BRICK HAVEN NEWS
Miss Ruth Kennedy of Winston-
Salem spent the week-end here with
her parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. C.
Kennedy.
Mr. J. C. Seawell and Miss Cecil
Seawell accompanied by their sister,
Mrs. J. F. Calfee of Raleigh, were
week-end guests of relatives of Car
thage. .
Mrs. O. C. Kennedy spent several
days last week with her parents,
Rev. and Mrs. C. L. Dowell of Fort
ville.
Messrs. Z. B. Utley and C. H.
Marks were among the Chathamites
who were called to Raleigh last week
in connection with the notorious
flogging case.
Torn Thompson and Sam Overby
both of whom have been quite ill
recently, are now able to be out.
Little Jewell Overby has also been
on the sick list, having been out of
school the past week. She expects
to resume her studies today.
Mrs. A. L. Lawrence, Mr. J. H.
Lawrence and Miss Anne Utley were
among the visitors to Raleigh the
past week.
Mrs. C. H. Marks charmingly en
tertained the members of the Junior
C. E. on last Tuesday evening. The
youngsters proved an appreciative
group.. Mrs. Kennedy the idol of
the small youthfuls and in whom
they recognize a kindred spirit—w*as
the honor guest of the occasion.
Equally delightful and enjoyable
was the old-fashioned candy party—
on Friday evening for the Interme
diate C. E. also given at the home
of Mrs. Marks. Games and contests
kept things lively—then came the
most fu n of all —pulling the candy—
and the of course “the proof of
the pudding is in the eating.” It
was truly a merry occasion and the
guests left at a late hour. The suc
cess of this monthly C. E. social was
due to the work of the social com
mittee comprised of Miss Pauline
Brown, Mrs. Claire Harrington and
Mrs. P. H. Overby, and the sincere
and spontaneous hospitality of Mr.
and Mrs. Marks.
Mr. Sam Utley of Mt. Gilead,
spent Sunday here with his mother,
Mrs. J. W. Utley.
FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR GULF
Mr. W. W. Devereux, of Gulf,
died in a Sanford hospital Wednes
day of last week as a result of bid
ing run oA’er by an automobile dri3|
ven by Robert Osborne. The
dent took place about a mile below*
Gull Tuesday night. Devereux waved
the car down, but Osborne, fearing
it was a hold-up, speeded up his
car and tried to pass around the man.
The latter however, blinded or other
wise confused, kept in front of the
car and w*as run over. Osborne
drove on up to Gulf, got Dr. Pal
mer, and returned to the scene of
the accident. Mr. Devereux was still
living, but taken to the hospital he
passed away the next day. Two oth
er motorists related that a man fill
ing the description of Devereux tride
to stop them earlier in the night.
At this writing no reason has been
heard for the dead man's being on
the road. His wife is the postmis
tress at Gulf, and as they lived in
the village it would seem unreason
able for Mr. Devereux to remain on
ly a short mile or two from home
awaiting a ride.
A * coroner’s inquest was held in
Sanford and Osborne was exonerat
ed.
MR. PAGE EXPECTS SOME FUN.
(Monroe Journal)
Through the Sandhill Journal w*e
learn that Mr. Henry Page, a man
who has cut considerable figure in
the public life bf the State, expects
to see some fun in case Governor
Smith is nominated at Houston. We
confess to havig labored somewhat
of a similar feeling. If Smith is
nominated we will have a campaign
with some life in it. If a colorless
candidate is nominated we will have
a fiat campaig nand the Republicans
will take the election with the usual
majority. She Sandhill Journal re
ports Mr. Page as follows:
A few days ago there was a story
in one of the state dailies to the ef
fect that Mr. Henry Page was in
favor of Governor A1 Smith as the
Democratic nominee for president.
We were talking to Mr. Page
about this and he gave us his views
concerning Governor Smith and what
he though of the coming electio.
“I’m in favor of Smith as the Dem
ocratic nominee for several reasons,”
stated Mr. Page. “I think he is a
strong man and the best of the Dem
ocrats. However, aside from his
ability, I want to see him nominated
because of the fun I would have out
of it. I want to see what all these
people who are so bitter against him
now will do when it comes time to
vote. Their voices will be raised in
opposition just a little less each day
the election approaches. Finally
when they go to the polls they will
have a mental struggle with their
denominational bigotry and their po
litical prejudice with the result that
the political prejudice will overcome
and they will vote a stragiht ticket.
Smith will carry the South just like
any other Democrat would but there
is no telling what athe doubtful
states, or ones like Pennsylvania and
Massachusetts will do. I think he
would have a very good chance of
being elected. Whatever happens I
am going to have a lot of fun out
of the election if he is nominated.”
THREE FIRES THIS YEAR
Mr. J. W. Oldham, of the Goldston
section, has been burned out three
times since Christmas. He is a ten
ant.' Each fire has started on the
roof or in the loft, indicating that he
was not unduly careless. The peo
ple of his community had given him
some household goods after the sec
ond fire. Last Saturday the thrid
house went up in a blaze. It be
longed to Mr. N. F. Barber, of Gold
ston. That time a bed ar.d a few
chairs were saved. Mr. Oldham
would seem to have the record for
burnings.

How To Learn
I A school teacher in one of Dick
ens’ stories has a pupil study the
spelling of botany and then go out
and work in the garden.
Thus the spelling is impressed up
i on his mind.
He Avasn’t much of a school teach
er but his idea was sound.
The best way to learn is to learn
from doing.
All knowledge is connected with
life. The way to learn a language
is to connect eveiy word with some
thing you actually do or see. In
other words, language is to be con
nected with life and not with litera
ture.
There was a meeting held the oth
er day in one of our cities to dis
cuss the enabling of students to
earn while learning. Representa
tives of forty-two States of the
Union and one from Canada were
present. Nicholas Ricciardi, Presi
dent of the National Association of
Vocational Education, said:
“Under tne present system, stu
dents are taught various vocations,
from watchmaking to hair dressing,
during their high school terms. When
they graduate from high school they
are permitted to hold a position. In
junior college they are permitted to
work at remunerative employment
during the mornings and attend
classes during the afternoon. They
can continue their education on thru

This plap is already actually car
ried out at Antioch, a small college
toAvn in Ohio, Avhere the business
men cooperate Avith the college and
the student works part of the time
and studies part of the time. Thus
Avhile at Princeton the average year
ly outlay for a son is estimated at
$1,500, while at Antioch ihe average
fieshman needs only S4OO besides
his earnings.
The Vocational aims of students
include agriculture, architecture,
art, business, engineering, medicine,
economics, law, etc.
The average weekly wage while
pursuing these courses is $22 ip the (
freshman year and $35 in the senior
year. They complete the Antioch
course in five years.
Thus the student has already
learned the most important thing
in an education, that is, how to take
care of himself.
When a man works his Avay thru
college he appreciates what educa
tion he gets, just as a horse is heal
thy because he has to walk after
every mouthful he eats.
Business men in every community
ought to cooperate with the schools
in assisting boys and girls to get a
practical education.

musical
instruments
in
one !
The violin you hear on your
Orthophonic Yictrola is just as
true to tone as the one you hear
at the concert. The trumpet,
the saxophone, the tenor banjo,
the whole dance orchestra, is
just as real as those you dance
to at the cabaret. And that most
difficult instrument to repro
duce, the piano, is so convinc- i
ing you can almost see the glis- -
tening keyboard before yon.
The first three records yon
hear will prove the amazing
versatility of the Orthophonic
Victrola. Come in and let us
demonstrate it. There’s no obli
gation. Ask about our conve
nient plan which allows you to
enjoy this great instrument in
your own home as you pay for
it. Make it some time this week!
