SOUTHERN CHURCHES RETURN TO TITHING New York. —A return to the Lord s mre plan of tithing by which rural mtiquity and later in rural England tms taken place in three sections of j t P s outh, the Presbyterian board of r itional missions disclosed today. Hundreds of churches of eight de-, r .ruinations are involved and hope was , that the project might be i xtended to include educational facil i ies in regions hard hit by economic t >nditions. The Rev. Dr. A J. Montgomery, a director of the national board’s de partment of town and country, de , bribed the plan after a tour through the South. I was heartily endorsed by The three areas, Dr. Montgomery said, center about Asheville, N. C. Sparta, Tenn., and Meridian, Miss. Farmers there are pledging the prod ucts of an acre of ground a brood of chickens, or a pig. instead of money to .he church. The Rev. Dumont Clarke, director of the religious department of the farm rs federation at Asheville explains ‘.he plan in a folder just published as "ollwos: “The Lord’s acre plan is that each member of the church and Sunday school shall set apart and dedicate to he Lord a part of the farm land or aise some crop, or rear the animals, nd at the harvest season sell the pro .uce or the animals and give the cash yield to the church. “The project may be an acre or a juarter of an acre of corn or potatoes, or a pig, a brood of chickens, a calf or Sunday eggs—just what each mem ber yesolves to undertake and so pledges on the covenant card. Cash may be pledged by members who are on a salary basis.” H. H. Weir, Presbyterian layman of . Meridian, Miss., is working out a com > modity marketing group to further the plan that area.

HI RKING ILL We are sorry to !e rn of the illness of Mr. Herring, pastor of the locals Baptist church. Hi has had a very I strenuous time lately, having just I closed a meeting.

C. by the smallest majority recorded in a primary. Robert R. Reynolds is the candidate for U. S. Senate tty the largest majority ever recorded. NATIONAL CANDIDATE Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York and John Nance Garner of Texas are the Democratic candidates for presi dent and vice-president. Roosevelt flew from his home to the convention at Chicago to be officially notified of bis nomination, instead of waiting as has been the cu*.om, for weeks, her fore being formally notified. His going to Chicago saved sime money for the party, and changed a custom that was obsolete. The National Democratic Conven tion was the most harmonious held for some time, and political prophets are foretelling victory next fall. The wet plank m the platform is though* to be a vote —drawing piece of ma terial. From mw on the eoices of many politicians and some statesmen will be heard in the land. Reports from county agents in the grpin growing section of Piedmont Carolina indicate that the crop this seasq is, not up to standard. Excel- ( lent yields of clover hay are being harvested, however. Zebuion, Wake County, N. C.. Friday, duly 8, 1932 Convicts Caught I On last Friday, deputy sheriff G. C.

About two o’clock the same night deputy Massey caught John Harris, colored, another convict who bad es caped from the Rocky Mount camp. He was caught about three mil s ,tiom Zebulon on highway No. 90. i I)r. Parrot On Diphtheria Inoculation j Below we give a communicat on from Dr. J. M. Parrott. State HeaPh 'officer, in reply to communication to the editor of the Record advising against diphtheria inoculation. We hope our readers will very carefully Aead this article, and if they have not j taken advantage of this safeguard I for their children against a very much I feared disease, they will do so just |as early as possible, j The untoward effects from the use lof typhoid vaccine, diphtheria toxoid lor diphtheria toxin antitoxin, are virtually negligible, particularly, when i compared with the extensive use of such vaccines. When one compares the results obtained through the use of these measures in the prevention of illness and in the reduction of the death rate follwoing their use. no unbiased individual could do other than urge their use and assist in provid ing this protection. Typhoid fever and dphtheria can and are being con trolled by the effective use of typhoid vaccine and diphtheria toxoid. The military forces is probably the rtiost outstanding example with reference to the control of tvphoid fever by the use of vaccine. The existence of cases of diphtheria fever are not ah indict ment against the use of these pre ventive measures but ao argument for I the more elective application of these measures. Quite recently an outbreak of typhoid fever occurred in a county in this state (Greene), which was con fined to a group of people, who, be cause of religious prejudice, had not availed themselves of the typhoid, vaccination. It has long been recog niedz that epidemic diseases do ap pear in cycles and that following in the wake of an epidemic there are large numbers of persons who are im- , rnune to the disease ar.d it requires the passage of time for the develop ment of a crop of susceptible indi viduals in order to make possible a fertile field for the development of another outbreak. The us<- of nre ventive vaccines is predicated on building up an immunity in the indi vidual so as to make it impossible for diseases to become epidemic and the fact that there is a decline in the in-' cidence of cases following an outbreak of a disease is due to the immunity! developed by virtue of the existence I of the disease in epidemic form. We, therefore, endeavor to bring about’, through the use of vaccines, l the same condition as that which fol-, I A Good Cop |d i !

She was carried there last : week for an operation. The opera ! tion apparently was successful and j it was believed that she would fully recover. Up to a few nrnutes before her death no danger was feared, but i it seems her heart, which was involved ’ in her trouble, unexpectedly failed. The funeral service was conducted * at the Zebulon Baptist ehurch yes t! terday afternoon at two o'clock by t Rev. Theo. B. Davis and burial was in - the Zebulon cemetery. Mrs. Denton was a very estimable , woman, well loved by her friends and t neighbors. She was the daughter of Mrs. Frank Brantley and a sister to ! Mrs. J. E. Gill. She leaves a husband i and six children. The sympathy of i the community goes out to the hus f band and children in this, their great r est loss. 3 - i DAIRY FARMING BUILDS * MORE FERTILE SOILS Dairy farming improves soils in stead of depleting them. On every well handled dairy farm large quan . I tities of legume hays, wheat bran, I cottonseed meal and other such feeds are converted into milk through cows yet there id a considerable residue I left in the form of manure which will i help to build up the soil. On a basis of ten gents a pound of . j nitrogen irid five cents a pound each 1 1 for phosphoric acid and potash, alfal :, fa hay has a plant food value of $6 a ton: soybean hay, $7.85; clover hay, - $6.69; wheat bran, $9.69; corn meal, V $4.69 and cottonseed meal, $15.92. e ' Only aboat 20 percent of this plant ] food value is lost in the feeding '.' process which means that there is a ; ‘ gradual accumulation of plant food . on every well managed dairy farm. , Further evidence is shown, by the i, good crops usually produced on such a farm. Not only does dairy farming help -j to build up the soil but the cropping j system followed prevents much wash t ing. - j “On account of the organic matter )|and countless bacteria in cow manure, ji* has a greater farm value than a chemical analysis would show. “The organic matter improves the physical j condition of the land and increases 1 1 its water-holding capacity. This im | proved condition also makes a favor able situation for the bacteria to lib '! erate plant food in the soil particles.” No system of farming can be per ! manently profitable unless soil fer tility is maintained. It makes no dis ! ferenee, what the cash return may | be from a crop because if the wealth is secured at the expense of the soil, j the farmer will lose in the end. —jno. | V A’ey. Mike Chamblee Dies Mr. M. P. Chamblee of Oxford died 1 1 ist Friday night in Duke hospital and v. as buried on Sunday. He was the brother of Mr. W. M. Chamblee and Mrs. Pattie Harris of Zebulon.
