given below.
Emporia, Va. Sept. 11, 1929
Dear Bro. Harris:
We had Brother Carey Barker with
us in a three week's meeting here in
Emporia last year. He did a splen
did and lasting work in our commu
nity. His sermons are strong and
straight, his theology is sound to the
core, and his life is clean and con
secrated. He is the type of Evange.
list that can go back for the second
meeting. I can endorse him enthu
siastically. He has a warm heart
and a warm message for all classes.
Last month he was in our nearby
town Franklin, Va., and had 66 for
baptism at the close of the meeting.
Hoping that you will have a great
meeting and with k :vlest regards to
you and yours, I am,
Geo. T. Tunstall, pastor.

FIFTEEN PERCENT RETAIL PROFIT
ALLOWED ON HIGH SCHOOL BOOKS
Raleigh, Sept. 25. High school
textbooks may be purchased by the
children of the State at prices not to
exceed fifteen per cent above the
wholesale prices under the new form
of high school contract entered into
between the State Board of Education
and the publishers, which requires
that the publisher stamp in each book
both the wholesale and retail price, it
was learned last week from a letter
sent to county and city superinten
dent of Public Instruction, A. T.
Allen.
This information was sent to the
local superintendents as a result of
complaints coming to the State office
ants were not present. The offen
ses charged were varied, including
such things as bad checks violating
prohibition laws, larceny, attempt to
burn a dwelling and incest.
Two Negro youths, Matthew Col
lins and William Potter were the first
tried. They were charged with trans
porting whiskey. Attorney C. R.
Wheatly appeared for Collins and en
tered a plea of not guilty. Evidence
given by officers Styron and Holland
was that they stopped the car on Ann
street near the bridge and that Col
lins broke a half gallon jar contain
ing liquor when the officers started to
arrest them. Collins' defense was
that he was merely a ppassenger in
the car and had been in it only a few
minutes. The judgment of the court
was not guilty as to Collins. Potter
was found guilty and fined $15 and
costs or serve 90 days on the roads.
He is also to appear every first Tues
day for six months and show that he
has not violated any law.
Ike. Dudley and Nina Dudley his
wife, both colored and residents of
Morehead City were tried on a liq
uor charge. They were defended by
Attorney Luther Hamilton. Sheriff
Davis, Deputy Stanford Gaskill
Chief of Police Willis, Officer Iredell
Salter and D. M. Jones formed a
party that made a raid on the home
of the Dudleys last Saturday morning
at about eight o'clock. They testi
fied that they foud Ike asleep; that
his wife was rather slow about open
ing the door and they heard breaking
glass. When they got in they found
a half gallon jar of whiskey in a tub ,
of dirty water and two broken jars
in it also. The Dudley woman grab
bed a pistol which was taken away
from her by Deputy Gaskill. The
officers did not have any evidence of
any sale of liquor and the defendants
said that it was for home consump
tion. Ike admitted having sold liq
uor in the past but denied the im
peachment this time. Judge Hill de
cided that the woman might go free
and that Ike was guilty. He at first
decided to give him six months on
the roads but he yielded to Mr. Ham
ilton's plea for mercy and gave him
a fine of $25 and costs anda sentence
of twelve months on the roads with

UNIVERSITY HAS
LARGE ENROLMENT
Despite Money Stringency Ov
er 2500 Students Have Al
ready Enrolled
Chaptl Hill, Sept. 24 Surpassing
all expectations, , the student enrol
ment at the State University this
year has already passed the 2500
mark, and indications are that the to
tal for the fall term will be around
2600.
The enrolment last year was 2504.
Hence last year's mark already has
been passed, and the record set in
1927, when 2631 enrolled for the fall
term, is being seriously threatened.
President Chase and other Univer
sity officials are both surpassed and
gratified at the increase over last
year. Due to the general tightness
of money, it was feared that the en
rolment this year would show a decid
ed drop.
More than 400 are enrolled in the
professional schools. The School of
Law has 112, School of Pharmacy so,
and the School of Medicine 83. The
School of Medicine has two women
students and the School of Law one.
