Points Out Witat Has Been Done
In a Certain Section Of the South
By Merchants and Bankers Boost
ing tite Cow, Hog ami Hen.
Probably everybody in the South
has heard by this time of the "Turnei
County program." the program by
\\hich a poor farming community has
lifted itself unaided out of debt and
despondency into solvency and in
creasing prosperity. The proved sue
cess of this program is of exceptional
interest to Southern merchants, and,
indeed, to ail merchants who do
business in agricultural territories;
for it demonstrates (1) the value oi
diversification and (2) the vaiue oi
cooperation.
It is especially a iesson in what
business men can do cooperatively to
improve the local conditions $n which
the success of their business depends.
For the Turner County program was
not developed by the farmers them-}
selves. It was developed by the!
bankers and merchants of the county j
and sold to the farmers.
Turner is a small county of South!
Georgia, with an area of only 231 j
square miles, an urban population!
of 2576 and a total population of j
12,466. Its largest town, Ashburn,!
has a population of about 2500, and}
its next largest town in Sycamore,!
with a population of 562.^ Except j
for a littie lumbering, it is an ex- j
clusively agricultural county, It}
possesses no particular physical or;
economic advanages. Perhaps it b
less favorably situated than the ave
rage farming community in respect
both to soil and location.^,
Like so many other southern coun
ties, Turner has been a victim of the:
one-crop system. Staking practical
ly everything, gjy cotton It went hrpke
as a result of boil weevil damage and
post-war deflation. Its position at
the start of 1921 was desperate. The
farmers were hopelessly in debt and
altogether broken in spirit, and the
local merchants and bankers suf-j
ferqjfl accordingly. v )
Merchants and Bankers Woke Up
But instead of sitting back and
complaining about their unhappy lot,
the local merchants and bankers de
cided to do something about it. They
had the good sense to realize that
their prosperity was dependent upon
the prosperity of the farmer, and that
in order to help themselves they must
first help t^e farmer. Under the
leadership of George T. Betts, a
prominent banker and business man
of Ashburn. they got together to de-]
vise ways and means of putting the
farmer on his feet.
With the aid of all the information j
they could acquire from every pos-j
sible source, they mapped out what,
seemed^to them a good plan. Then:
they called into consultation farmers:
and all other interested members of
the community, with whom they went,
over the plan in detail, revising it:
where revision seemed necessary.j
Their next job was to sell-the pro-,
gram to the farmers of the county..
This was a tough job. TKe farmers j
were discouraged, skeptical and sus

The Word Christina Should Be,

horrible to us to see Xmas used for}
the word Christmas. None but aj
thoughtless person would do such aj
thing. The News and Observer ex-}
presses our sentiments. It is as fol-j
lows: s
"No matter how far people mayj
fail to keep Christmas aSt the birth-;
day of Christ, it is His festival. In
recent years acme writers and abvei- .
tisers have fallen into the habit of j
! writing it Xmas. If prmeditated this !
use would be ,to say the least, iire-j

MASONS OF THE 20TH !
DiSTRiCT HOLD MEET !
1NG IN OXFORD!
THEBE ABE SEVEN LODGES IN :
GBANVILLE
Adonira, Berea, Siiiloff, Granville.
Tally Ho. Oxford and Creedntoor.
The Masons of the Twentieth Dis
trict held an enthusiastic meeting in
the local lodge last Thursday and Fri
day nights. Deputy Grand Master B.
W. Parham opened the meeting
Thursday night and requested Gen.
B. S. Royster, phst grand master, to
deliver the address of welcome.
Addresses were delivered by Grand
Master Hubert M. Poteat and Educa
tional Field Secretary W. C. Poteat.
Mr. D. G. Brummitt, P. M., intro
duced Capt. B. S. Royster, Grand
Steward of the Grand Lodge, who de
livered an interesting address on
"Washington, the Man and the Ma
son." The Grand Master followed
with an address on "Why Is Freemas
onry," outlining the duties and re
sponsibilities of the members of the
order.
After the secret work was dis
posed of the public was invited to see
the Masonic educational film, "Who
Can Best Work," put on the screen
by Dr. Wicker. This film is a)
graphic Story contrasting the differ- j
ence between men educated by an ap- j
predation of the dignity of labor and j
people who orioneously believe that)
the world owes them a living with
out any effort to be displayed on their
part and who naturally gravitate
through failure of that plan to work,
into disloyalty and dissension.
Friday night's session was devoted
to an address by the Educational
Field Secretary, who set forth the
aims and plans of the educational
program of the Grand Lodge. His
subject was, "The Brotherhood of
Man."
Dr. Wicker has been requested by
the Oxford Masons to make an early
return and to bring his other films.
This he has promised to do and the
meeting is already being planned.
Th3 appearance of the Gf%nd Master
and the Educational Field Secretary
was no doubt a great stimulus to
Masonry here.
BYRUM CONSTRUCTION
CO. BUYS VACANT LOT
Will Enlarge Their Office Building
(hf Uttlejohn Street.
The Byrum Construction Company
a month ago purchased from Mr.' W
T. Yancey the building on Littlejohn,
Street adjoining the Public Ledger!
office. Last week they purchased;
from J. G. and A- S. Hall the vacant'
lot adjoining their building. This
lot fronts 22 feet on Littlejohn street
and extends back 81 feet to the wall
of Hall's Drug Store.
This lot gives the Byrum Con
struction Company a frontage of
feet on Littlejohn street. The ad
dition will go up at once, said Mr.
Leo Byrum. ' ^ .
The new addition links up the tour
buildings on Littlejohn street and
makes it one of the handsomest busi
ness blocks in Oxford.
Does Oxford grow? Less than two
years ago a billboard ad^rm^. e

handsome buildings now stand and

^ the fearless
Chief of Police of Stem, brought in

moramg which he cJptured on the
west side of Bowling Mountain early
last Sunday morning. The moon
shiners had made a "run" during the
night and had just refilled the kettle
when the officer came upon it. *
Capt. Whittaker states that the
manufacturers of moonshine have
adopted Saturday night and Sunday
as the best time to ply their trade.
He said that they hide their liquor
as soon as it comes from the still,
which will help to defray their court
} expense if they are caught. He foUnd
ionly a half pint o fliquor at the still
t last Sunday morning, which was laid
aside by the moonshiners for their
own personal use. He saw two men
at the still, but did not get close
enough t? discern their color.
Capt. Whittaker is of the opinion
that there will be much activity on
the part of the moonshiners from
now until Christmas.

Dr. L. B. McBrayer, superintendent
of the State Sanitorium, who pleaded
i guilty of trading with himself, and
; was fined $50 and ordered removed
from his position by Judge N. A. Sin
clair in Hoke county superior court

Governor Morrison's letter to Dr.
Long follows:
"I do not see how, without a clear
cpt violation of the law of your board
Dr. McBrayer can longer remain at
the head of the institution. The
law cannot be violated by the resig

hig subsequent election. Under the
law he is no longer qualified for the
position which he holdsf in my judg
