THE RECORD is Your Paper—Are You its Friend? VOLUME 1. NUMBER 37 EDITOR TELLS OF SOJOURN IN HOSPITAL Dear Readers:—Last week I told you that I expected to spend a few days in a hospital in Raleigh, for a minor operation. I left Zebulon Fri day of last week and came to Raleigh where I visited my dear sick mother. I then visited other relatives before I went to Mary Elizabeth and hung up my coat and hat for a few days. Arriving at the hospital, I found a pleasant reception from the time I entered the office until the last sight of the building was far behind when on my way home. Quite a large number of people are acquainted with the doctors at this institution and especially the Big Doc tor, known as, Harold Glasscock. He is a great big piece of human pleas antness and has a good word for all. I had told the Doctor to get his in strument in good shape and make the date for the use of his keen in strument to suit himself. Saturday afternoon about 2:30 I was ordered to roll over on a table. I soon was on my way to the operat ing room. Arriving there, I found the Doctor and his assistants ready to begin the operation. Here I had a little argument about being put to sleep. I told to Dr. Glasscock to go ahead, and not to mind the sleeping part. In a few moments I was rolled into another room and the actual work with the knife began. Os course I was filled up on some kind of “cain,” but it done the work. The knife was hardly felt, and I stood the operation fine —leaving the oper ating room smiling and by the time we arrived in my room, I was laugh ing—because I felt good over the fact that I had gone through the opera tion, and had not suffered near what I had been suffering for several weeks. When one comes in contact with the nurses in a hospital, they soon realize that they are with God’s peo ple—kind and generous—obliging and pleasant—always ready when you call, to render whatever they can do for their suffering. In addition to being a patient at the hospital myself, I found Mr. E. C. Carter, who lives on the old Ral eigh Road, No. 90, near the ice plant. He had the' misfortune to get his hand caught in a corn shredder last Wednesday. He was immediately brought here and had his hand am putated. He is getting on fine. Another young man, whom I had the pleasure of rooming with, was Mr. Earnest Parrish, who lives on Zebulon Route 1. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Parrish. Young Mr. Parrish was quite sick when he was brought here, but is improving very fast and will soon be home. Speaking about hospitals, lots of people dread them, but many persons have gone to a premature grave be cause they were afraid of the knife ■and did not want to go to a hospital. When It is all figured out it is like a child taking castor oil—it is soon j over, and all is better, by taking a treatment at some good hopsital. ELITE DESIGNING SHOPPE OPENS Mrs. W. H. Strickland had the opening of the Elite Designing shoppe r in connection with Shamburger-Pip pin Department Store on Tuesday, February 23, which was attended w ith i much enthusiasm.

NASH sn<l FRANKLIN THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY PAPER IN NORTH CAROLINA. EX-SERVICE M E N WILL TAKE NOTICE In a recent letter to General Frank T. Hines, Director of the U. S. Vet erans Bureau, President Gool'dge has expressed his unqualified approval of the campaign recently inaugurated by the Bureau to bring to the attention of all ex-service men and women the desirability of immediate rein-state ment and conversion of their War Risk Insurance. Commenting upon the insurance is sued by the Government, President Coolidge said, “It is unnecessary for me to dwell upon the merits of life insurance, and the benefits which would come to all veterans and their dependents by their taking advantage of the liberal provisions made by the Government in the matter of insur ance.” Uuder the terms and provisions of the World War Veterans’ Act of 1924, all yearly renewable term insur ance (War Time Insurance) must be converted, if now in force, or rein stated and converted if lapsed, into some form of United States Gov ernment Life Insurance on or before July 2, 1926, after which date no ap plication for reinstatement and con version can be accepted. The provisions for reinstatement are so lenient, the terms of the pol icies so liberal and the premiums themselves so low, as to bring some one of the six converted policies in reach of every veteran, and Director Hines is concerned in seeing that every man or woman entitled to this insurance be advised of his or her rights in connection with it before it is too late.

C„ FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1926 MINISTERS MUST PAY INCOME TAX ON HOUSE RENT With the income tax period at hand, Commissioner of Revenue R. A. Doughton, is being called upon to make all sorts of rulings and ore such question has arisen as to whether or not ministers who are furnished homes by their churches should pay income tax on the house rent as a part of their incomes. Commissioner Doughton has said that all such allowances whether paid to ministers, teachers or other per sons are incomes and must be re turned as such. The ruling has been generally ac cepted by ministers without question but the commissioner has received one emphatic protest. The commissioner has ruled that a “seasonable” rent shall be re turned and does not require minist ers furnished larger house than they need or a larger one than they might expected to rent to return the full value. IN MEMORY OF KEITH GRIFFIN On Saturday morning, February 20, 1926, the death Angel entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. O. Griffin and took from them their son, Keith, He was seriously ill with pneumonia for only five days. All was done for him that loving hands could do. But God called him to be with him in Heaven. We cannot understand why he was taken so young, just seven teen years of age. But we must re member that God “doeth all things well.” And let us grieve not for him, but think of him in a fairer land above, where there is rom for his loved ones and friends and when we meet him there on high, we will know that the path that led that way, was much better than human hands could plan. And then up there, we will understand why our loved one was taken from us. Keith gave his heart to Jesus at the age of thirteen, and was a member of Pop lar Spring Baptist church. The funeral was conducted Sunday evening, by Rev. Mclver, of Louis burg. The young boys that were his best friends, acted as pall beariers. Char lie Richardson, Berry Richardson, Ned Bullock, Bruce White, Elmo Al ford, Jessie Bedd ngfield, Odell White Tollie Brewer, acted as pall beariers. The people of this community and surrounding communities, paid their last tribute of respect by attending the funeral and placing beautiful flowers on the new made grave. He leaves a devoted mother and father, four sisters, to mourn for h m. Now we pray dear father, that he who is Master of all good things, will keep him by Thy side in hea venly peace, until we too, are by his side. A Cousin. BAPTIST STATE W. M. U.

STRANGER THAN FICTION, STORY OF JACKSON Stranger than fiction runs the life I story of G. M. Jackson, Wake county | farmer, who a coroner’s jury Tues- I day found slew the wife and daugh ter fro whom he had provided in a will that was probated almost at the verdict was returned. The coroner’s jury found that Jack son shot himself to death in a fit of temporary insanity after he had slain his wife and daughter on last Saturday morning. The jury did not have before it the will that was made less than two years ago in which Jackson left his estates of 175 of land to his wife and three daugh ters. The will would not have been re ceived in evidence by the coroner’s jury, but it bore mute testimony as it lay on the table in the office of Vitruvius Royster, clerk of Wake County Superior Court, to family de votion that was in striking contrast to the verdict the jury returned. When the crops were laid in July of 1924, Jackson called in M. J. Carlton, a magistrate, and he and h's wife carefully made disposition of the estate. Three daughters there were, and none were forgotten, but the parents were to hold the estate during their natural lives. If the husband lived longer than his wife then he should hold the estate until his death, and if the wife lived longer then she was to hold it until her death.

T THE RECORD Will Print Your Community Nows DRIVE FOR ANTI EVOLUTION LAW STARTED The much heralded drive to ha/e the 1927 North Carolina General As sembly reverse the 1925 action and pass a law forbidding the teaching of evolution in the schools, similar t® the Tennessee statute which brought on the notorious Slopes trial, has be gun. Fuquay Springs, a Wake County town, was selected for the firing of the opening gun of the drive and after hearing two lectures by Dr. J. R. Pentuff, of McGill Street Bap tist Church, of Concord, a massmeet ing unanimously adopted resolutions pledging the support of those pres ent to candidates for the Legislature who will vote for the “monkey law.” Dr. Pentuff spoke Thursday night on “Evolution, Is It Scientific?” and his subject Friday night was “Evo lution, Is It Biblical?” It was statod that over 300 attended each meet ing and that the attendance would have been doubled, but for inclement weather. W. H. Blanchard, prominent Fu quay Springs citizen and a warm supporter of the movement made the following comment on the lecturer: “The remarkable thing abou-t Dr. Pentuff’s lectures is that he is so full of his subject that he can de liver one lecture after another with out any notes and quote authorities and give the book and page number, and those who have heard him de liver these lectures at d fferent times say that he never gives the same lecture twice. “Not withstanding the inclement weather there w. -a large crowd each night and ’he most intensive interest manifested by the hearers while the speaker unfolded the deep things, which showed that no proof whatever had ever been given that organic evolution was a fact. At the close <>f the e lectures there [ was a resolute :i ffered and unani mously ad ipted which is given below : “Resolved that we, the citizens of ! Fuquay Springs and sun ounding community, do hereby voice our seri ous objection and our solemn pro test against the teaching of the hy pothesis of evo’ution or any other theory that links nun in blood re lation to the lov r animals contrary to the teaching < f the Bible. “We grunt to < .hers the same right that the Coe - ; alion gr <(it- to us, and that is to believe, te tell and worship aecordi. to the dictates of our conscience, but we d > not gr: nt to the evolutionist- the right to teach a theory that i in direct opposition to our own co. .action of truth; a theory that i di honoring to God and the Bible and then as!: us to pay the lull; but wo grant to them, as dot- the Conunion, the right tc build their own institutions and then equip them at heir ova expenses, and with their own mere- , and in these institutions te;n'h \ h t they wish, so long as it i. not out of har mony with the great Government of the United Stat -. “We regret that our last General Assembly did not -e fit to enact a law against the teaching of such a theory in our Slat' school, and col leges,, but by the action of the said Legislature in biding the Poll bill, the evolutionists were liberated to teach th;:,; man sprang from some lower form of life, and to teach it in tax supported schools, and that said teach- rs’ salary is guaranteed out of the people's money, when it is estimated that 98 per c'nt of these tax payers do not believe in such theory, but that they believe it is forcing them to support a doctrine that is opposed 1 the i tviig us con viction, ai d w" therefore pi. ig:• our support in the coming empaign to those candidates who will pledge them selves to heed ur petitions at:d not turn a deaf ear to us in these matters. “We also extend our hearty thanks and appreciations to Dr. Pentuff for the lectures he has delivered." A hand lever that is pressed against each step in turn helps tc move a new two wheeled truck and its heavy loads up and dov/n stair ways. A course in electricity for girls to teach them the use and care of household applicances has been ad ded to the public schools in a Cali fornia city.
