It is evi dent, however, that their souls, had dwelt in the flowery kingdom long before the planting was done. When the parkways were being laid out in the middle of the streets, and the cement and curbing placed around them, there were not a few men in Oxford who objected to "pay ing taxes for any such foolishness." It will be remembered that the prop ertyholders on College street were importuned to have a parkway in the center of their street, extending from the intersection of Hillsboro street to the Oxford orphanage. "It will be bad enough," said a well-known citizen, "without creat ing a place in the middle of the street for the propagation of jimson weeds and cockleburs." tect that the road scraper fills the holes with soft dirt, which appears io have a smooth surface and when the wheels of a . car or buggy strikes it at a moderate rate of speed the sudden jolt of the vehicle throws the occupants in the air. j Those who are familiar with road work say that the holes should be till ed and the dirt packed in good and tight befora the scraper passes over it. Some people don't know the dif ference between a good road and a bad road, as was demonstrated here the other day. Two men .ame over the same road in different cars, the first man arriving here a few minutes ahead of the second car. He stated that the road was as smooth as the streets of Oxford. The second man said that the road was in a deplorable condition, and the two men accused each othr of not knowing what they were talking about. The roads around Oxford are not as smooth as they were this time last year, which is accounted for by the fact that the road force has been en gaged in other parts of the county ten months out of twelve and thei THE METHODIST WOMAN'S MISSIONARY CONFERENCE OF NORTH CAROLINA !

There were three hundred dele gates to the convention and at least that number of visitors daily from the country and nearby towns.

There were ten automobile acci dents, or near accident, in Oxford last Sunday, and all of them occur red on wide streets, or on streets that have no parkways. THE NINTH GRADE ENJOYS AN OUTING In the afternoon of Friday, May the seventh, the members of the Ninth Grade of Oxford High School, enjoyed a most delightful picnic.

DISTRICT ODD FELLOWS GATHER AT RALEIGH Mr. Marshall Characterizes Church As "One of The Anchors of the Re public," But Warns Against Med dling Into Politics As Field For Reform. j Washington, May 13. Dr. J. D. Gambelle, of Fort Worth, Texas, was unanimously selected president of the Southern Baptist Convention. Vice-President Marshall, in an ad dress opening the convention charac terized the church as "one of the an chors of the republic," but warned againrt entry of the church as an organization into politics. Mr. Marshall was introduced to the convention by Dr. Gambrelle, who told the Vice-President that the Baptists came from a land of much water, where Democrats and Bap tists went together. "I have been greatly shocked to learn that Democrats and water went together, but there is nothing between you and me save a little wa ter," responded the Vice-President, who is a Presbyterian.

In 1859 (when 1 first knew it) the Methodist church of Oxford was a small, unpainted frame building, situated on the corner lot later own ed for many years by Dr. Graham Hunt and facing Spring Street. It willj had no porch or vestibule, but one f straight aisle from the door at one end to the pulpit at the other. There were hard, uncomfortable benches, no pews. On the right side sat the ladies, on the left the men. The pul pit was a regular high, old fashioned 111. i aiiair, wun steps going up ana a door to shut in the preacher when he had entered. No choir greeted his coming in, no ushers looked af ter the seating of the people. During the Civii War the ladies gathered in the church to sew for the soldiers and used this closet pulpit as a depository for their baskets ot dinner. One wood stove furnished insufficient heat in winter, so in reai cold weather the members worship ped with other denominations. A row of windows with small panes of glass and narrow blinds, and a win dow back of the pulpit supplied the light. Out doors at the south end a of j young minister had been buried, whose remains were afterwards transferred to our Elmwood ceme tery. ... A wooden fence enclosed the lot, for it was in the days before the no fence law came. Our beloved Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Hays were then bridegroom and bride, newly married, March 23rd, he, Superintendent of the Sun day School which position he faith fully held for forty years she, a teacher, later teacher and organist both the greatest helpers our Me thodist church ever loved and hon ored. Hundreds of Horner School boys came under their influence and now rise up to call them blessed Messrs. R. W. Lassiter Sr., Lewis K. Wiley, William Crabtree and Miss Lucy Ballard, inmate of the home of Judge Gilliam, were among its old est members, and an old widow who wore a straw poke bonnet with a frill, and a flat bow of gray ribbon on top, had palsy lived in a two room log house in the corner of the lot on which is now Col. Ballou's handsome residence. Between Sun day School and church services the children would run over there for water and flowers. Ministers gave out two lines of a hymn at a time without a musical in strument, and sang such-hymns as: "Show pity, Lord, Oh! Lord for give." "Amazing grace, how sweet the sound." "Father I stretch my hands to Thee." - Protracted meetings were held and the mourners' bench often filled, converts received into membership on a six months probation. In 1868 a new church, some what mere pretentions, was built where Miss Lela Routon's house now stands. Dr. Moran, of Wilmington, preached its dedication sermon. In 19 the present church, wr.s erected and dedicated by Bishop Granberry. Some of the pastors have been Rev. 'Gannon, Tillett, Betts, Boone, Hoy le, Hurley, McCullen, Tittle, Bum pass, Gibbons, Shamburer, Massey, Willis, Tyre and Dr. Craven. It now has a large membership, a beautiful brick structure, a fine Carnegie pipe organ, owns a memori al building which has many conveni ences and is as "a city set on a hill which cannot be hid." Summary Carolina Showing. Raleigh bread crop of Conditions In North Makes Rather Gloomy May 12. "Our primary is threatened with the tremendous reduction of 34 per cent from lait year," announces the North Carolina Cooperative Crop Re porting service. "The winter wheat acreage to be harvested in the Uni ted States is more than 30 per cent less than last year. "The North Carolina crop shows about two per cent abandonment with a condition of 88 per cent, on an acreage of 12 per cent less than last year and 90 per cent of the us ual. "The United States present -acreage of hay crops estimated to be the same as least year, with a good con dition, and reports show 10.5 per cent of lest year's crop now remain ing on farms. The North Carolina estimates indicate a six Der cent re duction in the acreage of hay, with a 90 per cent condition of the pres ent growing crops. Sixteen per cent of our last year's hay was reported on May 1st as remaining on farms. "Three-fourths of the plowing has been finished with but half of the entire planting work done in this state. It is not wise to mention to farmers just now anything about the eight hour day. "The farmers' sternous and long hours of work are helping to over come the shortage and indifference of the labor remaining on farms, which is 30 per cent short of usual. "The weather conditions for April were generally adverse for the best prpgress of farm work, as the soil was too cold and wet for the best preparation for or growth of seeds that were planted." MEMORIAL DAY KEPT ALRTE BY THE FAITHFUL FEW People Are Getting Too Far Away From This One Sacred Day. It is distressing to see the little at tention that was paid to Memorial Day this year throughout the south. The Charlotte Observer says: "The surviving members of the Confederate Veterans Association still stand faithful with the Daugh ters of the Confederacy in the sad dened pleasures of Memorial Day the pilgrimage to the veterans mon ument, the decoration of graves and the recounting of deeds of valor in the days that tired men's souls. It has seemed to us that the country has been getting too far away from this one day sacred in the hearts of the people of he South. But tor the closing or Tne banic doors, as re quired under the State hoMday law, the business world seems to take but little token of the day.

They have lapsed into mom entary forgetfulness of the day and what it means to the traditions of the South. If the observances is now regarded as the province of a dwindled body of veterans, what is to happen when these veterans are gone? Manifestly, the task of keep ing alive the day and its memories is one which is to be handed down in successive processes of time veter-i ans to daughters and from daugh ters to children."

DEVIN IN HIGH FAVOR IN BERTIE His Most Important Function. "An editor is a man who , puts things in the paper, isn't he, pa?" "Oh, no, my son; an editor keeps things out of the paper." Mr. Robert Crews, the fine brother of Messrs. Elbert and Walter. Crews, who sailed for China five years ago with Mr. Joe Hunt and other young men to engage in the cultivation of tobacco, arrived at home last week. In the trip to China, Mr. Crews sailed from San Francisco, and on his return home he landed at the port of Halifax, Novascotia. Life in China seems to have agreed with Mr. Crews. He returns tojus with rosy complexion and clear eyes. Although every copy of the Public Ledger was mailed to Mr. Crews' ad dress in care of the British Tobacco Company, Shanghai, all of the copies did not reach him, which is accounted for by the interruption of mail ser vice during the world war. Though somewhat ancient, Mr. Crews states that Shanghai is a very pleasant city with modern improve ments. There are a sufficient num ber of Americans and English resi dents in the American section of the; city to make social life worth while, said Mr. Crews. One of the sad experiences of Mr. Crews trip abroad was the death of his friend. Mr. Joe Hunt, who sailed on the ship with him and was for several months his bosom companion. The British American Company asked Mr. Crews to attend to the bu rial of Mr. Hunt. A nice tablet marks the resting place of this noble son of Granville county in the city cemetery at Shanghai. Mr. Crews will return to China about the first of July, and it is bare ly possible that he will take an Amer ican bride with him. Under the new bonus bill compen sation for home service is reduced from $1.25 to $1 for each day of ser vice while payments for foreign ser vice remain at $1.25 a day. Pay ments would be made for service from April 6, 1917, to July 1, 1919, under the new bill instead of from April 6, 1917, to January 1, 1920, as under the pending measure. Payments of the cash bonus would begin April, 1 1921, and be contin ued in 12 quarterly installments. The four options for the cash bonus home or farm aid. paid up insur ance and tuition for education would have a 40 per cent increase in value over the cash bonus, under the substitute measure, instead of being determined on a basis of $1.75 a day for each day of service. The plan of reclamation of land so as to provide farms was changed in the substitute bill to eliminate the $1,000 loan and also to reduce the authorization for carrying out the scheme from $300,000,000 to $250,- 000,000.

Devin, of Oxford, has just closed a very satisfactory term of court here. A large volume of bus iness was dispatched and his rul ings were just and impartial and his conduct of the court most satisfac tory. , In response to calls he addressed the Betterment Club, and on Me morial Day he spoke at the dedica tion exercises. Both of these ad dresses were of a high order and our people were much delighted to hear him. If his name was on the pri mary ballot there is but small doubt of how the people of Bertie would vote foT one supreme court judge. F. D. WINSTON. THE W HD?PORWILL AND CORN PLANTING TIME The whipporwills are cinsing these nights, and this means according to many of our older citizens, corn planting time. But many farmers we learn have already finished plant ing corn, and they are now ready for their tobacco crops. Tobacco next fall may btf high, or it may be low, but the safe thing for the farmers is to be sure that they have corn en ough in the ground before the sea son i3 over to satisfy their wants for man and beast next fall.
