Baptists met ih the Asheboro Baptist
Church for the purpose of celebrating
the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
work of the church, which at the or
ganization numbered only seven, mem
bers, Jaut now has grown to two hun
dred and fifty. The gifts of the first
year were less than two hundred dol
lars, but now a budget calls for five
thousand dollars annually, besides
monthly gifts to the Orphanage and
collection, at times, of a building
fund Rooking forward to the erection
of a new building to meet the, grow
ing demands of the congregation, es
pecially of the Sunday School.
> At the morning hour Dr. John Arch
McMillan, who became pastor of the
chureji in 1910 and served for several
years, and who is now Alumni Secre
tary qf Wake Forest College, preached
a powerful sermon inspiring the peo
ple to go on with the great work
which they are now doing. At the
close of the sermon the pastor, Dr.
O. G. Tillman, on behalf of the Com
mitted of Arrangements, asked the
members to give to the Building F^ind
a minimum of one dollar a year for
each year of their membership, and as
a result over three hundred dollars
was raised, in spite of the fact that
no previous notice of the offering had
been given and that an offering for
the Orphanage had just been made
which amounted to more than seventy
dollars.
in the aitemoon a history or tne
Church was read by Mrs. C. G. Fra
sier in which many things of interest
were pointed out. At the conclusion
of the History, Mr. and Mrs. G. W.
Berry, the only remaining charter
members of the church, were intro
duced and the congregation stood, for
a moment in honor of them. TWjl*
Mrs. May Hdll and Mrs. Blanche
Brooks were introduced as the first
ones to be baptized into membership
of the church, and next Mrs. C. G.
Frazier was recognized as the first
to be baptized in the present building.

sisting of J. C. Pearce, chairman,
H. C. Luther, L. R. Barker, W. A.
Gregory, C. G. Frazier, E. C. Gamer,
and E. S. Millsaps, Jr., were intro
duced. After this a moment of si
lence was observed in memory of the
members who had departed this life,
and then the pastor led in a short
prayer. Rev. Herman T. Stevens, pas
tor of the Green Street Baptist
Church, High Point, was introduced
and spoke very fittingly of the oc
casion, and also urged the people on
to greater things.
The pastor spoke at the evening
hour on the subject, “We would see
Jesus”, in which he pointed out that
the Day’s observance had pointed out
what men and women had done, and
what they could do, for the Master,
He then urged them to keep on and
pointed out the ways in which we may
see Jesus today. •

Institute Suit Against
R. C. Rankin For $l|,000
Robert C. Rankin, Greensboro resi
dent, is defendant in a damage suit
for $12,000 instituted in Randolph Su
perior Court last week. Damages are
asked by Battle Routh Dameron, by

personal injuries as a result of an
automobile accident on the highway
between Julian and Greensboro on
August 29th.
According to the complaint sent
here for service on the defendant,
Bettie Ruth Damenran with her fath
er, mother and sister, was riding in
an automobile that drew up behind
that of Robert C. Rankin. The Dam
eron car’s horn was soundfed and
the Rankin machine pulled off to the
side of the road, apparently to per
mit the other to pass. As the car
in which the girt was riding at
tempted to pass, the other suddenly
and without warning, pulled back
into the road and a collision resulted.
*It is alleged that the girl receiv
ed serious and severe injuries as a
result of the reckless, careless and
negligent driving of the defendant
who is further alleged to have been
intoxicated at the time of the crash.
These factors, it is claimed, were
solely the cause of the accident, ren
dering the defendant liable for the
the girl sustained. ";, ,

Poison For Rats
Barium Carbonate Properly
Used Will Kill Them.
One of the best poisons rats is
barium carbonate. Herewith are in
structions as to its use to rid the farm
of these pests:
I. Kind of Bait: Three or more
kinds of bait should be used. Each
must be mixed separately with bar
ium carbonate. One kind of bait from
each of the following classes should
be used.
(a) Fish meat or other animal sub
stance, such as Hamburg steak, sau
sage, canned salmon, eggs or oysters.
(b) Fresh fruit or vegetable food;
such as cantaloupe, tomatoes, green
com, baked sweet potatoes, bananas,
etc.
(c) Miscellaneous foods, milk or
cheese, peanut butter, bread, cake,
cereals (raw or cooked).
II. How to Mix: The barium car
bonate must be thoroughly mixed with
the bait, so that the rats cannot eat
the smallest portion of the bait with
out getting some of the barium car
bonate. In the case of such substances
as Hamburg Steak, cheese, etc., use
ohe part of barium carbonate to 4
parts of bait. Mix thoroughly with a
spoon.
(a) Substances which cannot be
thoroughly mixed with the barium
carbonate as just described (for ex
ample, cantaloupes, tomatoes, etc.)
should be cut into small pieces and
thoroughly covered with barium car
bonate, and then worked with a knife.
III. How to Set Poison: The three
kinds of bait, prepared as above
should be divided into small portions,
about a teaspoonful each and placed
freely about premises, alternating
baits 1, 2, 3. It should be set at inter
vals, not over ten or fifteen feet. Do
Not Mix the Different Kind of Bait
with Each Other.
IV. General Instruction: The morn
ing after baiting, look for dead rats
and remove them. Take up baits. Ex
amine these to see which have at
tracted most rats. If any kind of bait
has not been touched, use a different
bait instead of this. Fresh bait must
be used each night.

chickens, clocks, moons, monkeys and
old-fashioned girls. The delightful
variety of dances ranging all the way
from the old-fashioned Minuet to
such modern dances as the Charleston
and Lindy Hop.

Hear Dr,
At Regular LuncheonK -st Fri

Health Examlg
Tells Of State Work
The feature of the regular weekly
Rotary luncheon last Friday in the
dining hall of the Asheboro Methodist
Protestant church was the address by
Dr. W. L. Lambert, who spoke inter
estingly of health examinations and
the progress that had been made in
the State in the prevention of disease.
Dr. Lambert pointed out the advant
ages and the necessity for periodic
health examination, showing that it
was easier to prevent disease and
more economical than to cure it.
The doctor told of what the State
has been doing for several years past
in providing antitoxins to wipe out
preventable diseases and of the work
that is being done in this field at
present. Examination of school chil
dren was praised by Dr. Lambert, who
stressed the importance of this phase
of health work. He also told of the
work that was being done by certain
life insurance companies in the way of
periodic health examinations for their
policy holders.
Improvements At Leward Mills
The Leward cotton mills at
Worthville began operation Tuesday
morning after having been standing
almost a week while repairs were be
ing made on the water wheel and a
modem centrifugal water pump in
stalled. The installation of this new
pump gives the mills first class fire
protection and reduces the fire insur
ance rate materially.
PREPARE THE RADIATOR FOR
THE WINTER WEATHER
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 28.—The care
ful driver will protect the radiator of
his car against winter weather;, the
man not so careful will let nature
teach him a costly lesson.
“Protecting the radiator will pro
tect the motor against freezes and
the anti-freezing mixtures are easily
obtained and used," says A. T. Hol
man, agricultural engineer at State
College. “Among the various mix
tures, that of alcohol and glycerine is
most commonly used. In fact, makers
of automobiles recommend this com
bination. It is desirable to clean the
radiator before filling with the anti
freezing solution.”
Mr. Holman advises draining out
all the old water and flushing with a
hose allowing the water to run in
while the engine is running. If the
radiator is clogged or dirty, it may be
cleaned by filling with a solution made
by using one and one-half cups of
washing soda to two gallons of water.
Fill the radiator with this solution and
run the motor for 15 minutes. Then
drain off and wash with clean water
until the soda water is all removed.
Flush again while the motor is run
ning.
The radiator is now ready to be fill
ed with the anti-freezing solution. For
the usual four gallon radiator, a solu-*
tion made of 3 1-4 quarts of alcohol,
3 1-4 quarts of glycerine and 9 1-2
quarts of water will protect the motor
and radiator at zero weather. If glyc
erine is not readily obtainable, a so
lution of four parts of alcohol to six
parts of water will protect at freez
ing point. For temperatures ranging
between 20 degrees and 32 degrees
Fahrenheit a twenty percent solution
of alcohol and water made by using
two parts of alcohol to eight parts of
water will be found sufficient to pro
tect the car.

Ten Commandments
J. E. Owens, veteran justice of the
peace in Raleigh, and keen student of
human nature, has compiled “Ten
Commandments of Safety,” compli
ance with which would undoubtedly
reduce the number of automobile acci
dents. Here are the commandments:
“1. Look out for children. You
can never tell what theyll do, and
you’re always.jp wrong if you hit
one.
“2. Don’t pass a standing trolley
car. Some day the jury may call it
manslaughter.
"3; Don’t speed around corners, for
it’s a straight route to the hospital.
“4. Drive on the right side of the
road. It’s the only safe ’side.
“5. The fact that you had the
right of way won’t bring anybody
back to life—least of all yourself.
Use discretion.
6. Do not stop short without giving
warning. The other fellow is no
