G. Lassiter, of Star, preached at 1 Beulah church Saturday afetmoon and 1 Sunday and I am sure that everyone enjoyed hearing him. Part of his ser -1 mon Sunday was on the life of Queen Esther. As we all remember this good queen when asked by Mardecia to go into the presence of the king and try and save her people she told him to gather together all the Jews and fast and pray. She was willing if need be, to give her life for her people. Mr. and Mrs. George Purvis, of Mc- Connell, Rt. 1, were visitors at the home of Mr. Claud Purvis'fcunday.

We think the people of this com munity will have to get busy as we saw two young men yesterday who were under the influence of liquor. They met two little boys not far from Beulah church, they offered to sell their bicycles. We can’t understand why young men will ruin their lives and spend all they make by buying and drinking this stuff. GOLDSTON, RT. 1, NEWS.

PICKARD. THE BARBER. Eg the only PLACE ACUNOfe BhERE*to QET a CLOSE SHAVE J|g OBEY THE LAW. After July First One Must Stop at Railroad Crossings. The General Assembly of North Carolina has done the sane and com mendable thing in passing an act, ef fective July 1, 1923, requiring every person operating a motor vehicle on the public roads of this State to come to a full stop at a distance not exceed ing 60 feet from the nearest rail of any railroad track crossing the public road at grade. This law is already working well in Virginia. Drivers of automobiles and trucks should not consider this ■ act a hardship but as an effort on the 1 part of the State to save them from i injury and death, f In the United States in 1921, 5,387 persons were killed or injured in auto - mobile accidents at grade crossings J with railways. In the last five years i 9,101 persons have been killed in such - accidents in the United States. North l Carolina has contributed more than 1 heir full share to the list of victims. i Violation of this law will consti tute a misdemeanor, punishable by fine or imprisonment. We do not see why any person should violate a law passed for his protection. We believe 1 that observance of this law will save • many lives, and commend it to our readers. I The railways have been requhsd to - erect large singns 100 feet fivsi cross ings, lettered, “N. C. Law; Stop.” i When you see that sign, obey its in junction and protect yourself and J those with you. MARRIAGES. r At the McPherson church, Fayette r ville, Tuesday of last week, Miss Jean .

Washington, June 15. —More than three quarters of a billion dollars theoretically will pass through the treasury todav in the government’s mid-year fiscal oneration. Taxpavers of the covmtw -will eo^- plete their second quarterly remit tance of the year and at same time the Treasury will receive a payment from the British government of more then seventy million dollars as an in stallment on Great Britain’s war debt; to the United States. The Treasury has to pay out two hundred million dollars to retire an issue of certifi cates of indebtedness, maturing today, but to offset this outgo, it will receive more than $150,000,000 from the sale of certificates under the recently an- j nounced offer. # , Treasury officials predicted that the 1 second tax installment would net about ' $375,000,000. The first payment, | March 15, brought more than four 1 hundred millions into the Treasury but that included many smaller assess ments which were paid in full. i LOOK AT YOUR LABEL _______________________ BOLL WEEVILS IN LEE. Beginning to Spread Rapidly and Damaging Cotton. > Last Saturday the editor of The Record was in Sanford and he met Mr. H. W. Coley, of Pocket township, Jonesboro, Rt. 4. In a small bottle he had caged some 40 or 50 boll wee vils that he caught in a small space in his cotton patch. Mr. Coley is expecting trouble for fair tjiis year, although last year they did not bother him at all. On a tract of land containing three acres he rais ed seven bales in 1922, and on 17 ac res he has planted this year he will not average more than half a bale to the acre. Heretofore Mr. Coley has always cut the stalks and plowed them under in in the fall of the year, but on the small tract where the weevils are now : plentiful, the stalks weer not cut and turned under 'until March and while i cutting them boll weevils were found [ on the stalks. The patch was plant ed by another main and Mr. Coley , could not get the opportunity to cut ■ them in the fall. He states that this is one of the ■ solutions of destroying the weevil— > cut the stalks and turn them under in ! the fall. This is prehaps worth try ing by Chatham county people, and this experience of Mr. Coley is pub lished for the benefit it may be to others. ANOTHER GOOD LIST.
