Bl KltEI.L FORMALLY PRESENTED THE BUILDING Dr. E. V. Sikes. President of Coker College, Made Principal Address in Hi inimitable Manner The hut recently erected by the Baptist Brotherhood on a lot at the back of the church was formally opened last night at eight o'clock, as were also the hungry mouths of about two hundred members of the , Brotherhood and invited guests from the other churches of the city. Everybody seemed to understand that the crowd was hungry, for the act of feeding faces was gracefully and enthusiastically engaged in about the first thing after the men seated themselves at the tables. However, the eating act was happily sandwiched with classical and old t;me music, among which were such soul-thrilling selections as "oood-bye, .My Lover, Good-bye," "Old Time Religion," "Swine Law. Sweet Chariot, "I am A-Climin' up Jacob's Ladder," etc. The oresident of the club announc ed that Mr. Culpepper Sikes would entertain us with a solo entitled vt ny don't you call your dog." but the soio was so low that nobody heard it. Mr. J. C. Sikes, president of the Brotherhood, introduced Mayor J. C. M. Vann in a happy manner and Mr. Vann preached a little sermon, a thing be never did before, as he ex pressed it, and stated that the best way to show our faith is by our works and made the happy applica tion that the erection of the hut for the development of the social side of church life certainly exemplifies the fact that the Baptists of Monroe ba l.eve in carrying out that principle. Dr. V. R. Burrell, pastor of the church, was called to his feet and in a very appropriate manner he pre-K-iited the hut to the members of the Brotherhood and sta'.ed that it is the fjlti'lment of a long-cherished pur pose in making religion the mist human as well s the most divine thin in the world. Ha declared that while religion dials with things to cume, it is also vitally connected with things that are. He made it clear that the run'"-" behind the erection of this hut is not that it shall be used in a selfish way by the Baptists alone, but that uny religious or civic trganir.ation of the city is at liberty to use it for any good purpose that it is to be a community center in the religious and social hie of the city. He also stated that as the hut was erected with the idea of brotherhood in view and that nothing but the best of feelings and good will one toward another must enter within its walls, the discussion of politics and theology in the meetings is prohibited, but that the you.ig people w;ll be permitted to court in the building, especially since ministers are always looking for some means of augmenting their incomes. And he made it clear that ns the use of the bu lding hud been tendered all the men of the city, the women are also welcome to use it, since manhood always embraces the womanhood. Dr. Sikes' Speaks Dr. E. W. Sikes, president of Coker College, Hartsville, S. C, was the principal speaker of thw occasion, and it was ery fitting that he, a brother of the president of the Brotherhood, should deliver his pvr.t menage en this glad occasion. "The Program of Christianity" was 1". Sikes.' s'il'joet. ai d he stated ill the u'set li at lie was g'ad t :-f' the walls of formal- it v hi-oken down ii t !;.: v lii,.:ifi:iu !

The speaker discussed the sope. purpose and method of Christianity, declaring that it is world-wide in its scope, that its purpose is to save men and women from themselves and place them on a plane of helping and liv ing for others, and that the method is individual regeneration. He de clared that the christian religion is not intended to put new ideas into people but to put into them new ideals, which they are to strive to attain. He laid down the proposi tion that the life that Christ lived is one that appeals to everybody of all nationalities that while He never went as far away from his home town as the distance from here to Wilmington or Atlanta, He touched the world by His mighty example of love and helpfulness. Dr. Sikes de clares that the Sermon on the Mount is the great Magna Carta of the christian life, but that people fail to take it seriously. He closed with the very truthful statement that if we would help ourselves, we must also help somebody else. The addi ess was a really great one and Dr. Sikes told it in his own inimitable manner. The hut just completed is in every way suited to the purpose for which it was designed and fills a long-felt need for a place where informal meetings of various kinds may he held and where the social life of the church and community may be devel oped under wholesome influence, and the members of the Baptist Brother hood are to bs congratulated upon this progressive step. The movement for the erection oi such a building yem !aunchd about six weeks ago, and D"- B-v ' ' made especial men tion of 2&.t:a. Marion Tucker and srohi'SirrlSiiiall Child Falls in Sixtv-Foot EXHIBIT Al .Meeting Monday Night V. . Or ton Yas Elected Secretary to Succeed W. C. Croell The meeting of the Union County i our.rj .-v-sociai-on on .uoiiuay n;gn was featured by the resignation of Secretary Walter C. Crowtdl, who has filled the po.st for the past two year: in a most satisfactory manner. Mr Crowell's resignation was accented bv the directors only after he had made it p'ain that he found it impossible to devote the necessary time to the work. He was given a vote of thank for his efforts in behalf of the asso ciation and the members all express eit their regret at losing his services, C. V. Orton was elected secretary to fill Mr. Crowell's place and will take over the office immediately, After passing on Mr. Crowell's res ignation, a number of proposed chang es in the program for next winter's show were discussed. It was decided to stage an auction sale of breeding birds on January Sth, the last day of the show, with some of Monroe s well known poultry men filling the roll of auctioneer. The association will charge ten per cent commission for selling the birds, which must be sold to the highest bidder without restriction, This sale will enable the farmers of Union county to purchase standard bred stock from reliable breeders at their own price, and will help the breeders to dispose of surplus breed ing birds without going to the ex pense of advertising them. Membership Thrown Open The directors acted upon a sugges tion to throw open the membership of the association to all residents of I n on county for an annual member ship fee of $1.00, such members to njoy full rights and privileges of the association. Lnder the old sys tern only stock holders of the Asso ciation were members, which prevent ed mar.y peonle interested in poultry troin joining. It is now possible for every person in Inon county inter eted in the breeding of good poultry to become an active member of the association and have a voice in de termining its policy. The secretary was instructed have -50 membership cards printed, and the membership committee, com poses ot 1. P. 1:I on, chairman, u. V, ( aldwe'l, Dr. S. A. Alexander and S. A. Hudson, was appointed to eii'-oh new members. I he association also adopted the resolution instructing the secretary to secure catalogues, price list and literature from the manufac turers of poultry equipment, supplies, remedies, incubators, brooders, eg cases, feed, etc., to be kept on fib at the office for the convenience of the members. This will supply a reliab'e information without loss of time and should render a valuable service. Secretary Orton reported that hi had listed the show dates in the show directory of the leading poultry jour nals and that he was in communica tion with the offic:als of the Par tridge Wyandotte Club with a view to securing the annual meeting for the Monroe show. It was decided to hold a regular meeting monthly of the ex ecutive board on the second Monday of each month and to proceed as rap idly as possible with the arrangement for r.ext winter's show.

There was one of her women friends who had so much faith in her she said, "I'll bet she would say something good about the devil." Her other friends thought surely not of him, so one day they spoke of the old fellow in her presence.

EFFORT ON FOOT FOR HIGH SCHOOL IN EACH TOWNSHIP Pmard rdjratinti Pules That Every H'jh Srhool Student Miim Have Chance to Attend Free ee;:i. hich schools enter accredited list Ha I on; Been Dream of Superin tendent Fundt-rhurk to See Such ( ondiliuns Obtained in the County At a rever.t meeting of the county Hard cf education it wag ordered that any student in the county who graduates from a grammar grade school may attend some high school in the county without tuition charges, any extra expense incurred by such attendance to be borne by the county board of education. The dream of County SuTo.-intenJent Ray Funder- ourx ana tne board of education u to have a high school in every town ship in the our.ty at some near fu ture date, and the probability is that the r dream will be realized, which would give practically every boy and girl in the county an opportunity to secure high school training. Monroe township, it is believed can be successfully taken care of by the high school in Monroe and Wingate, which are standard accredited schools. Marsh vilie h:gh school will enter the accredited list this year, and the addition of a new auditorium and ex tra class rooms which are now under construction will provide ample room for all the h:gh sehool students of Marshville tow; ship, for the present at least. An effort L being mede to make Unionville a standard accredited school, which will nrovide for the students of Goose Creek township in a sa;isfactory manner, Unionville be- ng at Present a verv good hiffh scnooi. Ur.im. in I.ar.ts Creek township, has a splendid building with four class rooms, and two more will be provided by placing slide doors in a oart of the auditorium, which was, before the completion of the Monroe high school building, the largest schojl auditorium in the county. Plans are on fot to make Union a junior high school, to take care of the stud ents of Lanes Creek township. A new auditorium and extra class roon.s are being constructed at Wax haw and that school will this vear be made an accredited standard high school, which will provide accommo dation r '.".e J::cks..n high school students. Wesley Chapel, in Sandy Ridge township, is recognized as a good high school and students from all over the township may attend there free of charge. The building at Prospect, in Buford township, is inadequate but a propo sition is n-jw on foot to issue bonds and build an adequate brick struc ture for a standard accredited sehool in that township. Indian Trail, in Vance township, is rapid'' raising its standard and will e made a good high school for -trdents of that section. The contract will be let tomorrow for a modem brick building vi:.i eight class rooms and a largo au ditorium in Benton Heights. This school lot contains four acres and the school will be a junior high sehool With privileges of sending higher grade students to the Monroe high ihoid. Ti:e Benton Heights building w:!l be duplicated at Indian Trail which v.iil give that sehool ample roi'in. At .M.r..'ii;! Springs there is a five ae' e .,r. on which a six-rumi brick 'ijllditivr has already been wecte-t and :l'.'s m iiool is expected to develop into a standard high school. Thu every town.-hip in the c.v.in'v uiil he provided with a high school, wkh the exception of New Salem, a::d . re 'v. that township will doubt- ! i 'lilt soon at Olive Branch or some n :H'i' convenient location. All ., her schools in the county will !e conducted as strictly grammar grade schools, which will be provided vith good, first-grade teachers. The iasi year the number of second grade 'oachers in the county was reduced from fifty to eight, and it is the pur ose of Mr. Funderburk to eliminate all second-grade teachers this year rcferably by inducing them to at end summer schools and get their eertificates raised.
