THE AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION
Baxboro, N. C. July 2nd 1924
POLITICS AND RELIGION.
War the past week we have seen an
?*ort to mix politics and religion. The
Democratic convention in New York
wraatled with it for several days, and
it came near causing a riot. The
Catholics and Jews made an effort to
iutm into the platform a plank condemning
the Ku Klux Klan, an organization
with its principal idea.as we
inidi i stsnd, and being a fight on theae
faiths Of course, this was all occa?
sinned by one or more candidates who
felt that such a plank would be helpM
to said candidate or candidates.
The convention verv rWiHo^ ?!
lam oat such a plank, and it did well,
for such things have no place in any
party platform.
Oar constitution gives the right to
every one to worship God according
to the dictates of his own conscience,
and if any organization attempts to
interfere with this right then the courts
is the place for relief, and not
in party politics; bot in national poiias
in state, there is slways some
one who is willing to do anything
which will result in advantage to him- '
L- .
HURDLE MILLS AND SCHOOL
BONDS. ]
The citizens of the Hurdle Mills '
saitiuu will soon vote on the question j j
of issuing bonds for the purpose of
erecting a school building and estab- ,
lishing a high school. We know that the
farmers, and all of the rest of I
us. are loathe to increase taxes, but
if there is any one thing we can not
<
afford to economize on it is the ,
schools. There is no better or more ]
prosperous section of the County than 1
the Hurdle Mills section, yet it is very 1
deficient in schools?the old building!

only a six months term. We have lots
of good friends in this section, and
see prise them highly, and will not
f, attempt to tell them how they should
vote on this question, but we will say,
if sre lived in that fine section wej
would vote for bonds, and trust to
Providence to get the money to pay
our taxes.
We have heard nothing -so far to
the effect that the boil weevil has
changed his boarding house, which
indicates to our mind that North Carolina,
being relatively free of this
Ipest, will again as last year profit
by the misfortune of our more southerly
neighbors, where the Weevil is
ap the sands of the sea. The crop is
looking good in this County, all things
considered, and we are expecting great
things from this agricultural innovation.
Person County folks have been
accustomed to leading the state in
the production of desirable types of
tobacco, and should not be discouraged
if a lack of experience should prevent
them this fall from receiving the
top price for their cotton. A smaller
crop of tobacco, better tendqd, will'
net about as much as a larger crop J
II, all 1 - the eititittenel ieeeme l?n? ^
a fair acreage of cotton should cause
the resources of Person County to'
take a decided jump.

The Platform Committee' of the
Democratic'Convention in New York
has presented a report that has received
the approval of both the grapejutcers
and the Smith-damps. That
must have been a superb example of
difficult fence-riding. However, the
majority of the members of the Committee
were evidently not pledged to
Smith.
We note that the "Covered Wagon"
is coming to Roxboro. What with all
the flivvers and such, a covered wagon
will be a real rare sight. The prohibition
officers have lately been looking
on all covered wagons with suspicion.
If this Covered Wagon, being
a moving picture, carries any booze,
it will have to be spirit-aous liquor.
<?New York invited some guests to
take dinner with them, then tried to
sell' them a gold-brick. Their invitation
will probably be "declined with
thanks" four y^ars from now.
It is now too late for any more
June brides this year, bnt a July or
Spntpmlipp knnt i<t itist ar tiirht. AnH.
there are still six more months of
leap year.
It won't do any good to complain
about the kind of weather we are
having; we still got a Republican
president.
"Our" own Josephus Daniels did not
vote with the majority to omit the
Klan name, and that nearbout makes
the minority the majority.
A FEW WORDS
FROM WOODSDA LE"
To the good voters of Person County:
Saturday July the 5th, you will
have the pleasure of voting for. the
nan you think best qualified for the
nomination of Sheriff. I have nothing
10 say against the other candidate,
hut I do want to ask you can we afEord
to say to Sheriff Long, that his
service has not been appreciated, and
we do not want kim for our Sheriff
my longer, after he and his faithful
Deputy Melvin Clayton, has worked
so hard night and day and in all kinds
jf weather doing everything in their
power to give us a ciean County to
live in. I say Sheriff J. Melvin Long
has made us the best Sheriff Person
County has ever had, and Melvin T.
Clayton has made the best .Deputy
that has ever served as Deputy in
this county. I want to ask you to con-1
sider well. before you cast your vote
nn Julv the 5th. and then abide by
the dictates of your own mind and|
conscience. Now in conclusion I wishj
to say that for the Rood of out be-1
loved county just vote for J. Melvinj
Long, and lets keep the two Melvin's i
in office.

"CELEBRATION OF i
SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY." j
At the home of Mr. E. Y. Jones of
Bethel Hill on last Wednesday evening,
many friends and relatives gathered
to celebrate the (70) Seventieth
birthday of Mrs. Woody, mother of!
Mrs. E. Y. Jones, Mr. C. E. Woody, i
Mr. G. G. Woody, Mrs. N. C. Woody,
Mrs. N. N. Woody and Mrs. W. T.
Woody. |
Those of other relatives and friends
present were Mr. F. L. Woody, Mr.
Nat Brooks and family, Mr. A." J.
Crutchfield and family, and mother
Woody's' Pastoi- N. J. Todd and family.
Also a host of young people and
children. The evening was greatly
enjoyed by all. I
Few mothers have lived to the good
old age of "Mother Woody" and made
a greater contribution to her community
and church. She has lived and
still lives close to her I>ord and Mastee
Hie enirit has been the Spirit of
her home. This accounts for the (treat
and honorable family of good men
and women she has sent out into
the world to live her good life over
again. "Mother Woody's" neighbors
say, "to know her is to love her." i
The supper was a grand display,
the kind that only a prosperous
fanim eaa prednna. i
As her humble pastor I can assure
"Milther Woody," her family, relatives
and friends, that to me, I count
it a priviiege-to have known them and
to have had the joy pf joining them
in celebrating her seventieth birthday*"
May our dear Lord continue her with
many yean yet. I
