For the benefit of the advertts
ers and in order to tighten the
work of the editor wc are plan
ning to publish The Messenger a
day earlier in the week.
In order to do this it will be
necessary to have all copy for the
paper in hand earlier than has
been the case.
Will the advertisers and cor
respondents please take notice and
send us all the copy possible by
Friday and Saturday for the week
preceding publication? If this is
done we will greatly appreciate
the favor.
AN APOLOGY
The Messenger was asttea oy
one of its very good friends to
carry an announcement of the
Easter services at Christ Epis
copal church. Miiton. This an
nouncement was tost sight of
among the lafge number of details
connected with getting out last
week's issue of the paper. No one
can regret the oversight as much
as do those who are responsible
for getting out the paper.
It is our purpose and our pleas
ure to serve the public institutions
of the county. We are anxious
to be of any service possible to
the churches, of whatever denom
ination. And we hope that all the
churches will permit us to serve
them through these columns
whenever occasions arise.
To that end we make the re
quest that the pastors and church
officials write off (pn one side of
the letter page) whatever they
wish to appear in The Messenger
and bring or send it to the office.
In this way it will go directly
into the hands of the secretary
and will not fail of publication.
We apologize to the Rector and
members of Christ Episcopal
church for our failure to carry the
announcement of their Easter ser
vice, and heg them to believe that
the omission was wholly uninten
tional.
NEW OFFICE FOR THE MES
SENGER
The Caswell Messenger now
occupies one of the new *ofHcc
rooms recently built by Mr. Julius
Johnson. We cordially invite our
friends to visit us at our new
headquarters.
W'e shall be glad to have visitors
drop in to read the exchanges,
use the writing table or chat a
while.
And bring us the news. We
need news to make a newspaper.
You won't hurt our feelings at all,
Fellows-citizens, if you bring us
some good live news any tittle of
the day or night. That man who
makes up this paper says he likes
to have a lot of good live stuff
for the front page and for every
page thereafter.

THE RIGHTS OF A PEOPLE
The citizens of a commonwealth
save a right to demand that their
epresentatives in the iegislatufe

hem on all moral issues. And
hey have a right to ask and ex
pect that every officer fin the

sent them and carry out the dir
ates of the voters.
in this matter of prohibition
,vhen the anti-prohibitionists of
he country are marshalling every
orce at their command in an ef
ort to abolish or modify the
Eighteenth Amendment to the
Constitution, which prohibits tln
:se and sale of intoxicating
iquors. it behooves all the advo
ates of prohibition to be on their
;uard.
Andnot oHiytnat,
cumhent upon the friends of law
md order to find out beyond the
shadow-of a doubt how all the
candidates for public offices stand
an this question of prohibition.
Wc can not afford to elect at
this time any officials, in county,
^tate o'* national government, who
are not fully and unequivocally
committed to the enforcement of
the prohibition laws of this nation
as embodied in the Eighteenth
Amendment.
Voters will do well to be on
their guard at this point, if they
want the prohibition laws to stay
on the hooks and he enforced,
they should elect men committed
to their continuance and enforce
ment.

The autohiobile is a serviceable

it is a toy to be used as reckless

dictates.
Judge Lane stated in his chargc
to the grand jury last* week that
the motor vehicle is classed as a
dealy weapon, when for any reason
the driver either maims or kills
another person.
The handling of these high

necessary the observance of all

drive them. The state has en^ct

a man and as a preacher. .And
the folks had come out expecting
hint to preach. But when Mr.
Earnhardt had finished his splen
did sermon on ^"Forgiveness" no
cotnplatnt was heard. The hear
ers realized that they had listen
ed to a thinker and a preacher—a
man who could tell in an appeal
ing way how to obtain the forgive
ness of sins.
More than ordinary interest in
tin- affairs of the church was in
dicated by the size of the crowd
which turned out to this Satur
day^meetitig at Semora. the'oeca
sipn being the second quarterly
conference of the Milton circuit
it was observed by some of
those in attendance that the good
ly number present at this week
day preaching service reminded
them of the oid times when the
people were not too busy to ?!op
the plow and drop the broom to
go to religious services.
The Presiding Elder said it did
him gwd to set the members on
the Milton circuit, as welt as a
number of friends and well-wish
ers. taking snjnuch interest in the
work of the Kingdom of God.
As he received the reports Dr.
Bradshaw took occasion from time
to tune eo speak words ot, encour
agement and commendation t<?
otficials and members whose re
ports from the various depart
ments of the church indicated
clearly the earnest spirit of devo
tion and loyalty in which service
to their Lord had been rehdered.
Before adjournment four prin
cipal deregates and four alternate
delegates to the District confer
ence to be held at Chape! Hill,
May 27-28, were elected. The
principals were: ]H. T, Watkins.
Mrs. George W. Scott, f. A.
Woods, and W. W. Pointer. The
alternates were: i Mrs. J. A

the conference.
In addition to the members of
the conference and the citizens
of the immediate community of
Semora, who were present there
were some visitors from Person
county and Washington City.
These were Mr. and Mrs. R . A/

CAMP OZIYA AT MILTON
OCCUPIED BY Y. W GIRLS

Camp Oziya has been a p!ace of
resort for the Danville Y. W. girls
for three years, being open only
during t he summer months. The
month of June this year is Reserve
month for the high school girls,
who, when school is over, will
spend the entire month of June in
camp life at Camp Oziya.
The business and industrial
groups of the Y. W. members will
occupy the camp after June at dif
ferent times during the summer,
each group being in charge of
Miss Fay Hudgins, who is a train
ed Y. W. C. A. worker.
Miss Hudgins said that the new
Danville Y. W. C. A. building
would he finished and ready for
occupancy the first of June, and
that all the members are proud
;of it . '
We team that the people of Mil
ton are charmed to have tamp
Oziya near them, serving, as it
does, as a rendezvous for the
young ladies of Danville when
they come out to enjoy the free
dom and recreation to be found in
the open country. The presence
of so many happy hearted girts,
so it is said, does much to relieve
the monotony of fife for the citi
zens of Milton themselves
! And so from a!! that is said
it is apparent that the members
of the . Danville Y. W. C. A.
have only to make their wishes
known to find a ready response
from their friends and well-wish
ers at Milton.
