liter on _foquest HAPPY NEW YEAR HI & new year is born and an old year dies. It’s time to hang up a new calendar, make good resolu tions and be at peace with the world. But after all, a new year U begins every day,- even though the \ calendar may disagree. Every day affords just as great an oppor tunity to make good resolutions and to keep them as does January 1st. If the maker of good resolu tions remembers this, it may be easier for him to keep them. At any rate, we wish to those who make good resolutions and keep them, to those who make good resolutions and break them and to those who make no resolutions at all an exceedingly Happy New YeaEs Day and a 1928 filled with days each happier than the day before. A VISIT FROM ROLAND TUR NER EXPECTED The announcement quoted iir last Month’s Messenger from Mr. W. E. White that Mr. Roland Tur ner, the agricultural agent of the development service of the South ern Railway, was being invited to; make addresses in Caswell arid ad joining counties on the proposed condensery for Mebane in parti cular and on the dairying industry for this section in general, will be received with pleasure by the niim; ber of friends and acquaintances which Mr. Turner made when in Caswell last year. Mr. Turner “knows his onions” about fanning and dairying, and about the vital relation which farming and dairying sustain to the present and future develop ment of the states of the Atlantic seaboard, which includes North Carolina. What he says along this line is worth listening to by any one who wants to see our section ^ develop. gouthern Railway is not en gaged in child’s play when it sende Mr. Turner out to talk farming and dairying, and pays lvs salary and all expenses. The officers of the Southern I have envisioned a more prosper ous country-side along the lines of its railroads and are engaged j in the great creative task of help ing to make those dreams come; true. Caswell will welcome Mr. Tur ner as a co-worker in bringing this county up to a higher stand ard of economic prosperity, thus insuring a better support for the schools, churches and all cultural opportunities. NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI IS PROSPERING In an article found in the Manu facturers Record, published in Bal timore, which our friend Mr. W. j E. White, of Mebane, was kind en ough to send us, and which is be ing published in this issue of the Messenger, we learn that the Nor thern part of the State of Missis sippi is prospering. The reason given for the pros perity of northern Mississippi is that dairying has been introduced into that part of the State, follow ed by several condenseries and cheese factories. And the reason given by the writer of the article referred to is that the business men of that section have demon trated an interest in rural prob lems and in the dairy business. Nothing is more certain than that what has been done in Missis sippi can be done in North Caroli na along this line.' The condense ry that is proposed for Mebane, for which we are all working can be secured and maintained if the people of Alamance, Caswell, Orange, Person, Chatham and Rockingham Will realize the great advantage which a condensery will be to this section and will * exert every effort to secure its h> f ;: cation in our midst. The farmers, both white and colored should be eager to guar • antee a supply of milk, and the business men should be willing to work,night and day to bring such £|§ f huge business enterprise to the Be* The humerous remarks that "every month is Christmas” in Northern Mississippi can be made true of Alamance and adiacenl th* same sense if out j COI^OXE!* LINDBERGH AiN was going. His answer was, “Be cause President Calies invited me.” There was also something about hie always wanting to visit I Mexico, and possibly something a bout aviation, which, by every in dication, is the passion of his life. But tlj,e invitation of President Calies was the first, and apparent ly the primary, reason for the (light. It must have occurred to man' persons to go further and at least want to know why President Calies extended the invitation. There one steps into the realm of speculation There is no reason why President Calies shot)Id not extend the invi tation, and many reasons why he might feel it a pleasant thing to do. , In addition to the visit to Mexi co there are now to be visits to Central American countries, where no doubt the same warm reception will be extended the flier. And on top of that is a contemplated (light to Cuba to be timed with the j arrival of the delegates to the Pan-; American conference which meets in Havana in January. All of this might be attributed! to a variety oi reason, out tne visited and the attendant details j suggest so strongly a genuine dip lomatic move that it is difficult to itiareyard it. The theory is that; Lindbergh is an '‘ambassador’’ of good will” from the United State to various countries. with which the United States is extremely arix ions to be as friendly as possible.! It is strengthened by the obvious j seriousness with which the admin istration regards the coming Pan American conference, to which the United States will send the strong est delegation it has ever sent to an international conference, with ‘ the possible exception of the body’ writing the Treaty of Versailles. Iffft were not for the visit of the | President and of his secretary of state, that would be so. But their presence, and the expected attend ance of the presidents of many South American republics, ungues tionably make it so, and Siiggest that other countries feel the same | way. That is a known fact. By the j side of it is the fact that in the weeks prior to its assembling “the! most attractive citizen of the Un ited States” is visiting many of the countries party to the confer ence at the invitation of the pres idents of those countries and as I their official guest. Concerning that fact J. F. Essary, an unusual ly reliable correspondent, writes! to the Baltimore Sun from Wash- ; ington: It is no secret that much of the practical diplomacy organized in j Washington for the Havana con ference has been inspired by Am-1 bassador Morrow. For example,! he suggested to President C-allcs.; it is said here, that Colonel Lind-i bergh make the good-will flight to Mexico City. • The Mexican presi dent acted with enthusiasm and without delay, and’the result has been more that} satisfactory to Washington. Also it is believed to be true that Mr. Morfow suggested the Lindbergh flight be extended to Panama,N Washington officials persuaded Lindbergh to go to Mexico, but to Mr. Morrow7 \\;us left the duty of persuading the young hero of the air to press on through Central America. In brief Lindbergh has be come, the official, as he was the unofficial, representative of the United States, although still re taining an appearance of "unof ficiality.” He is creating the at mosphere Tor an international con ference. He is on government service. There is no pass line oojecuon 10 that form of service. In its pres ent form it has its hazards, but Lindbergh would be taking risk is he were flying in the United States. It combines aviation with good will. But in particular it | serves to emphasize, if the situa jtion has been correctly interpreted ! the seriousness with which Lin idenbergh’s country regards the ! Pan-American conference. Yet that is not so strange. The his tory of the relations of the United States in recent years to repub lics and peoples to the south is such as force this country to rea lize the necessity for building up the confidence that has been de stroyed.—Greensboro Daily News. .. ..r.— * VISITS DR. AND MRS. MALLOY Mrs. W. 0. Spencer of Winston Salem, Mr. Graves Kerr, of Ashe ville, Mrs. Motz and little Marj Kerr Motz, of Milton, are the guesi of Dr. and Mrsr S. A. Malloy or Washington, D. C.,—Dec. 28— The year 1928 will mark the first change in size of paper money since 1861. For months the Bureau of En graving and Printing, the greatest print shop in the world, will be busy making new and smaller $1 bills so that upon some fixed day next fall they may be issued sim utaneously throughout the country and the old ones retired at one swoop, to be redeemed, of course, upon demand. Notes of other de nominations will be printed and put in circulation probably in 1929. The new notes will be 6 5-16 by 2 11-16 inches whereas the notes npw in circulation are 7 7-16 by 3 1-8 inches. By the change the Government expects to save $2, 000,000 annually. The reduction in size of the hills is expected to1 increase'the capacity of the Bu reau of Engraving and Printing by 50 per cent because twelve of the smaller notes can be printed at one impression upon the same press which now prints but eight.; Through the change in size the bills will be made more convenient to handle and will also be morel durable, the new notes will slip into a bill-fold or pocket, it is claimed, without creasing or tout ing, and for this reason are ex pected to have a much longer life: than those now in use. The life: of the average bit! now is not.more* than six or seven months, treasu ry officials say. Folding is one; Of the thief items cutting short the life of paper money. Designs on the bills are also toj be standardized. Many designs; now appear on the different de nominations and the various kinds of notes. Washington’s portrait,! for example, appears both on the $1 and some $20 bills. Treasury officials point cm that through standardizing the designs I the new notes, cannot be so easily j “raised” to higher denominations by the crooked gentry who make this thir business. In addition to; standardized designs on the new j paper money there will be a re lations between the portrait on the, face and the engraving on the back, ex.eepi in the cases of the $1 bill and those above $100. On the face of the new $1 bill! will be the portrait of Washington! and on the back will be the word “ONE” in large letters. Oh the I $2 bill will be a portrait of Jejfer-. son with an engraving of Monti-! cello, his home, on the back; Lincoln’s portrait will be on the! face of the $5 bill with the Lin coln Memorial for the back.' Ham- j ilton’s portrait will appear on the; face of the $10 bill and the Tre;u - i ury Building on the back. For the face of the $20 bill Grover Cleve land’s portrait has been chosen, j with the White House for the back Grant’s portrait will be on the face of the $50 bill, Benjamin Franklin's one the $100, McKin ley's on the. $500, Jackson’s on the $1,000, Madison's on the $5,000. and Chase’s on the $10,000. All designs have been approved although some may be changed la ter. No retirement of money-making machinery will be necessitated by the change, it is said. BAD FIRE IN DANVILLE LAST TUESDAY MORNING An investigation of the flue of the furnace in the basement of the Seminole a par at merits which were gutted by fire on Tuesday morning with heavy property loss by the owner and thosh occupying the apartments, by Hire Chief Mitchell, showed that the flue was not defective, but that the slight adjustment of it would have pre vented one of the most serious fir es in this city, in which many liv es were endangered because of the | dense smoke. The flue was loose and heat and sparks escaped. ' Etfcht families occupying the apart ; ments narrowly escaped suffoca tion as they groped their way down the long flights of stairs to the front door while the building I was filled with smoke, i The negro who attended the fur jnace arrived at the apartment about five o’clock and as hev open ed the cellar door the flames swept jout. He immediately called the fire department which responded ' quickly. The heroic work of the i firemen was largely responsible for saving o fthe fiuilding from ! complete destruction. The firemen fought the fire for | four hours before they finally over k'ame it. The flames had eaten tffeir way from the basement of the building to the roof with a jgrapping hole through various i floors close to the brick chimney, | which is the center of the building when gotten under control. have found the gas meters shoot ing out flames feeding the fire which had already reached several stories. The building was in dark ness as all electric wires had been severed and occupants found dif ficulty i nthreading their way out of the dense smoke. Neighbors provided for the unfortunate ones of the fire. Those who were out of town were wired and friends took charge of their effects. Many prepared hot coffee and served it to those who were fighting the fire and those who-were forced out of the building. The firemen at one time feared that the fire would get beyond con trol and catch the frame apart ment belonging to Dr. J. E. Tay lor, which is close to the Seminole apartment. While the fire was in no ways spectacular but damage done to the building alone is expected to be around $30,000, not counting the loss that the occupants suffer ed in the way of furniture and property. The furniture in all of the apartments was practically ruined by the heat, fire, smoke and Water, and was warped of discol ored, and will have to be replaced by new furniture. It is under stood that very little insurance was carried by the households on their furniture.—Danville Regis ter. CHRISTMAS TREE AT BETHEL The Sunday School of Bethel Methodist Church enjoyed a Christ mas tree and program last Monday night. Supt. J. A. Cobb was in charge of the program and' was assisted by a number of the teach ers and pupils. Following the program by the school, Santa Claus entered and delivered a large number of presents after which /packages containing fruits and candies were handed out. A large crowd was present to enjoy the evening. ~s CHRISTMAS TREE AT PROSPECT! The Prospect Sunday School celebrated Christmas on last Sat urday night at the church with a Christmas program, tree and San ta Claus. After the exercises of the efehlhif; Santa Claus came out and delivered the presents. wMwmMsaauamm iwiT.%iearam Bargains.
