G. Trogdon, of Randleman route 2, had Moore county officers be stirring themselves last week, partly for the purpose of helping to restore the porker to its rightful owner, and partly in an endeavor to apprehend the man alleged to have stolen it. The officers after an investigation, learned that Maggie Johnson, a col ored woman employed at the Vass ho tel, had recently bought a hog from a white man identified as Truitt Nixon, for which she paid the sum of $7. The Randolph county woman from whom the pig had been stolen, upon viewing the animal bought by Mag gie Johnson, declared that it was her pig, demanding its return. But the Johnson woman, however, balked at the idea of relinquishing possession of the pig without receiv ing in return the $7 which she was out as its purchase price. Claim and delivery proceedings were instituted in order to keep everything according to Hoyle, but when, armed with these, the officers next called upon the Vass woman, they were dumfounded to learn that the pig had been stolen from her.

H. Morris For District Lieutenant Governor With Don Alexander in charge of the program and Dr. Cothran Smith as principal speaker, the local Kiwan is Club held their regular meeting Tuesday evening. Dr. Smith’s topic was the present Ethiopian-Italian war and he gave the true conditions of this struggle as an illustration of the present needs of humanity. He voiced the opinion that this war would be won by the supplies and re inforcements behind the advancements. A beautiful word picture was drawn illustrating the progress and advance ments being made throughout the world and emphasized the increasing need for these advancements to be reinforced by proper spiritual and mo ral progress for only through these in fluences can these advancements be made pemanently helpful. Youth advancement and the increas ed opportunities and responsibilities before them were explained and, “What will these advancements ac complish,” said the speaker, “if not inspired and reinforced by proper spiritual and moral training and in fluences.” The youth of today has many advantages and opportunities not enjoyed in the past and which way will this influence modem civilization. Back by the proper spiritual and mo ral influences it will be a tremendous force for good. Great business advances and cor responding responsibilities are before us. The function of Kiwanis and oth er civic clubs is to help build better and greater cooperation among each other and to wield helpful influences for good. Proper spiritual and moral stamina are necessary for these busi ness advancements to be wholesome. The club voted unanimously to in struct the delegates to the district convention to be held this week to nominate and work for the election of President E. H. Morris for Lieu tenant Governor for this district. A good delegation has agreed to attend this convention in Charleston this week. J. J.
