TheGourier "PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY " WM. C HAMMER, EDITOR Asheboro, N. C, August "5, 1915. Crops 'throughout the county are looking remarkably well at present and indications are that there will ,be a good yield in almost every kind of crop grown in this section." . The farmers of this county do not depend upon one crop altogether. They divide their main crops and as a result of this they are able to select the time to sell so as to secure the best possible prices instead of having to sell -when the prices are low. The prospects for the farmers are very bright this year. The city of Durham has appropri ated $250 for an exhibit at the Slate fair. This exhibit will not only ad vertise that city and the county, but it Will help get the people who visi!: the fair acquainted 'with the" wol)der- ful resources of the State. It would be well if every county in the State were represented at the fair this fall. Randolph county has much that would be interesting to the people of the State and it oujrht to be let known a concrete form. The people of this county do not know themselves what wonderful resources Randolph posses ses much less do people elsewhere know it. A good exhibit at xhe State fair would be of much benefit to 'she county. It is hard for people to realize that the maintenance of good roads is of just as much importance as the build' ing of the roads. Some of the weal thiest counties of the State have spent money lavishly in building good roads and have let them go to ruin for lack of proper attention. It costs money to build good roads and it is the part of wisdom after the roads are built to keep them repaired and see to it that the rains do not wash away te investment. The roads should be di vided into sections and the care cf each section should be given to some person who has a drag and a tarn of horses or mules. Provided that the work of repairing the roads is done immediately after it is seeded the ex pense would not be very large. Colonel Theodore Roosevelt very graciously deposes and says that Gov ernor Hiram Johnson is to be the next President of the United State. Since the Colonel did not specify the party that is to nominate the Honorable Governor, it might be well to inquire. The republican party would hardly place him at the head of their ticket as long as Joe Cannon, Boise Penrose and James Mann are on the job. The Progressive party would be the logi- cal party to honor the Governor, but would such a nomination amount to anything? Can you imagine the Bull MooBe with any Presidential candidate other than the worthy Colonel him self? Besides if such a thing were possible there is hardly enough left of the Bull Moose to make a quorum. Since the avalanche of 1912 the Moose have strayed off in droves. Only by one the more faithful have followed the crowd until only a rem nant remains. ' The Colonel however may be able to wave the rew bandan na, strike up another tune and call the prodigals back to join in the cho rus. At any rate it is a safe guess -that Hiram is not making any prepa rations to move his household effects -to the White House.. MOONLIGHT SCHOOLS The moonlightschool, movement is over the State. A thorough and sys tematic campaign is to begin, and meetings are called to meet in the va rious county seats on Saturday of this week. In Randolph the county meeting will not be held this week, but will be held later. Superintendent Bulla will be at the head of the movement in this coun ty, and a thorough organization will be made of the educational forces, and a vigorous, systematic campaign will be waged to interest every person who cannot read and write. , Night schools will be organized in every school district at every public school building. Teachers and ex teachers will be requested to teach in these night schools. TYPHOID FEVER "While we know of no case of typhoid fever in this county, yet it is import ant that every one be vaccinated. An instance of the value of vaccin ation against typhoid fever waa giv en recently by Dr. John C. Kennett, of Pleasant Garden, in Guilford. Last year there were 179 families in the Pleasant Garden community vaccinat- cdby the county health officer, Dr, Jones. One white family was not "Vaccinated, and within 'a few weeks after the vaccination three members of this white family, not vaccinated, had typhoid Jeyearid bne of them died. .' No other case 'of typhoid fever has been in that community among the whit people. ; ' ;-. . . : It is important that both white and colored everywhere be vaccinated im mediately against" typhoid fever, fpr it is'moreVdeadty'- than.' .'taberculosis 'or small pox, and an epidemic of it may come at any time. You are never safe or immune from it except when vac cinated. .. . The sad anniversary of a year's war came to each of the 'belligerent 'coun tries last Sunday. For twelve long months the horrors of .war have. hung, as a pall of death over the countries involved in the strife. Millions of this best men have forfeited their lives for "God and country," knowing not the real objects of the war nor the reason why they should go forth to kill their neighbor and to., be killed. One year of the horrible tragedy has passed, and the end of the conflict is not vet in sieht. It is a struee-le of endurance.'a conflict in which the skeleton' of "victory 'witt- go to that country which proves itself most able to endure the greatest punishment for the longest time and at the same time strike back with death-dealing blows at the country which is less able to endure the strain. There have been at times talk of peace and rumors of peace, but such talk has no effect on ears that are .deafened by the noise of the conflict and reaches not the hearts that are untouched by the weeping of women and children. Nearly two and a half million of the bravest and the best fill the unmarked graves on the crimson stained fields of France and Belgium and Poland, and over five millions have been maim ed and disabled for life. ' The country that ultimately over comes in the strife'- and wears the crown of victory for the achievement will have paid a terrific cost and the country that goes down in defeat will have paid a dearer price for it's part in this most terrible tragedy in the history of the human' race. The strong men of the belligerent coun tries will have been killed or wound ed, for war takes the strong for it's toll and leaves the weak behind. The utter ruin of it must overwhelm all. No one country can escape paying the price at the expense of the other. Gold will not buy 'millions of strong men and brains to take the place of those that have been destroyed. There should be thanksgiving to God in this country on this anniversary of the tragedy that makes civilization rock on it's foundation AN IMPORTANT MATTER, , OE GREAT CONCERN There are great tasks to terform ndw as well as in ail ages of the past, and these tasks call for men of cour age who are industrious and will stick to the task and labor unceasinelv for the cause of humanity. There are so cial and religious problems to solve as well as matters pertaining to states manship and higher ideals in every department of life; and if we fail to measure up to" our duty when we grow older we will reproach ourselves for failing to measure Tip to bur duty in not taking advantage of the resnohsi- bilities and opportunities for doing good. There are those vho say that the great problems of statecraft and civil ization have been settled; that slavery is out of the war; that the cornora-. tions have been. taught their place and proper restrictions made. such protec tion given them; the suffrage question settled m this State; and that nothing remains to. be done but .to .take life easy and sit in the boat and float in a dead level of monotony. ... This is not the correct idea. It mat- ters.little where we liv.e in Asheborp, I Rale'icrh. Richmond, or in the smallest hamlet, there is work to' do and much of it In every community, both in ru ral and urban population. And while it matters little where we live it mat ters a great deal what we do. I The questions of good roads and ed ucation are matters that are ever with i. ' The importance of rood roads is a live question before the public and the economical and wise use of money and proper direction of work on the roads are matters of the greatest import ance and are receiving much atten tion. During the summer and autumn months of this year, a state wide cam paign for the education of not only the children, but the teaching of all the grown people to read and write is to be conducted throughout the State. It has been suggested that these night schools be conducted for three nights in the week; and that Friday afternoons at least be set aprrt dur ing the" public school term for teach ing the grown up people to read and write. , . State Seperintendent of Public In struction, J. Y. Joyner, is formulating a plan and will in the sear future have valuable suggestions to make. The Courier will have more to' say about moonlight schools and thr matters for tie public good, from time to time, arid invites its readers and the public to write Jetters making suggestions or calling attention' ,to the importance of such matters and will gladly publish such communications when accompanied by the' names of the writers. t.. COMMENDS TREASURER -While it is well known that L. C. Phillips is managing the business of the treasurer's office, in Randolph county in a more business like method and way than has been done, feel as a member of the board of, education that it is due him to ay that never in the history of my membership on the board, has the school matters been so carefully and accurately kept as they are by him. On August 2 we settled with him and found that in the entire amount of over $42,000 but one wrong entry had been made and not. one cent of voucher missing. As a citizen and of ficer of the school board I felt that this was due Mr. Phillips and due the people of Randolph cpunty . to know that the man they had placed in this responsible position was performing his duties absolutely in a way not to admit of criticism by any individual or party.

It gives' them a sense of responsibility in preparation, and insures more careful, study at home. It induces confidence, through practice and moreover, interests all the mem bers as they watch the class officers helping in this way, and respond to their efforts to make the very brief reriew interesting and helpful. It would be a very intorestinj "an nex" to Bible study to make a special note of the Bible quotations, or ref erences, or allusions, one. hears or reads in every day, life. One who has net given the matter special aticr.ticn has probably never realized how much Bible thought pervades everyday life in a Christian community. To turn the mind in that direction is to find misquoUvtiona sometimes, irreverent use of Bible truth now and then, yet on the whole .it is to find that a fair traction' of the strongest things spok en or written "hark back" to the Holy Scriptures for their force and fitness. It is to find, too, that practical, up right people accept these quotations and references as conclusive truth. Try it and see. Here is another class that has ar ranged a little study corner just a desk, and a few shelves and pigeon holes in one corner of the class room. On certain afternoons of the week the church is open for other purposes, and the girls of the class have a chance to enter the room and spend a quiet hour in the "little study corner." Here are several books that help in the study of the lesson Bibles, com mentaries, dictionaries, references and maps all being class property and a sort of basis on which the girls hope to build a class library. We can learn so much from obser vation. When general observations are drawn from so many particulars as to become certain and indisputable, these are jewels of knowledge. A young man's class that I have heard of, change the lesson committee once a month. At the close of the lesson session on the last Sunday of the months, the teacher names three mem bers who are to serve on the lesson committee for the coming month. These three plan to meet with the teacher some time during the week to talk over methods for "keeping things going" during the lesson dis cussion. In addition to this they make plans of their own, thinking up some thing new or different for the lesson period. By changing the committee every month, it not only gives all of the class a chance to serve, but allows an opportunity for change, for new ideas to be introduced, and thus main tain a never-ending interest in the lesson work. Here is a good idea for getting vis itors' names. On Rally Day the chair man of the courtesy committee pro duced a beautiful guest book, taste fully and modestly decorated with bright colored ribbons. It was so dainty and attractive that the visitors in the class were pleased to register their names and addresses in it. Op posite each name were blank spaces in which to indicate the church and Sunday school preference of the sign er. Where it was shown that one who was not a member of any . Sunday school had been present on Rally Day, the name and address were at once passed to the membership committee, and systematic efforts were commenc ed to try to win a new member for the class. The guest book afterwards was used to enroll all casual visitors to the class. A church at Meadville, Mo., has a beautiful seven-room parsonage that is really the result of a boys' organ ized class. From this story you will see that organization is a powerful lever for accomplishing great results. The multitude which does not reduce itself to unity is confusion. Union gives strength to the humble. The pastor of the church to which I have referred, has been trying to raise funds to build the parsonage. He had only about half enough, and had be come discouraged and decided to aban don the plan. He made up his mind that Sunday morning he would quit the effort But it happened during the Sunday school that he went to the corner and visited th class of young fellows who were ready to take a hand in a good movement. "Fellows," said the teacher, when the class closed, "how much are we going to help on this parsonage? Dor't you think we can raise ten dollars?". "Why", said one of the boys, looking around at the rest, "we ought to beat that. We ought to raise twenty-five." And the class voted to pledge twenty-five dol lars. The pastor was so encouroged that this class of boys should take hold so energetically, he made a re newed effort, raised the money and built the parsonage. I have read of a choir loft class in one of the churches that is worth repeating. It has interesting ideas. The sessions are held in the choir loft, and they seem never quite long enough. First of all, they are brought close to our Heavenly Father in a tender ; Uttle prayer by one of the member, Roll call, follows. -This is an important feature of the program. The.Bible, verses contain the, key-word of the day's lesson, which was selected and -given out the; Sunday . previous. Also a thought. is read or given from memory.. Recently .they have adopted original . thought, responses.. These have been most interesting and reveal ing, for, to share, our .very own thoughts gives us a deeper under standing of each other. The members in turn and the teacher always takes her turn, too prepare the lesson out line; these outlines are copied in their notebooks. Sometimes the lesson is treated topically; but always the ques tion method is used. A favorite ques tion method in the class is what they term the "progressive questioning." The teacher, or some one appointed by her, asks the first question; the one of whom it is asked discusses it and then she asks a, question of any one she wishes, and so the question continues They have also life teach ings, and the portion of the lesson that suggested the particular teach ing.. They use the Class Discussion Questions. One gets a good insight of the practical truths of anyJesson by studying these questions. When members are absent they send their responses. Two of the class were away all last winter, but they sent their response regularly. That was beautiful loyalty, worthy of our ex ample. This class is composed of girls most of whom are recent high school graduates. They are desirous of in creasing the activities of their class and making it a stronger power in the service of the Master, for the class motto is, "We strive to follow Him." A splendid motto for every class, In conclusion and -I thank you most heartily for the patient hearing you have given me and if I have giv en you one thought on "making the lesson worth while," that will be ben eficial and helpful, I shall feel amply repaid and rejoice in the fact that I have contributed my mite to the "up building of the Kingdom," in a desire for more interest in our class work. By consecration, by prayer, by study by faith, by work, we can accomplish results we little dream of now. We are told that faith without works is dead. Let us have a working faith in our class work, and our lessons and egorts will indeed be worth while. Faith is the key that unlocks the cab inet of God's treasures, the King's messenger from the celestial world to bring all the. supplies we need out of the fullness that there is in Christ.
