Creating Religious Ideals. Memphis, Feb. 3.—OP)—The college chattel can be used in creat ing religions ideals and should be so used. Dr. ,T. M. Workman, president of Hemlerson-Brown College, Arka delphia. Ark., declared here today in addressing the annual meeting of the -educational Association of the Meth odist Episcopal church, South. Dr. Workman, in concluding his address, gave as his idea of the uses Jto which the' chapel exercises could be •put the following six : 1. In reviewing the history of the early settlers oT America. 2. In the characters of the more recent leaders. 3. In singing songs, patriotic and deeply spiritual. - 4. in special services conducted by students of religioiur,leadership. .LA In revival se#flces led by those ' -wWo know student tlWumhare sym pathetic with It. 6. Chapel services should be large ly an opportunity for inspiration. “The chapel should be kept as free as possible from those college activi ! ties that do not create religious ideas.” IDr. Workman said. "The college chapel is useful in affording an op portunity to rehearse in the presence j of the future leadership of the church, the history of our own nation. “They need to know what were the motives leading the early settlers to America. They need to know why the more truly American type of citizens 1 ‘is still south of the Mason and Dixon line. The difference between the ear ly settlers of Charleston and New I York is the difference between the ideals of the South and East of today. “Henry Cabot Lodge sayß that in proportion to their numbers the Huguenots have given to the Ameri can republic more men of character and ah’lity than any other class of early settlors in America. Georgia and the Carolinas were settled by Protestants. The Pr.’.'itans, Highland ers and Moravians laid a spiritual foundation in the South. The early j Dutch settlers of New York were, 1 while moral and civic in their ideals, not spiritually minded.” Dr. Workman recalled that every President of the United States from Washington to Coolidge had been re ligious. The Henderson-Brown president said he does not find it necessary to have the regular evangelists of the church conduct chapel exercises. Spec ial services should be conducted “by the men preparing for the ministry” who would be “strengthened by lead ing in this work,” he asserted. With Onr Advertisers.

I J. ’ ' * Opportunities in North Carolina Superior To Those in Florida Raleigh, Feb. 3.—UP)—Opportuni ties in North Carolina, “agricultural ly and otherwise,” are now “far su perior" to those available in Florida, Frank Parker, crop statistician of ttop department of agriculture of this I state, declared here today. aftVr eom | plating a seven-months survey of Flor ida. Mr. Parker's comment, however, was not meant ns any disparagement of Florida. “Thero is a real basis for Florida's reputation,” lie declared: and he paid tribute to the beauty of the flora and the “absolutely delight ful" climate. But Mr. Parker pointed out that North Carolina has as much diversi fication, east and west, nK Florida has, nort'.i and south; that the moun tains of the western half of this sec tion are rapidly coming to be almost as important in a tourist sense as is j the east coast of Florida; and that i “outside the fruit industry, Florida j offers very little in comparison with j North Carolina” agriculturately. “Florida," pointed out Mr. Park-1 er. "is the most talked-of state in the j union. On the one hand are those who nre enthusiastic and optimistic over its possibilities: then there are the others who know it as a balloon and that it is already over-due to burst. After having spent a part of seven months traveling over Florida for the particular purpose of studying its possibilities and probabilities, Mr. Parker has come to the concision that “there is a real basis for Florida’s reputation, and one worthy of study.” He advances this conclusion, not as “propaganda, but merely as ail honest opinion.” “The only way to understand it all is to go. see, study carefully and make comparisons. One must look beneath the surface of any widely advertised situation to learn true conditions. There is an old saying that where there is smoke, fire will usually be found. “Florida really has much to offer, blit she has dangerous as well as good opportunities. It is a good state to offer inspiration and belief in the possibilities of real estate develop ments. Far-sighted men may, to good advantage, go there and get ideas, carry them back to their home towns and improve their natural surround ings advantageously. “Her biggest word-factor and the most unanswerable argument ad vanced is that of ‘climate.’ Os course, the best climate "is that to be found in the southern half of the state and particularly nearer the southern end. As may be expected, even the climate is exaggerated. North of Palm Beach, it takes considerable ‘nerve’ to ‘en joy’ lake and surf bathing in the winter, but the climate and flora is absolutely delightful. “Most critics immediately advance the idea that there is no real basis for Florida's phenomenal rise in real estate values: that she has no basic industries nor agricultural develop ment, outside a limited citrous indus try ; that she is too far south and isolated from the rest of the United States to develop other than the ag ricultural industry, and this indus try offers its best opportunity where the cheapest lands can be bought. Thus outside of a limited trucking and eitrous development, Florida has little to offer, in an actual agricul tural development, as compared with TWO ARE KILLED BY INHALING DEADLY GAS Another Rendered Unconscious at a Georgia Liquor Still. Austell, Ga.. Feb. 3.—(A I ) —Two persons were killed and another rend ered unconscious by inhaling a dead ly gas supposed to have been generat ed by a moonshine liquor still at one of James W. Freeman here today. Mr. Freeman and Joe Morgan, a neighbor, were killed, and Mrs. Free man was overcome by the gas when she attempted to drag the two men to safety. The still was reported concealed in a cave beneath a chicken house at the Freeman residence.- A coroner’s inquest was begun at the Freeman home soon after the bodies were found. Dr. F. L. Garrett, Austell physi cian, examined the bodies and treated Mrs. Freeman. She told him, the physician said, that he saw the plight of the two men and attempted to drag them from the cave. “The first thing I knew,” Dr. Gar rett quoted the woman as saying, “I became very dizzy and when I recov ered consciousness I was ill a puddle of water near the ihouth of the cave.” Mrs. Freeman dragged herself to Morgan’s home across the road and summoned assistance. Chief of Police Brooks stated that apparently tfie two men had just started a large “run" of liquor when rendered unconscious by the poison 1 gas. i 1 Want to Force Action on Anthracite Situation.

Smith Will Speak to Rowan County Farmers. Washington.

A wonderful feat stands to the credit of an English girl typist, Miss Mitchell, who in a recent test in l Paris achieved 8153 strokes a minute, 1 a record that has never been ap-- proached by any other typist. North Carolina, in the peninsula part of the state. " As a matfer cf face state from either Va .*y - .A g sonville, one may dX ’ " xff ; through county after c\ . „-<-irncf see very little more than abandoned farms and out-over land. The aban donment is largely due to the rise in real estate values, causing most farmers to take more interest in land selling than in crop growing. “Thus it is evident that outside of the fruit industry. Florida at prres ent offers very little in comparison with North Carolina. That she has great possibilities, there is no doubt, but there is little probability of agri culture developing extensively in the peninsular area within the next few years! “Until the advancing boom hits the ] northern counties heavier, agriculture | will still rerunin a large factor there, j Hamilton, Madison, and Suwanee j counties are rapidly growing import ant as tobacco counties. Melons, pea- I nuts, potatoes, and other similar crops i may be grown to great advantage j from Lake City westward, with prices of farm land reasonable in this area. “Os course the climate is temper ate, with occasional freezes. Along the southeastern const area, where resorts nre most mprominent. the ag ricultural industry is of minor im portance and is rapidly making way for resort purposes. As a banana bonanza, there is no hope. Cocoa nuts would probably do well on the southern end, from St. Lucie county southward. . “It is difficult to compare agricul ture in the two states, as both have their peculiar advantages. North Carolina has as great diversification as does the real agricultural section of Florida. She is nearer to markets and has her agriculture very much better developed. With the excep tion of a few North Carolina coastal counties, agriculture is more or less uniformly spread over the state. “There is not the discontent and real estate speculative interference that exists in Florida. Wc have a much better immediate local market ing opportunity, especially in the sum mer time. Our climate is not suffi ciently severe to really offer a draw back. We can grow many field and garden crops throughout the winter. With the improved roads, the winter weather does not interfere with travel on the highways, so that farm peo ple can get to and from town with comparative ease. “Florida offers a wonderful diversi fication from north to south, but Nortji Caroling offers an equal varia tion from east to west to take leare of many of the attractive’ TOfWre* in the sub-tropics. Without a doubt, our mountains are becoming a strong summer competitor with Florida’s winter attractions. “It was noticed that perhaps few er North Carolina automobiles were in Florida than most any other state. It was thought by many that the main reason for this was due to the content that people in North Carolina have as a resistant to the reputed Florida lure. "Certainly those really familiar with the situation feel that the oppor tunities in North Carolina, agricul turally and otherwise, are now far superior to those available in Flor ida.” SELECTING JURORS IN THE BOWMAN CASE State Seeking Jurors Without Mili tary Service But With Daughters.
