John Seymour took the affirmative side of the question and Dr. Kermit Chapman the negative. Mr. Seymour pointed out that arms nn?>nV*no?/> J1?-** mi ilia Jjuiuiiaocu WlUt U1C live billions of dollars recently voted by Congress for National Defense would be almost useless without sufficient men, and sufficient men would be unobtainable without conscription. Mr. Seymour said that another feature of conscription was the fact that compulsory military training would place all types of men in the army whereas under the voluntary method of recruiting, the majority of the men have very little education and consequently are not capable of manipulating the intricate arms and machines of modern warfare. Mr. Seymour said that if the Dictators win they will have under their control approximately one billion people who will be a constant threat to the Western Hemisphere both po litically and economically, and in order to deal wtih them the ; United States will be forced to maintain an army of at least ' one million men which can be 1 had only through conscription. On the negative side of the question, Dr. Chapman staged ' that conscription wa#too much; r not been^ven affair trial and 1 that in conscripting men we J were acting too hastily. Thomas A. Cox made a short talk in which he described the fine way in which industry in ' the South is cooperating with the government in filling orders ' for war materials. ' There were three visitors at the meeting. They were Allan M. Adams, a former member, now residing in Oklahoma; Olln Wil liams, of Lynchburg, Va., and J Sam Mendenhall, president of 5 the Franklin club. President Raymond Sutton recognized Dr. Harold McGuire ' who recently became the father of an eight and one-quarter pound girl. ? i r Hyatt Reunion To Be At Soco Gap Sunday Week r f The Hyatt Reunion, which was t changed from August 4th to Sunday, August 18th, will be held at Soco Gap.

No Air Conditioning On Local Railway Now A few weeks ago, (The Journal * reported that the Southern Rail- * way Company had pjlaced an air- ( " ? m S conditioned coacn on ine xviur- phy line. We took occasion to describe the coach, and to congratulate the Railway Company upon the progressive step. We even stated that we expected an increase in the passenger travel on the railroad. We believe now, from our observation only, that such was the case. But, the air-conditioned coach stayed on but a few days. Then it disappeared from these parts, and has not been seen since. Following that, the complete passenger coach of the old type has been superseded by a mixed coach, which has a partition running through the car, and one end is for white people, the other for colored. The company took a forward step. Then like the frog trying to jump out of the well, it fell back at least : two steps. ; c 1" r , j. ! .

Show Cattle Need Careful Attention The farmer whose animals yin blue ribbons at fall fairs is he one who has seen that no letail has been overlooked in showing them to the best possi)le advantage, says L. I. Case, extension animal husbandman >f State College. The first step in 'eeding and fitting beef cattle "or the show or sale ring is tne ictual selection of suitable aninals. Little will be gained by vasting feed and time on off;ype cattle that will never make i favorable appearance no matter how fat or how well trained ;hey may become. The ideal beef animal, Case explained, is one that is thick, 5locky, and reasonably close to ;he ground. He should be straight in his top, bottom, and side lines, carry an even width from end to end, and be close in the coupling. About 700 deaths occurred last pear in collisions between bi:ycles and motor vehicles. ' ; ! ? -. i * * * I ' 'X. mrnal $2.00 A TEAR IN ADVAN Rev.
