An address was de livered by Supt. S. B. Underwood of Pitt county schools, after which Supt. Fitzgerald presented the seventh grade certificates and announced the winners in the contests. In the afternoon quite an interest ing athletic program was carried out. The following schools were declared winners: . 1. Running broad jump Long Branch school. 2. Running high JumD Barclavs- ville school. 3. Relay race Duke school. ! 4. 100-yard dash Long Branch school. 5. Sack race Olivia school. 6. 50-yard clash (girls) Coats school. The best school exhibit from each group was brought to Lillington. The exhibits were very good indeed, and each school had a right to be proud of its work. The schools represent ed in this line were: Duke, Barclays ville, Olive Branch, Patterson, Par ker and Lillington. Miss Marian Swain, home demon stration agent, has been doing splen did work with her sewing classes in the schools, and her exhibit was very creditable. Eve though Friday was a rainy day it did not keep the people of Harnett county from attending com mencement. It is gratifying to know that the people are interested in . the schools, and with their cooperation next year it is hoped to have even better group and county commencements.

Dear Sirs: Enclosed is check for $10.00 to.be credited on account ($5,000.00 still due) my inability to do more at present is due to financial smash-ups. The story is one simple in the telling but horrible in its realization. I have been hit between "the lamps," smitten upon both cheeks, daubed, in tne race with a bucket of mud. My locks have been shorn with a cross cut saw, my nails trimmed to the quick with a black-diamond file. I have been gored in the sides with a weaver's beam, been gagged, bound, and put in stocks. To sum up the cold hard facts, I've been hit in the stomach with a 5 lb. axe. I've been frailed and trapped by the devil (debit) and beheaded (yes sir) by the withdrawal of credit. Otherwise I am financially fit and fine and just as soon as I collect the third install ment due on that yearling I sold last spring I'll send another remittance by check, registered letter, M. O. or parcel post. Do not send any more monthly statements, they are calcu lated to bring on nervous prostration and the practice is fast becoming ob solete and considered impolite. Most Resp't., Your Erstwhile Good Customer, OBEDIAH HARDUP, P. O., Everywhere, N. C, R. F. D Raleigh, April 13. The North Carolina tobacco crop made another record step with its March sales made by the 114 warehouses that operated on 31 markets. The total sales reported were 21,528,883 pounds, averaging $14. IT and about 85,000 pounds not reported. The season's crop sold amounts to over 430,000,000 pounds, averaging about 21 cents. This surpasses the govern ment's estimate by almost 50,000, 000 pounds and is 10,000,000 pounds more than was expected even a month ago. The Winston-Salem market led during March with 4,749,086 pounds sold, averaging $13.61 per hundred pounds, of which 3,991,364 pounds were sold by farmers. Wilson was second with 3,336,955 pounds, aver aging $15.20 and of this 2,586.935 pounds were first hand sales. Rox boor averaged the highest price at $19.67 on 392,870 pounds. Wilson made a record season's sale with 62,607,026 pounds, exceeding the Winston-Salem market by over 2,000,000 pounds. Only two-tenths of one per cent of the sales have failed to be reported to date. The bordering markets con servatively estimate that 16,000,00,0 pounds of North Carolina farmers' tobacco is sold in adjoining states in excess of that brought in and sold. The total producers season's sales re ported amount to about 414,000,000 pounds. RALEIGH LETTER (Special Correspondence.) (By Maxwell Gorman.) Raleigh, April 13. The annual meeting of the North Carolina Sun day School Association has been In session in Raleigh the last three days and there is a large attendance, in cluding - some 40 expert Sunday school workers representing all the evangelical churches. Gilbert T. Ste phenson, of Winston, is president, D. W. Sims of Raleigh secretary of the association. Among the prominent men engag ed in the work is Lieut. Got. W. B. Cooper, member of the executive committee of the North Carolina Sunday School Association and teach er in Grace M. E. church Sunday school, Wilmington. Gov. Cooper presided at the session of the adult division of the meeting today. Other distinguished workers from a distance include Dr. Gilbert Glass, Richmond; Prof. H. H. Harris. Em ory university. Ga.; Mrs. Maud Jen kin Baldwin. Chicago, superintend ent children's division. International Sunday School Association; Dr. Jo seph Broughton. Atlanta, superin tendent,' Tabernacle Baptist Sunday School; J. A. Brown. Chadbourn, of Presbyterian Sunday School, and member of executive committee; Dr. William A. Brown, Chicago, a mem ber of staff of International Sunday School Association. The organization stands for those interests common to all Sunday school workers. It is a systematic effort of workers from the various denominations to create public senti ment in favor of more and better de nominational Sunday schools. It strives to help by way of suggestion not by authority; therefore, it helps many, it hinders some. It seeks helpful cooperation, not union. Its conventions and insti tutes discuss methods of work, not church doctrine. These conventions and institutes are really free schools of methods on Sunday school work, open to all who will attend. Leaders in thought in the various denomina tions help in this work. In its work the North Carolina Sunday School Association is inter denominational, for in its various conventions and institutes leaders from various denominations take part. But in results it is denomina tional .for if a worker puts Into use the methods he hears discussed In these meetings, he increases the effi ciency of his own denominational Sunday school.

Reware of Get Rich Quick" Stock. There is considerable comment and some feeling concerning the statement sent out by Insurance Commissioner Wade concerning the alleged "blue sky" stock operations of the International Petroleum Co. of San Antonio. Texas, and involving the business character of Roland P. Beasley. until recently state commis sioner of public welfare and whose reputation among the people here who have -kuown- ba-tcen unques tioned.
