Bowers, pastor of Broadway Baptist Church, Knox- ville, Tenn., will assist the pas tor of the Bantist church in a series of. evangelistic meetings, beginning Sunday, August 22nd. Many of our people will be pleas ed to hear . Mr. Bowers as he was once a resident of our town and has many friends here. Since the McLendon Eavnge listic Campaign has closed and now becomes a part of the his tory of our town and community it is fitting that we should give a few accurate facts as to its re sults and influence upon the community as a whole. I think it can be truly said that this community has never ex perienced so great a spiritual awakening, or had in it a re ligious meeting which gave such universal satisfaction. . With a very few exceptions the writer did not hear or know of any carping criticism. It could not bo expected that any man of God should come into any community for any given time without some criti cism. The Master himself did not escape. Before "Cyclone Mack" came to Rosemary there was mnch speculation as to the Evangelist and the character of his work; and some seem to have fears that he would stir up a "Cyclone" which might disturb the equilih rium of the people. These fears, however, were based mainly up on some experience in connec tion with a former evangelist. Without discussing the merits or demerits of this particular case, we think it fair to say, that it is not wise or just to judge any man, or set of men, by some other man, though they be of the same prohssion. Knowing "Mack" and the character of his work, as we did, we believed that he was ' 'the man of the hour", and that he would bring a great moral and spiritual blessing to the community. And we are glad to know that our belief has been fully vindi cated. And this is not only the opinion of the writer, but hun dreds of men and women are .ready and willing to corroborate these statements. It is proper, also, that men tion should be made of the other members of the McLendon party Mrs. Steidley, formerly of East St. Louis, now of Raleigh, is a woman of rare ability ad Christ ian graces. For a number of years she has been doing religious work among the shops and factories. Her public talks and Bible lec tures, while here, were full of instructions and inspiration. Mr. Carroll, the choir director, and Mrs. Carroll pianist and secretary and treasury of the party, of California, are earnest and efficient workers. "Fred" R. Siebert, superin tend of the tent, and personal worker; and Mrs. Siebert, assis tant pianist and personal worker, also of California, are important assets to the party. Worthy mention should also be made of "Wade", the colored carpenter and tent keeper. As to the finances, we feel this was a great success, if not a marvel for this community. Ap proximately $5000 was raised and paid. This includes the ex penses of the campaign and free will offering to the evangelist.

Largest Summer School In History j The army worm which is bow in Halifax County will not dam age cotton, but will eat grass, young ccrn, millet, sorghum and other plant3 of the grass family. This caterpilla starts its work down in the Gulf States, and gradually works its way north ward, arriving in this state later in the season. Poisoning with arsenate of lead and Paris green will help control the pest. Spraying the poison in solution with water is the best method, though dusting it on the fields while dew or oth er moisture is on the leaves will kill considerable numbers of the worms. The following propor tions of poison should be used. One pound of powdered ar senate of lead to 50 gallons of water. This solution is best for corn, as it will not burn the lea ves like Paris green will. Where powdered arsenate of lead can be secured this is far the safer material to use. Even two pounds to 50 gallons of water will be alright. In using Paris green, wkich should not be used on corn, 1 pound of Paris green, and four parts of freshly slaked stone lime, should be used to 50 gallons of water. Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Hockaday left this week for Richmond and Washington. Misses Ruth and Viola Glover returned home Saturday from Henderson and Goldsboro. Mr. Millard Merritt. of the U. S.

LOCAL 1 1 R0SEMARY-R0AN0KE RAPIDS DEFEATS KELFORD Chapel Hill, N. C. August TheJ largest summer school in the history of the University and of the State was formally closed August 5, and the great majority of the nearly 1,200 students left Chapel Hill for their homes. A number of teachers who took state examina tions for teacher's certificates re mained two days longer. Still at the University, how ever, are more than a score of social workers whose course in the public welfare institute will not be finished until the first week in September, and some 50- odd students in the summer law school who will be there until the end of the month when they go to Raleigh to stand the bar examination. Justice William R. Allen, of the state supreme court, is assisting in putting the final polish on the young lawyers, one of whom is a woman, Miss Katherine Robinson, of Fayette ville. She won the Callaghan law prize this spring at the University. In a few days another school will be started, a' ten days' in structional period for the 40 field agents of the state com munity service bureau under the direction of W. C. Crosby, and partly overlapping this group, the field agents of the state de partment of education who, under the direction of Miss Elizabeth A mash made up as follows, may be used with good results, especially on lawns, and places where no sprayer is available. 50 lbs. bran, 6 finely chopped lemons, 2 gallons of cheap mo lasses, 2 lbs. of powdered arsen ate of lead, or some other arsen ate poison, together with two or three gallons of water, all mixed to a soft mash and scattered over the grass or other vegetation. If the caterpillars are very numerous and are advancing to other fields, a deep furrow should be made across their line of ad vance so that the worm will be caught in this, and later killed by dragging a log up and down the furrow. Post holes dug at inter vals along the furrow will serve as additional traps, into which the worms will fall, after crawl ing along the furrow. A little kerosene Doured over them will put them out of business. The caterpillars will at times disappear, they having gone into the ground an inch or two to change to a moth. At this time a shallow cultivation, if possible will destroy a great many, and si prevent so many moths from coming out and laying more eggs for another crop of caterpillars By all means a close watch should be kept on the gra33 etc. so that the caterpillars will be discovered early, and controlmea sures taken at once to stamp them out.

With steady pitching and steady hitting by the whole Roanoke Rapids-Rosemary club the strong Kelford team met its Waterloo on last Saturday on the local field in Rosemary to the tune of 9-2. It was just to much Holden and Cannon that was the undoing of the undefeated Kel ford nine. Holden slashed out two singles, one double and lift ed the pill over the left wall for a circuit smash with two men on in the eighth. Cannon connected 'or two sincdes and a double in five trips to the rubber. The game started off with snap and pep, the first three men that faced Shields were easy outs and Hoggard fanned the first two men who faced him and caused the next to pop up. Roa noke Rapids-Rosemary drew first blood in the second when Ruth slashed a hot one thru short too hot for Jenkins to handle, then a stinging single by Holden and two errors by Hall and Taylor re spectively allowed the local team to net three runs. Both teams nlaved air tight ball until the sixth when Kelford brought hope to her aspirants by scoring two runs when Hoggard, the first man up, slammed one against the fence, Hall following with a double to right and two sineles bv Acree and Shoulses Shields tightened and fanned the next two batters. The locals scored aeain in sixth when Branch was given a life on first, Wall's fumble and Cannon's two base hit to center. The game was put on ice in the seventh when the whole local team batting around batted 'Kelford's" Hoggard all over the field. A double, three sin gles mingled with two errors called up the score six. It was the eighth that sent the Kelford team to the dug out. Ruth and Zollicoffer were safe on two er rors, then at this period Hollowell and Hoggard held a caucus to keen Holden from getting his accustomed hit. It was nothing to their advantage for the first ball that Hoggard threw came into direct contract with a big black "swatter" swung by Hoi den. The bull did not succeed in eettingover twenty feet from the ground but it landed just ten feet acrossthe road. Ruth and Zollicoffer raced home ahead of Holden. The ninth was easy outs for Shields. Shields allowed 7 hits and Hoggard 14. Hall and Hog gard featured at the bat for Kel ford. The largest crowd of the sea son saw the game and people from the surrounding country came to see a good game and they receiv ed their money's worth. The wo teams are going to play again on next Saturday August 21. Come out and see Weldon and the locals tie up this Saturday. Miss Eva Holland, of Hobgood, is visiting Mrs.J L. L.
