All indications point to a record-
breaking attendance at the Annual
Moore County Sunday School conven
tion, which is to be held Sunday, Octo- i
bar 11th, 1931, in Yates-Thagard .
Baptist Ghurch. The opening session
will convene at 9:45 a. m. ;
According to the announcements I
made by the officers of the County
Sunday School Association, the pro
gram has been prepared with the idea
of having a convention in which there
will be discussions of Sunday School
plans and problems, the arrangement
being to give something in the con- ,
vention that will help the workers of
all departments of the Sunday School. :
Among the speakers on the pro
gram will be the Rev. Shuford Peel
er, Salisbury, General Secretary of
the North Carolina Sunday School As
sociation. Many prominent local
speakers will address the convention
<on various phases of Sunday School
work.
As has been previously announced
a pennant will be presented to the
Sunday School having at the conven
tion the largest average attendance
based on miles traveled, fifteen years
of age and over. The mileage will be
estimated from a particular church
to the church with which the conven
tion is held. The contest is ,open to all
Sunday Schools of the county, except
the school with which the convention
is held and others within a mile. The
pennant will be presented at the close
of the afternoon session.

Stnithers Burt Picks Up
Sandhills Sixteen Record in
Small Wyoming Village
“This is the best summer resort
I’ve f,ound. It was twice as hot in
New York yesterday as it is here,”
said Struthers Burt, well known
Sandhills author, as he stepped
from the train at Southern Pines
Wednesday morning after spending
the summer in Wyoming.
Mr. Burt did not have time for
an interview at the station, but
told one anecdote of an experience
he had this summer. He was in one
of the smallest, off-the-beaten-
path villages in Wyoming one day.
While talking to a rancher in a lit
tle hut he espied a victrola, and
casually picked up one of the rec
ords laying beside it. It was made
by the Sandhills Sixteen.

Monday was a busy day in Record
er’s court, a large number of cases be
ing finally disposed of and several
others continued.
Erwin Lambeth, white, who was
tried in August 1929 for larceny, sen-
i tenced to from three to four years in
State’s Prison, and paroled on Sep
tember 6, 1930, was in court Monday
to answer to a charge of larceny of
two game roosters from W. S. Evans.
Prayer was continued until the court
could hear from the Governor.
Elisha Higgins pleaded guilty to
assault with a deadly weapon, and
prayer for judgement was continued
upon payment of the costs and a hos
pital bill of $27.

Romance and thrilling action come
together in “Riders of The Purple
Sage,” which comes to the Carolina
Theatre this Saturday (one day
only) with a matinee at 3:00, t^o make
it one of the recommended pictures
of the day. Fox films has made this
famous Zane Grey subject one of those
infrequent so-called “‘program pic
tures” that emerges fr,om the studios
as a real epic, a perfect harmony of
cast, story, setting and direction that
results-is a picture to be talked about
and ren.embered.
George O’Brien, in the role of Las
siter, the heroic stranger, has the
finest role of his career; Marguerite
Churchill is beautiful and convincing
as Jane Withersteen, owner of the
historic ranch that Lassiter saves
fro mthe depredations of Noah Beery,
who plays a villian you ache to hiss.
The story is one |0f the best that
ever galloped fro mthe prolific pen

membered as a former guest of Mrs.
S. J. Gardner at her home here. .
The Girl’s Circle met with Miss Cleo
Gilmore Friday, with a reqord-break-
ing attendance. Mrs. Stedman Bal
lard had charge of the program,
which was greatly enjoyed. Dainty re
freshments were served at the close
of the meeting.

James Wray, colored, for public

in “Palmy Days,” the famous comic’s
second screen vehicle which will be
presented at the Carolina Theatre
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday with
a Tuesday matinee. Surrounded by
myriads of feminine pulchritude,
Pogany settings, an outstanding cast
and a story in which Cant^or collab
orated with Morrie Ryskind and Dav
id Freeman, the stor of “Palmy Days”
projects himself from hilarity to up
roariousness in a series of ingenious
Cant,or situations.
In “Palmy Days” Cantor uses the
bland nonsense of his newest picture
as an attack on the practice of spiri
tualism and fortune teling. Eddie ap
pears as the unwilling assistant to a
gang of fake mystics, through whicl!
is revealed some of the cr0|0ked tac
tics of the craft that annually is said
to mulct the public out of $125,000,-
000. A deviation from spiritualism to
the role of bakery efficiency mana
ger pr,ovides one of the highlights in
successive waves of mirth apd excite
ment experienced by Cantor and his
troupe.
Sharing the comedy honors with the
beady-eyed and ebullient Eddie is
elongated Charlotte Greenwood. To
gether they lead their company
thr.ough a striking gymnasium num
ber, giving more authenitcity than us
