IN RALEIGH The meeting of the Baptist Women in their annual conference at the First Baptist church, Raleigh, this week was one of the best sessions In their history. There was a fine at tendance of delegates from all over the State. Dr. J. R. Jester, pastor pf the First Baptist church, Winston- Salem, preached the sermon at the opening seesion Tuesday night. Wednesday was given to the con sideration of the reports of the work done during the year. These were very encouraging. At noon the dele gates were carried to Meredith Col lege where they looked over this fine new institution for educating Baptist girls. This is the most modern ed ucational institution for women in the State. Lunch to the delegates was served in the college dining room, after which the students gave a very impressive pageant depicting the his tory of Meredith College. At night a notable address was delivered by E. Y. Mullins, President tof the lar gest Baptist Seminary in the world in Louisville, Ky. The closing sessions on Thursday were devoted to a further considera tion of the work done, reports from department heads and the election of officers. Mrs. W. N.

PRAYER MEETINGS There will be prayer meetings at the Baptist church on next Wednes day, Thursday and Friday evenings at 7:30 o’clock, to which all Christians are invited. On Wednesday evening there will be a joint-service of the prayer meet ings of the Baptist and Methodist churches. The Baptist people cor dially invite all the Christian people to co-operate in the services of evan gelistic meetings commencing at the Baptist church on Sunday, March 14. This union prayer meeting is prepar atory to this er.d. The general sub ject for prayer and consideration is, Dose Zebulon need a revival and how are we to have it? Then it is planned to have the Fed eration of the Tabernacle church pres ent in the prayer meeting on Thurs day evening, and they will lead the service. On Friday evening the Men’s Federation of Raleigh have been ask ed to come and lead the meeting. On Sunday, Dr. J. C. Owens will preach the first sermon of a series running for perhaps two weeks. Let all Christians begin now to prepare for special services. In a meeting lately conducted by Dr. Owen there were twenty conversions in one days’ services. However, we cannot expect God to save the lost in our commu nity, no matter how consecrated and eloquent the preacher may be, unless the Christian people themselves are right with God and ready to work with hi mto save the lost. ROBBERB AGAIN VISIT TOWN OF ZEBULON Last Thursday night the town of Zebulon was visited again by un known parties; men’s clothes, and al so shoes were missed from Acker mans Dollar Store, besides some lit tle change from the cash register. After dressing themselves and get ting the change at this place the visitors went into Mr. F. P. Medlin’a grocery store. They took his cash register out into the lumber yard of Massey Brothers and tore it open. It has been only a short while since S. G. Flowers department store was visited by thieves. It is thought that the same parties visited both times. STOP ! LOOK ! LISTEN ! MEASURING PARTY .

Special music by string orchestra Refreshments served free. “Come old, come yojjng—some leyi come fat, a penny an inch for your waist line and don’t forget that.” Don’t forgat the date; Thursday night, March IT, 1926, at 8 o’clock. ZEBULON, N. U., FRIDAY, MARCH 5, 1926 SURRENDERS TO THE SHERIFF Waddell Richardson, Alleged Abductor, Out Under Bond The News and Observer of last week says: After having eluded the efforts of officers ever since December 12, last, Waddell Richardson, young Wendell man, who is charged along with Theo. Hsneycutt, another Wendell man, with having abducted Miss Mildred Broughton, of near Zebulon, against the latter’s will, gav e himself up to Deputy Sheriff Biggs the past Sunday. Honeycutt is still at large. Richardson is at liberty under a $2,500 bond, which was provided by the boy’s father. Richardson was first allowed his freedom under a S2OO bond by So licitor Evans through a mistake, but Judge Barnhill, learning of the nature of the alleged crime, ordered a capias issued for Richardson and had the latter placed under a heavier bond. Following the alleged outrage per petrated upon Miss Broughton by Richardson and Honeycutt, a S3OO reward was offered for their capture. However, the two left Wendell after their indictment. A man answering the description of Honeycutt, and whose name was Theodore Honeycutt was arrested in North Wilkesboro, three weeks ago and was brought here, but it was speedily discovered that he was not the Honeycutt want ed. It is alleged that on December 12 Richardson and Honeycutt enticed Miss Broughton, who was soliciting subscriptions for a newspaper, to enter their car upon the pretense of subscribing for the paper. It is fur ther charged they carried Miss Broughton beyond Wendell. She es caped by taking the key out of the switch and throwing it away. Her father swore out warrants for the two boys when his daughter told him of the outrage. ORDINATION OF DEACONS On last Sunday evening there was a very impressive service at the Bap tist church when six deacons were ordained. Rev. A. A. Pippin, of Wakefield, preached the ordination sermon which was very practical and helpful for others than deacons. Rev. Mr. Pippin has been pastor around Zebulon for a quater of a century, and many of the congregation Sun day night were those he had baptized or married years ago, and in many casese he had done both. Those ordained were: Profs. B. H. Johnson and P. H. Massey, Messrs. W. P. Lewis, O. R. Cockrell, S. A. Horton and Dr. L. M. Massey. This makes the Board of Deacons number fifteen and it is composed of some of the best business men in the commu nity. With such men as these to head the financial and disciplinary sides of the church life, pastor Davis has a strong support in carrying forward the interests of the work. The church membership, we understand, is over 400 and with their fine equipment in building for all departments of ser vice, this congregation should soon stand out among the most progres sive and aggressive among the small town churches in the State. OYSTER LUNCHEON AND SUPPER The ladies of the Parent-Teachers’ Association will serve oysters, chick en salad, cakes, pies, etc., down town next Saturday for lunch and supper. The exact place of serving will be announced later. The proceeds '".ill be used to pay the schools’ at.iletic debts. All ladies who will give pies, will please notify Miss Futrell at the dormitory as soon as possible. MRS. BARBEE ENTERTAINS The Wednesday Afternoon Club met with Mrs. G. R Barber last week with fifteea members present. The hostess served deliAous !***it ralad with sandwiches and Russian tea at the close of a delightful so cial hour. MARY ELIZABETH HOSPITAL NEWS The Editor Returns; Other Patients Convalescing The Editor of the Record, after a stay of eight days at Mary Elizabeth hospital at Raleigh, arrived home Saturday evening. Notwithstanding the use of the knife and what is known as “soli tary” confinement —not the kind that you are put into a dark room and ; not allowed to see any one—hut the kind of “confinement” that calls for one to lay on a comfortable bed and keep as quiet as possible, at least for a few days. That's the k.nd I received. While at the hospital I received the best if attention from the doctors as well as from all the nurses. Every comfort that one can wish for in an institution of this kind, I received, and I take this me thod to thank everyone. Everyone that has visited Mary Elizabeth hospital at Raleigh, either as a patient or visitor, no doubt, met while there, that great big hearted surgeon, Dr. Harold Glasscock. Some one has said that they could not see how a man that wielded a knife in the way Dr. Glasscock does, could be so popular—but after one goes under his care—even if he uses the "keen” cutter, becomes more closely attached to him. He goes about his duties believing and knowing that he is going to give his patient relief— though temporarily, one sometimes suffers some pain and has to sacri fice in order that the surgeon’s work may effect a cure for the specific disease for which one is treated. The rest of the attending physic ians are all of the same type as Dr. Glasscock. Every one strives to do his best to relieve his patient from suffering. The nurses of this institut'on are young ladies that have hearts that are full of sympathy for these suf fering ones. They are ever ready at the call of the bell to come and ad minister in what ever way they can to the patients. After doing what they can for one, they generally leave with the words—“ls there anything else you want to make you comfor table?” Mr. Ernest Parrish, of Zebulon, R. 3, who was a patient last week, im proved so fast that he left the hos pital on Thursday. When Mr. Par rish left he said he was feeling fine. Mrs. Herbert A. Alford, of Zebulon Route 1, arrived at the hospital on Wednesday and was operated on for appendicitis Thursday. She was re ported as resting very nicely when I left the institution. Mrs. Alford be fore marriage a few months ago, was Miss Ruth Freeman. I hope she will soon return home well. While at the institution I met an old friend that I had not seen for years, in the person of Mr. Charles Newcomb©. I remembered Mr. New comb years ago, as a book-keeper for the firm of Pool and Moring, wholesale groceries of Raleigh. Mr. Newcomb had a very serious acci dent a few months ago, and has been confined in the hospital ever since. Mr. Newcomb is over 70 years of age. He is getting aloxg nicely at the hos pital. Another case at the hospital is that of Mr. C. W. Hinton, of Smith field. Some time the late” part of last year Mr. Hinton had a severe case of scarlet fever, and later the nerves of his body and limbs became paralyzed. When he was taken to the hospital a little more than two weks ago he was perfectly helpless, not having any use of his legs or hands. Mi. Hinton is improving fast and before I left the hospital he could use his legs and arms, turn himself in Led, and could take bread in his hand an.! carry it to his mouth and jeat. He hopes to be well soon so n; can walk as well as feed him self. His case is. responding to thg treatment and he is improving fast. Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Rhodes, of Dur ham, ami daughter, Katheync, were visitors at the home of Mrs. Ada I’earce Sunday. Mr. G. C. Brannan and family spent Sunday in the Pearce school section. PRICE: One Year, $1.50; Single Copies, se. THE HOG THAT HURRIES THE FARMER Food for thoughtful farmers! We ! understand there have been nine ear loads of hogs shipped and sold in Zebnlon within the last two months, and all of them were sold to farmers in Wake, Johnston, Nash and Frank lin counties at prices ranging from $lO to sls «ach. At an average price! of $12.80 per hog, nine car loads would amount to over $10,000.00 paid out for what our farmers ought to raise at home. But some say it cannot be done, that these hogs were raised down east where they would be raised at a minimum of cost on soy beans and peanuts. Several truck loads of hogs were sold here in the late fall which had been hauled from Chatham coun ty. If one has ever been over Chat ham county he must he convinced that the country around Zebulon is superior to hog raising if not for rabbits, soy beans, rape, peanuts and corn can be grown successfully in this section. And the farmers can afford to raise their pigs at home. Mr. Luther Long who lives almost within the corporate limits of Zeb ulon sells a number of pigs each year at a good profit from two brood sows. In the fall of 1922 the farmer at the Kennedy Home near Kinston, be gan a new herd of Hampshire hogs, having six young guilts. The follow ing winter they killed 60 good sized shoats and had a herd of over 75 1 sows and p gs. The soil there is very much like that tin this section. Rye was sown for winter and spring ! glazing, rape, soy beans, potatoes, | and peanuts were planted to be “hogged” down. Corn and soy beans were planted in alternate rows and when these were harvested the hogs were turned into th field to eat the scattered beans and left over ears of corn. Then it took very little corn to finish fattening and hardening the meat. A small quantity of tankage and some bran were bought for the small pigs. It was found that the meat cost about 11 cents per pound to place it in the smoke house. Not only do our farmers pay an exhorbitant price for shoats to fatten J but they buy much —eome farmers all —of the feed to fatten them. What ever possible saving there might be in buying “imported” hogs, is chased down and drowned by “red dog.” They ought not only raise hog feed,, but horse, cow and chicken feed at home. Not a day passes that you may not see a wagon loaded with hay, dairy or chicken feed leaving town. Crops , suitable for any form of stock can j be grown on our soil. If the farmers of the middle west can raise the hay, a broker market, it, a middle man man distribute it, the local dispose of it—all at a profit, surely the farmer at home can afford to raise it at a profit by saving the four profits paid to others when he buys his feed. Let us have diversified farming. Make something of everything to eat! that may be grown locally and make something to sell of every crop that can be grown profitably. Don't com fine yourselves to cotton and tobacco —crops grown on plant food sold at other men’s prices, and then sold at their prices. M ake your motto “Live at home.” Let us stop the hog from digging our grave and make him dig gold for us. Let us stop time killing us by purchasing things we ought to grow on the farm from the “time merchant,” and begin “killing time” by every farmer providing for “his own household” from under “his own vine and fig tree.” NOTICE How would you like to make Zeb ulon the town beautiful ?

Company’s store was robbed by un known parties. The Record stated at that time that at least three were in the party. The store was entered by the rear door, using an axe to prize open the door. At the time of the robbery, only wearing apparel to the extent of about $150.00 was taken. Chief Diekens has been working on the case in a quiet manner, and has gone about the matter in such away as not to attract attention of the guilty parties. Early last Monday morning, the night Policeman Horton, saw a sus picious character on the streets with a sachel, and made attempt to ar rest him. Exum Jenkins was the name of the party whom Mr. Horton attempted to arrest, but Jenkins took foot bail for the present, leaving the sachel. The sachel contained prop erty identified as belonging to S. G. Flowers and Company, and E. R. Ackerman. Some of the articles iden tified were those taken on the night that S. G. Flowers store was robbed. Exum Jenkins escaped after an ex citing chase by Chief Dickens, Mayor Daniels, Guy Massey and several other citizens. Jenkins was captured at Eagle Rock, about nine miles from Zebulon, Monday night, by Mr. Guy Massey. Ernest Carpenter, was arrested the same night by Chief Dickens and Mr. Massey, for being implicated in the same robbery. Tuesday morning Sam Jenkins, brother of Exum Jen kins, was arrested by Chief Dickens and Massey. The trio will be tried next Saturday morning. They are now being cared for at Chief Dickens’ “Hotel”- better known as the “Cala j boose.” Practically all the goods taken out of Flowers and Company, and E. n. Ackerman, have been located ar.d identified. It is stated the same night of the i robbery occurred, Med lie’s grocery store waas robbed of cash, meat and clothing. It is said that the amount of goods taken in all three robberies amounted j to S4OO or SSOO, which has all been j recovered but one pair of pants. AN OLD-FASHIONED MOTHER The play, “An Old-Fashioned Mo ; ther” which was presented last Fri day evening at Wakelon high school was a source of good amusement for a couple of hours. The term “good” may be applied in two ways. First, as a source of good clean amusement, then as an insight into the mother-love of a real “old- fashioned mother.” It would be a difficult matter to say which member of the caste best filled his or her place, as it seemed that each one was at their best. The old-fashioned mother often had the audience in tears, but right away either “Jerry” the lad whose heart of gold, beat beneath a homespun shirt, or "Miss Custard” a very prim and precise “maden lady” would turn their tears to laughter. Then the Widow Pindle surely de serves credit for leading the Village choir into singing many old favorites, while her small daughter, Sukey caused the audience to roar with laughter. The other characters were equally good, and taken altogether, the whole play was betftr than anything of the kind seen in a long while. It is such a pity that so few took ad vantage dt the opportunity offered to see this ghod play. Those who did see R have sung loudly its praises. This play was presented by the members of the Wakefield Baptist church. The proceeds going into the building of class-rooms which are so greatly needed. It will be given Lean at Pilot school building, Fi day evening of March sth, 8:00. Be sure to go. It is worth while. Admission 25 and ,35 cents. * Mr. Ben Nowell, of Wendell, spent , Surflay in town.
