The woman minister in a few ye*uw will be as familiar a figure in the country as the present rural school teach er, he said. "Reports indicate the number of re cruits to the ministry is small,” Dr. hoiijyth declared. “Many ministers find it difficult to continue in the ser vice because of economic conditions. The rural minister has a harder time to support a family—now than at any time during the past two decades.” A woman preached would be as suc cessful in the country as is her sister, the country school teacher, the speaker declared. She could live Snore econom ically than could a minister with a fam ily. According to Dr. Forsyth, more whites, born in the south, have sought homes elsewhere than have negroes born there.' He declared a study of the lf)20 census releaved that 780,000 whites had left the south, whereas 870,000 negroes had migrated to the north. Cabarrus Voted No. Salisbury Post. ( aha rrtts is a progressive county and we do not quite understand why it voted down a proposal to levy a special county wide rural school tax-of 20 cents on the SIOO. We cannot believe that the peo ple of* the county do not want better schools, nor that they are unwilling to pay for them, there must have been some issue wrapped in with' the proposal to carry it into disfavor with the vot ers. If that be true then there should be a straightening out or the issue and the thing settled right and for schools. There is no use to argue this matter of rural schools, they simply must come. The rural schools must keep up with the schools of the cities and towns, and they must keep up in all—counties with ti< high standa' d set by a progressive school policy. We know that Cabarrus like other North Carolina counties,needs better rural schools and we know, too, that they must come and the sooner the better. In every county it is well to take the time to work . out the right policy, one best suited to the local coun t.v conditions and work to the rounding out and completion of a well established system-. M hat they voted ou in Cabarrus we do nor know, little was said of the issue in public print and we are not for crit icising the voters of the-good county of Cabarrus, It is our opinion that there must have been something unsatisfactory °r the issue would nol have been defeat ed. We do not believe the Cabarrus people voted against better schools, they else* 1 haVC ,)-2t-p. 20-lt-p.

Holiday Liquor Kills Five—Many Others Sick. Philadelphia, Nov. 25.—Liquor, ‘-im ported” for the holiday season is blamed by the policp for the death today of five men, and the sending of many others to hospitals in critical conditions. The deaths increased the fatalities attributed by the authorities to poison whisky to eight in the last seven days. Central city hospitals today treated scores of persons who had boon (licked up the streets unconscious from whiskey which some of them said .had been sold to them by bootleggers as ‘‘imported.” Many said they had taken only one or two drinks before losing consciousness. Oxygen gas have saved the lives of at least a dozen at one hospital, physicians said. Stood Adamant. The Uplift. Bishop Dennv. in presiding over the North Carolina Methodist Conference at Elziabeth City during the past week, stood immovable for the four year limit for a pastorate. A wonderfully strong man, of great learning and of outstand ing courage is Bishop Denny, but he just couldn't turn a deaf ear to the demand for the return of the little live ecclesias tieal wire that presidos over Forest Hill in Concord, so the Rev. J. Frank Arm strong enjoys the reputation of being the only Methodist preacher that, was ever .permitted to live in Concord for five con secutive years and officiate at the same church. r". ’ * ’ Diving on a wet concrete pavement more than 100 wild ducks broke their nods near Champaign, Illinois.
