The Lord's Will '
"It was the Lord's doings, not mine." These were
the words spoken by Peyton Ivle In relating the near
tragic Incident involving his daughter, Susanne, age
10, when she was knocked unconscious by a 'hot' TV
antenna wire late Saturday afternoon.
Although the efforts of Mr. Ivle and Steve Craw
ford are credited with saving Susanne's life, Mr. Ivle
feels it was the Lord's will that his girl live. These two
fine men were merely His tools.
It is written, "The Lord's will be done," and last
Saturday in Murphy, His will was surely carried out.
Governor Hodges To Lead
Another Group T o Chicago
Governor Luther H. Hodges will
lead another group o( North Caro
linians to Chicago October S and
6 to tell industrialists in that area
what this State has to offer in
dustry.
Headquarters for the North Car
olinians will be in Chicago's famed
Palmer House, located on State
Street. The complete program for
the trip will be announced later.
This will be the sixth group
headed by Governor Hodges into
out-of-state centers in the past
three years to tell 'The North
Carolina Story' and the numerous
advantages and opportunities this
state has to offer industry seek
ing sites for new or g ranch plants
Two trips have been made to
New York, one to Chicago, one to
Philadelphia, and one to Western
Europe. All have resulted in the
development of a growing num
ber of prospects and some plants
have already been located in North
Carolina as a result of the selling
job the Governor and those who
accompanied him did.
Director William P. Saunders
of the Department of Conserva
tion and Development, sponsor of
the forthcoming Chicago trip, said
that as in similar trips made to
New York. Chicago. Philadelphia
and Western Europe, provisions
will be made for a limited num
ber of representatives of individ
ual chambers of Commerce and
other industrial procurement agen
cies or groups in the State to
take part at their own expenae.
William R. Henderson. Industrial
Development Administrator for the
C k D Department, said heavy
stress will be placed upon the
advantages North Carolina has to
offer industry seeking branch site
locations, what the State is doing
to expand its industrial education
program to provide industry with
more skilled workers, and in show
ing manufacturers the opportuni
ties awaiting them for successful
operation of plants they locate in
North Carolina.
Those who desire to make the
trip to Chicago should get in touch
with Mr. Henderson at the De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment, Raleigh. The telepheoe
number is Temple 4-3611 and the
extension 2S5. Those planning to
make the trip should contact Mr.
Henderson by September 19, 1900.

Merchants For
Watermelon
Dear Editor:
I dee ire to express my appre
ciation to the merchants at Mur
phy for the splendid treat they
gave as in the form of the free
watermelon treat. To us from the
North, this is something all to
gether now. We are also rather
Inferior in the way we can con
sume this delicious gift of God's
fruits.
Once on a Sunday School pic
nic, one watermelon supplied a
treat for about thirty pupils. They
told us of a darky seeing a doc
tor becauM at a stomach ache.
The doctor said. "I see. Sam.
you ate too much watermelon."
Sam replied, "Doc. that ain't pos
sible; not too much watermelon,
just not enough nigger."
In that light we simply did not
measure up to our capacity of
consuming those free gifts on Sat
urday. but had a treat for sev
eral days on each gift.
Again, let us thai* the Murphy
merchants for their good treat,
and we surely will remember
them when buying local merchan
dise.
Sincerely yours.

Thar* is lisle doubt that MM
( the greatest aeedi in the world
oday is the restoration of peace
f mtod and tranquility of ipirit
"He Twenty Third Psalm itanda
ut as an instrument for bringing
hi* ts pass. Along with the
word's Prayer K to perhaps the
w?t known and moat liked pas
age in the Bible People from
ill walks of life and in every con
lition and experience regard .the
Ventv Third Psalm as the mas
erpiece of Hebrew literature. It
live* not only the sunny hours
I successful existence, but gives
be dark and lurking occurrences
fat, it hanotiy and gratefully
?members the glory of liviug.
o short, it sea* life steadily and
ee* it as a whole, and leaves no
kxibt as to the force governing
L All who read it, whatever
beir age, race, or circumstances,
ind in the quiet beauty of it*
bought* a range of depth and
isight into spiritual things that
oth satisfies and possesses their
ouls. What makes tlje Psalm
reat? I would like to mention
tiree things.
First, it shows the ability of
kid to restore mankind. God is
ere represented as the Shepherd
lost. As a Shepherd, He en
ears Himself to all by his ten
eroess and care for all in his
ock. He leads in the way that
t should go; He takes care of
ur needs so that we are not in
<ant. The more we understand
lim, the more we are drawn to
lim in love and in trust.
In the second place, the Psalm
hows us what we enjoy as
rod's children. We are t(ie sheep
f His pasture, and the guests
f His table. Here in this world
it are under Hi* good and gentle
eeping, and when we depart this
fe, we shall dwell in His house
jrever. The psalmist describes
imself as one in the flock of
ehovah, safe under His care, ab
olved from all anxieties by the
ense of His protection. The
salmist gives us here one of the
lost complete pictures of happi
css that ever was or can be
rawn. It represents that state
f mind for which all sigh. yet.
9 few of us can find. It shows
s that heaven is everywhere, if
<e could but enter it, yet, al
In the third place, the Twenty
Third Plain is doeely associated
with our own religious life
Though much el our Scripture
may be neglected and almost un
known, this psalm is known and
loved by all. We learned It while
we were children, and we have
loved it ever since. To the young
and old, to the rich and poer, to
the paople o I various land* and
tongues, it to equally dear, tor
it is so doee to their religious
experiences. In time* of Joy. it
is a source of gladness, in days
of darkness, it brings us com
fort When we are weary, it
gives us rest, when we are lone
ly, It give* us consolation r when
we are oppresaed with sin and
care, it leads us to Him who can
restore our souls, and safely
guide us through all difficulties
and dangers. In the light of
the Gospel, the beauty of the
psalm is enhanced? Jesus, the
Good Shepherd, is here, and his
sheep hear his voice and follow
him to glory, honor, and im
mortality..
