RICHARD REPLIES
> TO COMMITTEE
Surprise has been expressed that
Rev. Joe'B. Curtin would have writ
ten such a letter as the one ,in the|
last' issue of vThe Courier and asked i
the committee to - put their names'
on the dotted lines. But even if
Brother; Currin did write it, it is no
surprise to Richard, as I understand
that the Rev. Joe B. gets quite a!
slice each month out o^ D. H.
.Qt-umpton's wages. This being the;
case, he can afford talk in favor
of Mr. Crumpton. He accvses Rich
ard of indiscretion in letting the
people of our good county know what i
we are doing in Allensville. For my
own partt I certainly am not
ashamed for the County and State
to know how I stand on any public'
matter. It will indeed be a sad dayj
when a small group, of men. can * sup
press and keep from the public just)
how they are handling the public's [
funds and making use of the pco- *
pie's money without even consulting
them as to how ft should be expen
ded..
This committee contends in their
letter tat those who opposed Crump- j
ton did not let them know anything
about it until they had already em-!
ployed^ ?him. If they had, things
might have been different. Show
me one man outside of ycur own
ring who know anything: about when J
you ititended to appoint him nnd 1 '
am confidents can Show you twenty!
who did ttot know anything about !
it. You gave us no possible chance
to hav* any say so as to whom you
employed. Why? Because Mr.
Crumpton had a brother on this [
Committee and this brother had t
great influence aver their chairman,'
and in reslity I think these two com
posed the committee. This being the
case, there can be no surprise as to
the result;
seifths "that" this eommitte*
thinks that those eighteen who
signed the petition against Mr.
Crumpton were either so ignorant on
such big fools that they were misled
into signing it when in reality they,
loved this man Crumpton. This is|
an insult^to the intelligence of those j
who signed this petition; for they!
are just as intelligent as those who!
favored Crumpton and, I contend, a|
great deal more so. It was not;
Richard who- said those__ugly_ words]
when the boiler blew, up in one of.
the school buildings; but I did say j
if Crumpton had ordered .the boy the |
third time to turn the water cn re-'

ST A Y I NT. IN" SCHOOL
The fathers and mothers of our j
County are to be congratulated on !
keeping their children in school in- j
stead of stopping theiji at the close
of the six months term. All over
the County the parents are wakrng
to the fact that a child can not make
a grade in months, but it takes !
eight months. Two years of * ix !
months each takes too much time j
out of the school life. - It takes ele
ven grades to complete a course at
a standard high school. The student
begins at six years of age and fin
ishes the high school at seventeen
years of age if he makes a grade _
a year. But' if he goes only-' six
months and has to put ip two years
to a grade it will take him a long .
time to complete his course. But
many get discouraged and drop out :
when they have ' to stop" school and
get behind their classes. However,
we find quite a difference now from
ttiat of former years. The high
^chools are making a fine average
this year ? the best by a geod deal
that I hove ever known. The De
partment Commencement this year
is a great success. It is so much
better than to have such long com-;
meneemont.^.
Sincerely,
J. A. BEAM.

Steward is making hisj
plans. The day has come when the
churches of our land are in need. 1
Our churches are built according to!
style, they have their stained glass,?
they have the modern equipment5
and other conveniences, but our,
churches need more Christians. Thej
"country ? needs Christians who are
ready to pay their debts, people whp
_ar? wiling to shake hand9, persons,'
jwho are determined to learn about j
fGod and man, and church members j
who will ge to church regardless of I
fthe . weather. The East Roxboro and!
JLonghurst charge is trying to have'
revivals this year that will build
*h?_ church members. Grace church
had an 18 day revival. The members
Were helped, many went to the al
tar but some did not go to the re
jvival at all. Listen, now readers,
we are to have a revival at Long
ftupt, jt begins May 10th. 1925 at
'21 A. M., and you are expected to
attend the services until the bene
diction is pronounced ' the last tiirre.
Vou need this revival, you need re
ligion.
Tho Steward -Goodchild Evfcnge
listic Party of Burlington, K. C.t
will do the work. They are coming
to the school building at Longhurst
and they expect tof meet you there.
People* these mten are coming tx>
bring the Gospel to you and they
expect to see you accept it. Come
out of those houses, get off those
proud dresses, cut that- "high' so
ciety" lose from your life and get
limed up for usefulness. Too many
'people are in the churches ? persona
who have never claimed enough re
ligion to save a drownding pig. Too
many people are lodging the prea-J
cher, . some of you people who are '
afraid to .have a talk with your Pas-!

Some of you people who never pay

MOTHER'S DAY

Which we set aside for Mother,
And we call it ? Mother's Day.

We dedicate to Mother,
But in her heart 'she thinks of yoo.
Cine day, same as another,
"She watched over you when a baby,
' She taught you the right from tbe
wrong,
J^he was always on duty to serve you
Tho the day to her, often was lony.
So if she's in the land of the livinj?
If from her you have wandered,
'away,
j Let her know you are thinking of
| her, * '
Wear a flower />f red, today.
And if she has passed on to that
other shore,
If she's waiting for you over there.
Don't gTeive, but be glad she is
happy,
t A white flower in her memory wear.
I for there's no one as true as a
mother,
She gave you your hnppiest hours, ?
So today; lets pause t in the world'*

Wp have leased the Motley Ware
house, South Boston, Va., for the
ensuing season for the sale of loaf
tobacco under the style name firm
of Bass, Adams and Powell".
We are men of experience in the
warehouse tobacco business and ? '
your every interest will be looked
after. This house is well lighted
and eonevniently arranged for it*
patrons and you can make no mis
take by patronizing us for .the high
dollar. We will have a competent
force to do the work, and they will
be the actual employees.
We wish to say that owing to the
small percent the warehouse busi
ness is done on that we will abso
lutely have no commission men and
furthermore, we must treat all of
our friends alike. It is not right
and just to give your nt*xt door
nnighbor a commission of from 25
to 60 per cent of_ his charges* and
you, placing your tobacco on the
same floor by his, pay full char-'
gcs. As we hav6 said, the "business
is based on a small per cent and
will not justify dividing charges to
all and to allow one or two in a sec
tion is' an injustice to the rest, so,
'thcrefs re. to do u' clean
business we have adopted this policy
in o.Wler to treat our fellow man
alike. ?
