I 1 1 ^ Democratic Speaking Mrs. Lyman Cotton of Salisbury will speak at the conrt house, iu Graham, Monday night, Oct. 22, , at 8 o'clock. { Mrs. Cotton is a sister of Miss Mary Henderson, Vice-chairman of the Democratic party of N.

Everybody cordially invited, but every woman voter in the county is especially urged to at tend and bear her. Alamtcce Greets Gev. Smith. i ________ ssbs^B^B On last Thursday Gov. Ail E. Smith passed luffp the Old Korth.State on a spsslal. From the time his train crossed the border at Norlina about noon till it pnssed ont into South Carolina around tweiva at night, the Gov ernorand his party were given a continual ovation. | Big crowds gathered at every point where a stop was scheduled. The tangent stop was in Ral eigh where tha crowd was estimat ed at 50,000. There a little speech was forced from him, though none was on the program. At Durham and Duke Univer sity brief stops were made and u cheering crowds were on hand. At Burlington a 5-mlnute stop Was arranged and later canoetad ou account of delays. Neverthe less there was a brief stop at 6:20 and a slow ran through the city. I On the rear platform Gov. Smith waived the famed brown derby and smiled on the mnltitnde. He t was loudly cheered by a crowd 'i estimated at from seven to ten >) thousand. When the Gov. P reached Greensboro he telegraph I ed back, expressing his regrets | that bis stop was so brief, k In Greensboro and Charlotte > each there was a stop of thirty ' raluutes and a parade. The crowds were estimated at from 25,000 to 40,000. ,'?! W. W. FolvToeAl Smith Monday night W. W. Fuller, N orth Carolinian, who has lived many years in Few York, spoke to a packed house in Durham. He pictured Gov. Smith as the strong embattlement of the peo ple of New York against the on slaughts of the Republicans in that State. - Mr. Fuller, before going to New York, practiced law in Dur ham. Ilere is an extract from i his Durham BDeech: "These absurd stories yon hear whispered about him, and some- 1 times shouted, are never told in his or nearby states, but they re tall thein to the people of this section, presuming on your cred- , ulity and ignorance," he declared. "He is a rare statesman with the courage to do things for the public good, although he hae al- i ways bad to fight an adverse Re- i publican legislature. He goes to . the public with bis problems, and i the people love him because they i trust him. Mo one baa ever been able to impeach his integrity and character." I If Republicans believed, as they really pretend, that the election i of Hoover is a certainty, why do they send a double trailer on the track of Gov. 8mlth and every prominent Democratic speaker? They know, but will not admit it, that Gov. Smith is running neck and neck with Mr. Hoover. 1 In his last outbreak 8enator | Simmons says the adherents of . of Gov. Smith are making a J "smoke screen" of bis church re- ] lationship. On the other hand a i vast number are of the opinion < Hotchpotch. O. Max Gardner, Democratic nominee for Governor, has had to saneel some of hie speaking jn ;&gentente on aotount of a thrbat trouble. Ht pnrpoeed to speak in about every county in the State. It is suspected there are some who are not very sorry that bis campaigning has been inter fered with. Last Friday, Oct. 12tb, was the 135th anniversary of the laying of the corner-stone of the Old East building at the UniveMsiiy and the Chapel Hill Weekly says it is the oldest State nniversity building in America. Suitable memorial services were held in commemorailon of the 1 35th birthday of the University. Isn't it queer how people change and veer with almost ev ery breeze? Some of the Repub lican big artillery have l>cen in the State lately for the purpose of encouraging Democratic oppo sition to Gov. Smith, and it is noticed that whenever the name and attitude of Senator Simmons is mentioned the crowd yells it self hoarse and blisters its hands in approved. All this in a Re publican assemblage that would, a year or so ago, hissed the men tion of Simmons, the most cor dially hated Democrat in the State by Republicans. Doesn't "politics make strange bod-fel fellows?" Coring and Stacking Peanut Vines. Allowing the peanut vinee to euro in the field (or at least two days before atacking4>rought one grower nearly a cent a pound premium (or his nnts last year. "A little good care at harvest ing time doesn't cost very uiuch,n says E. C. Blair, extension agron omist at State College, "yet it ?neansa great deal to the quality of peanuts and hay secured. Last year, C. K. Cook of Aulander, in Bertie County, received a pre mium of three-fourths of a cent a pound for one field of peanute be cause be let his vines cure for two days before stacking. When the crop is dug, Mr. Blair fiuds that it will pay to shake all the soil from the nuts Then leave the plants on the ground until they have cured. The method of stacking while green will tend to discolor the nnts, especially when dirt ad hered to them. Then Mr. Blair recommends that the stack poles be firmly placed. Two croes pieces about 18 inches obove the ground will permit the air to circulate thru the stack and will prevent the vinee from decaying next to the ground. Stacked in suob a way the peanuts will keep better in stacks somewhat larger than are used now. The best size he says is about 3i feet in diameter and about five feet high. Always in stacking, the- nuts are placed next to the cen ter pole and the vines outside. This permits the slack to shed water. It is also a good plan to cap each stack uieely, either with some of the peanut vines or with grass hay. These simple precau tions wiU add much to the value of the crop and will cause it to have a ready sale, often at ad vanced prices over those regular- , ly quoted. EH Whkney CsU Club Met Oct. 10 ?Next Meetiaf Nov. 7. The Eli Whitney Celt Club ' met Wedneeday evening, Oct. 10, 1 at 7 JO in the school auditorium. 1 [u the absence of the president ind vice-president, N. O. Mcpher son, Jr., acted as temporary president. This being a call meeting the president asked Mr. Soott, Connty Agent, to state the ' purpose of the meeting. "The purpose of the meeting," 1 said Soott, "is to see when the 1 elab should meet and where, also 1 the nature of the programs that 1 are expected to be carried out - through the year." It was decided ( by those present to meet once a month. The next meeting will < be held Nov. 7, 1928, in the school < auditorium.

I v Did You Ever Stop To Think j (Copyright 1928) By E<JSonB. Waite, Shawnee, Okla **' ' * Lyie Abbott, editor of the Preecott (Arizona) Journal Miner, says: That a capacity for vaude ville is now a tacitly recogniz ed ({ualification of a newspaper man. The newspaper execu tive who tries to get out a se rious journal in these times of jazz methods will find himself at 50 in charge of a sober pub lication devoted to informing old ladies of the financial status of the bonds they have locked away for their declining years. The modern newspaper needs re-naming. It is coming to minimize the news. This is because the editors have found that between the stupendous number of distractions pro vided for the superstitious hu man mind and the fact that the communal mentality is strug gling vainly to keep up, there is little time for reading and scarcely any for digesting the news. The result is the mod ern newspaper. Every newspaper locat.ed outside of a flat and uninter esting block of monotonous farm land or a cluster of dusty factories, is surrounded by twenty to eighty million sub jects for its own feature stories. And nearly every one sends to Cincinnati for pictures, art work, feature stories, "woman stuff" and all that canned trash that chinks in between the grocer's and the druggist's ad vertisements. Tm l*AM *ku nAnti, icu jcoib uviu uiao uaic uic ircna papers being printed and bound in files now will be as strange and out landish in make-up and treatment of matter, in selection of material and in purpose as the four-page hand pegged Arizona Miner of 1894 that is the paternal ancestor and principal mirth provoker of the Journal-Miner of to day. Save Soil Fertility. Department At'State College Glad to Assist Farmers. A good practice is to terrace farm land in the fall as soon as possible after the previous crop has been harvested. "At such a time, the weak places may be located andj strengthened with only a small amonnt of time and labor," says A. T. Holman, agricultural engi neer at State College. "A good plowing of the old terraces in the fall will insure the proper con trol of erosion during the wiutur and at the same time, will give the soil a chance to settle. The terraces will thus become firm before the next crop is planted." Mr. Uolmau states that new terraces built in the fall become firm and strong enongh to with stand most of the heavy summer rains. Then too, the owner has a chance to observe how his ter races work during the winter and to check their efficiency in con trolling erosion. Each year, all over North Car olina, thousands upon thousands of acres of good soil are ruined on account of no terraces or poorly constructed ones. The loss can be prevented qnite easiiy and those landowners who have land with a tendency to erode, should consider terraoe building as soon as possible, states Mr. HnlinA.il He states that maintaining soil fertility is uow one of the most serious problems before tbe North Carolina farmer. In many parts of the State, soils are kept poor by erosion. Frequently whole fields, ouce valuable, are ruined, when they might have been saved by a few tarrace lines. Mr. Holman says that his qfflce will be glad to Assist any farmer or group of farmers to learn how Lo build the proper terraces and suggests that those who need this kind of aid, see their county farm sgeut or write to the Division of Agricultural Engineering at State College. of Alamance County was disonss 9d. All present were in favor of it. After Mr. Seott congratulated the club members for the good ihowing they made with their salves here and at Mebane, the meeting adjourned to meet again in November. Ail members were urged to be present at the next meeting when t is hoped to have Miss Floyd, County Home Agent, meet with be Club. Mr. Scott expects to lejwimi. BAPTISTS WILL MAKE GOOD SHORTAGE I HOME psio|i mm pum Honor Day fa Sot for Sandfly, Nduejfcer M, Whef Chutehop Aif Asked to Lay $953,000 in Cash on Altar for litis Purpose In order that the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Conven tion mar not softer the" permanent loss of a single dollar, through the re ported shortage of Its former treas urer, Baptist churches throughout the South are expected to lay a cash offering of 1953,000 on their altars Sunday, November 11. This dsy has been designated Baptist Honor Day and the appeal for tills offer ing made, by the Promotion Com mittee of the Convention, follow ing a thorough canvass of the situ-, atlon. AX the meeting o( this large com mittee October 3, Dr. Arch C. Cree, acting executive secretary of the Home Mission Board, reported that the auditors gave the sum of $953, 000 as their best estimate at that time of the shortage in the treasur er's accounts. Of this amount ap proxhnately $360,000, was taken frem th^Xhurch Building Loan Fund, tho auditor found, while the remainder of the shortage is accounted for chiefly through the sale of the notes of the Home Mission Board to bank3 in various Southern states. .Vhile the Church Building Loan Fund is the property of the denomination. It represents a trust fund crested for aiding congregations In erecting houses of .worship, and the eommit tee feels that the obligation Co re store the monex taken, from this source is Just aai binding open- Bap- . lists as the repayment of- the Banks. Need to Restore - Full Amount In his report to the Promotion | Committee, Dr. Cree said the Home Board expected to realise $60,OOP from the bonding company and pos sibly as much as (150.400 from the recent treasurer's estatq ultimately. The bulk of this estate consists of real estate, however, and It may require a period of years for a full realisation upon that With all these considerations In mind, the committee felt the' churches should be asked to restore the entire amount of the shortage Immediately and the date for such offering was fixed for Sunday, November It In the cgpe of rural or village churches not having preaching services on that day they are asked either to take this offering at the Sunday school hour on that day, or else take it on whatever preaching date fulls near est November 11. A goal of as many dollars as there are members is recommended to the churches. Big Retrenchment Made Drastic retrenchment has been In the work of the Home Mission Board, following Its reorganisation. Forty per cent of all current receipts are being applied to the reduction of the previous indebtedness of the board, making It necessary to cut the current operations to SO per cent of the current receipts. All' special offerings from - whatever source are being applied to the re duction of the obligations at the banks. Dr. Cree has secured the consent of the banks carrying ?|he bulk of the board's Indebtedness to carry the present paper at w re duced rate of Interest a little Mile longer in order to afford the church es an opportunity -to make a sash offering for the relief of the bqard. The Promotion Committee has asked the Georgia Baptist Convention to continue its loan of Dr. Cree to the Home Board until the Southern Baptist Convention meets in May. The demand for- a special cash offering for making good the Hosbe Board's shortage came from practic ally every section of the South, and Dr. George W. Truett, president of the Southern Baptist Convention, and other officers expect to see the full amount raised In a h offer ing November 1L DR. ARCH C. CREE Acting Executive Secretary of the Southern Baptist Home Mission Board.
