Pa ire Six LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC, JUNE 30, 1921 LENOIS. N. C TIIE LENOIR NEWS-TOPIC luiied Tliuriy by CALDWELL PUBLISHING CO. FRED H. MAY. Editor and MtUtr Entered at the Postoffiee at Lenoir, Ji. C, as second-class mail matter Subscription Rates One year . $ 2.00 Six months , LOO Three months .50 Advertising rates on application Telephone No. 54 THURSDAY JUNE 30, 1921 ABOUT THE MEETING No effort has been made by the News-Topic to "impugn the motives of those who are honestly working to convert the turnpike into a splendid State highway." In speaking of the "closed meeting" this is not to be taken as meaning that the meeting was closed to the public alone. It as closed to stockholders io the turnpike company. We can give names of stockholders who were pres ent and were not allowed in the meeting. It is true that the stock holders on the outside were not on the directorate. But if the line is to be drawn there then there might be aeked the question, "Why were all tht directors not taken into confi dence and asked to attend the meet ing?" There were others at Blowing Rock on the day of this meeting who agree thoroughly with the account as it appeared in the News-Topic. The News-Topic is interested in this affair only from a public stand point. We are satisfied that the road will be taken over and improved. The News-Topic has not advocated that the stockholders hould give the road to the State. It might be nothing but just to let the State have it at the same valuation at which taxes are being paid the State. MANAGER OF CARLHEIM HOTEL GIVES EXPLANATION In reply to an article published in the last issue of the News-Topic with reference to the accommodation re fused Governor Morrison and his party by the Carlheim Hotel, it seems as if the writer of said article was taking very mucn from rumor or privilege in making certain state ments. I wish to relate the facts just as they were so there will be no mis understanding in regard to the, cour tesy and treatment of the Governor and his party while they were guests in our hotel. Mr. H. Clarkson, who was arrang ing accommodations for the party, called up the hotel over the telephone from Hickory at 7:30 in the evening and wanted to know if we would pre pare supper for the Governor and his party, who would" be here at 8:30 o'clock. I replied' that we would hold supper as late as possible, but that my servants had been working hard since 5 o'clock that morning, and that they were supposed to get off at 8 in the evening, but that I would hold supper just as l$tte as possible and if I could not furnish them sup per at the hotel I would have supper prepared at the cafe, to which Mr. Clarkson replied that any arrange ment would be entirely satisfactory. When the Governor and his party ar rived it was 8:55 o'clock and I could not give them supper for the reasons stated above, but had arranged sup per for the party at the Smith Cafe. After they had eaten supper at the cafe they came to the hotel and spent the night. This is quite different from the im pression which the article in the News-Topic would lead you to believe that we turned them out in the street for the night The Governor desired that we give his party breakfast early the next morning, as they were on their way to Blowing Rock. Our regular break fast hour is from 7:30 until 9, but in order to accommodate them we pre pared breakfast and had it ready to serve by 7 o'clock. The Governor and his party, before leaving town, expressed themselves as being very much pleased with their treatment and expressed their thanks for the extra trouble which we had gone to in accommodating theim. I am having these facts published in order that the public may know the true facts and that our hospital ity as a hotel may not be low-rated and be-littled as said article in last week's issue of the News-Topic would infer. O. R. WALL, Manager. ADVENT CHRISTIAN CHURCH NOTES Last Sunday was a successful day for the church and Sunday school. The attendance was larger than usual at both sessions of the church and at the Sunday school. The Sunday school lesson was very, interesting from the viewpoint of an Adventist. The Holy City, the saints' eternal home, was the lesson and it was-enjoyed very much by all the members. The pastor, Elder R. N. Baldwin, preached Sunday morning upon the subject, "Jesus Only." His evening ; subject was "The Hope of the Ages." 1 Next Sunday at the morning ser vice the sermon subject will be "Pre destination." The evening subject will be "Sanctification." The Bible , teaches predestination and sanctdfi cation. Both of these wholesome ' doctrines are largely misunderstood by most church members. Hear the pastor's discussions of these impor tant themes. Bring your neighbors along with you. The members of the church are now a little ahead with their first month's payment on the Forward Movement pledges. There is a strong sentiment among the members to pay all the pledges as soon as possible and be done with the bother to the For ward Movement treasurer. Sunday school t 9:45 a.m. Woman's H. and W. Society will meet Tuesday afternoon at the home of Mrs. L. H. Coffey. All members are urged to attend. The pastor will preach Saturday night at Old Collier's Methodist church. The subject will be "The White of an Egg." Hear this ser in op if it is at all convenient. Do not forget the prayer meeting every Wednesday evening at 8 o'clock. Be there. Then do not for get to pray whether you are there or not. CORRECTION In publishing an advertisement'of G. W. Greene of Gamewell few weeks ago the News-Topic made the price of paint $1 per gallon when it should have been $2.50, per gallon. This was an error on the part of the News-Topic, and Mr. Greene is in no way responsible for that price. His copy specified that he would sell the paint at $2.50 per gallon, and the ad vertisement should have given that price. The News-Topic is very sorry that Mr. Greene has been caused any inconvenience, and we hope that this correction will clear the matter up among his customers. sidered by the committee at the same time, and this of course necessitated the presence of those concerned in these different projects, just as the i presence of those who represented I the turnpike was needed in consider i ing the proposition to take over this i road. j In closing we would say that our I only reason for making this state ment w to keep history stiwgfct, and also to inform an interested pub lic in as impartial way as to just what has been done, and ie being done, by the parties immediately con cerned in. this turnpike proposition.
