OUR ADVERTISERS We are happy to present to our readers a large num ber of advei'tisements from some of the county’s out standing and most progres sive business men.

January, 1946 A People Delivered V falGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Jan. 13 is Exodus 6-18. the Memory Verse being Hebrews 13:6. “The Lord is my helper: I will not fear.”) MOSES' FIRST encounter with Pharaoh to get his permission to let the Hebrew people go ended in disaster. Pharaoh not only refused to liberate them, but he imposed more hardships upon them, so that they were worse off than ever. They complained bitterly to Moses, blaming him for their di lemma. Discouraged. Moses went to the Lord and told Him he had failed, for not only had Pharaoh not let the people go, but he had added to their hardships. Then God said. “Now shait thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; tor with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.” He revealed how He would bring plagues on the Egyptians until Pharaoh would promise to liberate the Hebrews, and then would harden Pharaoh s heart and he would refuse again. Moses would be as a god to Pharaoh, said the Lord, and Aaron would be his prophet. In this very long lesson, we can not possibly touch on all the plagues with which the Egyptians were smitten or how Pharaoh would give his consent to the exo dds and then change his mind. At the last Moses, under the Lord's guidance, told his people to be ready to leave. They were to kill lambs and hold a feast, taking some of the blood and smearing it on the lintels of their houses, for the last and most terrible plague of all was tlie death of the firstborn of each Egyptian. By the sign of blood on the doors the an gel of death would know that a Hebrew dwelt within and that house would be pa.ssedi.over. There Was a Great Cry When "there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where not one was dead, " Pharaoh gave way and told the Israelites to "take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone, afnd bless me also" So the Hebrews formed a great company and went from the land of Egypt into the wilderness, with the Lord guiding them. But even after this terrible calamity. Phar aoh repented letting them go. and he sent his soldiers, horses and chariots to overtake and bring them back. The Israelites reached th^ shores of the Red sea and were terror stricken when they saw the Egyptians in pursuit. But the Lord told Moses to lift up his rod. and as he did so the v/aters of the sea divided, making a wall of water on each side of them with a dry path in the middle of the sea, and the children of Israel passed through it safely. When the Egyp tians tried to follow them, the wa ters closed over them, drowning them all. Then Moses and all his people sang and gave praises to the Lord for their deliverance, and Moses’ sister, Miriam, the prophetess, took a timbrel in her hand and all the women did likewise, and fol lowed her, and they danced and sang, "Sing ye to the I-ord, for He hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath He thrown into the sea.” People Chide Moses Many hardships the children of Israel suffered as they wandered toward the land the Lord had promised them. The Lord had sent a pillar of cloud to lead them by day and a pillar of fire by night, but if they had no food or water, they grumbled and chided Moses for bringing them away from Egypt. Always, however, the Lord showed Moses a way to feed them. “I have heard the murmurings of the children’of Israel," the Lord said; “speak unto them, saying. At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God.” And so it came to pass. Quails came up at night and covered the camp and they slew and ate, and in the morning the ground was covered with manna, which, said Moses, “is the bread which the Lord hath given you to eat.” Then they were attacked by the Amalekites. These people were de scended from Esau, and closely re lated to the Hebrews. Moses held up his hand, and when he did so, Amalek lost, but when his hand fell from weariness, Amalek won; so Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on either side, so the Israeiites were victorious. Moses built an altar here and called the place Jehovahnissi, tor he said, "Because the Lord hath sworn that the Lord wiil have war with Amalek from generation to gener ation." Here Jethro, his father-in-law, came, having heard of his success, and they had a reunion. With Jethro was Moses' wife, Zipporah, and his two sons. Jethro counseled Moses on how best to settle dis putes among the people by ap pointing judges to hear their com plaints and relieve him of the bur den. So Moses took Jethro's ad vice and his father-in-law left and went back to his own land. Distributed by King Features Syndicate. Inc. SHOULD GET TOGETHER jn, ,. We are glad to see those among us who have seen the need of more adequate hos pital facilities for Negroes here in Rutherford county. It is a progressive step and we highly convftiend it. We wish however, to call attention to the fact that two factions are busy at work, we understand. One wishes to remodel the Negro unit at Rutherford hospital while the other group plans to build a separate unit at Spin- dale or some convenient poiirt in the county. much as we desire and need better medical care for our people here, we think the wisest thing to do now is for us to get together with the proper council and ad vice and decide the best thing to do. Then, all able and interested people can be aske(l to help in a movement that is worthy of their sup port and that presents a unit ed front also. OUR REGULAR COLUMNIST We are happy to state that Professor J. O. Gibbs, prin cipal of Grahamtown high school, Forest City, has been added to our staff as a regu lar columnist and will write a column each issue, begin ning with this one. AMONG THE SICK Mrs. Carrie Harris is a patient at the Rutherford hospital. M;iss Artie M. Bornes is in the Rutherford hospital. Ben Camp, well known farmer, of Doggett Grove community, was stricken on December 21 but is now able to be out again. Miss Rachel Camp has be^n sick but is .improving as we go to press.

S., North Carolina uses one-sixth of all fur- tilizer sold in this country. In fact, farmers of this province bought 1,511,822 tons of fertil izer in the calendar year 1945. Figuring that this fertilizer cost the farmer an average of $85 per ton (tobacco fei-tilizer would aver age around $36), North Carolina agriculturists spent $49,890,126, or right at $50,000,000, for fer tilizer in 1945. That’s a lot of money—even for you and me. WEST—In many states in the Pacific Northwest, less than 1,000 tons of fertilizer is used during each yeai-. And in many of the agriculture classes out there the instructors keep three or four sample bags of fertilizer just to show the students its composition and varied uses. You see, by the time those Northwestern states had been set tled we knew a great deal more about the soil than when we were going wild on cotton here in the South 100 years ago. Those farm ers profited by our m.i.stakes. It is only in recent years that Southern farmers as a whole have found it is to jjut jyst a little something back into the ground now and then. 2,000—If you think you use a lot of fertilizer, you should get in touch with some Eastern Noi’th Carolina tobacco farmers, some of whom used 1,800-2,000 pounds to the acre last yeJr. Agronomists will tell you with out fear of refutation that the use of fertiliser '.vill give you a better return on your investment —under proper circumstances— than anything else. CARRIER BOYS—Dr. C. C. Crittenden, director of the. State Department of Archives and His tory, is a paper boy these days. His son, who delivers a Raleigh daily, has been ill with the flue (like most everybody else, appar ently), so Dr. Crittenden has been singing the news. Also a newspaper boy now ,is Howard Satterfield, professor at State College and whose son in sick. The neighbors out on Park drive have been getting good laughs from watching these two ;“boys” nod solemnly as 'they meet each other on their respective routes. 221 DIVORCES—Wake county had 221 divorces during 1945—a record and a gain of 19 over 1944. But Wake still has quite a few more marriages than divorces. Isn’t that fine! It is an ironical and shameful fact that in th’s country where we talk of love all the time, sing about it all the time, hear songs about it on the radio every hour of every day and night in the year, read about it in the news papers and magazines and books all the time, and see it in the movies every day, we have more divorces from lack of love than any other land on earth. The folks who heard arid saw Agriculture Secretary Clinton P. Anderson ,i,n Raleigh last week were very much impressed by him. He’s a good speaker—much better than his boss, H. Truman, who garbled his talk over the radio last Thursday night. Anderson has poise and self-assurance, and you are going to hear more from him. He threw several nice bouquets aj Agriculture Commissioner Kerr Scott, who is now planning to run (or may be already running) for re-election. Scott and Anderson became fast friends at the^ annual meeting of the National Associ ation of Commissioners of Agri culture held in Memphis—and at which Scott was elected -vice president of the assojjiation. Senator Bailey, looking pale and wan, was introduced at the lunch eon honoring Anderson as the elder North Carolina senator and Senator Hoey as the youth-. ful senator. Hoey is a little younger than Bailey. In reporting it, one of the dail ies which has never been very fav orable toward Senator Bailey, .in- advertaently had it this way: “Dr. Poe introduced Senator Bailey as “Senator Bailey.’’ Immediately after, he introduced North Caro lina’s “useful junior senator,” Clyde R. Hoey. You can imagine how this mis take made Senator Bailey feel. Scallions! Smith-Douglas Fertilizer Co. plans to come out with some big newspaper advertising telling of its differences with the State De partment of Agriculture . . . just a hint to those interested. . . They say now that Dick Reynolds wants to leave his very good-looking wife,, but that she won’t listen to it . . . and don’t say it’s the money angle either, for she’s tobacco heir herself, a fine woman, and has more money than you and your folks and I and mine, all put together. . . The State Farm Bu reau conventi,on, the biggest ever held, will come off in Winston- Salem on Feoruary 5, 6. 7. . . . HaiTy B. Caldwell is scheduled to be re-elected master of the state Grange in High Point this after noon, or possibly tomorrow. ''f : — » west End Ne'ws By LILLIE R. BOYD Staff Reporter.
