C H- ' i North Carolina 5c COPY?J1.50 PER YEAR CITIZENS MASS MEETING HELD AT ANDREWS Before a large and4 representative fathering ?>f tty? citizens of Andrews >r Monday evening, Representative fnd one or two of the road district? refused to turn over their books, money and machinery to the central ommission, which is composed of one member from each of the six town'hips. There was a general feeling n these districts, it is understood, hat the money and machinery belonging to one district or township might he used in another district. Thi- seems to have been the chief jone of contention. The situation had rraduelly grown worse until an lnjunction was granted by a superior ouri judge recently forbidding the ranr.ferance of machinery from one iistrict to another or the issuance of >cnds tiitii a hearing could he held. Hie (ommision at it-* meeting the , ' r?t of October gave out a statement n which it made public a resolution o the effect that all machinery and money belonging to any road district is established by the old law would ?e used in that district. It is felt hat this statement and resoluion iclped to clear up the situation. Thp Andrews meeting, it is believed, further clarified the misunderstanding that has been thickening all he time. When the real purpose and ntent of the law was explained by dr. Dillard, who was responsible for ts passage, and when the advantages hat will result from having only one ounty rooad commission were pointed out ( munv of thr??n tttiA no/i neriy misunderstood the law, were convinced that it was a wise things 0 do. It is believed that the whole lituation will gradually clear up now ind that the new commision will be illowed to work out a fine county oad system unhindered front any luarter, and helped and supported rrom all parts of the county. The feeling certainly Is spreading hat the commission should be given 1 chance to demonstrate whether or tot it will function better that the ndividual commissions did. It will ake time to prc;ve or disprove this juestion. There ertainly is no dispo;ition on the pan of anyone, it is feeieved, to hinder the building of a 'ine system of roads in the county is quickly as possible. The central :ommision should be able to achieve his end more quickly than individuil commissions working in small areas :ould. The Revival At The Presbyterian Church When Rev. Walter K. Keys was isked to come to Murphy he gave his consent on one condition and that was ".hat we place the responsibility for success or failure of the revival upin the praying of God's people. Following this suggestion each church In town has been entreated through an invitatio^ mailed to the pastor to join in prayer fo rthe spiritual welfare of the entire community. Wal tei ix?ys is ? ^uoa preacner out unless the Spirit of God is dwelling In the hearts of his people the best of preaching will fall and be choked by thorns The only preparation is to be made through prayer. The soul that having prayed is still unvesponsive Is indeed in a oendition that calls for grave concern. Brethren, our town as well as our own hearts demands prayer. Th meeting begins Monday, October 20tth. The first service will 1m held a* 6:30 p. m. Everyone is cordially invited and expected to make this their own church home at sueh times as seem good to the individual to attend. The hours of meeting together are yours. Do with them as seemeth good to you. ERNEST G. CLARY, Tastm*.
