JULY 7. 1925 HAM-RAMSAY MEETING STIRS JOHNSTON COUNTY HE Ham-Ramsay evangelis tic party has gone The meetings at the warehouse are over. But the revival is still here. Scores and scores of men and women of Johnston county have a new lease on life. The old county has been stirred. Church members have reconsecrated their ilves to God and many sinners have accepted Christ as their Savior. Everything that was claimed for the Ham-Ramsay meet ings in other places characterized the Smithfield meeting and it is our be lief that the after effect will be just as wonderful here as in other places. In Alamance county the work has gone on with marked success since the Ham-Ramsay party left, and indi canons are mat jonnston win see something of the same results. The men and women have organized their Federations and through these organ izations the work will be carried on Every Sunday school in town has had increased attendance since the meetings began more than a month ago. The work of every church in town has been quickened- Not only the churches in town have been budd ed up but country churches are reap ing the benefit. Eleven new members were taken into a church near here Sunday morning and five into anoth er. Several revivals have already been arranged to begin at once in rural sections, some of them a direct out growth of the Ham-Ramsay meet ing. Many believe the work has just started. Mr. Ham is truly a prophet from God and his sermons have made clear the truth of the Bible, the truth of fundamental doctrines and the truth of regenerated lives. His messages arc delivered so simply that a child that has reached the years of accountabil ity can readily understand, and sim plicity is the mark of a great mind He uses no high-pressure methods but the power of his words carry con viction to the hearts of his hearers. No less did the samples of God’s re-, generating power Who testified in i the meeting from time to time have! their effect. Together with Ithe preaching of Mr. Ham, the Gospel singing of Mr. Ramsay and his choir was quite ef fective. Without doubt the party would be incomplete without Mr Ramsay. He furnished humor when humor was in order. He administered a csolding if a scolding was deserv ed, but first and last Mr. Ramsay won his way into the hearts of the people. No single agency has done so much good in this community as the Ham-Ramsay meetings, is the ver dict of many people who have been in 'touch with the work that has been accomplished. Ponds and streams have an econom ic value as well as sporting value when stocked with a good species of fish. They are an asset so far as food I is concerned as well as furnishing sport for the fisherman. Grady and Grady, law firm ni this city the mem bers of which are Paul D. Grady, of Kenly, and Chas. H. Grady, of Smith field, have been appointed by (the State Fisheries Commission Board to gather information concerning streams, ponds and lakes with a view to ascertain the kinds of fish that will thrive in Johnston county waters. Elsewhere in this issue is a question-j airre which they would like filled in and mailed to them by all who have a fish pond or lake. After se curing this information, applications j will be in order for fish to stcok these waters Anyone interested in ! the stocking streams, lakes and ponds of Johnston county may receive fur ther information from either member of the firm of Grady and Grady. s The mill- of th<■ courts grind slow- ^ ly which seems to be exactly what | those who are afraid of justice want. < Playing fo r time is a favorite stunt. ; Instead of trying Jesse Wyatt charg- ,. I ed with the shooting of S. S. Holt, :at the term of court following the .tragedy, every effort was made to continue the case. When the defense | faile d to get this done, some other device was sought and finally a flaw in the drawing of the grand jury which presented the bill against Wy att was found, and the case was dis missed until a new bill should be ■ drawn. 'How about the other cases (that were disposed of under this el | legal procedure? Will they be tried over again? Truly carelessness is re | sponsible for a lot of expense and waste of time and in this instance delayed justice. It is mosquito time again and since the recent rains they are beginning to put in their appearance in some sections of town. All old cans, boxes ; and barrels or anything th^t can hold water should be collected ami removed from around homes and back , lots. The town has spent a goodly j sum on its drainage system and all sections are now fairly well drained. If the citizens will cooperate in keeping the tin cans where tihey be long, mosquitoes will not have much of a chance to breed in Smithfield this summer. One way to keep the tin cans from becoming breeding places is to drive a nail in each can j ! before they are deposited in Bhe ] i trash barrel. STATE FISCAL YEAR BEGAN WEDNESDAY (Continued from first page) son insists that the figures in the audit made by the State Auditor for Governor McLean, showing the fi nancial condition of the hospital speaks for it self. Doctor Anderson had reported a surplus of approxi mately $02,000 some time ago. ac I cording to reports, and now admits a balance of about $44,000, which he says is accounted for in expenses which had to be met. It is estimated that the boll wee vil will do tremendous damage to the cotton crop of the State this year. Frank Parker, State and Federal statistician says he expects the lit tle pest to injure between 50 and 75 percent of the crop. This estimate is contingent upon weather conditions during July and August. Dry weather is the hope of cotton growers right now, Mr. Parker thinks. NATIONAL DEFENSE DAY, JULY FOURTH The general idea of the Second De fense Test are two-fold: (a)To ac quaint the American people with their National Defense policy and ob ligations as set forth in the consti tution -and the National Defense Act of 1920, and to show the plans and processes for the organization of the Army of the United States and its muster into service in the event of any National emergency as per provisions of said act: (b) Tb em phasize the historical occasion when Congress first pledged the man power and resources of the country for National Defense and to com memorate the sacrifices made for that defense. 2nd Bn Hq Det and Com Trn, 117th F.

One hundred and thirty-five dol fers was quickly donated to give him treatment and Dr. Braddy at once commuinieated with the Taylor San atrium, at Morgantn, to have him admitted. This communication was with Dr. James Vernor, a son of Mr. and Mrs. C. R Vernon of this city and arrangements for treatment for a month were made. W. H. May, of the May Hosiery Mills, offered to furnish an automo bile for the trip to Morganton, and Graves Holt volunteered to drive it. The trip was begun soon after the prayer service closed Fletcher Frederick, known by ev eryone here, but known at that as “a doper, no account, a man that would stoop to anything for his stuff,” has got his big chance to come back. The men of the Federa tion will not leave him to drift back when he is released, but will help him so long as he will help himself. His conversion, his release from dope may do an even greater thing: Mrs. Frederick works to support her self. W. E. Sharp is at the head of the Federation. Working with him are many men whose hearts are full of love for their fellow men. They have been the greatest influence ever at work in Alamance county. Their work is not done, and they would not have it so. JULY 1st, 1925 COTTON REPORT North Carolina cotton condition, 1 at 77 percent of normal, improved 3 percent from May 25 to June 25, ac cording to the report released at 11 a. m. July 2, by the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture Crop Reporting Board- The present condition com pares with 74 percent a month ago and 73 percent at this date a year ago. A normal or 100 percent condition at this time would have indicated a yield of 300 pounds lint per acre in North Carolina. However, with a con dition of 77 percent, and without consideration of later weather or in sect damage to the crop, the pres ent report indicates a prospective yield of 231 pounds of lint per acre. This does not take into consideration the almost certain damage to the crop later from boll w'eevil. Last year at the same time, 2,099, 000 acres were under cultivation, of which three percent was later aban doned. The acreage under cultivation indicated at present is 2,183,000 or 4 percent more than was planted last year. With the prospective yield of 231 pounds per acre and not discounting almost certain boll weevil damages, these figures indicate a crop of 1, 015,000 bales for this year. This is too early to rely on cotton estimates Influences that have effected cot ton in North Carolina during June were weather, cultivation, moisture, temperature, insects and stands. The weather, with a few local exceptions, has been ideal for cotton and the plaint has practically made its start since June 1st. Fields are well-culti vated. Though rather dry in the sou thern counties and too wet in the > northern counties, the average is very favorable for the crop. Root lice have been abundant, especially in the northeastern couinties where damages by them have been excessive. Stands average from poor to fair. However, good crop growth is evident every here in the state.
