Page S?* SMALL TOWN STUFF Dr Percy Sticnev Grant wh w.sa.vs the role of Episcopal clergyman in a New York City church has delivered a tirade against "small town theology," in which he included a ca: ligation of the newspapers of the "smaii towns" as being owned bv the men who "eontr*;* the town." These small towns, -aid Dr. 4,Stinknry" Grant are not interested in the theology of the preacher hut in his economic view. Evidently the "rever_ end" doctor believes himself because thi^ statement was brought forth because the ministers and the press of the "smali owns" have not taken with favor his "libera " theology as have some of the big city papers; ' hence his attack in that direction. j Now as to this mar; Grant and the origin of his quarrel with his own church and his de.ir : lie in en- ; gaged to marry a professional widow.] one who has already tried out three , husbands and rid h?-r.-?If of them inj the divorct courts She is still fair- ' ly young, is considered a beauty and: is reputed to be quite wealthy. It' is but natural that the rules of hist church forbid him, while yet a minister of the Episcopal C hurch, from j marrying a chroni . orcee. He started off by giving some Sunday night lectures in which he expressed : very ibeial ideas about divorce. Then he began to express groat liherality of view -?:i mat rs of r 'igion generally. Divorce is one of the things the Bibtp tr. ats upon : I it Jays down 1 ce:*Tciin nil' s of com: .ct that the Ep. y pa ni.- ry belie v$*j in.

Sma?l towns art? narrow, savs Dr. Grant, especially in matters of theology. He says they want to know omy the min >ter\ economic views.; No greater libe! against the ministers* ol th< smali towns and country districts has ever been spoken than this.

Mr. Matherly stated that the school t achers of North ? ..olina were the center of most of the alleged operations and added that copies of correspondence and circulars have been placed in the hands of them by ;i number of persons. His statement follows. "To the investors of North Carolina: When you are solicited to purchase,.stock in oil corporations -?r any other kind of company, ask the solicitor or salesman the following questions and take down his answers: , v? qui > your name ar.u permanent address?

Heavily traveled highways throughout the United States will be almost perfectly lighted before many years have passed, judging from the early popularity of a new type of highway lighting unit brought out within the last two years by the General Electric j Company. This is known as the . Novalux parabolic nest type of unit.: so-called from the arrangement of a - ( ?f urniina/t aKmit tho lamp. These reflectors are arranged one within another, resembling a nest, and their usefulness lies In the tact that they .catch between them all the rajs from the electric lamp, throwing these rays directly upon the road. Practically none of the light ^ray3 off into the surrounding fields; moreover, there is no glare. Although the lamps used in these units are only 250 candlepower, the olume of light delivered from the reflectors upon the road is equivalent to nearly 4.000 candlepower. Motorists and all who travel upon the country highways at night have found from experience that these lights are ideal. They give a continu? DEMOCRAT H ISAAC W. GROSS Our este^mvd brother Isaac W., jrostf was born in Yadkin County! NTorth Carolina. April 17. 1S5X. and lied at Boone December 12., 1922. &nd throughout all these years was i strong exponent of the teachings ?f masonry. It is indeed difficult to find a member who practiced the ? achirgs of masonry, or carried out the lessons learned therein, more ;har did Brother Gross. How often. ?\en before his de.ith. did we hear he remark by many that he was he best neighbor in sickness, trouble r d:.-tre s they had ever known; that wo things were paramount in his ife. his neighbor and his church, j o both of which he gave hi.- full! neasure of strength and >upport. He j oved his neighbor, his church, his i ountry. his Lodj?e and all people,; tnd tried as hard as any man to ( practice the Golden Rule. What bet-' :er or more lasting heritage could | i man leave? He left all evidences! hat he was ready to go and that] ie was only entering his eternal rest J 'in that h*>use not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." His light is J lot gone out. but will continue to :a>t its beams with radiant glow into he hearts and lives of the people he oved and into the circle of the lodge ind church he supported. We sympathize with his family, datives and friends in their bereavement. and deeply realize the loss is well as they, and therefore take his method as a iodge- to ascribe the ove and devotion in which we held j brother Gross.

Y.. on the highway between Albany and Schenectady. Detroit has installed them upon many of the highways leading Into the city through the suburbs and the surrounding country. The Lincoln Highway Association has adopted them for lighting the idea! section of ihe famous national turnpike, this section now being built In Lake County, Indiana, and a South American metropolis. Santiago, capital of Chile, has placed an order (or 150 of the . units for lighting the suburban roads approaching a park. In Florida, a much-traveled pleas| ure highway, the causeway between Miami and Miami Beach, is to he j lighted with a laige number of these ! units. Most interesting of any installations i yet made, however, Is the plan of the j town of Amherst, N. Y., near Buffalo, ! to light every mile of roadway within its limits with Novalux highway units. 1 This will require between 1,000 and ! 1,500 of the units, and the work will ' not be completed for a year or two. ! A total of 100 miles of roadway will be illuminated. This will make Amherst undoubtedly the best lighted township In the United States. Two hundred of the units are already mg put in, along the main motor tarn pike that runs through the town, and the rest will be supplied as called {"OUNTY AGENT NOTES I have for distribution a number of bulletins on "Feeding Beef Cattle.*' by R. S. Curtis. Mr. Curtis has been carrying o nbeef feeding experimental work for the last ten years* His conclusion will doubtless be worth close study by the man who is feeding beef animals. Soy beans should be one of the big crops in Watauga County. The vines make the best of hay; the grain furnishes one of the best foundations for profitable pork; production; the vines, when turned under as green manure, will equal the application of a heavy coat of stable manure.
