This sort of service never gives more than it must and follows out merely the letter of the law, This AGENCY service is different. IT promises much service to the public, and gives full measure. In short, this AGENCY'S ser vice being of the spirit reaches far beyond the letter; and It is that which in more than fourteen years has made this AGENCY' known all over the county. l ire.

I feel sure, consider it Imper tinent for me to say that this is the only purpose that could be served by the item referred to in vonr nauer. the Demo- ,-aiculated as it is to nut Catholics in a ridiculous liiuht. Because thtf Catholics of North Carolina and elsewhere who read your valuable paper quite well know, that if Mr. Frank Hasty or Marshville ev er visited a Catholic church, he did not meet with the experience narrated In your patier; For, not only in the North Carolina city which you failed to name, but wherever there is a Catholic church, visitors may walk right in, go where they please, see anything they like to. do what they wish, and so lonu as they are orderly no questions will ha asked of them. Mr. Frank Hasty of Marshville. who ever he is, has simply imposed upon you a bit of fiction that is either hu morous or malicious, according to one's taste. A number of the editors in Georgia used to fall for this sort of comedy, but most of them have come in realize that such things are usual ly "out of the whole cloth" and do not do any good. Having myself been for many years an editor. I can grant without the ne cessity of your saying, that there was no ill motive pn your part, possibly not on the part of Mr. Frank Hasty of Marshville, but It is not pleasant to Catholics to have a newspaper of note and Influence in the community aspersing their religious practices with ridicule. U Mr. Frank Hasty of Marshville insists upon the truth of his story, he surelV will give you the name of the city in North Carolina where he says the Incident occurred, and the lime when he says it did occur, as well' as (he names of some of his friends who were with him. If he will not do this I think you will agree with me that the matter should be put down as an Ignorant or Ill-timed hoax. Very tru ly yours. J. J. Farrell. Publicity Man ager. Catholic Layman's Association of Georgia, Augusta. Ga., May 31, 1920. The article to which the above com munication has reference to. was pub lished In The Journal on May 4, 1920, and follows: Mr. Frank Hasty of Marshville, who was In Monroe Monday, had sev eral of his friends laughing at an ex perience he had in a North Carolina city some time ago when he wan dered Into a Catholic church. "I had no reason for entering the church," he said, "but followed another man in Just for curiosity. I got along all right until I came to the altar, where the man in front of me had dipped his linger in holy water. I tried to do the same thing, but was stopped by two of the priests, who stood near ine. 'Are you a member of thta church?' one of them asked. 'No.' I replied. Surprised that a non-member should enter the sacred portals, the priests ordered the church door closed. I stood there almost paralyzed with fear. Beads of perspiration ap peared on my face, though snow was on the ground. Turning to me, a priest said: 'Y'ott have polluted the water.' I remained quiet. 'What did you mean by dipping your Onger In the holy water?' I was flnajly asked. "Well, sir,' 1 replied, 'I have always been told to do in Rome as Romans do.' This made the fathers smile. 'You are pardoned,' said one, as he opened the door for me to make my exit. Needless to stale, I was thank ful to gain my freedom." ffUlJAZ Vs WE ARE Exclusive Agents FOR We invite householders generally to call ano see samples of these finishes.

Cameron Morrison was Intro duced to a large Asheville audieuce Wednesday by ex-Governor Locke Craig in the following classic wan ner: "In the selectlou of governor the good of the state is the first consid eration. I gladly bear testimony of ability and character beyond ques tion. It will be conceded, I think, by fair-minded persons, that in strength of Intellect, in equipment for public service, in training and in exalted character and ideals. Cameron Morri son is the peer of any North Caroliui an of our generation. "Born to poverty, the riches of mind and nobility of heart were his inheritance. In youth, with un daunted faith and courage, he tri umphed over difficulties. By genuine worth and a personality that com manded admiration, by universal es teem, he took his place years ago among the foremost, as a mail and a leader or then. In the forum he ranks with the first lawyers of the state, for he is learned in the wisdom pf the sages, and ran appeal with the con vincing power of logic and emotion to the hearts and consciences of men. "Bui his finest thought, his high est activities have been devoted to the service of the people. This is the genius of his life, and the fire of bis soul. He is a democrat because he loves justice and equality, because re recognizes the fellowship of men who work, and the right of all ranks of society to laws and institutions that will guarantee the development of a higher social order; and demo cracyyto him is a well of truth spring ing up into everlasting life. "For 25 years he has served the democratic party and the people of this state with a faith that never faltered with a loyalty and courage that never wavered, and with a prow ess that never failed. . Old men and women in eastern North Carolina and western North Carolina will tell with gratitude to their grand-children his work in the redemption and safety of the state. For 20 years he has been a leader in declaring the principles and formulating the policies by which tne aemocratic party nas icq tne siaie into the ways of prosperity and right eousness for the magnificent advance ment and blessing of all the people. He has rendered all itnselflsh devot ion, which no reward could purchase. He bus devoted his gifts, his life, ful ly, freely, bravely, to his state, and he has done the highest order of work. and more of It than any man in North Carolina who has not been raised to high position. "I am persuaded that the people of North Carolna will not forgenand will not be ungrateful. He asks no reward, but Tie does ardently desire that which Is Inherent In every noble, asprlng child of God, the recognition and approval of the people whom he loves and has served, and from them the high commission of honor and trust to render still greater service. "He has the wisdom that cometh with the steadfast resolve to do right. With 15 years of work and training, with that finer and surer knowledge born of fellowship and human sym pathy with all classes and conditions, he comes to us worthy and well qual Ricd to be rafred to the master's de srte. "With love and gratitude I bear Ltestlmony to his loyalty to friend and to cause. "True and bright as a star shin ing In days of trial and adversity, we need hitu as the standard bearer of democracy In this time of crisis and momentous issue. 'If Wood row Wilson could have stood in -his power, he might have brought order out of chaos, of social ferment and economic upheavel. The hand that is now palsied could have delivered unimpaired to mankind blasted and consumed by war. the covenant of enduring peace. It could have 'tamed the Hydra of Anarchy and quelled the feud of nati-jnt.' But this world leader has taher.. The i eo ple of the VnitedStatos ir. the ap proaching election , insist pass upon the issues of peace and war of America's obligation to civilization of social and economic readjustment and Justnient. The cause of demo cracy is the cause of mankind. "We need a leader In North Caro lina, who can present the great cause with power and elo-iuen?". who can meet all comers lih victorious as surance, and fire '.he hearts of tb unterrlfied as of eld. We have but to look and listen beyond the !in and confusion of the houi- to see th hosts of democracy ia North Caro'ina ad vancing to vtetorr with our greatest field marshal at the h?jl- Canieion Morrison!" - . ..
