L0U8BUB*; VICTOR! CLCB
Two years ago Judge Cordell Hull,
Chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, had a wonderful vision of
what must be done to bring Democrat* |
lc victory in 192i. He knew we could
carry 'the Nation in November of we
made the right kind of fight, but to
win on election day an effective or
ganization would be necessary. To
wait until after the National ticket
had been named would be too latg. He
had learned from bitter experience
that it Is next to impossible for "the
Democrats to elect a President In a
two months' campaign. To perfect
such an organization required not on
ly hard work, but money and the woft
was at the door of the Democratic Na
tional Committee. All that the Chair
man had was the "will" which said to
him "keep on_"
One- day, when things looked dark
est, a letter came from an old friend
np in the mountains of Tennessee
which read as followt:
"Dear Cordell : All of us down here
are mighty proud to know you are
Chairman of the National Committee,
and we feel that we will elect a Dem
ocrat for President in 1324. I want
you to take the enclosed $5 and use
every cent of It if necessary. There
are a lot more down here who will
give $5 too if you need it.'"
Chairman Hull wired his old moun
tain friend: "Organize your neigh,
bors into a Democratic Victory Club."
In two weeks' time he received J95
from 19 other Democrats who contrib
uted $5 each. That is how the "Na.
tional Democratic Victory Club" Idea
originated.
Today there are Victory Clubs in
thirty states. Each member pays $5
dues.' The money is being used for a
comprehensive campaign of education
and organization throughout the coun
wy ? |
It is the intention of the national
headquarters to keep in touch with
the Victory Club members, supplying
them individually with up-to-date po
litical facts and literature. Chairman
Hull bas other plans, not yet thor..
oughly worked out, by which he ex
pects to cooperate with and use the
organization. He believes that a Dem
ocrat can do his party no greater ser
vice than to Join a Victory Club and
make it possible for us to say truth
fully ^bat. the party of the people is
sustained by the people and not by
privileged interests.
Major 8. P. Boddie is President of
the Victory Club in Ixmisburg and he
Invites all good Democrats who want
to have a part in and invest as much
as $5 in national Democratic victory
to communicate with him. A partial
membership list Is given below. La

tion fill be given.

ELI.A COOKE INSCOE
Cooke Inaeoe.Vthe subject
September 8,
Sunday mor
pure
an.
Inscoe was the youngest of the
llll? i lillili mi of Mr. J. J- Cooke juut
Mrs.-^j*ah Collins Cooke, the heads ot
a prominent family that lived near
CasiAlla in the old (M^> Sh* wa^jfSu
wifiSjf Joseph T. Inscoe to whom 8 fie
waalapplly married on November 15.
189W
Shi was the mother of six children
all of whom survive her. They are L.
S. Inscoe. Co. Supt. ot Schools. Nash
ville. N. C.. E. E. Inscoe. with the G.
E. Co., of Schenectady. New York. Miss
Josle Luclle Inscoe. of the faculty of
Middlesex High School, P. R. Inscoe,
a young farmer of near Castalia, Q.
M. Inscoe. student of the Naval Acad^
emy of Annapolis. Md., and Joseph W.
Inscoe, a high school pupil of Cedar
Rock Righ School.
During her married life of 31 years,
and from the time her first born first
saw the light on a beautiful Septem
ber morn of 1894, It was her ambition
and prayer that her children should
receive an education that they might
become useful. With this end ever In
view she labored many a weary day
and made many a personal sacrifice
that she might see this thing accom.
plished. She lived to see three ot
them graduate at college, two gradu
ate at high school (and one of the two
part of the way through college), and
the youngest In high school. Besides
this she lived to see three of her rela
tives' children (all of whom became
orphans wh?H~*small and made their
home with her) finish their )nnlor
year in college.
Mrs. Inscoe's life was full of devo
tion, service, struggles and achieve
ments ? an Inspiration to those who
knew her.
The Master, when upon earth, once
said, "I came to minister unto others, .
not to be ministered unto." This seem
ed to be the spirit of Mrs. Inscoe.
At an early age she professed relig
ion and united with Cedar Rock Bap
tist church, and was active in the
work of the Master.
In the walk of life she scattered
seeds of sunshine and broke the ala.
baster vase of love upon the living,
wearing In sunshine and in storm, a
happy smile upon her face, and on her
lip?Ta cheery word of greeting for
one. Her heart was ever filled
with pity (or the suffering. To ^um- -
up her virtues, she lived for other*.
As she lay in state, cold In the em
brace of death, her friends and rela
tives came to gaze for the last time
upon one they loved? the warm friend
? the devoted mother ? the loving and
affectionate wife. Notwithstanding the
Gethsemane of physical pain through
which she must have passed during
the two weeks In the grip of pneumon
ia, her smile, as she lay in her casket
was like that of one who had caught
a vision of that angelic throng which
surrounds the throne of eod.
In the old family cemetery ? that
"City of the Dead" ? her body rests
Flowers In rich profusion, Jeweled
with the tears of loved, ones, lie upon
her grave; but her soul lives amidst
the prophetic splendor of an eternal
dawn.
? One Who Loved Her.
TOBACCO CO-OPS BENEFIT TRADE
Cooperative Marketing Shows Gains
For Both Producers and Manufac.
tarers.
(S. D. Frissell)
The Tobacco Grower# Cooperative
Association has sold more than twen
ty-three millin pounds of its redried
bright tobaccos of the 1922 and 1923
crops within the past thirty days, ac
cording to the latest statement of
Richard R. Patterson, manager of its
leal departmf.nl. . This demand for
the association's tobaccos, according
to Mr. Patterson, marks ihe increas.
ing saccess of the organized farmers
in selling their product to manufac
turers and dealers and the satisfac
tion^ of the latter securing wholesale
quantities of high grade products of
guaranteed quality for uniform prices
Proof that cooperative marketing of
tobacco is beneficial to the manufac
turers and dealers as well as the pro
ducers was contained in the recent re.
port of nine leading American tobacco
companies. This showed that after
[interest and depreciation charges and
j taxes were deducted, the aKfcreeate
net income of these companies was!
$70,321,423 compared with $69,085,187
in 1922. This showing is an increase
of less than two per cent over aggre
gate profits in 1022 but represents an
increase of fifteen per^cent over 1921
and forty per cent over 1920.
Approximately fifty per cent of the
total receipts of the Tobacco Orowers
Cooperative Association from the 1923
crop have now been sold at satisfac
tory prices, but Immediate announ
cement of payments to association
members is looked for until consider
ably more than half of the 1923 re
ceipts have been sold. Only 3 1-2 mil
lion pounds of bright tobacco from
the 1922 crop is now held by the as
sociation and the sale of this will la
ter be followed by final statements to
members of the association In the old
belt and Eastern North Carolina which
according to association's officials will
be similar to those which are now b?
ing issued to the organized farmers
of the Sooth Carolina bslt.
I As shown by the individual state
now baing bun dad out and
mailed from the 42 receiving stations
of the Tobacco Growers Cooperative
Association in the South Carolina belt,
many individual averages for deliver
ies Xo the cooperative floors ran over
forty dollars and in some cases be.

C. A.'81ngletary of Coward, 8. C., made
the highest average, Including scrap
and low grades. Mr. Btngletary put
Into the association 2,102 pounds for
which he received $lkl 1 1.33, an aver

RECEPTION OF MBS. GEO V. TIL
LET.
On Sunday morning, April 13, 1924,
Mrs. Geo. V. Tltley presented her let
ter for membership in the Baptist
Cburoh at Hartford, N. C. and on mo.
tion she was unanimously received.
At this Juncture Dr. and Mrs. Tllley
requested Mr. L. W. Norman to extend
to the Church and Congregation their
sincere thanks and express their high
appreciation for the check of $100.00
and the many kindnesses and courte
sies received on the occasion of their
marriage from the good people of
Hertford, espelcally since their arrival
In the city. Mr. Norman stated that
Mrs. Tllley was anxious to make this
acknowledgement and present her
church letter at the same time and on
an earlier date, but for some cause
she only received the letter very re
cently, notwithstanding the fact she
requested her Letter from the Louis,
burg church early after her arrival In
Hertford. Perhaps the Louishurg
church was loath to give up such a
valuable member, and thus delayed
the matter. If this surmise be cor
rect, while rejoicing ourselves, we '
sympathize with the sister church of]
our faith. I
From the viewpoint of the church
Mr. Norman said Mrs. Tllley's Idea was
very reciprocal. She did not want to
receive presents and courtesies without
offering something In return, and In
consideration of her splendid services,
and the Joy we now experience In hav
ing her as one of us. our gifts fade Into
Insignificance. I therefore move that
her acknowledgement be received with
entire satisfaction and that we en
deavor to show our appreciation and
accord Mrs. Tllley a hearty welcome
by a rising vote, wherrapon the con
urination arose en masse. Mr. Nor
man farther writes that he could not
resist thetemptatlon to pen the fact
that Mi** THIor'n conservation and
talent have been recognized by the
entire community. On Sunday even
ing. April 20. * musical program. In
keeping with the season, was render
ed by the Choir under the direction of
Mrs. Tllley to the largest congregation
ever seen at the Church. We rejoice
and congratulate the Hertford church
In having such an excellent combina
tion In I>r. and Mrs. Tllley. They
have easily won the love and esteem
of the good people of this community.
Our congregation has gradually In
creased since Dr. Tllley came to Hert
ford about one year ago, especially
since nee. 29. 1923.
Mrs Tllley's qualifications as an ex
pert musician, both vccal and -Instru
mental, adds very much to the attrac
tiveness of our services and large
crowds are. eager . to hear the strong
tSagpel messages of Dr. Tllley as well
as, the splendid music rendered by Mrs.
Tljley and her choir. Twenty.flve or
thirty members have been added to
the church durlner the past year, and
plans are now being made to remodel
our church, adding about twenty com
modious and modern Sunday School
rooms. A handsome pipe organ and
Baptistry will be Installed. When
Completed our church property will
be worth approximately one hundred
thousand dollars.

How much will you pay for'safetv, for permanence,
for comfort?
Portland Cement, the material making this possible,
is the cheapest of all products undergoing a com
plete process of manufacture. 4^
A permanent, fire-safe home can be built for from
3% to?5% more than one of impermanent materials.
^ The protection of your investment, the safety of your
loved ones, can be assured for a ridiculously small
outlay. And such a home is warmer in winter, cooler
In summer, and more sanitary the year 'round. *
' Ask your building material dealer for facts and,
figures on such construction. Your contractor will
also tell you that it is more rapid, as well as safer,
than temporary building.
