General News Briefly Told
ATTACKED BY HOGS
Yeran Dale, small daughter of
tenants near Lumberton, fell into!
a hogpen while helping older sis
ters throw melon rinds to the hogs.
Before she could get out she was
attacked by two 300 pound fatten
ing hogs which tore off one of her
ears and bit her face so that holes
were gouged in the flesh. A doctor
took 150 stitches in the child’s
face and arms. The parents were
grading tobacco and did not hear
the screams of the child who
was rescued by a neighbor.
THE SCHOOL DOLLAR
Every dollar spent for schools in
North Carolina is divided approxi
mately as follows: First, the school
commission, which administers th e
school fund and which cost the
state last year more than $57,000;
next, salaries for superintendents,
which amount to nearly three cents
out of every dollar; teachers in the
grades, a little more than 82 cents
in each dollar; operation of school
plants, five cents per dollar; school
bus expenses, 9 cents per dollar;
libraries, less than one cent out of
each 100. Last year’s schools in
N. C. cost more than $20,000,000.
FOOD NEEDED
The Department of Agriculture
is said to rejoice that curtailment
of crops has done away with a sur
plus. At the same time the Ameri
can Federation of Labor declares
that many of the families of work
ingmen in this country do not have
enough to eat. The Federation as
serts that if an adequate diet could
be purchased it would mean the cul
tivation of millions of acres not in
use at present. Os course families j
making inadequate wages cannot j
provide adequate food.
FORMER QUEEN. COMING
Former Queen Victoria of Spain
is coming to New York to visit
one of her sons who is critically ill
in a hospital there. The former
prince is suffering from hemophil
ia, which is a hereditary disease of
his family. The mother expresses
the wish that no special ceremonies
for her arrival nor during her stay
in the U. S. be prepared.
SUNDAY MOVIES IN RALEIGH

over to the American Legion for
distribution among charitable in
stitutions and other welfare work.
Os this $1,136.87 went for grocer
ies and provisions for the needy in
Raleigh and Wake County. The
remainder was used for many oth
er worthy purposes.
CAPT. ASHE NINETY-SIX
Capt. S. A. Ashe, clerk of the
Eastern District Court, was 96
years old last Saturday. Though
having to use a cane at times, the
Captain fills his position regularly
in the court room, and is destined
to round out the century if present
indications are realized.
GREATEST NTH CAROLINIAN
Hon. Josephus Daniel, on learn
ing that North Carolina Baptists '
proposed to purchase and make a
sort of shrine of the birth place of
Dr. Geo. W. Truett, sent $25.00 to
be used for that purpose.
In making the contribution Mr.
Daniel observes that Dr. Truett is
the greatest living Carolinian. He
says: “He is a great Gospel preach
er and in an age of change, unrest
and drifting, he holds true to the
eternal principles and has proclaim
ed them all over the world. In such
convincing simplicity as to touch
the hearts and inform the minds
of people everywhere. Ia is a great
honor to our state to have produc
ed such an eminent Christian who
holds true to the faith in a gen
eration when so many men seem to
have lost the gleam.”
Dr. Truett is considered the
greaiest Baptist preacher in the
world and one of the outstanding
preachers living today. Others may
excel in scholarship, but few if
any in earnestness and oratory.
He grips and holds with a mighty
power his listeners wherever he
goes.
