Mr. Brlgham presented a program every number of which evinced careful selection. First he gave a group of live old ? English songs, climaxing In the Old English Hunting Song, "John Peel." This was followed by a reading, "Robin Hood and Allen-a-Dale." Nothing on the program was given with such depths of feeling and delicacy of In terpretation as the exquisite lyric of Robert Service, "Comfort." The selections from Wagner and Massenet were followed by a group of recitations varying In range from the boietrous fun of Holme's "Ballad of the Oysterman," thru the tender In. terpretatlon of Dunbar's, "The Lord Had a Job for Me" to the dramatle narration of Alice Carey's "Ony Swan." The program closed with a group of songs, each of which was given with the sincere and finished effort that characterised Mr. Brig ham's entire performance. It is sel-' dom a program Is presented, not one number -of which oan be characteris ed as cheap, or at le*st "easy"; but the Louisburg Glee Club and Its di rector can certainly be congratulated on having furnished the public with a recital the tone of which was that of unquestioned merit?even tho' the. public was conspicuous by Its ab sence 1 Student Volunteer Meeting u .

Track Badly Damaged. ?bout 10:30 o'clock Wednesday "morning the Loulsburg Train on Its morning trip from Franklinton to Loulsburg was derailed about three miles west ot Loulsburg, In front of the Wiley Holmes home place. For the past ten or fifteen years the train has been backed Into Loulsburg ow ing to the turn tables having been al lowed to go to pieces. It was on one of these backing trips that the tender left the tj-ack. This caused the track to be torn up and let the locomotive to the ground. Luckily no one was hurt as the train was not moving so fast but that it was stopped before It turned over. The track was torn up for quite a distance. The wrecking crew from Raleigh was soon on the Job and work was begun to clear the track which was done very" quickly. The exact cause of the trouble has not been determined. Some guessed it to be rotten cross ties causing the track to spread, others were of the opinion it was trouble with the loco motive?it having just left the shops that morning. Still others think run ning the train backwards had as much to do with it as anything else. All trains Wednesday were annull ed and the mall and express were brought over from Frankllntoo. by truck. , COLE SAVAGE SPEAKS To Kiwanians Friday Night? Good Number Present? Splendid Program.

JORDON PREACHING STRONG - SERMONS Rev. A. J. Parker Lead Song Service Monday Night?Ex cellent Music and Large Crowd*. Monday evening, at - seven-thirty o'clock a special revival service be gan, a service for which for weeks the members of the M. E. Church, South, and friends from other chur ches, have been praying earnestly and faithfully. Nor have they neglected to perfect, as far as possible, the or ganisation of all forces which might In any way further the success of the effort. Under the efficient leadership of the pastor, Mr. Dowd. A full choir sustained the song lead er, Rev. A. J. Parker, who in the a,b? sence of his son, Alban Parker, the regular song-evangelist of the revival series, conducted the music at the first service. The key note of conse cration for the work, seemed to have been sounded in the first song select ed. After the song service, the minister. Rev. G. Ray Jordon was Introduced in a few fitting words by Mr. Down; and from the first quiet introductory words, leading to the announcement of a twin text, Mark 3:22; Acts 26:24, the large audience felt the power of an earnest spirit. His theme was that men should not be surplsed or dis pleased, that God's cause should arouse the same enthusiasm which finds expression for other human ex periences: that men should not be accused of being mad because their hearts are strangely warmed by the presence of God. The heart search ing words were followed by a short prayer, and song; and all came away with a deep sense of thankfulness that God has sent to Loulsburg a man who loves Him and His cause. Interest is increasing as the revival goes on and the strong and forceful sermons are much appreciated and carry much conviction.

Frissell) Cooperative marketing and the To bacco Growers Cooperative Associa tion in particular, were given strong support in the legislature of North Carolina when the House Committee on Agriculture from that body, voted 23 to 11 last Friday against the Bras well Bill to permit members ot coop erative marketing associations to withdraw by filing notice. A farm woman, in old fashioned bonnet and black dress?Mrs. M. O. Winstead, of Nash County?made the most eloquent plea of the day tor co operative marketing, when she asked tbe author of the hill why he had in treduced it. without the consent of a majority ot association members in. her county. Declaring that she might not know much about law or the ways of legislators, Mrs. Winstead said: "But I know that I signed a contract and I have too much honor and too much self respect to get out of it" - Representative H. G. Connor, of Wilson County, who has been an ac tive figure In litigation against tha tobacco association, argued for forty minutes in an attempt to prove that it was constitutional for the legisla ture to authorize members of the as sociation in North Carolina to with draw from their contract upon re quest. . In reply to Representative Connor. George Roes, head of the Division of Markets in North Carolina, declared that the bill, if passed, would ly injure forty cooperative tions which the farmers of the state had formed in order to improve their condition by orderly marketing. ^Deliveries of tobacco to the sseocta tion have now brought its total re ceipts of this season to more than 100 million pounds, ? according to the lat est report. Within three years of operation the association has received more than 440 million pounds of tobacco. Dur ing this period the tobacco farmers of North Carolina have received ac cording to government statistics, an average price of 34.7 oenta aa com pared to an average price of 15.1 cents during the four years lag the World War. At M I the operation ot the smoclatlan has the price of tobacco in North Carolina averaged as low as daring any year prior to the war days. ihqm nmarnii There will be a Negro Minstrel at Hickory Rock School bnlMtng on Fri day night.
