ANDERSON Baptist (Church Crowded By Hundreds Eager To Hear Russian Missionary PAINTS GRAPHIC PICTURE Rev. C. W. Anderson, who for twenty-two years' has Jabored as a ?-sionary in Russia, spoke to a ?ded house at the First Baptist burch last Sunday night where all' the churches of the community ^ gathered for the purpose of j l^ing Rev. Mr. Anderson. Anderson gave a very grap Tcription of the religious and J conditions in Russia both . and since the establishment' rSoviet Russia. He showed how at povery and ignorance in the hands of a powerful monarchy and a corrupt state church paved the way for the establishment of Com munism. He warned his hearers to be aware of the propaganda of the communists who lasit year spent $260,000,000 for the spread of their doctrine while thousands were com pelled to starve in Russia because they would (not subscribe to it. He stated that a great deal of the labor trouble In this country was due to Communist influence. He also stated that many groups had been organ ized and that a good deal of work of real serious nature had been ? done among the colored folk of this country. Mr Anderson stated that it was almost Impossible to gather the real truth about Conditions in Rus sia because of the rigid censorship exercised. Communism, he states, not only denies the right of religious wor ship, but that any one who refuses to denounce God and all.religious belief is not allowed to secure any' kind of work nor are they allowed to buy- anything, arm they are-not allowed to. receive any aid . from outside nor are they allow^S"*"*) leave the country so that there is nothing left for them to do but to surrender to Communism or starve to death. Mr. Anderson, being a modest man, did not state to his audience that his own two children were thus starred to death 'and that his wife had died as the result of such ex posure. Communism.does not only deny re ligion but ^Iso denies love, for there is no marriage relations, and while every girl who has reached the age of sixteen is required to give birth to a child once a year, the child is not hers but belongs to the state and the child does not have either father or mother that he may claim as his own for everything and every body belongs to the state. It is the boasted ambition of the Soviet leaders to make the whole world communistic. ^,Mr- Anderson spoke for an hour Bd the whole audience desired him W continue longer, but he declined to continue. It is earnestly hoped that we may have the pleasure of another visit from Mr. Anderson before he leaves this section.

All have good health, able and will ing to work. The father Is a man with average j mental ability, can plan for future about as well as his neighbor. How ever, when the lean years came, he was caught as many others were. During 1931 the family was a. cropper who lived on the farm of a man who was not able to give him much advantage. A small crop of tobacco, and a little corn, also just a sipall garden and a few potatoes. During that year crops were very poor and prices were low. Hence, very little was realized from his year's work. Winter came on, cloth es were not sufficient, not even for scant comfort. The only means for food supply was the small wage from a few days of dally labor. The win ter was hard. Children could not go to school, had to stay home by the fire In order to be comfortable. 1932 was even worse. The father was not able to furnish supplies with which to make a crop, there fore, no one would rent him land or give him a share crop. Nothing was left but to work by the day as he was able to find work. A limited amount of the .simplest kind of food . was all he could provide?no clothes ah nil were possible. _ 1933 was somewhat a better year. By the help of the neighbors he succeeded In finding a place to farm. During that year he borrowed money from the Government for fertilizer, seed and food. After a year of hard work he repaid the government and had thirty dollars left to live on through the winter of 1933-34. ^ For 1934 the tenant made a "bar gain" to farm again, but had noth ing to live on during the year. His landlord was not able to furnish him supplies. He only offered land. team, and tools. Through the winter of 1933-34 the father worked on CWA. projects, but was not able to support his family during winter and save enough to support his family during summer. He made application to FERA of Person County for help. His case was carefulv investigated find found to be eligible for relief. On April 6th the Farm Supervisor had a farrrycontract signed by both tenant and landlord. From the date the Person County Relief offlco began to assist the above family. One of the first ef forts put forth by the relief office was to have the farm supervisor vis it the client, to advise and plain a crop for the year. Immediately seed were Issued, food orders for suffi cient amounts were issued and the family seemed to,catch a new hold en life. All of our contract clients have understood from the beginning that all food, feed, tools and other supplies were not given them but ?old. They are required to pay their account with cash, kind or work. Thereafter the farm Super visor and caSe worker paid regular "tsits throughout the summer. Bol'-w are s6me of the results ac ""rpnllshed through Person County re'ief: Oarden seed were issued and with - few weeks vegetables gathered for the table. Hie family had sufficient supply of-rreen vegetables even until now. There are note' seven varieties of green vegetables "|n his girden Protfi one. bag hf white potatoes ?hlrtv-flve bushels were produced. Fifteen bags of sweet potatoes were dug.. He produced enough onions for a Lt year's supply. Five dozen jars of vegetables were canned. Several jars of Jelly and much dried fruit and vegetables were stared. Forty gallons of molasses were made. . ..... Four bushels of black eye peas were gathered. The client has one 300 lb. hog. All the above food belongs to the client, the landlord agreed to re ceive no part. Below is the client's share crop: Thirty-five barrels of corn,' the client gets half. Five bushels is the client's part of wheat. He is allotted 2]000 pounds of to bacco on his sales card. He receives half of the above tobacco proceeds, at 30c per pound average, which is $300 cash crop. With the above cash proceeds the client can purchase clothes, school books for his children and food for his family. ? -He now. looks on life as worth living. Family Joy and confidence has been restored. While the direct outlay from relief office is less than $80, a good part of this has already been repaid in labor. The client wishes to become a home-owner. However, he realizes that he will not be able to purchase s farm at present, bOFhas hope for the future. The Rural Renabllitatlon program encourages hirft by offering to as sist him in every way possible to produce more and become able to be self-supporting. The Rural Rehabilitation program will assist him in buying a farm and give him sufficient time In which to pay for it, in this way aid the client to become a home-owner. Henc^ the New Deal has done a good deal.?Cor. Clyde Erwin Settles Down to New Duties Raleigh, Oct, 30.?Clyde A. Erwin, newlyrappointed state superintend ent of public Instruction has taken up his full duties here. . A few hours after he was sworn into office last Wednesday Erwin re turned to his home in Rutherford-, ton, where he was superintendent of county schools, to clear up a number of business matters. He returned to his office yester day. He said he did not plan any immediate meeting of the state board of education, since there are not pressing matters for discussion. THE GOOD SAMARITAN President Ftoosevelt may some day go down In defeat at the hands of organized wealth. His declaration that "the forgotten man" should come first should commend him to every true-American soul. One of our greatest troubles now is that we have run and left too manv folks behind. We have grab bed up the fat of the land and left no gleanings for the weaklings. The President has not chosen the role of the priest nor of the Levlte. but has rather chosen the work of the good Samaritan, and is caring for the wounded man. the underfed Child, , the heart-broken mother It behooves ^ all honest, symogthetlc people to sustain the President in his efforts to rescue the masses of the people from the clutches of greed -Weekly Herald. ? ?

OFF YEAR RECORD IN VOTING SHOWN BY REGISTRATION Forty-Eight Million Men And Women Qualified Vote Tuesday FIGURE UP SOMEWHAT FOR "OFF-YEAR" BATTLE Washington, Oct. 30.?A high-vol tage voter interest in next Tues day's first nation-wide test of the New Deal, with 47,949,928 men and women qualifying themselves to vote, was shown today by an Asso ciated Press compilation. This figure, unusually high for an "off-year" battle, was indicated in a gathering of registrations and of ficial estimates of voting strength in all the states which ballot No vember 6. I Although falling a million below II h e record registration brought about by the Roosevelt-Hoover Pres idential contest In 1932. the esti mate Is more than 5,000,000 above that for the Hoover-Smith election in 1928. Two yars ago the number of qualified voters as revised from lat est statistics, was 48.962,530. The actual vote in the Presidential con test was 39,791,886. a record. It com pared with 36,798,669 votes cast "in the 1928 race. While the absence of a Presiden tial contest this year is responsible for some falling off. spirited cam paigns for Senate seats, the Gover nor's chairs in some states and hot races for the House of Representa tives in many districts, have spur red voters to qualify. While the majority of states in dicate an increased voting strength as compared with two years ago, a score of co mmonwealths show a falling off in qualified voters. ? ! Despite the tense races in New York, that State's estimated voting strength this year is 4.786,000? more than half a million below the 1932 figure. Pennsylvanians, who have hotly contested Senatorial and Guberna torial races, have registered in even larger number than in the last Presidential year. The 4,192,241 regT istrations are 280,000 higher than in 1930. Illinois, having no races for Sen ator or Governor, shows lagging In terest in the congressional races. The indicated voting strength there -thin year has dropped almost half a million, to an estimtaed 3.660,000. . California, with its intensive race ; for Governor, shows a quarter of a million more voters have qualified this year than in the Roosevelt Hoover race. Present registrations total 3,140.114. Ohio, having both Senatorial and Gubernatorial races as well as Con gressional, seems to have less in terest than two years ago. Indica tions are there will be 143.000 less voters this year. The total estimated voting strength is 3,327.600. Comparatively little interest , is being shown in North Carolina, but registration figures indicate a re ti tration of 885,000 as compared (p.h 800.000 in the 1932 election. ..There were 711,590 votes cast that year, but nothing like that number of votes Is expected to be cast in the Old North State this year. New jersey's registration is small er than two years ago by 57,000 with a total of 1,954.678. Massachusetts shows increased Interest with an estimated strength of 1,850.000. or 54,000 more than two years ago, due tq the contests for Governor and Senator. I Indiana, Michigan. Minnesota, and Missouri, with voting strengths of more than a million each, show de creased interest- this year. | , Iowa, Kentucky. Texas and Wis consin .also having more than a million qualified voters, have gain ed in Indicated voting strength this year. All citisens'. qualified to vote do not qualify.
