Tells of Beauties of North Carolina I>r. N. II. I?. Wilxiii Fin<l? Flue Crop* a:?d (io?.?l People All Along the Way Dr N H f>. Wilson, pastor of the First M? thodlst Church, who is now on lil? vacation, writes The Advance the following happy account of Ills trip through various sections of the State: "Since leaving Elizabeth City 1 have made quite a circuit throueh Kast* ru North Carolina. Of course I slept from Klizaheth City to Wilson and have no observation* to record except that the Norfolk Southern is still rough. Hut 1 should not com plain as it delivered me safely and in time for my connection with the Atlantic Coast Line. At Wilson I met a friend ? n route to the tobacco fields of Southern North Carolina. He Is buyer and reports the prospect of much low grade tobacco and says prices now are very hitch. Seems to /think there will he a shortage of good tobacco. All the way to Fay cttevllle and on to Maxton the crop? look fine. From Maxton I rode through the surrounding cotton country l\v auto mobile. The weed looks email com pared with Pas-quotank. l'ut they tell me t!iat the prosp* ct is for a good crop. Tho boll weevil is mul tiplying rapidly. There will be no top crop at all. And the weevil may do Injury to the bolls already set. hut if he will content himself largely with the young bolls as is his custom there Is already etiouch formed to make a poodcrop. Hut here and there are sTuTTSof the red spider and of the wilt. "At Hamlet and in the journey by automobile from Hamlet to Greens- j bor, via Rocklnuham. Ellerbe. Can-1 dor, Ashboro and High Point* I saw the peach country. What once was j almost desert is now fast becoming 'the garden of the Lord---. I would give a pretty penny to see all of those 1 peach trees In bloom. Peachus, ber ries. canteloupes. watermelons! I'm! I I'm! All the boys will want to live I there. The crop this year was short hut every effort Is beini; made to make a great crop in 1924. I visit ed and rode with those who see a great future for this 'sand hill' coun try. The culture of tobacco for bet ter or for worse, is being introduced also. "At MaMon we aided our young friend, who is known nnd loved by so many Elizabeth City folks. Miss Sal lie Lou McKinion. iii her final prep arations for her trip to China. The heroism of a royal young woman who leav s home, friends and country for Christ nnd His work has to be shared by her family also. Those / ere In spiring hours even if saxi.- It will be of Interest to some of your readers! who are of the Woman's Missionary i Societies to know that her 'shower' ^ was so -eneral and abundant as al ""most to break her paying excess bag gage. "Chapel Hill is beautiful. Gor geous greenness, delightful quiet ev en though there are# several hundred . summer school folks here and the sound of the builders' hammer is heard day and night. Hut I am con-, sclenclously resting and the old 'Manuum Place,' set back In its grove! of great oaks is an ideal place to rest. Here we find natural beauty, delight ful quiet, loving friends and sacred memories." FOIl COLLEGE CiVltLS Mrs. R. E.
