HOLD MEETING IN
INTEREST SCHOOL
Churches Join In Union Service
To Magnify Work of The
School Teacher
MINISTERS MAKE TALKS
One of the most worth while meet
ings held in Smithfield was the union
service at the Baptist church Sunday
evening in the interest of the educa
tional life of the town. Teachers of
the graded school and members of
the school board were invited to oc
cupy reserved seats, and the minis
ters of the Methodist, Baptist, and
Episcopal churches were on the plat
form and participated in the program
of the evening. The Presbyterian
church is without a pastor at present
which accounts for the fact that this
denomination was not represented on
the program.
In spite of the inclement weather,
the main part of the church was prac.
tically filled with friends and patrons
of education, an illustration of Smith
field’s interest along this line. A
choir composed of singers from all
the churches furnished unusually
good music, two selections by a male
quartette being especially enjoyed.
Those composing the quartette were:
Messrs. A. M. Calais, Paul Eason,
S. L. Morgan, and W. C. Coates.
Rev. S. L. Morgan, pastor of the
Baptist Church, was in charge of the
meeting, and made the statement as
to why such a meeting had been ar
ranged. “To magnify the teacher
and educational work in the commu
nity and to strengthen the relation
between the home and the school was
the purpose of the coming together,”
said Mr. Morgan and he talked brief
ly upon the position of the teacher
in the life of the community declar
ing that unless the teacher wras
looked up to by the older folks of the
community, he would not receive the
respect that is his due from the pu
pils.
He called attention to the fact that
teachers have a large influence upon
our children. The Sunday school gets
a chance at some of them for one
hour a week, the church less often,
but the school has their training in
charge five or six hours five days in
the week.
Mr. Morgan was followed by Rev.
George M. Manley, rector of the
Episcopal church, who spoke for a
short time unon the “Importance of
Education.” He carried his message
to his hearers by showing the han
dicaps of the ignorant man.
The ignorant man who cannot read
and write must necessarily get his
information second hand. He is nat
urally suspicious. His mind is fertile
soil for anarchy and Bolshevism.
The ignorant man is hampered in
business. He is a prey to the dis
honest. He is held back fro mrising
in the world by lack of education.
The ignorant man is hindered even
in his religious life. The Bible is a
closed book to him except as someone
else gives out its truths. He cannot
work efficiently in the Sunday school
either as pupil or teacher.
The other side of the picture was
presented by showing what educa
tion means. The word itself means
“to lead out,” and the educated man
is trained to think and to think in
straight lines. Education means
progress. The speaker cite 1 the build
ing of the temple of worship as the
product of education. The laying of
concrete pavements requires a train
de mind and hand. Education means
usefulness and service. The more one
knows the better service can he ren
der.
“One and a half per cent of cur
incomes,” said Mr. Manley, quoting
figures recently pub'.', nod in “The
Inter. y. Digest, is spent each "year
in _■■■•. raer!ca or ecucotion; 8 c per
cent for crime; 14 per cent is vis -
ed."
“Msiv the time come,” he said
An oursm of prevention is wortlt a
pound of fuse; when men will cease
to spend so much for the punish
ment of crime: when so much that is
wasted may be used , for education
in order that the children may grow
into better citizens and worthier

FLIERS COMPLETE
HISTORICAL FLIGHT
Lieutenants Smith, Wade and
Nelson Arrive At Seattle
Flying Field
GREAT RECEPTION GIVEN
Seattle, Wash., Sept. 28. — The
American round-the-world fliers com
pleted the cixcuit of the globe this
afternoon, landing at Sand Point
Field at 1:36 p. m., Pacific Time.
Lieutenant Smith was the first to
land. He was followed by Lieuten
ant Wade, then Lieutenant Nelson.
The commander landed at 1:3G, the
others at 1:37:50 and 1:38:35, re
spectively. Flying conditions were
ideal as the aviators made their last
lap.
The weather here was warm, ap
proaching sultriness. Sirens shrieked
as the planes flew over the city.
Thousands of voices roared a wel
come at the field. Among the first
to greet the fliers was Major Martin.
Lieutenant Leslie Arnold was
hugged and kissed by his mother,
Mrs. Cora Arnold, and his sister,
Mrs. Francis Cole, of Spokane, j
Wash., when he alighted.
The fliers left Eugene, Ore., at
10.02 a. m., on their last leg,
They landed at Vancouver, Bar
racks, Wash., a few minutes after
leaving Portland to make adjust
ments to Lieutenant Wade’s engine,
hopping off from there at 11:57 a. m.
Ropes were strung around the fa
mous machines and the reception
committee gathered to greet the
fliers. Lieutenant Smith stepped
from the cockpit of his machine and
made a short address to the assem
bled committee. The crowd that
gathered around the roped-off air
planes was so great that the recep
tion at the landing field was cur
tailed to merely a shaking of hands
of the fliers and expressions from the
reception committee of “glad you
are here.”
Each of the fliers received a large
bouquet of dahlias, which they took
with them to a private luncheon
aboard a vacht.
A huge welcome sign 150 feet long
spelled in letters 20 feet high greeted
the aviators as they circled over
Sand Point. As the planes flew over
Seattle whistles and automobile
horns sent up shrieking greetings.
On the field hundreds of automobiles
and cheers from the thousands of
spectators contributed to the noisy :
return.
Among the vessels in the lake
awaiting the fliers’ arrival was the
Canadian destroyer Patrician. The
officers aboard had been delegated
by Dominion officials to extend offi
cially the greetings of the Canadian
government.
Nine airplanes from Sand Point
under the command of Major D. C.
Emmons, commander <>£ Crisy Field,
San Francisco, left the field shortly
before the fliers were expected to
escort them.
The world circlers were accom
■ panied on their flight from Eugene
by Lieutenants J. A. Broekhur t and
George W. Goddard, who made a
photographic record of the flight
across the country, and Lieutenant [
Burdette Wright and Sergeant J. F.
Kennedy.

KIWANIANS DONATE
PICTURE TO SCHOOL
One’s education is incomplete un
til one has learned to appreciate the
beautiful, not only the beautiful that
is always so apparent but the beauty
that is to be found in the simple
walks of life.
It is the artist who has done more
toward developing this type of beau
ty than anyone else. It is he who
has taken the crude as well as the
beautiful elements of life and helped
to make us glad that we are alive,
that we are a part of that beauty
and can thus appreciate every sta
tion and walk of life.
The members of the Kiwanis Club
have realized that there is no better
way of instilling into each child a
love for all that is beautiful in life
than to have before them constantly
the work of our greatest artists,
thereby permitting them to grasp
a portion of the depth of the spirit
picture.
It is to the Kiwanians that vTe ex
tend our hand in appreciation for the
first picture to be given the boys and
girls of the Smithfield schools. Many
thanks to them for taking the lead
in this picture campaign, which is
being conducted by the Smithfield
High School, and to other Clubs and
citizens who may follow their lead
ership.
Education of the child—that is the
purpose of having the Elson Art Ex

DEMOCRATS FIGHT
TO WIN IN OHIO
Leaders In Conference In Wash
ington Decide On Drive
In Ohio
TO WORK FOR NEW YORK
Washington, Sept. 27.—Democratic
leaders in conference here today de
cided that they would have to win
Ohio to carry the election. This
means a hard fight, but they are go
ing to try it. The big guns of the
party are to be turned loose there
next week and the weeks following
up to the election.
Here is the way they dope out the
situation now:
Davis cannot win with what he has
now, but is gaining daily. Coolidge
would not be elected if the ballots
wore cast today or tomorrow. La
Follette would have about 90 elec
torial votes in states heretofore re
publican.
Davis feels pretty certain of New
Jersey, Nebraska and Missouri. These
can be added to the solid south and
border states. Now, if Ohio can be
landed, the democrats will be able to
sit precty and see what New York
will do. Party workers admitted that
they have a hard task, and Davis must
take the lead. The democratic or
ganization is not functioning as it
should.
Among the prominent party men
here today were Senators Simmons,
Harrison, Swanson and Pittman, and
Cordell Hull, former national chair
man; Finis Garrett, democratic lead
Clayton Man Is
Hurt In Accident
Mr. R. T. Brady, of Clayton, was
right badly hurt in an automobile
accident near Garner Monday after
noon,being badly cut about the face
and head and possibly internal in
juries. His young son was also in
jured, receiving a bad cut just under
his chin.
The accident happened just this
side of Garner. Mr. Brady driving
a Ford touring car attempted to pass
a school truck and collided with a
Dodge coupe approaching from the
direction of Smithfield. Both cars
were badly damaged. The driver of
the Dodge, W. L. Cope, a traveling
salesman, was not badly injured.
Mr. Brady was returning to Clay
ton from Raleigh where his wife is
critically ill when the accident hap
pened. He and his son were brought
to Clayton by Mr. Linnie Parrish and
given medical attention at Dr. Ho
cutt’s office.—Clayton News.
Messrs. P. H. Ethredege and R. T.
Fulghum, of Kenly, were in the city
yesterday and gave this office a
call.
er of the house; Representative Tom
Connally, of Texas, and Chairman
Shaver.
The democrats are very confident
they will control the next Congress.
New York is to be a real battle
ground. Governor Smith is expected
to carry it over Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt. Some able republicans
look for that result This does not
mean Davis will get it. If there
should be a republican landslide,
Roosevelt might win.

JOHNSTON COUNTY
CLUB GIRLS WIN
Jelly-making Team Will Repre
sent Eastern District In
Fair Contest i
PENDERS POULTRY WINS
Johnston County Club girls came
out as winners in the Eastern Dis
trict Contests held in Goldsboro Sat
urday. Fifteen counties comprise the
Eastern District, and each year con
tests in Clothing, Jelly-making, Poul
try, Bread-making, and Food Conser
vation are held to determine who
I shall represent the district in con
tests hied at the State Fair.
Johnston county entered two teams
; the maximum allowed to one county,
one team in Jelly-making, which won
first place and will therefore go to
Raleigh, and one team in Clothing,
was declared second in the demon
stration, Sampson’s taem winning
first.
The young ladies who will rep
1 resent the Eastern District at the
State Fair are Misses Janie Edwards
of Creech school, and Sallie Herring
j of Selma.
Those composing the team giving
a demonstration in Clothing were
Misses Pauline Barnes and Daisy
j Creech of Creech school.
Pender county won first place in
the Poultry demonstration but the
contest judging in Bread-making
and food conservation will be de
ferred until the middle of the week
owing to the illness of some of the
teams.
Demonstrations in judging live
stock, grain, etc., were put on for the
club boys of the district but John
ston county did not enter any teams.
However, several Johnston County
club boys were on hand to observe
th ework being done and will enter
the contests in Raleigh.
The hospitality accorded the club
boys and girls by the people of Golds
boro was a very pleasant feature of
the occasion, according to Miss Min
nie Lee Garrison, Johnston County
Home Agent, who accompanied her
teams to the Wayne Capitol. The
Merchant’s Association and the
! Chatfiber of Commerce entertained
| the more than 50 club boys and girls
present at dinner at the Kenyon Ho
j tel. A unique thing about the din
ner is that the menu included only
Wayne County products. At the
conclusion of the delightful repast,
Mr. A. K. Robretson, County Farm
Agent of Wayne, expressde the plea
sure of having the young folks as
guests. His words called forth a re
sponse from both groups, a young
fellow from Wayne speaking for the
boys and Miss Sallie Herring of Sel
ma speaking for the girls.
Mr. M. G. Olive Dead
Mr. M. G. Olive, who lived near
here, died at the Smithfield Memorial
Hospital Friday night. He had been
critically ill for several days. About
a week before his death he was op
erated on for appendicitis and from
that time there was little hope for
: his recovery, his appendix having vup
| tured before the operation was per
, formed. He was sixty-nine years of
j age.
The funeral service was held at the
j home Saturday afternoon at 3.30
! o’clock, conducted by Rev. R. L. Gay,
i and interment was made in the ceme
tery at Pisgah church. A large
: crowd of relatives and friends at
; tended the funeral. The floral offer
ing was beautiful.
He is survived by a wife and sev
eral children who have the sympathy
jot’ the community in this hour of be
j reavement.
