CALLED AGA.IN. ‘Vi Company E, Coneonl's; military com pan>% has been called to . perform State duty. The men left this moiling, Spruce Pine, where serious disorders jexpected for several days and ■wiiera a'liiimber, of negroes were forced to lehve ,toiyn.- ! * . Tfffc is the fourth time within t lie past several years that Company E has been called by members of the Adjutant Gen eral's department to- do special guard 8 , duty, and speaks stronger than words of the respect held for the company by Gen | eral Metts and his officers. The men v- were first called to do. duty here during the textile strike. They handled the uation like veterans and Capt. K. E. Caldwell, the commanding officer, and members of the company; were highly praised by General Metts and Major Eaisoa for the manner in which they eon , ducted their work in that crisis. Last year the members of the company were called to Rockingham and Aberdeen dur ing the railroad strike, and later in the year when serious trouble seemed cer tain at Spencer the company was sent there. The call which came at 1 :30 this morning is the fourth for the company, hnd probably gives the local company the distinction of having been called for spe cify duty more than any other company in North Carolina. The two comiwnies ordered to Spruce, Pine, last week have uever been called on for similar service before, and when it P became apparent that a third company, was needed General Metts and his as ' eistant, Major Smith, probably were un willing to take chances with (toother com ic. pany that had not been tried and' found all right. That dees not meuu. of course. b| that other companies could not and would hot have done the work, but if the situa tion at Spruce Vine warrants additional poldiers it is’the part of wisdom to* take JL, men who have had-experience in the kind of work they will have to do: men ,tvho have already proved worthy of the trust I given them. i.: Negroes have as m,uch right i»Mitchell H County as in Cabarrus County, and it is to be hoped that the determined manner . ijj which Governor Morrison has acted f Will soon convince -the people of. Spruce I Pine and Mitchell County that North E; Carolina is. fully able to care for the fi* Eights of her citizens, without Question Jr..- as tot color. HI .

Governor Morrison is being criticised . already by some individuals and newapa ; (per* .because troops were sent to Spruce Pine. What would these opponents have the Governor do? Do they think he should say negroes are- to go to Mitchell county ju'trt because, the peo ple don't want them? Do they think he should say all road work in that, county is to be halted because the people object to negro convicts? The convicts are un der the protection of th* l State of North Carolina, and it. is the duty of the State to protect them regardless of their color. NO RELIEF OFFERED CHAPEL HILL POBTOFFICE Crowded Condition Makes Securing of Mail By Studrts a Steady Occupa tion. Chapel Hill. Sept. 28.—Relief for the present crowded conditions at the post ofliee is uncertain and impossible for sometime to come, according to the latest information received from Postmaster Herndon- and the universities. Govern ment regulations, and shortage of help all combines to cause the serious eon fusion now existing. The Chapel Hill postoffice provides for SSI boes. .‘sso of which are used by the township i>eople and faculty, leaving approximately 530 boxes' for 2.200 students. . The postoffiee regulations al low only one family to a box. but the local station is obliged to violate this by crowding three and sometimes fqur in a bix under the excuse of an emer gency. The general deliery numbers 1,- 000, mostly students, who wait in long lines- stretching to the sidewalk ail hours of the day. Shortage of help has added to the trouble of the postoffice staff. Five regular clerks are working overtime, contrary to the. official 8-hour day. in an effort to meet the ; situatioii. -They re-, ceive no pay for overtime work. 11l ad dition to the regulars there, are two sub-clerks, one of \fhonr is now in the infirmary; the assisiant postmaster has been ill for a year. A petition protesting the situation and demanding relief is being circulated among the faculltly, students and toyvn peoplp- Paper was’first made from rags in A.

J I - ' HIB 'Bk WtfyL k FOREST HILL METHODIST CHURCH IS DEDICATED (Continued from P age One.) connection. • “The Bible did not mention these things, which many people today consider important," he said, "because greater things were mentioned. -The Bible told of Mary’s great devotion to her Lord, her willingness and desire to serve Him and others through - Him. Christ used the diamond pointed drill of love and drilled into Mary's heart until he touch ed all that was purest, finest and clean est and there he found a gusher that uev er failed. “Mary's love was not the kind we find too often now. She was not the kind who complained that she had done so and so and felt that she needed to do no more. She was anxious to serve and watched for the opportunity to be of service to her Christ. Mary was the last at the Cross, the first at the Tomb. “What moved Mary? Love. Armies that move with relentless preceision and determination are uot the greatest power. The greatest power is love that gives it self to help all people it can reach." When Mary reached the tomb and dis covered that Christ was not there, she asked "Where have, they taken Him?” Bishop Denny pointed out, declaring that she used “they" as it is used nowadays. '• 'They' seem to know more than every- in the world,” Bishop Denny added. Mary’s decision to leave the tomb and seek persons who would offer sympathy was a natural one, he speaker said. “Sym pathy, is a> greater power." he added. "It will scatter darkness; it will quiet tur moil. The world needs more of it.” In speaking of the short number of years that Christ served on earth. Bishop Denny declared that life is not measured by the days a person lives but by the service that fills those days. “The reai measure of life." he said, "is not time. Some-men live ages who bkmth but a few years. Breathing is not living. A hun dred thousand years are his who oar ries the world in his sympathy. Tin number of years a man lives is not what <-ouuts: he is judged by the fulness of the years and the service he renders. , "This world for us is. just what we are. Iti is hot as much out there (in the world) as in us. The world is what we put there." In this connection Bishop Deuny told of a famous picture he once saw describing the triumphal entrance of Christ into Jerusalem. The picture was a masterpiece. he declared. showing Christ riding on a white donkey with great multitudes following and with a halo around His head, giving a very Divine scene. In the art gallery at the time was another man and. Bishop Denny stated that he heard the man remark, "that's the finest donkey I have ever seen pairjted. "Some jn-ople (ire 15kq tliat." he declared with emphasis. They alwa.vs see the jaekass instead of Christ." The action of Peter and John at tho tomb of Christ shows that Peter is very close akin to people of today. Bishop Den ny said. John would not enter the tomb, hut Peter did not hesitate, and once he was in. John followed, allowing the pow er of example. "Peter should be very near to all of us." the sppaker declared. "He would be shouting one minute and back-sliding the next." , * When John and Peter left the tomb Mary was all alone, Bishop Denny point ed out, and he used this phase of the story to pay high tribute to home aud honielife. Many people, he added, have the wrong idea about home. "Four walls, furniture and bric-abrae do uot make a home.” he said. "You cannot buy a home. Neither can you buy a wife. You cannot buy the best things in the world. The trouble with educational systems now is that too many people are trying to buy an education. The best things in life are not bought." In telling of an experience of his younger days Bishop Denny severely crit icised present customs and manners. Young men did not call young ladies by their first names, he said, when he was a youngster, unit they showed greater rev euenee to women generally.” The cus tom of calling young ladies by their first names after knowing .them about three minutes originated with negroes," he added. "We are getting other customs from them. While the negro is down in tlie basement trying to take the kinks out of her hair a young lady on the upper lioor is trying to put kinks into hers." "Mary was so wrapped up iu her Lord," the speaker said, that she did not pay any attention to the angels at the tomb. She did what no one else has evej dmie—she turned her back on the angels. Christ saw her there, he asserted, and asked her why she was weeping. "Her answer," the Bishop added, “is inter- esting. She was not weeping because loved ones were dead. She was not cry ing because of her poverty or because some member of the family had goue 4rrong. She was crying because she could uot -find Jesus. His absence was her greatest sorrow. "I think more of the Tomb than l do the Cross. Christ went into the Tomb and all of His enemies shouted 'We have Him at last'. But they were mis taken. He lift and with the keys to the Grave and to D*atli buckled on His girdle started His triumphal march while an gels in Heaven joined iu. He left us so IRE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE we ean si|jn. ‘O death, where is thy sting, oh grave, where Is thy victory.’ "Mary did not know Christ when He spoke to her at the tomb. His clothing was different. His outward appearance different. But she knew Him when He called 'Mary.' Did you ever hear Christ call? He calls qow just as plainly as he did to Mary. We hear as we are. We see what we aore. Do we ever offer to help? It is not what we give that counts, It is what we share." Mary told the angels at the grave that she would carry the body of Christ if they would tell her where was. Bishop Denny used this as au illustra tion to show what love ean do. “You never saw love face an impossibility," he. added. “Love gave Mary faith to believe that she aould carry a heavy body, a body heavier than her own." A|ain warning his heaters that Christ calls today as he did to Mjriy, the Bishop advised them to be ready to answer that call when it comes. GOOD CROPS IN STATE » Best Average Crop It Has Ever Exper ienced, Says Mr. Parker. age crop and livestock conditions it has Raleigh. N. C., Sept. 29.—That North Carolina is the most fortunate of states agriculturally was the terse statement made by Frank Darker, statistician of the Co-operative Crop Reporting Service of the Department of Agriculture, on his return tot bis office here from a tour of crop inspection through tlie western part of the state. Mr. Darker anjJ his assist ant, IV. H. Rhodes. Jr., traveled by au tomobile through Moore. Rutherford, Transylvania, Jackson, Ruucombe, Cald well. Wilkes. Watauga and Surry coun ties. Throughout the trip they maintain ed counts and classifications of all fields over one half and acre in size on both sides of the roads they traveled. This state has. perhaps, the best *ver afe crop and livestock conditions it has ever experienced, said Mr. Darker. Through various agents of the Co-oper ative Crop Reporting Service. Mr. Dar ker is enabled to keep in close touch with agricultural conditions iu all parts of the state. He summarizes information on crop conditions sent to his office from the various sections of North Carolina and makes public the results and his conclusions for the benefit of the farmers of the state. "During the sumniW months," said Ylr. Darker, "the Diedmonr section, par ticularly the southern counties of that section, suffered from very dry conditions. This . resulted in late plantings and growth. For the past six weeks this area has experienced good seasons, which have resulted in good corn, grasses and other crops. Cottou has suffered most, but, be ing a dry weather plant, the July crop was good. The boll weevil lias gotten all the squares made since August Ist in all of the main cotton belt counties of the State. The pencil 'crop was much shorter than expected, even during the harvesting season. The mountain coun ties generally have good crops and the agricultural apple crop. Or thos produced outside the commercial orchards, is bet ter than has been expected. "In the northern counties the buck wheat crop is the largest in years and is in lino condition. The wheat and oats crops for the entire Diedmont area have made the best yields in several years. Tobacco is generally good for this area, a heavier yield being expected on an in creased acreage. "The general impression t !i)i-rmghout tlie Diedmont and mountain counties is tliat "the average of crops is very high. Reports indicate that the same 9c true ill the t’oastal belt. Prospects are very favorable for not only good production, but good (trices this full. The farmers arc generally optimistic, although they dislike to admit it. Strange Spiders Enter Denver. Denver, C 010.., Sept. 211.—A uew speoiex of spiders, with liodies shaped like footballs and eight long legs, pink and striped with black, have, made their appearance iu Denver, according to A. /F. Craig, who has captured many of Them. The insects have wide nostrils, . slit eyes, small mouths and ears, and , were discovered in a shed owned by : Craig. i The spiders are believed to have been , brought here in tropical fruit and es • < ni>ed to make their home in the shed. The web formed by the insects is thick • and in the shape of a maple leaf. The t spiders have sharp jaws and long feel ■ ers. 'When iu danger, it is said, they - emit a poisonous, steam-like substance which forms a moisture on glass or any 1 hard, smooth surface. High School Principals to Meet. Raleigh. Ot-t.
