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'.” Theodore Roberts 111. - Pittsburgh, Dee 14.—Theodore Rob erts. veteran screen, and stage actor is confined to his room in a hotel here under the care oftwo physicians after having taken suddenly ill last night at, the conclusion of liis appearance at a vaudeville theater.
