N. C. Newbofd Speaks
To Colored School;
Talks On Program of Negro
Education in North Caro
lina; Commends Progress
in Johnston County
-♦
“Johnston county is among the
'roup of counties in North Caro
ina that is doing the most for
Negro education,” declared Mr. N.
C. Newbold, State Director of Ne
*ro Education, in an address which
he delivered at the county com
mencement held in the Johnston
County Training School here Wed
nesday. Mr. Newbold, who was in
roduced by Mr. N. C. Shuford,
superintendent of the Smfthfield
school system, proceeded to out
line the program of negro educa
tion in North Carolina. He quoted
the Governor of the state and Dr.
Chase, president of the State Uni
versity, in regard to the program
for negro education in North Caro
lina.
He spoke of the school building
program, commenting upon the ac
complishments of the Rosenwald
Fund, and calling attention to the
fact that the assemblage Wednes- .
day was being held in a building .
that was partly built with Rosen
wciiu iiiuiiu,). no u'lau but'Mtu »ujj
ervision of teachers, and then the
work of the teacher himself. “Fif
teen years ago,” he said, “there
was not a single standard high
school for negroes in North Caro
lina. Seven years ago there were
only thirteen. Today there are 56
and in five years there will be
more than a hundred.” As evidence
that the negro children are taking
advantages of high school train
ing, he cited the fact that the j
graduating class of the Johnston ,
County 'Training School this year
numbers 28.
The program of the county com
mencement included contests of
various kinds. Several schools con- ,
tributed choruses that were enjoy- ;
?d, and one school was represented |
in a folk dance-.
Exhibits of work done in the
winning schools of the different |
groups, were arranged in some of
ihe class rooms, these being judg
ed by Miss Minnie Lee Garrison,
county home agent.
These county commencements,
which are preceded by group com
mencements, are annual affairs.

Maj. Snow Will Visit Bentonville
To Make Investigations For The !
Government On Nat’l Park Idea
Johnstonians and especially citi
zens of Bentonville township will
learn with pleasure that the mat
ter of making of the Bentonville
battleground a national park, is
not at a standstill. Investigations
concerning this movement are pro
ceeding, the next step being a visit
to the battleground by Major W.
Snow, of Wilmington, district
engineer of the U. S. Engineers of
fice, for the purpose of determin
ng the cost of making a survey
jf the field, and of investigating
the methods of marking it.
It will be recalled that a bill
vas prepared for Congress some
ime ago asking for an appropria
ion to make of the Bentonville
jattleground a national park, and
he matter was referred to the
Secretary of War. Governor Mc
Lean, who has shown an active in
erest in the matter, communicat
'd with Secretary Davis who re
died that a preliminary examina
ion would be made by the district
engineer at Wilmington.
| Accordingly, Major Snow, the
j district engineer, has advised Gov
j ernor McLean that he will go to
| the Bentonville battleground on
i May *1, and that he will be glad
j to meet any interested parties at
j the Bentonville pest cilice at ten
'o’clock on that day. Major Snow
1 has also communicated with Mrs.
John II. Anderson, of Fayetteville,
chairman of the Bentonville bat
tlefield committee of the U. D. C.,
and Mrs. Anderson will join Major
Snow at Bentonville on May 4. In
communicating with Mrs. Ander
son, Major Snow makes the fol
lowing statement:
“The instructions regarding the
survey of this battlefield require
that the front lines occupied by
the troops from day to day be
marked at intervals of about a
quarter of a mile, and that small
plots of land, about 100 square
feet each, be obtained on which to
place the markers. I am directed,

Revival To Begin
At Baptist Church
’astor Will Do The Preaching
Hut H. B. Smith Will Di
rect the Singing; Pastor
Makes Appeal
Next Sunday a series of revival
neetings will begin at the Bap
ist church to continue about ten
lays. The pastor, Rev. S. L. Mor
gan, will do the preaching, biji,
Jr. H. B. Smith, of Clayton, will
lirect the music. Mr. Smith has
ed the singing for a revival here
lefore, and he will be cordially
welcomed here again.
The pastor, Mr. Morgan, makes
he following impressive appeal to
he citizens of this community to
!o-operate in the services at his
hurch:
“I beg leave hereby to appeal to
ill public-spirited citizens, and not ■
nerely to Christian people, to givo
hese meetings their sympathy and
upport. I make the appeal with
onfidence. It is a familiar fact to- ;
lay that many of the leading men ;
f the nation are openly declaring .
hait the only thing that can solve
iur nation’s problems and save the
lation from decay is a genuine re- j
■ival of old-time religion. Fre- i
luently judges on the bench, busi j
less men of national reputation,
tatesmen of world fame, and edi
ors of the greatest secular news
apers, openly and earnestly preach
hat only a revival of true religion
an check the crime wave, secure
bedience to law, and keep our na
ion off the rocks. My appeal is
ar broader than that of a pasitor
isking for help in a meeting in
iis church; it is rather that of a
lublic-spirited citizen earnestly
lesiring to promote the good of
11 the community in which he
ives. Every clear-headed business
nan sees that any meeting in any
hurch that promotes real religion
5 promoting sobriety, thrift, in
lustry and honesty, and so is help
ng his business. My appeal there
ore is not to help me nor help a
hurch, but to help the thing that
lelps him.
“Our services will begin at 7:45
aeh evening. Mr. H. B. Smith, an
xcellent soloist, will direct the
inging. I shall do my best to
ireach just such messages as I
>elieve the people of our own com- j
nunity need most. I earnestly in
'ite the attendance and the help
>f Christians in general and of the i
ingers of the other churches in
(articular.”

The Misses Smith
Highly Enthused
Over Dress Sale
-+
Greatest Event Of Its Kind Ever
Held Here, Closes Saturday
Night.
In an interview just before go
ing to press with Miss Vara Smith,
of the firm of Vara L. & Alma C.
Smith, appeared, highly pleased
with the results obtained during
the first day of the tremendous
dress sale which they are staging
for three days this week—Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday.
Miss Smiith stated that this
event was the result of much prep
aration and that she believed it to
be the biggest event of its kind
ever attempted by any firm in the
south in a town the size of Smith
field.
When the sale opened Thursday
morning at nine o’clock more than
eight hundred dresses were on dis
play, portraying every conceivable
new style and in sizes for every
figure—dresses that emphasize ev
ery new fashion in line, color and
ornament. To repeat the phrase
used in the advertisement they are
“as new as tomorrow’s sunshine.”
When asked how it is possible
to sell such high quality dresses at
such ail unusually low price v
$15), Miss Smith stated that it was
necessarily a volume proposition,
making: it imperative to sell hun
dreds of dresses instead of dozens,
as is usually the case. The dresses
are being sold in pairs only—some
what like men buy their cigars—
“2 for 15.”
Miss Smith also stated that
there would be no red tape to this
sale—you simply take your choice
of any two dresses in the collec
tion for $15. In saying all dresses
will be sold in pairs only does not
necessarily mean that each lady at
tending the sale must buy two
dresses; mother and daughter or
two friends coming together may
each buy one dress which will be
considered as one sale.
There are few merchants—even
in the larger cities who ever dis
play 800 dresses at any one time,
and Miss Smith said she didn’t be
lieve this many dresses would be
found in any store in the state at
any one price, and certainly not at
such an attractive price as this
group is being offered.
All dresses are being displayed
on racks according to size, and
plenty of extra salesladies will be
on hand to assist you in making
a selection.

Johnston County’s
Art Exhibit Good
# 1
Selma Wins Prize For Best
General Display; Other!
Prizes; Exceeds Expecta
tions of Promoters
Johnston county’s art exhibit is
a creditable affair, but even at
that it does not represent all of
the talent in the county. There
are artists who for one reason or
another do not have their work on
display, but the quantity that is
being shown surpassed even the
expectations of those in charge of
the exhibits. When Mrs. B. A. Ho
cutt, chairman of the thirteenth 1
district and president of the Clay- !
ton Woman’s club, met in Febru
ary with a committee from each
of the federated clubs in Johnston
county at the home of Miss Mar
garet Etheridge in Selma, it was
hoped that at least one room of
the courthouse might be filled with
home talent speciments of art. But
when the exhibits began to arrive
Tuesday it was soon evident that
the grand jury room would be too
small to display t,ho exhibits to
advantage and it was necessary to
use also the offices of the home
demonstration agent. Both of these
rooms are completely filled with
specimens of water colors, oil
paintings, painted china, free hand
drawings, and handicraft. The six
towns of the county where the
federated clubs are located are as
follows: Kenly, Selma, Smithfield,
Henson, Clayton and Wilson’s Mills.
There is an exhibit on display from
each of these towns. Miss Marga
ret Etheridge, chairman of the
committee to put on the art ex
hibit, is assisted each day by ladies
from the different clubs. A regis
tration book is in each room and
those who visit the exhibit are re
quested to enroll their names in
one of the books.
A good part of the opening day,
Wednesday, was taken up with the
judging of the exhibits. Several
cash prizes have been offered and
Miss Isabelle Bowen, who conducts
an art studio in Raleigh, was se
cured to make the awards. After
going over the works of art which
were on display she decided that
Selma has the best exhibit as a
whole-. The prize for the best pic
ture, a lovely study in color ef
fects, goes to Miss Louise Parker,
of Benson. Paul Etheridge, a ten
year-old grammar grade boy, of
Kenly, wins the prize for the best
group of original drawings. The
prize for the best design in colored
paper cut work goes to Miss Ellen
Broadhurst, of Smithfield, her de
sign of a house showing superior
cnowledge of color and proportions.
Sexton Leighton, of Clayton, gets
an award for his display of wood
?arving. A replica of the Johnston
county courthouse is among the
articles in his exhibit. Miss Mar
garet Etheridge of Selma is the
recipient of the prize for the best
piece of hand painted china. The
piece selected oy tne judge is a
Belleek enamel (bowl.
Besides the exhibits that bear
due ribbons, a number of other
pictures attract the eye of those
.vho go through the rooms. One
is invariably attracted by a large
study in pastel, blue and yellow'
ris, painted by Mrs. E. S. Ed
nundson, of Smithfield. The pic
;ur eis very decorative and has
oeen much admired. Also a char
coal drawing of the old covered
bridge that formerly spanned
Meuse River at this place made by
VI rs. D. H. Jones, of Smithfield, is
much commented upon. In addition
;o this sketch, Mrs. Jones has on
lisplay two other charcoal studies,
Biblical scenes, and one sketch
-nade with a lead pencil.
Two pastels, decorative land
scape compositions, one by a
grammar grade pupil and the oth
?r by a high school pupil of the
Clayton school have been much
admired. A large painting on a
piece of tapestry by Mrs. Elling
;on of Raleigh but owned by a
Clayton woman has received favor
able comment. The china painting
of Miss Zula McCullers and Mrs.
I). J. Thurston has been been much
admired, and also the collection of
hand painted china done by Miss
Margaret Etheridge of Selma.
Miss Bowen, the judge, made hon
orable mention of a free hand
drawing of cyclamen by Edw'ard

Kiwanians Discuss
Tobacco Market
-4
Gray Staples, Just Back
From Europe, Comments
On Redrying and Stemming
Facilities in Smithfield
Strong arguments in favor of
selling tobacco on the Smithfield
market were advanced yesterday
jy several tobacconists who spoke
before the local Kiwanians. Gray
Staples of the Glass-Staples To
bacco company, who has just re
turned from a business trip to
Europe, said that the big tobacco
companies of the world were look
ing with favor on the Smithfield
tobacco market because of the ex- j
rellent facilities for redrying and
stemming the tobacco. To have the j
tobacco quickly treated by these
excellent plants in Smithfield!
makes it more valuable to the big j
companies, and therefore they are
looking with favor on the Smith
field market rather than on some
jf the larger markets. The tobacco
cannot be handled so quickly on
the big markets as it can in
Smithfield, said Mr. Staples.
lvir. £>coit, local representative ol
:he Tobacco Trading Corporation,
said that if the farmers would
Jring their very best grades of to
bacco to Smithfield and sell it that
le believed that the price paid per
lundred pounds on the Smithfield
narket would be higher than the
Jrice paid per hundred pounds on
he Wilson market.
Mr. O. C. Cawley and Mr. W. G.
fllass spoke of the possibilities of
he Smithfield market. Mr. Glass
Jointed out the value of the re
Irying and stemming plants to the
ocal market and stated that the
Jlants were capable of handling
several times the amount of to
bacco as is sold on the Smithfield
narket. The speakers made a deep
mpression and convinced their au
iience that the very best thing for
be farmer to do for his own bene
it was to sell his tobacco on,the
Smithfield market.

County Highway
Commission: Leaves
Problem To State
Authorities; Cele
brate Road Work in
Oneals With A Bar
becue
-<•
The County Highway Commis
sion in a meeting held Wednesday
after the barbecue dinner in
Oneals township in celebration of
the completion of the road work in
that section of the county, held a
business session and- came to the
decision that the matter of locat
ing the Henderson-Clinton high
way that passes through northern
Johnston, would be left to the dis
cretion of the State Highway
Commission. It developed after the
mass meeting held here recently in
which three routes were vigorously
advocated, that the contract be
tween the county and the State
Highway Board reserved the right
to the State Highway Board of lo
cating the road. This fact together
with other considerations led to a
unanimous decision Wednesday.
The various districts have form
ed a sort of habit of celebrating
when they finish an unusually fine
piece of road work and this time
the celebration was staged in Dr.
J. C. Grady’s district, which is
number five. About 150 citizens of
\jneais aim omer secuuus or uie
county met Wednesday at the con
vict camp located at Dixie, and
enjoyed a veritable feast of good
things to eat as well as the pleas
ure of shaking hands with friends
and neighbors.
Barbecue prepared by the con
victs themselves, fried chicken,
ham, cakes and pies and all the
other viands that go to make a
picnic dinner were served at the
noon hour, after Rev. W. A. Hales
had returned thanks. After the
splendid meal, a number of those
present experessed gratification
jver the road building program
now being carried' out in Johnston
county.
Mr. James A. Wellons, an ar
dent good roads advocate, was
master of ceremonies, and he call
ed first upon Hon. Paul D. Grady.
Mr. Grady spoke in complimen
tary terms of the occasion and of
his pleasure at being there. He
s proud of the road work and in
fitting words said so. Mr. W. N.
Holt, Dr. J. C. Grady, Mr. A. R.
Gilbert, and Mr. C. P. Harper, all
members of the County Highway
Board, were in turn called upon
to say something, and with one
iccord they expressed satisfaction
over the progress being made.
Roads are being built and at a less
cost than was anticipated when
the budget was made. Dr. Grady
innouneed that Oneals has now her
share of roads, and from now on
iperations will be in Beulah and
Boon Hill, the two other town
ships comprising his district.
The occasion was one of good
fellowship and was a fitting ex
pression of the appreciation of the
section for the splendid roads that
lave been built.
A camouflaged still was raided
in New Jersey. It was making stuff
camoflouged as whiskey.
