(.Continued from First Page) Entered as second-class matter Robert Parri.=h passed away at his home on Second Street here last Friday night. Mr. Parrish, who was 70 years old, and who had been in bad health for more than a year, was stricken with paralysis on No vember 19th, and ijever regained consciousness. / The funeral was held from the July 4, 1929, at the post office at home last Saturday afternoon, the Selma, N. C. March 3, 1879. under the Act of WHAT OUR STATE OWES IN SHORT TERM NOTES service being conducted by Rev P. Smith, pastor of the Smithfield Pre-byterian church. Interment was made in the cemetery at Oakland church in Cleveland Township. State papers a few day.s ago car ried the following news story which will be of interest to the people of this section: Approximately $12,500,000 in short term notes held against the State of North Carolina by 52 State banks and four New York banks will present one of the pressing problems to confront the 1933 Gen eral Assembly which convenes in Raleigh January 4. • More than half of ■ the amount borrowed represents notes that have been renewed from time to time, while negotiations recently were completed to borrow $5,000,000 to meet bond maturities and intere.st on January 1. The list of banks holding the notes was made public at the State treasurer’s office. Of the total amount of the short term notes, $6,772,000 is due to the New York banks while the balance was borrowed from State banks. State treasurer John Stedman commended the patrotism and co-op eration of North Carolina bankers, asserting that they have shown a splendid spirit and deserve credit for saving the State’s financial structure from collapse. Each of the following New York banks holds notes for $1,693,000: The First Natio.nal Bank, the Bank ers Trust Company, the National City Bank and the Chase National Bank. The 52 State Banks holding the short term notes and the amounts follow: Wachovia Bank and 'frust Com pany, $1,160,000; North Carolina Bank and Trust Company, $594,000; Fidelity Bank of Durham, $55,000; American Trust Company, of Char lotte, $750,000; Bank of Onslow, of Jacksonville, $30,000; Page Trust Company, of Raleigh, $100,000; Un ion National Bank of Charlotte, $150,000.

First National Bank of Morgan- ton, $100,000; First National Bank of Salisbury, $15,000; State Trust Company of Hendersonville, $20,000; Citizens National Bank of Gastonia, $10,000; Tryon Bank and Trust Com pany of Tryon, $10,000; First Na tional Bank of Shelby, $25,000; Un ion Trust Company of Shelby, $10,- 000; Concord National Bank, $75,- 000; Durham Loan and Trust Com pany, $250,000; Peoples Saving Bank and Trust Company of Wil- tnington, $100,000.

Sanders of Smithfield, last Monday, which tipped the scales at 610 pounds. Mr. Sanders, who is mail carrier on Rural Route No. 2, does quite, a bit of farming a side line. He is a great believer in the wisdom of raising his' own “hog and hominy”, and he sometimes ships some of his hogs to the Richmond market. He does not fool with cotton any more, and does not go in strong for tobacco. By sow ing rye for a winter cover crop he has good grazing for his hogs and other stock in the winter and early spring. The rye is followed by corn, soy beans, sweet potatoes, etc., and the hogs do quite a bit of the har vesting for themselves. The Smithfield High School band, and the Physical Education drill team were given quite an ovation in Raleigh on Thanksgiving Day, when they attended the football game between the University of South Carolina and North' Carolina State Colleges. There were 68 of the Smithfield boys, all dressed in West Point Cadet style, and tthey were well drilled. As they marched into the stadium with perfect step and the band playing the State Col lege song, the drill team formed the letter “S” and were given gen erous applause. The Governors of both North and South Carolina, and many other prominent people were in the au dience. The Smithfield boys, under the leadership of G. W. Grove, director of the band, and J. A. Gerowe, di rector of the drill team, made such a favorable impression that they have been invited to participate in the parade when the new Governor is inaugurated in January. The people of Smithfield are glad to know that Rev. B. T. Hur ley, pastor of the Methodist church here, will be with us for another year. most of the frills that have crept into the teaching of geography and get back to fundamentals. It is well known among school men that this Yearbook will stand ardize both content and method in school geography for several years. New geographies will be written and teachers of geography will be taught according to its specifications. It would, therefore, appear unwise un der any circumstances for a State to tie itself up with any so-called modern and un-tried geography which would likely be found anti quated and out of line with the findings of this investigation. According to Mrs. W. T. Best, State Commissioner of Public Wel fare, one of the biggest problems Parent-Teacher Associations have to deal with is providing books for chiidren unable to buy them. An urgent request has gone out all ov er the State to parents who have school books their children no longer need to turn them o'i'er to the local Parent-Teacher Association for dis tribution among those unable to buy them for themselves. Thousands have already been supplied with books in this way. It is hard to believe that the State Board of Education will de.'troy the worth of these books by making a' change at this time. In view of the pending report to be made to the 1933 session of the Legislature by a special Commis sion appointed two years ago to study the. whole., matter of cost, selection, and distribution of school books, it looks, as if the change might be delayed while the State determines upon the question of whether free textbooks are to be provided for the school children. In that event the change might be made with a little more freedom since the State would feel better- able to make long term plans than would the small citizen who mu.st always live by the rule of expedien cy. With tax sales mounting ^t the increased rate of 50 per cent a year; with the State borrowing nearly $1,000,000 from the Federal government for relief, much of which is being spent to provide books for needy children and which has to be paid out of tax money; and with the State looking almost despairingly for $12,000,000 and which to balance its budget the av erage citizen simply cannot conceive of the State Board deliberately de stroying $300,000 worth of book.s now in the hands of the children. It is doubtful if in any other one way the Board can give as much direct relief to the peoples’ already over strained pocket-books.

H appy Uttle girl, just bursting with pep, and she has never tasted a “tome!” Every child’s stomach, liver, and bowels need stimulating at times, but give children something you know all about. Follow the advice of that famous family physician -who gave the world Syrup Pepsin. Stimulate the body’s vital organs. Dr. Caldwell s prescription of pure pepsin, active senna, and fresh herbs is a mild stimulant that keeps the system from getting sluggish. If your youngsters don’t do well at school, don’t play as hard or eat as well as other children do, begin this evening with Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin. This gentle stimulant will soon right things! The bow-els will move with better regularity and thoroughness. There won t be so many sick spells or colds. You’ll find it just as wonderful for adults, too, in larger spoonfuls! Get some Syrup Pepsin; protect your household from those bilious days, frequent headaches, and that sluggish state of half-health that means the bowels need stimulating. Keep this preparation in the home to use instead of harsh cathartics that cause chronic constipation if taken too often. You can always get Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin at any drug store; they have it all ready in big bottles. lections from the “South Side Singers”, and the “Lsraelite” quar tettes were enjoyed.
