THE ROANOKE CHOWAN TIMES. THURSDAY, JULY 1, 1926 THE WAKE FOREST SCHOOL FOK PREACHERS Was held this year June 7-18, at Meredith College, Raleigh. It was changed from Wake Forest this year on account of a conflict in time with the Wake Forest Summer School. The new Mere dith is an ideal location and the buildings are modern and up to date in every respect. President Brewer and his co workers did everything possible for the con venience of those present and all were made happy. More than 280 preachers and their wives attended this school. Quite a number dropped in for a day and were not registered. Practically every part of North Carolina was represented and several brethren from Virginia and some from South Carolina. The preachers present were re presentative of North Carolina Baptist pulpits from the first churches to the remote country churches. The faculty was one of the best to be secured anywhere. Dr. B. W. Spillman of Kinston opened the school with a mes sage on “The Charm of Exposi tary Preaching.” Dr. A. T. Robertson of Louisville, Ky., one of the foremost New Testament Greek Scholars in the world to day, spoke twice daily. In the morning his subject was. The Churches of the New Testament. In the evening he lectured on the Gospel of John. Dr. L. E. M. Freeman of Meredith College lectured on the book of “The Acts of the Apostles” each day. Dr. Lynch of Wake Forest Col lege taught Homiletics or sermon building. Dr. W. R. Cullom of Wake Forest College lectured on Past orial Problems and the Pastor’s Reading. Dr. Hipps of China lectured on World Problems as Viewed from the standpoint of the Mis sionaries. Dr. John Lowe of China gave some inspirational addresses on his work in China. Dr. A. J. Smith, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Golds boro, led the vesper service each evening, using as his subject Christ the Soul Winner, based on the fourth chapter of John. A course in Missions was given to the pastor’s wives by Mrs. Philips of Nashville, N. C. Prof. Lynch and wife, Buie’s Creek, had charge of the music. He gave a brief lecture each day making suggestions to the Past ors as to how to improve their music. Two of the outstanding feat ures of the school were lectures on Evangelism by Rev. Herman T, Stevens of High Point. N. C., and formerly Supt. of Evangelism under the State Mission Board; and lectures on Church Efficiency by Dr. F, A. Agor of the North ern Baptist Convention and per haps the best authority on this subject in America. The fellowship of this school was well worth the entire cost which was only $1.00 per day for board and lodging for each per son. This school is sponsored jointly by the State Mission Board and The Educational Board. It’s value to N. C, Baptists can npt be estimated. Every Baptist preacher in N. C. ought to plan to attend the Wake Forest School for Preachers next year. Dr. W. R. Cullom served as Dean and contributed much to the success of the school. J. Louis Price, Pendleton, N. C. Halifax County Not Among Them Under a head, “County Sys tems Irresponsible,” there ap peared a story in Sunday’s News and Observer regarding the busi ness management of the affairs of county governments within the State, but we want to em phatically state that Halifax County does not rank among the great majority which the writer picturizes. Beginning with the Board of County Commissioners, which is the executive body of the County, it is composed of two presidents of the larger banks in the county, one large merchant and bank director, one dirt farmer and one large manufacturer; and as a body represents the very best interests of the county, it’s Register of Deeds is a successful business mac; it’s Road Board is composed of the chairman, who is the business manager of a large manufacturing concern, and its other members are men successful in their particular line of business. The School Board is composed of a banker, a law yer and a large farmer, and its Clerk of Court is recognized as one of the best in the State, as well as one ranking well as among those of the longest ser vice. It has a Treasurer, who since his inception into office has made a financial report of the county’s affairs each month to the Board of Commissioners as well as a financial statement to each particular board each month. It has a County Auditor, who consolidates the statements . of the various cfiicers and boards each month, a report being made on the 25th of each month, and such consolidated reports are laid before the Board of Commis sioners each month. It has a Sheriff who is diligent in the enforcement of the law, and J No Worms in a Healthy Child ^ All children troubled with Worms have an un* healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a rule, there is more or less stomach disturbance. GROVE’S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regularly for two or three weeks will enrich the blood, im prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60c per bottle. who, thru his deputies in the various townships, collects the taxes of thje County and reports monthly to the Treasurer. It is true, that like a copora- tion, the County of Halifax has no directing head, yet its Board of Commissioners are at all times fully conversant with the affairs of each and every board and with the expenditures of each board. Once a year the com missioners meet with the school and road boards and make a budget for the year and levy the taxes to meet the requirements, and the treasurer requires each board to hold itself within its income. There might be improvements but as to the character of the members of the various boards and that of the other i fficers who administer the affiirs of the county, they represent the highest type of cit'zenslup aid are conscientious in exacting ihe most efficient and economical administration of public affairs, A recent audit has been made of all departments of the county and the most modern system of accounting has been installed. Other counties may be lacking in efficiency and failing in real public service, but Halifax Coun ty cannot be counted among them.—The Commonwealth. A TOINIO Urove’s Tasteless chill Tonic lestores Energy and Vitality by Purifying and Enriching the Blood. When you feel its strengthening, invigorating effect, see how it brings color to the cheeks and how it improves the appetite, you will then appreciate its true tonic value. Grove’s Tasteless chill Tonic is simply Iron and Quinine suspended in syrup. So pleasant even children like it. The blood needs QUININE to Purify it and IRON to Enrich it.

Not a Question of Distance There may be some people who feel that "any bank will do"—and for them, of course, the nearest at hand settles the matter. Discriminating depositors, however, prefer to weigh values; to choose their banking connection on its particular merits, for things about it which especially appeal to them. To these people our banking by mail service is in valuable because it enables them to bank here without considering the matter of distance. THE SCOTLAND NECK BANK Scotland Neck, N. C.
