a $10,000 retainer by H.
C. Larkin, president of the Cuban
company. f ,■
There you have it. And he ia
juat one of the many lobbista now
in 'Waahington, representing many
many big businesses, trying to in
fluence law makers to vote favor
ably on laws doslgned to holp fin
ancially those already rich and
powerful. But how many high sa
laried lobbyists are in Washing
ton representing the interests of
the millions and millions of just
plain American citizens?
This lobbyini^^ by paid 1алууегв
on high Salaries is not confined
to Washington. It goes on right
in North Carolina during every
session of the. General Assembly.
And who pays these big salaries
and foes to the' men who attempt
to influence legislation? Think
you for one minute that the men
and the organizations employing
them expect to ipay these big bills
No, they expect tho folk« to pay
them. If tho “deer people” really
knew wliat goes on around our
various lawmaking godles, and
knew how they aro being made to
liay the bills through legislation
unfavorable to thorn, and favora
bly to the men and the p>ganiza-
tions hiring the lobbyist.4, there
would soon bo something doing in
this country,
And thoy are going to learn it
all, sooner or later. A.s* intollig-
ence grows through evhieation of
the masses, it will be harder and
harder for this special interest
gang to get in their work at the
expense of those v/ho do tho work

FARM WORK ANIMALS
ARE GETTING OLD
ITorsos and ,mules used on tho
farms of North Carolina are get
ting old and few colts are being
grown to replace them.
On January 1, 1925, there were
408,411 horses and mules on tho
farm of the State and the figures
for 1928 show that there has been
little change in this number. The
stati.Ttics further show that the
States importated stock costs $200
a head, farmer of the State are
sending i/ut one million dollars
each year for replaceif.nt.s. 4'his
is a seriou.4' and constant drain
upon local agriculture and could
be largely avoided by raising a
few colts on the farm.' . /'
Tho Piedmont section i.s'ideal-
ly suited for this purpose, say
agricultural workers at State Col
lege. Tho animals consume chief
ly those' crops which are not read
ily.sold for cash and with the
abundance of forage crops and
tho good pastures of the pie,
mont region, colts could be grown
here economically.
The farmers who raises his
own colts, handles them properly
and provides jjlenty of roughage
and pasture on liis own place will
get his ipower very economically.
About tlie only casli outlay in
such a case i.s- the money re(|uired
for harness and shooing. Harness
m'fty bo obtained for .$:I2 a pair
and shoeing costs 'little. Those
few who are now raising their
own colts find that much of the
forage and pasture consumed
would otherwiso bo unused (ind
say that few farms are so hea
vily stocked with dairy calile,
bee'f c.'ittle or sheep that there is
not grazing available for colls.
However, no one who is not
proyided ■ with ample pasture
should attempt to grow colts, say
tho livestock folks. This is essen
tial in keeping the- cost of .pro
ducing work animals at a low fi
gure and also to keep the young
animals in prime health ard vi
gor.

moved cat-like, smoothly, ■gracefully.
He liad the knack of wearing clothes

the blond curls, and the tan of his face

tov.'iird his wife.
“Where were you going v/ith
F;'.;iiv:e?” he demanded.' don't nt all mind tellin(! yon,” .'he
d. “We were going lo spond l;'..st
I. i on Barracuda Island. 'I'licn wc
Wi .-i’. going to some Bahama key and
Btiiy there.
“Forever?” he sneered.
“Until we became tired of it Until
I'd had time to think.”
“Well, you’re going to du i'.ijt tinit

“Upon mjr word of dishonor, then.
I'll kill him here and now unless you
№reo, without further word, to go
with me to Barracuda Island, to share
til« tent I'll erect there, to be minel’’
Faintly, far away, her voice sounded
as she made her decision,
"I'll go to Barracuda Island with
jroa,” »he said. ;Stevcni clapped his hands; a Fili
pino steward came running,
“Please tell Dr. Faunce I wish to
spealc to hisi,” said Stevens.Fannie aime at once, no fear, but
nn.'clety upon his face; worry, Lucy
knew, for her,
"My viif« and I,” said Stevens
CilSi.y, ■ .....I. our Ulilereiici;:..
And so. Doctor, I’m going to send you
lo .Miami, in the Minerva, while she
and I continue in a motor-boat, the
voyage that you and slie began. I
leave it to your own decision what ex
planation you may make, if any. It
would, of coiirse, sound plausible if
you staled tliat your motor-buat had
been lost in tlie storm, nnd thnt you
had been picked up by Mr, and Mrs.
Tim Stevens; honeymooning on tlieir cruising h-puse-boat, and coiilinüing
their honeymoon wllh a camping-trip
d (/ficr, on Barracuda Island, Any uhwitting injury you m.iy have in
tended doing a man who had never
injured you would bo balanced by such
n story, I think,”
He rose abruptly and went forward ;
they saw him enter the'j pilot-house
where Modane the skipper steered the
Minerva. Faunce looked at the girl,
“You , , . want this?” he asked.
She nodded, avoiding his eyes.
“Because, my child, if you don’t—”
he began.
She cut him short :
“Fergus, he’s my husband, and , . . I’m coming to my senses.”
She rose and walked away; already.
In obedience to orders given by
Stevens, the Minerva was losing way.
Members of the crew were swinging
outward the davits Where was slung a
motor-boat; stewards were placing
Mipplles in the boat. She entered the
pilot-house where Modane stood by
llie wheel. She held out her hand,
“I want to thank you. Captain, for
saving me,” she said, i
Modane glanced at Stevens,
“Why, ma’am, Mrs, .Stevens,
ma’am—”
Stevens slapped him on the back.
“Attaboy, Modane I Modest as any
sailor, my tarry salt of fiction. Well,
Mrs, Stevens is eternally grateful to ^ou for leaping into the water after
1er, and so am I, I’d be a widower
but for you, Modane, instead of a
bridegroom starting upon his honey
moon,”* « « *
It waa a busy afternoon that fol
lowed luncheon, Stevens had' no sug
gestions to make to her, bt'it he ac
cepted her aid. He chopped wood ; he
erected the tent, first clearing a spacc
for it back from tlie beach. He found
the spring which trickled in a tiny
stream to the se,i, and cleaned it out,
and sunk in it aluminum containers
which Iield butler and cheese. She
washed the dishes, put them in order,
stacked the stores beneath a tarpaulin
wliicii Stevens stretched between poles whicli he cliopped and sunk deeply in
the sand.
.“.How . . . long do ynn expcct to ¡■e-
niain here?” sho ¡nquired. To save lieriicU, she could not keep anxious timidity from her tones.
M;' sliniiîited c.'ireleisly.
". j.'i, I told M(Kla!;e t'.i drop by in
•T \vi':'k or 50. If we weren’t horc I
told iiini to cruise over lo tlie Baliumas
“Quite right,” she said. "Inasmuch
ns Paradise itself would be hell if you
were present, what diff^rcnco can U
make what we do or whore wc are?"
"That’s more like Devil-May-Care,
the high-spirited maiden whom 1
wooed and won,” he mocked her,
"Well, let's have some supper.”
Once again his manner becamo impersonal, iig(it-hearted, even gay, and
she was angrily iiumilialcd tliat she
took her tone from him. Why should
he have any power over her whatso
ever, even the power to make her
smile or frown? ♦
"Lucy,” he broke a 'long silence,
“do you hate me^' ______
^ou,” Saio,
did you marry inef"ho"Why
asked,
"I don't know just wily,” slie hon
estly replied,
"I do,” he told her,
“Then why?" sho iiinuircd,
“Because, as my wife, you could
hurt me more than in any other way.
And you did. To ruii away, to humil
iate me . . . Well, despite everytliiiig,
you are my wife, and I’ve caught, you,
and I liiivu you. You can’t get uway
from that, my dear,”
“No,” siie said flatly.
He reclined iifi'on the sand, prpppimj
his head ui> v/ith one hand, ills elbow
digging into the sand, and stared at her,
"You’ve ne\’er giic.iscd how desir
able you are, havo you, Lucy?”
“Men have asked me to marry
theni," she retorted,
“IJnt yon Ulidn’t ; you married me.
Do you know why?”
“You've just told me why,” .shq
said,
“Oh, tlial I That was the ininiediato
motivating impulse. But behind that, wasn’t it fate, Lucy?”
"Perliaiis,” she admitted,
“And fate, when it brings a man
and a woman together, means love,
doesn't it, Lucy?" he persisted.
She looked at him coldly,
"Don’t be a c.nd," she said, "Don't
try to instify yourself by persuading
yourself that, in .'■.(lite of everything.
I’m re.illy in love with you but haven t
found it out, Ite man enongh to do
what you intend witlionl excuse, Lovo
you? I, thi^ik you’re the most con
temptible thing' tlial brcatiies. Are you , satisfied?"
"Plentv,” he said. "And now, my
dear wile, will you please go to the tent and , , , wait for niel”
Well, she had proposed the game, '
made the rules, Interpreted them. And
siic had given her word, to save Fer
gus Fauiice from the dreadhil .anger
lhat could po.sses.s this man. She rose,
obediently, walked to the tent, entered
it, and the flap fell behind hen,
“Lucy," he called.
Her voice came back to him, clear,
unafraid, tinged with contempt. -
"Weil?"
"I wanted to tell you: you needn't
be afraid of me, I don't want you,
and never will want you. So far as
I’m concerned, iiiy girl, you may go
to hell and be damned forever.”
CHAPTER V
She understood now exactly why she had married Stevens. She had In
tended to reven.ge herself upon him by
making him a byworii for the niean-
liearted public tu laugh at. She had
not conip;'eliended her own motives,
but he had tlu'ni rloar to lier in

MORE DAIRY POINTERS
Two nows announcements' the past week
aré remarkably ihtoro.slinjr (ind more especial
ly so to tho,so who are talking and advocating
the idea offai'niers taking more interest in
dairying and the i-aising of more and bettor
breed.'.’ of dairy ciittlo, Tliese news dispatches
tell of the definite dccitiion of the Foremost
Dairie.s Inc., headed' by J. C,-Penney, of chain
storo fame, to locate one of its large creamery
j)huits in Albemarle, with a pick up station
:at Mocksvillo. The other story is about the
.purchase of tho Miliwain Dairy Fai-ni, seven
mile.s' from Charlotte, by S. DeWitt Arewood,
of New York City, at a cost of $70,000. The
fact that such big Ijusinos^r men as Mr. Are
wood are buying dairy farms right here in
Piedmont North Carolina, and the further fact
that the large.st dairy company in the .country
is so favorably impres.s'ed with the dairying
possibilities of this section as to tócate here
one of the large.st creamery iplants in the south
show.s* that thia section is coming to tho front,
It is of interest to note tho over increasing
interest which .Davio County, farmers are
taking in the raising of better breeds of dairy
cattle. About «ver.nvhero one goes the.se :days
in this .county he hears talk of dairying. It
will only be a matter of a few years when this
will ho the very icenter of the greatest grazing
o f i i i n r IM1 fV .o
SPEAKING OF THE PENNEY CREAMERY
PLANT.
Speaking of the decision of the Foremost
Dairies Inc. to establish another big creamery
plant in Piedmont North Carolina, the Gas
tonia Gazette haa thia to say:
Foremost Dairies, Inc., the organization
which is headed by J. C; Penney; head of
the chain store by that name, has entered
Stanly County and preparation.«? are being
.made for the construction of a big milk
plnrit in that county.
This orgnniiiati'on sees a big future for
the dairy buainesain the South and is tak
ing advantage of .every Opportunity to get
in on tho ground ‘floor. It has already ef
fected an organization in Cheater county.
It is in Mecklenburg and now enters Stan
ly county. It will go into any city or com
munity where the farmers and daiiymen
will guarantee a certain amount of milk
daily. 'I1i is a big organization and is
backed by the millions of Mr. Penne.v,
Such milk and creamery plants have
made two or three Tennessee counties
wealthy. Farmers in these 'I'enne'tisee
counties are the independently well-off.
' people in that , section and their money
waa made 'in the dairy business. Wiscon
sin and Minnesota farmers hold the great
er part of the wealth of those two Stfitea;
they have money on. deposit in the banks.
It is always the same story in the dairy
business. Thoae who go at it intelligently
and energetically, come out at the big
end of the horn. Saj*a Tho Charlotte Ob
server, Speaking of the coming to this aec-
tion of iporemost Dairiea, Inc.;
"The coming into thia aection of the.
Foremost Dairy Corporation could have .
meant nothing but big things ahead, and*
one inidi'ohtion has already cropped out
in eatabliahment of a plant in the reaouri
ceful locality of . Albemarle. This will
open a new well-spring of proaperity for
the Stanly County farmers."
That’a the idea exactly. And not only w ill,
it . help Stanly,’ but will help adjoining and;
nearby counties, especially Davie where, a s ,
we underatand, there is to be'eatabllahed'a;
pick up atation. It will mean that never again
will Davie County farmera stand in need of
a ready market for all the milk they can pro
duce, whether it be, little or much.- ------------------------o-----------------:------
“SOMETHING DIFFERENT.”
The other day the editor waa speaking of
owning a paper in Mocksvillo. “Oh yea," ro-
i|iarked the ijentleman to whom we were speak
ing, "that is the town which haa that pretty
little park right in the center of tho business
aection.” '
There you havo it,' friends. That’a just
what the Enterpri.se had in mind when urging
the authorities to fix up this beauty apot. You
remenibur we said an improvement would be
a greai; advertising asset to Mocksville, and
here we have a clear' cut ease. He remember
ed it bccause it had “something clilTerent.”
PICKING CANDIDATES—FOR DAVIE
I
Under tho head “Picking Candidates,” the <
Mecklenburg Times has tha following to say;
The result of the elvtion next yeiir^
means much to the future welfare of Meck
lenburg County and no .hasty ¡deciaions
should be made on the part of ofllce seek
ers or cltizena. It la a time for Serious
study of the conditions in the county so
that the voters may vote for the re-election
of the men most camabln of handing the
destiny of the county during the next term
of oflico.
We wonder just what would happen in
Davie County if the voters would study the
conditions of Davie County. We believe it
would result in the “election” of men that are
most capable of handlini; the destiny of the
county during the next term of ofllce. Folks,
let’a .“ftudy the conditiona closely before we
cast another vote.
RESTORING EXCESS TAXES
Tho cut of $160,000,000 in income taxes
ia not only good ne.vs to income taxpayers, but
in harmony with the insistent Democratic po
licy of making a surplus tho bari^ of tax re
duction whenever the future outlook justifies
it.
It should be remembered, iiqwever,' that it
ia alao a confo.s'-.ion by the administration thal
it lias boen collecting more money than tho
.needs of government require, despite the ra
pidly and heavily increasing e.xipeniditures of
the late and present administrations.
The tax reduction of 1929 simply means
that the income taxpayers will get back a part
of the money for which thoy were overtaxed
in 1928.
At the same time It has been pointed out,
the administration Republicans are seeking to
put many times that amount of taxes on tho
consuming public through sujiport of the
Smoot-Hawley.. tariflf.
—-------------:--------0—---------------------
REPUBLICAN “ECONOMY BUDGETS.”
President' Hoover’s ih'st budget calls for
$4,102,938,700 for 1931, exclusive of ])ostal re
ceipts' and expenditures, which i.s the highest
amount asked for in ipeace times with the ex
ception of the years immediately' following
the world war.
.. T'his, of Course, takes no account of sup
plemental appropriations, Congress has de.
dared against supplemental appropriations but
tho late Republican administrations went right
on asking for tliem—and getting them. '
Whether Congress will jdeal with Mr.
Hoover’s “constmctive econonriy” as it did with
Mr. Coolidge’s remains to be 'seen.' It Avas al
most the invariable practico of Conigreas to
lapp ^off some millions ,^rom Mr, Coolidge’s
“economy, budgets,’: апШ the saving.to the tax- -.-.«•»«»Л n I . Vlir« >1

A LETTER FROM SHANGHAI
C. P. 0. Box No. 1234,
Shanghai, China
Oct. 30th, 1929
Dear Editor, '
Christma.s is coming boforo long
when ipeople feel ns much like
children as -they over do, and
think as much about them, so lot
mo toll you a bit a'bout my kiddy
‘Chinks’ and my work among
tliom.
Soon after coming to China I
M'ont with a missionary to seo nn '
idol temple. Tho missionary proa-
chcd to the Buddhist priests. They
didn’t seem impressed with the
Message. The missionary aaid to
me, “rhere' is not much hope for
these old priests. Thoy are con
firmed idol- worshipers.” I was
surprised' at hia remark, feeling '
God’s I-Ioiy Spirit could convert'
even the hardened priests. Leav- j
ing the temple we had to pass '
thro a great gate-house. In it
wero four huge idol “gate-keep
ers,” fierce, savage, ' ugly, with
hands up-raised ready to strike
any who might displease - them.
'I’hey did strike terror into a littlo
child whose mother was bringing
it into the temple to worship. As
wo wero passing by the littlo ono
was screa-'iing with fright; but
the moth»”- put the woe one’s hand
up and made it go thro the acts
of worship in spite, of its terror.
Then I realized why the Chinese
were confirmed, idolaters. They
are taught to worship idols even
when babies. And I saw that
our hope of - winning 'China '«'as
not in 'preaching to the priests,-
tho that must not be neglected;
but w'as in getting the children
So, as soon as I could talk-ChinesD
nnd a missionary lady suggested
starting a Ragged Sunday School
•for tho street kiddies not far from
her homos I was ready to help.
She ask the dairyman 'if we could
have it in his shed. He'coTisented,
so we began our first Ragged S.
S, Crowds of little people came.
How they did delight to sing, "Ya-
su-ai-ngo” (Jesus Loves Me).
Many of that cow-shed Sunday
School came to love JoSus and be

When, I 'Came to Shangai, and
wont about preaching, children a
plenty wero on the streets. I ro-
membeT that Sunday School and
'Wanted these “yaller”- people to
have the same joys. I rented a'
room and started fi Sunday School
with no pupils! I. stood inside and
sang, “Jesus Loves Me.”, Children
came to the door. I was glad and

■for home a.s fast (is ;tlioir legs
could carry them! They had heard
that foreigners use eyes. and
■hearts of Chinese children to
make medicine for Wostern child

ple came tq listen.' The wee, ones
took courage and pee/ped in. I talk
od of .Jesus ,tod His love for little
and big people, and gave, the kid
dies cards, asked them to como a-

I would give them 'all cards. Next

E. D. Bowdijich was recently ap
pointed as county, agent in Clay
Cou'nty. '. • /
nut in his message even a word
of rebuke for the processes ty;^-
fiod by thé Bingham- Epanson epl
sode, by which tho Smopt-^IIawloy
rate's were arrived at.
, “In these circumstances we may
look forward to another long fight
before a tariff bill is enacted, and
it là a flip of a coin whether any
bill is forthc.omi'ng or whether ho
will sigh or veto the result of the
prospective struggle—if there Im
any result. ' -
"Had,tho President disiplayed
any leadership, this 'melancholy si
■tuation could not have persisted.
Hlsf„.press agents co'ntlnue to in
sist tnat he is more in accord
with the coalition’s progi'am than
with tho production that came
\vith his consent. This is merely
in order , that whatever the out

Raleigh, Dec. 16.—Because a-
'lout onorh.'ilf “^0 weight af fresh
ly cut woo'd is water, ovory farm
'iK'C.l? a good wood shed under
which, the fuel wood may dry and
season before used in the home.
"A good wood shed on, every
,Xarm will mean timber conserva
tion and ICS'S labor expended i-n
cutting'and prijparing thei'annual,
wooo supply,” , says R. W. Grae-
'ber, .extension forester at , State
College. "'Dry, well-seasoned wood
is an efficient fuel. It will lighten
the work of the houso-wife and
will .pay liberal idividends to tho
water there is in tho wood, the'
less: heat it will throw off, bo-
lau’se considerable of the heat
'nurgy is used to boil the water
and change it to'steam.”
Ая a 'basis for this- 'argument,
Mr. Braeber uses figures recently
secured from investigations in
nother state. .These figures show
that when flrst cut, about o'tlo-
half the weight of wood is wrttor
A cord of red oak, when freshly
cut weighs about 5,000 pounds or
about 2Уз tonf About onO-half
of this is water. Thus is se'en the

therefore, after six months of

MILLSAPS RESIGNS JCK
HELD t)UAKTEK CENTURY
Raleigh, Dec.'(>.—B. S. Millsaps
county and dir.trict agent of the
Agrluuli.ural E.'cU'iisiun Service
of State College for''il period of
twenty-one years, has resigned
his position as district agent of
the Pie'dimont ,difftrict, effe'ctive
Ddcember 31. v
“Mr. Milisaps began farm de
monstration work when the idea
was new,” says Dean I. 0. Schaub,
director of the extension service.
“He fferved faithfully as a county
agent and when additional funds
were appropriated and the work
was extended, he was promoted
to have charge of the Piedmorit
area. He began hia service to the
farmers of this state on March
23, 1908 and when his resignation
becomes efrective on December 31,
he will have served for a period
of 21 years, nine months and eight
days. During all of this long time^
he has 'been faithful in the per
formance of his dutie.“?. Not only
was he succesfrful in securing the
type of man as county agent, but
he has also given of himself Ur
beraliy in promoting the aims and
purposesof our organization."
In a letter to Mr. Milisaps, ac
cepting his resignation. Dean I.'
0. Schauh made it clear that the
veteram extension worker retires
with the respect and good wished
of the entire organization. "You
can' well feel proud' of your re
cord," said the iDean/’ I am aure
that the 'best wishes of every ex
tension worker goes with you now
that you are withdrawing from
s'erviee." Mr. Schauh also aaid that
Mr. Milisaps has shown judgment
and foresight in selecting men to
fill the difilcult job as county a-
gent. Many of those so selected
have been at work tn one county
without interruption for a period
of ten years ; or more. Largely
through their eirort.-r, the failin g
nractices of tho piedmont are'a
have been remade.
While Mr. Millsnips’ general
health is still good he is suffer
ing from a dticided tremor of tho
hand aind arm caused by an ac-'
cident in 1915.

-A Good
Washington, Dec. IG—A partial
report by Senator Brookhart of
Iowa, Chairman, and Senator Mq-
Kellar, of Tennessee, comprising
a sub-committee to investigate
the alleged sale of public offices
in the South, in this instance
dealing specifically with Texas, il.
lustrates' the up-to-date business
methods of yib Qj. 0. P. under tho
system developed by the financial
■wizards of the party who special
ize in the 'collection of campaign
funds' and the liquidation of defi
cits. ,
It appoars from the report that
the appointees gnve their promis
sory notes payable i|t stated in
tervals. The report calls the me
thod . “coercive,” and likens the
transaction to putting the offlce
holder ‘in the seemingly apparent
position of paying off a mortage
on his Federal position.
This may seem a harsh judgr
ment in view of the long establish
ed nnd aipiparently appi-oved' me
thod of the party in disposing of
offlces and collecting campaign
funds. A more, charitable view
would be that the party managers
have ad’opted the more modern
progress tactics of employing
highpowered sales'men to sell the
goods on the instalment plan anc(
thua keep the "wheels of iparty
prosperity constantly turning. '
By this means the 'iioorer and
humbler mf.'mber.'r of the party
áre enabled to share in party
spoils iiloiiff with the rich and'
bloated tarifi beneliciary who is
requirod to pay .cash in advance
and then is eompcjllod to rely on
a “Joe” Grundy or- an Eyanson
to see that the goods are deliver-
ed. In tho cafro of the southern,

by Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D,
People of simular thought have
the habit of coming tog;ether to

common Interest. , \Both .'id'anger

Tho call to 'wbtship .^iiouia; bo

unites peoples of idifferen't races,
for God ia being known and .loved
werywhere. Race prejudice
ceases as we unite sincerely in
singing “Praise God from whom
all blesBinga flow; Praise Him, all
creatures here below.” At the
Convention‘Of the World’s Sun
day School Association held in
Zurich, 1913, anid in' Los Angeles,
1928, the entire audience prayed
together in their own langua'ge
our Lord’s Prayer. Fifty nations
were repreeented at the Los An

SCIENCE SUSTAINS MOSES AGAÎN
“And I will harden Pharach’a heart, and itiuU
tiply my siigina and my wonders in the land df
Egypt.’'Eke/doi's 7:5. .
‘ That vraa the record which, Moses made, arid
which has been'handed down to us'through the
Insp'irod Word. ' Anid' now cbines 'along Science,
thait.mofft h'elpfurhandniaiden of the Almighty,
, and', literally iproves that Pharach’s heart was
really and trully hardened. The heart has
been taken from the mummy of ,Ram6ses II by
English scieintists', an'd' it was found as hard
as stone. Moreo'vor, these scientists believe
from certain chemical compositions found in
this hard heart, tliat it \Vas hardened, during
life, and more remarkable still, they believe
that such a hardening would be likely to pro-
id'uce just such a condition of cruelty in tho
victim as that exencised by Pharach toward
the enslaved lRi;oelites. Again tho old Book
is sustained-^literally sustained—by modern
science. As wo ¡ have heretofore said, true
science has no tendency to repudiate the idea
of li Supreme Boingi Rather as it from time
to, time.rovoals new troubles, or verifies old
truthea, it tends magnifies God. Science ob
scures God only to the 'person, of mediocre
mentality and littleness of soul.

SPEAKING OF LUCK
A queer thing happened in Chicago the other
night. Two crooks entered a man’s home while
he iw*hB out and made a thorough Efearch for
valuables. Just as they had finished, the own
er of' the home came in. "You are juat in time,”
they, said to him. "Have you any money?” He
had $38, and they took that and left. They
had found mothihg of especial value or inter
est to them. Luck waf? with them,,but that was
terrible luck which tho owner of the hpme had.
Speakinig of luck, some folks just seem to be
born lu'cky. The other day a man was talldng of
a 'Certain, fellow who was endorser on another
man’s note. The ’principal went broke and a
number of others' who hn:d endorsed his ilotes
had to pay them. The man, speaking, got burn
ed to the extent that he recognized that ‘‘a man
void of understanding strikoïli and becometh
sujioty in tho pre.?ence of his friends.” But the
lucky fellow, just through luck in a'tratíe, got
his, noté and s'aved himself and made a good
hefty iproflt. "That fellow,” the lucky man said,
“never had' anything but the best of lupk. If
he should bo so unfortunate as to go to Hádese, •
the fire would happen to go out jurt before he
got there.” And that would be some luck, we chould say.
PRAISES DR. KNIGHT’S BOOK
In a twelve hundred word review of Dr. Ed
gar knight a bopk, "Education in tho United
States,” Dr. William McAndrew, formerly sup
erintendent of schools of New York City, and
Editor of the Bduicational Review, snys it is, "A
brilliant light on American public schools.” Dr.
McAndrew further tolls his readers tJiat, "If
you do not thank mo for recommending to you
an unusually profitH'blo 'piece of reading, it will
be because you fail to take my advice which
is to po'ruse the whole of Edgar Knight’ff essay
upon American schools. ,Dr Knight ha.s the
dramatist’s sense of movement, the biograph-
•er’s in.stinct for personality, the historian’s nat-
ience in laberoua search through archives.
There is no history of education con'cerned
with American schools that approaches this in
animation, movement and oplc quality.”
A pretty nice compliment, we should say for
one of such ability and reputation to pay a
member of our great state University’s faculty,
and doubtless there was no exaiggeration, We
have'been watching, the career of Dr. Knight
with more than oi'fdinary interest, and we have
been, predicting that there was'a man to be
heard from in a big way in the educational
world of tho future. This is not intended as
cheap flattery, but is a true outbursfr coming as
a result of seeing a home man of merit makinw
himself felt in tho nation. Every Tar .Heel
should be prouid of such men as Dr. Knight.
Were he in New England, he would have been
iarnoue' long ago. ■

THAT SIMMONS INFLUENCE
Senator Simmons, who turned against his
own party candidate and supported Herbert
Hoover for the presidency, seems to hold little
influence with his republican president. Wo
had been told that the frenior North Carolina
senator would stand in with Hoover, since he
had been la.rgely instrumental in .carrying this
state for him at the last election. But he
doesn’t seem to be able to secure a single ap
pointment for a North Carolinian, either re-
.'putblican or democrat. The Maxwell case is
another clear cut examiple of Simmons’ influ
ence with President Hoover. '

BUT THESE DAVIE COOKS
The American Research Foundation sends
out a menu for Christmas dinner aTOregating
a layout of only $4.90. Here it is, with the^oat
of each article going Into the dinner makeup:
"Roast Goose, $2.60; consomme, 16 cents;
celery, 16 cents; beets, 18 cents; string beans,
18 cents; rice stufflng, 40 cents; iprune salad,
30 cents; rolls anti margarine, 20 cents; cof
fee and cream, 20 cents; and pumpkin pie, 40
cents.”
Doubtless the American Resiearch Founda
tion congratulated itself on planning such a
sumptuous dinner for .only $4.96, but we ve-n-
ture the assertion that there are hundreds of
Davie county housewives who could put that
scientific organization to shame when it comes
to planning a real meal, and' 'at a minimum
cost. The fame of. Davie county women as
cooks has gone I out over the state, due to the
big .annual picnic dinners which, they have
been'serving for more than a score of years,
each August, There 'are no flnet cooks on earth
than theso icalHng Davie county their home.

farming AND INDUSTRY
What hard-surfaced roads and motor trans
portation mean to the farmer is illustrated in
the report on wheat growing in'Ohio by Char
les M.'Fritz, Grain' Exchange Suipervisor of the
Ü. S. Gqverment.i' Mr. Fritz points out that the
longest haul from the field to elevator is eight
miles. .'That round trip' was a day's journey
for a loaded horso-drawn. team, carrying from
60 to 100 bushels ove{• the old dirt roads. Now
motor trucks make it over iconcrete highways
in two to three hours, carrying 86 to 160 bush
els at a load arid without having to wait for the
road to dry out.
■Farmin'g, at least in' the staple crops, is bc;
coming more and more a busitess an:d less a
mode of living, as President Hoover once put
it, Henry Ford maintains that all, of the farm
ing operations necessary for the production of
any of the great staple crops can be done on
sixty days workimg time each year, with proper
mechanical equipmenit and transportation fac
ilities. On his own 5,000-acre farm in Michi
gan he has pretty well 'demonstrated the truth
of that.
With the extension of- electric service into ,
smaller an'd smaller:communities manufactur
ing industries are spreading over .thé country
So, that the time may come when nobody who
wants tà work in industry will ;have more than
« dozen miles to travel belAveen farm ami facr
tory. When that time comes farmers will spe
cialize on single craps adapted to their locali
ties and individual tastes, and work in town a
good part of tho year. Cooperative marketing
organizations will attend to the shipping and
selling, perhaps also the harvesting of crops.
The American farmer, alrea'dy the most inde
pendent of men, will be still farther removed
from tho European peasant hopelessly tied to
the soil,

WHY WHISKEY HURTS
Winston-Salem Journal,
After all is said, the surest and most ofTec-
tive weapon with which to combat the liquor
evil is education as to its eiTects and resulta.
This country is now living under prohibition.
Prohibition was mado possible because of the
long 'process of e'ducation that .preceded it, and
Rsneciallv as it .was carried out in the schools
through_textboolra on health and hygiene which
emphasized the toxic effects of whiskey.
Now that prohibition is a national law, there
is still need for educational work. Surely there
would be less drinkingr, if the people who drink
understood the beneful effects of liquor. Dr,
Poteat, president emeritus of Wake Forest Col-
lege, took occafJidn ono day last weeli to speak
to the-students ttbout the effects of whiskey.
Ho was not “preaching.” On the 'contrary he
was speaking as a scientist. What he said is
well worth repeating bore,
“Some whiskey may be better than others,
dependinig upon its constituents, but all of it is'
noisonoua,” said the scientsit. Many' ])eo|jlo
have delusions regarding whiskey as a beneficai
stimulus, that it sharpens one’s wit. In reality
booze takes ofl’ the 'brakes, 'giving boldnesf? and
reaklessnoss full sway,-untem’pered by the finer
graces which have marked the recent progress
of our civilization.
"Another delusion, is that when a man. gets
cold whiskey will warm him up, I'he distribu
tion of ,blood in one’s body is controlled by a
nerve center at the base of the ibrain. When
that center is deadenpd, the cells of the .skin
dilate and blood comes to the surface. While
the consumer thimks he ia warm, his temper
ature in' vital arears is greatly reduced. This
explains why most people whp freeze on the
roadside are usually those who have had a
drink. ' , • :
“Alcohol is a tissue poison,, It has.a ten'den-
cy to coagulate the protoplasm of cells. It is a
distinct racial poison, having an .affinity for
gum cells and reproductive organisms, ^yhiskey
is not a food as son^i think. Although it has
been, known'to chanK'i-the distribution of Mood
in case of pneumonia anid typhoid fever, its use
is dangerous as it'd(/ troys bodily tissues. Man
banish whi.skey frol. the face of the earth or
it will banish him.’{1' ' •
LIGHTLESS VEHICLES
Lexiwgton Dispatch ,
Death of a Newsom nian a few
nights ago when two unllghted
autom'obiles ran together on a
highway is merely another proof
of- the deadly danger of operating
any kind of unliffhteid' vehiclos on
our roads at nights.
Those who operate unlighted ve
hides on public highways at
nights naturally dÈloend on the
lights of other vehicles to pro
tect them. When two vehicles
whose drivers had the same
thought mefr't the result is likely
to be ghastly.
In this particular cage there
may be miti'gatimr circumstances
and for the benefit lof the idrivers
of the b'vo vehicles invnlnd it is
hoped this is true. But this is not
the brst time that an unlighted
vehicle, on a Davidson CiOunt,v
highway ;has brought death to
someone. No leS than four deaths
have resulted from this cause on
one ten-mile stretch of highway in
tho county within the ipast 'three
or four years. A number of in
juries to perso.n.'i nn!d' damagn to
property havQ:resulted firom other
accidents by improper or no lights
at all. _ \
When "vehicles’' 'are spoken of
not merely motor vehicles are in
mind. There is a' manifest dispo
sition on the of many who
drive wagons \>r buggies^ to dis
regard the law that provides for
carrying lights. Drivers of theso
vohiclofi merely court injury or
;death to themselves and destru.c-
tion of their property. And there
Is little prosipect of legal ,relief
in case of accidein't. so far as the
operator of 'an unlighted vehicle
is concerned,---------------------------------

FELLOWSHIP THROUGH WOR
SHIP
Psalm 122:1-9; Hevrews 10:33-23
Psalm 133 :l-9; Heprews 10:22-25
by Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. i).
People of simular thought have
the habit of coming together to
consider the matters which are of
common interest. \Bcith idanger
and joy produce feast assfemblag-
es. There iff no greater aippeal for
oneness than in our belief in God.
From the beginning of record He
has been Worshiped both in pri
vate and public. ' We delight to
honor n friend with our presence
and this is especially true when
•we have regard for our ^ best
Friend. The Scripture passages
for intensive study this week are
Nehemiah 8:1-12; Micah 4:1-2;
Psalm 122:1-9 Matthew 28:18-20:
Hebrels 10:1925.
T'he call to worship should be
acknowlekige 'by every one who
is so richly blessed from the Most
High G'od. King as well as' peas-1
ant should respond. It was King
David who wrote the fellowship
hymn that was used, with others
in the Hailes, as the Jews went'up i
to Jerusalem for their annual |
feasts. They were acting out
what they would sing on route:.
“I waa glad when they aaid unto,
mo, let ua go unto the house of
Johovali.” They were ffuiting ac
tion' to the word;
Whether it bo in church or syn-
'agogue,'it is God ^Vho is aoulght by
those who 'come to worship and
lie will ibe found by them as they,
aro sincere in'heart. People of
ten cry out in diatreaa' because of'
thoir loneliness. This need not
continue when they are ready to
come together )n s'piritual fellow
ship as they make use of the same
throne of grace. Such fellowship
unites peoplea of idiflcerent races,
for God is ibeing known and .loved
everywhere. Race prejudice
ceases as we unite sincerely in
singing “Praise God from whom
all blessings flow; Praise Him, all
creaturea here below.” At the
Convention of the World’s Sun
day School Association held in
Zurich, 1913, artd in' Los Angeles,
1928, the entire audience prayed
together in their own language
our Lord’s Prayer, Fifty nations
were represented at the Los An
geles iconvention. It was' truly
"Fellowship Through Worship,”
In Hebrews the exhoration ia
‘‘not 'foi;8aking our own asaembl-
inig'together,” Much is lost to
every individual who makes excus
es and allows himself to remain
away at the hour of worship. So
ciety needs the uplift from the
church and' that gives an added
obligation for personal and loyal
r.'ti:nnort of this institntion. The
Golden Text .calls attention to tho
example of Jesus, when, he went to ,
his local synagogue: "He entered
as his custom was, into the syna
gogue on'the .»abbath day,” Luke

SNOW BLANKET COVERS.
DAVIE
A snowfall that registered
more than three inches brought
the Setting for a Christmas “of
the days gone by” to Mocksville
nnd Davie county Sunday.' Mixed
with the snow was enough sleet
and hail to bind it into a covering
that was hard and fast.
The snow began, falling early
Sunday morning and in a short
time the ground and buildings
were white, T'he downfall con
tinued all day,' the snow letting
up only long enough for hail and
sleet to get in a little destructive
work. The storm continued until
sometime Sunday night,*

lina has more children to edu'cate
than, either of its three bordering
statesi Virginia, Tennessee and
Squth Carolina, it is learned to
day from the’oflilce of State De
partment of Pulblic Instruction.
According to the flnal records
of 1927-28 this State had 848,778
'children enrolleld' in Its public
sc^iools, whereas Tennessee, the
nearest rival, had 80 per cent aa
many, G76,421. Virginia had dur
ing the same year an enrollment
of 563,717, 65 per cent of the
North Carolina enrollment; and
South Carolina' enrolled 476,276
children in its public schools or
50 per cent as many as' North
Carolina.
According to the recowla for
this same year, Virginia .children
attend school .better than North
Carolinians. Wliereaa 79 Virgin
ia pupila out of every 100 enroll
ed attend achool every day, only
75 North Carolina boya and girls
nut, of each 100 enrolled make this
record'. The North Carolina per
centage, hewer, is bettor than
that made by either Tennessee or
South Carolina.
South Carolina, on the other
hand, it waa pointed out, has the
largest percentage of its white
enrollment in high school, 1.G5
per cent. North Carolina ranks
second in .this respect among,
those four states with 15.3 per
cent of its total white enrollment
in high school. Virginia has 14
per cent of its white enrollment
in high school, and Tennessee 11
percent.
This factor of percentage of
enrollment in high school ia cloae-
ly related lo per pupil coats of
education and number of pupils
per teachoT, educational ofllcials
further point out. For example,
Tennesaee with the lowest per
centage of white pupils in high
school, has nn average teaching I
load of 36, .whereas South Garo-|
iina with the highest percentage
in high school has an average
teaching load of only 28. Virgin
ia has an average of 31 pupils per
teacher' employed, and North
Carolina 32, in all white schools.

AGE And AWAY WITH
THE SURPLUS
TO THE FARM ORGANIZATION
BANKERS AND CHAMBERS
OF COMMERCE
We want every farmer in Davie
County to read the following let
ter from theChaniborofCommerce
of Frederiuk, Oklahoma, v ,
was mailed to 1,500 Banks, Farm
Organizations and Chambers of
Commerce thruout tho Cotton
States and which is right along
the lin(i' with what we have been
trying to say. to you for some time.
iRead it very closely and then turn
the paper over to some .friend and
ask him to read.^and Jielp.you car
ry out thia instruction. The letter
followa: I
' We solicit: your co-operation
in. a cotton reduction campaign,
which we believe ia the be.st way
to assiat o ur -Federal Farm Board
.in their work to raise the cotton
industry to the standard of other
Induatries. . ,
As you know, when tho govern
ment issued its cotton acreage re'^
port the flrst of last July of ap
proximately forty nine million
acres, the price of cotton started
, down, and this crop has been sold
for from three to four cents a
pound less than laat year, altho
we will not produce more than
five or aix - hundred thousand
bales more than last year, accord,
ing to the final fe'overnments esti
mate of December 9th.
Now if you want our cotton
mills and every other industry of
this Southland of ours to HUM,
lets wipe out this surplus of cot
ton, So oUr farmers can have a
¡profit in what they have to sell.
To.increase the farmers ibuying
.newer means profit in every linr
of business. Our Cooperative
! Associations thruout’ the ■' South
' have thousands of bales of cotton
' on hand, and if we do our purt in
this campaign, we have no doubt
; aa to thé outcome of the remaind-
'er of this crop,
I lS[ow if we bankers, farmei's and
I merchants sit idly by and let the
south plant from forty-flve to fifty
million acres of cotton, and all
gi'owing conditions are favorable,
we will produce eighteen or twen
ty million bales of cotton next
,vear, and it will mean bankruptcy
and poverty for the maases of our
peo])le, and yeara of hard work to
get ourselves back on a aound
buainess basis.
Every other industry, such a-
coal, lumber, copper, petroleum,
textiles, and many othera we
could name, curtail thoir produc
tion when the supply exceeda the
demand. There is no reason why
we people of this great south
land of ours could not join hands
with tho excellent leadership we
have in our Federal Farm Board
and help raiae the standard of
the cotton farmer to a level of
other lines of buaineas.
We are writting a letter similar
to thia to one banker' in each
county in the cotton st^iitea.. We
ask you to take it uij i^lth all the
bankers in your coun^k urging

that most helpful handnialden of theAlmightyi
and literally iproves'¡that Pharach’s heart was
really and trully hardened. The heart has
been taken from the mummy of Rameses II by
English scientists', and' It vras found'as hard
as stone. Moreover, these' scientists believe
from certain chemical compositions found in
■ this hard heftvt, that it was hardened during
life, and more remarkable still, the'y believe
that such a haraening would bo likely to pro
duce just, .such a wohdition of cruelty in the
victim as that exercised by Pharach toward
the enslaved IfrrqólitOi>ii |Again tho old Book
is siistainod—llttìrallyi" sustained—by modern
science. As we have‘';horetofore said, true
ficierice' hits no ton'denòy' to repudiate the idea
of a Supremo Being. Rather as, it from time

; : A que'or thing happened in Chicago the other '
night. T'.vo in'ooks entered a man’s home while
he was out and made a thorough Search for
valuables. Ju«t as they had finished, tho pwn-
er of the homo came in. "Vou are just in time,"
they anid to him., "Have you any money?” He
had' $38, _and ' they took that and loft, j They
had found .inofhiag of especial value or.Hnter-
est to them; M wafi with them, but that,waa
terrible lu'ck which the owner of the home had.
Speakiwg.'of'fluçk, some folks jiist seem to be
born lucky. The.other day a man wus talking of
a certain fojioi^iwho was endorsei; on ano'ther
naan's noter/The principal went broke and'a
number of 'oih'erg who liad endQ-rsed his notes '
had to pay them.' The man cpéftki^g,,got burn
ed to;the extent that ho recognized ijhat "a man
void of understanding strlketh ai^ki beeometh
surety in the presence çf his,friends.” But the
lucky .fellow, just through'luck’'in a trade, got',
his note and .s'ave'd himself and, made a 'good
hefty profit. "That fellow,” the lucky man said,
"never ha.d‘ anything but the bent of hick.', Ii ,
he should bo so unfortunale as to go to Madese,
the fire would happen to go out jiist before he
got there.” And that would be some luck, we

In a twelve hundred word review of Dr. Ed
gar knight a boolc, "Education in the United
States,” Dr. William McAndi^w,-formerly sup
erintendent of schools of New York City, and
Editor of the EJdliicatioi^ial it is, “A
brilliant light on Amerii^jin puMic'schools.’’ Dr.
McAndrew further tells his readers that, "If
you do not thank me for recoti^ending to you
an unusually profitiiibln ipiece’il'i-j^^ejidinw, it will
be because you fail to tako my’advice which
is to peruse the whole of Edgpr Knight’s essay
upon American »chools. D)' Knight has thc
dramatist’s sense of movement, the biograph-
er'F instinct for personality, the historian’s pat
ience in laberou.s search through archives.
Thei’e is no history of education concerned
with American schools that aoproaches thi.s in
animation; ,4novement and wplc quality.”
A pretty nice compliment, wo s'hould say for
one of such a))ility and reputation to pay a
member of our great state University’s faculty,
and doubtless there was no exalggeration. We
havo been watching tlio career, of Dr. Knight
with more tVvan ortWiiary interest, and we.haVjO
been predictimg that there was a , m/in to be
heard from in a big way in the educ{\tioinil'
world of tho future. This is not iiii,bhdod as
cheap flattery, but is a true outburst coming as
a result of seeing a home man of merit makinig
himself felt in the nation. Every Tar Heel'
should be proud of such men as. Dr. Knight.

Hoover for tho presidency, seems to hold little ,
influence with his republican president. We
had. been toid that tho senior North Carolina

had been largely instrumental in carrying this

doesn’t seem to he able to secure a single ap
pointment for a North Carolinian, either re-

another clear cut examiple of Simmons’ influ

The American Research Foundation sends
out n menu for Chi'istmas dinner, a'ggregating
a layout of only $4.90. Here it is, with the'cost
of each article going into .the dinner makeup:
“Roast Goose, $2.00; consomme,- 15 cents;
celery, 16 cents; beets, 18 cents; string beans,
18 cents; rice, stuffing, 40 cents'; iprune salad,
30 cents; rolls and' margarine, 20 cents; cof
fee and cream, 20 eents; and pumpkin pie, 40
cents.” .
Doubtless the American Research Founda
tion congratulated itself on planning such a
sumptuous dinner .for only $4.96, but we ven
ture -the .assertion that there are hundreds of
Davie county housewives who could put that
scientific Organization to shame when it comes,
to planning li ■real meal, and' ai a minimum
cost. . The fame of Davie county women.as
cooks, has jpone out oyer the state, due to the
big.iannual picnic diniiers which they have
been serving for more than a score of years,

. .■ What hard-surfaced roads and motor trans'-
pprtiition.mefiii to the farmer is illiistrated in
the report ,on wheat growing in Ohio by Char-,
les M. Fritz, Grain Exchange Suipervisor of tho
U.'S,, Goybrment, Mr, Fritz 'points out that the
lo n g e st .h au l from the field to elevator is eight
miles. .That round trip ■\vas a day’s journey
for a loaded horse-drawn team, carrying from
60 to 100 bushels over the old dirt roads. Now
motor trucks make it O'ver ¡concrete high.ways
ih two to three hours, carrying 86 to 160 bush
els ata load an(^without having to wait for the
road to dry out. _ ‘
. Farming, at least in’ tho staple crops, is bo-
, coming more and more a bu8in.t'3s arid leas a
mode of living, as President Hoover once put
it. Henry Ford maintains that all of tho farm
ing oporations necessary fAr tho production of
any of thei great staple .crdps can be done on
sixty days workinig time each year, with proper
mechanical equipment and transportation fac
ilities. On his own 6,b00-acro farm in Michi-'
■ gan he has protty well 'demonstrated .the truth
of that. ,
With tho extension of . electric service into
smaller and smaller communities manufactur
ing industries are spreading oyer the coiihtry
so that«', the, time may come when n.obody who
wants to work in .industry will have more than
a dozen miles to travel between farm and fac
tory. When that timo comes,farmers will çpo-
cializo on single, craps a.da'ptod to their locali-,
ties and individual tastes, and work in town a
good part of the year. Cooperative marketing
organizatipna will attend to tho shipping and,
selling, perhaps also the harvesting of.crops.
The American farmer, already the most inde
pendent of men, will be still farther removed
from tho Européen peasant hopelessly tied to
the soil.
‘ WHY WHISKEY HURTS
Winston-Salem Journal. '
After all is siiid,' the surest and most effec-
tive weapon with which to combat the liquor
evil is education as to its effects, and results.
Thia country is how living under prohibition.
Prohibition was made possible because of the
long'process of ediieation that iprecoded it, and
ps'iéciíillv ás it was earried out in the schools
through textbbokH on health and hygiene which
emphasized tho toxic effects'of-whiskoy.
Now that prohibition is a national law, there
is still neod for educational work, Sui'oly there
would be less drinkin'g if the people who drink
urideratood the beneful eifects bf liquor. Dr.
Poteat, president emeritus of Wake Forest iCol-'
iege. took occasion one day 'last week to speak
to the students about the ofTo’cts of whiskey.
He wa.s not “preaching.” On the (contrary ho
was speaking as n scientist. What he aaid ia
well worth repeating here.
"Some whiskey may bo better than others,
(’.eiieivdinig upon its constituents, but all of it is
noisonous,” said the scientsit. Man.y people
have delusions regarding whiskey aa a Kenefical
stimulus, that it sharpens one’s wit. In reality
booze takes off the 'bralces, .giving boldnesfi and
ro'cklessness full away, untom'pered by the finer
graces which have marked the recent progress
of our civi'Iization.
“Another delusioni is that when a man gets
cold whiskey will warm him up. , T'he distribu
tion of blood'in one’s body is controlled by a
Tin'rve center at the base of tho 'brain. When
that center is deadened, the colls ,of the skin
dilato, and bloorl comes to the surface. While
the consumer thinks he is warm, his temner-
aturo" in' vital arears is. greatly reduced. This
explains why most people who freeze on the
roadside aro usually, those v/ho have had a
drink.. ■’
."Alcohoj is,a 'iissue poison. It has a ten'den-
«y to coagulate the protoplasm of cells. It is a
distinct racial poison, having an affinity for
)3tum coll? and reproductive organisms. Whiskoy
is not^a.food as some think. Although it has
been, known'to change tÚe distribution of blood
in case of pneumonia and typhoid fever, its use
is dangorou.« as it destruya bodily tifisucs. Man
banish whiskey from the face of the earth or
it will banish him.” I

i|i of a Nciysom mah: a few
' ago when two unli'ghted
>bilos ran together on a
ly is m.erely. another proof
of the deadly danger of operating
any kind Df unli.trhte'di vehicles on
our roads at nights.
Those who operate unlighted vo
hides on public highways at
nights natuTally dtipend on the
lights of other vehicles to pro
tect them. .When two vehicles
whose drivers had the same
thought mof't the result is likely
to bo ghastly.
In this particular case there
mav be mitiipatinir cii’cumstances
and for the.b6.nefit of the drivers
of the invo vehicles involed it is
hoped this is true. But this is not
the brst timo that an unlighted
vehicle, on a Davidson Cjounty
highw.ay has brought 'death to
someone. No loi^ than four deaths
have resulted from this cause on
one ten-mile stretch of highway in
the county within the ipast three
or four years. A number of in
juries to per8o.ns and' damage to
pronerty have resulted firom other
accidents by improper or no^ lights
at, ail. . ' . _ i
When “vehiclo.s” 'ore spoken 'of
not merely motor vehicles are in
mind. There is a manifest dispo
sition on the ipart of many who
drive wagons or buggies to dis
regard the law that provides for
carrying lights. Drivers oi these
vehicles merely court injury oy
death to themselves and destruc
tion of their property.* And there
is little prosipact of legal relief
in case of accidemt, so far as tho
operator of an unlighted vehicle
is concerned.---------------------------------

Икс 1,000,000 cars over last year.
Then comes along Alfred Sloan,

tors. with statement that for the
flifst time in the history 'of the
automobile indufitry ,the iroplace-
ment in'’rket for 1929-will exceed
.4.000.000 cars. Mr. Sloan pre'dicts
that the demand in 1930 Гог th!«
purpose will reoch 3,390,000 vehi
cles. _ ■ ,
It is not surprising, ‘he said
further, that the first part of 1929
was a period of record-breaking
'''reduction in the automobile in
dustry, . nor is there anything a-
larming in the fact that produc
tion fell off, niore than the nor
mal . seasonal decline during the
last quarter of the year. ■
Mr., Sloan is confident of the
fine futui'e ahead of the automo-
hile trade. He argues that with an
incrbase in the world-лvide u.sr? of
motor vehicles to over 80,000,000,
with a growing tendency in this
country toward the ownership of
two or more cars, find with a ra

a bulge in her husband’s hip pock
et; a delightful anticipatory shud-
-der/ran u-n and idown her snine,
This promised excitement. Well,
»he’d always thrived on it.
Over his ahoulder,, doer-trottinir
toward the waterway, Stevens cal
led back to his two followers:
“They’ve probably bloclced the
roads leading down to tho deve-
'lopment, and we’d never iget thro

"If wc-.' Ftncn)s: up in .your ro'.v-
