The officials of the State Depart ment of Education, Raleigh, N. C., attending the meeting were Mr. J. L. Hathcock, Director of School Ac counting; Dr. J. Henry Highsmith, kirectcr Division High School In- \ ?Pection; and Mr. I. C. Griffin, Ex- 1 ecutiv e Secretary of the University * ?* North Carolina Summer School. MEETING OF CATTLE RAISERS TO BE HELD IN CHEROKEE AND CLAY SOON FOLLOWING LETTER RECEIVED BY COUNTY AGENTS GRAY AND BOWD1TCH County Agents R. \\\ Gray and K. D. Bowditch. We have been gathering some in formation for the last several weeks as to the condition apparently facing the beef cattle producers in Western North Carolina. It seems that due to weather conditions many sections where this cattle has been jroing will not use a large number this ye ar. This is bringing about the situation that we can possibly rectify to some extent. In this State we have good corn crops and other feed crops in Eastern Carolina and in parts of the Piedmont section. In a meeting of the District Agents with the Marketing Special ists this morning, it was decided that it would be worth a very definite ef fort on our part to help bring the per son who has feed, in contact with the man who has cattle for sale. A let ter is being sent out today :? ali of the agents relative to this mattt It is felt that in order to present t i i problem in a more specific manner to the Eastern and Piedmont agents that we should have rather definite information as to the number of cat tle for sale, their weights, grade and quality. We also feel that at this time of falling prices that a rather definite effort need be made ii the counties to prevent a condition com ing about such as happeneu in 11*21. We feel that at this time mature cattle should move. We also feel that the cull cattle and low grade cat tle should mo\e out; that the best grades of young well-bred cattle should be kept for further breeding purposes. We feel that spec'il em phasis should be placed upon the u-c of pure-bred bulls. With tins in mind, it will be well to have a beef cattle meeting in each county to take the census of cattle and to find out about what price they want for ti.e differ ent g-ades, or wi! * tel:e. * nd to u ?5w* these other things in addition. Mr. C. G. Filler, with the Division of Markets, can be with you for a meeting of your beef cattle growers on the following dates: Cherokee County. August 15th, at 10 o'clock A. M. Clay county, August 15th. at 2:30 P. M. I would suggest that each of you give this meeting as much publicity Andrews Citizens Are Notified of Seriousness Of Water Supply There Andrews citizens have bee n warned to be saving with water which c? mes from the town's water supply. The following notice was given: "Our citizens are respeetfull> re auested and urge*! to put all plumbing in pood condition immediately, and to use no water except when it is ac tually necessary for domestic pur poses while the present drought pre vail.-. Signed. Water Commission, of | the Town of Andrews." While there is water enough foi all domestic purposes, it was thought wise thing for fire protection to ask j all citizens to discontinue ur-ir.g wa- j ter for watering gardens and washing cars. etc.. until th? present drought prevails. There has been scarcely j any rain in this section for months. Many farmers are beginning to see a! dire need of rain for their crops. The ! extra cool night- help the growing corn and other plants to some extent, i IMPORTANT NOTICE Sometime ago.

Very truly yours, JNC W. GOODMAN, District Agent. WHAT THE COMMUNITY OWES THE CHURCH JAMES LeROY STEELE One of the preceeding writers in this series has discussed the subject, "What the Church Means to the Com munity," and we are to think, brief- j ly, concerning: "What the Community i Owes the Church.'" First of all, let it be said that the community owes the church its sym pathy. If the church is an institu- j tion standing for social purity, civic righteousness, moral integrity and the salvaging of sin-ruined lives ? if is an institution which acts as u stay against the ravages of vice and crime and lust whose very presence radi ates a blessed atmosphere upon all who live within the reach of its in fluence, then every RIGHT THINK ING man and woman will be anxious to have it known that his or her sym pathy is with that institution. I be lieve the church is all of this and ev en more. Some will say. "Not so. The church has lost its influence in my community." Perhaps the church does not have its intended weight in the community. I have never been in- ? side a church which did not stand for the banishment of immorality, the sacredness of marriage; the >ancitl of the home; the abolishing of war; the brotherhood of man; integrity in politics; honesty in business; the re lief of the poor; the lifting of the unfortunate; the healing of the sick; the education of the underprivileged; provision in full for the orphan; the salvation of a civilization, heading for its ruin, by the bringing of all men into vital relationship with Je- j sus Christ and the establishment of the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace. I say, "They do stand for all these." 1 If they fall short of the mark it is because, for the love of sin and self, men have closed their eyes to the fact that the enterprise into which the church of Jesus Christ has entered is the biggest in the world. No man, who knows history, dares challenge this statement: "As the church has prospered so civilization has gone for ward by leaps and bounds. When the church has been shunted into the ? background moral decay has run civ- J ilization's clock in the reverse direc- j tion." Do you criticize the church? | Do you gloat in talks ?.f its deflec tions Without any apology, I say, "Beware! You place yourself in poor company." Then, the community owes the church, not only a passive sympathy, hut an active cooperation as well Surely every man will admit that on every great issue there is a right and a wrong side. And. surely, every man. in hi- sober moments will say to himself, "I MUST see to it that I am found on the RIGHT side." Then when the issues with which the church has to deal are clearly seen, it seems to me that every red-blooded man MUST pet himself on the side he con sider- right and that as quickly as he possibly can. If he can rightly say that the church is all wrong in its in tent.- and purposes and that all the crowd aligned against the church is absolutely right the-i let him, "Walk in the counsel of the ungodly, stand in the way of sinners and sit in the seat of the scornful.** and let him do it with all his might. But if lie be convinced that the church of the Lord Jesus is waging a righteous war in its battle against the force- of evil then IN GOD'S NAME AND TO PRO TECT HIS OWN SELF-RESPECT let him take up the sword and join forc es with the church. But passive sym pathy will not do; lazy, spasmodic ser vice will not do; indifference and neg ligence will not do; the issues at sta?:e are too great. There can be no neu tral ground. 1 ani reminded of u story of an in cident which happened during the war between the states. A pitched bat tic was raging near u little none in Kentucky. All of the men had gone to the army. The tittle mother watch ed mid listened for tidincs of the bat tle until she could stand the inactiv ity no longer. Grabbing the heavy iron poker from beside the tire-place she made for the *k?or. When the children cried for her to c jme back and reminded her rhat ?r. a battle where sword and cannon and musket were taking '.heir toll she could do nothing with an iron poker, she called back as she ran out ih? gate, "Maybe not but by the grace of God I can show them which side I am on," 9 MISS RUTH HAYES PAINFULLY HURT IN AUTO ACCIDENT Miss Ruth Hayes, about thirty years old. daughter of John William Hayes, was seriously injured in an automobile accident Monday night on Highway No. 2K. near Ranger, when she was run over b- a car driven by Franklin Smith, of I'eachtree. Miss Hayes, with some other ped e- trains, was returning from church , when the car came along. She be- | came frightened and is said to have ! lan from one side of the road t ?? the other about three times. In her ex citement. she ran in front of the car. and it is said that Mr. Smith ran out of the road and upon the ban!; trying t" miss her. She was brought to Murphy a nil given first aid treatment, and then carried to the hospital at Copperhill. Her hip is said to have been crushed and she was scratched and bruised otherwise. A message from the hospital late Tuesday stated that she was getting along nicely and had an excellent chance for recovery. DEATH TAKES WELL KNOWN CIVIL ENGINEER John Ross McClelland. widely I known civii eupincer, died iast Tnurs ' day afternoon at "> o'clock. About 14 months ago. Mr. McClel land fell and fractured his hip. Ho had been an invalid sinco. He died in the house in which he was born ;:nd had lived all ?>f his life. H?? was *?T years old. !

Murphy Baptists Are In Midst of Sunday School Revival Twenty-two Baptist churches in th? Western North f'aiolina and West 1 Liberty Associations are cooperating ' this week in a campaign of" Sunday revival. The work is under the aus pices of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Baptist convention and the State Sunday School Board <? f North Carolina Baptists, of which Mr. Perry Morjran is secretary. Mr. Mor gan is in peisonal charge of the cain I aitrn ami is directing the cla?-s and organization woik in the First Bap tist church of Murphy. There are thirteen churches in Cherokee county engaged in the work while nine are cooperating in Clay county with Mr. A. V. Washburn, of Sylva. Fie hi Secietary 'or W stern North Carolina, in charge. The Sun day schools in the.-e churches have an enrollment of nearly twenty-five hun dred. More than eijiht hundred are attending the classes each nijrht and it i> expected that nearly all of those < will stand an examination on the j work being done. Kach afternoon, at Murphy and at Haye-ville, the workers came togeth er bringing delegations from the churches in which they are serving. These meetings are for reports, in stiuctions and inspirational address es. Sunday will be the closing day of the campaign.

The clos ing service will be held in the after noon, at two o'clock (Murphy time) in the First Baptist church of Mur phy. The speaker will be Dr. B. W. Spillman, who closed the campaign last year and it is expected that the church will be packed with the larg est crowd in its history. Dr. Spill man will also speak at the regulai church hour at the First Baptist Church. Andrews Baptist Church Cooperating In Sunday School Revival The Andrews First Baptist church, in cooperation with twenty-three oth er churches in the Western N. C. As sociation and the West Liberty Asso ciation is engaged this week in a Sun day School Revival and Enlargement Campaign. Rev. R. W. Prevost, pas tor, is directing the work. The first meeting Monday was at tended by a large and representa tive body of the Sunday School work ers of the church. Miss Gladys Beck, State Elementary Worker, conducted a conference period for workers in the cradle roll to the Junior Depart ments inclusive, on Monday evening. Much enthusiasm has already been shown by those attending these class es each night. The attendance for the classes has been set at fifty as a minimum. The Sunday school goal for attendance next Sunday has been set at three hundred. The class meets each evening at eight o'clock and lasts for one hour. English "A* She Is Spoke" A Belgian student was relating his experiences in studying the English language. He said: "When I discovered that when I was quick I was fast, if I spent too freely I was fast, and that not to eat was too fast, I was discouraged; but when I came across the sentence, 'The W. N. C. Baptist Association To Meet August 19th and 20th Tin- forty-sixth Annual session of the Western North Carolina General Baptist Association i.* nearing the dat< et aside for this meeting- On Tuesday anci Wednesday before the fourth Sunday in this month, the 19, and 20, has been set aside for the Baptist of this Association to meet for the forty-sixth time. This year is expected to be one of the best in the history of the Asso ciation. Sunday school work has been stimulated during the j>ast year. B. V. P. U. work has grown by leaps ami bounds and the churches have made good progress. Last year the membership of the churches in the Association totaled around four thousand. Sunday school membership totaled around three thou*; r..1 two hundred atid forty five. These fig ures will be much greater this year than last it is believed. To Meet In Hayesville Last year this meeting was held with the Lit tl? Brasstown Baptist church and on invitation of tiie Hayes ville Baptist Church the Association will meet there this year. Rev. F. W. Sinclair is pastor of the Hayes ville church, and also Moderator of the Association. The meeting will begin on Tuesday at ten o'clock, East ern Standard Time, with Pev. C. F. Martin, pastor Martin's Creek Bap tist church, preaching the opening sermon, with Rev. Algie West, alter nate. Clerk Makes Appeal David T. Mashburn, clerk of the Association, makes an urgent appeal to all workers of the different church es to make out their church letters as clear and legible as 'possible. I)o not leave a question unanswered. In complete letters make incomplete sta tistics. The churches this year who gave only fifty cents and one dollar on minutes last year are urged to bring around two dollars this year. Funds are to be brought with the minutes when they are turned over to the clerk. Let all reports from the different committees be typewritten when possible. Committees To Report The following committeemen are to make reports this year. These re ports are also to be typewritten when possible. Grouping churches, W. J. Martin; Temperance and Public Mor als. W. O. Adams; Ministerial Re lief. W. E. Lowe; Periodicals, C. F. , Martin; Stewardship, W. J. Winches ter; Sunday School Work, W. A. Ad ams; B. Y. P. U. Work, David T.

Last year there were around one hundred* and sixty delegates at the Associational meeting. This is a num ber far too small for this Association. Churches are requested to send as large a number this year as possible. The officers of the Association make an urgent request for this. Their aim in this is to educate our member ship to the needs and work of the As [ sociation. Church Letter* If any church clerk has failed to receive their church letter, write Da vid T.
