EVIL WORK IN RURAL SECTIONS Much is brine done to build up the rural nation* of this part of the country. New school* and new churches are beinir erected and food roads made into every neighborhood. All this Is baing done by the far sighted people who want better condi tions about then and their families. This work that we have mentioned is tat the natura of constructive work, building, which is always a delightful taak for any thinking man. While this constructive work is pushing the rural sections to the front, there is a work of detraction going on that finally will destroy itself if let alone, but that will require much time. We have in mind the little block stills that pop up here and there in every neighborhood in the county, now and then, and d« more harm in a few weeks than a dozen teachers can remedy in » whole year. One of those little wash pot stills can debauch more youths and ruin the good feeling and fellowship of a neighborhood in a - time that is so short that the work is done before an officer gets wise to the game. ' In a talk with an officer of the law fecently he gave it as his opinion that the men who make block liquor will devour each other as quickly aa they will devour others, and, with this in mind, he gave it as his opinion that the forces of liquor can be made to fight each other in a most effectual Banner if only a small fund is provid ed. Let it once be known, said the officer, that a ten dollar bill is wait ing for any man who will give in formation about a liquor business of any kind and the men who are engaged in the business will destroy it by res porting each other. Now it is very wall known that moat of the report ing is done by those who are engaged in this unlawful traffic. Whatever the method, there should ha some concerted action on the part of all good people in a section like this to destroy the works of darkness that are all about us. A half dozen drinking fountains for man and beast at convenient placet about this city would go a long way in eraating a fine spirit and friendly fealing among those who come he-e t» trade. rtio picture the printed • failure h*H LIQUOR FORCES BUSY to be a nation wide of tlw Uqaor way deitrojr the by p«tti»« toa af M «oab an •WJ am af la«d piaatod to pifN *° mmtk m rwrjr gallon of jrina tbay puduia A*»U». tha affart h I* c«t mm* «l«ta4 to congraaa and tha Hate Mow all this la bate* dona largaly by tha for»l(rn alaawnt af tMa wallow (IdMM and othar fanlfn bora ntiaana wka Ht aat In lymyatky with tha apt lit of Ikii country, bot ara willing la faaait la any ami to carry IM? point and aak) awwiy •My, i*m at tha aspanaa of tba mora la and baat Intoraata of thoaa •hoof thaw.

ONE WAY TO HELP There is a Am opportunity km l* render to this section a put mttW tn the way of developing • S-ttsr telephone mrki to the rural sections. Those who know of tho conditions toil us that much has already boon done to thia direction by establishing lino* ard installing telephones to tho nomea of the pooplo Tho Mich aooau to ba to no way having boon found to maintain the service after it ka eatahllahed. Ju*t at this time there ia hardly a ■action of tho county that can rail a doctor from thia city, and daily V"i almost every night citizen* com* here from all parts of tho country hunting a doctor, and many of thoao lame citizen* have telephone* in their h<>me*. Juit how to correct all thia jtnd keep up the lines ia the problem, but the people muat learn that to build a line and install a phone ia not all that ia required, for to got service there must be some one to almost constantly go over the lines and keep them up and keep the limbs of trees off and do many things that will re quire to be done if the service ia of vahia. It might help if the business or ganisation of this city would offer soma priaaa for the boat talspbcas service to this city covering a period of a year. It would be an Incentive to the folka interested to do the many little things necessary to keep the service in good condition. Board Elect* New Superintendent Thr M-hnol hoard for Surry county met in Dobaon last Monday and elected Prof. E. S. Hendren, of North Wilkrsboro, to the position of super intendent of public schools for this county. Attorney Robert Freeman, of Dob son: Attorney A. H. Wolfe, of Kappa Mill and Editor J. H. Carter, of Ellc in were also applicant* for the post tion. Prof. Hendren is a teacher by pro fession and haa been teaching in High schools since 1009, six year* of which time was apent at Pilot Moun tain where he was principal of the school. He i* forty year* of ace, a graduate of Wake Forest College with honors, having made an average of over 95 during hi* entire college course, which means that he i* a finished scholar. He i* a man of family having a wife and three child ren. Prof. Hendren haa the highest re commendations for hi* fitness for the office. The three citizens of the county who applied for the office are educat ed ana no doubt able to fill the posi tion with credit, and there are some who are disappointed and some indig nant that the office did not go to a citizen of the county. This Is only natural, for local pnde always as sert* itself, and rightly *o. But it should not be overlooked that it is a matter of human judgment when such a selection is to be made, and county lines are not considered when high service is aought. It i* to be hoped that the board made a wise choice and that the opposition will yet see that the highest interest* of the county were served by the board in it* selec tion of Mr. Hendren. Rev. J. M. Haymore to Hold Revival at Westfield Beginning on Wednesday night, July 26th, ■ revival will begin at Westfield Baptist rhnrch, witn Rev. J. M. Haymore, of Decatur, Ga.. ai the preacher. Services will he neld twice daily, at 11 a. m. and 7 p. in. The pastor of- this church. Dr. J. T. Smith, is very fortunate in securing Mr. Haymore as his assistant. He 1* one of the biggest preachers in the Southern Baptist convention, and the people of the Westfield section feel proud of the progrsM he has mad* in the ministerial work. Mr. Haymore was reared In the Westfield section, and is coming back to his old home to hold a revival after sn absence of thirty yean. A half dourn watering places for man and beast in convenient places shoot this city are as badly needed as are the many electrte lights on our streets, and the demand is Just as gnat and reasonable.

What form of novemment thay had waa iwept out of authority In a day, and a revolution «uch at tha world haa never aeen Hrokr out over the whole country* The romaton people aeemed to he poaaeaaad with the common idea that every wealthy man waa hia enemy and reaponaible 'or all the trouble 'hat hed coma up on the country. Untold number* of wealth* people were killed In tha rtota and thoae who arm* not killed fled for aafety mi:ny *>f them leaving tha eonn'rv at quick'? aa they could get out. Very soon after the trvilution men organned an army that ha« been fail ed th« r*d army, and *>mebody formu la tad iMttf law* that did away with all pgtvata ownership of property and made all pMperty belong to tha Kovrnmrnt Every rlrt man'* home or land was seised aa the property of the government and he could no longer lay claim to any of hia possessions. Carrying out the idea that all 'heir trouble* were doe to the wealthy people they put common people in all the responsible places in factories, hotel*, shopa, railroad*, etc. The man who had been at the head of a big manufacturing enterprise wa* no longer wanted, for wa* he not a member of the ruling claaa that had ruined tha country. A common citiien took hi* place and so the work wa* done all along the line. In a little while the factorie* and public works were made ship wrecks of for the simple reason that the men in charge could not operate them. In some great manufacturing center* every fsctory soon becsme Idle and the men out of jobs. Every rich man'* home, every fine house of any name, was (tripped of its finery, furniture, pictures, carpets, everything of value, and itorsd in a common warehouse to be sold for what it would bring and the funds to be used for the srmy. And this was done over the entire nstion. Thus business was paralysed as the world has never known before. Then the drouth and crop fsilure of 1921 came and almost nothing was made over a large part of the country. The United States came to the rescue and has helped to save many millions of starving people. One writer tells in detail what took place in one city of 100,000 people. Relief work was established there and much food , Iven to the people. Polks from the eou itry district straggled to the city hoi 'fog far food, and thus increased the populstion. But in the face of all that wa* done in the way of rati f, during the cold of U«t winter as many a* 600 people were buried each day, many of them starving to death. And the end is not yet. No msn of ability or leadership has arisen who givea any hope of becoming • Moses for that country. Until something develops to restore law and order, Ruaaia remains one of the traged ten of modem times. Woman Shocked—Cow Killed by Lightning Daring the storm Monday after noon Mn.

Locals Boat Camel* In a second of a three game series, I act Saturday, "Lttv" Brown local Shiek, rode the of the desert over the burning sands of Reddick field. Up until the fourth inning did any one of the visiting caravan reach the oasis of first base. Keeping the hits well scattered until the eighth frame, when the risttors made three hits go for two runi the local twirier had the tamels eating out of his hand. Holton started the game for the visitor* but was sent to the showers in the sixth frame when Neut Fowler hit a home run over the center field fence with two men on bases. This was one of the longest hits ever made at Roddick field and was decidedly the feature of the game. Not to bo out done Joe Fowler threw two men out on what looked to be clean hits besides lining out a scorching single to center in the fourth inning. It was noticeable, by the large i rowd in attendance, that the locals had improved In their fielding*, es pecially ao when the base* were occu pied. The , Infield worked like a clock while the outfield was on its toes thruout the fan*. An appn*cisble feature of the game was the umpiring of Ed Riddle. He followed the plays like a big league, umpire and la stentorian tones an-; nounced his decisions to the Grand stand so that all the spectators could follow and keep up with the game.
