MJOK KINGSTON ADDRESSED
LAIUiE GATHERING HERE
Heft ried To the Aftermath Of the
Revival At Goldsboro.
Ma tor John D. Langston, promi
pt' attorney of Goldsboro. address
d 1500 people at the Mangum
uVeVouse Tabernacle Sunday night.
He disclaimed any knowledge of the
n0y but nevertheless he scored ( the
devii'and his works with amazing
e Major Langston spoke of , the
rood works acomplished by the1 , six
weeks revival conducted in Golds
boro recently by Evangelist M F.
Hnm who converted 1200 sinners,
Juickened the spiritual life of 1800
church members and brought the
whole city to their knees. He said
the churches in Goldsboro had be
come as cold as an ice plant, but
since the advent of the spiritual
wave thev are bubbling over with
enthusiasm for the Kingdom of Cod.
He himself, he said, had long been a
member of the church, but not. a
christian. Addressing vicncral
Royster he said: "General, I have
tried many criminal cases, and 1 was
the greatest criminal of them all be
cause of unbelief and lack of faith
in the Master."
Major Langston stated that there
are no blue laws in Goldsboro: that
what appears to be blue laws is the
aftermath of the gv.it lovivaVtvorv
body with one accord preferring to
keep the Lord's day holy. ' Before
the spiritual wave swept over the
city of Goldsboro, declared the
speaker, there were only a few who
attended church '' regularly, but
things have changed and now the
churches are not large enough , to
hold all who are athirst. You will
now find on the streets of Golds
boro. he said, groups of business
men reverently discussing their Lord
and Savior.
Major Langston was the valuable
assistant of Gen. B- S- Royster in the
Adjutant General's office at Raleigh
during the World War.and judging
from his own remarks, it appears
that the Lord laid His hands upon
him since the World War. Turning
to General Royster, he said: "Gen
eral, I well remember how prefunc
tionery I was in shaking the hands
of the boys and bidding them fare
well on their departure for the
World War. I wish that I oould a
gain grasp them by the hand "and
urge them to take the ever living
Christ with them wherever they go."

effort through his attorneys and

THE REMAINS OF AN
UNKNOWN NEGRO REST
IN THE DEAD HOUSE
A, few weeks ago' a negro boy was
found in a back lot here in an un
conscious condition. He could not
talk, and the authorities were puz
zled as to who he was and where he
came from. While the boy was lay
ing ufpon the ground in the rear of
the court house, a colored man pro
fessed to know where the parents of
the boy lived. An automobile was
secured and the boy was taken to a
point in Franklin county where his
parents were supposed to live, but
no one in Franklin county knew any
thing about the boy. He was
brought back to Oxford, and as soon
as he arrived here he jumped out of
the car and disappeared. A week
later he was found in the woods near
Oxford, having torn all the clothing
from his .body. The sheriff gave,
him a pair of overalls and sent him
to the home of Sallie Cousins, in
Camtown, and told her to take care
of the boy until he cauld assertain
his name or where his people lived
The boy died last Saturday without
revealing his identity.
On Monday at noon Sheriff Hunt
stated that if no one claimed the re
mains during the day he would bury
the body.
JOHN SHAW HICKS
FIRES UPON JOHN HAMMIE
The Two Negro Boys Met In Front
Of the Granville WVehouse
Hammie Not Expected To Live.
John Shaw Hicks and John Ham
mie, both colored, met in front of the
Granville Warehouse on .Hillsboro
street at 2 o'clock yesterday after
noon. Without saying a word,
Hicks fired two shots at Hammie,
one ball entering his back near the
left shoulder. There were witnesses
to the tragdy, who stated that as
soon as Hicks saw Hammie fall he
ran up College street.
The wounded negro was taken to
the residence of Dr. Booher, a few
yards from where the shoting took
place. After examining the wound
Dr. Booher said that he feared it
would prove fatal. Later in the af
ternoon he stated that the ball lodg
ed in the lung. The boy was able to
walk from Dr. Booher's residence to
his home in Camtown. .
The colored people would not dis
cuss the tragedy, but it does appear
that the boys had an encounter Sat
urday night over a !game of cards-
The Sheriff and police arrived at
the scene of the shooting a few min
utes after it occurred. They traced
Hicks to the outskirts of town, where
they lost all traces of him.

OXFORD, N. a TUESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1921
DR. JOYNER ADDRESSED
GRANVILLE TOBACCO GROW ERS j
ON COOPERATIVE MARKETING
Waging Campaign To Secure Seventy-Five
Percent Of the 'Crop By
September 1.
The tobacco growers meeting held
in the court house last Saturday was
one of the most enthusiastic meet
ings of farmers ever held in Gran
ville touching the marketing con
tract. -
Mr; Eugene Moss presided, and in
his opening remarks stated that it
is earnestly hoped that the market
ing contract will be put over 75 per
cent strong by the first of Septem
ber. Short Talks.
Mr. John S. Watkins, of Oak Hill,
stated that his township had signed
the marketing contract 95 percent
strong.
Mr. Herbert Faucett, of Sassafras
Fork, said his township is in fine
shape; that the people are in full
sympathy with the marketing con
tract movement; that fully 65 per
cent had already signed, and he made
a strong appeal jto others to sign.
Mr. Glaud L. Allen, of Brassficld,
spoke of the needs and advantages
of cooperative marketing. He stat
ed that 60 percent of his township
had signed the marketing contract,
and appealed to others to sign up.
Mr. W. A. L. Veasey, of Dutch
vilie, stated that his township has
signed up 75 percent strong. He said
the farmers are realizing more and
more the importance of the move
ment to protect themselves-
Mr. R. F. Vanderwalt, ' of South
Africa, who is studying the process
of raising and curing tobacco in this
country, explained the workings of
the marketing contract system of
selling and buying tobacco in South
Africa and declared it a success.
Mr, C- D. Ray and J. W. Horner,
business men of Oxford, expressed
themselves as being in favor of any
movement that will improve the con
dition of the farmers.
Dr. Joyner Talks.
Dr. Joyner, started out by saying j
that he is a dirt farmer. His remark
captured the large audience, and
throughout his entire address the
; farmers regarded him as being a big
strong brother. In sympathetic
terms he told them that they bai
worked hard and had very little, as
a class, to show for their long hours
of toil. He told them that so long
as tobacco is marketed under the
conditions that now obtain that pri
ces will be low and unsatisfactory.
He plead for cooperation between the
farmers and business men. He stat
ed that one-third of the wealth of
the entire country is invested in agri
culture; that the farmers produce
annually twenty-five billion dollars,
which is the largest single force in
the life of the nation. Is it not time,
he asked, for the farmers to organize
their forces to insure a just compen
sation 'for their investment and la
bor? .Hearty Response.
It was stated on the floor that
nearly fifty percent of the farmers,
or, to be more exact, about 850 had
signed up. Following the meeting
more than 100 signed the contract,
said Mr. Moss, and the campaign for
signers is being waged with a view
of securing 75 percent y the first of
September.
BUYERS OF STATE FARM
WANT TO BACK DOWN
Buyers of the State's farm proper
ty in Halifax county are represen
ted as making fresh efforts to sur
render their claims if the State of
ficials call it square. "
It has been an open secret for a
long time that many of the bidders
on the property were finding it ex
tremely difficult to meet the pay
ments which are falling due in one,
two, three and four year install
ments. That the 1921 Legislature
was not called upon to come to the
aid of those citizens who in 1919
bargained for large tracts of the
farm by accepting the land as a
semi-gift surprised many. The buy
ers were then said to have been will
ing to surrender to the State all
claims upon the property if -the State
would wipe the state clean. There
were too . many matters of greater
importance, however, to hold atten
tion and the legislators finished their
business at Raleigh without taking
of ficiar "cognizance of the Halifax
sales. .

Stokes County Man Devours 17232
Gallons Of the Beverage.
Lena Bennett, of Stokes county,
aged 78, claims to be the world's
greatest coffee drinker. He says he
drinks the beverage three times a
day, six cups to the meal on the ave
rage, frequently getting up at night
and' indulging in one or two cups
"I have . consumed coffee on this
scale practically all my life," de
clared Bennett, "with the exception
of a few years when I drank whisky,
averaging a quart a day of this beve
rage." The Stokes farmer figures,
that he has drank no less than 17,

Every person in Granville County
will want to hear the sermons and
lectures by Dr. ( John Rooch Straton
in the Mangum Warehouse Taber
nacle next Sunday and Monday. He
speaks at four o'clock Sunday after
noon on "Fighting Sin in Modern
Babylon." This is his great message
delivered to throngs in Knoxville,
Tenn., last week and in Charlotte
Sunday and at Ridgecrest this week.
On Sunday night he will; speak on
"The Dance o .fDeath," and on Mon
day night "Our Relapse into Paga
mism." These are three of the most
stirring speeches delivered on Amer
ican soil within a quarter of a cen
tury. Dr. Straton comes to Oxford from
New York where he is pastor of Cal
vary Baptist Church.
In writing the program committee,
Dr. Straton said, "I wish you breth
ern to feel that my whole desire is
to serve you in the "cause of righte
ousness in your community. I shall
be much in prayer that God will use
my coming for a great, constructive
good. You had better announce that
thin-skinned people who ,are not
willing to hear plain statements con
cerning the destructive sins of today
had better not plan to attend these
services."
Speaking of one of Dr. Straton's
great sermons the Washington Post
says editorially:
'Great is the power of one coura
geous man. Five concurrent inves
tigations of vice scandals in New
York City are at present in progress
and by one sermon preached on Eas
ter Sunday Dr. Straton, of Calvary
Baptist Church, has done more to
jolt the resorts of iniquity than a
score of official probes could hope
to accomplish in a year. The scenes
which met the gaze of the clergyman
and his friends resembled the orgies
which defiled and disgraced Pagan
Rome in its worst period of corrup
tion, rather than what one would ex
pect to find in a professedly. Chris
tian city in the twentieth century.
TOBACCO NOW AVERAGING

Gorman, prominent tobacconist of
Greenville, writes as follows in the
DailBaRef lector of that town: "I
have a letter from South Carolina
this morning in which they write me
that prices have advanced on all
grades.
"There is much common tobacco
in South Carolina; yet the floor
average is close to 13 cents and all
tobacco is sold ungraded. The fine
and good tobacco is selling well, one
pile of 1 80 pounds sold for 58 cents
and much of it is selling from 30
to 60 cents. 4
"With the light yield in the bright
belt I feel sure that all of our good,
medium and fine tobacco will sell
well; certainly as well or better than
last year." ,

ANNUAL STORY FROM THE
STATE OF SOUTH CAROLINA
The Farmers Are Charged With Be
ing Careless, In Marketing the
Weed. .
The usual story comes from down
South Carolina way. Farmers up in
arms on account of what they
thought were small prices of tobacco
on the. openingsales and indignation
meetings have been called to " give
farmers an opportunity to give vent
to their views as to courses and rem
edies. We remember that last sea
son there was great indignation ex
perienced by farmers and others in
terested. As the season advanced
and as the quality improved and as
general conditions became better, the
clouds passed away and so far as to
bacco prices in 'South Carolina were
concerned, the average prices were
) better than most farmers expected.
The fact is that South Carolina to
bacco farmers are making a serious
mistake in their mode of marketing
tobacco. In. the first place there is
no demand for what is known as
sand lugs or lower primings, and
farmers should not try to save this
kind of stuff. We are forced to be
lieve that tobacco which sells for
not more than 2 cents per pound is
worth more for fefrtilizer than it is
jfor sale on the warehouse floors,
j Another thing is that the 3outh Caro
lina farmers make a serious mistake
in the way they market their tobac
co. Tobacco should be assorted,
graded and placed on the warehouse
floors in a clean, marketable condi
tion. The sooner the farmers of that
section realize the fact the better
it will be. The idea of gathering up
a lot of dirty undesirable stuff, un
graded, in the season is foolish, to
say the least.
We advise patience on the part of
the grower, and we certainly advise
them to pay more attention to the
handling of their crop. Southern

NO. 63
RELIGIOUS WAR At
GOLDSBORO CAUSED BY '
REMARKS MADE $Y REV. HAM
Community Service, Cce the Pride
Of the City, Is Headed For DeU
strnction A a Result Of the De
nunciation Of Evangelist.
Down at Goldsboro they: have had
a revival of re'ligionrwhich' seems al
so to have stirred sectarian animosi
ties and set the town by the ears as
well as converted sinners- The six !
week's meeting was conducted by
Rev. M. F. Ham, and not by Dr. J. W. i
Ham who recently conducted a' two
week's service here. While f here, 1
Dr. Ham scored the gambling "dens,
blindtigers and hell holes in, polished 1
language, but it appears thai the lan- I
guage of Rev. M. F. Hani at Golds- j
boro was regarded as .being entirely f
too extravagant. In - his address !
at the Mangum Warehouse Taber
nacle last Sunday. '- nigt,. Major
Langston spoke of the true condi
tions that prevail in Goldsboro. which
is printed elsewhere on this page,
and differs somewhat from the va
rious newspaper reports of the after
math of the meeting. '"
According to the newspaper re
ports it appears that the community
service and other agencies for social,
and supposedly . for moral better
ment, have been active in Goldsboro
and codially supported by the com
munity generally. The evengelist
attacked the work of the community
service because it functions under
non-sectarian rather than Church
auspices, and its headquarters were
called the "devil's workshop" and a
"hell hole," because tne old-fashion- ,
ed square dance, which is nothing
more than " hands around" as in the
children's days, had been permitted
there. The fact that waltzing and
fox-trotting were not on the pro
gramme didn' help. The word dance
was enough to evoke the denuncia
tion. Even the Red Cross was not
spared because it is non-sectarian
rather than a Church agency; and
Christian Scientists also came under
the ban. In Goldsboro the Jews are
among the oldest residents, some of
them wealthy and leading citizens
who have cordially and liberally sup
ported all community enterprises.
The. sectarian and religious intol
erance aroused, which has resulted
in a dividedcommunity and set folks
to hating each other who had lived in"
peace and amity and co-operated for
what they believed to be community
betterment, will cripple if not de
stroy the comunity service and other
similar agencies, it is said- A big
fund had been subscribed for a com
munity building, with auditorium,
gymnasium and other equipment,
but the divisions in the community
may destroy the whole business.
The Goldsboro, story impresses
one with the conservatism of , state
ment. It says that Mr. Ham reached ;
many who could not be reached in
the ordinary way, and that many
professed conversion. Belief is as-;
gerted that the great majority of the
good people of the community didV
not approve the evangilist's attacks
which have aroused the bitterness
and the divisions. During the meet
ing the Presbyterian pastor, in pub
lic prayer, asked the Lord to keep
the evengelist on the main issue and
to refrain from irrelevant discussion.
Mr. Ham thanked the pastor, saying
the rebuke was timely, but didn't
change his course.
