(.001) LIST FROM WHICH TO
SELECT COUNTY BO
ARD
Dr. Jack Bullock Out For County
Coroner.
With nine good men on the. tick
et for county commissioner, it will
be the fault of the voters if they do
not nominate a strong board at the
June primary.
All of the old board have announ
ced their willingness to serve anoth
er term. Mr. B. I. Breedlove was
one of the last to censent to run. He
was besieged by many friends here
Saturday and consented to put his
nai.ie in the pot.
The four other candidate are:
Former Commissioner T. G. Taylor,
of Oxford, who was solicited by
many business men and fanners to j young Women's Christian
make the race; . Li. iarK, o,He spoke in a forceful m?

the music; Miss Fannie Breusier, tea
cher of piano, presided at the organ,
and Miss Hazel Thompson, of Oxfcrd,
and Miss Mary Barber, of Zebulon,
members of the student body, sang
the offertory.
Dr. O'Kelley used as a text the 13th
chapter of 1 Corinthians, stressing the
last four verses of the chapter:
The Text.
9. For we know in part, and we pro
phesy in part. 10. But then that
which is perfect is come, then that
which is in part shall be done away.
11. When I was a child, I spake as a
child, I understood as a child, I thou
ght as a child; but when I became a
man, I put away childish things. 12.
For now we see through a glass, dark
ly; but then face to face: now I know
in part; but then shall I know even
as also I am known. 13. And now ab
ideth faith, hope, charity, these three;
but the greatest of these is charity.
The Sermon.
Dr. O'Kelley first impressed upon
the young ladies of the graduating
! class the importance of true know
ledge. Many people, he said claim to
know more than they really know ra
ther than to acknowledge ignorance.
Truthfulness, he said, leads to know
ledge, and knowledge is the beginning
of wisdom; that it is not only a plea
sure and a power to know God, but it
is life and death.
Love is the greatest thing in the
world, said Dr. O'Kelley. First of all,
grasp the great truth that "God so
loved the world that He gave his only
begotten Son." We have lived far be- of flowers
low our blessed privilege to know God.
A knowledge of literature is of no
avail if wre know not Christ, the son of
God. Then, how can we learn more of
God? By love, which creates a thirst
for knowledge, and true knowledge
leads to wisdom. . Those who love God
know that He guides their feet.
Dr. O'Kelley stressed the point that
partial knowledge clears the way for
perfect knowledge; that a thirst for
true knowledge leads to a conformity
to God's will, and that wThen we meet
him we shall know Him. Keep these
things in mind and heart so that yours
may be lives of joy and sunshine.

known for some time that Mr. Par
ham would be a candidate, and it is
needless to say that he would make
a most capable representative and
would reflect credit upon Granville
county.
That Mr. Parham is in every way
wTell equipped for public service can
not be denied. He was born on a
Granville county farm and he knows
what work means. He studied at
Horner's School, graduated at Wake
Forest College, and later spent two
years at the Harvard Law School.
After securing license to practice
law he located at Thomaeviiie, m
Davidson county, and by reason of
his high character and splendid at
tainment both as a lawyer and man
he was in 1910, elected to the Leg
islature from that county, which is
usually Republican, and represented
Davidson county in the General As
sembly of 1911Jn an able and most
acceptable manner.
Upon the death of his father, the
late A. C. Parham, he returned to
his native county of Granville and
began the practice of law here. In

ask my fellow citizens to refuse to
be discouraged by despondent pro

there are enough Christian laymen in
it to turn it over and over until it is
right side up for God."
"There is great need of construc

"The fear of the inrush of bolshe

something hysterical."

THE AUTO SMOKE NUISANCE
The Gasos Are Absolutely
Poisonous.
Automobiles, .little and big, fast

trend of gasoline nrice5?. They fill
the streets. Gasoline isn't Avhat it
used to be. Much of it, being of a
base quality, turns readily to smoke.
And we are becoming a community
of smoke-eaters because of the neg
ligence of motor drivers who are
willing to waste good fuel and poison
! the air rather than take five minu
tes off to adjust the mechanism un
der the hood.
Somewhere on the books there is
an ordinance which empowers the
police to arrest and fine any one who
operates a smoking motor vehicle in
the streets. Yet a large number of
drivers daily trail clouds of poison
ous gases behind them in the main
thoroughfares. The smoke law ou
