Every clerk wno works in a store, ; every mechanic in his factory, every . farmer in his field, every house- j ■tfife in her home, each one has some \ effect on the future of that com-1 munity. If the salesman is actively push-! ing for new patronage and to please j old customers, he help the city's' retail business to grow. If the me- J ehanic is efficient, he assists his employer to sell more goods. If the , farmer is diligent and scientific, he adds to the resources of the neigh-! oorhood. If the housewife improves the home place, she promotes the city's reputation for culture and finish. We all have to do our share, to secure the development of our ;o\tn. —Exchange. THE PRESIDENT ON THE PRESS President Coolidge, in a recent address at the dedication of the Na tional Press Club's new magnificent Washington home, gave it as his opinion that the American press has become invaluable to business, but has lost much of its power in molding public opinion. The press "appears to have lost much of its power as a director of public thought," declared the Presi dent, and since he made the decla ration newspapers throughout the country have been debating the ques tion. We do not share the alarm evident ly felt by the nation's leader. We think the small town press, at least, has always been, is, and always will be a moral, social and political guide to its readers as well as an ever-in creasing force for the betterment of business. The Power of The Press as a form ative instrument in directing the public can not, shall not die. Often we hear persons lament the good old days, when Dana and Greeley and others, with their so-called per sonal journalism, had a tremendous influence. Today there are new Da nas, new Greeleys, new Bennetts— but they have not about them the halo of romance which always hovers about the past and makes it seem somehow more glorious, more color ful than the present. When the hands of the dial have turned often enough, and this pres ent generation becomes a past and fondly remembered time, persons will point to the editors of today, as now they point to the enditors of yesterday, and declare loudly: "In those days newspapers were news papers. They had real influence." A CORRECTION We wish to make a correction of an article appearing in this paper some time ago, stating that Mr. H. B. Dogtrett was in the race for Sher iff four years ago and two years ago. It should have read: "H. B. Doggett was in the race four years ago, and ran third in the primary, with seven others in the race." Mr. and Mrs. A. W. Webber, Misses Eliza Fullwood and Era James, of Lincolnton, spent Sunday here with Mrs. A. W. Falvey. SOUTHERN RAILWAY CORN CUP WON BY SOUTH CAROLINA BOY ~~ 1 . : : ' & !■■■ ; V ' > " ' ' / « * 4£.

This handsome trophy was offered first in lft2s and was won by Willie Pat Roland, a corn club boy of New berry County. South Carolina. In 1926, it was won by J. A. Patterson of Row an County, North Carolina, a young man just out of the State Agricultural College. The names of the three win ners have been engraved on the cup as a lasting testimonial of their success. The cup will remain in (he posses sion of young Dan IJickley until the time for the award for 1 !>2B arrives. The cup will be offered again this year under the same conditions as in the past. In order to com it for the cup, a grower must quality by winning a prize at one of certain designated state and district fairs for' 'he best \\hibit of ten ears of corn. The contest is open to i»i; corn growers in Virginia North Carol;:?:., South Carolina, (Jeorgia, Alabama, Kentucky., Tennessee and Mississippi, without regard to age. DR. AYERS PREACHES ON CAPITAL PUNISHMENT On last Sunday evening Dr. W. A. Ayers preached a very interesting sermon on "Capital Punishment." His sermon was handled under three discussions, namely, the organization of society, state and then God being over the ruler of the state. He showed very plainly from teaching of the Bible the necessity of capital punishment for the protection of civ ligation and society. Criminals must be deterred, and only death will influence them, love of life being so f trong. An example was given of liuth Gray-Snyder, who made all ar rangements with a noted physician who was to get possession of her body immediately after electrocution, -» ih it her body might be brought back to life. He showed the state and the offi cers were not guilty of taking life, but that they were only acting as the instrument of God. Laws were made for the protection of society and state and the penalty of some of these laws was death, and under the Mosiac law the penalty for sev eral offenses were death. The case of Remus, who killed his wife and es caped punishment was given as a case which has a bad influence; Hick man being cited as an example. On next Sunday night Dr. Ayers will preach on "What an Officer of the Law Should Be." $25 DOLLAR REWARD OFFER ED—The following - articles were stolen at the High School building 1 Friday .night, February 17: One box of Peter Paul candy, one box of Baby Ruths, three boxes of plain Hersheys, two boxes of Mr. Goodbar, and two boxes of Chocolate Sprangle Cakes. The lock of the door was broken. A reward of $25 will be offered to the person who will give evidence which will lead to the ar rest and conviction of the guilty party. About two weeks ago the of fice of the Principal of the High School was broken into, but no ar ticles were missing. J. W. EAKES. 20-lt THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1928 The exhibits which qualify by win ■ ning prizes at the stale fairs will be brought to the offiee of the General Agricultural .Vgent of the Southern in .
