Foresi City Courier Published Every Thursday in the interest of Forest City and Ruther ford County. Entered at the Postoffice at Forest City, N. C., as second class matter. C. E. ALCOCK Ed. and Owner SUBSCRIPTION RATES Payable in Advance One year Six months Three months ADVERTISING RATES Display, per column inch Reading Notice, per line Classified Column ' THURSDAY, AUG. 6, 1925 THE NEWSPAPER GUIDE. The newspaper that carries a good line of advertisements is to the shop per what the time table is to the traveller and the published guide is to the tourist. Busy people will study these advertisements in the home or in the office as they do a time table, and before they start out shopping they have determined where they are going. The newcomer or the visitor in the city finds the advertising columns of a newspaper a reliable guide to follow, just as he finds the printed guide for tourists to points of inter est a matter of interest and time saving. In fact, the stores, the mills and the theaters are points of interest to all tourists, and the non-advertis er puts himself outside the pale of interest so far as strangers are con cerned. —Ex. WESTERN CAROLINA DEVELOPMENTS. Each day that North Carolina en joys her good roads adds to the opin ion that the millions put into them represented the wisest investment this state has ever made. We are cashing in on them each hour in the day and each day in the year. Even while the reader scans this newspaper there are thousands of tourists speeding over our highways, in the mountains, in central Caro lina and in the east. The fine highways have made it possible for out-of-state people to see many attractive parts of the state that were heretofore inaccessible. Never before in the history of the state has there been such an influx of tourists and visitors from all over the United States, and in hundreds upon hundreds of cases these visitors have been so much impressed with our beauties of scenery and excel lence of climate that they are mak ing large and small investments. Hundreds of them are buying home sites and building homes. Others are making investments of many kinds and sizes. An illustration of the fast develop ments under way, only a few days ago it was announced that a Florida capitalist had announced his inten tion to build a two-million dollar ho tel at Ilendersonville and also his in tention to erect a summer home in beautiful Laurel Park Estates. Al most every hour in the day out-of state visitors are buying homes in the different parts of the mountain sec tion Millions upon millions are being turned loose in tremendous real estate developments. At Tryon, at Chimney Rock, at Ilendersonville, at i Black Mountain, at Tuxedo, at Ashe-! vlile, .it Linville and Blowing Rock j and many other mountain sections I vn -t developments of resort and resi- \ dential property are under way and all of this will mean thousands upon ' thousands of added population to the state. It is an admitted fact that Florida and North Carolina are leading the | whole country today in fast expan- J sion I'nd unprecedented building.— ' Charlotte Observer. BABY CLINIC The Baby Clinic, sponsored by the Child Study Club, with Mrs. Hooker and Mrs. Shropshire, two registered ! nurses, in charge, will meet as usual j Friday afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30. 1 Quite a number of babies were j present on last Friday and it is hoped j that even a still greater number will [ be there this week. This meeting I will be especially interesting to moth-' ers with bottle-fed babies, as that will be the subject discussed and demonstrated. Mr. and Mrs. G. B.' Sanders and Mr. Joe Sanders, of Union, S. C.,' were guests of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Sanders first of the week. • * * Mrs. P. H. McDaniel entered the hospital at Rutherfordton last Thurs day where she is undergoing treat ment xoi. r.n infected foot. Writing in the Methodist Quarterly Review on "Why I Believe In The Bible as the Inspired Word of God," Dr. John L. Rice recalls the story of Goldsmith's discovery of Ezekiel. "He was soon deep in reading, and no one saw him at all that day; but that evening he burst into the weekly gathering of his circle at the King's Head, still clad in his careless morning costume, the book in his hand, his finger between the pages to keep the place, his honest face on fire with en thusiasm. To every one in turn he addressed himself with the greatest ardor, crying out, 'Why did I never hear of this writer before? He is a superb master, this Ezekiel —only listen to this passage! And this! And what nobility in this eighteenth chapter!' $1.50 SI.OO .50 "As he ran here and there, among those of Dr. Johnson's circle and others who chanced to be at the tavern that night, button-holing men of letters and of science, opening his book under the nose of a distinguished clergyman and reading aloud with gestures of astonished admiration, the great Dr. Johnson, observing him, asked a near-by friend: 'Pray, sir, *vhat so excites our good Goldy tonight?' Garrick overheard the question and, bursting into a fit of laughter, replied: 'Why, Dr. Johnson, at forty years of age Goldsmith has discovered Ezekiel'!" 30c 10c lc per word Many persons might have similar experiences all along through the Book if we were to take more time for reading. In the parable of the sower we are told that some seed "fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth" and "because it had no root, it withered away." What a pic ture of the superficiality of modern life! How few people read, and how very few do any genuine thinking. Their lives are consumed in the busy routine of business or pleasure, with frequent attendance upon the "movies" for recreation. There is "no depth of earth." Reading, of all the so-called indirect instruments of grace, is the very best means by which foundation can be laid for the development of that larger life which embraces something more than eating, drinking, sleeping and gossiping with one's neighbors. Familiarity with good books, if it does not lead directly to the salvation of the individual, invariably brings about a noble dissatisfaction with the cheap aims of human existence and furnishes insight into the deeper problems of the universe. In some instances, of course, wide reading produces the doubter or the cynic, but there is more hope even for the scoffer than for the moon-faced ignoramus. The scoffer at least grapples with a problem in which more often than not a genuine soul struggle is in progress. The superficial smiler—God bless him, he has no problems. How can a fossilized mind grow in grace and knowledge? Among all the books of the world, the Holy Scriptures furnish the most power for intellectual and spiritual attainment. Volumes would be re quired to furnish even a catalogue of the great human achievements thru out history which are directly traceable to the reading of the Word of God. And when it comes to the enlargement of individual life, nowhere is there any other force so potent as that furnished by the Bible. There are different ways of reading the Bible. To some persons the ability to memorize long passages or to turn with lightning-like rapidity to given verses indicates a profound knowledge of the Bible. It may or it may not. Usually it reveals a mechanical turn of mind that loses mean ings in a maze of words. Others approach the reading of the Bible with some preconceived notion about what it ought to teach. All passages are interpreted in the light of the favorite hypothesis. If the strain is too great, of course it is entirely permissible to use discrimination in the selec tion of the passage! This is a form of "higher criticism" practised most often by the highly uncritical. If one disregards the rules of logic, one can prove almost anything one wishes. The story is told of a man who read "And Judas Iscariot went out and hanged himself to a tree." Elsewhere he found the advice, "Go thou and do likewise." Therefore the Bible sanc tions suicide! The Bible has in it the message of life. The message unfolds itself to that man, woman or child who approaches it honestly and without too many preconceived notions.

"On the Stroke of Three," which ' ; will be remembered by thousands of ; motion picture fans as "The Man ' jl' rom Ashaluna," Henry Payson : Dowst's novel, published serially in j i 1 he Saturday Evening Post, comes to : the Movie Theatre Tuesday, Aug. 11, ! i where it enjoys its first public show | ing in this locality. With Madge ; Bellamy, Kenneth Harlan and Mary j Carr playing the feature roles, "On ' the Stroke of Three" proves a bril-' liant photodramatization of the j Dow st story, and Phillip Lonergan i has translated it to the screen with- i out losing any of the strength and J interest of the original. This, no j doubt, is in part due to the excellent j direction of Harmon Weight, who proved in his handling of the screen career of George Arliss that he is one of the best young directors in the motion picture field. Dorothy Dahm, Eddie Phillips, John Miljan, I Edward Davis and Robert Dudley are THE BOOK OF BOOKS (Rev. O. L. Simpson in Methodist News-Herald) THE FOREST CITY COURIER in the cast. Story of the play: On his return from the war, Judson Forrest found his mother suffering from serious burns on her hands and arms from the use of the oven. He invents a de vice which can be attached to any kind of oven and which pulls the tray out without anyone touching it. Jud is the owner of a thousand acres or more of canyon land which has no particular value as far as he knows. Not very far from Jud's home is the magnificent Caribou Lodge, home of the famous banker, Lafayette Jor j dan, who spends his vacation there ! with his daughters Mary and Emily. | Jordan is a man of great imagination and Mary is very talented with the j brush. One day Mary paints a pic : ture of the same canyon on which Jud s home is located and Jordan im ; mediately realizes from it the value ; of that canyon as a dam site. One day as Mary is going to a | friend's for the week-end, she falls i off a cliff while trying to put a bird : in its nest and Jud, who is on his j way io install his patent oven in a home, saves her when she ir, exhaust ed ant? not knowing who she is takes . her to his mother.

Facts about the making of "The Ten Commandments": After eight months of preparation, production was started in desert lo- I cales closely duplicates Israel's exo dus from Egypt and stay in the Sin -1 aitic Wilderness. I More than 2,500 people were em ! ployed in the Biblical scenes of the | picture. j Fifteen tons of modeling clay, 300 j tons of plaster, 550,000 feet of lum i ber, 25,000 pounds of nails, and 75 | miles of cable and wire were used ■ in building the immense sets. Sixteen miles of cloth were used •to make 3,000 costumes. Three tons ; of leather, madfe into 250 sets of j Egyptian chariot harness. Ten tons of hay were required to feed 900 horses, 200 burros, 50 cam els, 500 sheep and 1,000 cattle. The nationalities of the players included Arabians, Palestinians, Turks, Caucasians, Mesopotamians. Greeks, Roumanians and Moors— thirty nations represented in all. JACKIE COOGAN COMING TO MOVIE THEATER Little Jackie Coogan is to be with us again; this time in a story as dif ferent from "'Oliver Twist" as that masterpiece was different from "Peck's Bad Boy." It the title of "Daddy," which will be shown at the Movie Theater at an early date. "Daddy" is richer in acting op portunities than any previous Jackie Coogan vehicle. It was written for their boy by Mr. and Mrs. Coogan, who, better than any others, know their son's precocious genius and its almost limitless versatility. Never before has this little star possessed such a chance to reveal his powers of pathetic appeal and tragic fervor. In its cast "Daddy" is rendered particularly notable by the presence of Arthur Carewe, Cesare Garvini, Bert Woodruff and Anna Townsend. Their selection by Director E. Ma son Hopper can be classed as a stroke of genius, for there is no false note in their characterizations. And then there is Mildred.But you must see Mildred yourself, for to tell you of this friend of little Jackie would be to rob you of the joy of a big com edy surprise with which this charm ing story closes. Watch for date and don't miss see ing Jackie Coogan in "Daddy." ANNUAL MASONIC PICNIC TODAY Anniversary Outing To Be Held At Hazelhurst Farm.
