concluded to pursue with the force he
brought to his assistance. Morgan
led the British in a chase to the Yad
kin and Greene brought his army
from Cheraw up the Catawba, and the
united forces retreated to Guilford
court house, chased by Cornwallis.
They continued until Cornwallis was
checked by the crossing at the Dan,
and then as Cornwallis turned south
to Pittsboro, Greene returned to Guil
ford, where he was met again by
Cornwallis. Greene was not victor
ious enough at Guilford to claim that
he had won a battle, but he did wipe
out so much of Conwallis’s army that
it again retreated for the south.
Passing down the Deep river from
the scene of action Cornwallis led his
disheartened army down the valley,
at Sandy creek turning to cut across
the bend to the Gulf, passing not far
north of the Horseshoe. Greene fol
lowed, and at Ramsey’s mill, in Lee
county, he was almost able to over
take the British, reaching the river:

Worship and sermon, 10:30.
Bible School, 11:45.
Junior Christian Endeavor, 4:30.
Senior Christian Endeavor, 7:30.

The public is cordially invited to at
tend all these services.
Rev. Elmer Willis Seri delivered a
thought provoking sermon on the
subject, “Can We Live Together?’*
The following is quoted from his
address:
“Jesus Christ is the formula for
social harmony. Can we live togeth
er? Yes, if we agree to practice the
fundamentals of life together. There
is no use of developing fine spun so
cial theories. There is one practice
which is sufficient and that is Chris
tianity.
“What is Christianity? Christian
ity is the simplest remedy for what
ails humanity because Chrstianity is
Christ-like living or Christ living.
Christianity is unselfishness.
“There is only one basic thing the
matter with mankind. It is selfish
ness. And the pity of it is selfishness
never gains an enduring good. But
unselfishness gains the enduring
goods. All things are added when
unselfishness is first.
“Unselfishness in an individual
makes itself felt in society. Men can
live together by emphasizing and ob
serving a few essentials as individ
uals, namely, Truth, Surrender of
Personal Liberty and the Prohibi
tions.”
During the absence of the pastor,
Miss Ruth Sergeant will take charge
of the services. Mr Gifford will ren
der a solo next Sunday.
Wednesday evening was a busy one
at the church. At six o’clock the
teachers and officers of the Sunday
School met for supper and a business
meeting. After which the Open
Forum was conducted by Miss Ser
geant. Immediately following this
was the business meeting of the
Chistian Endeavor Society. Then
came choir rehearsal.
The directors of the Ladies’ Aid
Society will hold a business meeting
at the home of Mrs. F. W. Van Camp's
at 7:30 p. m., Monday, November 12.
Miss Lucille Eifort, the superin
tendent of Welfare for Moore County
will address the meeting of the La
dies’ Aid Society at 2:30 Wednesday
afternoon, November 14th.
The attendance at the Bible School
broke all records of the past few
months. Mrs. Judith Cranford has
been appointed superintendent of the
Home Department.
Garland Pierce will be the leader of
the C. E. next Sunday evening on the
subject, “What is Being Done For and
Against World Peace?” Robert Cran
dall will be the leader of the Junior
C. E. on the subject. “Book Fiends.”
ville as the country was too barren
to subsist two armies and Green turn
ed west, passing close by the Horse
shoe, out north of Pinehurst, near
Jackson’s Springs, and down in to
South Carolina where he fought the
battles of Camden, Ninety-six and
others, and finally after a bitter cam
paign pushed the British out of South
Carolina. Cornwallis was chased
north to surrender to Washington in
the fall at Yorktown, and the war
was practically wound up. In fact it
was finished at Guilford where Corn
wallis began his retreat south down
Deep River, for he was never able to
get his army together again in shape
to present a formidable offensive cam
paign, nor to offer to his various de
pendencies any support to enable
them to defend themselves against
Greene or other colonial organiza
tions.
Deep River at the battle of the Ala
mance was the beginning of the rev-
oluton as Deep River at Guilford, and
down the river in the chase of Greene
after the fleeing Cornwallis, was the
breaking of the great contest in fa
vor of the colonies. . Surrounded on
all sides, east, west, north and south
by country the contending armies
tramped over and over, the Deep Riv
er valley, and especially the Horse
shoe section is deserving of any mon
uments it gets, and the Daughters of
the Revolution have ample ground for
their attention to this section.
With the weather man arranging
for good weather and all things work
ing together for good it looks like a
big turnout at the Horseshoe on Sat
urday morning. The program begins
at 11 o’clock, and dinner follows
whenever each individual group opens
its baskets. Room in the Horseshoe
bend for everybody and they are all
expected.

As the last page of The Pilot is
. about to be put on the press the fig-
I ures from the elections of Tuesday
show that North Carolina has gone
for Hoover by about 46,358 votes.
Gardner appears to have carried the
State by about 68,000 votes. Bul-
winkle and Weaver seem to have been
defeated for Congress by their Re
publican opponents. The margins are
narrow, but evidently sufficient.
In Congress it looks as if the Re
publicans will have 55 Senators, the
Democrats the balance except one
Labor farmer victor. An increased
number of members of the lower
house in Congress will he returned
from the Southern states, and the Re
publicans will have a comfortable
working majority in both branches.
In the popular vote Hoover wins
over Smith by about five and a half
million in a total of over thirty-two
millions. Hoover had about 60 per
cent of the vote, or not far from what
the Literary Digest predicted.

ONE-SIXTH OF OUR TIME
USED TO PAY TAXES.
While, in the majority of busi
nesses, the tax bill is one of the great
est single items of overhead, business
men §jive far less thought and con
sideration to this expense than to
other, and often smaller, expenditures
which they control directly.
According to an article in the Tax
Digest, approximately one-sixth of
our national income now goes to pay
the cost of government. Three years
ago, in 1925, one-eighth of our na
tional income was used for this pur
pose. And before the war taxes took
but one-sixteenth.
Governmental activities and main
tenance in general are becoming
steadily more expensive with little
sign of improvement. In spite of
federal economies, the costs of State,
ounty and cit ygovernments have so
increased that the average citizen is
carrying a greater burden than ever
before.
The business man should realize
that one-sixth of his working time
belongs to the tax collector under ex
isting conditions. Ever sixth automo
bile, every sixth kilowatt of electric-
I ity, every sixth bushel of wheat pro-
' duced goes to the tax office.
If we are to have reduction, we
: must have public interest that exam
ines and controls expenditures. A lax
public consciousness results in politi-
al extravagance and waste that must
leave its mark on personal and gen
eral prosperity.
I NORTH CAROLINA FREE
FROM BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS
North Carolina is now free from
bovine tuberculosis, being the first
State in the Union to achieve this
distinction, it was announced by Com-
mssioner of Agriculture William A.
Graham tonight. Papers covering the
list of the one hundred counties of
the State having completed the work
have been fowarded to Washington
and official accreditation is expected
to follow shortly.
The work was started under the
late Major Graham in 1918 and has
been steadily in progress since that
time, under the direction of Dr. Wil
liam Moore, State Veterinarian. The
present Commissioner of Agriculture,
a son of Major Graham, has given the
work his hearty co-operation and has
co-operated in securing the county aid
I necessary to push it to a successful
I conclusion. “I am highly gratified
* that this distinction has come to North
Carolina,” he said “All the other
states are now trailing North Caro
lina whose nearest rival has only
about half completed the work neces
sary to secure full accreditation.”
