RAISE FEND IN MEMORY
MISS CONSTANCE CLINE
Money Will Be Esed to Establish a
Scholarship In School in India.—
Services During Week.
A more impressive service has nev
er been held in St. James Lutheran
Church that that on yesterday. With
the large church auditorium filled the
Missionary Society asked the congre
gation to subscribe in cash in five
minutes five hundred dollars as a
memorial fund in memory of Miss
Constance Cline. This fund will be
used to endow a scholarship for a
ministerial student in the new Andhra
Christian College in India for boys.
It had been the ambition of Miss
Cline to educate a boy in the South
ern Lutheran Church for the minis
try, but on account of failing health
this desire was never carried out.
The cause was presented by Mrs. S.
A. Wolff, president of the society, and
Mrs. R. E. Ridcnhour, leader of one
of the groups, and the pastor. In
less than five minutes $648 was sub
scribed. This fund will be used as
an endowment for the tuition of an
India boy in preparation for the min- J
istry in the Lutheran Church in In
■ dia. It is the hope to make this
| one thousand dollars so that two
scholarships might be established in
memory of Miss Cline, whose interest
in missions was so widely feit.
i At this same service a fine class of ]
twelve catechumens was confirmed!
and others received by letters or tvans-1
fers. Others will be confirmed at j
i the early service on Easter Sunday j
I morning Holy Week services will |
be held in this church each night dur-!
ing the week, except on Friday when

POLA’S LATEST A
SPANISH ROMANCE
Theodore Roberts a Visitor on Set of
New Paramount Production.
Pola Negri gratefully acknowledges
that Theodore Roberts, "grand old
man of the screen,” helped inspire
her in making ‘’Flower of Night," her
latest Paramount production, which
will be the feature at the Star Thea
tre today and Tuesday.
Mr. Roberts, who has practically
recovered from his long illness, was
an almost daily visitor to Miss Ne
gri's set.
The picture has its most Important
setting in San Francisco in the years
following the gold discovery and a
number of the important characters
are Vigilantes. The Vigilantes were
a igroup of citizens who banded to
gether to stfimp out lawlessness. j
Robert's father was a California
pioneer and one of the prominent
Vigilantes. Between sconces Roberts
would tell I’ola stories of the at
mosphere and happenings of the days
in which “Flower of Night” takes
place, recounting, also, incidents told
him by such old-timers as Bam Bren
nan. William T. Coleman and Joseph
Winans. His interest kindled I’ola's
enthusiasm.
Theodore Roberts was born within
two blocks of the famous Bella Union
saloon, on Kearney Street, between
Washington ami Jackson, in Ban
Francisco. They sold the home and
later it was swallowed up in what
became San Francisco's Chinatown. I
The home was destroyed by the San
Francisco fire two years after the
Roberts family disposed of it. j
The California Pioneers, in which
Mr. Roberts inherits a membership
from his father, was composed of
pioneers who arrived in the Golden
State prior to 18-10.
“Flower of Night.” a romantic,
colorful drama, was ritten by Joseph
Hergesheimer especially for Miss Ne
gri. It was adapted for the screen'
by Willis Goldbeck and directed by-
Paul Bern. Warner Oland plays
a “heavy" role.

Forest Hill Methodist Church. |
“Keep yourself free of sin. and
you ran retain your strength," Rev.
Roy T. Stouts told members of “Our
Sunday Gang" in a special service
at Forest Hill Methodist Church
yesterday afternoon. I
One hundred and fifty-eight mem
bers of the organization were present
for the service.
The life of Sampson was used by
Mr. Houts in his striking sermon.
Sampson, he told the boys, was able
to overcome his enemies so long as
he remained in faith with God, but
when he yielded to sin he lost his
power. This is true of every man.
woman and child today. Mr. Houts
said. Sin and evil strip people of
their strength and leave them at the
mercy oftheir foqs and enemies.

Work on the Big Power Dam May !
Start Within Few Weeks. j i
| Stanly News-Herald.
That the Carolina Power and Light
Company will commence work on the
big dam that will span the Pee Dee
River near Norwood within a few
weeks, is the belief of J. S. Mclnnis,
manager of the right-of-way ileparj- :
I ment of the Carolina Light and Pow
! or Company. According to Mr. Mcln
nis, the dam will be built just above
where the Norfolk Southern railroad
j crosses the Pee Deo.
I The dam will reach from one hill
| top on the Stanly side to another ou
the Montgomery. It will be seventy
feet in height and will cost approxi
mately ten millions of dollars. The
pond or lake will cover something
j more than 6.000 acres of land. The j
waters of this lake will reach up the j
I river to the lower Bailin dam.
Eighteen months is the time esti
mated that it will take to build this !
dam. When finished it will be one
! of the largest in the state. It will i
be used for generating electricity:
which will be used in both North and j
South Carolina.
This will mean much to Stanly I
county and Montgomery in more ways
than one. This development when
completed will furnish employment
for several hundred men and the ul
timate result may terminate in the
building up of a new town for Stanly
county. The completion of this de
velopment will also mean that Stan
ly county is the leading power county
in the South.
Mr. Mclnnis stated to the News-
Hbrald writer that the Carolina Pow
er and Light Company had purchased
a large number of different tracts of
' land within the last several days and
they expect to finish up in a few more
days.
Continued Prosperity For Printing
Industry.
Indianapolis, March 2!). —o4*)—The
printing industry in the last year has
escaped the slump usually anticipat
ed after a period of exceptional busi
ness activity and indications arc that
the present era of prosperity will con
tinue indefinitely, said James M.
Lynch, president of the International
Typographical Union. Mr. Lynch
has just completed the checking of
reports from all important jurisdic
tions of the union.
1 “The old cycle of business boom
slump' and recovery seems to be a
thing of the past," Mr. Lynch said.
I “Prosperity is making a long visit
with America and, barring some un
foreseen development, we arc going to
enjoy fluorishing business for many
more months. If employment in all
lines could be more full stabilized,
we would be well insured against
business fluctuations.”

NEWTON ANXIOUS
TO BE ON ROAD 10 I
Matter Will Probably Be Settled, I
Ross Thinks, At Next Highway I
Meeting. I
Raleigh News and Observer. 1
Recently controversy over the
placing of Route 10 between States
ville and Hickory, which has aroused
considerable interest in that section,
is expected to be settled at the next
meeting of the highway commission
ers March 31, George Ross, attorney
for the Highway Commission, sard
yesterday.
Newton has been especially active
in contending that the route come
through Newton, and not only touch I
the town on the north side ns Com-1
missioner Wilkinson finally agreed
to do, but are asking that the road
come into Newton on the south side, |
said Mr. Ross, which would throw i
all the traffic through Newton. r
The present road from Statesville 1
jto Newton is extremely crooked, and i
about six miles longer than the pro-
I posed new road which runs along a
ridge almost in a straight line be
) tween Statesville and Conover,
I which is a few miles north of New
ton. Number 10 between Newton and
Hickory is already paved and the
road south of Newton. If the new
road joined the Newton-Hickory
, loud at Conover, it would throw
southbound traffice through Newton,
but northbound traffic would turn
off a few miles above Newton.
The commissioner agreed to route
the road to the northern edge of the
town. Mr. Ross said, and states that
hp did not know whether there
would be an appeal before the entire
body of the Highway Commissioners
at the next meeting.
SWEAT’S FURTHER
CONFESSION
Says He Saw John Gray Pnur Oil!
Over Bixly of “Dad” Watkins.
Stanly News-Herald. I
Carl Sweat, who has been lodged
1 in the county jail here for sometime (
charged with being a party to the i
| murder of “Dad” AVutkins has done
some more confessing. Mr. ,T. A.
| Little, superior Court clerk, has some
sworn statements made before him
this week by Carl Sweat.
The statements are almost a repe
tition of what he confessed heretofore.
However, lie stated this time that
John Gray poured oil over the body
of Watkins before burning it. He
stated that after the body of AA'at
kins had been drenched with oil John
Gray set fire to the body and the
barn.
He also said that lie saw John
Gray with a sack and that Gray said
he had the head, arms and legs of
'Dad” AA'atkins and was going to take
them to the house of his brother.
He made many more statements,
but about all of the rest proved only
a repetition of what he had already
confessed.
John S. Turner.
Stanly News-Herald.
John S. Turner, an account of
whose death is recorded elsewhere in
his issue of the Stanly News-Herald.
was a Cabarrus county man, but was
as well known in Stanly as he was in
his home county. He lived just
icross the line, hence his friends and
leighbors in this county were num
erous.
His death removes from the two
•ounties, and the entire state, a most
mique character. He was an un
lsual man, both from a standpoint of
physical and mental. Large of
tat lire, he presented the appearance
if a physical giant. Mentally he
was equally large. He lived to a ripe
old age, and his brilliant intellect
never dimmed with age. He remained
the same great big hearted, jovial,
hopeful friend up to the end. He
was a veteran of the Civil AVar, and
made an enviable record as a soldier
luring that great conflict between the
states. He showed the News-Herald
■ditor a “minie hall” driven into a
bridle buckle. “That buckle,” he
said, “saved ray life.” He then went
on to tell of how during the war he
was riding along. He heard the
crack of a rifle. As the rifle cracked
Mr. Turner's horse threw up its head
The bullet struck the buckle on the
bridle and wedged its way in, lodg
ing there without serious injury to
the horse and with no hurt to Mr.
Turner. “Had that horse not thrown
up his head as that rifle fired,” he
said, “this minie ball would have
stricken me full in the breast.”

PASTURE CAMPAIGNS
Total Acreage in Pastures in Some
Counties Has Been Doubled.
Ra’eigh. March 2T.—OP) —AA’itli the
Close of the spring pasture planting
season, which comes about April Ist.
the results of pasture campaigns in
several counties show that the num
ber of demonstrations put on ami the
total acreage planted to pastures this
spring has been more than doubled, i
says S J. Kirby, extension pasture
specialist of the State College of
Agriculture.
A etill larger acreage would have
been planted, Mr. Kirby believes, but
for the shortage of some important
grass seeds, the high prices for seed,
and the lack of readily available cash
among great numbers of farmers this
spring.
"AVe are finding.” says Mr. Kirby,
“that the best way tp get pastures
started in any community is to have
a demonstration jut on by some pro
gressive fanner. An example of this
is shown by J. 8. Morgan, who lives
near Elizabeth City. Mr. Morgan
put in a pasture in 1022 under the
direction of County Agent G. AA r .
Falls. The neighbors stated that
this was an expensive mistake; but
now, after two years’ observation on
the value of this pasture, many neigh
bors are asking the county agent for j
information about how to build up
a similar pasture. There are now j
eight other pastures in that commun
ity which were planted directly as a
result of the success had by Mr. Mor
gnn.”
A number of farmers made mis
takes in seeding pastures by buying
s ine “high sounding.” expensive mix
ture of grass seeds not adapted to the
I locality where planted, says Mr Kir
by. |jt has been found by experience,
he says, that a grower must plant
several grasses suitab’» for the soil
types and local conditions.
When a variety of grasses is plant
ed, the pastures gives greater gains
in file animals grazed, he says, the
grazing period is longer, and the to
tal yield of pasturage is greater.
Mr. Kirby states that he is great
ly pleased with the progress now be
ing made in seeding pastures in the
State, and the increased acreage seed
ed or the old pastures renovated un
: der new plans advocated by the ex
tension service show that the fann
ers are giving more attention to this
phase of preparing for livestock, he
says.
