VOLUME PILOT NUMBER Devoted to the Upbuilding of Vass and Its Surrounding Country SUBSCRIPTION $1.S0 VASS, N. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 30,1923 PRICE FWE CENTS JACKSON SPRINGS NEWS Rev. J. Woodrow Hassell, Who is on a vacation from the mis sion field in Japan, preached his first sermon in the pulpit of a church his father once served, and almost on the ground where his father^s remains were interred. A large crowd was at the Presbyterian church to hear him Sunday night, and no one could have held the attention of a congregation better. Mr. Hassell pictured the good and bad conditions in Japan in a way that every one understood. Woodrow, as he is familiarly known to the older people, left here more than 20 years ago with his mother, brothers and sisters, in sorrow after the husband and father’s death, go ing to Hickory, but he had not for gotten old associates, including those who were small when he left, and many old faces greeted him with pleasure. We would have been glad for more old friends to hear him; among them the Jones boys, who have gone out into the world and made good, and who spent many happy days with the Hassell boys at West End. Mr. Has sell visited Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Mc Donald at West End, in the house where the Hassell family lived, and found a Presbyterian church near that old home that would be a credit to a large town. Peach men in this vicinity feel as sured that a large part of the crop is safe yet. If it was all lost the farmers could well afford to lose for they make a good profit nearly every year. All the orchards here have only borne a few years, have never failed, and at some of the old farm homes there is fruit every summer. The local high school boys are in shape for baseball, and will be issued new uniforms this week. Rev. R. G. Matheson spent a few days last week with his son, Gordon, at Columbia, S. C., and attended Billy Sunday’s revival. George Neal had the misfortune to cut his hand badly on Saturday in at tempting to stopper a bottle of medi cine. Gas would push the cork out and when shoved too tight the bottle broke, cutting through the palm of his hand. Mr. Neal is a teacher in the local high school and works with the Sandhill Drug Co. in spare times. Marlette lost his job some time ago as rural policeman, to the gratifica tion of many. Kennie Luck, a young white man, and Vance Armstrong, a negro, living north-west of here, found he was still alive one day last week when he accompanied prohibi tion agent Carter, to their homes. They were arrested for having whis key in their possession; Armstrong left for parts unknown. Searching was useless at Luck’s, for he was walking up with an Aberdeen man and they were back tracked to a 3- gallon jug containing whiskey. Luck, who is a son and brother of Maurice and Carl Luck, who are serving time on the Stanly county roads, was bound over to Federal court by commission er Jones; 0. S. Richardson went on his bond. Armstrong was tried on prohibition charges with the Lucks a few months ago and was aquitted. , Luck and Armstrong are the remain ing ones who used to give officers trouble, and have not been molested for some time. Sentiment is strong against lawlessness here, and we un derstood only a half a dozen signed a petition for a pardon for the Lucks some time ago. Commissioner Jones had two other cases before him, and bound Charlie Dunn over to Federal court. His bondsman was W. A. Sty- ers of near Hoffman. Donaldson A nomas was also bound over to Fed eral court. E. J. Woodley was his TOBAfXO GROWERS BEGIN ELECTION Association Members to Meet April 7th to Nom inate Electoral Delegates. CAMERON NEWS Tobacco farmers from 127 counties of the Carolinas and Virginia will start the election machinery next week, by which 22 directors for the Tobacco Growers’ Co-operative As sociation are to be elected for the coming year. Mass meetings in over 100 counties, all the way from Virginia to the Geor gia line, will be held Saturday, April 7, when the organized growers will nominate the members of their as sociation from whom the delegates will be chosen to elect the directors who are to market the crops of 85,- 000 tobacco farmers for 1923. From the hundreds of delegates to be chosen next week the farmer mem bers of the co-operative association will later select by ballot those rep resentatives from the counties and districts who will complete the final election of directors. Next week’s mass meeting for members of the Tobacco Growers’ Co operative Association in Moore, Rich mond and Montgomery counties will take place at Vass. Delegates from this county will be nominated at this meeting, and asso ciation members are to elect one-half of these at the final election to be held on May 5th. Members of the tobacco co-opera tive in the old belt will double their money on all deliveries of bright to bacco between January first and April first as early next month as ac counts can be calculated and checks made out and mailed to the ware houses of the association. Not Last Payment Rumors that $2,000,000 to be paid shortly to co-operative growers in the old belt of North Carolina and Vir ginia will constitute a final settle ment, were emphatically denied by Director Patterson of the Leaf De partment, in a telegram received at Raleigh headquarters yesterday, in which Mr. Patterson stated: “This is not a last and final payment, as there will probably be at least two more payments made after the payment above stated.” Further information from officials at Raleig:h headquarters of the as sociation is to the effect that co-opera tive growers of all three States in cluded in the marketing association will receive, further cash disburse ments as the remainder of the co operative tobacco is sold. EASTER SUNDAY By Helen Mar D’Auby Dear Father, ours, be with us on this day, Take all our fear of Thee away; Be not afar, in misty sky above. Be with us as Thou art—the God of love. Thy children, wandering far today. Unite, with humble hearts, to pray— To pour their griefs, and joys, and fears. Into Thy listening and attentive ears. In our dependence on Thy willing heart Teach us, dear Father, how to do our part; Teach us to find the path our steps should tread, To follow where the wise and good have led. Let us become as little children are, “Suffered to come to Thee”—not in a heaven afar. But in a joy that springs from work well done. And faith divine, in Father, and in Son. Teach us to read the wonders of Thy world aright. The brilliance of Thy day, the darkness of Thy night, The grandeur of Thy forests old. Thy fields of grass and grain, _ j i. xu Thy rugged peaks of mountams, tossed above the verdant plain. , ..i- i. j ^ And in Thy Motherhood of love, and Fatherhood of power. Rule all our nights, and all our days- every hour; Protect and keep us near to Ihee, Dear Father, by thy might; Help us to make a world of love, Ruled by the law of right. Thus, when at last, Oh, joy untold. Our world from war is free, We shall be truly child^n then In loving peace with Thee. -be with us bondsman. Thomas and Dunn lived, In Kichmond county and the prom-1 bition charges were the result of raids , last summer. An editorUl in the Moore county News brought up land values, which have been on the decrease for years in the Sandhills. When old settlers sold their turpentine they had plenty of money and became thriftless; later the timber brought a good pile of money, and was followed by the sale of cross ties and pine tar; when that became scarce the people ^rned to farming. It was found they could (Continued on page 2) Easter! “O, Morning Star! 0, risen Lord! Destroyer of the tomb! Star of the living and the dead. Lift up at length Thy long-veiled head.
