Peterson, formef paymaster general of the North Caro. lina National Guard, who was acquit ted in Wake county court recently of the charge of embezzling $7,G00 of State funds has asked the State treas urer for the return of this amount which after his arrest and upon con tinuance of his case to a later term of court, he deposited with the State as the amount pf the alleged shortage. Major Peterson did not admit embez zlement and tendered the check for $7,600, as he stated in a letter to the State treasurer "to prevent the bond ing company from being forced to pay over this amount." State Treas urer Lacy replyling to Major Peter son, informed him that there is no provision in the law whereby the money can be refunded and that leg islative action will be necessary. Major Peterson's letter to the State treasurer follows: "I have been expecting to receive a check for $7,600 from you, being the amount which was deposited with the State treasurer in January, 1918, to cover an alleged shortage in my ac counts as State paymaster general, but have not received same up to this date. I sold my home and borrowed funds to enable me to place this amount with the State treasurer until the matter should be settled by the courts and to prevent the bonding company from being forced to pay over this amount upon demand of the attorney general, "I am in stringent circumstances, having been put to great expense in defending myself against the charges preferred against me and you will do me a great kindness to forward check at once for the amount mentioned above. Need Coal for Drainage. D. N. Graves of New Holland, Hyde county, told the Fuel Administration that unless its coal supply remained steady 100,000 acres of land in eastern North Carolina would suffer from lack of drainage and the productive ca pacity of 100,000 acres of land In east ern North Carolina would be reduced. The chairman of the board of drain age commissioners estimates that the constant operation of this drainage project requires 5,000' tons of coal an nually. The present supply Is only 800 tons. Sov beans, corn, cotton, oats and sorghum are among the principal crons cultivated in acreage in Hyde county. The swamp territory embrac ed 100,000 acres, with 50,000 acres having been already reclaimed to pro ductive, uses. The records of the Department of Agriculture disclose thft fact that the largest grower of soy beans in the United States resides on this reclamation project. H. C. Mann frrows four hundred acres ana ships a larger volume of the product than any other farmer in tne country. Offered 100 Acres Free. rrv.

Monroe Governor Bickett spoke on War Savings and Liberty Bonds here. The court house was filled and a large ftumber of people were turned away long before the arrival of the hour. Music was furnished by a special choir and the Icemorlee band. In his speech, after analyzing the selective service law, the governor said: "But after all this law is simply an other illustration of the saying of Solo mon that 'there is nothing new under the sun.' I was born and brought up here in Union county, and I know Its people. I know you are a working people. Everybody works, including father. You are a frugal people. You believe in denying yourself something today for the protection of tomorrow You are a God-fearing people. You read your Bibles and you go to church. "Being Bible readers, you have doubtless already discovered that the first selective service law was given by God Himself to Moses in the wil-. derness of Sinai on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites left the land of Egypt. "Under this law Moses was directed to register for military service every male person in Israel twenty years old and upward, who was physically fit to go to war. Numbers 1:1, 3. The heads of the eleven tribes were designated to assist Moses, the commander-in-chief, in the administration of this selective service law. Numbers 1:14, 16. This is identical with the plan of the present law, which requires the governors of the several states to assist the president. The Levites (the ministers of the gospel) were excepted from the opera tion of the law, and no one from the tribe of Levi was called. Numbers 1-47. The quota of each tribe (state) was determined by the number of males in the tribe over twenty years of age and physically fit for war. Numbers 1-18, 45. The total registration under this se lective service law In Israel amount ed ot 603,550 soldiers. Numbers 1-46. Every tribe was called to serve un der its own standards. Numbers chap ter 2. Those who stayed at home were re quired to pay money (buy Liberty Bonds). Numbers 111-45, 49. Thus were the armies of Israel rais ed to make good their escape from the house of bondage (autocracy) and to secure them a dwelling place In the land of promise (a world safe for democracy). Winston-Salem Takes Lead. Winston-Salem.The city of Winston Salem has in Mrs. A. F. Young, a Food Administrator who is going the whole distance in practicing what she preaches. Mrs. Young, who with her husband runs the Frances Hotel, an nounced today that from this date un til the next harvest no wheat prod ucts would be served in her hotel. Mrs. Youtg declares that no hotel, boarding house or home need suffer because of the entire absence from their bills of fare of wheat products and the patrons of the Frances are not in the least perturbed over the matter. The Zinzendorf . Hotel, which is managed by Mr. A. H. Galoway, of the hotel committee co-operating with the Food Administration for North Carolina, is banishing wheat products from the Zinzendorf bill of fare also. The Winston-Salem hotels are thu3 setting a model example for other ho tels of North Carolina and it is expect-, ed that a large number of boarding houses and private homes of the city will quickly fall in line and joint the Total Abstainers club. Button From N. C. Gold. Washington. President Wilson is to wear a collar button carved from a nugget of gold extracted from a gold mine in North Carolina for the dura tion of the world war.

(Copyright, 1918, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR APRIL 28 JESUS REBUKES SELFISHNESS. LESSON TEXT Mark 9:30-50. GOLDEN TEXT Ji any man desire tc be first, the eame shall be last of all, and servant of all. Mark 9:35. DEVOTIONAL, HEADING I Corin thians 13. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL FOR TEACHERS Matthew 5:41-42; 20:20-2S; Luke 22:24-30. PRIMARY AND JUNIOR LESSON MATERIAL Mark 9:30-37. PRIMARY MEMORY VERSE Be kind one to another. Ephestans 4:22. JUNIOR MEMORY VERSE I John 4? 2L I. The Stupidity of Selfishness, (vv. 30-S2). Jesus with his disciples is on his way to Capernaum for the last time. He is soou to leave for Jerusa lem, where he is to die on the cruel cross for the world's sins. He still seeks the way of retirement in order to be alone with his disciples, his ob ject being to lead them into the appre hension of the meaning of the cross. The teaching which was interrupted at Caeserea by Peter's rebuke is now re sumed, and with tlefiniteness he de clares the future event as already present. 1. "The Son of Man is delivered into the hands of men." 2. "They shall kill him." 3. "He shall rise the third day." While' pressing upon them continu ously the fact and necessity of the cross, he never failed to show them the bright side--hls triumphant vic tory over death ii. the resurrection. The hearts of the disciples were so steeped in selfishness that they failed to understand his teachings. If the disciples had more definitely attended to his teaching concerning the cross, they would have been better prepared for the hour of temptation which was so soon to overtake them. II. The Wrangling of Selfishness, (vv. 33-37). 1. The searching question (v. 33). The omniscient Christ knew the se crets of their hearts. The fact that the disciples were wrangling about of ficial position while the Lord was fac ing humiliation and death for them and the whole world, shows how com pletely the Lord was alone in his sor row. 2. The silent disciples (v. 34). They were ashamed in his presence, because the selfishness of their hearts was revealed. To realize the presence of the Lord would shame us of much of our selfishness. 3. The stinging rebuke (vv. 35-37). "If any man desire to be first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of all." The greatest among men are those who are willing to take the low est place and serve others. This truth he enforced In a concrete way by plac ing a child in their midst. This child was an illustration of dependence and ignorance. By example and word he shows that true greatness is expressed by willingness to aid the weak, to in struct the ignorant and to serve those ia need. All such render service not merely to those in need, but unto Christ and God. True greatness, there fore, consists not in selfseeking, but rendering cheerful service to the needy in the name of Christ. III. The Intolerance of Selfishness (vv. 38-41). 1. John's guilty conscience (v. 33). In the light of the teaching of Jesus, John was a little disturbed over having "forbid" a worker for Christ who did not follow after him. Doubtless this intolerance was in part due to jealousy for Christ, but also a selfish ambition. Many times Christians mistake bigotry for zeal for Christ. 2. Whom to tolerate (vv. 39-41). (1) Those who are casting out devils (v. 39). We should really satisfy our selves that supernatural works are be ing done. Are demons being cast out? However, this is not final, as there is a supernatural work not of God. fJ) Those who are not doing this vok In Christ's name (v. 41). Any worker going forth in the name of Christ, and for the glory of Christ, should be given Godspeed. If he is doing a good work, even though not In your way, or if not a member of your church or school, "Forbid him not." IV. The Awful Issue of Selfishness. (vv. 42-50). Selfishness results in ruin to others (v. 42), and also to the individual (vv. 43, 45 nnd 47). In either case the is sue Is eternal torment in hell. Selfish ness Is opposed to God, and that which is opposed to God must be eternally separated from him. Self-renunciation should be so complete that we should be willing to abandon the most necessary and lawful things in life hands, feet and eyes when they be come occasions for stumbling either to ourselves or to others. Need of Influence. "Every one of us needs influence and some impulse outside of ourselves to compel us to strive for our ideals. The best impulse that can uplift the 'ife is the friendship of Jesus. lie s:ys: 'Ye are as friends if ye do what soever I command you.' " God's Presence.
