AGREES WITH EVANGELIST HAM ' Denies Statement Attributed to the Raleigh Preacher. Editor Record:—Mr. Ham did not say those who danced and went in swimming pools were liars or enuichs. But he did say that if a man went to these modem dances we have today, and take a good looking woman in his arms and hug her up, as they do* an( * when it is all over if he said that nothing but clean, wholesome, and re ligious thoughts entered his mind while he was in this woman’s arms or her in his arms, “that he was a ; liar or a enuich one.” ! Now, these good men you know, who are married men and have fam ilies of their own, go to them and ask them if they would be willing for one of their daughters to go to one of these modern dances, that we have all over the country today, and be hugged up in some young man s arms or worse still in some married mans’ arms? . If he would permit this, then God pity him and I am sorry for his daughter, that she has not a real Christian father. Now there are a lot of good, moral men in this country today, and no doubt these men you refer to are some of them. I would like to know how any j Christian man could support or con i tribute to the sustenance of such dam | liable things as our modem dances and public swimming pools. These two things are ruining our young people faster than any other one thing today. Now, these “good men” as you term them, have never contribut ed to the statutory negligence of any woman. I wonder how many young men ancl young women they have been a stumbling block for, (as Paul says in Ist Cor. 8, 9-13?) and caused them not to be better men and women than they are. Os course they may not cause it directly, but indirectly. No doubt there are several who know the good men you refer to and have said or thought: “Well, Mr. A. does these things ,and he is a good man, so it must be alright for me to do the same thing.” Don’t you think it better for a real Christian to stay off the dance floor and out of the swimming pools and have some one say: “Mr. A. does NOT dance or go to the swimming pools, it must not be just right so I had better not do it either?” Or would you like to be in the place of the Judge up in Virginia who was about to sentence a young man for murdering one of his friends in a card game. The young man was ask ed if he had anything to say, he re plied: “Yes, your honor, your daughter is just as guilty of this murder as I , am for it was her who taught me : how to play cards and in your own parlor at that.” I say this in conclusion. Let your life be so lived that no one can point at you and say. “he did it and I thought it was alright..” But they can say I want to be like Mr. A. He is a good Christian man. In other words you can be like the fruits you bear. Lead someone to Christ in stead of to the Devil on your dance floor. YOUR BROTHER IN CHRIST. Raleigh, N C., March 29, 1924. (The foregoing letter is in reply to the views as expressed by one of our correspondents, and the writer above ! makes a reply to the Record. As to i the accuracy of the statement by the | preacher, we leave that to our cor respondent, but we must say that we have very little patience with the sensationalism of the modem evange list. There ’is no more harm t in good, wholesome exercise at a bathing pool, or on the dance floor than can be at tributed to other means of pleasure, except perhaps the “modern” dance, and these can be regulated by law. If it were not possible for men and women to associate together in a spirit of high regard for one another j then this world would be in one more j bad fix; we would be worse than the j beast of the field and the varmint of the forest; neither would a man be safe in embracing sister or mother, father or brother. There can be the same respect for womankind and the i same distinction with sex, if a man j has the love of God in his heart. “An i evil mind, evil thinketh.” We ground l our religion on the faith of Moses and the prophets, and not on the sensa tional red flag of some distorted mind, and our thoughts are never so j lascivious but they can easily be converted into the proper channel. —Editor Record.) criticizing the Newspapers. Criticizing the home newspaper is ! the favorite pastime of a large ma- i jority of the people. Like public officials, what it says , and what it does are constantly be- j fore the public, and its errors are easily detected. An individual may go through life making one mistake after another, and a few will know it, but let your newspaper err in even a small detail and the critics have a choice morsel to chew. Newspapers, though mechanical, are human, because they are con ceived by human mind and put to gether by human bands. They are as liable to error as any man or woman and their opportuni ties for making mistakes may be found in every line—in every word. A wrong street address, incorrect spelling of names, little inaccuracies may creep into the newspapers’ col umns, no matter how earnestly the editor and his assistants may strive to be accurate. All your home newspaper asks is that you be charitable. Make a few allowances for the difficulties that be set the newspaper publisher, and re member alwavs, that nothing hurts a 1 newspaper editor quite so much as to see his mistakes in print. He has no chance to cover them up The printed word can’t be erased. Don’t forget that newspaners are made bv human minds and human hands and to err is human. —— - r -3 The moth is the lightest eaten in the insect kingdom. We alwavs hpnr { that it eats holes.

Ashes to ashes, and dust to dust, If her Ford won’t go, then walk she must. One of our citizens marvels be cause such good care is taken to keep auto radiators from freezing, but a woman will go right out with practi cally- denuded ankles in the bitterest of breezes. This sentence is for the neighbors to correct: “He is such a good little ' thing,” said the fond mother, “and he very seldom cries at night.” “Here’s one place I won’t shine,” sighed the flapper as she powdered her nose. Moderns are careless; they’ll go out for a joy ride without even knowing the coroner’s phone number. j i It’s safer trying to see how many miles you can make to the gallon rather than how fast you can drive to the quart. ! lam not so deaf but what I hear all that is said about me, remarked a la dy the other day, who is hard of hear ! ing.

Early Saturday morning the body ; of Enoch Clark, was found lying be side a road in Hadley township by i Mr. Fred Thrift. Mr. Clark, it seems, had been on a visit to a neighbor’s Friday after j noon and on his return home it is i thought he had an attack of vertigo ! and fell from his mule, where he_lay all night in the rain. He was 74 years old and never had been married. He lived alone and was in verv poor circumstances. No inquest was held over the re mains as Coroner Brooks thought it was unnecessary. DWELLING HOUSE BURNED. The dwelling house of Mr. W. L. Cashion, who lives on route 1, Mon cure, some four miles south of that place, was burned to the ground one afternoon last week and nearly all of the contents were also lost. The fam ily is now living in a house near the scene of the fire. Mr. Cashion is the father of Miss Nellie Cashion, who is the stenog rapher at the Record office. — $ mm Nearly fifteen hundred negroes at tended boll weevil meetings recently held in Rowan county by the local agent, J.
