As we ring out the old, reflection makes us con scious that “the old” lias not been perfect. But the rec ord has been written and all we can do about it is to offer a prayer to the Giver of time for forgiveness. The year before is a blank page whereon each of us may write anew. The words of the poet suggests the spirit that should attend the beginning of this chapter in our lives: N. k “I will start this year with a higher, fairer creed; I will cease to sit repining o’er my ruthless neighbor’s greed; I will cease to sit repining while my duty's cull is clear; I will waste no moment whining, and my heart shall know no fear. ' • / STATE COLLEGE AIDS IN / FOOD PRODUCTION PROBLEM— Governor Gardner’s live-at-home program should be taken seriously throughout the state. A commonwealth, with all of the varieties of climate that North Carolina has, and with the variety of vegetation, probably un rivaled by any region anywhere of equal area, should begin to make inquiry as to why so much imported food is consumed within its borders. A very material aid in remedying this situation will be the data concerning the food production problem in North Carolina which State College proposes to dissem inate during the next four months. C. A. Sheffield, as sistant director of State Extension at that institution, has been making a study of production and consumption and he finds that the farmers of North Carolina on the average are nearly feeding themselves. It is the city folks who are importing food. Mr. Sheffield’s figures show further that North Carolina’s bill for imported food is nearer one hundred and a half million dollars than it is two hundred and a half million. With actual facts in hand on which to base a live-at home program, it will be much easier to plan a balanced agriculture. It is the purpose of the Extension service at State College to show the condition in each county so that Boards of Agriculture, the county agents, and the county officials may take steps to improve conditions in the respective counties. The perliminary report on cotton ginned in North Carolina, made public Dec. 20, shows a decrease of 142,004 bales for 1929. Last year 058,008 bales were ginned as compared with 800,102 in 1028. Cleveland County holds first place again among the cotton pro ducing counties, with 52,670 bales. This is an increase of 4,167 bales over last year. Ilobeson county also shows an increase this year with 40,174 bales compared with 38,050 bales in 1928. Johnston County shows a de crease, having ginned in 1929 only 36,236 bales while in 1928, the number of bales produced was 39,398. Harnett county also shows a decrease of 2.781 bales, this year’s crop totaling 29,681 bales compared with 32,462 bales last year. Community Christmas Tree. Selma, Dec. 30.—Selma’s sec ond 'eoiAimun.ity Christmas tree given .by the Selma W-oman's club was erected downtown in the busi ness district at the intersection ol Anderson and Raeford streets. Tuesday evening. Members of the Woman’s club and several of the public-spirited men of the town assisted in decorating and light ing the tree. A short program of songs, Christmas carols and talks was given. Talks by Rev. W. J. Crain and Mayor Hare were en joyed but the entire program was made short on account of the bit ing cold and wind Tuesday eve ning. The Woman’s club is very proud of the number of living Christmas trees which were dec ollated in Selma. The Khvanis club, the Woman's club, the mis sionary societies from the diffe - ent churches, and many individ uals sept ibgakets, 4rract*!ie£, coal and many other substantial gifts to the unfortunates not only in town 'but in the rural sections sut rounding Selma. Many families were cheered by the thoughtful ness of these good people and or ganizations.

MORGAN Interesting facts come to light from a study of the data sent up from the 45 churches of tho Johnston Association to the re cent meeting of that body. Ike J study reveals a discouraging dr.ft downward on the financial aide— which seems true also in the figures of other denomination The report sh.ows 282 baptism? in 1929 as against 215 in 1928. Twelve of the churches reported no baptism, though all but four of the 48 churches reporting heia j revival meetings. Th.e member ship of tire churches was 0,102 as against 0,022 in 1928. Rut the membership reported in 1927 was 6,215. This loss is due to a large paring down of church rolls by erasure. This year 71 were gained by letter and .‘17 bv statement- and restoration, while 125 were lost by letter and 05 by exclusion and erasure, and 02 by death. Sunday school enrollment fell off th;? year 84, but average attendance increa-sed by 102 over last yea**. It appears likely that both church J and Sunday school rolls are being; kept more accurately—pared down ' to actual membership. ■ Only three churches have [preaching every Sunday: Clayton, Selma and Smithfield. Only five joiners nave p reaching two Sun days a month: Henson, Four Oak?, .Middlesex, Pisgah and PWunt Grove (afternoons). Only thirteen i churches reported a weekly pra/tr meeting. All but three of the 43 jchurches reporting observe I the , Lord s Supper from one to four times—most of them four times Of the 43 Sunday schools sending reports 21 were graded, and only one was a standard school—Pis gah. Only 1 GO Normal Couisei Diplomas were reported. No! church reported a mission Sun day school nor a daily vacation Bible school. Only 12 churches reported a B. V. P. U. Total enrollment in B. Y. P. U.’s was 470. Only 15 churches have Wo man’s Missionary societies," tile total enrollment in these be:i:g 306. Only 10 churches h-av'j any of the Junior W. M. U. oiguni zations. Only Benson, Clayton and Selma have brick houses of wor ship, all others being wood. Only 10 report more than five separate rooms for the Sunday school. Only 290 Biblical Recorders art reported as going into the li *me of more than six thousand church members. Fight churches rv’ori pastors’ homes: Benson, Clayton. Kenily, Middlesex, Mt. Moriah Pisgah, Selma and SmitnfieM. Very little insurance is carried, only eight churches reporting an} insurance: Benson, Clayton, Four Oaks, Middlesex, Mt. Moriah, Pine Level, Selma and Smith field — :ir. aggregate amount of $66,000 on an estimated property value, in cluding grounds, of $317,314 — a huge risk to carry. The churches report a genera1, falling off in contributions for lo cal expenses, and much greater .falling off in gifts to missions and -all benevolences. Ill the 1uu* ywr.s, 1020, 1027, 1028, 1020 Lu lal O'out.ri.biitioJLs respectively viw I $52,050.17, $r>o,055.41, $45,857.to, and $43,150.01; for all iKMievoieiit objects $0,207.58. $0, 140.22, $10. 522.85 un<i $8,802.83. The incr«a?o in benevolent gifts in 1028 was duo to the Centennial Campaign, •but the gain that year was lore I than lost this year, benevolent 'gifts, even with those to the Cen jlennial Fund, falling below those of 1020 and 1027. And the show ing is even worse when we con sider the large paring down of church rolls the last two years I the elimination of dead members I^till leaving smaller gifts per capita. Per capita gifts for the fouc , year period have been respectively $8.64, $8.10, $7.01, and $7.00 for all objects, and $1.52, $1.45, $1.74 and $1.44 for all benevolent ob jects the rise due to the Cen tennial Campaign being more than lost in 1020—the per capita amount further reduced if we consider the Daring down of ; i church rolls. Only seven of the churches re ported the adoption of any bud get for local expenses and three a budget for missions and benev olences. In response to a gemrai appeal to adopt a budget for the Cooperative Program 14 report* j the adotion of such a budget, but. with the exception of several f these, the amount adopted was very small, the aggregate amount being only $2,500. The Id churches |reported only 127 tithers—a rough estimate in the main. The churches have very little debt, the only ones, carrying a debt above $50.00 being Bailey, B&3&QR* Cfaepel* Parr^h ( j Memorial, Selma, Thanksgiving | the total debt for the associatior being hut $5,41)4. j The dwindling of benevolence ir | the face of burdensome debts or j all benevolent objects is discon certing—for all denominations for all seem to be suffering alike ' WHY NOT A PLACE FOR THE CHILDREN TO SKATE? During the past few days crowds of skating school children have practically taken the streets. They go in groups of ten or fifteen and it is almost im possible to drive a car through Smithfield when they are out without an accident. At street crossings they dart in from all di rections, paying little heed to passing automobiles. The writer almost ran into two skaters Fri day morning in spite of all he could do. The children need t • v1 outdoor exercise, but they should not be >n the crowded streets, Will not the town commissioners pass an ordinance designating a paved street along some block where there is little traffic as a skating rink for the children, and forbiu their skating along the main, streets of the town? Operators of motor vehicles are not always to j blame for accidents to children j m the streets. ONE WHO HAS TO DRIVE. AUK WE BOUND TO I'AY OKU TAXES? I Are we 'bound to pay our taxes i under the present law? It' so, why not one man as well as the other? I have paid my taxes for 54 years and am ready to try to pay my 1929 t axes when the shot iff of j Johnston county collects the taxcv for 11125, 192G, 1927 and 11)28. Otherwise, Mr. Sheriff, don't say »ny thing more to those who have been true to pay their taxes. REV. D. C. JOHNSON. BLALOCK-ATKIN SON MARK I ARE.

THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT I»y Siam Clodhopper (Too late for Christmas issue) A few more days and Christ .mas day will he upon us, and I'm I wonderin’ of the height of us ah j giftin' hitched up in the pr >pe: I sperit for hit. Some unbeknownst j friend a fow days ago sent I and i Mandy one of these calendar pic ! ters what you hang up over the j fahboard to keep up with he j lays, weeks and months which I give I and Mandy a kinder whet up on our Christmas sperits. We’ve been unusually busy •’* r ; : be last few weeks. Pears lack ! everybody around in these parts I vri«s with each other in tryin’ to I git their hogs killed fust, and ! hey pick the coldest zero weath er fer the ercashuns, which ain’t rally the best time accordin’ to L and Mandy’s judgment. Jest a leetle skint of ice is the best kind of weather ef the moon hap pens to be right. Ef you have a big family and need more short ening than you do meat hit’s bos* to kill on the shrink of the moon. I Then yer fat all dries up with few rack Jin’s and yer meat Shrinks up too. givin’ yer collards and sich you biles with, yer meat a mity fine lastin’ send off, and hit suits me mity well these dny* with eatin’ so much hog killin’ fres hies. Hit pears that the neighbors has got hit in they heads tha; they kain’t have a rale 'og-kill ing thout I and Mandy air therv and sometimes three or four of j us neighbors all tries to kill in! one day. But since we kain’t help all, some puts theirn off so’s 1o have 1 and Mandy on hand I don’t spose there is an old feller through these parts that’s as fa miliar with all the wherefore' ind wliys of hog-killing arts as I am. I engenerally am called on o do all the knockin’, stick'n scaldin' and a big chunk of he pickin’. Pears that my famousness er sich are has got so notlbk that the men that air havin’ the iiog-killin’ leaves all the leadin’ parts of the hog-killin’ up to Ui. cle Siam, as many of my neigh bors lovingly calls me. And Ma-’ ly is jest as well versed in tire women folks’ part of the hog killin' as 1 am the men’s. Bun; Weaver nor Jimmy Sikes ner Granny Cralbtree won’t eat a chitlin’ that. Mandy don’t have a | luiml ill cleanin’, and the height | of ‘cm say she kain’t be beat at drying up lard that renders the j fewest cracklin’s. And seasoni'i of sausage meat to suit ever’boiy is a art Mamly’s got the world stmul on a most. These arts of ourn ‘besides brio a dignitary honor to us in us old ago, means a whole lot to us :n other ways, especially this yea •. I and Mandy hain’t but three litt: ? runt shoals that happened along on the wrong of the moon, I spose. We hain‘t never been able to git much of a curl in they tails with nothin’ we wus able to f.a1 'em on, not even potlicker ner buttermilk, and Mandy’s stuffed ‘era daily with sicli. They stom achs is all that shows much fat. So our culinary art hog-killin’ has shore been a blessin’ to us in more ways than one. F.f ye’d peep in us smokehouse you’d think we d already killed hogs. You‘d see a half dozen or more haslits a hangin’ in there, and enough sau sage and bones, eracklin’s '*nd sich to last us old folks to the middle of Feb. And we air ex pectin’ to be invited to a few more late kilim's that will great ly help us meat problem along i mightily. Since we’ve been so for tunate in our popularity among1 our neighbors, a helpful spent is the whole cheese of the thing. Ami, too, Mamly’s wedged in two or three weddin’ fixin’s be twixt times. Mundy’s weddin’ cake bakery is gittin’ to be spread out and l‘m left at home oti them days with the bag to hold. Some times i git a leetle bite of the 'bride’s cake the next day utter. Mandy's off tonight a-windin’ up weddin* fixin’ for Caledonie Fair weather. She's a new comer and's jest hearn about Mandy's weddin’ cake art. Tm jest thinkin’ and hopin' tliat Mandy won’t git an I cibor. vuiU off boteyiit bow. fend Christmas. Ef she* don’t git b i a-bakin’ of her own Christina cakes we’ll bo in a shore nuf pinch. All the childrens writ the; wrus coming and that an us a thu i derin’ report, er will lx*, w'hen j leetle less than twenty little rjis cals git to hustlin’ around a-nosin around in gran’pap’s business. l>u Ibless ‘era, I love 'em ever’ on; and hope I and Mandy can keei us health so’s to be able to fee; ‘em when they come on sich er j cash.uns. I’ve got stacks of woe I already prepared on the woodpik | and am bilin’ a pot of sweet tat i ers on the farplace tonight ..ci 1 Mandy to cook up a passel cl later custards tomorrow. As I’m isettin’ here by the fai a-fwritin’ this message the €h’isf ;imas sperit from the picter calen ' dar of the Wise Men from the East over the farboard is layin' a-holt on me. Oh, ef we all did rally have half the faith that the Wise Men of the East had when they followed the star across the miles and miles of sandy tour try in search of the Christ-ch-ld which by faith they expected to find by followin’ so diligently and fatefully the star, how much dif ference there’d be in our method of celebratin’ us Christmas. lust'd of yellin’ out, “Christinas don’t come but onct a year and ef I git drunk none needn’t keer,’ we’u gether our brood of big and leetle ones around us farside and git down the Good Book and read to 'em about this mysterious leetle baby that wus born of humble parentage and in a cow stable to boot. Hit looks lack hit would take some of this Christmas starch outen us when we got to thinkin: how these Wise Men from the East give this leetle baby gifts, | jest to show they real reverence j fer the new-born King baby, and j not expecting to git some presents) in return, more nicer ones back ■ than them they’d give the baby j Jesus, lack some of us gift-givin’ these days. Now hit’s a pure sight j how some of us go about thi-* j gift-givin’ spent anyhow. Ef we’ve l got anything to give this y *ar, j let’s hope we’ll remember a few i of them ones that hain’t nothing j to give back in return and may j God help us all in so doin’ co I have a more /Christ-like Clr-ist mas sperit. THE LTITLE GIRL AND HER DOG. By Jennie Scott Edmund.son and' Emily Lou Wellons. Chapter V. j When Jack sat down he had be-1 gun to think of Rosy, for he Had also begun to love her. He said to j himself: “it is my duly now to save! Rosy and Doris for Rosy saved! me, and Doris is my sister. IT.; have to wait a while first for 1 i reckon those cruel old men art | still looking for me.” After four days he thought alii was safe but just as he started! out to try to save the girls he heard a bark. It was Spot. Jack recognized him, for Rosy had often told him about Spot. She' used to mock Spot for Jack, and she could hark almost like Snot. Jack could see Spot in the dis tance and he knew it was Spot for Rosy had described him. He ran to Spot in a minute, tore the. box to pieces and let Spot wt Jack.first petted Spot and let him, knoiw that he was a friend of Hie, little dog. Then he said to Spot: “Spot, it’s getting dark now, so we had better not try to save the girls tonight, but we will try it tomorrow when the men go to town. We’ll sleep tonight and .x* ready tomorrow.” Spot barked a cry of joy for he was delighted to .save his little mistress. He held out his paw ,o shake hands with Jack. Jack and Spot lay down in the meadow to go to sleep, but just as Jack went to sleep Spot jump ed up and decided hje would belt Jack in rescuing Rosy and Doris, so while Jack was asleep Spot got up and ran down the road. He waited until the men went to to A n and then he crept from his hid ing place and went over tow lrds the hut. | When Jack woke up he looked ! around for Spot. When Ihc could not find him in sight he began looking for him and got on the wrong road. During this time Rosy and Dons j were having a big feast and after j it Doris felt all right to walk! around. They decided they would i try to find some more lo^se stones. All of a sudden Doris , cried: “Rosy, look, here’s a stone mat j looks like it is loose. It might not be anything much, but we | can try it anyhow.” ! “Let’s do,” replied Rosy, j They polled at it and it c?.ui5 out. They could see outdoors anu about that time they heard Spot bark. Rosy whistled und Spat heard her and came running to where the round came from. There he found R°?y and Doris. Rosy wrote on her handkerchief: “Help! Go down Franklin street, three blocks and turn to your right. Go down this road until you (' see a figure of Uncle Sam hold* .ling a mailbox on the right. Go up (this road until you get to a large j hut,. Follow Spot. He will show you the way to mother and father. From Rosy' Milton.” She tied it around Spot’s neck and pointed towards home. Spot J understood ar,d started toward (home. When he got there he could not get in so he went to Rosy’? I daddy’s office- He got there just in time t<> see her father. Mr. Milton saw the dog at the same time the dug saw him. “Here. Spot, where have you been and where is Rosy?” Then he saw the handkerchief. He read it and then he picked! Spot up and said, “Spot you are I worth .‘50.000 dollars. Let me go I call up her mother and tell her j about it; then we. will be on our | way.” Mr. Milton was very excited, so as soon as he read what Rosy had written he drove home as quickly jas he could. Rushing into .he house he cried to Mrs. Milton: “Ruth, Ruth, look! Read what’s j written on this handkerchief, it’s from Rosy!” i iMrs. Milton read it and said, ‘‘Let’s go rig’llt now!” Just before they reached the hut the kidnappers arrived. They saw Mr. and Mrs. Milton. They opened the trap door, grabbed Doris and Rosy, threw them inx their car and started out with them.
