'I'he daily attendance record was marred by the pressure of work on the farm, although there were 3() who received awards for ])erfect at tendance, and one day’s record s'howed an attendance of G9 for the day. 'I'he school was under the direc tion of R. 15. lAul’ree, who served as superintendent of the Interme diate department. Those serving as his assistants were: Miss Mar garet Slagle, beginners; Mrs. Wil son Smart and Miss Rachel Slagle, primary; Airs. J. A. l-'lanagan, jimior; Afrs. R. 15. DuPree and the kev. J. A. Flanagan, young i)eople. The church was taxed to its ca pacity for rooms for the six divi- sio.ns of the school, and one group, the beginners, was cared for under a tent outside the church. The commencement exercises were lield on Saturday morning, July 25, in connection with the annual Sun day school picnic at the Lowery home on the Georgia road, where more than 175 people gathered to enjoy the exercises. Among these were representatives from Virginia, 'I'ennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, I'lorida and North Carolina. Alto gether t'his was the largest and iiio.s't interested school yet conduct ed and the largest number in at- tenflance at the annual Sunday school picnic, which was the twenty- second held, almost without a break, at the I.owery home.

Hos tetler, professor of animal husban dry .at State college, in J^e, hogs were worth o.nly $3.63 per hundred pounds. In June of this year their value was almost three times that amount, yet the price of corn has advanced to only about twice its value in 1932. 15ecause corn and hogs go hand Ln hand in the corn belt section or the United State.s, it is only na tural that corn and hog prices should follow each other closeliy, points out Hostetler. So now is the time to raise more pigs while corn prices are low. Xorth Carolina is better suited for the raising of swine than the Al id-Western states, declares Hos tetler. Not only is there an abund ance of feed available for commer cial hog production but there is also a milder climate. This permits a greater use of forage crops and requires less erpensive housing. Then, too, this state is within a reasonable distance of the 'highest market in the United States, New York and vicinity. Another distinct advantage, points out Hostetler, is that there is plenty of protein suppleme.nts to corn such as fish meal, cottonseed meal, soy bean meal, and peanut meal. These products are all high in nitrogen and are relatively cheap because they can be fed in the vicinity ir Evangelist Coming The Rev. J. Clyde Plexico (above) evangelist of Marietta, Ga., is ex pected to arrive Saturday to con tinue a series of special services which started Wednesday evening at the Alorrison Presbyterian church on the Georgia road, according to an announcement by the pastor, the Rev J A. Flanagan. Pending the arrival of Mr. Plexico, the services are being conducted by the Rev. F. Ray Riddle, pastor of the Shan- don Presbyterian church of Co- lum'bia, S. C, Mr. Plexico for a number of years was in the pas toral field, hut he now devotes his endeavors to evangelistic work. All Men^s and Ladies’ White Sho es At Cost i ill Men’s $1.49 Up .
