Appreciation
117E wish to thank our many friends who helped
to make possible the 28-page "Ten Years of
Progress" edition of The Franklin Press and High
lands Maconian. This was the largest paper that
we have ever issued even larger than we plan
ned and then it did not compass all the progress
that could have been recorded. Towards the last,
many good articles had to be , ruthlessly cut ; also
some stories and illustrations omitted. Some ad
vertisements intended for the special edition are
printed in this paper. '
We see an opportunity, to make a sort of con
tinued story of Macon county's progress through
succeeding issues. We shall endeavor to give the
kind of reliable service that is the distinct field of
the county newspaper. Through common knowl
edge all interests may be served toward unity of
thinking and action, not only for local needs, but
in the broader field of national defense. We be
speak your continued cooperation.
"The Laborers Are Few"
By REV. E. E. SNOW
(We are glad to send this advance message from the evangelist who
will come next week to Macon county "to give ..full' proof of his
ministry." His mission deserves the help of all good citizens.
'. The Editor.) . ' v ' '
117E cannot read' the Gospel without the convic
tion that our Lord Jesus Christ was a laborer.
Weare filled with amazement at the amount' of
prayer, teaching, healing, and the work of love that
completely filled His ministry. He was moved with,
compassion toward the multitudes. He not only
wanted fo minister to them, but He wanted others
to send out to minister to them.. In His day as in
our, day the fields were white .unto the harvest but
"the laborers were few."
The greatest need of the church today, both min
isters and laymen, is for laborers, faithful day lab
orers going from house to house in the service of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Spurgeon said: "You can
not reap wheat by standing a dozen yards off and
beckoning to it. Get out among the wheat like men
in earnest!" We cannot win men by preparing ser
mons arid then wishing people would come to church
and be saved. We must go out into the fields after
them. Go not as some superior person of the com
munity but as a humble servant of our Lord.
Discussion groups may be necessary in planning
our work but souls are not often won by tnem. We
have debated, the relative worth of personal, edu
cational, and mass evangelism, long enough.-God
have mercy on our churches today if we have be
come so blinded in our prejudices that we cannot
see that God would have us use all three in winning
men into the Kingdom. Glenn Frank said, "Chris
tianity was intended for a crusade, we have turned
it into a debate". '''.,
The purpose of this little message is an appeal for
work. "The p'edple had a, mind to work !", then
something happened. Something always does hap
pen when men work. Something will happen in our
county Tabernacle meeting if we work. "We are
laborers together with God." Paul said that with
a clear conscience. Can We? "Workmen that need
eth not to be ashamed." Are we? "Do the work of
an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry?"
May God help us all to do this work and thus make
full proof of our ministry. Brethren of the ministry
and the laity, let us put every minute of our time
into this campaign for a . county-wide revival in
these next two weeks

Lelia Sellers Anderson
A DE'OTED wife and mother, "who looked well
to the ways of her household", a thoughtful
and generous neighbor and friend, departed this life
last Friday night. To Lelia Sellers Anderson it was
granted to go swiftly, even while she was busied
about her household duties that all her life had been
performed with loving care.
There has always been a rare charm about the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Anderson on the shady top
of their hill overlooking Franklin. The immaculate
house and garden is a pleasant place to visit. The
beauty of cleanliness and godliness always5 pervaded
the home of this devoted family. Mrs. Anderson
met adversity with quiet courage and gave herself
unsparingly to the care of her loved ones. Devotion
to duty was the keynote to her character, .and is
part of the heritage she leaves as an example to all
who knew her. -
TO HONOR A PIONEER
In Memory of John Dillard
Soldier in the Revolutionary War
(Clayton Tribune)
It has been agreed by leading
famHies of Tennessee Valley, as
descendents of John Dillard, who
served in the Revolutionary War,
and who was one of the Valley's
first settlers, to dedicate the Fifth
Sunday in June, to a program of
patriotic and . devotional exercises
at the Baptist church, and to the
unveiling of a monument of this
man.
Every family within the circle
of kin by blood or marriage,' from
far and near, and all the neigh
boring public of the Valley and
nearby communities are invited to
be present. Basket dinner will be
served on the. grounds. The gath
ering is expected to be so large
that a well filled basket is re
quested from every house in the
surrounding community.
The military record of this pa
triotic . man is given by ' the War
Department, at Washington as fol
lows; '
''John Dillard, of English descent.
was born August 12, 1750, in Cul
pepper County, Virginia. While liv
ing in Pittsylvania County, Virein-
,ia he enlisted and served as a
private from February 1st, 1776 to
the last of August, 1776, in Captain
Dillard's Company, of Colonel
Lewis' Virginia Regiment.
"He enlisted, again February 1st,
1778 and served to August 18th,
1778. as a private in Captain Dil
lard's Company of Colonel ' Clark's
Virginia . Regiment. He enlisted
again January 27th, 1780 and ser
ved to March 22nd, 1780 as
Lieutenant in Captain Fleming's
Company of Colonel Perkin's Vir
ginia Regiment -
xie was allowed a pension on
his application, July 27th, l&M,
while living in Rabun County. Ga.
He died June 5th, 1842, leaving a
wife and three children : Mary,
Elizabeth and James. Mary mar
ried Obediah Dickerson. Elizabeth
married James Dryman. James
manned Sallie Barnard."
not be self-supporting?
Ephesians 4 :28 says : "Let him
that stole steal no more : but rath
er let him labor, working with his
hands the thing which is good
that he might have to give to him
that needeth." Surely then work is
a command in the New Testament.
Should we eat if we are able
bodied and don't work ? Paul said
In his letter to the Thessalonians :
"This we command you, that if
any would not work, neither should
he eat." I believe that John D.
Rockefeller was right when he said
he believed in making all he could
and giving all he could.
Is idleness a sin? Turn in your
Bible to Revelation and see what
caused the destruction of Babylon.
Yes, idleness is a great sin.
Do we need anyone to tell us
how to farm and how to save?
Yes, turn to the story -in your
Bible of Pharaoh and Joseph.
Maybe we need a Joseph to tell
us how to store up some food.
WelL Joseph is on' the other side
of the river, so I guess we had
better, listerwtct oui" County Agent.
God may have been telling him
some things to tell us like he did
Joseph of. old.
Yes,' we can serve C-od. in the
field and on the farm. .

Broughton Endorses
June As 'Dairy Month'
Governor J. M. Broughton has
given his wholehearted endorse
mene ; to the National June Dairy
Month campaign, by advocating
that 1941 be marked by a decided
increase in ehe number of dairy
cows on North Carolina farms.
The Governor pointed out that
the average daily consumption of
milk in North Carolina is four
tenths of one pint per person ; the
average daily consumption per per.
son in the United States-as-a-whole
is one pint. "This is a serious situ
ation," Governor Broughton de
clared, "when we consider that milk
is Nature's most perfect human
food." ;
The fact that 98,000 farm fam
ilies in North Carolina were with
out. milk cows at the time of the
last census was termed "appalling"
by the Governor. He urged that
livestock be kept as a supplement
to row crop enterprises, such as
tobacco and cotton. .: .
"The June Dairy Month cam
paign is off to a good start," says
John Arey, dairy specialise at N.
C. State. Stores throughout North
Carolina have arranged . attractive
displays of dairy producs. Drug
stores, cafes, restraurants and oth
er places where food is served are
featuring milk drinks, ice cream,
butter and cheese. .

Letters to Editor
Dear Editor:
Will you please reserve space in
your paper for this article: Can a
Person Serve God in the Field
and on the Farm?
God said to Adam: "In the sweat
of thy face shalt thou eat bread."
Labor is a command of God as
strong as any other command in
the Bible: "six days thou shalt
labor." (Exodus 20:9). Suppose the
farmers of Macon county would
labor six days in the week. How
many would there be . who would
