Rev. Gilbert T. Rowe, pastor
of Tryon StreetMethodist church
in Charlotte, announced last Sun
day night that beginning with
yesterday ladies would be re
quested to remove their hats at
all services. Glory to Mr. Rowe!
He is one of the most promising
young preachers in Southern
Methodism and has a brain that
always clips right through non
essential things, so we are not at
all surprised that he should have
been the one to start this alto
gether sensible movement.
Here's hoping that the day is
soon coming when it will be the
rule and not the rare exception,
as it is now. for a man to be able
to sit anywhere in a church and
see the preacher.
His
Mr. Johnson Asks That
Name be Eliminated.
To the Editor:
I am advised that my name
has been handed to the election
managers as a candidate to be
voted on in tomorrow's primary
for town commissioner. While I
appreciate the honor and confi
dence suggested in thus having
my name mentioned for this re
sponsible position, I could not,
under the circumstances, accept
the nomination at this time. I
am not afraid of being over
whelmed with votes, but Jest
some other candidate be injured
by the scattering votes that
might be cast for me I ask that
my name be eliminated from the
contest.
Very respectfully,
Thomas L. Johnson.

Speeches for Important Occa
sions. To the Editor of The Robesonian:
An never before the people of
our country have realized that
the source of our wealth is first
of all the soil; and hew to use
both field and forest to the best
advantage is now the problem.
The farmers of our county
have realized that the solution of
this problem must come through
the schools. We who are inter
ested in education certainly
know how to appreciate the
great interest that the farmers
of Robeson county are taking in
our public schools. The Farm
ers' Educational and Co-Opera-tive
Union has secured speakers
to make addresses on agricultu
ral education for several of our
schools that have already closed,
