He can With perfect riS^tainty count on wak-! ,ing up some fine .morning to find •himself one of the competent ones of . his. generation in'whatever pursuit he • *■ may. have singled out. Silently, be- j 'tween all the detail^' of his business the power of judging in all that class’ of. matter will have built itself up within him as a possession that will never pass away. Young people should know:' this truth in advance.” One is . so often being prepared for his life yrork when he doesn’t £now it.

STOUT AND CONDER SCORE A goodly crowd of Greensboro fans and a health powerful looking squad of Greensboro High School football players turned their faces homeward late Friday afternoon to carry the sad news home that they had been beaten by a fast aggregation of football luggers from Lee County. Although outweighed several pounds to the man Coach Warrick’s boys demonstrated the fact that when they start some where it takes quite a lot to stop them. Sanford margin of victory Fri day was) 13 to 0. From the time that the time keeper started things until the game ended it was one thrill after another. This was one of the best games ever seen on the local gridiron. To start the fireworks Sanford took Greensboro’s punt, after they had fail ed to gain, near midfield and a pass Stout to Kelly, netted about 40 yards. Sanford failed on three plays at the line and on fourth down Stout demon strated to Greensboro how it was done by way of the Statue of Liberty1 play, skirting left end for the first score. A perfect pass, Conder to Kelly, made the extra point good. Score: Sanford,^ 6; Greensboro 0. Early in the third quarter, Sanford s ever-aiert center, John McKemon, rer covered a Greensboro fumble on her own 14-yard line and on the next play Conder scored on a spiner play over Greensboro’s, left tackle, crossing the goal line unmolested.

Tickets to bar becue to be distributed then. Many Farmers Apply For Government Loan The farmers of Lee Cbunty have begun to snap up the government’s cotton loan offer right along. In stead of selling all the cotton, much of it is being stored and the govern ment’s guarantee of 10 cents a pound accepted. The loans began to come in last week and cotton is now being store ! daily at the Wilkins-Ricks warehouse near the Atlantic and Yadkin tracks in the northern section of town. Due to inexperience in making out the papers -there has been some delay in handling the cotton at the ware houses, but this will soon be overcome. Some farmers hesitate to adopt the government plan of handling the crop, but it is thought that they will final ly decide to come in. You agree to reduce the acreage you have had in cotton for the five years preceding this year, that is, 1928, 1929, 1930, 1931, and 1932, forty per cent next year. For this re duction you will be paid per acre on the basis of what the land made dur ing the five years, as a rental. Then this land you can use for anything you want to grow for your own pro fit, no matter wha^. You get a loan of ten cents per pound at four per cent interest. If cotton goes down the. government takes the loss, if it goes up you take the profit. Mr. and Mrs. S. J.

The con gregations of six churches assembled So, attend the service. Rev. Forrest C. Faesor, pastor of Tabernacle Baptist church, Raleigh,; preached a most powerful sermon on prohibition. He showed by the Bible that racketeering was net a new thing, but as old as the Bible itself. He showed, by analy sia that liquor was a poison and to t,ake too much of it in the system would often prove fatal. He discuss ed the 18th Amendment and quoted, facts and figures to show that the 18th amendment had accomplished, good by reducing the consumption of liquor. He paid his. respects to tjie bar tender and when the 18th amend- • ment is repealed he expects to see ‘ him dealing out the stuff that wilt destroy. It was a strong appeal to the, people to support the dry cause. MANY JOIN LOCAL * ASSOCIATION TO * DEVELOP CITY ' : ^ First General Meeting of Club .> Held At. Armory On Last V Tuesday Evening.
