ENGINEERS AND LEV EE BOARD The Asheraft-Huske Wedding and .Men's Bible (.'las Comen For At tention of the Writer. By Mrs. Knox Wolfe-IUrgett We have been somewhat censured. or called down, for our enthusiasm in writing so much concerning this, our Men s Bible class; and it was by a Methodist preacher too. I guess he meant it for good, as he thought it might become tiresome, or monoto nous to outsiders. This boosting is what I'm with them for, to tell the world the progress of this particular class. If the public tires ol hearing the tramp of these christian soldiers, the; are seed that fell among the thorns anyway, and we will tramp over them and go "Marching on be fore." Maybe they will do better some day. We have all been reading about the big Mississippi River threatening to break the levees, and the menace that surrounds the cities along her banks. I wish to give my readers a partial description of this terror from a letter we received a few days ago from our friend. Mrs. Maggie Stur divant, who lives in Greenville, Miss. It runs thus: "For over two weeks we have been expecting an overflow. When we lie down at night we don't know but what the water will be creeping in on us before daylight. For a few pretty days of sunshine, the people have been optomistic, hop ing the levees would hold, but today dark clouds and rain have caused our spirits to droop. It looks as if an other wet spell has set in, and if so, we are afraid the levees won't hold; the rain softened the soil, and makes them more liable to slough. The levees on the Greenville wharf are considered safe, but many weak places above us, and below us, and should these break we would have an overflow from back water. The river is over 52 feet high here, a foot higher than it has ever been before. Ten miles above here there is a stretch of from seven to ten miles where between 6,000 ai.d 7,000 men have been at work day and night, strenght ening the levees with thousands and thousands of sacks Ailed with sand and earth. . Yesterday the news from there was good, but I don't know bow much damage today's rain will bring. Sometimes they think that they have a boil stopped, then a great wave of the river will sweep it into the water. Twenty. Two Miles Wide iney say tne river is zi miles wide at a weak point at Scotts, and just across the river is Arkansas City, in Ark., and they are having a mighty fight to prevent a break. All up and down the rivers of Missouri, Ohio, Illinois, Wabash, White, Ar kansas, and other rivers, thousands and thousands of men are fighting to hold back this mighty flood. Green ville is built right on the river, and from the levee on the north to that on the south there is a low protective levee built up around the town. Of course there are roads in all direC' tions leading through these levees, but are all closed now except just a space wide enough for one car to pass through. Bags are lying filled at each road ready to close it entirely should a break occur anywhere. "Guards have watched for a month, and it seems that everything has been done to prevent a disaster. Someone informed me weeks ago that the state of Mississippi had $1,000,000 avail able in funds, and our city, Green ville, had 1.000,000 sacks, and thev had ordered 3,000,000 more, which are coming in every day. All of last Saturday, as I sat at my window sew ing, I saw truck load after truck load of sacks passing on the way to the whnrt. The main wharf where the boats land is just five blocks straight uo the street from us. Last night I thought I heard water running through the street. I went to the window and found it raining. It is an awful thought to know that a mighty river 62 feet above low water mark is rolling by you with nothing to protect you from it but a hill of dirt and sand, placed there by man. The levees are not built right by the channel, but far back so that the wa ter can spread. Neither are they per pendicular, but sloping like a hill. The only hill one sees here, too. "The river is higher at Vicksburg than here, but this city is on a bluff. We were to have a protracted meet ing here by a divine of note from Florida, but postponed it, and the prayer circles were turned into prayer meetings for protection against this mighty flood. Members of the Amer ican Legion have taken charge of the kitchen department. Feeding all of these workers is quite an item in the service, and they nave called for vol unteers in this work. The ladies of fered their service but I don't think they will be called. "I see from the papers that Dallas arid Fort Worth have their streets flooded. I thought of Dick Wolfe, and enjoyed his letter to you, and I know how his mother feels when she reads something from you in The Journal. Greenville has had three overflows in the past Never over 4 to 6 feet according to location. They t'.'tl n:e this back water never comes in a rush but you can see it coming ; in the distance, creeping in on you inch by inch. "One more word about the high Continued on Page Four THE ROAD HOG IS A BIG WART ON CIVILIZATION Ordinary Porkers and End-Scat Hogs Have lll-Rred Manners. But Don't Touch Koad Hog A rural resident of the county wants an article written on "The Hogs," and here it is: What is a hog and whore did the name or'gi pute? Mr. Webster gives a number of definitions for hog and says the word is of uncertain origin. Most people perhaps hold to the idea that the word "hog" was originated to give the proper expression to our thoughts in regard to the manner in which or dinary swine conduct themselves, but the manner of conduct of some people might lead one to conclude, upon sec ond thought, that the name was orig inated for a class of human beings and that the swine kingdom is so much like said human beings that the word was adopted as the universal name for these lower animals. In addition to the ordinary porker, there has always been a class of hogs that are a public nuisance. They are known as end-seat hogs and they go to church, picture theaters, and other public gatherings and always find a convenient seat on the end of a bench and insist that they be allowed to hold it, although it may make it nec essary for men. women and children tc scramble over their feet and legs ii order to get by where they may obtain a place to sit down. These end-seat hogs are very harmless and about the only thin? that can be said against them is that they are either selfish or ill-bred. But the advent of the automobile has brought into evidence another kind of hog. known Tn America as the road hog, and he is the most dangerous and detestible of all the hogs in the hog kingdom. He has two ends. He uses the split-end to walk on and tne other he uses to hang his hat on. He wears trousers and feels big. His stomach is filled with water, gas and other substances and his head is emp tv. He ran drive an automobile. Pro vided he is given both sides and the middle of a public highway in wn.cn o do it. His manners are bad and his regard for the rights of others ars worse. He is hard to fatten and would make a mighty poor quality of pork if he should ever get tat. He Kes and moves and has his being lie same as other hogs, but he is not .is thankful, for he refuses to even ijrunt when you drive into a ditch and give him the entire road. He is i danirerous animal, for he is calcu- ated to hurt somebody else and kill lis fool self. If he could be put in a pen and fed snakes, beef scraps and the refuse from the family table he might develop a more generous deposition. The game laws protect him arid decent people don't want to ontaminate themselves trying to teach him the laws of commen decency. He is a thorn in the flesh of American liberty and a wart on civilization that nothing but death will remove. So, what's the use kill ing time talking about him! Why not elevate our minds through meditation iron more desirable objects, such as hookworm, measles, small pox, "flu," cabbage snakes and boll weevils!

Woman Gives Banker Licking Myrtle Beldon, 27 years old, a ro bust woman who carries the rural mail out to Yorkville, Illinois, set upon Clarence Beecher, cashier of the Far mers State Bank of her town, and mopped up a large section of the side walk with him. He had made remarks about her, she said. Beecher had no chance in the go. Outweighed fifty pounds and slow on his feet he finally was driven tnrougn the bank window with a solid hook to the jaw. When Miss Belden had finished with the banker, who, she said she thought "had been taught a lesson," she would not discuss the setto except to say that "it was the result of an impulse on her part and she wished people would forget it" Aghast though the town was at Miss Belden's outbreak, it still is staunchly for her. She is the support of a mother and sister and has made good on every job that she has under taken.

Baptist Brotherhood Will Provide Meeting Rooms Movement Launched at Friday Night Supptr and Sub stantial Subscriptions Were MadeInteresting History and Progress of the Church T'.ie Brotherhood Club of the First Baptit church at their regular monthly meeting Friday night launch ed a movement for the erection of a hut at the back of the church build ing for the accommodation of the club meetings, missionary societies, etc. The hut is to be 40 by 60 feet and so arranged as to fill the purpose for which it is intended to the best ad vantage. It will contain a cook room, cloak room and a dining room and will seat 210 people at tables or 400 in the regular order. The hut will cost about $1150 and $750 of that amount was subscribed Friday night by club members present It was demonstrated at the Friday night's meeting that the Baptist Brotherhood is all that the name im plies and that its members mean to do things. The president, Mr. John C. Sikes, is a most excellent presid ing officer and the pop and enthus iasm he puts into meetings cannot help but bring results. With the as sistance of Dr. Burrell, the popular pastor, and Mr. R. H. Cunningham, the energetic vice-jfresident, and other members who are wide-awake these meetings are proving an in spiration to the church that is des tined to be far-reaching tn its re sults. The program was opened Friday niht with "America." Dr. and Mrs. Green rendered some beautiful duets, with Mrs. Hall Wilson and Mrs. John Beasley at the piano. A most delicious supper was serv ed and everything went well until Boy May burnt his tongue trying to drink hot coffee. However when the ice cream course was served Bob managed to get hold of two helpings which to some extent relieved his burns and iut him in good humor again. Mr. R. H. Cunningham is of course th? clown of the organization. He and Mr. Joel W. Griffin met the mem bers at the door, took them by the arm and had them shake with every other fellow. When Mr. Cunningham was called on for a speech everybody knew something was coming and it did. In the course of his remarks Mr. Cunningham said that he wanted ev rybody to feel free and easy and at liberty. He illustrated his position with a story of a young man and youn lady who were sitting in the fifth story of a New York building looking out upon the SUtue of Li ierty. The young rnW88 bashful, but finallv he manay to get hold of the gril's hand and a he clasped t he said; "I wonder why' the lights ::i ths Statue of Liberty are so dim to-.ight." to which she promptly re plied: "I suppose the dimmer the lights the greater the liberty," and he took the hint. The pleasure of the hour was rreatly enhanced by the appearance upon the scene of Rev. Mr. Hoyle, DID YOU KNOW THAT North Carolina farm crops in 1919 were worth $683, 000,000. ' North Carolina lead New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin In value of farm crops for the year 1919.

Hollaway's tonight at 7:45. Prof. C. M. Beach and Prof. Burrus of Wingate, all of whom made short, spicy talks. The First Baptist Church male quartet, composed of Messrs. Henry Ellis Copple, John Correll, Yates Laney and George Beasley, Jr., was introduced and rendered some excell ent selections, among which was "Su san Jane." ' Mr. Sikes made a most excellent address, appealing to the members of of the club to sand behind the pastor, the B. Y. P. U. and other organizations of the church and closed with a beautiful portrayal of ! the manner in which Aaron and Hur held ut the arms of Moses and caus I ed his armies to prevail, i The fact must not be overlooked that the good ladies of the church ' made" the event possible, for anybody 1 who looked upon that scene of more I than a hundred hungry men out on I one of the rainiest nights of the sea son could not help feeling that the I delicious supper that had been pre j pared and served under the supervi sion of wives and daughters of the club members had quite a bit to do with the success of the occasion. I Mr. Randolph Redfearn furnished ! the following interesting history of ! the organization and progress of the I church: t The First Baptist church in Mon jroe was organized Oct. 22nd, 1822, i by a presbytery composed of Rev.

A Sunday school room was I added in 1905 and later other Sunday t , 1 . L..M.. jscnooi rooms were num. ' la lRfll some of the furniture and. other household effects of the parson age were sold at public auction and those of us who complain about high prices will be interested to know what things brought in those days, of course in Confederate money.

MARSHVILLE HIGH SCHOOL CLOSES IN GREAT GLORY Last Exercises Largely Attended and Pupils Performed Excellently; St a Ion's Rrsideace Burns Marshville, May 1. Last Mon day evening the senior class of Marshville High School gave a play which was very good indeed and much enjoyed and there was the largest audience ever In attendance. Even the aisles and vestibules wto packed with standing spectators. Music was furnished by the school glee club, also several piano selec tions from pupils or Mrs. White. In all considerable talent and good training was displayed. Tuesday evening the last of the commencement program was given, in a play entitled "The Flowers of the Dust." Scarcely ever do we find home talent so good in sustaining all the way through the characters por trayed, with such ease and natural ness. The negro In the play was so good a make-up that it Is told of bim that on his way to a dress rehersal the chief of police accosted him, think ing him some unknown negro and asked him where he was going with that candle he carried in his hand. Some on else also hailed him, as a chum but you can ask the young man for details. In fact all were true to the parts they represented. An other full-to-overflowing house was in attendance. The Wednesday Afternoon Book club met with Mrs. B. C. Edwards, where a most injoyable time was given those present by the hostess. Two contests were given, won by Mesdani.es Covington and Griffin. Cream, cake and mints were served. Mrs. Moore of Raleigh was the guest of Mrs. Edwards. Messrs. Boyce Hallman, H. T. Mc Bride and Horace Harrell went to Atlanta last Wednesday. Mrs. Krakos of Charlotte visited relatives here last week. Mrs. J. C. M. Vann, Mrs. Will Horn and daughter visited Mrs. Boyce Hallman Sunday. Mrs. Calvin Nasn died Sunday and was buried Monday at Gilboa. Mrs. W. S. Lee, Mrs. Warren Stack ind son and Mr. and Mrs. Tom Lee of Monroe were visitors here Sun day. The house of Mr. J. B. Staton In the eastern part of town was des. troyed by fire Sunday night about 1 o'clock. It was In flames when dis covered by some neighbors. Efforts were directed to saving those living near. The house was unoccupied at th time. ' ' Mr. Whltener, assistant cashier of Marshville Bank, received a mes sage Monday morning of the death of his sister, who lives near Statesvllle. She leaves a husband and four little children. We extend our sympathies. .May 1, and the stores of our town close at 6 o'clock. This gives those who are working on the inside so much time for recreation oi home duties, as gardening, home-beautify. Lng. etc. Not forgetting the auto-riding in which, let us take to tha country, the highway or by-ways, as much as possible, and spare t-j sr.-ie extent our streets and homes from t'.ie dust that comes and abides. WILD DUCKS AND GEESE IN BRIEF NEIGHBORHOOD Will Continue Efforts for Educational Advantages Many Other Items of Interest Brief, May 1. Mrs. Howard Big gers and little daughter, Emily How ard, of Memphis, Tennessee, are vis iting at the home of her mother-in-nv, Mrs. F. K. Biggers. Mr. A. V. Philemon of Charlotte was a visitor in Brief recently. Mr. ar.d Mrs. Joo Petteys of Char lotte visited friends and relatives here last week. Quite a number of wild ducks and geese have been seen using on the ponds in tlrs section lately. Why not try to attract these rare fowls and make this one of their homes? We are proud possessors of the highway leading through here and will be still prouder of it when the Carbarrus county road authorities grade their road connecting up with Concord. The necessity for this is very imperative. Too, we wish to re mind the authorities in charge of the maintenance of this road of the fact that the upper end of this highway is badly in ne.l ot the drag or scrape. To let this go unattended will neces sitate an expenditure of money which is now avoidable. With the report of the great suc cess of the schools of our county for the past term still ringing in your inrs, let's think of what a much greater chance at improvement now than a year ago; and what a pleasur able duty before us in preparing and paving the way for greater achieve ments. Will we shirk this? Never! The good people of our county will not be held back; instead, they are go ng to continue to strive for the children's interest above all else. An effort is being made to organize a baseball club here. We think this a grand idea and hope to see it get the support of all who are interested in the community spirit. Mr. Roy Long received a telegram Saturday stating that his brother, Mr. J. B. Long of Winston-Salem, was crlt cally til. Mr. Long immediately to be with his brother. The regular monthly meeting of the Farmers I'nion will convene with Flint Ridge local union Saturday, May tith, at 10:30 a. m. This will probably be the last session of the county union until August 1st. WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION HAD A GREAT MEETING 27TH Mrs V. K. Burrell tr Molina Kxliib lleil Ttir-er Cliiiie- lt and K.

By Mrs. t IVilk Th r-cular quarterly meeting Of the W". M. U. of the I'nion Associa tion iiirt with the church at Ebene. zer on April 27. 1922. Despite the threatening weather a goodly num ber was present, there being five so cieties represented. These were Monro. Shiloh. Corinth, Oak Grove and Ebenezer. But the clouds all seemed to disperse and our hearts were -rilled with sunshine when we entered the church, and the words "Welcome W. M. C." greeted us from the pulpit, and too, the air was fragrant with the perfume of the pots and vases of beautiful flowers that adorned the church. They had been placed there by tbe ladies of the church. Mrs. D. B. Snyder, our superin tendent, hal charge of the morning session. The service was begun by singing "All Hail the Power of Je sus Name." after which Mrs. Brax ton Craig led in prayer. We than had a s?ripitire lessen, a goodly number of the ladies taking part in the reading. For this lesson Mrs. Snyder had s-lected references deal ing with the part that women had taken in the work of the kingdom In the time of Christ. Mrs. Snyder said that woman had been In the back ground, and that it was some time before our brethren were convinced that we had a part in the work, but that we were now coming Into our own. Personal service work was then taken up and discussed by Mrs. Cor rell, Mrs. Ashcraft. Mrs. Snyder afld others. Mrs. Snyder said that in per sonal service work was found the two-fold blessing that we hear so much about now that in doing this work we not only help some one else but we help ourselves, and closed by repeating' the words of Christ when He said, "In as much as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren. y have Uone it unto me." "Help Somebody To-day" was sung, and we were dismissed with a short prayer by Mrs. Bigham. j-'-The ladies of the ehorch bad pre- laien a uuuuiuui u inner, wnicn was spread pic nlc fashion In the beauti ful grove that surrounds the church, and was much enjoyed by all who participated. Mrs. Ashcraft had charge of the afternoon session, which was begun by sinning "Where He Leads Me I Will Follow," after which she read and commented freely on the tenth chapter ot Matthew. Mrs. W". R. Burrell, organizer of the Junior work, then spoke on China. She told of the habits and needs of China and displayed three of the idols worship ped by the Chinese. She then called on one of the young ladies In the au dience to come to the front and She placed on her, so all might see, a beautiful Chinese official gown. This gown was made of the finest of silk and elaborately embroidered in the most brilliant colors, made by the Chinese women, and said to be One hundred years old. Mrs. Burrell said that the Chinese girls were very unlike the American cirls in that thty had but few dres.-ies, often working on one dress five years. China's greatest need is Christ, said Mrs. Burrell, and her doors were onre closed to Christianity, but are now v.i.i open, and closed by mak ing a stroni; appal to the young women and tirls In the congregation to dedicate their lives to His service. After singing "Blest be ihe tie that binds" the meeting adjourned to meet with the church at Oak Grove the last Thursday in July. $20,000 in Bonds for Stealing Ford Car (From Greensboro News) "Bound over to Superior court with bond at $10,000," said Judse D.
