Fourth District Senatorial Daniel L. Bell, of Chatham, has joined* the previous trio of- contenders fov the Democratic nomination for the solicitorship in the Fourth district. The other three are Dunn’s two can didates, J. R Young and James Best, and O. C. Cannady, of Johnston. We are giving you in this issue pic tures of Messrs. Bell, Best ami Young, and shall probably present the likeness of Mr. Cannady in the next issue. The editor of the Voice knows Mr. Bell letter than he does the gentle men of hrs new home town. (We can commend him, as a. gentleman and a capable lawyer. As judge of the Chatham county recorder’s court, be Pan won imany laurels. He is a man in whose integrity we\have the great est confidence. , lie served as a soldier in the world war and has (been active in the Amer ican Legion affairs of his county. He has long been superintendent of the Episcopal Sunday school at. Pittsboro and is devoted to his church. 1 do not believe that Daniel L. Bell would try to convict a, man whom he deemed innocent. But you might look out for a fight to the finish, against yon if you should go with unclean hands into court. J. R. Young Major Young, for this Harnett can didate for the solicitor ship, is a major in the National Guard is also a capa ble lawyer. He has served acceptably both as solicitor and recorder of the Dunn Recorder’s Court. Twice he has represented Harnett in the Legisla ture. In 1931, it was he who really introduced the school bill which be came the basis of the McLean law and of the present state-supported school system. There is no question as to cither Major Young's ability or experi ence. He is a man, too, of courage of his convictions. You know where he stands. James Best. Mr, Best also was a soldier, and is now captain of the headquarters Bat tery of the ‘lmtlr Field Artillery, de signated as the Dunn Battery. He was a soldier in -the world war-, leav ing college to join the forces. Return ing to college after the war, he gradu ated at Duke University in 1 DID. For seven years he was a-member of the Dunn legal firm of Young, Best and J. R. YOUNG l>unn, N. C. '• j ^* ... - - * , jt « 'V-**' . Young1, For the last eight years he has practiced alone. Oapt.' Best has served three terms as solicitor of the Dunn Recorder’s Court, a position he now holds and. i§ filling with credit. He has served al/«) as commandant of the Dunn-Er win Post of the American Legion. He is prominent in the work of the Meth odist church. C. C. CANNADY. Mr, Cannady is a resident of Ben son, Johnston county, As the only candidate for the solicitorship from that large county he should leave Johnston with a strong* rote. He is a good lawyer, a. clever gentleman, and would make a capable solicitor. I haven't at hand either data con cerning Mr. Cannady’s career nor a out of him. I hope I can supply ljotli in the next issue, when I shall proba bly present pictures and achievements of the judicial candidates.

That nudity cult business was just a fad,—New York Sun. mothers need CIGABEHTES! The; following article frotm .the pen of Dr. George Paschal, in the Biblical Recorder, gives nifte' reckon* why 'the* State’s Toice has hot sohgb’f cigarette' advertising, It was Our old-time poli cy to refuse tobacco advertising. La ter when the advertising became not' an advertisement of tobacco lmt of one brand against another, we did run cigarette advertising. t The -habit Was so general that there-seemed no. dain - age in (publicity. jRut since the adver tising has under tt.ken to corral the - women of the country in the smokers’ brigade, it is a- different matter*. Of course, the women have as much.right to. smoke as men, lmt the Voice does noit feel disposed to help induce them to take up "a worthless if not vicious habit. Here is the article: Rev. Geo. D, Heaton* .Lexiugtpp, writing,in the Western Recorder on “Church Responsibility for Debas , ed Public Standards,” begins hi* short and pointed article veil#, these two paragrtphs: . \ This morning the Camel Cigarette carried as Its appeal for business the advertising slogan: “Mothers need Camels, too.” Because the nerves of mothers must never be tired or jag ged, therefore they should smoke this brand of cigarette. that they might give their children the best type of motherhood. Many reactions are stirred by this insult to both oUr intelligence tnrt moral sensjjbili|y. Bn# |one though* centralizes them all: 'Such advertis ing is possible because the moral stan dards of th,e daV permit it. The chief indictment for this insid ious criminal assault upon the health of mothers is not, says * Mr. Eaton, against the tobacco company, but against the church and its ministry; it is their fault that public opinion has become calloused to an extent not to be sensitive to a perception of its demoralizing suggestion. What is needed to correct it is not legislation, but a converted people in the church es who will make'the printing of such falsehood unprofitable. Other evil tendencies of today such ■ as the toleration of ‘’itlie presentation of filthy and rotten pictures” to old and young, and the return of liquor, are to ibe accounted for in the same way—lowered standards of righteous ness in our churches. Mr. Eaton closes with this fine paragraph.: -—— JAMES BEST ' Dunn, N. i "' r T"'1 ,1 r 1 ~ ss - ''ff B'f r~0 utf??' We shall.receive; that: w^>eh . • orir tasjt^s demand, Wfeft. is, more .to. hbuiis^ foy' the vieioms standards of the day than the church which bits played % with the. real problems of the hour, and devoted its energies to 'wrang ling* that have driven people frear its teachings? ' , . ; “Burning; Ujh Boyhood,? 1 Every teacher and, every, youth in * North Carolina should read the article on “Burning Up Boyhood” in' the Js stie of the Saturday Evening Post of February 24. In fact, everybody should read it. It is written by give of the greatest coaches in the country. If the suggestions of this article were adopted by the high schools, much, if not all, of the criticism current against high school athletics would- be eliminated. Coach Robertson’s slogan is better men, not better athletes. Yet it seems that his method results in better athletes as well as better men. *-3vf5r ■■ y Don't forget. •-that lespedeza.

(■Continued From Page Three) pate Building. That chapel .served Cor morning assemblies, at which the roll was called, and that followed by reading of Scripture and prayer. That year we had the little chapel pretty well 'crowded. The enrollment ran up to 223. "a down or 'two ahead of the University enrollment, I believe. Occasionally a visitor would conduct tbe morning services. In !ho same little chapel, the Wednesday evening prayer meetings were held, and fairly well attended. Occupying all of the second story was the me morial hall. At that time the 'most valuable of rh<? portraits lo,*t in the recent fire graced the walls This hall had been built large enough to provide space for great , crowds on commencement and an niversary occasions. If was used for services of. the AVpke Forest Baptist church on Sundays. Dr. It. T. Vann was1 pastor. He seemed to us young ster advanced in age, blit more than forty-five years have passed since we first wet'Imp, and ne is still in the ranging. Dr. Vana took a real Inter est in the students anti knew tlie most, of ns, if: not all, hy name. Rerr; W; R. GraHaWy- succeeded him. My impression of both these gentlemen is that they were better pastors than preachers. I had moved my- men|lter&kip to this*. church and usually tried to make a small contribution monthly 4 when envelopes were" passed around in the collet-;, tion plates for the convenience of contributors. On? Sunday I had forgotten that it was the collection, day. When I saw the envelopes coming, I realized that I had only fifty cents and didn’t know whence nor when any mpre <, wa^ to come. I hurriedly sought to get it changed Into quarters,- but tailed. T hadn't missed contributing before. It, oeelnjred tune into the envelope and dropped it in. I survived —and am stm fsiirvivltig. biftl ^ l'ile got below five dollars. r,„" . i: - . Co nuneincements and Anniversaries.

The societies were the big thing at Wake Forest in those days. They are responsible for be training- of many an eloquent speaker. The exercises consisted of a de hate between two representatives of each society and an oration by a representative of each. The other honors going to ^indents for the occasion were the presidency of the debate, the secretaryship, and the ’haarshalships. And how those marshals did strut. Governor Ehringhaus dnes not glory more in the governorship than did one of the honorees of that anniversary occasion, Howard Fooshee, a senior ,afterward a superior court jiidge, and one of- the finest feliovrs lit world, was' president, I believe, of that -first anniversary meeting in 1889 That evening, when the orators held sway, a spe cial train had coone in' from Raleigh, "bearing among other distinguished visitors €te»veri^)r Fowle and his .daughter. Mis? Helen. That young lady wore the first! real train I had ever seen. > She swept down the aisle with two yards of fabric following her, Fowle had; been governor scarcely a, month. Op another' similar occasion, w a ?undp serv ice, came inarching down the- aisle the Rev. E. M. Poteat‘ gpd biride. Young Potent was_ yftstor in.

Mj Last Attendance at_ Cfiapet S*irv»ees. ' When I last attended a chattel service at Wake Forest, the memorial^hall was used, The school body had outgrown the iit tie" chapel- But the re* ligious service was a force.

Also, I suspect, if the spirits of the saints whose portraits adorned the waLLs, bov— ered about their oily shadows, they have itaea grieved often at the apparent change of emphasis: In the college life. _ ^ * -* "C K \ ,r *"'~¥ l ' , ’A -i; •_ - ■. - -,a.. r'-y W ' " 'j.
