Likewise in 1930 Senator Bailey, won the nomination over Senator Simmons in the face of the opgosilion of the- daily press. He was sop- , ported almost unanimously by the , country journals. This comes in part j from the fact that the country news- ? pa pennon is in constant persona! j ich with a large percentage of his t r itclers, while the city brother com- , muni's with the folks only through use of his typewriter.

Appalachian State Teachers College located at Boone is radiating a greater influence for a better educated citizenship in Northwestern North Carolina at present than ever. For years it has been recognized as one of the "up and coming" colleges of the State. j Out of the total enrollment of 8751 students in the four classes at the in-j stitution, Wilkes, Iredell, Lincoln and Watauga counties send 276. Not all. of course, but a great many of these students, we believe, would never be affoided an opportunity to pursue a higher education than is offered in the average high school. Wifl, til, f nl<.,.wCn?nl f\- R B. Dougherty. as plivi. ?t tke v.hcci, Appalachian State Teachers College has grown up and has been of wonderful benefit to the mountain and foothill peonle. From the doors of that institution young men and young women have passed out and have taken high positions in the industrial, professional, and home life of this and other states. Proximity of the school, its remarkable success in securing positions for students whom it puts through the educational mill, a considerate faculty that knows and loves our mountain people, and the tact that a goou education is available at a moderate cost, are a few reasons for success of the school.

It would seem to be hard and uphill work for those who really believe in the surpassing greatness of Christianity to make headway against the widespread unbelief and indifference of the present day together with the strange attitude of compromise on the part of many who are supposed to be defenders of the Christian Faith, but who fail to realize its surpassing greatness. There is this to encourage us. however, that Almighty Cod as evidently shown by His works, is fully able to bring to a triumphant consummation, the great and mighty work which He undertook when He sent His Son into tne world and after His humiliation "also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a Name, which is above every name, that in the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things on earth and of things under the earth, and that every tongue should coniess tnat Jesus Christ is Lorn to the Glory of God the Father."
