Deans .Jr., to Selma, after having sustain.ed injuries while ' in swimming near Monroe afew weeks ago, the mistake was made of giving the name of E. V. Woodard Jr., whereas we meant to say E. V. Deans Jr. ever, the .skill of a faitliful physi cian, and by prayers of a few of God’s faithful ones, he soon show ed signs of recovery. Because of the fact that he could not speak English I could not talk with him, but did, by signs, and kneeling by bis bedside cause him to understand that we were praying. To this he gave evidence of appreciation. With- j.g_ I in two or three days an aged Nor wegian who had sailed the seas was found, and through him as inter preter I told him of Jesus’ pov/er to save even so great a sinner as he. From the first talk he seemed to be penitent; spoke of regret for the deed and was within ten days happy in our Saviour’s love. He left several messages to be sent to his aged parents. He lived three weeks, and fell asleep in Jesus. Due to a deep gash in the wind pipe and loss of blood there was but little hope of recovering from the beginning of efforts to save his life. We laid his body to re-t in the old cemetery in Beaufort. I feel sure that mine, eyes, now moist With tears a,? I recall the quiet pass ing- ef this spirit, will greet him m the land of pure delight ju.?t be- yonrl the sunset’s radiant glow. fOUF illy you CAN HAVE VOUR CHOICE OF ANY FIVE OF THE MAGAZINES LISTED BELOW FOR A FULL YEAR (TWELVE MONTHS) Why pay more for your magazines when you can buy them at less than cost through your home town news paper?

No person living in Johnston County has performed a greater ta.sk in bringing relief to those af-' fected by the three-year-old panic than Mrs. D. J. Thurston, Superin tendent of Public Welfare.

It will be of interest to a large number of friend? in Selma and John.ston County to' learn of the mai-ria.ge on Monday, Augu.st 22nd, 1932, of Miss Gladys Beck, of Grif fin, Ga., to Prof. C. B. Earp, of New York. Both are well and favor ably- known in thi.? section. Miss Cross and has done her level best ly and cheerfully without reward, carry out his wishes Regularly or hope of reward. And now when ‘ since that time she has made all ner labor i? beginning to take form reports required of her and this upon the civic horizon of the coun- writer has issued at least three in- ty, she is being paid off in bitter, "ruel, unjust and defamatory crit icism. Mrs. Thurston is being charged with unjust d-'serimination in the di.stribution of Red Cross flour ground from Government wheat, J. C. Stancil, Smithfield Postmaster, in his column in the Johnstonian- Sun has intimated that she has shown favoritism in the distribution of this flour, in tiurt it has been handled as a political tool. No grosser misrepresentation of the tjuth could be published'than such statement. Mrs. Thurston’s labor in cooperation with the Pre?ident and the American Red Cross has been too great and too generously .given for such statements to go un challenged. vitations to field agents to return to the county for the purpose ' of seeing how the work has been car ried on. No repre-entative has vis ited the county since the work be- ,gan and not one word of criticism has emanated from Washington. She was at first criticised because she was not giving out enough flour. By petition after petition this writer secured for Airs. Thurs ton 580 barrels of flour which has been cont'sibuted through her office and through tlif' oinco of Alayoi Broughton, of Kenly, through the hands of Miss Margaret Etheredge, of Selma, through the hands of Jlayor .Strickland, of Benson, through the hands of Mayor Keen, of Four Oaks, through the hands of Airs. D. B. Oliver, of Pine Level, in her handling this enormous Airs. ; amount of flour are altogether ig norant of these facts and in fair ness and in justice, I am calling on the newspapers of the county to print this statement which does give a few of the facts connected with what has been a very big and a very thankless task. Let me say further that in con nection with all this work the reg ular duties of Mrs. 'Thurston have gone forward, and if there be any- ope v.’ho would criticise her manner or her method in the disposing of this flour let me ask them first to examine themselves to see what they have contributed to the de pression, to the sick and to the un employed. If their contributions have eiiualed those of Mrs. Thur-ton then I think they would be qualified to criticise her; if they have not then I think they might keep silent. H. V. ROSE, Chairman, Johnston County Chapter of American Red Cross. The truth about the m.atter is ' through the hands of A. K.

After a wedding trip. Prof, and Airs. Earp will reside in I ong Isl and, New -York. Dr. Elmore Earp went by airplane from Pittsburg, Pa., to attend his brother’s wedding. All of this was anticipated last March when a field agent of the Red Cro.ss came to Smithfield. This writer explained to him that with out some manner of investigation imposition of very grave nature must appear in th-'s scheme. The answer he made was pretty much as follows. In one end of the coun try wheat is already softening and will soon be unfit for human con sumption. This wheat is bringing Pos-ibly each has made mistakes similar to those she has made but if any man, or any set of men, can do a better work under the propo sition submitted to them it is be yond my power to name them. In addition to what these volunteers have done the Clayton Chapter of American Red Cross through Mrs. Beddingfield has given out 47 bar rels of flour.
