In a speech in the Senate a few day ago he tells of things that are happening and are going to happen if some of the bils introduced in Congress passes. Mr. Stanley says that Weddings are to be supervised by hygienic experts, and marital rights determined by some eugenic fool. "Babies are to be born by federal aid and suckled under federal super vision. "You can not milk a cow without a federal inspector at your heels. The factory, the mill, the counting house, the office, and the home liter ally swarm with a horde of petty and pestiferous representatives of this patrnalistic regime. "And the worst is yet to come for . . . bills are now pending to reg ulate, supervise, censor or control the public press, public utilities, the sale of securities, the mining of coal and minerals, the weaving of cloth, horse racing, football, baseball, mov ing pictures, Sunday amusements, everything, in fact, from the birth of the baby to the burial of the corpse and from the operation of a railroad to the setting of a hen. '"Under the terms of the bill to regulate horse racing by censoring the mails and the press, a lad in college in writing to his mother and stating the odds on a football game is liable to a fine of $5,000 ior impris onment in the penitentiary for five years." To Clean Cemetery. The membership of Rocky River Baptist hurch wil lmeet at the church next Friday, July 28th at 8 o'clock in the morning to clean off the cemetery If it should rain on Friday, then the gathering will take place on Saturday. The protracted meeting begins on next Sunday, July 30, with Rev Mr. Frazier in charge. most" weS you I C-mr at THfi BOTTOM i AM WOQK UP &UT W GIRLS CLUB IS ORGANIZED. Personal and Local Items From Our Neighbor Town. Bennett, July 24. Miss Bera Pur vis, who has been visiting relatives in Greensboro, has returned home. . Miss Sallie Moffitt, of Bennett, spent the past week with Miss Swan nie Jones. The young girls of this place, met at the home of Mrs. Denson Tuesday afternoon of last week and organized the Girls Club of Bennett. The follow ing officers were elected: President, Maxine Routh; Vice-President, Em ily Phillips; Secretary, Bertha Smith; After a short program of storv tell ing, refreshments were served. The following program was arranged for the next meeting Wnat I know about birds Gretclien Phillips. The trees I know Bertha Smith. A story for all Fern Hammer.

Brady and little dau ghter, Lucile and Inez are visiting relatives m Greensboro. A committee of three women Mrs. M. C. Yow, Mrs. M. M. Hammer, and Mrs. J. W. Beane, was appointed by the Missionary Society of the Chris tian church to solicit funds for the benefit of Mr. and Mrs. George E-s-tride to he;p them defray the hos pital and burial expense of their son, Melvin, who d;ed from injuries in an auto wreck recently, and in one day these good women took in one hundred and thirteen dollars. And they have not yet ceased their work. Melvin Estridge was highly esteem ed by all who knew him, for he was a young man oi exemplary habits. He gave every promise of splendid manhood. In reading he took to high class books and magazines, and un derstood what he read. He was artis tic in taste and consequently loved flowers and birds and gave them thoughtful study. Mrs. E. C. McKelvey, of Indianap olis, Ind., who has been spending sev eral weeks with Dr. and Mrs. Denson, returned to her home Jast week. Mr. J. W. Beane and Mr. Roe Gardner have taln positions in Car tha.g?, but will continue to live in Bennett. Mrs. Roe Smith spe the week end with her sister near Bear Creek. Mrs. J. H. Scott and Mrs. H. A. Denson went to Bonlee Sunday to call on Mrs. I. H, Dunlap, who is se riously sick. Mrs. B. C. Routh nad daughter, Clara. Mr. and Mrs. Hal Routh were week-end visitors in Bennett. Miss Lina Powers, of High Point, was in Bennett last week, Mrs. Nannie Brewn, of Mt. Vernon Springs, was in town last week. Rev. Mr. Lasater preached a fine sermon at the Banti -t church Sun day morning, using the automobile and its troubles as illustrative. To get some members started you had to push them; others had to be twisted to ignite the spirit of motion. Only a few, the Reverend gentleman said, had enough spiritual fluid in them to constitute "self-starters." There were too many cross circuits in our church es, too many unclean spark plugs, too many flat tires all contributing to slow down motion, and to stop the onward move. As long as you keep your equipment in tact and stay on the right road you'll have no punc tures or blow outs. It's when you de viate that you get into trouble. Miss Brona Carter, of Bonlee, Miss Reba McNari and Joncie Caswell, of Maxton, were in Bennett Saturday afternoon. FOX BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION. The writer attended one of the most enjoyable birthday dinners at the country home of Mr. John H Fox near Bear Creek on Sunday, July 16th, this being his 54th birthday. The crowd of people who gathered there was esh'mated at 200, large and small, showing .the high esteem in which Mr. Fox is held by friends and neighbors. , Some were from Sanford, South ern Pines, Goldston and some came from Siler City. The writer knows brother Fox to be a useful man in his community. He is always ready to help jri sickness or death, never too busy to stop and help when called up on. His friends had arranged this celebration secretly and was going to surprise him. About 9 a. m., people began to come in cars, buggies and wagons, much to his surprise and by noort the crowd had gathered. A'foi-ty foot table was arranged under the large oaks in front yard, then the la dies began to load it down with the very best of eatables. Brother T. D. Brooks made a very interesting talk, then .offered prayer, and the folks were invited to come up and eat and everybody did their part well. Presi dent Harding's favorite dish was well represented friend chicken. I never saw more fried chicken on any table before also baked chicken; roast beef, mutton, co'untry ham, sandwiches, va ried styles of pickles, custards, pies, large assortment of cakes. TViprp were seven baskets filled and sent to the sick and those in the com munity who could not attend. This shows the true spirit of that commu nity. They don't forget the sick and Everybody enjoyed the day and all went away wishing brother Fox to live to see many, many more birth days. JACK. Bonlee, N. C, July 17. GRADE CROSSINGS.
