Prom the largf- delegation from alt
parts of the county before the Com
missioner* Monday In the interest of
a Farm Demonstration Agent, one
wouldn't think the work would be very
unpopular.
The Board of County Commission
ers are to be congratulated upon their
action Monday making It possible for
Franklin County to have a Farm Dem
onstratlon Agent From the standpoint
of real benetielal. service, this posi
tion haB an easy possibility of being
the most important agency la the
county. And especially so since we are
now threatened with the boll weevil.
Although- there are many farmers
whose knowledge of farm conditions
Is so well developed that further In
formation Is not desired, there are
many In county who appreciate
good practical advice. The importance
of this work has been demonstrated
by the fact that private individuals
have been forced t oemploy experts
to give Information In regard to fight
ing the boll weevil and other prob
lems and in each case it is considered
a splendid Investment. This is a work
that the county should do as the In
formation should be in reach of every
Individual grower in the connty. The
Commissioners are to be congratulat
ed for this progressive move that will
mean many dollars to Franklin County
farmers.
THE AMEBICA5 BAB ABBOAD.
On the 7th day of July your scribe
and wire left home for a summer's
outing 1b foreign lands. We first at
tended t.be annual meeting of the
American Bar Association In Philadel
phia, where a large audience of law
yers filled the city hall, and heard the
annual address of the Hon. R. L.
Sauer, of DallaB, Texas. President, on
the constitutional growth of our Re
public, which was thoroughly enjoyed
by a vast and attentive audience, from
every state in the union. A very
large percentage of the lawyers who
attended the San Francisco meeting
in 1922 were present. After hearing
prepared addresses from the leading
members of the Bar, including Sena
tor G. W. Pepper, of Pennsylvania,
tne association attended luncheon in
the rooms of the Pennsylvania Histor
ical Society with a reception to the
Hon. Hampton Consen. former Presi
dent of the Association. Nothing
stronger than ice coffee served at this
function. In striking contrast with the
receptions given us In England and
Scotland. On Wednesday we went to
Nev York and In the evening of our
arrival John W. Davis was nominated.
We procured some Pennsylvania bad
ges furnished us by Judge Sam
8chould, of Stroudsburg, Penn., who
cy the way is an aluminus of the Uni
versity of North Carolina.
That night we attended the conven- 1
tion, Raw man; of the big lights of.
the Democratic party, and heard many]
unknown men put in nomination for ,
the Vice-Presidency. This was one
of the Btar meetings of the conven-1
tion, and the new visitors enjoyed
every foment until the nominee se
lected hit running mate from the
wooiy weat and of the tribe of Bryan.
The American Bar hid accepted an
Invitation to be guests of the English
and Canadian Bars for a week In
London. So your scribe, with about
1600 'lawyer* from every state and
section procured their passports and
began their Journey to the mother
country, to visit the courts and runs
of the common law, and to feast In
the high lights of British hospitality.
Your scHbe will attempt in a few
letters to poftray In humble phrase,
?ome of the strange sights seen in
foreign lands, some of the splepdors
of royalty, and some of the world mer
riments of oar ancestors, and some
of the remnqnts and rnlna left in the
wreck of a world war.
On Thursday the 10th day of Jul?.
1924, a party of nine- Tar Heels, all
tenderfoots, being their first trip
abroad, boarded the Mongolia of the
White Star line ?ailing' the stars and
strlpea for Plymouth. England. From
the time we started until we returned
[ we saw nothing o' Mr. Volstead, Mid
none of the signs of prohibition.
Speaking Impersonally, It was said
the bar opened as soon as the ship
j left the wharf. The Mongolia is $27
! feet long and $0 feet wide, and had
145 passengers, besides the steerage.
She took the southern route and the
sea was smooth as a pond, with little
sea-sickness on board. We had two
days of fog which came down like a
blanket and the whistle sounded every
minute.
A bright. Jolly list of passengers en
livened the trip, and made us all feel
Like one family that took In all sec
tions of the Union.
The sea gulls followed us out for
a day or two. and with the exception
of a ~few mother cary's chickens and
flying fish we saw no bird life until
we neared the other side.
On Friday the 18Ul July we sighted
Ireland, and passing Edlstone Light
house we anchored for the night In
Plymouth harbor from which place
the Pilgrim fathers embarked 825
years ago for a home In the western
wilderness which they called New En
gland.

to lease the same. It was merely in
contemplation." and the further ad
mission in the affidavit of M. S. Davis,
a commissioner of thl towa of Louis
burg, that "it was never contemplate
by the affiant, and so fcr as he knows
or is advised by the Board of Commis
sioners of the Town of Loulsburg to

the Commissioners of said Town con
template a lease of the public hall In
question In such way as to grant to
the lessee the right to determine when
and under what conditions and by
whom the auditorium may be used by
the public generally as a public hall;
It Is therefore considered, ordered
and adjudged, that the defendants are
enjoined and restrained from enter

I defendants as such Commissioners
| from renting said public hall from
i'ime to time or at stated periods or
J times for commercial entertainments,
'including motion picture shows, con
sistent with , the right of the public I
to have the use of the hall for public
occasions and entertainments, as con
templated by the statue authorizing
its purchase by the town, all in the
sound discretion of the Commissioners
for the time being of the Town of

the Commissioners of said Town, as
above ordered, from granting to any
person or persons the exclusive right
to use. or to determine who may use
and when, the said hall.
I I-et the defendants pay the costs

Clean humor Ib said to be healthful,
but "parlor" stories do not always
rome in this class.
Therer's never any malnutrition
when mother has the pantry shelves
well filled.
When husband and wife live apart
for a change, the husband's share Is
very small change.
There Is method In some madness,
but many folks are not sane enough to
see It.
Play Is something that is harder
than work, for which you do not get
paid.

September 1. 1924.
Dear Friends,
It seems almost an age since I have '
seen you, and yet it has been only I
about a monthl Memory makes those |
[last days still fresh In the mind. Al- [
though I can't see you In person I ,
can see you with my mind's eye as
1 used to see you in reality. This keeps
us near.
Our friends here seem to be getting
along nicely. Austin found that he
had registered for two courses that
I would have to recite at the game
hour. As he could only be at one place
at a time he had to make a change. '
Eddie Is busy at his books during a
part of each day and works In the
dining room part of the time too. He
has made a trip to the woods for ma
terial to make some little tables. I
I understand that he had a good sale
for them last year. Don't you admire
the fellow who has grit enough to
work his way? I do.
Miss Harper and Elizabeth are room
Ing together. Both seem to be doing
fine. They have made a splendid Im
pression on both teachers and stu
dents. Every evening at the ringing
of the first study bell they go to the
church for a little twilight service
with some of the other girls. One
of the girls ssked me yesterday If
Elizabeth was not my little sister. I
told her "yes." She Is, Isn't she?
Bernard Parrlsh from Sandy Creek
is another ot our tine students this
year. He Is a leader in the religious
work of the school.
Senator C pshaw from Georgia was
with us last week. He made two splen
did addresses. His motto, "Let noth
ing discourage you. Neyer glye up,"
is well exemplified in his own life.
?When be was in his teens he was
thrown backward in a wagon. The {all
broke his back. For seven years he
lay in bed. During that time he had
his relatives and friends read to him.
When he was able to raise his head
far enough, he read himself. Finally
he was able to sit up in a rolling
chair. In this rolling chair he went
about over the country selling a book
that he had written while confined.
Even yet he bag to go about with his
body in a case of plaster pari*. Work
ing like this he earned enough money
to go to college. After his graduation
at college he began to work at the
newspaper business. He was thirty
one years old when he entered college.
Today he is a Senator of the United
StateB and a Christian gentleman. He
uses two crutches most of the time
and still lias his body in a casement.
Do you remember the time that the
Filth Sunday Meeting was at Red Bud?
One of the speakers was a great tall
man. Mr. A- C. Harney. This man lives
at Mars Hill now. The other' day I
attended an assodational meeting
where he spoke. Among other things
that he said, this is one of the most
Important to us christians. The seven
ty five million campaign closes No
vember 30. About time the members
ot the churches will be given a chance |
to say how much they want to give
toward missions, the orphanage, the
hospital, education, and the care of
the aged ministers for one year. There
will be no more five year pledges,
but simply a statement of how much
we will try to give during next year.
Without this it will be iraposible to
know what to plan for. By doing this
it v^lll help to make definite plans
and keep from planning either too
little or too much. All that is given
after December first will count on
next year's records. The seventy-five
million campaign will be a closed
bodk I hd(>e that every member who
made a pledge will try to give the
full amount pledged before that date.
I still lack about twenty dollars of
being up. I will try to turn my bal
ance In by that time. Many who have
not made a pledge will be glad to
make an offering to the great causes,
I am sure.
Many of u? began late in life to
honor our Master, our Saviour. Now In
the time that we have left we try
to make up for lost time of true
devoted service to Him. We can mag
nify His name and do him honor by
living pure clean lives and even go
ing out of our way to honor him and
do service for Him.
I am proud that you have decided
to Increase the pastor's salary to four
hundred fifty a year. You are determ
ined to do your best. You don't know
?ow much I appreciate your loyalty
to the great principles of life. It Is
a constant encouragement to me.
Brother Caldwell may be Justly
proud to be your pastor. I hope that
you will work and co-operate with
I him Just as loyalty as you did with
me. You are now stronger than then.
[ You can really do more.
I remain, your devoted friend.
ALBERT N. CORPENINO.
THE DEFENSE TEST
When the enemy met the American
Devil Dogs al Chateau Thierry, they
knew that they were dealing with a
new force and they began to feel less
confident of victory.
From that day until November It,
1018, the war was an? succession of
triumphs for American bravery and
heroism. The Men from the new
world went over to finish up the task
and they did It, but at a great sacri
fice.

Lack of preparation, adequate
training and supplies cost the U(e of
many brave American boyB.
With the experience born of the
world war, congress passed the Na
tional Defense Act of 1820, which Is
the first time In the history of the
United States that - this government
has ever been committed to a definite
military policy.
Under the terms of this act. It Is
proposed to hold a Defense Test
September 12. We are told It Is not
Intended as a mobilization, but slm
I j an a demonstration of the resourc
eg of this country, which would be
available In case of war.
No sensible person could ever hope
for war. But It war becomes Inevit
able, as It did In 1917, we should be
prepared.
If other nations laid, doWn their
guns, sank their battleships and
junked their airplanes, the United
States would be quick to Join In such
a movement. But so long as they are
armed, It Is the art of wisdom not
>o be defenseless and Invite attack.
