Guardsmea Start for v EI Paso This Week for Duty ' , on Border. Major .Wade H. Phillips, who Is at home on a three day leave of absence before going to the border, called on The Dispatch yesterday. He says the boys at Camp Glenn are delighted with the orders to move at once to the Mexican border. The third regiment to which Captain Leonard, and Capt Newby's Companies belong, will take the train the last of this week or first of next. The Lexington Company, Ma jor Phillips says, will be routed by Raleigh, Charlotte, Atlanta, Birming ham, Memphis, Texarkana, and thence to their destination at El Paso. So the Lexington men will not pass through Lexington. The trip will-take about six days. The railroad has provided tourist and Pullman sleepers for the men and officers. Cooking on the journey will be done on the . train, stoves being set up for this purpose In the baggage cars. The trains will stop at least once per day and the men will alight long enough to take exer cise and if possible take a bath in some, of -the many rivers along the way.' 'Each battalion will have a train by itself and Major Phillips will be in command . of the train forthe third oattauon, tnira regiment. The health of the Lexington boys continues to be excellent the sea air and sunshine together with dally ex ercise having worked wonders in theif appearance. .They; begin to look like real soldiers. ' - It Is not known definitely. Major Phillips says, how Ions the troopB will remain on the border, but it will be about two months at least - At this time of year the climate at El Paso is fine, the nights cool and the weather dry. Overcoats and winter clothing are being supplied -the men. While on the border, the Lexington Com pany will take Its turn in doing patrol duty. 1 This consists in guarding a sec tion of . the International boundary against raids by Mexican bandits, and in preventing the smuggling across of arm and ammunition, and other vio lations of international law. The troops will be supplied with motor trucks and machine guns. , , ' ; Capt Leonard a Company continues to take the lead In the third regiment, all the men having become proficient soldiers under the guiding hand of their good captain.

Lieutenant Governor, will address the voters of Davidson county, in the court house at Lexington, Saturday ' afternoon, Sept. 23rd, at 2:30. A clean, tearless man, a progressive citizen, a speaker with a message that compels atten tion. Mr. Gardner will please all who bear him. He is how physically fit as a football player, after recovering from injuries last Thanksgiving that would have killed a weaker man. His determination to live and serve his state was Just as valuable aid to the physicians as his wonderful physique. His nomination was unopposed, and his popularity is confined to. no sec tion of the state. He will appeal pow erfully to young Democrats and there should be an outpouring of these from all over the county, at the court house Mr. Gardner s friends here remem ber the Interest of the state in his re markable fight for lifen the Wblte- head-Stokes Sanitarium. For a bait nour he was confined in a 'wreckeu coach, almost Coasting to death, , wnue a pressing timber slowly pushing snapped his leg tn twain. After being carried to the hospital he heard the idoctor say he could not li fe over two hours. "But, I knew I would live, for 1 was determined to fight it out," said Mrv' Gardner in speaking of the inci dent afterwards.

It' la planned to have the biggest political gathering of year here on Tuesday, October Srd, when Thomas W. Blckett Democratic candidate for Governor, comes to Lexington 1 to speak. Everywhere Blckett has gone he has had a wonderful reception this year and his speeches have been ring ing from the mountains to the sea. Probably no candidate for governor has been speaking so effectively since the palmiest days of Zeb Vance. ;. It is the plan of Lexington to pro vide a rousing reception for Mr. Blck ett when he arrives, here on the after noon of October 3rd; A great parade of autos,. horseback and miileback ri ders, including three brass bands, Er langer, Reeds and Southmont are in cluded in the present plans, which will be more fully developed and giv en In detail next week. ' , Committees have already been nam ed to secure a speaker's stand and seats for a great outdoor meeting, as the court house Is too small to accom modate anything like the number of folks expected. A parade committee has been named to speak to the auto owners of town and county to have their cars in line and these will con sult in the appointment of about fifty marshals from over the county, who are expected to come on horseback and ride in the parade. A big recep tion committee will be appointed to meet Governor Blckett and sit with him on the speaker's stand. A com mittee on decoration and publicity has also been appointed. : All these com mittees will be notified by Chairman W. S. Anderson and they with all dem ocrats of Lexington and any from the county who can come are urged to be at the Democratic Headquarters in the Leazar Building Thursday night The call is to all Democrats, for a number of details are to be worked out then.

Newton, of Thomasvllle and Dr. M. L. Kesler, manager of the Orphanage. The candidate for ministerial honors was subjected -to a soul-searching ex amination at length and stood the test in a manner highly satisfactory to the examining preacher.

Hale, Miss Roxie Sheets, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Miller and children, Col. G. F. Hanklna, Dr. C. R. Sharp. Mlsa Eulat Miller, Dr. R. L. Reynolds, Messrs. C. D. Hunt John Sink. Supt P. L. Feezor and E. E.

Democrat Choose Fine Young Beeds Man As Their Candidate for the : Legislature. It is not stretching tha mattery bit to say that there ia widespread and practically unanimous gratification at the action of the Democratic Execu tive County Committee tn selecting Mr. Bayard F. Sink; of Reeds, as the candidate of the party for the Legisla ture. Democrats from different sec tions of the county were consulted and all were delighted at the mention of Mr. Sink's name. The committee was not inclined, to go in too pig a hurry after Col. Lambeth withdrew, for they wanted to secure a candidate of worth iness who could command the united support of the party and the confi dence of men of all parties in David son county. This they believe, they have done in the selecHoli of Mr. Sink. He is a fluent speaker and will visit all sections of the county, shake hands and make speeches and inform the people that he stands with them on all questions affecting the future of the county. i , .;..'... Bayard F. Sink was born Sept 25, 1887, at Tyro, and consequently will be 29 years old next Monday. He is a son of Thomas F. Sink, for -many years one of Tyro township's leading citizens, .

Penny reports thai she haa succeeded with little trouble In disposing of the entire tomato out put of the canning club ot Davidson county this summer. She has secur ed orders from local merchants for every can and she now fear that the supply won't be quite enough to fill the demand.

Hi text wa from th occasion of th Crucifix ion, when gambler-caat lot for th raiment of Christ in the very shadow of the cross. "And at this vry mo mtnt no doubt.'' said the pastor, "the dice are being rattled and the carda shuffled In Lextngtoa." Ia a general way th pastor devoted moat of hi sermon to a condemnation of gamb ling, characterizing- the practice as dishonest sinful and destructive to those engaging In It and described the gambler a " a parasite, vampire and I contemptible sort of person. He con demned "matching for drinks" and ("social gambling" aa two ot th most 'prevalent forma tn Lexington,, and I warned hi congregation of what these thing usually lead to. Gamb- ling In Itself, he aald, waa merely a contest between thlevel In It profes sional tg. In th category ot ganv , biers he placed all from "the crap . shooting negroes to the bridge-playing high filers." He said drove of men Lould be seen going towards a woods In tb southeaster part of th city on almoet any Sunday and declared the gambler had no regard for the Bab bath. Ills prayer was that someone who bid stumbled might be led from his evil way. . W. H. AM W. Y. t I Ml. M. A, W. 11. I ! I " V 1' ' V. v ' I- I A. I jN. ("hma. Ex. Com., V. i'.vi:iii, u. A.

Tried and Is Still Trying to Se cure the Right Man. ,' The farmers of Davidson, many of them at least, are naturally a little ' Impatient at "the delay in securing a farm demonstration agent to' succeed ' Mr. Steele. For the past weeks since . Mr. Steele went to Georgia, Mlsa Pen ny has been putting in her night reading farm bulletins so as. to be able to answer as many Questions as ' she could. But she has Just about all ' the things she can look, after In. her growing work. The farmer need a dem onstration agent and Mis Penny ha been very anxious to see one come to her aid. Recently she - wrote Mr. Steele how badly he was missed and how badly the farmers were missing the work. The following is from Mr. Steele's letter to Mr. Millsaps, district ' agent who has the task of securing a ' man from Davidson on his hands: "I certainly am sorry, that you have not been able to put a good man on, the Job before now. . I think the world of those people, up there. I know them like a book, so I can see Just the ' position the work is in; so much ground is being lost- Those boys that . were depending on me to tell them what to do next with their pigs; those little boys and girls with their fine bunches of chickens, those car-loads ' of potatoes that are being produced who is going to help them get togeth- ' er and get them oft to market? --Those hog associations that , were getting a start so that they could get off car- loads next year what is going to be- ' come of them? Honest, if I had known that there would not be a good f man to walk right in and keep the ' good work going, and at the same time put new impetus and new ideas Into it I would have staid right there, -, regardless of the opportunities down : . here among the Crackers. I worked hard up there in Davidson and I hate ' to see so much ot it lost" - ' After recounting a number of men whom he ha tried to secure for Dav idson without success, Mr. Millsaps explains the heart of the matter ia the following paragraph of his letter ' in reply to Mr. Steele: . "I wish' you could have seen the . matter aa you do now before you left It would have saved me many a heart ' throb, because this haa been a hard -matter. I did not want the work -to languish, hut I cannot help it You must, remember I have had too hard a Job in getting things worked up in Davidson to let Just any one take th work and "ball" It up, and I do not think Mis Penny would want Just a any old thing, or young either, for " that matter, that we would call a man to take the work. ; It I fall to gtt tb rlp' i ort or man it' will. not be i v . . fault T may make S mistake, but W will be'dn unintentional one. - To tell you the troth, men who would make - -good Demonstration Agents are hard to find, especially at the salaries we are paying in North Carolina. Some .' ' of our counties have started in to pay . about $50 and they think with that, much from the Extension Division they ' ought to get a first clasa man, but "first class" men Sre not to be had at that figure long. If we get a young ster at that and he finds out he I any account he will have to hav more, or leave the work. We are go ing to pay better salaries though as. soon as we can." Thu will be seen th difficult! ' encountered, and, while the impa tience of Davidson farmers la but nat ural, it I clear that the future of the work her depend largely on getting the right sort of man. It prove an other thing, too, and that la th great opportunity for th wideawake farm boy who will secure an agricultural education.
