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. 5 | ‘ t “Not knowing what styles will be - 25 years hence, it is a little hard to - say where the child ought to be vac cinwted.”—Detroit News •' •» «» ma*' s + »• u* • v r: DAILY VACA TION BIBLE SCH 0 0 L On next Monday morning at 9 o’clock the opening session of the Daily Vacation Bible School will be Reid at the Baptist church.

Hurrah, come on! v 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. j > Mr. John Sledge, near Bunn ,died > Monday and was buried Tuesday.

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. ; j YOUNG MAN IS HURT IN !

Mr. Pulley lives North-west of Zebulon, hack of j YVakelon school. The wreck occurred in front of the I home of Mr. F. P. Southall, on the | YY’a. field road. Both cars were bad ly damaged. -The Franklin car was backed out from a side street without sufficient warning just as the car driven by Mr. Boykin came hlon?. . . i' 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- " ternoon on “The Deacon and His n Work.” 11 r r 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,- 000.

It has been sa d of him: “Mr. DeLand has served the people of Michigan, at personal sac rifice, for several years and the peo ple have always evidenced their ap preciation of this fact by their vote.

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. m HHI Hi H| * - burg Bunn carrie 1 office I ulon. 1 1 rons M to go H F ra nk it takH while #1 get to J The Bunn is i good#® A as s Kxpaj is o our itizen.Hk Pl>e*l hem ii’ND/y \ j B imith il H ncr sell B M.nday 1 onductf ■ if the /.I n the o/ B fjk f< :igh.

Detectives went a toss the Virginia state line, ac cording to Judge Sinclair, and “pro cured' the defendant to violate the law by bringing liquor into North Carolina.” Judge Sinclair, comment ng further in a letter to th e Gover nor, declared, “I expressed my disap proval of such methods at the time in open court. He has been suffi ciently punished, and his family is in need. He was a man of high character up to that time." \V B. Waddill, convicted for hav ing only a small quantity of whiskey, was paroled on recommendation of a large number of officials and promi nent Citizens of Vance county, where he was convicted.
