THUiRSDAY, JULY 26, 1928 niHlE GOOD iSHEPHeRD: — The Lord Is. my shepherd: I shall not want. Surely goodness and mercy ahall follow me all the days of my life: and 1 shall dwell In the house of the Lord forever.—.Psalm 23:1, 6. RATES SHOULD BE REDUCED Lillington now nas something that it has long needed, namely, tire fighting apparatus capaible of extin guishing any fire that may occur here. The big G. M. C. motor with Its equipment has been demonstrat ed to the .satisfaction of everyone who has seen It, and Mayor Halford and Town Council are pleased w'lth tbelr purchase. And so the town is well fortified against fire damage. This means that the insurance rates applying to Lillington should 'be cut down. Rates prevailing here now are exorbitant, but it has seem ed that nothing could be done atbout It. The News Is informed that the rates may be cut about 10 per cent. That is not enough. Unless the rates are reduced very materially, the Mayor and Town Council should ap point a committee to Investigate the matter. And In this the property owners should back uP the t-own authorities by refusing to pay any more premiums till the matter U gone Into in a thoroughly business like and satisfactory manner. SOCIETY EDITOR TAKES A RISK The writer of these columns has .sufficient nerve to make a preaiction once In a while. Bui they are fore casts based upon as much of a cer tainty almost as the rising of the sun and the going down of the same. No long shots with great odd against the fulfilment of our sooth- sayings—for reason of the great fear that our readers would .soon dub ur by a shorter name than prophet. And much less would we venture to make such a prediction as that r popular couple will be married next week! Not for a larder full of the choicest food in the world could wo be induced to make a forecast likt- that—much as wo love to eat. For all that luck and whims of the younger set might handicap out prophecy, yet It might come true. But—think of the cold sweat that would rack our frame while fear of a break in fh' troth made ghouls dance Jigs across our vision! N’y. not for a cool million would we take the ri>,k. But the Society Editor of The News calmly tells our readers ihl.s week th.at .a popular young couple w'ill wed next week We sincerely hope they do. But If they don't—ah! please remember that the writer of these columns didn’t say they would. NEWS ITEMS FROM OLIVIA CO-OPS GET MORE THAN 20‘ AND IF SO, APOLOGY TO WHOM? Clyde R. Hoey. senior candidate for elector at large, In a .speech at Shelby Tuesday night opening the Presidential campaign in North Car olina, said: “I am for Al Smith for President and without excuse and without apology.” Mr. Hoey is one ot the best campaign orators In the State, he made a good speech at Shelby and will deliver many more before the Novenfber election If nothing happens to him. There Is Just this point In Mr Hoey’s declaration that strikes The .News oil the funny-tbone. Suppose for the sake of argument, there might be some excuse or apology to be made tor supporting Al Smith. To whom, pray tell us. would a Dem ocrat make excuse or otter apology for supporting a Democrat for of fice? And, too, after the Democratic candidate has received the almost unanimous endorsement by selection at the parly’s convention. Speaking for itself. The New? would feel mighty bad about it if there were any grounds for raising the point that a real Democrat should feel ashamed in supporting Smith. If we felt that way about It we are quite certain we w’ould be come w'eak In the knees and bolt the ticket In November., And we would advise any voter to consult his or her conscience and see if there Is any good and sound reason why Smith should not be voted for. If con science says there might be some ground for excuse or apology, then for righteousness’ sake vote the way consclenec dictates. Always, of course, making sure that it la con science that Is doing the pronuptlng Excuse or apology? To whom would it be made? WHERE WAS EDEN, ANYWAY? The Lillington fruit growers will begin, probably today, picking fro'm their trees some of those larg'e, lus cious Georgia Belle and EUberta peaches, and for the next two weeks there’ll be plenty of this satisfying fruit for the whole community, be sides the carloads shiprped to north ern markets. They’re good to the last bite, these Lillington peaches, and we wish the harvest season might extend over a longer period. 'The peach season comes Just when the watermelons and cantaloupes are in tbeir prime, and our friends In Western Harnett are not yet through gathering huckleberries and green peas. ’Two of our farmer friends informed us this week that they had some of the finest country- cured hams ever seen in their smoke houses. Roasting ears, beets, squash and all the other delicacies that Har nett gardens are noted for are to be had on short notice by anyone who desires them. If tbe Garden of Eden wasn’t right here in Harnett, then where in the world was it? The North Carolina Cotton Grow era Co-operative Association com pleted last week a distribution of nearly a quarter of a million dollars to Its mera'bers with cotton in the seasonal pool. $15,000 was paid to members in Harnett County. Approximately three-fourths ot the cotton delivered to the Association last year wa-s placed In the optional pool and under the optional pool plan checks are continually going out to the members as they order their cotton sold. The average price paid the season al pool members after all expenses w-ere paid was above twenty cents per pound. iThis was a surprise to numbers of the members due to the fact that for approximately six months of the selling season, or most of the time from late Octoiber to May cotton was selling under twenty cents per pound. All this time of course warehouse - and interest charges wer ehavlng to be paid. Tlte high net average the Asso ciation was able to oibtain for its members was due, perhaps, more than anything else to the work of the Statistical Department of the American Cotton Growers E.xchange. This department was able to fore cast with remarkable accuracy the price trends of Cotton during almost all of the entire .season. It advised tl^ N. C. Cotton Growers A.ssocUtion of the approximate time It might look for rises and falls in the mar ket and how high and how low the fluctuations would be. With this In formation they were able to make their sales tq. the very best advant age. A prominent cotton firm and members of the N. Y. Cotton Ex change offered the Association $10,- 000 for this information the past season. As an indication of the satisfac tion with which this payment was re ceived by the membership, one mem ber, C. W. Flowers ot Angler, who delivers yearly around thirty bales, renewed his membership with the statement that the Asoclatlon could beat him selling. Mrs. W. D.' Graham was the guest of honor at a dinner given at tbe home of Mr. and Mrs. Otho Graham, Wednesday night, July 18, 1928.

MATTHEWS REUNION AT OLIVE BRANCH All children and relatives of McNeill and Sarali Matthews arc requested to meet In their annoal reunion at Olive Branch Church, near Kipling, on Sun- day, August 12th, 1928, at 11 a. m. Bring well flUed baskets and let us enjoy the day together. J. M. BYBD, Chairnum Arrangements Oom. Raleigh, July 2'5.—It is unusual for a farmer to get $4.46 a bushel for his corn in North -Carolina, but there Is a way to do it and fTom Mor row of Iredell County has learned the method. Grind it Into meal and teed the meal along with other home grown grains to .dairy cattle. “It takes good cows on a good pasture to pay such returns but the records kept by 'Mr. Morrow’s herd by the tester of the Iredell Cowtest ing Aasoclallon show * this to be a fact," says John A. Arey, dairy ex tension ?-peclallst at State College. ‘‘An individual record is /kept of ev ery cow in Mr. Morrow’s herd. Dur ing May, the eleven cows composing this herd, produced 311.3 pounds of butterfat which sold for 4-2 cents a pound and brought-in $130.75. The sWmmilik left on the farm after the cream was sold- had a feed value of $29.57. making the total Income amount to $r60.32.” - Mr. Arey states that these 11 cows were fed 2,269 pounds of a home grown grain mixture made by mix ing together i200 pounds of corn meal. 100 pounds of cottonseed meal and 100 -pounds of crushed oats, which was valued at $46 a ton or $62.19 for the amount fed. The an imals also consumed oat straw val ued at $6.80 aud were jgrazed on a grass and clover pasture for which a charge of $2 per head was ipade. Th etotal feed bill was thus $80.99, leaving a net Income of t$7'9.3i3. On this basis, states Mr. Arey, the cows paid $9.21 each for their pas ture. The cowe consumed 23.6 bu shels of corn in the form of meal and allowing all charges for the feed- dtuffs, the animals paid $4.46 a bu sh^ for the corn. This does not take into account the manure left on the place. Therefore, states (Mr. Arey, the man who has cows 'Oibove the aver age, a good pasture and will grow his grain and hay mixtures at home can maike money selling cream. Tbe dairy cow. In bis opinion, is one of the very best markets for the sur plus feedetuffs produced on the av erage farm. Mayor Halford requests Tbe Nev/s to state that all owners of automo biles must buy town license platet for their cars on or before Friday. July 27th, or suffer the conse quences. The Mayor states that he has In structed Chief of Police McKinney and Policeman Nipper to enforce the ordinance requiring the plates to be need on all locally owaed cars. The plates have been In tbe town office for some time, aud everybody has had ample lime to require them No further extension of time will be granted, says the Mayor. ■ I ifllllUl EDWARDS ORCHARDS Located 3 miles west of Lillington on Highway No. 60 liaiiiiaiHiaiBiiiBiiniiiiviiii lUIIHIIII llll■lllalll■lillall{allllalllll iiiiiaiiiiaiuii I imainiBiiiiaiiiiaiiiiaitiiaiiiia/iiiaiiui Professional Cards BIRTHDAY DINNER )i'he people in this community en joyed a nice birthday dinner at Mr. W.

Good Furniture Good Credit Terms Good Values Nearly all furniture looks good, in the beginning. But bad furniture shows it inferiority in service while ' really good furniture proves, its worth, by the same test of time. And so you will find prices that sound low but are really high Jbecause the furniture is low grade. Prices that seem high, on the other hand, may be honest prices for honest furniture. Bear in mind also that the credit privilege policy of a store is important. In our store we give the' credit custo'mer just as good a price as the cash customer. We deal fairly with all. A stock of good furniture and a square deal to everyone, is our motto. The more you trade here the better you will like this store. t Proctor-Barbour Companr FUQUAY SPRINGS, N. C.
