Modern Woodmen Hold Interesting Meet Big Class Adoption Held Lait Thurs day Night Many Attended. North Albemarle Camp No. 17126, Modern Woodmen of America, held a class adoption at their hall in North Albemarle last Thursday night. Visi tors from Kings Mountain, Shelby, Troy, Mt Pleasant, Charlotte and other nearby towns were there. The degree team from Charlotte Camp No. 14192 was present and put on the degree work. That ferocious goat "Dynamite" was in Albemarle for his first time. This Billy is na tional famed, having faced over 8,000 fresh meats during the past ten years. The Modern Woodmen over the entire jurisdiction know of this goat, many, however, had never had the distinction of seeing him in ac tion. He performed some over 30 huskies Thursday night, giving the neighbors in these parts their first opportunity of seeing the wonderful loage goat. Prof. Hildreth from Georgia and national deputy from Colorado were also in attendance. SERMON ON EVOLUTION PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH j Next Sunday evening at the local Presbyterian church, Rev. J. J. Doug lass, pastor of First Presbyterian ! church at Wadesboro, will preach a special sermon on evolution. ' j Since delivery of a sermon on this I suDject in h.s own church, Mr. Doug lass has received numbers of calls from other places to preach his ser mon on evolution, and. it is regarded by competent judges as an ' unan swerable presentation on the subject. Albemarle considers itself fortu ne in having Mr. Douglass here on Sunday evening at 7:45, and the church cordially invites everyone to attend. Some attended last Sunday under a misunderstanding', and this an nouncement is to set right the hour and date. J. B. SWAIN '""el Director Field Serric. N. C. ,.- Cotton Association. tl'- - :.Vifv PRESIDENT COOLIDGE. Coolidge Is Believer In Co-operatives We want co-operation preached as a principle, not a panacea. It will not perform miracles. It will not accomplish the impossible. But it is a sound, (tried, demonstrated prin ciple that must be introduced at the basis of our agricultural establish ment. It demands that the individual shall surrender some part of his com plete independence for his own and for the general good. It means that a certain authority must be delegated, and when dele gated it must be supported. There must be faith, good will, patience. It must be understood that no very spectacular achievements will be wrought. The co-operative association, which establishes grades and standards en courages the good and eliminates the poor varieties, increases the efficiency of the production, provides a unified product adapted to its market, or ganizes its distribution, creates con fidence in its products and its meth ods that kind of an association is doing the best that co-operation can do. It will serve both the seller and the buyer. Under wise leader ship it will succeed. More than any thing else we need a generation of farmers trained to co-operation; and to get that we need able, courageous, determined leadership, and, most of all, leadership that will not desert the farmer, but will stay by him." - MRS. PEARL AUSBAND DIED IN CHARLOTTE OF PNEUMONIA Former Student Albemarle College for Girls and Wife of For mer Townsman. Mr. and Mrs. D. L.

(Special.) There has been no greater cvi- j dence of progress in the we stern part of Stanly county than was exhibited last week in Oakboro's splendid high j school commencement. Good pro grams and tremendous crowds were j in evidence throughout the com- j i menccment which came to a grand and impressive close on Friday eve- j , ning, Way 1 ! The Oakboro school has enjoyed ! one of the best year's in its history under the principals-hip of Professor j McRee, ably assisted by Professor ! Colcard, Mrs. J. N. Lilly and others. The total school enrollment for the j year has been approximately 450, 'with a little more than 100 pupils enrolled in the high school. On Friday night of last week there were possibly more than a thousand people in attendance at the Oakboro commencement, and the graduating exercises were interesting1 and im pressive. A very promising class of 17 young men and women received their diplomas and many of them are now planning entering college. The class roll follows: Charles Lewis Barnhardt, Mary Rozena Bowers, Edna Stella Curlee, Marcus Albert Drye, Roy Edgar Drye, Ethel Maude Dunn, Mary Jewel Hartsell, Mary Angeline Hinson, Ruben Furman James, Carrie Lee Lambert, Augustus Parker, Lester E. Smith, Maurice Elmer Smith, Glenn Roosevelt Smith, Gatha Mae Smith, and Odessa Rowena Whitley. Attractive diplomas with the seal of the county board of education, and signed by the local board were de livered to each of these by Professor McRee. Afterwards certificates of seventh grade graduates were de livered by Superintendent Reap to one of the largest seventh grade classes in the county whose names are here given: Connie Austin, Allie Austin, Paul Barnhardt, Veda Barbee, Grace Bur ns, Grover Burgess, Vernon Curlee, Bertha Carriker, Cletus Carriker, Ola Coble, Jennie Lee Coble, Baylus Drye, Maire Drye, Horace Eudy, Newell Furr, Colen Furr, Estelle Foreman, Davis Hahn, Ruth Hahn, Florence Hatley, Lizzie Hatley, Gillie Belle Huneycutt, Ora Hill, Clyde Hinson, Margaret Hartsell, Emma Kennedy, Maude Little, Mintie Little, Alfred Ledbetter, Dewell Morgan, Kermot Smith, Es?ic Tucker, Pr.lmer Tucker, Jennie Turner, Carrie Thomas, Ernest Taylor, Thaddeus Whitley, Odell Whitley, and Cleg? Whitley. We hope to see this entire class graduate from high school in 1929. Not only has the educational de velopment and growth of Oakboro made great progress as was evidenc ed by this commencement, but the agricultural development has kept pace, for the agricultural department of the high school, under the direc tion of Professor Colvard has been a very vital force in the agricultural progress and prosperity that can be seen on every hand in that section of the county. Many of the high school boys in their project work un der Professor Colvard have not only shown the great possibilities in that section, but have also shown splendid profits from their projects. Through these vital sources N the Oakboro school has played a very prominent part in the great progress in this section of western Stanly county. True to this spirit of growth and progress the committee of the Oak boro and surrounding schools have had visions of greater things and are now planning extending the boundaries and the blessings of this splendid school to cover practically the entire township, south of the highway. This will offer the same afivantages to the districts of Oak- i boro, Dry, Jones Hill, Barbee, and Smith that the Oakboro school now enjoys. It is doubtful if there is a section anywhere in North Carolina where the school serves the . people more efficiently and more con veniently than the Oakboro school serves the good people of that com munity. Those people a few years ago struck upon the brilliant and practical idea of making the school for directly into the needs of all the people it served, by working not only for agricultural development and agricultural education in the arranging a summer term opening high school, but at the same time by about the 20th of July each year and i closing about the 10th of September, thus enabling the boys and girls to attend school while the crops were laid by and working on the farms to help gather the crop from about the 10th of September until the first of November, then opening again and finishing the eight months' term. State Superintendent Allen says he believes this is the solution to educa tional problems in all farming com munities. Such a plan as this is not only very practical, but is also ef ficient for the same teachers can carry the work along throughout the year and the pupils will really lose nothing in efficiency or classroom advancement during the year. By such a plan any community in Stanly county can follow Oakboro's splendid example very profitably. When the future pages of Stanly county's history are unfolded to us, we shall see the Oakboro community occupying a very prominent place in Stanly's true greatness and sections Dr. Splude Presides at Asheville Meeting Is President Chiropractors Association of State. North Carolina Chiropractors' as- j soriation is in session at Battery Park ! hotel, Ashevilie. Dr. T. C. Spliide, of ' Alben;ar!e, is president of the associa tion, and he will call the gathering to order thhis morning at 9:110 o'clock,' beginning a session of three days. Dr. Miller, partner of Dr. Splude, is a'so in attendance. The program is rep'ete with social diversion, trips, and there is a good smattering of technical subjects set for discussion. Dr. A. B. Hemler, dean of the Palmer School of Chiros at Davon-! port, Iowa, is listed for two topics. ! Drs. Splude and Miller have re-: cently equipped a building of their! own here in Albemarle for the treat-1 ment and care of their patients. It is perhaps the most modern interior in its equipment of the kind to be found in the state. Mrs. Charles W. Hatley Dies Suddenly; Stroke i The sad death of Mrs. Mary-Louise Hatley, in West Albemarle, occurred last Friday night about 11 o'clock. Mrs. -Hatley had eaten supper as usual, did some light work in the ! garden, and except for a slight head ache was in her usual health. She went into the house, and soon sent word to her husband to come to her at once. She had lost use of her arm, and her lips felt dead to her. Mr. Hatley called in a physician at once, but his wife was unconscious within a few minutes, and died some three hours afterwards. She was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeff Hatley, aged 35 years. She Was a member of the Methodist church at Salem, and her remains were interred in the cemetery there on Sunday afternoon at 2:30, in the presence of a very large congrega tion, most of whom were friends who knew her and loved her in life. Rev. H. L. Powell conducted the services, assisted by Rev. J. L. Trollinger. She is survived by her husband, Mr. Charles W. Hatley, and an only daughter, Miss Edna, aged 12 years. The sympathy of many friends go out to the bereaved ones. TRAVIS J. COGGIN DEAD. Mr. Travis J. Coggin, who had been feeble for many months and had lin gered in ill health, passed out quietly on Saturday, May 2d. Aged 70 years on May 12 last. 1 He was twice married, first to Miss ' Sirona Reeves. To this union were born seven children Mesdames J. B. Carter and G. C. Ritchie, of Albe marle; Mrs. R. V. Newsom, of New some; Mrs. R. L. Calloway, New Lon don; Mrs. C. L. Smith, Macon, Ga.; Neason H. Coggin, Kannapolis. Mrs. Minnie Coley died about a year ago. His second marriage was to Mrs. Julia Teeter, to whom were born Mrs. Hal Smith, Newton; Travis Coggin, Macon, Ga. ; Price Coggin, Gastonia; Jamie, Woodrow, Ruth, and Marie Coggin, of Albemarle. Mr. Coggin was a native of Mont gomery county. He came to Albe marle about 27 years ago, during which time he plied his trade as har ness maker and leather repair work, and as merchant. He was a good mixer, had a jovial disposition, and won friends. Like others, Mr. Cog gin was not always on the mountain top, but the main tenor of his life was toward the good, and it was largely through his efforts that the first mill church was erected in Albe marle. Because of his activities, and earnest co-operation with the then pastor, Rev. N. R. Richardson, the latter was here at the burial and assisted in the ceremonies. He made a very touching talk. Friends contributed to the burial arrangements, and Mr. Coggin was honored at the grave as he was sus tained in life by loving ministrations, j Funeral services were conducted j from First Street Methodist church by his pastor, Rev. R. A. Swaringen, Sunday afternoon. Tall bearers: J. B. Carter, R. . Newsom, R. L. Calloway, G. C. Ritchie, C. L. Smith, Hal Smith, who were sons-in-law of the deceased. The following were honorary pall bearers: J. S. Smith, Sr., N. J. Pennington, T. M. Denning, Jack Cooper, Carl Tay lor, A. P. Moose. Flower bearers: Ada Snuggs, Mrs. R. G. Mabry, Miss Dona Moose, Miss Elizabeth Brown, Mrs. Lizzie Slack, Miss Odessa Morgan, Miss Mabel Pen nington, Mrs. R. R. Ingram, Mrs. T. M. Denning, Mrs. Ross Babb.

Oakboro, May 4. Mrs. Mary Ken nedy died Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock after a lingering illness, and was buried at Big Lick Monday. The deceased was the widow of the late W. D. Kennedy and was a good wo- i man, a member of the Baptist church, j Her funeral was held by her pastor, j Rev. F. W. Fry. She leaves three (laughters and two sons besides a host of other friends to mourn her departure. The children are as follows: Mesdames J. W. Coble, Ben Hathcock and Silas Austin in whose home she died;! Messrs. Willie and Caesar Kennedy. It has fallen our lot to have a death to report in each issue, much I to our regret and therefore it is j enough to make the people in our i community stop and think. We know not what the future may bring forth, so let us live right and then we can die right as did Mrs. Kennedy who has left an influence for good. Our profound sympathy goes out to the bereaved. Miss Cleopatra Beachum, who at tended school here, has returned to her home in Anson county. Her little nephew, Edwin Beachum, accom panied her home to spend awhile. Also, Carrie Thomas has gone to Pee Dee to spend awhile with her sister, Mrs. A. R. Tucker. Mr. W. I. Mills, of Charlotte, spent awhile Sunday in the home of his father, Mr. Alfred Mills, of this place. Quite a number of our people at tended the Primitive Baptist associa tion at Howard's Chapel and report some real good preaching. Miss Cora Coble gave Dr. and Mrs. Love a pleasant call Sunday after noon. Mr. and Mrs. Love, Miss Carmine Lee and Mr. and Mrs. Cauble made a business trip to Palmerville Satur day. Miss lone Shuping, of Norwood, spent part of last week with her mother at this place. Mr. Arthur Ledbetter and family spent Saturday in the Shuping home. Mr. Arthur Rogers, of Albemarle, made his usual week-end visit to homefolks here. Mr. B. M. Rogers and family spent Sunday in Albemarle. Mr. Simp. Cox and family visited in the home of Mr. F. B. Nichols i Sunday. Mr. Lee Mauldin and family, of Norwood, spent Sunday with Mrs. G. C. Lee. The depot here caught on fire this morning at 8 o'clock and was com- pletely destroyed. The fire origin- ated from the stove by pouring gaso line instead of kerosene to start a fire. Mr. Vixen Thomas, the traffic agent, made the mistake. He thought he was using kerosene. Everything was done possible to save the build ing but the explosion of the stove caused a can of gasoline to explode and the fire was so sudden that noth ing could be done. The farmers are very busy planting their crops. Miss Annie Smith spent the week end with Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Hatley. Miss Grace Tucker, of Mt. Pleas ant spent the week-end with Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Mclntyre of this place. Mr. Albert Hatley and daughter, Miss Vera Hatley spent Saturday aft ernoon in Albemarle visiting relatives and friends. Mr. J. C. Poole, of Wadeville, made his usual call to see Miss Vada Hatley Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Arie Burris and sis ter, Miss Auta, visited Mr. and Mrs. Wade Burris Sunday. Miss Vera Hatley spent Sunday with Misses Gatha, and Annie Smith. MOCK WEDDING. Last Friday evening between the hours of 8 and 11 the Young People's Missionarv society of Central Metho- dist church enjoyed a uelighttul so- cial in the home of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Reap. On arrival, the entertain ing "Golds" were all tagged with badges of gilt paper to distinguish them from the entertained "Greens," who were similarly marked with green leaves. The affair marked the end of a contest for new members between the rival clans, and the vic tors were entertained by the losers. The "Gold" committee had planned enough new and novel games to have kept them busy most of the night, but only a comparative few of these could be played for lack of time. Chief in point of interest, perhaps, was the mock wedding, in which all present bore some part. First, the bridesmaids and groomsmen carefully dressed their respective principals. The blushing bride, Miss Mary Leona Talbert, was charming in a dress made of newspapers with a long paper train that swept the floor. Steve Davis, the groom, was similarly clad in paper garments, thus im provised; while the officiating minis ter, George Watts, was dignified and impressive in his paper suit. At the beginning of the ceremony Mrs. Reap sang touchingly and appropriately "The Fight Is On." A large number of other lively games were played. Another item of interest was the talk by Miss Mary Lilly Snuggs , on the recent missionary society confer ence in Charlotte, at which she was a delegate. Nor did anyone fail to enjoy the bountiful refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cake and salted peanuts. Depot . '' " - V ? X , A 'ft, fl ff - t bMMMMMMaHMIiMlUIUdKliattt i WILLIAM JARD1NE Secretary of Agriculture. Jardine Strongly for Co-operation Will Make Farming "Depend ably Profitable," Says New Secretary. William M. Jardine, the new secre tary of agriculture, is a strong be liever in co-operative marketing, he says in an interview published in a recent issue of the magazine, "The Nation's Business." Self-help, through co-operative marketing, if applied in the right way, will make farming in America "dependably profitable," he says in the interview, and will accomplish things that cannot be -done by legis lation. "The farmer, the actual producer, is entitled to a larger proportion of the consumer's dollar than he now gets," Secretary Jardine says. "What is needed is to diminish the spread .between the price received by the farmer'and that paid by the consum er. This can be accomplished mainly through co-operative effort. "The farmer, heretofore, has al ways sold on a buyer's market. He has had to do so, because he has not had organization. He has not been in a position to bargain. What he needs to do is to sell his products on a seller's market. He can do this only through co-operative organiza tion. Must Get Together. "There are 6,500,000 individual farmers in the United States. It is futile for them to attempt selling in dividually and expect to exert any control over tlr markets. They must pct toiretber. Where they have done so, with trie right methods and under competent leadership, thev have been successful, and they will be more successful in the future. "There have been failures, and these have had wider publicitv than the successes. Some of the failures have been due simply to getting away to bad starts. Some have had poor management. It is one thing to know how to run a retail grocery, and another thing to know how to manage a chain of such stores. Like wise, a man who can run a farm successfully is not necessarily com petent to manage a federation of farmers for selling purposes. Will Stabilize Markets. "Co-operation among farmers, properly carried out, will accom plish precisely what farming most needs. It will iron out the peaks and vallevs in the agricultural market. It will go far toward securing a constant market at a constant price, giving to agriculture definite per manence in a business wav. "If applied in the right way, co oncrntion can make of American farmers a big, voluntarily unified, permanent and dependable profitable business, in a way that no paternal istic legislation could nossibly do. The government can aid in develop ing co-operation, in providing a vol- untary clearing house tor co-opera- tive organizations. It can, in other the farmer to words, siinnlv help help himself." CRIES FOR A LIVING. Harry Long, Michigan farmer, who sheds tears for a living, says grind ing horseradish at the rate of 5.000 bushe's a year has a peculiar effect on the eyes. In a month he sheds more tears than any woman ever shed in a lifetime, yet his eyes are unusually strong. "Tears seem to be good for the eyes," says Long. "None of us wear glasses, and the friend of mine who taught me the business cried over his horseradish machine more than 40 years. He must have shed a hogshead full of tears, yet to the day of his death never knew what it was to wear glasses." Long entered the horse radish business with his brother less than two years ago, and sells a quar ter of a million bottles of the relish annuallv at a good profit. If spe cialty farming pays, it usually pays well. Truth of It. Roth "I hear Sam Heath wrecked his auto down the Mill road last night. What was the cause of the accident?" Graham "Chickens." Roth B'gosh there should be a law against letting chickens run in the road." Graham "These chickens were in the car." Surplus Farm Prod ucts Sold Itoad Side Good Roads Knable Farmers tc Sell Much Stuff in Limit ed A read. With the building of good roads a new form of selling perishable products has been introduced in some section. "Roadside Markets" dis pose of surplus farm products within a limited atea. 'I he Rural Xew York er refers to some examples as fol lows: The best example of a roadside market is one a few miles east of Cleveland. This is a co-operative en terprise. Farmers supplying thi market, the writer is informed, art charged about 10 per cent for selline, . Other places along the road between Cleveland and Buffalo and elsewhert the writer has observed roadside markets selling for nearby farmers and charging commission. The fine feature of this plan is the products from several farms may be sold, while the time of but one of two sales people is employed, whereas it each farm attempted to market its products, the line would be limited, and it would require one member from each family to give constant at tention to the selling end. Several farmers have declared that since their roadside stands represent ed no great investment, they would be used as temporary markets, and closed at such times when there were no fruits or vegetables for sale. Tht co-operative market can easily be worked out, and is probably the best solution of the roadside selling prob lem. Attacks On Co-operatives Are Resented Co-operative marketing is sound in morals, sound in finance, and sound in principle. It is a sure thing now that any arrangements are made openly. One of the most amazing things that happened last year was attack of Henry Ford's paper. Notwithstanding the attack of hift paper last year and with all his re sources and financial power he has not been able to stop one single co operative marketing association, says Judge Bingham. He has been able to impede the formation of some new ones. He has not been able to stop or destroy a single one in operation. The publisher of the Staple Cotton Review, in the issue for October 1, 1924, expressed the following resent ment of the attack on co-operative marketing by the Dearborn Inde pendent: "A recent issue of the Dearborn Independent contains an article on the Staple Cotton Co-operative as sociation. We have a certain ad miration for excellence, per se, quite regardless of the field in which it is displayed or the particular form and circumstance of its manifesta tion. Measured by certain standards, this is an excellent article. Its au thor has succeeded in compressing as many inaccuracies in as small a com pass as was ever accomplished by any writer, anywhere, even in the Dear born Independent. He has attempted the feat of constantly following the shadowy line of libelous writing, yet trying to remain upon the legally safu side of mendacity. Whether he has accomplished it, remains to be seen. He has adopted the use of broad gen eralizations to include apparently specific charges and so handling them as to make a specious appeal to the ignorant, the prejudiced and the un informed. We say, therefore, that in astute innuendo and cunningly malicious insinuations, coupled with a shrewd effort to avoid the use of actionable words, the article is fairly entitled to be characterized as ex cellent : A sort of excellence of in famy, to be more specific."
