For Evil and Went After

of 14 and 17 Others Have

Preacher Continues His Cam
paign
Blockaders and bootleggers In the
Ingleside community seven miles
north of here, driven to desperation
by the relentless crusade waged
against them by a stalwart young feap
tist preacher, struck back Sunday by
burning down the Corinth Baptist
church of which the Rev. N. F. Britt
is pastor.
The fire has all the hallmarks of
incendiarism. No arrests have yet:
* "n made, but county officers, the
preacher, and the aroused
1" ars of his churchless congrega '
t.<r. r re working on three very defi-;
ni; ? !>es that are expected to re
sult . indictments. And in the
meant -e the preacher Is continuing
bis drive against the manufacture of
liquor.
Threats made to the preacher di-'
rected suspicion in the search for
the supposed incendiaries. An auto-1
mobile was seen standing near the I
church at an early hour Sunday morn
ing, which has been partially identi
fied. Blodhounds brought immediately i
to the scene picked up a trail that led
from the spot where the church was
fired to the spot where the car was
seen standing.
Fired From Outside
The fire .was first observed by Mrs.
Ed Collins at 2 o'clock Sunday morn
ing. She aroused her husband and
he went immediately to the church
reaching the scene before the " fire
had gained much headway. It was,
Mr. Collins declares, fired from the
rear and on the outside. All efforts
to save the structure were without
avail. Steps were taken immediately
to secure bloodhounds.
Suspicion points definitely tp f "o
young men of the community, both'
officers and the minister declare, but
they are not yet willing to identify
them more definitely. Both are be
lieved to be among the 31 citizens1
of the section whose names have been '
presented to the Franklin county
grand jury as a result of the preach-1
er's drive against blockading. Four
teen indictments have already been
returned, and four convictions so-!
cured. Seventeen other presentments1
will be acted upon by the grand Jury
in May. . j
Manor Traffic Grows
During the past few -years, the
manufacture of -liquor has grown to1
alarming proportions, with the lower i
element of the community generally
engaged in it. Conditions last sum-!
mer reached such a stage that the1
church people of the community de-'
termined that something must bo
done about it Particular stress was !
laid upon the condition in the revival ?
meetings that are held in most coun
try churches in late summer. The
Rev. Mr. Britt was particularly ear
nest in his endeavors.
Six weeks later the young preach
er took stock of the situation. Lit
tle implement had been made, al
" ln"mber of confessed
blockaders had professed religion
Drunkenness still prevailed, and at
times he was compelled to eject some
of the younger element from his
!?Urch "rTlces for """orderly con- l
ouct. He determined to try an
other plan for ridding the commu
nity of liquor. He laid his plans be- I
fore severe1 of the leading members .
of his qhurch, and they approved <
them, t i ^
Among the converts at the August1!
- meeting were two young fellows
Bennet Faulkner and John Parrlsh'
The latter appeared to be thoroughly I
familiar with the blockading industry. (
and willingly joined the preacher and I
Faulkner In their campaign to find i
the Illicit stills, destroy .them and pre- 1
sent the evidence to the grand iurv ?
Scour the Woods for Stills J
For four months the preacher and i
the two young converts scoured the I
woods at night. Many nighU they I
lay in the brush within a few feet of <
a still and watched the operators at 3
work. They were aMe to Identify the i
men, and by overhearing their talk <
pick up cluea to other stills. The pre. o i
er kept a note book la which ha set
down all he heard and saw. Onoe they I
were discovered and shot at by the'e
blockaders. t
When th# grand Jury assembled In <
January the preacher presented his i
evidence directly to Solicitor W. r t
Evans, and the grand Jury returned
Indictments against 14 men. Those in

not yet been returned. The Holdens I
are members of a prominent family
and are brothers-in-law to the preach

When the cases were brought to
trial John Parrish turned upon the
preacher. To use his own words, he
"betrayed" him. That Is he refused!
totestify against the accused. It is I
understood that his name. Is among'
the number which has been pre-1
sented to the grand jury. Bennett
Faulkner stood by the preacher and
testified against all of the accused >
when they were brought to trial.
Intense feeling has developed In!
the community, Liquor has been.
driven out of it almost completely. I
Threats began to be relayed to the
preacher, against his own safety and
against the t safety of the church
property. He has openly defied tho
threats and has challenged them to
make them good. He Is thoroughly
convinced that the burning of the

SIXTY-FIVE FARM
ERS PRESENT
AT FRANKLINTON
COMMUNITY MEETING
MONDAY THE 16TH
Cole Savage, County Agent,
Discussed Fertilisers; One
Man Travels 20 Miles to At
tend Meeting; Many Figures
Given
By C. R. Bohanan
Sixty five farmers attended the
weekly meeting of the Franklinton
Agricultural night school Tuesday
night February 17 to hear county ag
ent Cole Savagiy discuss the fertilizer
question
* There are three special fertilizing
elements all of which are essential
to successful plant growth, nitrogen,
acid, and potash. Our supply1 of acid
comes from acid phosphate and pot
ash from either murate or sulphate
of potash.
Nitrogen can be obtained from a,
number of sources and Mr. Savage
discussed some of the nitrogen carrirs
and gave results of fertilizer tests j
which showed the value ai\d availabil
ity of .the different carriers as a fey.'
tilizer. , (
Chief among these Were nitrate of
soda. According to figures taken from
the Edgecombe test farm, the yields;
?f cotton and corn when fertilized
with nitrate of soda were far greater 1
than when any other source of nitro-!
gen was used.
Mr. Savage also discussed the fer-:
tilizer formula and by results of ex
periments showed it was an unwise I
thing to do, to buy a fertilizer because
jt was an 8-5-3 or a ld-3-3 or any.
other formula. The question of how
much of the needed elements is not
as important as, what are these ele
ineiits. . " ?' ' ??*?!
Figures taken from State College
I test plots showed that a fertilizer con
taining'*8 per cent acid phosphate, 5
per cenWnitrogen taken from - nitrate
'of soda and 3 per cent potash from
I sulphate of potash, all applied at
plaining time produced 1430 pounds
of cotton per acre and 32 per cent
of the entire crop was open on Sep- \
tember 10th at the first picking.
Another plot with the same amount
and the same percentage an 8-5-3
where the nitrogen was taken from
cotton seed meal produced 1160 pounds
and 18 per cent was open on Septem
ber 10th.
Another plot was fertilized with the
same quantity, an 8-5-3, the nitrogen
taken from nitrate of soda, one half
applied at planting time and the other
half just after chopping. The yield in
this case was 1510 pounds with 33 per
cent open on September 10th.
Mr. Savage mentioned briefly thu
destruction work of the boll weeyil |
in all the cotton rtates and warned
us that we are in its path and the
time to start making preparations is
now. Proper fertilizing will put on
bolls early in the season before the
weevil begins his work, and is one
way of combatting this pest.
A great number of questions were
asked at different times during the
lecture which showed that the subject
being discussed was one of vital in-1
terest to all those present.
The fertilizer question is one of our
greatest problems, and the time is at
hand when we must use the frrm thatj
is the mos: readily available it we
would grow cotton under boll weevil j
eruditions.

| The tolowing Ira papo* written by
(Elizabeth Glasgow on "why girls
j should participate in athletics."
! Athletic training is a pleasure that
, is enjoyed by everyone w ho engages j
lore, boys are allowed i
this enjoyment, there is no shadow
of a reason why girls should not be
allowed this pleasure.
! Some people seem to fear the dang- '
ers attendant upon the athletic train- 1
i ing for girls. There is no more dang- I
er In the training for girls than for
the boys. The insurance companies I
show by statistics that more people
'are killed while walking than in any !
other way. If we consider the dang- j
;ers because of the injuries to people, '
we might as well discontinue walk i
ing.
It is sometimes argued that athlet
I ics cause pupils to lose interest in
their studies. This is' not, however,
the case. The pupil feels a good deal
more like studying after she has been
refreshed by a wholesome course of
athletics^, than she does when she is '
almost stupified fTom sitting constant '
ly in a school room that tr dose and
overheated. Besides the schools can '
and should p/ovide sufficient time
for the girls to engage in athletics j
apart from the time thev are suppos
ed to study. Athletics by invigorating
their bodies, will also increase their
mental vigor to such an extent, that,
they will be even more interested in 1
their studies than they would other
wise be.
Some suppose that parents of girls
would be worried because of their
being out at night in order to take
part in basket ball games. This worry
on the part of the parents would be
unnecessary. If they think there would I
be danger to the girls, let them re- I
member that if the girls are given |
athletic training, they will be better
able to protect themselves In cases ;
of danger or emergency.
Athletics are just as much a part |
of a girls education as of a boy's. At!
least, they should be. A girl who has
had athletic training is thereby strong
er, and can. better overcome disease 1
and throw off disease than one who,'
has not been given athletics. Athlet
ics produce, a strong -body. A strong 1
body produces a strosg mind, and a I
strong mind produces a strong char- '
scter. With these It is not only pos. '
sible, but highly probable that anv <
girl will succeed In life. Without these <
success is difficult, if not Impossible. <
It Is ^therefore extremely Important
that every girl should be given ath- <
letie training in school. <
It has been said that "the handAhat 1
locks the cradle rule* the world.'Mf 1
this Is teue, it is very important that 1
?ur women should be as strong as '
,K>sslble Woman, even In her. youth, 1
sxerts and Influence on those trlth 1
whom she comes in contact to a mark- 1
.! degree. It is easy to be brave in J
?it; ? "o-tence of a weak one, we are '
nciitied to feel more or less cowardly. ?
It is highly essential, on this account,
tlso, that our womanhood be strong. C
We have shown In what ways ath- ?
etlcs will help to bring about this *
tondltion, and so we think, yss, even t<
tnow that athletics are among the *
?ery best things we can give our girls. I
>t us see to It. then, that girls have 1
raining in this ulrectlon, and pro- d
luce thereby the strong womanhood I
it which we stand so much In need. C
