CATAWBA COUNTY IS A
LEADING DAIRY CENTER
And is Making Bid for First Place ss
n Poultry Producing County.
(By the Associated Press.)
Raleigh. X. C.. Deo. 17.—Catawba
•County, already known throughout the
South as one of the leading dairy cen
ters of the State, is making a bid for
lirst place as a poultry producing center
because of the excellent records made in
that county by the boys and girls organ
ized into poultry clubs by extension work
ers. of State College and the Department
of Agriculture. according to an an
nouncement made here tonight by Dr. IV
W. Kilgore, director of the extension
work. I)r. Kilgore's statement was bas
ed on the report of County Agent J. W.
Hendricks as to the work done by the
poultry club members of the county.
“This report shows. - ’ stated Dr. Kil
gore, “that the boys and girls making re
ports had 1,495 chickens in their flocks
on January first of this year. The num
ber was increased during 15J28 ItuL-43
birds with a farm value of in
addition the members sold eggs for hatch
ing to the amount of $835.0!) and sold
on the local market a total amounting
to $2,531.81. Not only did these club
members sell a large number omeggs for
breeding purposes but they also sold a
good number of their pure bred birds.
The records show that this one item
amounted to $021.75 and that they sold
other birds on the local market amount
ing to $1,797.00.
“The club members from this county
made a good record at all the fairs where
they exhibited poultry this fall. They
sent a solid car of exhibit birds to the
State Fair and two other district fairs
where they took most of the first prizes.
Tlu-ir winning during the year amounted
to $1,043.45. When from all of these re
turns there is deducted the cost <rf feed
given amounting to $1,707.18 the mem
bers still had a net profit on their work
of $9,731.10.”
THE CONCORD TIMES
In makifig his statement Dr. Kilgore
expressed the opinion that the record of
the Catawba county poultry clubs was
one of the best ever mads by any group
of club boys and girls in the South and
added that it means - that the county
eventually wil be placed in a leading po
sition with regard to being a center for
pure bred •poultry production.
PLYLER ATTACKS HOODED
BRIGADE IN HARSH TERMS
Declares Preachers Who Join Ku Klux
Klan and Legislatures That Permit
Are Cowardly.
Washington, Dec. 15. —A North Car
olina preacher, Rev. Dr. A. W. Plyler,
of Greensboro, attacked the Ku Klux
Klnn in a speech before the other mem
bers. of the Southern Methodist Press
Association, in session here today. He
did not mince words, but spoke out
boldly, frankly and to the point. He
said that such an organization had no
place in the civilization of America.
Sir. Plyler is editor of The North Caro
lina Christian Advocate, organ of the
| t\vp v North Carolina Method'st eonfey
! cnees.
Mr. Plyler has always been outskopen
and courageous. As a football player
on the Trinity College crack team thirty
years ago he was* fearless,, aggressive
and strong. Hits address here today
made a fine impression and attracted
widespread attention. The local pa
pers played it up.
The attack came during the third
session of a three-day conference here.
Severely criticizing it for hiding the
identity of its members and its prac
tices of writing anonymous letters, Dr.
Playler denounced the klan in unmeas
ured terms.
First, a Methodist preacher of old
was pictured. The speaker then ad
ded :
“But now we have the pitiable and
contemptible spectacle of a so-called
Methodist preacher, clothed in a night
shirt, with a white rag over bus face,
going out to regulate society. You ask
him why the garb? He answers: ‘i
am going out to fight bootleggers and
I am hot after Jews and Roman Cath
olics.’
“God save the Methodist Church, or
any church for that 'matter, from u
preacher who is too big a coward to
“tight in the open.”
i The Ku Klux K'an expected.” Mr.
Plyler declared, “by hooded disguises
and grotesque costumes to strike terror
to the hearts of the uninitiated But
they have failed ignominiously in this,
except a few ignorant negroes and a
good sprinkling of several State Legis
latures—men who are proverbially afraid
>f their shadows.”
Criticising the mask Dr. Plyler said
that God. in his long conflict with the
forces cf unrighteousness, “has frequent
ly required his people to put on the
Martyr's crown, but he lia-s never al
lowed them to wear a mask, for the
mask belongs to the burglar, the high
wayman and the leaders of mobs which
are set to do violence to life and law,
and not lo brave, high-minded men with
noble aims and lot’ty purposes. When
a man conceals hi* identity, either by
covering his face, by refusing to give
his name, or by writing an anonymous
letter, it is proof positive; to most people,
that he is up to some sort of dirty
work.
“He who goes alnut a mams prem
ises under cover of darkness and unwill
ing to give his name becomes the ob
ject of the honest old farmer’s shotgun.
“I. too. am against all that I ‘think
is bad in Roman Catholicism, ami do not
hesitate to say so. but this opposition
is at all times, and in every instance, in
the open'.”

clined to discuss the nature of Mr.
Roberts’ illness, they said he had not
been iu good health for sometime.

I some set of chimes to the church in lion

j ter pieces of Wagner. Thomas. Kramer.
| Mendelssohn, Handel and Drdla were
played and sung. Mrs. Ivnebel has a
charming voice and her lyric soprano
as superb, reaching high (’ with perfect
case. She proved herself a master of
song, captivating the immense audience.
Mrs. Gibson, well known mezzo soprano,
of Concord, was in perfect voice, singing
the duet with Airs. Knebel with fine
harmony. Concord is fortunate in hav
ing a resident possessing Aieh a rich
dear voice. -Sam Goodman, maintained
his splendid reputation as one of the
leading musicians of the South.

of voice and organ were the beautiful
chimes in the belfry, which added a
great charm to the occasion. A pleasant
surprise not on the program was a duet
rendered by Airs. Knebel and her son. ,

A New Conception of til? Universe.
The most amazing conception of the
Universe ever promulgated appears in
The Sunday World Magazine for De
cember 23rd. It is presented as a scien
tific fact, based on the observations of
Charles Fort, astronomer, that the plan
ets are really dose to the world, that <
the sky is a hollow shell, and that the !
earth is literally menaced by the inhabi- J;
tants of invisible lands nearby in the i
air. This startling theory is fulfy ex- j;
plained. ~
