Vol. VII—No. SI $1.00 PRR TKAB-x^ A COPY Lillington, N. C.^ Thursday, Decembot 24, 1925 "If It Concerns Harnett, It*a in THE NEWS^ SOLEMN BEAUTY MARKED PAGEANT BAPTIST CHURCH "White Gifts for the King,*' Portraying Sacrifice o f Substance, Service and Self, Witnessed by Large Con* gregation Hiffhly pleasing and at the same time deeply impressive was 'the pag eant "White Gifts for the King,” presented by local talent at the Lfl- lington 'Baptist Chtfrch last Sunday night. The 'presen'tation was wit nessed by a congregation that taxed the seating capacity of the church; and. Judging by the many commen datory remarks, It was greatly ap preciated not only for its remarka ble interest but because of lt.s beau tiful solemnity. The presents In cluded In thei "lyhite Gifts for the King" showed in'* material substance over 1200.00. This sum is 'to be given entirely for missions—the help of that cau.se being the motive for staging the pageant. The church was appropriately decorated, the guiding Star of Bethlehem resting In 'the firmament immediately above the manger where lay the Babe who was to be the Savior of the world. Three can dles lighted upon pillars that braced the chancel typified the worldly light that was to lead the lives of the worshipers at the Holy Shrine as they pledged to the new-born King their substance, their Service, their Self. Wording of the pageant that enabled the audience to easily follofw the thread of the beautiful story of the birth of Jesus was read from the rear of the stage; and a white-robed choir sang the hymns of dedication. The Shepherds from 'the Judean hills came, saw the ful fillment of the angel's prophecy, worshiped and went their way secure in the belief that they had seen the 'Messiah, whose name they glorified in silent praise. The W'se Men of tne East, bearing gifts and singing hymns In honor of the coming of the King, worshiped at the Shrine with I ho same reverence as the humble Shepherds. The Gift-bearers, those who rep resented the various departments of activity in the Church and Sunday School, pre.senled their offerings at the Manger with appropriate pledge of loyalty to the King. Prayer by one, then another, seated the solemn pact that bound the hearts of the givers with the Substance given. From the wee tot who brought his offering from the juvenile society of Sunbeams, to the older ones ■ who sponsored the gifts and pledges of 'the Bible classes and Mission Socie ties,—all of the organization known as Elllington Bapist Church was rep resented in the gifts to Him. One of the most impressive scenes was the singing of her love for her new-born Babe by Mary, the Mother of Jesus, as she sat by the Manger and poured out her heart In love and gratitude for fulfillment of Heaven's promise. The solos and choir sing ing were excellently done. The large congregation Joined In the service with a free-will contri bution as the plates were passed by the gift-bearers There was no one In the church but who was deeply appreciative of the pageant. Those who executed it are deserving of much praise for their effort, and It is probably true that they feel amply compensated by the Immense interest manifested EAST CAROLINA CHAMBER OP COMMERCE ON TOUR One of the important matters de cided upon at the mooting of The Directors and Oflficers of the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce in Kinston Friday night, was the de termining of the itinerary for the Industrial Tour to be made through •the Piedmont Section of North Caro lina In January. The dates are Jan uary 12-13-15-15. The 'first group, consisting of a'll those representatives nearest to Kinston, will assemble at Kinston on the morning of the 12tli at 9 o'clock. The next "pick up” point will be at LaGrange, then Goldsboro, Smlth'field, and the final concentra tion Point will be in Raleigh. The party will reach about 11:45 and will proceed on the lour. The following route will be fol lowed; Raleigh out route 50. mak ing Sanford and Rockingham first day. The first plght out will be in Rockingham where there are more than a dozen cotton mills. Route 20 will be taken from Rockingham to CharloHe, stops being made at Wadesboro and Monroe. The sec ond night out will bo spent In Char lotte, where the party will be the guests of the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce at a banquet. The pro ceedings of this meeting will be broadcasted by Radio. From Char lotte Route 15 will be followed to Salisbury and Route 10 -through High Point, Greensboro, Burlington, Durham and on into Raleigh. The third night out will probably be spent at Burlington, The total mileage will be about 560 miles. Each car will bear Its own expenses All cars will have a uniform sign to show that the tour is being conduct ed by the Eastern Carolina Chamber of Commerce, and will cary the name of the town represented in this to-ur. "We are not making this trip to advertise Eastern North Carolina, but to get acquainted with our Piedmont Neighbors,” John W. Holmes said recently. This will be the first tour of its kind to be, made from Eastern North Carolina Into the Piedmont section. ALL N. C. NEEDS IS ADVERTISING SAYS MR.

PLTIOHASER OP SEAl*S EXPRESSES API*RR€IATION Miss Dora Beck has received many letters from purchasers of Christmas seals, thanking her for .sending them and expressing appreciation of the opportunity thus to help serve a worthy cause. "II Is one of the great est things that has ever been gotten up.' writes Mr. W. V. Vance, and his letter is so full of the true spirit of service that It is given here: Liliington. N. C., Rt. 3. Miss Dora Beck, Liliington, N. C. Dear Miss Beck; With tlianks for the Chrlst- inas Seals you sent us, I hope you will have a igreat success -In selling the Seals, for I think it Is one of the greatest -things that ever has been gotten -up. I am enclosing you one dollar (|1.00) for the Seals. Yours truly, W, V. Vance. A “tremendous reduction” in prices on all Dodge Brothers motor cars, effective after midnight of De cember 15, but not to be announced until January 7th, is forecast In a telegram from Robef-t C. Graham, vice-president of the oorpoation. to Dodge Bro-thors distributors and dealers all over the country today. The reduction, it is slated, will be based upon a new policy which ad mits of almost doubled production. While the company began 1925 with a capacity of about 700 cars dally the nev/ program w'lll call for a daily production of some 1,500 cars. Otherwise, however, according to this statement, Dodge Brofhors poli cies will not be .affected. The text of the statement, received by Stow- art's Garage, local distributor, fol lows: “On January 7, 1926, Dodge Brothers, incorporated, will an nounce a tremendous reduction in the prices of their complete line of motor cars. "These reductions will apply on all cars bought after midnight De cember 15, 1925. "When the new prices are made known January 7 the full amount of the reductions will be immediately refunded to all purchasers since De cember 16. "These revolutionary reductions are made possible by a recently com pleted 310.000,000 expan'sl'on 'prlo-„ gram—now building and equipment 'that will nearly double the capacity of Dodge Brothers factories In 1926. “There is no change in the policy upon which Dodge Brothers estab lished their leadership 11 years ago —the policy of constant imprdve-*^ ment without yearly models.” Miami, Florida, Dec. 19th.—^Many Florida developers are prophesying that North Carolina will be the next stale to experience,, a nation-wide boom with an attendant era of pros perlty and growth unprecedented in the history of the commonwealth, according to Robert S. Clary, of Greensboro and Miami. •Numerous large subdividers and real osta'te developers now operat ing in Florida have signified their Intention of e.sta'bllshlng offices In North Oarollnii at an early date, says Mr. Clary, in order to be pre-; pared for the tremendous' develop ment certain to be attained by the Old North 'State. Because of the state's superb 'location, wonderful agricultural and manufacturing potentialities, and unequalled year-round cllmato, North Carolina’s mountains, beaches, and Piedmont hills will soon be in almost as great demand as the palms and sunshine of Flori dll. This prodl-otlon is made by a native North Carolinian who has made an intensive study of the two states' respective resources; for Mr Clary Is pre.sldent of the Roblnson- Clary Advertising Agency, with headquarters in Miami, • “.'V.ll that North Carolina needs,” says he, “is advertising. Every city In the state should follow Miami’s load and provide funds for this pur- po.se, bv imposing a publicity tax of two mills per dollar on the asses sable valuation of all property within the corporate limits. Every pi'opovty owner Is glad to spend a fifth of a cent per dollar for a-dvertis- ing, as soon as he realizes that by, so doing the value of his property will be doubled. "‘Florida is booming because Floridians know that It pays to ad vertise. Single real estate compan ies are spending as much as 32,000,,- 000, per .rear for publicity; and practically every town and village in the state, as well as all of the large cities, are making appropria tions with which to tell the world about Florida.” 20 OBSERVATION STATIONS TO TEST OAUSE.S OE RADIO FADING Investigation of „,.oi , , "fading’' on a g^ate College, "ilf plans are stale never before attempted in the United States will be made in mid- January at twenty obitervation sta tions, it was announced to-day by J. K. Smith of the Stewart-Warner corporation CHRISTMAS SHOPPING GOING WITH A RUSH The admonition to "Do your Christmas shopping early” may have its effect on some people, but never on the "late shopper.” The late shopper intends to have his or her own time about "putting out” money- on Santa Claus, and no one need In terfere—at least such interference will be spent in vain. Merchants are experiencing the usual, annual, regular, much-to-berexpected late rush of shopping, and when the time rolls round to lock up shop and quit tonight the large stocks of Santa Claus ware will have-been diminish ed to such extent that the clerks will experience little dlIBculty in clear ing away the holiday ‘ remnants and displaying, the ordinary every-day wares again. ‘ Liliington merchants are much pleased, with the trade their cus tomers .and friends have given them this se-asou. A TRUE STORY HTR I Q VI QITF n'®™® ^AMP TO SPEAK Vlalllliilj TO TENNESSEE GROUPS INSTITUTIONS TO MAKE HAPPINESS Girl Scouts and Scholars Gave Presents and Sang Songs to Inmates of County Home and Others Christmas Seals! Christmas Seals! Who will buy? The merry voice of a college lad pealed forth across the campus on the November air reaching the ears of a senior sitting In his room de jected. careworn, heart sick. ,Tho honor letter on his sweater, the de bater’s key, the fraternity emblem each told its story of achievement and happy days. •His roommate awkwardly pound ed his shoulder saying, “It lb Just a slight attack, old man. You will be well In no time. The doctor said tuberculosis is„eaany cured when It is fought sciehtiflcally in the,early Stages, Your stay in the sanatorium will be a short one.’' Brave, smiling, head e^ect and face forward, the senior put aside his' dreams, folded away his cher ished plans, 'went to the sanator ium and fought the fight. Days lengthened Into weeks, and weeks into months until .one shining day, glorious 'day the doctor said the longed-for word, "Cured.” “Tell my story, said this college senioV. "Tell it to every student In North Carolina'. Teach them that I might ha've been spared this trial if the heal'ih message of the Christmas Seals had .been told to me while I was a'child in school;, had the health habits ■which help to prevent tuber culosis been trained Into my dlfe while it was easy to acquire them.” Christmas Seals! Christmas Seals! Who will ’buy? Bach has Its mes sage of hope, each has its weapon to fight the Great White Plague. •Girl Scouts of Liliington and Mrs. Bunn's class In school, under the direction of Mrs. Bunn and Miss Beck, visited .the iCounty Home Tuesday and entertained the Inmates In that institution wltli Christmas carols. Besides the songs the girls carried baskets and packages of iiriiit, goodies and many other good things to eat which they presented to the in'mates of the Home, The hearty good cheer which the visit of the young messengers brought to the unfortunate shnt-lns;:^ furnished a bright event in the lives of all the participants, the memory of which will Unger through the years' to come. After leaving the County Home the Christmas Messengers went to otlu'r homes in the community— homes into which there might, not come as much of the- cheerful- sldV of life as in some other cases—and' presented their gifts and' sang soifgs’ of Yuietlde spirit. In addition to the good things to eat, the Scouts and Scholars gather ed articles of comfortable- clotiSlng and gave them where they were most needed. These things were much appreciated, and were equally appropriate gifts to accompany the other gifts. Into every home visited by the Scouts and Scholars there was brought an amazingly bright hap piness into the lives of those visited and the givers of the gifts were no less joyful than the recipients. A more delightfully satisfying method of celebrating .the'natal period of the world’s Savior coiild^not.he devised. Mrs, Bunn aud Miss Beck • sug gested the idea to the young Scouts and' Scholars, and the sponsors could not say which enjoyed the oc casion mof;t~the givers, the reel-' pients, or the sponsors.

AND MRS. .JOHNSON I.,OSE HOME BY FIRE Mr. and Mrs. Carlle Johnson lost their entire household goods and provisions last Friday when fire of unknown origin desLifoyed their home. In the loss Is included a large lot of fresh meat which had Just been salted away. Mr. Johnson had recently butchered several hogs and had put the meat a,way. The flames consumed every piece of it. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson lived in Neill’s Creek township. The house was the property of J. A. Blalock of Miami, Florida, It Is not known whether Mr. Johnson or Mr. Bla lock carried any insurance.

Essie Black, Ma- and Eula Mc- Hi'lhorto .such experiments have been carried on in isolated sections of the countty between twol or at most throe h.-rtlons. The results of such research have been negligible.. There Is still no explanation of why' signals should be sftronger in the winter than static electricity leaps out of one’s hair or sparks out of the rug a one's feet, and weak in summer when there are apparently no sta'lic charges in the things about us, according to 'Mr. .Smith. The Stowart-Warner ‘observation post will chart .readings on selected distant stations every two minutes' during the period of the tests. The results will be averaged and plotted on a map similar to that issued by the government weatllor bureau. It is the belief of t'he engineers con ducting the test.s ,that curves which wll'l make possible a comparison of effects and, a searcli for causes will result,-.. If so, the experiment will be repeated at regular 'intervals throughout the Winter. "By n comparison of ‘fading’ and the static curves with those of the U. S. weather map it will be possible to determine'the effect of weather, on such phenomena” said Mr. Smith,, "By plol'iing the curves of ‘fading’ and static in tests on stations of varying wave length, .mine tangible progress..rinny be made toward dis covering' what frequencies are best for broadcast. "The plan to hold the tests ori ginated in a discovery that Chicago reception this year has failed, to fol low the accepted rules. There have been several clear, cold nights on which it has been impossible to hear stations 500 miles apart. “On the other hand, there have been warm, wet nights entirely free from static and perfect for broad cast reception from distant points,” Raleigh, Dec. '22.—"Now Is the right time to begin preparations for the spring rush of planting”, says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at well laid now, and put into action with out delay, a better crop will result There are many im^^rtant factors that contribute to a’’, good' yield, such as soli fertility, proper ferti lizer, good seed, good cultivation, and good seasons; but •other things being anywhere nearly equal, the crop that is planted On. •lime will always outyleld one planted too late. "Fall and winter plowing is the first step to:;,tak^e. More fall plow ing has.been done this year in North Carolina than ever before. All fields .not growing cover crops ' . r , should be. well broken as soon as soli conditions will permit. Winter freezes ,jwril. pulverize these fields much batter aud cheaper- than can be done with harrowjs in the spring. "The fai;mer',. who ,!Is following a definite crop rotation-already knows how many acres of each' crop he will have next year, and on what llelds.veach crop is to be planted. ;Thls practice should he followed by all farmers to enable them to plain Intelligently.’^' Mr. Blair advises every farmer to get 'his clover seed, lespedeza. soy beans, improved cotton seed,, and seed corn for 1926 as soon as pos sible. 'Prices are nearly always lower at this time than In the spring, and seed offerings have not been picked over, so there is a better chance to get good quality.. But .most important of all, the seed will be ready when planting time comes, he .says. A letter from Mrs. C. Y. 'Carlson (nee Miss Mary Bethea) gives some Idea of the attractiveness of Florida. Mrs. Carlson, who recently went to Florida with her husband, lives at Ocala, near Silver Springs.' 'Mr. Carlson holds' a responsible'govern ment position at Ocala.' Mrs. Carl- - > • l ,s r son in her letter to 'home folks says that Silver Springs and its surround-^ tugs hold some of the most beautiful scenery she ever saw, and that- none; of It is artificial—all natural for mation and growth. She express es herself as highly pleased with Florida and thinks'it a wonderful' ■^country. Perhaps it may furnish to people, v'ho have been unable to understand' why Florida Is so attractive to the throngs that go there, an idea as to the reason. The place is Just so naturally beautiful, that people, love to enjoy the grandeur of it,, Every- J>ody loves beauty, and it does seem that a goodly ponlon:;of the people’ in the United States.'are seeking' It.
