'rnV,; " r!n, thJ mlDd8 of Mr- Oeo L
Cooke. Col. ?. L. McGhee, Mr A. H
Vann, end several of their associates
whose interest In the welfare ot the
People of their community, Interest
in agriculture, and a Just pride in the
progresslveness of their communi
ty always moves them to action.
On this particular occasion their effort
were well crowned with success In
a most creditable and pleasingly ar
?ranged display of farm products, live
stock, ladies fancy work, industry and
wares and merchandise. The exhrblt
though small in size, but large for its
community, would dp credit to a (air
designed for state proportions. ft
was excellent, and gave evidence of
masterful farm knov/lege and fine
Judgment on the part of the operat
ors.
At 3:30 in the afternoon the large
crowd who had been present ail thru
the day enjoyed a most interesting
and helpful speech by Mr. J. B. Cot
ner, of the State College, Raleigh. He
took for his theme the essentials of
life and divided it into eight parts
which were food, clothing, shelter,
health, education, religion, recrea
tion and social contact. Under the
first division he discussed the balanc
ed ration showing its value and point
ed to Domestic Science as the means to
produce it Our clothing is an index
to our character he said and we should
be well dressed, not necessarily ex
pensive. but neat and well selected.
He paid a beautiful tribute to home
and pointed to the necessity of mak
ing it a place of influence for that
which is best in life, not only by the
example of the parents but by its sug
gestiveness in decorations and arrange
ments. But irlthout health we could
neither enjoy home or life. Education
Is a big business and is necessary for
the proper appreciation of our sur
roundings. The vocational training Is
a most important part. Religion, he
said, is the greatest factor In our life
and Is a most Important part that
should not be overlooked. The human
body Is like a machine and needs a
rest. We need a fuller social contact
with our neighbors. We cannot live a
full and complete life with all eight
of these essentials. He referred to
farming as a big business and quoted
figures to show that it was one of tthe
biggest businesses in the country
Referring to Prank In county he said
the lftrmers did i ot make enough
corn to feed the live stock thereon,
and that they mad< less than a ton
of hay to the farm, while our receipts
for money crops wai; eight million dol
jars. He spoke nicely of the educa
tional advanUnges that Prankllnton
has, which he considered as good or

also male announcements for the re

New York, Nov. 5. ? The full meas
ure of the Republican victory at the
polls could not yet be taken tonight,
but the returns continued to show
that President Coolidge would have at
least 100 votes to spare in the Elec
toral College, and the largest popular
plurality in history .
The showing made by John W.
Davis remained unchanged through
out today and although Senator Ia
Follette began t? creep up a little In
one or two Western states, there was
no certainty tonight that he would
receive the electoral vote of any M{ate
group except that of Wisconsin.
No Working Majority
On the face of the day's I'ongres
sional returns, the Republican:; made
certain of a paper majority, at least,
in both Senate and House, but doubt
remained whether the margin would
