Covington, a Bap tist house of worship was erected in the village of Moiiroa, seventy years ago. It stood on- the eminence which is within the present enclosure of the cemetery and was built'at a cost of about live hundred dollars. "In this building the Monroe Bap tist church was 'organized on Friday, October 22! 1852. Nne persons four males and five females went in to the organization: D. A. Covington, James Benton. J. V. Griffin, G. Aus tin, Susan A. Covington, Margaret Rihh. and Martha Griffin. Our pres ent membership is above 500. The nresbvterv which officiated at the ponstitution of the church was com posed of Elders. J T. Copeland, Solo mon Snider, Elam C. Williams, and Wi1v Blackmon. "The records of the church from its organization ; until 1880 have been misplaced, lost or destroyed, and the lacts here given concerning mis pe riod were furnished by Mrs. Susan A Covington, about the year 1896, the only one of the original members then living. - - .

Ihe present site was then -secured and in the spring of 1878 the corner stone of the new build'ng was laid. This was com pleted the following year, J. E. King, then pastor, working in person on the house and making the pulpit him self. The total cost of the structure, outside of the work given by the brethren, was $4,500. The dedication sermon was preached the first Sun day in December, 1879, by Dr. T H. Pritchard. At 10:15 p. m. May 28, 1885, the church caught fire from Plyler's store and was burned. Itwas a total loss, there being no insurance. The present building, begun in the fall of 1885. was completed in the ear ly part of 1886 at cost of $6,000. Notable Day in Its History "While it was in course of erection, the church worshipped for six weeks in the Episcopal Hall and for the rest of the time in the hall over bee Ste vens' store. This was during the pas torate of D. M. Austin. In 1893 chairs were placed in the church at a cost of $450. "During W. P. Watson's pastorate, in 1904, the Sunday school annex ad joining the auditorium, ' the ladies' parlor, and a large Sunday school roome were added. Whil ethis work was under way our church, at the , most srraeious invitation of the Pres byterian and Lutheran congregations, held its services in their meeting bouses dividing the time between them. The church was reopened on the first Sunday in March, 1905, with annrooriate , and inspiring services. "The day was perfect and every in fluence combined to make it a day no table in the history of the church. "Dn J. W.

BANK DECLARES x 1001JVIDEND And the Book Value of Waxhaw Banking & Trust' Company Stock Remains at $165 A hundred per , cent stock dividend was declared Wednesday by the di rectors of the Waxhaw" Banking & Trust Company without touching the surplus fund, a record seldom equal ed in banking circles of the country, local bankers state. - When the directors of the ihstita tion assembled in Waxhawy a town the condition of the bank was stated as follows: Capital, $25,000; surpltrs, $25,000; and undivided profits, $36, 000.' After declaring the stock divi dend, 'the officers of the bank were instructed to pay the increased issue of stock of $25,000 out of the undivid ed profits. That left the condition of the bank as follows: Capital, $50,000; surplus, $25,000; and undivided pro fits, $11,000. The book value of the stock, therefore," is v approximately $165 per share. Since iis establishment sixteen years ago, the bank has paid an an nual dividend ranging from ten to twelve per cent; and, according to Messrs. R. A. Morrow and Dr. J. M, Helk, who were promoters of the in- sitution when both had Interests in 1 Waxhaw, it has never lost a dollar, Credit for the remarkable showing goes largely to Mr. Jesse A. Williams, who has be?n cashier since the bank was foundad. A resolution expressing '.heir appreciation to him and Mr. Ma:sey, the president, for their cap able management was passed by the d. rectors. Mr. k. A.

Art interesting aftermath -of the Methodist Uonterence, held here in October, developed Wednesday in the hearing before Mr. . w. Thomas, referee in the matter of N. D. Salee- by vs. J. B. Miller. My. Saleeby is seekin gto collect damaged in the sum of $1,000 from Mr. i Miller, the loss he alleges he sustained by failure to secure the pos session of the building which he had leased, and temporarily used by the defendant as, a barber shop, in time to feed delegates to the conference. Six hundred dollars is the amount he claims he lost through his inability to play . host to the visiting ministers, the? balance .representing his profit m the. ordinary course of the business he woul4 have done had he been in possession of the building. Mr. Thomas has reserved his de cision until he finds the opportunity to look up several legal aspects of the case, especially the statue bearing on "speculative damages," under which provisions the loss the plaintiff al leges he sustained by being prevent ed from boarding the preachers falls. ir History of the Case The building figuring in the inter esting case is the new Houston struc ture facing the court house. The two store-rooms in the downstairs i part was leased by Mr. Saleeby two years ago, He used one of them as a cafe and rented the other to Mr. Clayton Collins for a barber ship, "by the rent," he claimed. Later Mr. Collins sola his shop to Mr. J. B. Miller. During the early part of the fall MxSalby ' aold, . hkeasA.jMiu. theJ room he occupied, together with his soda founta n, to a new concern, the r underburk-uamble Drug Company, intending to move his cafe into an adjoining room. Notice , had already been" given Mr. Miller to vacate with in thirty days under .pain of having his water and lights cut off, but when the drug company took possession of their lease, Mr. saleeby found him self with cafe fixtures on his hands with no stand, Mr. Miller '. refusing to vacate, They went to court with the case, Mr. Miller stoutly maintaining that Mr. Collins, from whom he bought the barber shop, had assurred him that Mr. baleeby had rented the buildine to him "as long as you want it." there Mr. Saleeby was. He had agreed to feed one hundred and fifty ministers during the conference. He had the equipment, he was perfectly willing to carry out his part of the bargain, but he lacked a strand. Ihe cdurt came to his rescue. But it vvSis too late. The- conference had already adjourned. Now he wartts Mr. Miller to pay him fror the loss of $1,000, which he sflys he sustained by his inability to help feed the preachers. .. What the Others Took In Mr. Saleeby's books, exhibited the hearing, showed that he had been making $400 a month, Various oth ers who aided m feeding the preacn eri testified to their earnings to as sist the court in arriving at the dam ages. The Baptist ladies took in $1,600, Mr. Thomas was told, half of v.hich was profit. The Methodist la d'es took in $1100, $500 of which was profit. Mr. W. G. Nash, proprietor of the DeLuxe cafe, took in about $400. His profit, he stated, was about 25 per cent. Mr. Saleeby, however, claimed that he made 40 per cent profit. J. v The big profit made by the women was explained by free donations of sugar and coffee and free help, giv ing their me free to the serving and management of the conference enterprise. Mr. Miller, through his attorney, Mayor J. C. M. Vann, denied any li ability, declaring that under the law one Could not collect speculative dam ages; j-: Since one hundred and. fifty dele gates had been assigned to him to feed at 75 cents per meal each, Mr. Saleeby thinks he would have taken in an amount considerably in excess of a thousand dollars.

W. Lemmond Tells What He Is Going To Da With "His Pile." y Possibilities of erreat wealth are see in the construction of an ihter urban line in Union county by Mr. R. w. .bemmond, clerk' of the superior court "While the, more practical minded may discount the scheme, I am convinced," he said yesterday, '"that a line belting the county and connecting with Charlotte, Pageland. Marsnvuie and possibly Wadesboro would pay big dividends. At least when I make my 'pile' I am going to give serious consideration to the idea." Mr. Lemmond 's plan would call for line from Monroe to Mint Hill. thenc? to Unionville, then to Olive Branch, whence to Marshville. thence through Lanes creek and Buford to Waxhaw, thence to Weddington and Mint niil, where the line would aeain connect with the Monroe branch. : "l Wouldn't confine my business to carrymg passengers, he continued. but would haul fertilizer, produce. and cotton. J know the farmers of Un ion jcounty would oay me ten cents for the privilege of riding to Monroe and a small charge for doing their hauling. I'd develop business all along, create market for hogs and through a subsidiary marketing bu reau, handle cnxkens and eggs." "But wnat about our roads, Mr. Lemmond;" the writer asked. "You surely would not abandon them." "Well," Mr. Lemmond replied smil ingly, "my project would at least rid the county of a mud tax." A County-Wide Telephone System While Mr. Lemmond's plan may be a day-dream, the late Mr. W. H. Nor wood had a big ambition along this line for Union county ,that would have returned a big profit in dollars ' and cents, It was a county-wide telephone exchange with one switch-board. The telephone of every subscriber in the county would be connected with the board at Monroe, and instead of call ing up an exchange to secure a party on the line, all one would have to do would be to ascertain the number of the particular party, regardless of where he lived in the country, and call him. ithrougk.MQJirj)e, , The same unexcelled . serviee 'that prevails in Monroe -would be given the rural subscribers no buzzing or humming for a nominal sum, say a dollar or a dollar and half per month. Mr. Norwood talked over the plan with a number of leading far mers. All of them agreed that they would be glad to pay this price for good telephone service. Not Like the Good Old Days : Bank resources of Union county al most approximate those of the halcy on days of 1918 and 1919, but money isn t so plentiful that it goes peg ging for a borrower. At one time dur ing those days some of the banks are said to have seriously considered re fusing to accept funds for time-de posit. Mr. J. E. Stack tells an amusing in cident that occurred around about ihis period. "Mr. Chaney, cashier of the Bank of Wingate," he said, "called me up and asked :f I wouldn t like to Bor row $10,000, more of less, the exact figure having escaped my mind, and oi. my stating that I did not need any funds at the time he lamented: "Mr, Stack', if some of you fellows don't be gin to borrow a little money i am just going to be foi-ced to refuse to accept time deposits." .

ROLL WEEVIL MY OST COUNTY OVER MILLION DOLLARS County Agent Broom Warns of Danger of Reduction in Yield of Five Thousand Bales CALL UPON FARMERS TO MAKE ORGANIZED FIGHT Business Men, Too, Must Aid in the' Fight If They Want to Be Spared Financial Disaster In a Lengthy Statement He Gives the Simplest and Most Effective Methods of Fighting the Pest Georgia Farm er Gives His Experiences. Unless the farmers and business men become aroused to the danger, Union county now stands to lose a million and a half dollars this year' through boll weevil damage, accord- : ing to Mr. T. J. W. Broom, county agent. Po nting to the disastrous ex perience of Lancaster county, which utfered a cut yield of over ten thousand bales in two years, Mr. Broom warns those who have been prone to reirard the boll weevil men ace lightly that there is a likelihood of Union s cotton crop being reduced to rive thousand bales. The couiuy u.,eht calls upon the , I people to organize by school districts to tight the jnsid ous cotton ioe. "It f. is our brain and brawn against a boll weevil's bill," he says. k Georgia Man s Warning 4 I In conversing with a Georgia J farmer a few week's ago," Mr. Broom ' said yesterday, "I was askedthe num ber of bales of cotton we mde in 1922. Upon being told that we would get about twenty-five thousand bales, he repr.ed, The boll: weevil has not hurt you yet.' 'About five thousand bales,' we replied. 'They will reduce you to five thousand," he said. I re- ; plied i; that 1 did not believe, it. Neither did we, but they did just the - same, and we are as high and dry as you are." To this I replied, that sit uated as he was, in the red hills of Piedmont, Ga., such reduction, as the result of boll weevil devastation, was avoidable had the farmers done as they should have done. He agreed with me that it could have been avoid- i ed farmer. t4)k-warning and rvj4 marked, 'BUt? I have observed the boll weevil and the attitude of farmers towards i: from Mississippi this way, k -,;v and I have not yet : seen a section where the farmers have taken warn- ' ing and put into operation measures to avert catastrophe. It takes. two years of being knocked clean out of the box by the boll weevil to get the cotton farmer to the point where he . is willing to make the necessary changes in his system of farming and . do the things that are necessary to prow cotton under weevil conditions.' To this I replied, that I believed our farmers would take warning and put up the fight necessary to win. 'I am going to watch your county and see what condition you are in two years from now,' he said. ' Many Farmers Asleep Since the above conversation, I have talked wiih farmers from various sec tions of the county, and find that while some farmers are preparing to put up a fight, a large number are inclined to take the weevil menace lightly, I have been told so many times lately that the majority of farmers would do nothing in the way : of putting up a fight, that I am be ginning to think that perhaps my Georgia friend is right after all. "We need to get aroused, decide up a coun ty wide plan of procedure, and pre pare for cotton.' Farmers, bankers, business, and professional men, we cannot afford to occupy a position of v passivity and let the weevil walk rough shod over us. We can and muse avert the calamity that threat en' It is our brain and brawn against a boll weevil's bill. The boll weevil is going to use his bill to our undo.ng, unless prevented by brain and brawn. Cotton growing by the easy-go-lucky method is a thing of the past. Those who fight will grow : cotton successfully. It is up to us to fight and win, or surrender and quit. The potato growers have the potato beetles. They are fighting and win ning. The fruit growers have the San Jose scale. They have not given up, but on the other hand are grow ing more and finer fruit than ever. The tobacco grower has insects and worms to contend with, but he fights, and wins. The cotton plant has long been free from insect troubles, but the time has now arrived when we will have to fight if we are to.be sue cessful cotton growers. Col ton is now being grown successfully under boll weevil conditions. If others are ' . succeeding, we can too. Effective Methods "The follow ng is a synopsis of the best method? that have been employ ed m controlling the boll weevil: "(1) Plant fewer acres, not more' than five to seven to the plow. "(2) Prepare the seed bed early. Thia is important so that the- land may be well settled by planting time. "(3) Plant early fruiting varieties, varieties which while . setting fruit " early will continue to set fruit throughout the season. Wannamak er Cleveland, Mexican Big Boll, and Lightning Express, are recommended for this section. - . "(4) Plant early, but not too early. We believe that th best date to "tent on most Soils of the countv is April 25th to :MaV 1st, The lighter soih? can be plan. ed earlier.
