Children have reason to recognize
their potentiality in an academic
way when it is stated that the
school gardens cared for by the chil

We need each other's help. We
need the consecrated parent as much
as we need the consecrated teacher.
In the name of our children and in
the name of Him who trusted them
into our care let us stand shoulder
to shoulder in the great work of
education, ever onward, ever up
ward. The Albemarle Enterprise says,
Senator Overman will be re-elected,
not for any one great triumph of
his, but for his years of honest,
disinterested service for State and
nation. There has been no "fuss
and feathers' about his course, but
his record speaks for itself. Surely
his critics needs not try to bring
about his defeat by the puerile tac
tics they are now pursuing.
It is a well known fact that col
ored or white labor on the farms is
getting to be a thing of the past.
The farmer of today is up against
a proposition in that respect. It is
almost impossible to secure enough
help outside the family to house the
ci ops. The time is at hand when
Granville farmers will have to do
away with hired farm labor and go
to using machinery. A large num
ber of them are gradually coming
to that now.
Many inquiries have come in to
Gov. Craig the past few days as to
whether or not he will actually go
out on the public roads Nov. 5 and
6, North Carolina good roads days,
and do personal work on the roads.
He says it is certainly his intention
to do so, and he is confidently ex
pecting that the people generally
will follow his example and that a
far stride in road building will be
taken the State over on these two
days.

Put Congressmen in Jail.
President Huerta,of Mexico, did
not want any Congress, so he put
the Congressmen in jail, and made
himself law-giver and dictator says
an exchange. President Menacol,
of Cuba, could not get his Con
gressmen to meet in extra session
to pass a revenue act. President
Wilson, of Uncle Sam, needs Con
gress and is doing his best to keep
it in session as it is the only law
maKing body for a Bepublic of one
hundred million population, This
is a strictly constitutional govern-
exnment and the Amercan President
knows he ia powerless unless the
representatives of the people and
the States will co-operate with him.
machinery exhibits were very large.
The attendance each day was
good and the people enjoyed the
varied (amusements as well as the
horse races.
The addition of 18 acres and new
concrete barns for cattle, horses,
sheep and hogs at a cost of $10,000
makes it one of the finest fair
grounds in the South.

The Books of The Bible.
Do you know how many books
there are in the Bible? You once
knew but you have forgotten? Let
us tell you one good way to remem
ber, so as never to forget. First,
write down the words, "Old Testament."
Now, how many letters are in the
word "Old ?" Three. How many
in the word "Testament?" Nine.
Put three and nine together and
you have 39 the number of books
in the Old Testament.
Next, write down the ' words,
"New Testament."
There are also in "New" and
"Testament" 3 and 9 letters. Now
multiply 3 by 9 and you have 27
the number of books in the New
Testament.
Of course by adding 39 and 27
you have 66 the number of books
in the Bible.
Any boy or girl who will read
this over twice will never forget
how many books are in the Bible.
mington Star. Publicity for their
town means that their purpose is
to attract others there to assist in
promoting the development and
growth of the town. That should
be the purpose, for it is mighty
hard to attract newcomers to a town
that has not done something for it
self. .
When a town's own people erect
handsome business houses and at
tractive homes and establish manu
facturing industries that increase
the evidences of thrift and enter
prise, they will have something to
show newcomers who may be in
duced to come and look the town
over. The best way to attract and
impress visitors is to make a town
look like a veritable hive of indus
try. When a town's people show
their confidence in their own town
and give it an air of prosperity
through their own energy and en
terprise, that is "the first evidence
of a live town." In fact it is the
ground work of publicity, for they
will have a town that will be worth
advertising.

The State Fair.
The fifty-third annual State Fair
opened in Raleigh Tuesday with a
large attendance, the address be
ing delivered by Governor Craig.
The enlargement of the grounds and
equipment and large exhibits make
it one of the very best fairs yet
held. Never before has the State
Fair had as extensive and complete
agricultural exhibits and exhibits
of horses, cattle, sheep and hogs,
along with the varied industries of
the State. The automobile gand
Eager for Publicity.
Southern towns are eager for pub
licity and the fact that practically
every city, town and hamlet is anx
ious to make itself known abroad
is strong evidence that their citi
zens recognize their merits and are
convinced of the resources and
adaptibilities of their respective
sections. It has been said that the
"first evidence of a live town is
that its people get together to ad
vertise its many great advanta
ges to outside world," but that
isn't the first evidence of a live
town. It might be "exhibit two"
or something like that, for the first
evidence of a live town is that a
town's people unite to build up their
own townathemselves, says the Wil-
