WORST OF ALL CRIMES.
THE MICROSCOPE.
PAGAN RELIGIONS.
THE KING S PRAYER BOOK.

California and the whole coun '
try are shocked by a dreadful kid
napping and murder in Los Ang-2- ;
les. The unhappy father, obeying |
the orders of the kidnaper, hand- !
) him ^1,500 in gold certificates,
/ Jnd in return received part of the
/ody of his twelve-year-old daugh
ter, dreadfully mutilated.
The'worst of crimes is kidnap-1
ping, since it inflicts upon fathers i
and mothers torments most horri
ble. That crime should be pun- 1
ished with utmost severity, and j
when guilt is certain with no delay.!
Dr. William J. Mayo, one of thej
famous brothers, says science!
learns more about diseased from!
the microscope than in any otheij
way. Man’s brain is a “visual!
organ,” and must see, to know. I
The introduction of the micro-i
scope by the Jansses, late in the
sitxeenth century, has done more1
to advance learning than any;
other agent, says Dr. Mayo.
Real learning owes more to'
Galileo’s introduction of the tele- j
scope, at the beginning of ‘ thei
fcyenteenth century, than to the
Bbroscope. Seeing the germs
■at cause disease is important, I
■it less so than seeing distant!
Bns and nebulae. Perhaps, a?1

That is the convenient thing

The receipts during the month

han in 1926 but in spite of this
act, the Christmas rush was handl

if mail early campaigns that have

SENATOR T. L. JOHNSON
IS PAINFULLY INJURED
LUMBERTON, Jan. 3.For
mer State Senator T. L. John
son of Lumberton was painful
ly though not seriously injur
ed about 7 o’clock Saturday
I evening when his Chrysler*
automobile went over an em
| bankment, turned over twice
and was wrecked tifro miles
I from Benson.
Mr. Johnson was returning to
Lumberton from Smithfield at the
i time of . the accident. He had been
noticing his car pulling to the left.
Wjhen going to Smithfield he was
aware of this but was unable to de
termine the cause. Near Benson on
'the return the car suddenly swerv
ed to the left and wnt ?own the
embankment. Mr. Johnson was
knocked unconscious. When he
came to his senses, an 18-year-old
boy, whom he had passed, was
rendering his assistance. Mr. John
son was carried to Benson, giver
medical treatment and then carried
home, arriving about 10:35, and is
under care of his physician at his
home. He is confined to his home
'with injuries to his nose, righi
hand, shoulder and other minoi
bruises that are painful but noi
.serious.
Every glass in the car was brok
\en and Mr. Johnson’s escape fron
serious or fatal injury seems mi
jraeulous. The wreck was causee
by something wrong with th<
■steering arrangement, for the ca

of Club Work — Choost
Nominating Committee
♦ .—
“The test of a club program,’
declared Mrs. W. T., Bost of Ral
eigh, who addressed the loca
Woman’s club at its regular meet
ing here Wednesday afternoon
“should be whether the program is
meeting the needs of the town ir
making it a better place in whic?
boys and girls may live and de
velop.” The establishment of s
library, the espousal of bettei
movies, the building of boys and
girls camps, the sale of only the
best magazines on the newsstand;
were some of the worthwhile ob
jectives touched on by the speakei
who was heard by a goodly crowd
r>f ladies interested in club work in
Smithfield.
ivirs. Dost s talk dealt not onlj
vVith suggestions for purely local
propositions, but she pointed out
^ow local clubs may be in touch
with the State federation. She
told of the federation headquarters
established in the Sir Waltaer ho
tel at Raleigh, of the help that
may be had there in preparing pro
grams for meetings, in securing
speakers for the furtherance of
projects undertaken by the various
dubs. She called attention to things
:hat the club woman is able to
have a part in because she is a
dub woman. The work that is done
through the Sallie Southall Cotton
Loan Fund in financing the edu
cation of twenty-one girls this
y’ear is alone, thinks Mrs. Bost,
enough to justify the existence of
the clubs in North Carolina. The
oart the federation had in secur
ng Samarcand, is another achieve
nent to be proud of.
Mrs. Bost closed her remaiks by
;elling what other clubs are doing
n the way of building club homes,
;his part of her talk having a spec
al interest to the Smithfield club
because, for several years this has
3een the aim of the local club. A
lot has been purchased and for
several years the club has been
carrying shares in the Building and
Loan Association.
At the meeting Wednesday, Mrs,
W. H. Lyon presided. She is the
club president for this month, car
rying out the plan for each for
mer president to have oversight
:>f the club for a month each dur
ing this club year. After healing
the reports of the different depart
ments, a nominating committee
was elected which will name offi
cers for next year. This committee
will report at the February meet
ing, the report to lay on the table
for another month wihen the tickel
named will be voted on. Those con
stituting the nominating* committee
are: Miss Ruth Jones, chairman
Mrs. H. L. Skinner, Mrs. T. J. Las

After the program, Mrs. Rogei
