VOLUME n THIS, THAI AND THE OTHER By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS A colored woman was speaking of a man who wounded an officer and was in turn shot. “It he hadn’t existed,” she said, “he wouldn't been hurt. Ain’t no use existing law.” About that special poetry edition of The Record that I have mention ed before. At first no one of the of ficce force but me was in favor of : it. The editor was doubtful, if not , positive it wouldn’t do. The junior member of the firm, when he was | approached about it, looked exactly like he does when he smells mari golds—which are NOT his favorite! flower. The linotype man said; nothing--to me. But he is very quiet anyway. The two youngest i Davises confess to a great deal of curiosity as to what that issue of the paper will contain. But. give me time, and I can usually make some impression upon my family. (You may remember the Biblical story of the judge who de- j tided in favor of a certain woman “because of her importunity.”) And I think that at about the time of; year when “a young man’s fancy I lightly turns to thoughts of love” , we shall publish some poetry; or, at ! least, some rhymes. Now, if you are interested, get your poetic license, mount Pegasus i and soar above the clouds, or har ness him to your chosen vehicle and drive down rhythmic roads. There are to be no judges, no contest, no prizes. It will all be for our own entertainment. Have you ever seen so many dry, dusty spots where turnip patches! were suppose*! to be? And have you ever seen fewer flowers at this season ? We might manage to wa ter the flowers and kep them alive, but it makes us feel all wrong to be putting so much water on tilings to look at and letting things to eat die. The flowers are a sort of burnt i offering on the altar of appropri , ‘fcven some water lilies and water hyacinths look droopy and sun burned, though their roots are deep in pools. Last Thursday’s Greensboro News made mention of Danville as, one of the two cities in Virginia j which voted drv in the referendum _ i of October .‘l. As I read it my heart gave a sud den throb and my mind rushed back through the years that are gone to ! a day when I. as a warm, tired lit tle girl, sat on a long, hard bench | in a country church, listening to the proceedings at an all-dav temper ance meeting. One of the speakers! was J. R. Moffett, the young pas- 1 tor of a church in Danville, and one of the most ardent temperance! workers of his day. Danville was wet then, and Mr. Moffett was warned that it would be dangerous for him to continue exposing con- i •litions and pleading for saloons to I go; but he was not deterred from j what he felt was his duty. One day as he walked down a! street in Danville he was shot and j killed by a saloon-keeper. I can still recall the horror and burning re- 1 sentment that I felt when we had the news of his death; I remember: the tears shed by my parents and the condemnation of the murderer by many who drank as well as by | those who abstained. There were those who felt even | then that Moffett’s death had done: what his life might not have ac- j complished; for from that time the: temperance movement grew apace in Danville. And the evidence goes | to prove that the city still remem-1 bers. SUBSCRIBERS! Be sure t<> get your news in by j Tuesday afternoon at three o’clock.

SThc Zrbulmt TScrnrt) Barbee And Perry Star For Wakelon Sprite Barbee and Austin Perry were the outstanding players last Friday for Wakelon when the locals journeyed down to Fremont and carried away a 21-0 victory. Young Barbee made two of tlie tltree touchdowns. In the first quarter he traveled thirty yards off tackle for the first score and again in the third quarter he went 20 yards for the score. In the last quarter, Aus tin Perry, fleet-footed half-back, broke loose for the real thrill of the day. Taking the ball on his own fifteen yard line, he ran the length of the field for a touchdown, a run of eighty-five yards. “Grip” Daugh i try, fullback, returned to the game i after a week’s layoff, and added J two extra points while Bobby Hor | ton, quarter-back, counted the other j score. This win was the second for ! Coach Gerow an,| Br>> >kbank’s lo j cals. They defeated Wendell in the I opener by a score of (5-0 and last week they held the strong Fuquay eleven to a R-f> tie. I vies. ( arter and Richardson looked unusually well on the line. The lineup was as follows: Backs: Horton, Barbee, Cockrell, Daughtry. Line: Lyles and Wiggs. Ends: Carter and Lloyd. Tackles: Richardson and Ferebee. Guards: Green, center. Substitutes were: Perry, Horrell, Flowers and Harper. Backs: Morris, Privett, i Cockrell and May.

Daniel of Zebulon i are the editors. Mr. Tilghman was a student of journalism at the Uni versity of North Carolina a few years ago, and Mr. Daniel was graduated from that institution this year.—Linotype News. A Call To Prayer Raleigh, Oct'. 9.—Hundreds of 1 church people here yesterday sign ed an appeal to Governor Ehring haus to proclaim a state-wide day !of prayer. Heading the petition were some f the outstanding min isters and laymen of the city, and a ; prominent editor. The appeal is ; stated to be “in view of the deep j and growing confusion facing our I iofficers of the state and nation, our, distressed farmers, our milions of unemployed, ami our people of state and nation in genera!,” it asks that the Governor “proclaim a state wide day of prayer in whieh Divine guidance may be asked for our gov ernor and president and all other officers of state and nation, and that the people at large may follow their lead in the ways of righteous- ] ness and peace.” It is trankly recognized that it | would seem hardly fitting for the j Governor to issue such a proclama tion except on the appeal of an im pressive minority of the church po ple, and a public statement is is sued with an invitation to church to report to the Governor their re action to the proposition. A num ber of leading pastors spoke Sun day in favor of the movement. Lucy, M. Cobb, Y. W. C. A., Raleigh, N. C. j State Fair Doing Well The State Fair had a good open ing and it is said that gate receipts are running far ahead of last year to the same date. A determined effort is being made to see that gambling joints are kept out of the fair grounds and county officers have been ap pointed to special duty during the fair. Officials declare they are going to make this the biggest and best fair in the history of North Caro lina, and from present indications they are going a long way towards making good their promise.

Banking by mail I is both convenient and safe. Read I the statement of business from this | bank and be convinced of its safety jand reliability, then bank your mon ey with them.
