Saunders, editor of the Elizabeth City Inde pendent, has joined t! church. Mr. Saunders is guotod as stating that •when he united with the church it was not during a revival meeting, and no one fell on his neck and wept nor shouted hallelujah. On' thing about the Christian religion is that it is adapted to the needs of individuals. However if Mr. Saunders has ac cepted Christ as hi Savior as he joins the church, he has accepted the same Savior that causes other people to weep and shout his praises. Dr. S. \V. Hughes, religious leader of London, in an address made rec ently at Lake Junaluska, the Assem bly grounds of the Southern Metho dist church, declared that he was "neither a modernist nor a funda mentalist. “We ought to get rid of these wretched adjectives,” he told his Junaluska hearers. “They are do ing more harm in religion than any thing else. These superficial distinct ions do a lot of harm. To think God ? thoughts after Him is orthodox enough for me.” We are rather of the opinion of Dr. Hughes. Creeds and beliefs will lake care of them selves when people enthrone Christ in their hearts. Wo road in a daily paper the other day that a largo German manufac turing corporation capitalized at $17,500,000, is contemplating erecting a plant for the manufacture of arti ficial silk, either in Virginia or North Carolina. We do not know what raw material is used for the artificial silk but we judge it is cotton. It would seem that the logical location for such an industry would be in the heart of cotton producing territory. If the promoters of this enterprise could see the crops in Johnston coun ty, they would certainly be impress ed that the raw material would be forth coming here- Johnston county needs some such enterprises, and we believe manufacturers would find in Johnston county idea) factory sites. \Uer<Bo> AN APPRECIATION During the past six years I have been in such close touch with the peo ple of Johnston county in an official way that I cannot sever this relation ship without feeling a sense of sorrow and regret- My work as Superintend ent of Public '.fare has called me into hundreds of homes and has ac quainted me with thousands of peo ple. I have seen the people at their best and at their worst- The nature of the work has tried not only my soul but the souls of those whom I have worked. Some grievous mistakes have been made which no one regrets so much as I. But upon the whole I am severing my official relationship with the people of this county with the consciousness that it has been a worthwhile work. The people upon the whole have rendered splendid co-operation, and it is due to this more than to any oth er condition that I have been able to perform the duties of this office so well as I have. I wish it were possi ble for me to give full credit for every act that the churches, the news papers, the teachers, the institutions, the other county and state officials, and every single individual have done toward making every detail of the work a success. I wish it were possi ble that each could know how fully I appreciate their help There are several dependent and neglected children in the county for whom I have found temporary or ppermanent homes. There are several families whose condition in life have been so ill that they have come within the scope of the welfare department There are several disabled veterans of the World War in whose behalf I have labored for the benefits provided for them by the Veteran’s Bureau. My work with these people has en gendered a mutual friendship which I cherish very much. Much of that which we have helped to accomplish is still unfinished, and here lies the chief source of my regrets. Finally, it is my intention to re main in the county. Time may come again when I may be of service to some of those I now must give up. Should that ever come to pass, I shall be happy in again devoting my energies in their behalf. H. V. ROBE. JOHNSTON COUNTY MEN MAKE GOOD Friends of Messrs Cleveland and John Hawkins of Micro will be in terested to learn that they are on the job in Georgia showing the folk in Thomas county how to grow tobacco, men who are experts in growing and handling tobacco have impressed the people of that county to such an ex tent that B. C. Reese, the cashier of the Planters Bank in Pavo, Georgia, has written The Herald the follow ing letter in regard to their work: “It is with pleasure that we give you a little history of Cleveland and John Hawkins, of your county, who came here last fall to grow a crop of I tobacco for Daniell Brothers of this place. We wish to express to their friends of their community through the coulumn§ of your valuable paper, our unqualified endorsement of Haw kins Brothers as being the highest type of citizens, and men who know the tobacco game from beginning to end. They have unquestionably been worth very much to this county and community in giving advice in the most pleasant manner to all who were interested in the growing of tobacco. Tobacco experts who have visited their farm, and this means dozens have declared that they have one of the best crops of tobacco and of the best grade that has been grown in Thomas county.’’ COMMUNICATIONS SENT US MUST BE SIGNED Again we have received an tin signed communication, and therefore necessarily it must be consigned to the waste basket. We regret to do this but the editor must know who sends in the items. Sometimes, though not often, what are meant to be jokes are played in such items, and the newspaper must know the author, ev en though his name is not published. We are glad to get news items from every section of the county and we hope you will be careful to enclose your name in the future Guest of Mr. Huntley. Mr. J. W. Huntley, of Wadesboro, is spending a few days in the city the guest of his son, Mr. Walter J. Huntley. MORE ABOUT LEGION POST 1 STARTS ON PAGE ONE D. Carlton Stephenson as vice-chair man and Sam E.

In the meantime four parties, three men and one woman had been ar rested and were in the Perquimans county jail for a robbery of Towns and Chappel, a blind merchant living six miles from Hertford. They had given their names as Louis Powell of Durham, Ernest Wade Hartsell of Oxford and Same Louge who has re cently done time on the Durham coun ty roads. The girl gave her name as Mary Howard, gave no address, but claimed to have a brother in Wil mington. The officers took the two negroes to the Hertford county jail and they identified one of the men and the woman as being with them in many robberies. Young said they help ed him in the Four Oaks robbery and Mordica said they helped him in half a dozen at Bethel, Robersonville and Everetts. The woman proved to be Mabel Holmes who some years ago lived in Greenville and was noted for her bad reputation there. They will be surrendered by the Perquimans authorities to Pitt coun ty authorities wTiere they will be tried for the greater offense. Sheriff Jackson expects to arrest one more man in Virginia who is con nected with the gang. His arrest will make three whites and five colored to date.

He urged that the cooperative asso ciation members store their cotton at the warehouse rather than deliver to the various receiving points, there by preventing damage by weather conditions and the docking of weight accordingly. “It will pay to haul your cotton six or seven miles to a storage house,” said Mr. Stephenson, “rather than run the risk of its get ting wet and having it docked fifteen or twenty pounds per bale on account of it- Cotton damaged from weather conditions cost North Carolina grow ers nearly five million dollars in 1923.” Farmers who stored their cot ton in a warehouse stated that it had meant money in their pockets.
