TEXTILE DEPARTMENT
North Carolina State College
During the past year the Textile
Department of the State College,
which is fhe Textile School of North
Carolina, has had a larger registra
tion than in any previous year, and a
larger graduating class.
To keep pace with the develop
ment of the textile industry in the
State and in the South 170,000 has
been appropriated for an addition to
the present Textile Building and
135,000 for additional equipment
This will place the Textile School of
North Caroling in the front rank and
make it one of the best equipped
schools in the country for instruction
in cotton manufacturing.
Graduates if this school are filling
responsible positions in the mill and
allied industries, such as second
hands, overseers, secretaries, treas
urers, machinery salesmen, dye sales
men, etc.
During the past week several do
nations have boen made to the Tex
tile School, the most important being
two complete humidifying systems,
one by Paries-Cramer Company, Char
lotte, North Carolina, for the carding
and spinning room, and one by the
Bahnson Company, Winston-Salem,
North Carolina, ^or the weave room.
The Whitin Machine Works also do
nated an eight head comber of the
latest type. ,
Insurance Agent
Knows His Stuff
J. E. Odom, Ahatkic Man,
Takes First Honors In Writ
ing June Policies
J. E. Odom, of Ahoskie, believes in
that old adage: "Every man to his
own baslness." Mr. Odom's business
is writing life insurance, and in that
particular line he knows his p's and
q's. "Although not a phenomenal
producer," writes the district mana
ger of the company with which Mr.
Odom is connected, "he was worked
faithfully and consistently, has quali
fied repeatedly for our Honor Clubs
and has built up one of the best, re
newal accounts in the Raleigh
agency."
The latest crown taken unto him
self in the business of providing pro
tection, is the copping of First Hon
ors in a campaign put on by the Ral
eigh agency during the month of
June, when all records for insurance
written were broken. The contest
was one in which every agent of his
company in the State entered, and
with all of them extending extra ef
forts to win first place, the Ahoskie
man outstripped the whole 1 bunch.
During that, time he sent in more ap
plications with examinations attached
than any other agent in North Caro
lina.
Naturally, that record stands out
as one of his 'prominent achieve
ments; but it does not at all mean
that Mr. Odom held back anything for
'that period, just to make a good show
ing. He is eternally after business,
and his applications sent in the year
around have stamped him as one of
his company's hardest workers and
most successful agents. Here is
another statement the district mana
ger makes about the local agent: "He
has built up one of the beet renewal
accounts* in the Raleigh Agency. His
business is well sold and he has a very
low lapse rate, showing that his
clients are well pleased with his busi
mm"
nrw.
And, aside from what the company
says about Mr. Odom's good work, the
people of three counties, Hertford,
Bertie and Northampton, can well at
test his ability as a seller of insur
ance, -and also as a holder of confi
dence, which constantly develops for
him repeat orders'front his large list
of buyers. That is one of his strong
est allies?persistent effort, coupled
with fair and frank dealings.
This recognition of the work and
record of Mr. Odom comes to him un
sought so far as the HERALD is con
cerned. IJe is too busy seeking busi
ness to look out for personal praise
or newspaper publicity. In fact, this
newspaper always has nursed just
such opportunities as the one pre
sented herewith; and it congratulates
the Ahoskie man for his ability to
attend to his business. The records
prove that he has done it.

TOUNQ PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Peter"! Weakaeaaee and Strencth.
L HI* Name. (John 1:42).
Ilia name which ha bora whan In
troduced to Christ was Simon, which
means "bearing." Bnt Jesus gave him
a new name?"Peter," which means
"rock." Tills showed what ha was to
bacome.
II. His Call. (John 1:41, 42).
His brother Andrew brought hlih to
Christ. This brought him Into fellow
ship with the Lord. From ordinary
dlsclpleshtp he was called to special
ministry (Luke 6:10). From being a
fisherman ha was. called to catch men.
III. Pater's Character.
L Sincere. What Peter was at
heart could be read on hla face. He
was free from duplicity. People could
understand him. Because of this
characteristic (hey could tell when he
was lying. Tat even when people
knew he was in error they could be
lieve in him. He seems to have ba$n
Ignorant of the word "diplomacy."
2. Prompt. He had the ability to
decide and act quickly, as the occa
sion demanded. This made him a real
leader. His action at the empty tomb
was an example of his promptitude.
John outran Peter, but Pater was the
first to enter the tomb. When Corne
lias sent for him at Joppa he respond
ed without delay.
8. Courageous. While Peter played
the coward sometimes, he was for the
most part a brave man. No doubt K
was through cowardice that he denied
the Lord, but It was Ms courage that
brought him te follow the Lord Into
the palace of the high priest.
4. Intense. He fait keenly and
acted with vigor. Whether right or
wrong, what he did he did with all
hla might When he preached It waa
with passion. No finer example of
burning eloquence can be found than
hla Pentecostal aermoa.
IV PatsHi Csnf.ssl.s af Chris*
(Matt. 16:15-18. 21-38).
The disciples had bam with the
Lord for several years. TJiey had
heard His mighty words and seen His
mighty works. Various opinions were
extant about Him. It was now neces
sary for them to hare a definite con
ception of Htm. The Master Teacher
knew the necessity of baring the dis
ciples get the right conception of Him
self.
1. What It Was (r. 16). It involved
His Messlshshlp?"The Christ." and
deity?"Son of the living God." This
la the burning question today. Those
who have the right conception of
Christ's person and mission hare no
trouble in the realms of science, phllos
or ethics.
3. Christ's Commendation (r. IT).
He pronounced him blasaed. Truly he
was blpssed. for he both possessed and
confessed the Christ The evidence
that Peter was Messed was that ha
was in spiritual touch with the Father
In Heaven.
i. Peter's Blessing (r. 18). Christ
declared that be should be the founda
tion stone in His church. Chris) Is the
chief cornerstone on whTbh the church
is built. Christ's person and Measlah
shlp was confessed by Peter, and on
this rock is laid the foundation of
apostlea and prophets (Bph. 2:20).
All believers are living atones of this
bouse (I Peter 2:6)/
V. Peter's Reiteration (John 21:16
1T).
Peter grievously sinned in' denying
the Lord, but be made a confession,
shedding bitter tear* of penitence over
his sin and folly. The Lord tenderly
dealt with His erring disciple and ra
ftered him. la this restoration Ha
tuwugfat to Peter's mind the naarnllal
qualification for hia ministry. Loss Is
the pre-eminent gift tor Christ's sear
Ice. To impress- this upon him, he
thfee times asked ths question, "Lovast
thou met" Three classes of people
were to be served: d) Those be
ginning the Christian lift?"Peed my
lamba." (2) The mature Christiana?
"Shepherd my eh Sep." Hie shepherd
needs to protect and toed the sheep
Love Is the one essential equipment
for this service. (5) The aged Chris
tiana?"Feed my sheep" Love Is
needed la dealing with the fathers aad
mothers la Israel.

Try Grandmother's Old Favorite
Recipe of Sago Tea

Almost everyone knows that Sage
Tea and Sulphur, properly com
pounded, brings back the natural color
and lustre to the hair when faded,
streaked or gray. Years ago the only
' way to get this mixture was to make
it at home, which is mussy and trouble
some. Nowadays, by asking at any
drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sul

bottle of this famous old recipe, im
proved by the addition of other in
gredients, at a small cost
Don't stay gray I Try itl No one
can possibly tell that you darkened
your hair, as it does it so naturally and
evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft
brush with it and draw this through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time; by morning the gray hair disap
pears, and after another application or
two, your hair becomes beautifully
dark, glossy and attractive.
