CHAUTAUQUA 15
NOV. 12
Advance Rej rcceniative
Makes Falks in Schools
and Churches Telling
Of Program.
BENEFIT OF SCHOOL
Mr. Joseph Cottam, representing
Swarthmore Chautauqua which
gives a program in this city Nov.
12-14, was here Wednesday, in
terviewing some of those interest
ed in the coming event. He made
talks at the graded school during
/the day, and at the midf week(
prayer meetings at the Baptist and
Methodist churches concerning
the chautauqua, and made a pray
ermeeting talk at the Methodist
church. He is on his way to Elm
City through the influence of Rev.
I). II. Tuttle, to organize a chau
tauqua there, the first they will
have had.
The series of lectures, entertain,
ments and musical numbers to be
given jjere Nov. 12-14 will be
given in the high school auditor
ium. The Chautauqua is sponsored
by twenty or more public-spirited
citizens who believe in clean, I
wholesome entertainment, but the I
profits will be turned over for the
use of the school.
The modern Chautaqua is an j
outgrowth of the Lyceum move
ment founded in 1826 by Josiah
Holbrook. His first lyceum was or
ganized in answer to the need for
an open forum where speakers
would be free from limitation of
speaking on sectarian and politi
cal platforms. Filling an important
place in American social life, the
Lyceum has rendered
creasing service to democratic
progress. The leaders in American
political, literary and social life,
Lowell, Holmes, Emerson, Garri
son, Sumner, Philips, Beecher,
Gough, addressed their initial and
their largest audiences from the j
lyceum platforms.
In time the lyceum programs
were further enriched by the ad
dition of high grade musical and
entertainment numbers, which pop
ularized the movement still more.
In 1874, at Lake Chautauqua, New ’
York, Bishop John H. Vincent or- ;
fjanized the Chautauqua Sunday
^School Association which was at
first a summer school for relig- ,
ious instruction, but which now j
includes the whole field of general
education for adult persons out of
school. In imitation of these sum
mer assemblies at Lake Chautau
qua other assemblies like the par- j
ent institution have spruing up all |
over the country. They have, how- j
ever, fewer of the study groups
and more of the musical and en
tertainment features. They often
last for a week or more, and lec
tures, concerts and entertainments
are given daily.

BENSON KIWANIANS
PULL GOOD STUNT
The President, I)r. A. S. Oliver, Is
Butt of Joke at Dinner
Meeting.
(Special to 'the Herald)
Benson, Oct. 29.—The regular
weekly meeting of the Kiwpnis
club was held at the North SlutQ
hotel on Tuesday evening, October
27, with a fairly good attendance.
Manager Jernigan served an un
usually excellent repast.
Mr. and Mrs. Weinstein, who are
"here supervising construction of
the creamery' plant, were guest
of the club. Mrs. Weinstein made
a short talk and then presented
the club with good cigars, with
her compliments.
Henry Slocumb was in charge
of the program and pulled one of
the neatest stunts heard of in this
section. He called on Dr. Oliver,
president of the club, to imitate
the peculiarities in speech of Ki
wanian C. T. Johnson. This he did
in his usual characteristic man
ner to the mirth of every one
present. He next called on Dr. W.
T. Martin to render a solo in im
itation of the singing attributed
to J. C. Warren. This of course
was farcial and produced much
laughter, seemingly from every one
present except Kiwanian Warren.
He next called upon L. L. Lev-'
inson to imitate Professor Rene
gar making a speech. At this
juncture Professor Renegar arose
and addressing the President,
stated that he was opposed to hev
ing made fun of and to such ta^
tics as were being used in the
program. Whereupon he sat down.
J. C. Warren arose and made prac
tically the same remarks, adding
that during all of his experience!
as a Kiwanian he had only been
absent on two occasions and that
he did not feel like being made )Jie
goat oi.
The situation was tense- A pin
dropping upon the floor could have
been heard distinctly, and it look
ed for a moment as if the end
of the Kiwanis movement had ar
rived in Benson.
Hr. Oliver having failed to
breathe during this tense period
finally caught his breath and pro
ceeded to effervesce, blushing sev
en different shades of red. He fin
ally blurted out his profound apol
ogies to the club members beg
ging pardon and assuring them
that nothing personal was meant
and no embarrassment intonded.
That it was all in a spirit of fun
and so intended.
At this period the participants
in the farce together with the
program director began to giggle
and clap their hands, whereupon
the scent, was out and everybody
applauded with great vigor. Hr.
Oliver wreathed in smiles then
realized that the joke was on him
and so expressed himself, all of it
having been done with the sole
view of pulling a joke on our vig
orous and faithful president.
This was perhaps the best stunt
pulled off so far by the Kiwanis
Club and was most thoroughly en
joyed by every one present.

LONGER SCHOOL TERM
_
Failure of the equalization fund
to equalize the burden of taxation
for schools was given by Edgar
Pharr, speaker of the House of
Representatives of the General
Assembly of North Carolina, yes
terday as his reason for not ap
proving the proposed amendment
providing ’ for a state-wide
eight month school term: This
amendment was announced as the
chief feature of the legislative
program of the North Carolina

islature at the next session, as an
amendment to the constitution.
It has the backing of 8,000 pub
lic school teachers and has been
endorsed by State Superintendent
of Public Instruction A. T. Allen.
This body points out that all the
southern states in this section have
an eight month school term while
North Carolina requires only a
six month term. —News and Ob

zXDOO WIGGS DIES AT
HOME NEAR BINE LEVEL
Selma, Oct. 27.—Zadoc Wiggs,
successful farmer who lived near
Pine Level, suffered a stroke of
tfhrnly.sis ten days ago from which
he never rallied. He died Satur
day morning at his home in the
presence of the members of his
family. Mr. Wiggs was <57 years of
age, a quiet unassuming man of
Sterling qualities. He was preceded
ft TOS* gTav? by his wife eight
years ago. He was the father of
17 children, seven of whom sur
vive, 10 small children lie buried
by the parents. A large concourse

SELMA HOME IS DAMAGED
BY EARLY MORNING BLAZE
Selma, Oet. 28.—H. Bradley
Pearce was awakened' this morn
ing about 4 o’clock by a noise which
he first thought to be rain on
the roof. Upon investigation he
found the kitchen and back part
of his house in a light blaze. The
fire alarm was immediately turned
in and by the heroic work of fire
men and neighbors, a portion of
the household furniture was sav
ed as well as the two front rooms
of the house, though these were
badly damaged. The loss was part
ly covered by insurance.
TOBACCO COOPS
IMPROVE RECORD
Raleigh, Oct. 27.—The Tobacco
Growers Cooperative Association
has received more than 32 million
pounds of tobacco from the present
crop, and according to the report
made at the meeting of its board
of directors last week, the asso
ciation was 4,500,000 pounds ahead
of the 1924 season’s receipts up
to October 19.
The organized tobacco farmers
have also benefitted this year from
the increased cash advance for
their tobacco which has been main
tained in every belt at 65 per een
of bankers’ valuation. This is
shown by the fact that S3,375,
402.25 had been received by the
members up to October 19, as
compared to §2,444,354.42 for last
ccason’s deliveries up to the same
date. This shows a substantial gain
in deliveries to the association and
in payments to its members.
Another cash payment on deliv
eries of the 1924 crop will be made
to the organized tobacco farmers
at the earliest possible date, ac
cording to their directors who
point to the fact that of the 447
million pounds of tobacco received
by the association during its first
three years of operation only 34
million pounds of the bright to
bacco which has been redried, re
main unsold and of the dark-fired
tobacco delivered to the associa
tion 20 million pounds of the re
dried product are .now in hand.
The tobacco association this
year adopted a very liberal policy
toward its member^ who failed to
make deliveries of tobacco the

Selma Club Puts
On Flower Show
Entries to the Number of
114 Makes A Lovely
Array,
Selma, Oct. 29.—The Woman’s
Club of this city yesterday staged
its first Floral Fair. To say that
it was a success, would be pu'ting
it mildly. Such an array of lovely
potted plants and cut flowers would
be hard to imagine at this season
I of the year and also after the pro
| longed drought. The President,
Mrs. W. W. Hare, has done a num
ber of things for the upbuilding
of the town and community since
entering upon her duties, but noth
ing which has created more inter
est and enthusiasm. She, with a
corps of efficient helpers had
made the Ward-Earp building on
Raeford street a bower of beauty
with decorations of crep paper,
streamers, etc., before the flow
ers, including 144 entries were put
Ion, which served as a very attract
ive background for them.
Mrs. I). II. McCulIcrs of Clay
ton, Miss Minnie Twee Garrison of
Smithfield, and Miss Elizabeth
Gainey of Fayetteville, were the
judges.
Dinner and supper was served
by the ladies of the club and a nice
sum was realized. This is Selma’s
first floral fair but by no means
the last.
Mr. A. R. Gordon Dead
Alfred R. Gordon, Sr., passed
away at his home Wednesday, Oc
tober 7. at 5:15. He had been in
declining health for over two
years with paralysis, but his death
came as a shock. He had been
considerably better for nearly a
week, having picked cotton the day
before and was taken in the field.
He was fifty years old on Aug
ust 1. He was so much better we
thought he would be spared to us
for many years but God saw fit
to call him away when it seemed
we needed him most- It is so hard
to realize that things are so mys
teriously done for our good, but
some day we shall perfectly un
derstand. While we miss him we
hope our loss is his eternal gairf
for his last words were, “God will
take care of me.”
The deceased is survived by a
wife, Mrs. Ada Lassiter Gordon,
and eight children as follows: Al
fred, Howell, Solomon; Sanfoijl,
Louis, Mary Elizabeth and twin
girls that came one week after
his burial. He also leaves two
brothers, J. C. Gordon, of Smith
field, C. P- Gordon of Wake For
est, and one sister, Mrs. W. H.
Howard, of Oxford.
Dearest father, thou hast left us
And our loss we deeply feel;
But ’tis God who hath bereft us—
He can all our sorrows heal
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in the grave so low;
Thou no more will join our number
Thou no more our songs shall
know,
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life is fled,
And with joy in heaven to greet
thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

MRS. A. R. GORDON.

PLENTY AMUSEMENT
The Johnston County fair comes
to its closing day with every day
full to the brim with amusement.
Free acts, the Brown and Dyer
shows, numerous ridirfe devices,
racing, fireworks at night and good
crowds have made fat a regular
fair. Quality rather than 'quantity
has characterized the exhibits,
probably due to several days of
rain just preceding the opening,
or more probably due to the fact
that last year’s premiums were
never paid. Two individual farm
exhibits belonging to Mr. D.
Hooper Sanders, ffmithfield, Route
2, and Mr. W. B. Lae. who lives
near Benson, have been the chief
attraction in the farm crops de*
partmont. This department, has
been scant in former years, but
Floral Hall booth presents tha
most complete appearance al
though there are a number of old
relics and quite a bit of fancy
work and art. Pantry supplies,
canned goq^ls, and school exhib-1
its are small. The poultry depart
ment makes a good showing.
Tuesday, with a record crowd for
opening day, harked back to the
custom of former years in having
a formal opening with a speaker.
Hon. Francis D. Winston, of
Windsor, was invited for this oc
casion and after the parade which
ended in front of the grand 4tand
at the fair grounds, he delivered
a very appropriate address.
Judge Winston spoke in part as
follows:
An agricultural fair oughfc to
be a real index and representation
of the agricultural and social Ufa
of the community it speaks foc^
that is its primary purpose.
“The fair exhibits should rep
resent the real crop products and
animal products, so far as*the
farm is concerned, and not repre
sent the specially produced cnop
and specially fattened animals for
prize-winning. A thousand point'd
hog is wonderful; but the real
question suggested by his enor
mous weight should be, ‘Does Jehn
ston county buy or sell meat?’
Two year old colts are beautiful,
but they should suggest the ques
tion, ‘Does Johnston county raise
its horses and mules or does she
buy them V
“Anil so on with your wonderful
and beautiful exhibits, which by
contrast will show the real agri
cultural conditions of this great
county.
“In 1922 the total value of
all farm products in North Caro
lina—crop and livestock products
—was around $500,000,’000 and our
rank was 15th. In that year the
per farm production of farm crops
and animal products was $1587.09.
Our rank among the States in
this view was 37th. These figures
represent the tetal value of all
farm and garden products, and of
all live stock products raised on
the farm, including that consum
ed, as well as that sold. It repre
sents the market value of every
thing produced on the farm that
year. The division of this sum se
as to show crop value, separate
from live stoqk value, throws a
flood of light on a weak spot Kn
our farming. Of the sum $1687.00
so raise per farm that year $1398.
00 represented crop production and
$249.00 represented animal prod
ucts.
“In the total production of an
imal products in 1922 our Sta*e
ranked 21st with an aggregate of
but 67,100,000. Our total produc
tion per farm was only $249.99 and
on this basis our rank was 43t4
with five Southern States below
us. \
“North Carolina ranks fifth in
number of farms, 21st in total val
ue of aniaial products and 43rd
in value of such products per
