Tobacco Growers To Confer
With Members of Congress
and /With Representative
of Tobacco Companies
Representatives from a meeting
of tobacco growers from seven
counties in Eastern North Caro
lina held recently at Farmville
went to Raleigh Saturday to con
fer with W. A. Graham, commis
sioner of agriculture, and other?
in regard to the low prices which
are being paid for tobacco. It was
the sentiment of the conference
that the heads of the four or five
big companies which buy nearly
all of the tobacco should be
made acquainted with the situa
tion, and accordingly telegrams
were sent to Senator Simmons in
Washington asking for a confer
ence with North Carolina mem
bers of Congress with the view
to a meeting finally with the to
bacco companies. Senator Sim
mons wired Commissioner Gra
ham that the two meetings eoulii
be arranged. Senator Simmons
suggested that the committee
from North Carolina meet with
the representatives in Congress on
Tuesday morning and that it meet
Vith the committee of tobacco
buyers on Wednesday. The ar
rangement was satisfactory.
Yesterday was the wedding day
of John Coolidge son of ex-Pres
ident and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge,
and Miss Florence Trumbull,

of Mrs. Calvin Coolidge. Mr.
Coolidge’s gift was not revealed.
Governor and Mrs. TrumbulJ
have given the couple a mahog
any dining room suit and a set
of painted furniture for their
breakfast nook. They expect to
live in a four and a half room
apartment in Westville, a N*\v
Haven suburb. The list of eighty
two persons invited to the wed
ding included a former president,
two United States senators, a
former senator, and four former
Connecticut governors.

The Baptist church here began
its school of missions Inst Sun
day with two strong addresses to
large congregations by Dr. W.
L. Poteat, president emeritus of
Wake Forest College. Classes are
being held each night for men
and women and for young people
and children of all grades in the
study of missions. Last night the
speaker at the general meeting
was Rev. E. Gibson Davis, pa&or.

to be Rev. E. McNeill Poteat, c
' Raleigh, who recently came froi:
China to the pastorate of .hi
Pullen Memorial Baptist church
He is a nephew of Dr. W. i
Poteat. and is declared to be £
speaker of unusual eloquence, ar.'
also a singer and musician o1
ability. Wednesday night Mrs. M
L. Braun, of Chapel Hill, a Chi
nese missionary will be the prin
cipal speaker, as she is also the
leading instructor during the
week. Thursday night Dr. I. E.
D. Andrews, Baptist pastor at
Clayton, will make the general
address, and Friday night Rev
M. L. Braun of Chapel Hill vill
show the stereopticon picture*
taken by him in China.
In spite of bad weather two
arge congregations turned out to
hear Dr. Poteat Sunday, the Meth
odist congregation at night cab
ng in its service. In the morn
ing, Dr. Poteat discussed “Two
Realms of Reality,” under which
he showed the relation between
science and religion. He fir't
showed that the popular mind has
pot as yet been greatly influenced
iy science, as implied by the su
perstitions that yet widely pre
vail as to the number 13, the
■igr.s of the moon, the good luck
in a horseshoe, or the bad luck
in a black cat. He said the church
jseH to fear science and oppose
it, because often it attacked its
superstitions or exploded its false
deas as to the facts of the phy
sical world, some times wPh ar
iir of egotism and irreverence
Two great revolutions, he said
had taken place in science in th*3
last fifty years. The first was.
ibout 1885, when scientists began
:o show a becoming modesty and
reverence and to confess frank.?,
-.hat there was much that they
lid not know. The second revolu
tion has come in the last few
years. The old theory that matte,
s composed of atoms has g’ver
□lace to the theory that the atom

leaving the mind staggering un

may itself be force. The greatest
scientists frankly concede that
ihey can tell us nothing about

finite reaches of the heavens, as
all the greatest scientists todaj
frankly confess, brings the baf

from which they fancy they *an

not the enemy, but the handmaid
of religion and the missionary.
At night Dr. Poteat discussed
“World Peace.” He named some
of the causes of war: the rivalry
of nations to secure markets in
other countries for protection f
their property rights, the desire
of manufacturers of munitions to
stir up war for the sake of selling
their goods, the unwarranted dar

in international affairs, and the

BYRD ANTARTK EXPEDITION
IS IN NEED OF COFFEE NONA
i < HA'RLOTTE. Sept. 23— J
i brit^ radio message bearing *1
I urgent request for five hundrei
I additional pounds of coffee ha
been received from the Byrd Ant
arctic Expedition Base on th
I Ice Barrier Little America.
Within the short space of abou
one year the members of thi
| expedition have consumed almos
. the entire original shipment o
. two and one half tons of Boka
coffee. This quantity of coffe<
means 5,000 one pound tins
enough to supply a normal family
for more than ten years.
It is natural for the men or
i.ittle America, where they art
enduring the bitterest cold knowr
to man, to have a keen desire foi
a steaming hot cup of this stim
ulating beverage and this huge
consumption of coffee is a certain
sign of their liking the particular
brand that is served.
Their request for coffee is be
mg answered immediately by
the Great Atlantic and Pacific
Tea company. A shipment of five
oundred pounds of Bokar coffer,
of which the A&P food stores sell
more than one million pounds a
month, is being sent on the whal
ing vessel, Nielsen-Alonso, which
left Norfolk this week and is sail
ing direct to the ice barrier on
which the expedition is encamp
'd. This will reach tbe ice har
der around Christmas as it is
impossible for a ship to break

MYSTERY' SURROUNDS
CHECK FLASHER
Mystery surrounds the per
sonage of one who gave her
name as F. J. Austin when
she opened an account with
the First-Citizens Bank and
Trust company here about the
fifteenth of this month. Ac
cording to a representative
of this banking institution, an
elderly woman of ordinary
appearance appeared at the
teller’s window recently and
left a deport of $60 in cash,
and secured a check book. She
gave her address as this city.
Soon afterward checks be
gan to come in, and it was j
not long before the checking
account was exhausted. Still
checks kept coming in, mostly
from nearby towns including
Raleigh, Goldsboro and Wil
rnn until the amount of the
overdrafts ran into the hun- 1
Efforts to get in communi
cation with the woman have
proved futile. ATI mail direct
ed to her in Smithfield has (
been returned and her where i
abouts at this time is un- '
known. So far as the Herald
has been able to learn no
Smithfield merchants have '
lost any money on account of
her checks. The checks which
have come to the bank here
and which have been turned
down were made out, in most
instances to cash, though some
of them indicated that ladies’
shops in nearby towns had
been patronized.

PLEASES
Government tobacco grading at
Smithfield is receiving all round
commendations. It is necessary in
order to secure to all growers
equal prices for the same quality
of tobacco. It ought to be intro

Who Invented School?
Th£ children are back in school, j
After a most gorgeous vacation, j
they are at their desks and won- !
dering who started it all, any-!
way.
Charlemagne, the great Emper
or can take a lot of the blame
for starting school. Some people
say he invented schools. Anyway,
he desired the education of ev
eryone, and inaugurated a great
school system throughout h'« ,
empire in 745.
Coming closer to home, the
Rev. John Cotton started the first !
school in the United States at,
Boston in 1G35.
With the Rev. John Eliot, Rev. j
Cotton started a campaign for
more schools in the colonies. In
1642, the general court of Massa
chusetts completed their work by
making a law sentencing all chil
dren to go to school whether
they wanted to or not
This speeded the development
of the great present public school
system. But children had one
| staunch friend in Governor Berke
ley of Virginia, who fought the
! idea of school so effectively that
Virginia had no free schools until
after the Civil War. He believed
that education bred disobedience
| and heresy. Today most of us
i have learned to think different
|iy.
