"Ami as the youngest daugh ter of the great Catholic family, with all the Enthusiasm and energy of youth we proposed to make this onr feast day a memorial one: we have idanued and labored without ceasing for many weeks: we have sent forth the call to the children of Holy Church the world over, we have asked them to come and with us honor the Son of God as He has never l>een honored | lieforo in this new land of ours. And behold they have answered our call, nud from every land under the sun they have come.1 the Prince, the prelate, the priest and the bumble pilgrim." History of Hi* Kurharist The Kueharist is one of thp an cient mimes given thp sacrament of the Lord's Snp|ier. Jpsiis said: "I .tin the living bread which eoineth down out of lieaven. that a man may eat thereof and not die. (John vi ? When asked '"How ran this man give lis his flesh to eat?'' Jesus answered: "Amen. Amen. I say unto you. except ye eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his Idood. ye have not life in your selves. He that eateth my flesh and drinketh my blood abideth in me aud I in him." The Kucharist or eating of the bread and wine was practiced early in the life of the Christian Church. St. Paul insisted ii|>on the celebra tion of the Kuchurist but had a lot of trouble with his followers who would rush into the church and guzzle up all the wine nm! eat all the bread before the crowd got there, turning it into a drunken J revelry, lie had to direct that when the faithful met to observe the| sacrament they should all wait for one another: if any were too hungry i to wait they should eat at home. Not New To The Pagans The Houian Catholic Church came upon the world's stage at a time when the temporal powers of the white man's world were on the wane The Catholic Church mine into a pagan world accustomed to religions of dazzling splendor and impressive s\mlMiijsiii. The feast of Bacchus, the go.| of the vineyards had lieen celebrated for ages in great festivals in whii h the celebrants drank of the ! wine, symbolical of the blood of Bacchus. The feast of Ceres, god i des of grain, to whom the farmers ?owed their prosperity, was likewise made the occasion of a great holi day on whieli oecasion the cele , brants ate of the broken bread sym 11 silica I of the beautiful hotly of ! tin ?ir goddess. Knting the bread and drinking Hie wine; eatiug the lmdv and drinking the blood of gods wasn't a : new idea to the |>ugnn world. The Catholic church, picking up tbj* l words of Jesus, gave the eating of the bread and the drinking of the wine a new meaning. Instead ui ?

And to-day, Friday, June 25th. the public will be permitted to step in and see how the money was spent in giving Elizabeth City one of the biggest and best equipped exclusively five and ten cent stores in the South. "Not ninny large cities can boast n bigger and better outfitted five anil ten cent stores than Elizabeth City." says L. P. Kilpatrick. of Atlanta, District Superintendent of the F. W.

And on the second floor a delight ful rest room for (he girl employes of the store has been fixed up. just as in the big city stores. The $18. 000 spent by the Woolworth Co. in hnprvoeuients on a rented store is some measure of the faith of this great national organization in Eliz nliyfli City and evidence of its sound judgement when il planted a five and fell pent store in Eliz nbelli City 10 years ago.

'.ee Drs.1 p. _ EiJ ..-7,1 19 MILLIONS INVOLVED IN THIS RECEIVERSHIP Most Far Reaching Court Order, State or Federal, in History of North Carolina, Is-, sued by Judge Meekins at Elizabeth City ' The most far-reaching court order ever issued in North Carolina was the order of Federal Judge Isaac M. Meek ins in the U. S. Court in Eliz abeth City last Saturday ap pointing a receivership for the Tri-State Tobacco Growers Cooperative Marketing Asso ciation. By Judge Meckins' decision asset# of more than $10,000,000 of ttwe asso ciation were lifted over bodily into a receivership. Few in Elizabeth j City realized the importance of the matters involved. There are 97JKX) members of the cooperative in Vir ginia and the two Carolina*. They own real estate to the value of ! about $3,000,000 and have 80 mil lion pounds of tobacco in storage, i Judge .Meckins first beard the petition for a receivership in Ral eigh Inst March. He found the af fairs of the cooperative in deplor able shape; the evidence showed j that high salaried officers of the cooperative had used their offices to make contracts favorable to them j selves to the great financial loss of I the cooperative. One man, drawing n salary of $40,000 a year, is alleg ' ed to have made $800,000 out of the 1 cooperative in a single year. Judge Meckins did not throw the I eoo|?erafive into a receivership at joint*. He gave them time to put : their bouse in order and show a cleaner slate. But it was not nppar i ent to the Court that the affairs of the cooperative were in any betler shape When (lie cause came up to il*e heard last Saturday, than they , were three months ago. Disappointed Palms The appointment of a recelver Iship for to organization-with asset* | of $liUK>0.000 offered Judge Meek ins the greatest opportunity that ever came to a Federal Judge In North Carolina to hand out patron age. It was a Judge's opportunity I to pay considerable political debts. I Scores of North' Carolinians, old i friends and neighbours of Judge i Meekins, Republicans and Demo I era is, were clamoring, for the hp ; point incuts. Aydleit wanted to be j oiH* of the receivers anil get a j finger 1ft those 1!) niiRiou dollars; j so did Clarence Pugh. liut to the i surprise of everylmdy extept ; those j who know him Intimately. Judge I Meckins lifted the' whAle thing lsi|iiarely out of politics. He ap pointed M. I/. Corey, of New York | City; 'James H. Pou, of Raleigh, land llallett S. Ward of Washing-' J (on. M. T/. Corey or New ioik is h lawyer employed by creditor banks |of the cooperative and these banks have claims aggregating something | like $8.000,(XK> against the coopera tive. Judge Meekins declared that 'they were entitled to representation | in the receivership. Jaines II. Pou, l a Democrat is considered one of the ! ablest lawyers and business men in the State. Hullett S. Ward is & frieinl of the cooperative and has I rendered it valuable service since [ its organization. His appointment | pleased the eoo|>erntive. Meekins Lqpks I'p To Taft ; Juicy patronage, that receiver islilp: but no State Hepublican and J no friend of Judge Meekins in Eltz labeth City benefitted thereby. Judge | Meekins may have disappointed bis ; political friends, but one who knows ? ! him well said: "Meekins takes a | peculiar pride in the judicial posi i tion which he occupies; he will ? never abuse it. He owes his ap ' |miiiitinpiit to the Federal Jndicia|v ' to William Howard Tnft. President Taft made no mistake in goiug over j tin* heads of Republicans and ap pointing Judge Henry G. Connor to j tlie Federal Judiciary in North {Carolina at a time when he was I compelled to declare that there , wasn't a Republican in North Caro lina who could measure up to the appointment At n later date when Judge Connor is removed by death, Taft, now Chief Justice of rhe Supreme Court of the United Stales saw in Isaac Meekins judicial tim ber worthy to succeed Judge Connor and used his influence with Presl ! dent Coolidge to secure Meekins' i appointment. It was a great com pliment Judge Taft paid Isaac Meekins and no one appreciates it j more than Meekins: Meekius will never disappoint ills friend Judge Taft" His ton of the Litigation 'ine Tri-State Tobacco Grow. , . jO*?perntive has nau haid sled eg.
