FARM LOAN BANK TO
BRING RELIEFTO THE
SOUTHERN FARMERS
Deal Editor:—
After receiving ol
letters from the me
for information
ol' the Farm the hope
of its getting ser
to Mr. Odell
and Mr. Leavei a heart to
heart talk with them and asked them
and especially Mr. Leaver what to
o-Vrite back home. They gave me this
for an answer:
"The Mank was completely tied u|
from March, 1920 to March 1021, and
became very much alarmed for it
existence. As soon as the" Supreme
v Court decision was handed down, we
Went actively to work, and the iiest
that was possible to do was to float
a loan of 24,000,000 dollars in ordei
to get funds to lend to farmers. It
required the purchase of certificates
of deposit as guarantee for this loan.
No loan can lie made by any persoi
corporation without something be
hind it as aguarantee. The 16th da,
of April was the earliest day this bonil
issue could lie put on the market'.
These bonds are 5 per cent bonds, HOI,
taxable. After the first few days,
. the> sold with surprising rapidity,
until we had sold about seventeen mil
lions of dollars. This was about the
first day of May. About this time
the Great Northern railrway floated a
$260,000,000 bund issue at X per cent.
This extra three per cent interest
drove Dili bonds 'Off the market tor—
few days. This seriously cut down
our sales. This morning we are clos
ing for another million, and in Ti lew
days we have every reason u
' lievethe issue will'lie entirely solo
We will, they start where we left t
to year ago, anil take up Che appbru
tions for loans in the order of tune >
which they were made as afr a.s prac
ticable, but it will take some time to
reorganize the work, a.s wo have lost
a great deal of the old' force an.
new conditions are naturally inlii
dured in nearly every bank in tl
country. We think it is safe to prom,
ise your people that they will feel
relief by the first of July."

ASSAILS PROFESSOR
HAUPTS THEORY
Mr. Paul Huupt, a German infidel,
professor of the Semitic languages in
John Hopkins University, in an ad
dress at Goucher College, Baltimore,
at t(je one hundred and thirty-third
session of the American Oriental So
ciety, announced his pretendetl dis
covery that the rainbow after the de
luge, described in Genesis 9:13, was
not a rainbow after all, but a collec
tion of great fly brushes of the an
cient oriental gods, usetKliy"lstar, the
daughter of Anu (King of the Gods),
who was so incensed when she saw the
gods gather around the offerer like u
swarm of flies (because there had been
no offerings during the flood), that
she look the great fly brushes of her
father to drive away the gods. Pro
fessor llaupt thinks that the mistake
in Genesis was probably due to a mis
understanding of a character on one
of the old Cuneiform tablets, where
the word which is "bow" could very
easily be mistaken for "fly brush" as
huge feather fly brushes were in vo
gue among the old rulers in Assyria
and Egypt and" were regarder as'nin
cient symbols of sovereignity.
Prof. Haupt is the compiler of the
Polychrome or Rainbow or many col
ored itible, which mainly claims to
do with manuscripts written in for
eign languages thousands of i years
ago what has been repeatedly demon
strated it is impossible to doi with
English manuscripts written in our
own time, that is, to distinguish the
authorship by the style of different
portions of one narrative written by
diflerent persons. In this monstrous
bible he puts in different colors pas
sages supposed by tjhe self-styled
"Higher Critics," to have been writ
ten by different persons in different
ages, thus denying the authorship ol
the books of the Mihle by the person,
whose names they bear, anil assign
ing that authorship to later, unknokn,
unheard of, and uninspired men, and
representing the llible as full of all
kinds of mistakes, anil rejecting it as
an infallible revelation of God.
"Higher Criticism" is the investiga
tion, not so much, of the text of u
document (called lower or textual
criticism) as of its origin and char
acter, its integrity, authenticity, and
credibility. It was founded by Jean
Hstruc,' a profligate physician of
i' ranee (IGB4-17(>C) anil by J. S.
l.iil i.in (1752-1827), a German pro
fessor, who gave it its name. The
foundation of "Higher Criticism" is
the false doctrine of Evolution, which
in its extreme form, denies the exist
ence of God, the CreqJ.or, director,' and
Controller of the universe, and as
sumes to truce aTf things, inutreY', llfr
and mind to an eternal fire mist, an
elemental gas, that has itself devel
oped into suns and planets and satel
lites, and livers anil scan and moun
tains and plains and plants and ani
nials and men. Of course, such a
system, while denying the existence
of the great, true, eternal and living
God, readily admits the existence of
contemptible, little, so-called gods,
who are hungry, and dependent upon
men, and are so weak that they can
lie brushed away by fiUncTies of feath
ers. -/
In Genesis 9:13, the Hebrew .word
"Gesheth" is rendered "bow in the
Hebrew-English lexicons; and in the
oldest Greek translation, (the Sep-:
tuagint, made in the third century,
Christ) it is rendered "taxon," which
is defined to mean in the Greek
English lexicons; anil this word is
translated "bow" in the King James
and the Vevised versions of the Bible,
and in the English-Jewish version of
the Isaac Leeser of 1853, ami in the
latest versions of the Jewish Publica
tion Society of America, made by the
seven leading Jewish scholars of A-.
merica and published in 1917. And
Prof. Haupt admits that the word in
the old cuneiform and Babylonian and
Assyrian flood tablets is "bow," but
he imagines that there was n misun
derstanding of a mark of these old
tablets, and that not a how hut ft fl>
brush was intended. It is supposed
j that Abraham brought these old hea
then deluge tablets from Chaldea to
Canaan, and that they were hande
down to Moses, and that Moses copied
them in describing the flood in Gen
esis; but Moses by divine inspiration
gives a true and simple account of
the one God, who made the heavens
and the earth and all things therein,
and who destroyed by a flood of w
ter the wicked races of men, excej
righteous Noah and his family, and
set a rainbow in the cloud as a sigr
that would never again destroy t*
race by a flood of waters; and nearl;
South and West will feel the effect;
of the activity of this best of all
friends.
I shall be glad to answer any spe
cific inquiry, und was told by Mi
Leaver not *to trouble myself with
lutters written to me about it any fur
ther than to refer them to him.

Mr. L. O. Fonville, Supt. Glenoca
Farms at Town Point is getting ready
to plant sixty acres of permanent pas
tures. He has a very fine herd ol
Hereford cattle and is going into his
cattle business since we have a state
wide tsock law. He has been one of
the strong supporters of stock law and
tick eradication ever since the work
was started in this county. He is, also
breeding race horses, and has some
record horses in his herd. He evperts
to grow everything needed on his farm
and grow only pure bred stock horses,
cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and farm
crops.
One of the permanent pastures thu
wo planted two years ago has heel
the means of getting sixty two pas
tures planted this spring. The far
mers are becoming interested m gom
pastures and are planting more thi
year than ever have been planted be
fore in this county.
Farmers and business men here
have stopped talking "hard times" am:
have gone to work with a strong dr
termination to make this year one i
the best in several as they are goini
to grow their own food and feed.

They seem unwilling to trust any
body. It must be that they have been
deceived so often that they are un
willing to ti-ust each other. In fact
they have never tried the first ex
periment of trusting each other. Thej
seem to prefer the cooing voice o
the speculator who says "beware o'
your fellow farmer; trust me."-
The time for completing the organ

LARGE DELEGATIONS
/ TO , ROAD MEETING
" Road Commissioner VV. A. Hurt of
Tarboro, with Mr. Gardner, his dis
truict engineer, and Mr. J. W. Mar
tin, Maintenance Superintendent «»f
that part of the first district on the
south side of the Roanoke River, drove
overNfrom Tarhoro Tuesday morning
to mee ta great host of Hertie citi
zens and large. delegations from all
pails of Murtin county and a ogod
number from Halifax' and Washing
ton counties. .
Hon. Harry VV. Stubbs introduced
ludge Francis 11/ Winston, who made
one of his happy speeches, paying
tiihute to the late Senator liankhean
and Co. lienehan Caitiff on,' who have
done so much .to get before the coun
try the contemplated Harikhead high-
Wav and making a timely pleij for co
operation of all forces towards con
tralinzing on some concrete plans for
finishing that project. At the conclu:
sion of his speech he introduced the
following resolution:
Resolved: That we greatly regret
the absence of Hon. Henehun Cam
eron, President of the liankhettd high
way. We miss his wise counsel and
sympathetic cooperation amf we ex
tend to him our sincere regards and
host wishes lor a long life of useful
ness to his fellow men and happine
to his family.
Resolved: That we congratulate
lion. W. A, llart, Highway Commis
sioner from this district, for his enei
gy.and wisdom in securing for hi
district the largest appropriation of
funds made to any district hy the
State 11 igli way Commission and that
we pledge hint our loyal and energetic
support in his variable labors when
ever and wherever put forth to give
to the counties in his district the road
contemplated hy the Good Road Act
passed at the last session of the Legis
lature.
Whereas: I'pon the completion of
the Highway bridge at Williamston
and its approaches through the swamp
in Hertie county to Jhe highland, the
State Highway Commission will have
on hand in Martin and Bertie count ie.-
a complete force of laborers and ma
chinery und an organization sufficient
for -extending- the highway throng!
Hertie county and .on the Virginia
line, anil it would lie unwise and ex
pensive to abandon even temporarily
the said project ami extension anil
carry said outfit and organization te
some other part of the district and
possibly out of it.
Be it therefore resolved: That we
request lion. W. A. Hurt, Highway
Commission for tho first di.striet ti
endorse .the continuance of such"ex
Unw-iun .with the outfit ami organiza
tion now on hand ami to lie added to
Us occasion may require,. anil We re
quest him to luy these resolutions lie
/ore the State Highway Commission
(t its, next meeting iintl urge the a
option of the plan of completing tile
ontemplateil highway from Willium
ston through Bertie county to the Vi
(finiu line.
Judgp Winston then introduced the
flon. W. A. Hart, of Tarboro, road
commissioner for the first district.
Mr. Mart's first statement drew the
attention of the entire assembly. lie
called attention to the fact that he
•mole the best bargain of his life hen
in Williiimston, not in houses and
lands, not in trades and traffics, but
in winning the fair helping Viand of
his wife when she accepted his pro
posal upon the porch of the old hot'
that once stood on Main street.
He express! his regret tha the h»
been chosen for this job. He stated
that he had never held a political Job
and if anyone called this a politico 1
fob he weuld resign. Ife stated tliat
hl« only desire was to build up a s-ys
torn of I'ood roads throughout tin
length 'ind breadth of every county
that h«> longed to see the day wher
the feriner who lives far from
town may take his* child into town
in tb" morning, bring him hack V
at light and give to that child tiie
fuM benefit of the best schools that
(1 e country could afford. Mr. Har*
told, the people that they should no*,
fret impatient if roads did not cm
the next moment, that it would re
quire time to build them,, that
would not spend the money supplied
for road building by the state until
he could pet value receive?! for it
•hat he refused to spend S3O,(MX 1
or $35 ,000.00 to build roads \vhen the
should cost less, He declared that
every section was to be treated im
partially, th«t when he threw a shovel
of dirt in Edgecombe county, he was
going to throw a shovel of dirt in
Martin County, Bertie county and
every other cpunty.
He said that the Impression which
had hcen^scattered around that ne
favored a road from Williamson '
Washington was correct, but that our
road would be from Williamaton via
Everetts, Roberaonville, Bethel to Tar
boro. He further said that sur
face roads would no tbe built at first
but they would come later aa, it was
CHANCELLORBRADFORD
SPEAKS TO BIG CROWD
A Crowded Chautauqua tent on
Tuesday evening enjoyed to the utter
most the lecture of Chancellor Brad
ford on "This Way l*p." A strong
and forceful speaker, acquainted with
the difficulties along the road to suc
cess, his message was a powerful ap
peal to the young manhood and womai
hood of America to italicise in their
lives the things that count. A self
wlde, man, possessing the knowledge
mf experience, his lecture touched the
keynote of the challenge to America.
With words that seared, with thought
that inspired and with a style that
surpassed our expectation he left an
imprint upon the thought of young
America that naught can erase.
We hesitate to give a synopsis of
the lecture of Chancellor Bradford
We feel our incopocity when we try
to summarize his message so resplen
dent with thought and so forceful, so
masterful.
Chancellor Bradford called attention
to the fact that the world is restim
upon tin" shoulders of America. Ami
that the, world is asking where is A
merica going to carry the world. He
said that there were nuinj' who would
carr ythe world to the mint and coin
every atom of it into money. That
thMv were those who vftmld call him
the most successful man, who by fair
means- or foul, got the greatest share
t.f that wealth. Hut he said that the
redeeming feature was that there were
some who wpre willing to take the
world upon* their shoulders and d
service for that world, lie thanked
Ttoit that ttvrre wore stilt whn
were still willing to help heal tFie nap
wounds of Europe, pour barm into
the sore sof hatred and distress and
lead the world to the light'of a. bright
er dawn.
He made and proved the statement
that the cost of an education was
the desire for it. He, from his own
life, drew to illustrate that any boy
who desired to get an education could
get it. lie told how he left home,
his poor father and mother, to entei
college, with only sß.Ufi, nil the moiuv
that bis parents had. He shower) now
he shoveled snow off the sidewalks ol
the large college town, acted as fire
man for the college and acted a-
coachman for a rich man during th
suiiimer vacation in order to defray
Ills college expenses. And yet, dp
spite all these difficulties he managed
to graduate and ift the head of liis
cIIHS.
lie showed how the crowd who will
lat.t; i at a man'i 11 tched eh ci • »•»»•♦
failed to see there whatever >f tar
n t« i and worth he muy luiv l a.' be
neath those clothes has lost tHe true
iif M man's worth Wilii_jdi
tli> emphasis of his nature he cried
out for the duy when young women of
America would marry men, not oe
cause of the clothes they wear, but
because of thei rstrength of character.
He decried Loafer's
Itench," the village legislature, when
the signs of tobacco juice, the odoi
of cigarette smoke and the evil in
fluences of the smutty joke are most
in evidence. He declared that far too
many of the boys and girls of Amer
ica, the future citizenry who would
be called upon to shoulder the world,
were receiving their training from in
tluences such a sthese. lie appealed
to the men and women of America to
stop for a moment +n their mad orgy
of money-making and give to their
chilito-n the sound und (Jodlike instrui
t.ion and advice that they are crying
for.
HP said that the world was watch
in« your evei% action anil was judging
you whenyou least wcpect it. He ail
vised every lioy and girl to he on their
guard lest they I'uin their of
"success" by one unguardes act. He
ended with an appeal to everyone to
make themselves one hundred per cent
etlicient. He said that the old world
gave to America the knitting needle,
and America gave back to the old
world the sewing machine; that the
old world gave to America the pencil
and that America gave hack to the
old world the typewriter and that the
old world had given to America tin
science of warfare and that it was up
to the America of today to give hack
to the old world, world peace unions
the nations. - That the world was
looking to America for leadership and
guidance and'that it behooves each
person to endeavor to make himself
and herself one hundred per cent ef
ficient in make the worh
rexlize in Amcrfca the champion o('
Democratic/ ideal*.

PLANS FOR PERMANENT
CHAUTAUQUA ASSOCIA
TION NOW CONSIDERED
f. Mr. W .R. Orleans, President of
the Board of Guarantors of the Chau
tauqua, hat a plan which we believe
will make the Chautauquu u perma
nent thing in Williamston. His plan
is simply this: He wishes to a
permanent Chautauqua organization
with 150-members. Each member
shall pay a membership feg of $7.50,
due when the Chautauqua comes here
in May of each ytar. In return each
member shall be given his $7.50 back
in season tickets, the nunibei
he is to get depending upon whether
he deque's udult or children tickets.
