Mr. S. E. Holt, local manager of the 1
Carolina Power and Light Co., who t
has been with us since the first of 1

MRS JAMES PEARCE 1
WINS OIL STOVE s
During the recent demonstation of J f
Nesco oil stoves at the Supply Store ]
numbers were given to the women at- 5 f
tending. On Tuesday afternoon at r
3 o'clock the lucky number, 133, was *
drawn, and Mrs. James Pearce was s
found to be the holder of the du-
plicate. She was presented there-up- *
on with a four-burner Nesco iil stove. *
SC HOOL TRUCKS TAKE *
FULL ADVANTAGE OF
BETTER STATE ROADS |
The State of North Carolina be- *
ginning in 1915 with three school c
trucks was transporting only 8,000, i
chi’dren. 4
However 1921 marked the begin- J i
ring of the State’s enlarged road pro- j !
gram and the schools have more than *
kept pace in increased utilization of *
the highways. Trucks transported
09,000 school children during the ses-
sion 1924-’25 and Superintendent A. :
T. Allen estimated Saturday that >
90,000 children were transported by ■
trucks during the school year just 1
Mused. 1
These 90,000 children were trans- '
ported in 2,500 trucks at a cost of 1
approximately 51,000,000, trucks be- *
ing used in 96 of the 100 counties of 1
the State. The total cost of operat- 1
ing the schools last year was $22,-
000,000 with an additional $12,000,-
000 spent on buildings.
<
A number of states have enacted
laws, requiring that a small portion
.of time be devoted each week in pub
lic schools to the teaching of kindness
to animals. These laws are not gen
erally observed. In the higher in
stitutions of learning the subject is
never mentioned, and cruel practices
in sports and hazing are tolerated.
As a prelude to abolishing war, we
need more kindness taught by pre
cept and example.
RADIO HELPS
SOLVE“FARM
PROBLEMS”
One out of every six farmers in the
1 country now has a radio set. A good
; one, too; a recent survey made by
, the Department of Agriculture shows
that the average cost has been $175,
and they can be tuned in for dist
ant stations. Up in Alberta and Sas
katchewan, Canada, on the lonely
i wheat farms, the proportion with
radio sets is even larger.
In many cases, grain and live stock
scalpers have objected to this radio
growth; they'say it gives the farmei*
a chance to know from the colleges
1 and federal authorities the real prices
j as early as the dealers themselves do,
; and they can no longer speculate on
- the f; rmers’ ignorance of values. This
- is an important fact in explaining the
- general prosperity trend of farming—
f to know values and actually get what
products are worth.

EASTERN CAROLINA TO BE c
REPRESENTED AT THE
SOUTHERN EXPOSITION f
e
If Eastern North Carol na is not ( ]
represented at the Southern Expo- a
sition to be held in New York this fall,
October 2-10, it will not be the fault p
of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of ,j
Commerce. The Directors of the or- p]
ganizution went on record at the May
meeting as favoring an exhibit at this f,
Exposition and the Secretary was in- a
structed to make a campaign for funds* h
for this particular purpose. It is the
hope of the directors that at least s
I,OCO square feet may be had. How- v
ever, it is the plan of the organiza- f
tion to be there in some form; pre- v
ferably with a large exhibit. Letters
being mailed out, rather than go to
the expense of sending a representa-
tive to see the various firms and in
dividuals in Eastern North Carolina j
the sectional organization is mailing ,
out 1,000 letters to as many firms k
and individuals with the request that £
as large a check rs possible be sent t
back immediately to be used in de- t
fraying the expenses of th s exhibit, f
The letter says that every cent of the t
funds raised in this way will be used I
for this purpose and every firm and
individual is urged to make his check -
just as large as possible. The plans
call for an Eastern Carolina exhibit
without any particular county or town
being featured. However, any town
may have literature there for distri
bution in the booth. “We are appeal- '
<
ing to the progressive business men
of Eastern Carolina to help us put
Eastern North Carolina first,” said
President John W. Holmes while dis
cussing this matter recently. The (
exhibit will be just as elaborate as the
people of Eastern Carolina make it.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT
TYPHOID FEVER
<
The number of cases and deaths ‘
from typhoid fever has been greatly 1
reduced in the South in the last few j
years. It should have been wiped out 1
ere this, and could have been if peo
ple had only put into practice the '■
knowledge that they have had.
It has been known for years and
demonstrated from time to time that j ■
inoculation (vaccination) would pre- i
vent at least 95 per cent of typhoid |
fever. Inoculation (vaccination) cou- I
pled with sanitation present an in- j
vulnerable front to typhoid fever, al
most 100 per cent perfect. When one
of these preventive measures fails to
protect, the other does protect. Do j
not be satisfied with either sanitation J
or inoculation alone—have both. You I
can do the sanitary part; you will
have to go to your doctor or health
officer for inoculation.
In 1923 there was not a case of
typhoid fever or a death from typhoid
fever in the United States Army. The |
civil population could do as well as!
the army if each individual would do ;
his whole duty. Just as soon as you j
re; d this get inocu'.ated against ty
phoid fever, and then go home and
make your premises sanitary.
If typhoid fever was stamped out
completely in the South it would save,
at the very least estimate, from $5,-
1)00,000 to $6,000,000 annually in sick
ness and deaths from this disease
idone.—The Progress.ve Farmer.

TRIANGLE AFFAIR THAT t
PROVES DISASTEROUS }
i
It is said that on last Friday night ,
while Blendin High, colored, was call
ing on Lela May Jones as was his j
custom, jealousy so overcame a dusky (
rival from Nash county, by name ,
Arthur Manning, that he, in company .
with his jrusty razor, crept through t
the parlor window into the room where
the couple were sitting.
Following the rule of “Ladies first”
he succeeded in slashing the girl (
severely before High could interfere. <j
Then, before the girl’s father could <
enter, High was also cut. The lucky ,
entrance of Jones armed with a large (
stick stopped the affray. Arthur left .
for parts unknown, and Lela May and <
High left for the Doctor’s, where
thirty-two stitches were taken in the f
girl’s gashes, and twelve in those of f
High. ;

THE BAPTIST
SCHOOL FOR
I MINISTERS
The two weeks’ School for Prerchers
at Meredith College which closes to-,
day, has been a distinct success from
ovary standpoint. 7'he faculty is
Composed of some of the outstanding
Baptist preachers and teachers of
America. Among these are Dr. A. F.
Robertson, the leading New Testa
ment Greek scholar in the world. He
h;.s delivered two lectures each day
through the sessions. Then Dr. Fred
Agar, of New York, has delivered
several very fine practical addresses
!on the officers and work of the
church.
Among other great scholars who
have spoken and taught are Dr. J. YV.
Lynch, of YVake Forest College, on
“Sermon Making,” Dr. L. E. M. Free
man, of Meredith College, on “The
Acts;” Rev. J. B. Hipps, of China,
on “World Conditions;” Dr. John W.
Lowe, of China, spoke of conditions
in Northern China. Others taking
part in th L . school are: Drs. B. W.
Spilman, of Kinston, A. J. Smith, of
Goldsboro, 11. T. Stevens, of High t
Point, and Dr. W. R. Cullom, Wake a
Forest.
Probably 900 pastors from all parts
of the St;J.e have been in attendance.
They roomed in the College dormi
tories fnd meals were furnished in
the dining hall at a total cost of SI.OO
per day. This has been the most sue
fessful meeting of its kind in the
history of the denominations, and will
be conducted again next year, either
it Meredith College, or Wake Forest, l
Both places have offered their plant
for the school to the committee from
the two boi.rds —that of Mission and
that of Educations who are support- II
ing the financial and other ends of
the enterprise.
Pastor A. A. Pippin and Theo, B.
Davis from the Zebulon community, h
save attended most of the sessions of IT
the school. Several of the deacons ®
if the Zebulon Baptist church heard a
the address of Dr. Ag; r Sunday as- "

SURPLUS GREATER a
THAN ANTICIPATED t
v
YVilh a statement made public v
Saturday by Governor A. YV. McLean c
showing a cash surplus of $2,824,- c
395.66 in the hands of the State
treasurer on May 31, a surplus in \
excess of $2,000,000 for the fiscal i;
year ending June 30 is indicated, al- t
though it is possible that heavy ex- j
penses of June will bring the v figure s
below that point.
But there is no question at all t
about the fact of a heavy surplus, ?
much heavier than has been anticipa- t
ted. And while expenses will be ,
heavy in June, Fcense taxes are com- *
ing in in a good stream to absorb a
considerable portion of it. [
Cashier A. S. Carson, of the De- j
partment of Revenue, stated Satur- ;
day that $276,000 has been collected ,
so far this month. The State has t
spent in operating expenses during
the first 11 lmonths of the fiscal year, )
July 1, 1925, through May 31, 1926,
$12,084,280.59. c
The statement shows th'* expendi- <
tures during the month of May were (
$810,617.70. And the receipts S6OO,- }
906.95. The excess of expenditures (
over receipts subtracted from the |
cash balance of the general fund as |
of May Ist left a balance as of May <
31 of $2,824,395.66. ,
The highway and other special |
funds showed a balance as of May 31 ,
of $9,132,347.99. The receipts in this
account for the month amounted to
$3,404,398.60, while the disburse
ments were $4,508,556.48.
The total cash on hand was shown
to be $12,607,200,96. This included
the general fund cash, the balance in
the highway and special funds, and
the outstanding warrants.
The State debt, the State showed,
amounted to of which
$12,800,000 was current debt in short
term obligations, while the funded
or bonded debt amounted to $123,-
765,600. This was divided as fol
'ows: General fund notes, $9,348,000;
general fund bonds, 34,328,000
highway bonds, $69,999,000, and spe
cial school bidding bonds, $10,000,-

BOYS AND GIRLS
WILL ATTEND CAMPS “
tt
Raleigh, N. C., June B.—Several
lundred farm boys and girls who are S
nembers of the agricultural and home
■conomics clubs organized by farm
ind home agents in North Carolina
vill enjoy camp life during the sum
ner months. Many of the agents are c
low planning their annual outings
for these young folks and are ar- “
ranging programs of entertainment ir
ind instruction. The agents will use
the specialists of the extension ser- c<
vice at State College for instructional 01
work and will also call on local lead
n
ers for help in making the camping
ir
event a success.
Last year 53 such camps were held
in the State. These were attended j'
by 1178 boys and 1000 girls. The
total attendance including visitors and e
instructors, : s well as young people, a
a,
amounted to 4,760 persons.
According to Dean I. O. Schaub of
‘he School of Agriculture, the agents
select some suitable site, either on P
the coast, at some mountain retreat 11
or near some attractive body of water.
The camps usually last for one week S
..nd the children must bring the
necessary toilet articles, bedding, and
in most cases, the food used. Of
ficials of the county and civic clubs
of the towns have helped to defray s
the expenses. The young people are *
carefully chaperoned and regular
hours for work and play are observed. 1
The county agents report that these
club encampments have proven to be f
one of the most popular phases of 11
dub life. The young people come to 1
know one another better, they are
impressed with high ideals of club 5
life and generally return to their '
homes filled with a desire to carry s
on their work to a successful ccn- 1
clus on. The agents take only the ''
leading club members who are con- (
ducting their projects according to the ‘
rules laid down by the Agricultural 1
Extension Servic?.
i
PLAN NOW
FOR FAMILY
REUNION
A family reunion is another op-;
portunity for a happier farm life in
1926 that we should especially like to
emphasize. Probably no other plan
for getting farm folks together has
made such rapid progress these last
five years. The explanation is, of
course, the automobile. In old days
when parents, grandparents, uncles,
aunts, nephews, neices, and cousins
were badly scattered a family reunion
at any one point meant a day’s jour-,
ney for most of the kinsfolk, and two.
three, or four days’ travel ng for r.ianv
others. In this day, however, when
everybody has a flivver or a car, it
is easy to bring the whole family clan
together, gladden the hearts of the
old, honor the patriarchal men and
women, brighten and bless the ties j
of family relationship. A family re i
union at some country home is just
a little happier than almost any other
■ possible way of getting people to
■ gether ’because of the fact that those
i in attendance have not only all the
usual ties of blood relationship.
