failed on the third of last Febru
ary, received ten per cent of their
deposits lest Thursday, October

last February was found, after
the books were audited, to be short
of funds to the amount of $52,319.

of the bank and his daughter, Miss
Lena Woodard, assistant cashier,

age, the Grand Jury of the August
term of criminal court returning
five true bills against the two. Both
the cashier and the assistant cash
ier were charged with embezzle
ment, and Mr. Woodard and his
daughter were each charged with
accepting deposits knowing the

comment particularly around
Princeton and the outcome is
awaited with interest- Counsel for
the defense is E. S. Abell of this
fity, and the prosecution will be

Smithfield.
There were about 110 depositors
who shared in the payment made
by the receiver last Thursday.
HOSPITAL TO HAVE
HOTEL FACILITIES
Kinston, Oct. 20.—Hotel facili
ties will be offered at the Parrot
Memorial Hospital here, shortly to
be enlarged with the addition of a
new four-story building. It will be
a novel departure, at least for this
part of the country. If a relative
or friend of a patient comes to the
institution from a distance he ma;l
put up at the hospital. Rooms on
the Cop floor will be reserved for
such “guests,” and meals will be
v served them in the (lining room.
y* The service will be similar in all
: respects to that of a first-class
I hotel, the management slubes,
r The idea was conceived by Dr.
k. Albert DeK. Parrott, head of the
institution. In the guest quarters
there will be none of the susual
restrictions of a hospital, except
that excessive noise will not be al
lowed. This will not interfere with
the use of the radio, a set of which
will be installed in every room.
“Of course, not every commercial
traveler or delegate to a conven
tion coming to town will be wel
comed. The guests will have to
have a valid reason for staying at
the holtd,” Dr. Parrott stated.
Stick to The Farm
Stick to the farm. Don’t give up
a business that is certainly good in
the hope of finding something pos
sibly better. A search for riches
that leads one away from home
r often leads him away from the
things he hopes to discover. Make
the most of what you have ready
at hand. You may never find silver
or gold under the ground that
you own, but you may find a way
to make the soil produce as much
wealth as such mines would,, yield,
if you mix brains and enthusiasm
with your work.—Farming.
Mr. Rivers Slated
For Hero Medal
Scout Execcutive For Tus
carora Council Recog
nized For Saving Lives.
Mr. W. W. Rivers, Scout Exe
cutive for Tuscorara Council, Boy
Scouts of America, will receive a
life-saving medal from the Nation
al Council of Boy Scout’s, it was
learned yesterday, if the plans of
some of Mr. Rivers’ friends are
successful.
On August 21, last, Mr. Rivers
saved the lives of two young la
dies who were in swimming at
Crescentj Lake, which is located
just South of the city. They were
Misses Ruth Latta, of this city,
and Clara Colvin of New Bern, who
was visiting Miss Latta at that
time. The young ladies while in
swimming, walked off the concrete
(or cascade steps) dam at the lake
into nine feet of water. Neither
could swim. A third young lady
whose name is unknown, made an
effort to help them to shallow wat
er or to the rope, but' was forced
to abandon the attempt in order
to save herself. Mr. Rivers, a vis
itor at the lake, after realizing
that the young ladies were help
less, dived into the water, reaching
them after they had gone under
three times, separated them, and
pushed them on to the ropes, and
returned for the other, who had
by that time apparently gone un
der for good. To rescue her, it was
nesessary that he return to the
shore and take a running dive in
to tTie lake in order to reach the
depth at which he expected to
find the drowning girl. On finding
her, he brought her to the sur
face broke the strangle hold she
had on him, and brought her to
shore.
At the request of Mr. Rivers
the News gave no publicity to the
affair at the time. Mr. Rivers
made the request because he fear
ed the publication of the incident
might injure the management) of
Crescent Lake and he said he had
no desire to do this as it was, in
reality, the only “swimin’ hole”
near the city. Since the matter has
been brought to the attention of
the officials of the National Coun
cil, however, and it appears Mr.
Rivers will be awarded a medal,
it is now worthy of honorable men
tion.
Mr. Rivers has received a ques
tionaire, after being filled out,
will be presented to the Court of
Honor, a body of Goldsboro gentle
men, and if it there receives fav
orable recommendation, it will be
forwarded to the National Coun
cil for tiheir further approval.
There is little doubt that both the
local court of honor and the offi
cials of the National council of
Boy Scouts will act favorably on
the recommendation for a life*
saving medal for Mr. Rivers.—

Attend In a Body.
DELEGATES ELECTED
The Smit'hfield Baptist church
last Sunday ended its year’s work
preparatory to the association,
which will convene tomorrow with
Thanksgiving' church eight miles
north of Selma. At the evening
service Sunday delegates were
elected to represent the church in
the association, and the annual let
ter to the association was read.
It showed that the church has at
present a membership of 373. with
a Sunday school enrollment of 406.
Contributions for the year amount
ed to approximately $6,400.
The local Junior Order of Amer
ican Mechanics attended the morn
ing service in a body, and the pas
tor, Rev. S. L. Morgan, preached
a special sermon to the men, the
theme being, “Backbone and the
Bible.” He began by saying that
the Junior Order, of which he him
self is a member, stands squarely
for the Bible, a familiar event in
nearly every community being the
presenting of a Bible by the Jun
ior Order to the public school with
an address calling attention to the
importance of having the Bible
read in the school as a means of
building character in boys and
girls during their school period.
The sermon called forth favor
able comment from the large num
ber of men present. It was a strong
appeal to men to use their back
bone in resisting the evil tenden
cies of the present day, local and
world-wide. The text w'as: “O ye
that love Jehovah, hate evil”;
“Watch ye, stand fast in the faith,
quit you like men, be strong.”
(Psalms 1)7:10; X Cor. 16:13). In
part the sermon was as follows:
The first text is a ringing appeal
to those who love God and the
good to hate and to fight evil.
There is today a deplorable ten
dency to be sweet and charitable
both to the evil-doer and to his
evil. The Christian is under equal
obligation to love the evil-doer and
to hate the evil in him. Evil,
whether in the devil or in our
friend, is to be hated and fought
without charity or compromise.
Love to God demands that we shall
hate and fight evil always and ev
erywhere and by all means, be
cause it is always and everywhere
opposed to God. He hates evil with
a deep and eternal hatred, and
our love to him will become a weak
dead thing, unless W'e hate what
he hates.
Jesus is our model. We do great
violence to his teaching and his
character, if we hold that he was
too sweet and loving to hate with
an intense hatred. He loved the
sinner enough to die for him. But
no other has ever hated so in
tensely the sin that was in him.
He never compromised. He never
straddled an issue. Tenderly, and
yet in language most terrible and
scathing, he denounced the hypoc
risy of the Pharisees, and warned
them of the damnation of hell. He
never excused evil in his friends.
Most* sternly to his face he rebuk
ed his beloved disciple, saying, “Get
thee behind me, Satan.” He accept
ed the hospitality of friends, and
then rebuked them at. their own
tables, rather than wink at the
evil in them. Sending out his dis
ciples, He sternly v. rned them
against being cowardly and com
promising with evil. “Fear not
men,” He said, “who can only kill
the body; fear him who has pow
er to destroy both soul and body
in hell.” “Turn your back on fath
er and mother, rather than com
promise with evil, and be false to
me ” He himself used the whip
cord and with flaming indignation
drove the ungodly traffickers out
| of his Father’s house. And yet he
| loked down fro mthe moi/itain
| and wept over those sinners, and
[presently died for them. Love and
I hate—that is the gospel—and Jesus
! shows us how to marry the two.
! And this puts before us the Bible
demand for backbone.

F. H. Brodks Speaks
In Pitt County
»
Greenville, Oct. 23.--As an ex
pression of gratitude to God for
the bountiful harvests, profitable
seasons and for other blessings,
which they have enjoyed. the
Christian people from every sec
tion of Pitt county gathered in
Greenville today to participate in
the greatest religious service of a
thanksgiving nature ever before
held in this part of the State.
The service, which was held at
the fair grounds, began at 11 o’
clock with a devotional period in
charge of Rev. R. F! Pittman, of
Ayden, and after several songs,
prayers and many testimonies of
thanksgiving by Christian people
from practically every religious
body of the county, Dr. W. H.
Morton, DD., an able Baptist
minister of New Bern delivered a
soul stirring sermon which aroused
the people to the sense of their
responsibility as standard bearers
of the religion of Jesus Christ.
The afternoon program which
followed a basket dinner served at
1 o’clock was featured by an ad
dress by Judge Frederick H.
Brooks of Smithfield. Judge Brooks
who is an outstanding character
in the religious activity of John
ston county, impressed his hearers
with the sincere manner in which
he presented his remarks, practi
cally all of which were based upon
the fundamental acts of service
in a Christian’s life.
The spirit of thanksgiving pre
dominated throughout the day’s
services and its effects will live
long in the hearts and minds of
the several hundred in attendance.3
At the conclusion of the services,
resolutions were adopted making
the thanksgiving service an annual
event.

Somerville, N. J., Oct. 23.—The
will of James B. Duke, tobacco
magnate, disposing of an estate
estimated at $150,000,000. was filed

wife, received the Duke residences
in three different cities and was
named guardian of her daughter.
Bequests for University
Two separate bequests were giv
en to the Duke endownment to be
used for the benefit, of Duke Un
iversity at Durham, N. C. One was
for $10,000,000 to be added to the
present fund, and specified that
$4,000,000 shall be used for the
construction of a medical school, a
hospital and a nurses’ home. The
will directs that) this construction
shall be undertaken as soon as
possible.
A second bequest was contained
in a codicil, drawn October 1, just
nine days before Mr. Tmke’s death.
This directs that residuary in
come shall be added to the Duke
endowment, with the provision that
$7,000,000 be used for new build

Boy Scouts Tell
Of Organization
Make Short Talks at
Churches Preliminary
in Financial Drive.
Scouting was emphasized in the
various churches here Sunday when
Boy Scouts were given an oppor
tunity to tell briefly what the or
ganization stands for. Five min
ute; talks were made at the Meth
odist, Presbyterian and Baptist
churches. Charles Alford was the
speiker at the Methodist church;
Juries Sellers, at the Baptist, and
Wilson Wharton at the Presby
tptmm Church. These young men
told of the good the organization
does for boys, physically, educa
tionally and morally. Boys living
up to the Scout Oath will un
doubtedly be good citizens.
These talks were preliminary to
a financial drive being put on this
week for Boy Scout work in Smith,
field. Six hundred dollars is needed
to carry on the work here, and so
licitors for this fund are now at
work. The two troops here are
sponsored by the Kiwf|nis Clrfb
and one of the churches, and they
bespeak the cooperation of the
community in backing the Boy
Scouts. The committee in charge
of the campaign includes T. C.
Young, W IT Lyon, and Kcv.
Chester Alexander, pastor of the
Presbyterian church.

Greater provision was not made
for his widow, Mr. Duke pointed
out. because of previous funds es
tablished ip her name.
The sum of $2,000,000 w’as set
aside for nephews, nieces and
cousins, with the condition that
only those related by blood should
be eligible to participate in the
bequest. The sum was directed to
be divided equally. A specific pro
vision was made that any attempt
to contest the will by its bene
ficiaries shall act as an automatic
cancellation of any bequest made

To Sue Cole For
Killing His Son
Rev. A. L. Ormond Will
Bring Suit For Damage
Against W. B. Cole.
Nashville. Oct. 23--—It has been j
authoritatively given out here, ac- j
cording to the Nashville Graphic, |
that Rev. A. L. Ormond, Methodist j
minister of this place will bring •
suit for damages against W. B.
Cole for the killing of his son, W.
VV. Ormond. The suit will be
brought in Wake county al.rd will j
be brought by the local minister !
in his capacity as administrator I
of his son whom Cole shot to death
early in August, being later ac
quitted by a Union county jury.
Just when the summons will be
issued against Cole has not been
determined, but it is quite proba
ble that this will be done immed- '
iately upon Cole’s return from a j
distant state where it is said Cole
has gone to recuperate. Should I
he continue to prolong his stay j
outside of the State, it is probable j
service will be made upon him
before his return.
There has been no intimation of j
the amount of damages that will j
be asked by Rev. Mr. Ormond, and j
this question will probably be de- j
termined when there is a confer- ;
ence of the attorneys who are to j
represent him in the contest' again- j
st Cole. During the past week Mr.
Ormond has been busily engaged j
perfecting his array of legal coun
sel, who are to press the suit j
against the slayer of young Or- '
mend.
The Graphic learns, it states, j
from a most reliable source that j
Douglass and Douglass of Raleigh;
Larry I. Moore, of New Bern; W.
R. Jones, of Rockingham and Har
old D. Cooley, of Nashville, have
been retained as counsel for Mr. j
Ormond, and possibly others may !
be added to the array. During the
trial of Cole at Rockingham for the ;
murder of young Ormond, the j
counsel above named assisted j
State Attorney Don Phillips in the
prosecution of Cole, the Nashville
attorney, Mr. Cooley, being accred
ited with making one of the most
eloquent speeches in connection
with the trial.

NT M. E. CHORCH
Concludes Observance of
Children’s Week; Pas
tor Preaches Sermon on
Parental Authority.
TAKE FORWARD STEP
Sunday marked the close of
Children’s Week which was ob
served in the Methodist church
here, and a most impressive pag
eant carried home to the night con
gregation at that church the idea
that upon the home is the respon
sibility for the destinies of little
children. The community, the day
school, the Sunday school, all have
a part, but fathers and mothers
have the greatest obligation in
rearing their children.
This thought was strikingly
portrayed, the following imper
sonating various agencies working
to safeguard and develop child
life: Miss Maude Meacham. Mrs.
Clifton Beasley, Mrs- Jesse Coats,
Miss Leah Love, Mrs. Thel Hooks
and Mr. T. C. Young.
At the close of the service J.
H. Abell gave the report for the
Forward Step committee which
suggested that during ^ he next,
twelve months, every officer and
teacher of the Sunday school read
at least one approved book on Sun
day school work. The report was
adopted.
At the morning hour, the pastor
of the church, Rev. A. J. Parker,
preached a sermon on “Perental
Authority” which was particularly
appropriate to the observance of
Children’s Week, and in spite of
the inclement weather a large con
gregation heard his discourse.
“Most domestic trouble;” said
Mr. Parker, “grows out of lax dis
cipline in the home.” Most school
troubles can be traced back to
this same cause. Mr. Parker stress
ed the responsibility that rests
upon parenthood. He does not
think much of a double-standard
for men and women. The father
should be as chaste as the mother;
the father and mother should share
the responsibility that rests upon
them in training their children.
Divorces, according to Mr. Par
ker, are more frequent in the up
per and lower classes of society.
They are fewer in the middle class.
Mr. Parker stated that time for
bade developing more than one
topic of his subject and that he
would complete the sermon at
some later date. He drew from per.
sonal experience for his illustra
tive material and the incidents
were told in quite a realistic man
ner.
A solo, “Rock of Ages” by Miss
Frances White was much enjoyed.
BABY FATALLY BURNED
BY \N ELECTRIC BAD
The infant daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. C. J. Smith, of Dixie Trail,
died at Rex hospital, Raleigh. Fri
day afternoon as a result of burns
j received from an electric pad plac
ed ir. the basket with the child.
The child was born Sunday morn
ing. About three o’clock Miss Han
nah Renfro, a nurse, found the
baby coughing and notified Dr.
E. Ward hospital interne, and Dr.
John B. Watson and it was found
that the child was badly burned
by an electric heating pad left in
the basket by Miss Pauline Hunt
ley, another nurse. It died at six
o'clock Sunday afternoon. A cor
oner's jury was summoned to make
an investigation. The jury in its
verdict said in part: “We find no
criminal act or intent on the part
of any specific one, but do find a
gross carelessness on the part of
the institution as to the instruc
tion and training, also in not ex
ercising precautionary measures
in avoiding an occurrence of this
kind.” Miss Huntley and Miss Iva
Bradley, the supervisor, have been
been relieved of duty until a com
plete investigation can be made,

Hurt and a Peerless
Car Totally Wrecked
Late Saturday After
noon.
LEFT HOSPITAL SUN.
What came near being a tragic
accident occurred at the railroad
crossing here Saturday about six
o’clock when train No. 82, a fast
train going south, ran into a sev
en-passenger Peerless car going
toward Goldsboro. The car was
driven by Mr. Harold Hitch, of
Manchester, Pa., who was accom
panied by Miss Florence Hitch, Mr.
and Mrs. F. H. Hitch and their
infant son. Darcy, also of Man
chester.
According to witnesses of the
accident, the driver did not see a
train until he was on the rail
road track. When he saw the ap
proaching train he lost his nerve,
jumped from the car and tried to
push it off the track. When the
train struck the car the baby was
knocked fifteen or twenty feet
away, sustaining an injury on his
head. The car was turned over and
completely wrecked. The train
stopped and the engineer and oth
ers on the train helped to clear
the track of the wreckage.
The injured were hurried to the
Smithfield Memorial hospital for
treatment. Upon examination it
was found tT\ab there were no
bones broken and none of *htv in
juries were serious. Mr. F. H.
Hitch received painful cuts and
bruises which were not considered
serious. The two ladies were con
siderably'jolted and slightly bruis
ed. The wound on the bay’s head
was found to be slight. The driver
of the car was unhurt.
The party was en route from
Florida to Jacksonville, N. C,
After spending Saturday night at
