IECORD is Paper—Are its Friend? AJME 2, NUMBER 23 ASSIGNMENTS OF METHODIST PREACHERS TRINITY CHURCH, DUR HAM, CROWDED FOR FINAL SERVICE I Bishop Announces No Use To Ask For Changing of Decisions, None Would Be Made Monday when Bishop E. D. Mouzon, who has been presiding over the an nual session of the North Carolina i Methodist Conference, which sessions were being held in Durham, called the late item of business, “Where are the preachers stationed?” Trinity church F at Durham, was crowded to hear him ! Wad the assignments for the incom ing year and when he began to read, the noise of the drop of the “prover bial ppin” could be heard. At the 11 o’clock session the bishop had the minutes read and he an nounced the hymn, “Am I a Soldier of the Cross,’’ and then in a short ad dress told the brethren that the ap pointments that he was going to read would not give entire satisfaction to the preachers or to the people, but, that yunder the circumstances he and 1 ‘that presiding elders had done the best that they could; and th£ appointments as resd would stand, that it was use less for any preacher or layman to come to him and try to get any of them changed for he could not comply with the request. He then read the list. In the list of appointments as read there are about the usual number of in pastorates. Rev. H. I. Glass, who had served the full quadrennium at Central, Raleigh, was ■ made presiding elder of the Elizabeth district, and Rev. H. M. North, ' who ha<TV£eto at Kinston just our year was sent to the Wilmington district as itS" presiding elder, Rev. E. Frank Lee taking his place at Kinston and Rev. E. L.

BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION The Baptist State Convention is in session at Wilmington this week. There are many matters of impor- I tance to come before this body of interest to Baptists folk in this and adjoining states. Rev. Theo. Davis, of Zebulon, is attending the convention, r The principal feature before the convention Wednesday was suggested changes in the constitution and the disposition of the W. M. U. Memorial proposing a campaign to relieve Mere dith College of bonded indebtedness!* I The ZEBOCON Record REPRESENTING FOUR COUNTIES—WAKE. JOHNSTON, NASH and FRANKLIN THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY PAPER IN NORTH CAROLINA. THE TOBACCO MARKET STILL HOLDS GOOD | THREE WAREHOUSES HAVING GOOD BREAKS EACH DAY Tobacco From a Distance on Sale—Prices Good On Every Sale - This week has been another good one for the farmjers who avail them-, selves of the opportunity to “ring in” on the good prices that tobacco is bringing on the Zebulon market. Farmers from near Zebulon as well as those from a distance can be seen every day—numbers of them—with the golden weed on their trucks, wa gons and other vehicles, coming in town, and making straight for one -of the three large warehouses in the town. These have learned 1 that they can get a i good price here a3 elsewhere, and, too, they can come 1 here, sell their tobacco, do some shop ping, and get back home for a late noon-day dinner, and then they can get in a partial day’s wrk either grad ing more tobacco or pickng cotton, of other farm work that is needed at this time. Zebulon is a convenient market for our neighbor farmers, and every day they are realizing this fact more and: more, for they know that they have beep getting good pru.es all along this season. On the Zebulon market one will find the best warehousemen to be found anywhere. They are polite and cour teous, and are a hardworking set of warehouse men. When a farmer comes to Zebulon and gets acquainted with those two young men wb* are. running’ the Wiggs ware ho* they know that they are dealing with men who are their friends. The Stephens Brothers are men who like to meet with their farmer friends. They know that the farmer wants all he can get for his tobacco and the Stephens Brothers will their part toe help the farmer out. The Farmers' Warehouse is another place thath has won the hearts of many of our farmers. While cotton at the low ebb, those farmers who know Fred Cheatham, come to the Farmers Warehouse where they know that Mr. Cheatham and his corps of of efficient warehousemen are ever on the alert to do what they can to make comfort and satisfaction for those who patronize this warehouse. Fred Cheatham is no stranger to thousands of the farmers in Wake, Franklin, Granville and Nash, as well as Johnston and Vance counties. One day this week, we were talking to a farmer who had brought fobacco here, and we learned that he was from Vance county. In conversation with him he fcaid that he had sold tobacco on Cheatham’s warehouse floors at Youngsville, and he said that he would follow his friend Cheatham if he went to the extreme Eastern part of Carolina, because, as he related, “when I sell my tobacco at Cheat am’s warehouse, I am that I get as much as any one will give me anywhere.” The farmers know where to get the best prices. At the Center Brick this week every one connected with this famous to bacco warehouse have been busy as bees in the spring of the year. R. M. Sanford & Co. are men who work hard to please—and they do pleqse— ' rs the following statement ma<fe''by two farmers this week will shmv: j They said in part: “We intended to go to some other market when we left home, but we decided to try the Zeb ulon warehousemen. We came, and landed our tobacco at the Center Brick, and when the sales started, we watched very closely Mr. Sanford. We had heard a great deal about him, and had read in your paper, how he work- j ed to make tobacco bring a good j price. As he went from pile to pile, making all the buyers “boost” the price, we were much interested in him. We were satisfied when our to bacco was reached we would get all . we expected for it. We did, and more, too. We would have been satisfied with a 25 cent average, but we re ceived a 35 cent average. We will be found coming to Zebulon again soon.” For laughing purposes ‘inly “A •Bachelor's Honeymoon.” ZEBULON, N. ('.. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1926 VVAKEFIELD-ZEBULON ROAD WILL BE WORKED OVER It will be of interest to citizens of Zebulon and especially to people liv-, ing in and around Wakefield to know that plans are on foot to completely rebuild at an early date the Zebulon- Wakefield road. This stretch of road is one of the most important in Wake county outside the State Highway sys- i tern, carrying as it does the combined traffic of several roads that converge at Wakefield. Formerly it was a part of State I Highway 90 and was completely worn out when turned back to the county by the State Highway Commission. It was simply a succession of holes and j bumps and has remained so to this j time, much to th© discomfort of those who must necessarily use it. In fact, a good test of a man’s ability- to not swear under any circumstances is a drive over this road at prsent. It is indeed a saintly man who can travel it j and keep his temper. But a county road force is expected here within the next ten days of two weeks, and this will be the first work assigned to it. It is planned to com pletely rebuild the road and v at the same time eliminate the “S” curve this Series of Services at Union Tabernacle Beginning with Sunday 11a. m., the 21st inst, Rev. S. Patterson and his wife will begin a series of services at the Union Tabernacle, of which R*v. S. J. Betts i 6 pastor. The Tabernacle is located three miles east of Wendell, near Richardson’s Cross-roads. This special service, which will con tinue for ten or fifteen days, is mainly for Christians and is conducted espe cially for the edification and revival of believers, to which all Christians of J- Rev. S. Patterson all creeds are earnestly invited. A chief feature of the service will be the heart-cheering music rendered by Mr. Patterson and his wife, accom panied by their quitar. The sweetness of their rendition is RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTIONS TO THE RECORD AT ONCE "" Beginning next week, we will cut froqi our list all subscribers who have not JiaiA in advance.

Americans eat more frozen foods than other nations cio.* side of Wakefield. It is also planned to open a new road to run from direct ly in front of the main building on the Wakelon campus to Highway 90. This is contingent upon the consent of prop erty owner concerned, but it is only reasonable to suppose that they will gladly consent as the road will consid erably entrance the value of the prop erty. This road work will be done largely through the influence of Mr. W. L. Wiggs, county commissioner. Before Mr. Wiggs became a member of the county board our section received about the same consideration in road work as the proverbial “red-headed step-child.” During the past few years, however, Mr. Wiggs has suc ceeded in getting most of our roads put in good shape. When the Wake ■ field road is rebuilt the community will be deeply indebted to him. A good road to WakefielA and a new road from Wakelon to Highway 90 will be a great help and convenience to our people. Especially will it be so to patrons of Wakelon school and to the school trucks. ■aid to be of the deepest spiritual quality and unsurpassed.

IMPROVEMENTS TOWN ZEBULON LAST 12 MONTHS PROGRF.SS ALONG ALL LINES CAN BE SEEN ON EVERY HAND Streets Paved—New Build ings Erected and Other Permanent Work In looking back over the last 12 months here in Zebulon one can read ily see that the town has made many substantial and permanent improve ments along all lines. During this period the town has paved quite a number of streets and sidewalks, and otherwise beautified the town. There has been quite a number of new residences built, and a few have been remodeled and painted. k There has been four new filling sta tions erected in the town. If we are correct, we believe that we have eight filling stations in the tow* now. The Kilpatrick Furniture is a new furniture company, established during the past year, and this store is en joying a good trade. Some improvements have been made to the tobacco warehouses. The G. & B. Case has recently been opened up by Messrs. G. B. Brantley and Williard Gill in the old pDstdffice building on Arendell street. A good restaurant in the up-town section was badly needed, and the kind that Messrs. Brantley and Gill are now running is gaining in popu larity each day. Messrs. N. B. Finch & Co., the popular merchants of our town, are now building a large and commodious brick building on the corner of Aren i dell and Vance streets, just opposite ! the Zebulon Bank & Trust Co. When this building is completed it will be one of the most up-to-date building in our city. While the building is in course of erection the company is now occupying the old Chamblee build ing next to Center Brick warehouse. Mr. A. C. Dawson has within the past year erected a filling station and store house at the corner of No. 90 Highway and Arendell street. Mr. Dawson is now enjoying a good trade at his new quarters. The Phil-Ett Filling Stateion has erected a new filling station across the railroad, near the Wiggs Ware house. There is another filling station out on Road 90, just north of the city limits which has recently been erected. The postoffice has moved into its new quarters in the past few months, and has one of the neatest and most up-to-date postoffices of any town thf) size of Zebulon in the state. The old Massey barbecue stand building has been torn down and in the near future, it is said, a nice up to-date building will be erected on the site. The Corbett barber shop moved from the old wooden building on Aren del! street to the Citizen Bank build ing, where they have one of the most up-to-date barbershops in our town. There are quite a number of per ! manent improvements going on all the time here in our town, all of which |go to make for Zebulon a more beautiful town, and a fine place to live.

Vickers, a Convict, Shot In Scuffle When He Tries io Escape Twelve men of Wake county, sitting as a jury, accepted Rev. George Wood’s story and exonerated him Sunday for the slaying on August 31 of J. B. Vickers, a State prisoner. Vickers, serving a ten-year term for murder, was fatally shot by Rev. Mr. Woods when he was cornered against the wall of a porch at the home of R. T. Coburn on the corner ctf Boylan avenue and Cutler street, in Raleigh some time ago. The prisoner had just made a break for liberty as he was being taken to the State Prison by the Minister from Kinston as a special guard who was sent to Spar tanburg, S. C., afser Vickers. Rev. Mr. Wood, placed on trial last Friday in Wake Superior Court for the killing, admitted the slaying of Vick ers but that the shooting was not in tentional. He told th* jirry thgt Vickers con tributed to his own death by grabbing the gun after having held up his hands in a token of surrender. "1 did net shoot Vickers; he grab bed the gun and palled it downward toward him sriMA it exploded. I had hold of the pistol, but did not pull the trigger,” were the words of Wood’s direct denial of guilt. In trying to repute Wood’s story of the shooting, th* State contended that the slaying of th* prisoner was a wanton act and without regard for the life of a man who was helpless in surrender. The State sought to con vince the jury that the minister shot while the prisoner’s hands were above his head. Three witnesses against the defendant were positive that Vick ers did not lower his hands until after receiving his mortal wound. Two other State witnesses who saw the shooting did not notice and, therefore, were unable to say whether the con vict lowered his hands as Wood stated. The jury returned its verdict at 11:30 o'clock Sunday after having de liberated since about 6 o’clock Satur day night. The twelve men were locked up for the night in an appar ent state of deadlock after having asked Judge Bond for additional in structions. They wanted to know the difference between murder in the sec ond degree and manslaughter. The iury stood ten to two for acquittal before retiring Saturday night. A’ter the verdict had been returned the minister, who was accompanied h» court by James 11. Pou and John G. Dawson, two of his lawyers, shook hand.- with each juror in personally thank-ng them for the verdict. VISITED HIS PARENTS Last Sunday Dr. H. R. Chamblee visited his parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. 11. Thamblee, and brought with him Dr. Towns, of Waverly; Dr. Gates, of Norfo’k, and Mr. Edwin Richard nffi, of Suffolk, Vr.; Miss Mozelle Chamblee also spent the week-end at home. BROKE HIS SHOULDER We are sorry to learn that on last Wednesday afternoon little B ;bbip Jones, son of Mr. R. E. Jones, fell from a wag#n and broke his shoulder.
