New York City FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1928 FI TI RE SEEMS BRIGHT FOR SMITH FIELD— The Kiwanis Club is to be congratulated upon its objectives for 1928. particularly that of sponsoring a Chamber of Commerce foi Smithtield with a whole time secretary. This city has arrived at the point when an organization of this kind can have a big in fluence on its future progress. Thee number of people who come to Smithtield is evidence that we are drawing from a large back ter ritory. It never looks dull on our streets. And there is something to back this coming to Smithtield. People have business here. Some come to trade; some come to attend court; some for the pleasure of going some where. But for whatever cause, they come. And people will spend a little money when they come. It may be only for a lunch at the cafe, or for a cold drink at the drug store, or it may be for a bill of dry goods for the family, or for fertilizer for the, next year’s crop. Every little bit spent helps busi iness, and a Chamber of Commerce can help to make it still more attractive for those of the surrounding country. An indication that business is good is the fact that with the exception of the Austin stores, there is pot a single vacant store in town, and not but one or two vacant dwellings. Buildings are being erected that are filling up gaps in the main business section, and a solid phalanx of business houses will soon greet the eye of the passerby. Some one has suggested that more whole sale businesses of various kinds would be an asset here. The two hard surface roads Phut intersect here make the place an ideal dis tributing point for almost any commodity. It is signficant that automobile agencies have found Smithtield to be a stragetic lo cation, and now all of the leading agencies are represented here. Three big gasoline companies, Standard Oil, Texaco, and Sin clair, all have Smithfield as a distributing point. The automobile and gasoline indus try is no small item in the business world these days, and it is gratifying that Smith field has been chosen as a center of opera tions in this section. It has also been pointed out that during the past year Smithfield sold more cotton than in many years in the past. This is worth noting and everything possible should be done to foster a cotton market here. The farmers' interests, their convenience in handling their cotton should be carefully looked after, and a Chamber of Commerce will certainly be a useful organization in promoting a cotton market. If the business firms of tile town can unite in a program of advertising the ad vantages here, there is no reason why Smithfield's future he not assured. A steady solid growth is what inspires confidence, and that is what we want. The Kiwanis Clue should receive hearty cooperation when it decides to launch the project of establishing a Chamber of Commerce. LOCAL INVENTION A CREDIT-— It is a credit to Smithfied that it has pro duced an inventon at all. It is a matter of special gratification that a son of Smilhfield has produced an invention that will help to lighten the work of the world, that will be an economic aid in road maintenance, a thing that has become of vital concern to most of us. J. II. Kirkman lias always had a mechanical turn of mind and it is not sur prising that he has evolved something worth while of a mechanical nature. Now that his highway marking and painting machine is ready to be put on the market, it would cer tainly he fitting that a local company he formed to accomplish this. The invention is a good thing but it will take advertising to toll the world about it. Who can better do this than those who have seen the machine work and know that it has big possibilities. AN INSTITUTION TO HE PROUD 01 — People frequently wonder how Johnston County got along without a hospital for so long. We hear it on all sides, and with one accord those who have had any dealings with the hospital here are unstinted in their praise of the treatment and the cordiality extended to patients and the friends of the patients. It was certainly the thing to do to build an institution well equipped and modern in every way, one that is adequate to take care of the needs of this section. The Johnston County Hospital is something to be proud of, and everybody in the county is proud of il. Tile report of .the (last year rendered at the annual stockholders meeting held recently shows that it is being manag ed in a business like manner and improve ments are being continually made None of us want to have to patronize a hospital but it is a good feeling to know that a well run institution is at our doors if such a need should arise. The scribe from Princeton is lamenting the fact that while farmers are already looking to a new crop too many of them are not planning to roise their feed stuff. They will do as they have been doing, buy shipped, in hay when they can raise it on their own farms. Until farmers really “live at home,” the boll weevil will continue to be a pest. For several mornings this week as we came to our work we have watched a family of blue birds disporting themselves as though it were spring time sure enough. Not long ago some of the shrubs on the lawn showed signs of white, another harbinger of spring. The weather for the past weeks has been fine, but we are wondering what too long a mild spell might do for our fruit trees. Pear and peach, cherry and plum trees will soon be showing their beautiful blossoms unless winter weather returns at an early date. Dr. Frank Crane Says I inrj unun in in- PEACE The peace idea is gradually growing. Peace will never be se cured by any artificial means un til there is sufficient sentiment be hind it. That sentiment must grow. If cannot be manufactured. Of course every intelligent ef fort .to promote peace helps along the growth and should be encour aged, but it should be remembered that universal peace is not upon a solid foundation except as based Upon the will of all the people everywhere. Lillian Gish, the movie actress, 6aid the other day: “I believe the screen will bring all men to a common conception of one God and to a universal sense of interna tional relation and duty.” One of the great factors in the growth of peace is the movie. It speaks not in words suitable for one people and not another, but by pictures which are understandable by all. An Italian paper recently pro tested against the influence of American Hollywood screens. This is like protesting against the pro cession fo the equinoxes. I have seen films all through Europe and most of the American ideas, commerce, the movies, art, grow and spread, to that degree must provincalism and nationalism formed upon which to erect the ones. Europeans are fond of Amer ican films, for. the simplest reason in the world. They arc better than the European and cheaper. Against these two arguments it is useless to object. American films are steadily spreading the democratic ideas of freedom and equality all over the world. Old notions of vested priv ilege, old institutions founded upon tradition must give way. Along with the film come other things that are universal and in ternational, that know no nations and do not understand the langu age of “patriotism”—art, literature ad commerce. In the matter of art it makes no difference where one comes from nor who was one’s The Broadcaster * * * A near-sighted man accompanied his wife to a portrai tgallery. “Tha i’s the ugliest portrait I’ve ever seen!” he cried, striving vain ly for a belter view of the abom ination. ’ “Ccme away, you silly!” replied his wife. “That’s a mirror.” 3,281 Mile Trip In Ninety Hours— New Car Record.

Kenly, Jan. 19.-—The star of the nativity which was given in the graded school Christmas, was re peated at the Methodist church on Sunday evening, January 15. The church was beautifully decorated with white and green. A mass of cedars and long leaf pines form ed the background for the white draped chancel. The pageant was divided into four acts. The first, the annuncia tion. the second, the appearance of Angels to the Shepherds, and th* third, manger scene, with the worship of the Christ child by the shepherds and wise men. The fourth the Holy family. Appropriate music was beauti fully rendered by the choir during the pageant. Solo, “Away in a Manger,” by E. V. Neighbors; “O Holy Night,” Mrs. II. M.

Each evening she washed them all from toe to head', With a flour bag wash-cloth, then tucked them in bed, Then she made aprons, bibs and nighties of bags. And her children though numer ous were never in rags. She made dolls for the girls, base ball suits for the boys, And taught them all to mix thrift with their joys, “Fifty-seven varieties” she knew would be few, To list all the uses empty bags can be put to. Moral: Use cotton bags—the economical flour package. MISS HUFF READS PAPER AT MISSIONARY MEETING The Woman’s Missionary Socie ty of the First Baptist church held ?n unusually interesting meeting this week when Miss Huff gave the first study of the new year’s program. Her subject was “Is There a Crisis in Morals and Re ligion?” Her speech was based on a parallelism between the time in which the Hebrew prophet Amos lived and that of bur American oration today. It was a great pleas ure to have one of our public school teachers put time and thought on such an effort and bring to the society a study of rare value and interest. She por trayed with great vividness the luxury and oppression of the time of Amos, his dramatic warnings to the people, the terrible clou:! that for years hung over the na tion as they forgot God, and the final storm that engulfed them Many likenesses were found be tween their natiort and ours that justified her in reaching the con clusion that there is a crisis in our national life which we will either grow’ w'orsc or improve. A round table discussion fol lowed in which Christians wrere reminded that Jesus said “Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted?” Subjects for other book studies during the year are as follows: i “Work as a Preventive Against Backsliding.” j “Christ’s Practice of Prayer.” 1 “Church Envelope System and j Tithing.” | “The Burden of the City.” ^ “The Old Testament Message to the Nations.” “Our Junior Task.” “Native Christianity in China.’1 “India’s Call.” “Heathenism in Tibet.” j Christmas subject: “Our Btoys land World Peace.” Attending Furniture Exposition.
