Prison Officials
Inspect Camps
Pou Pleased With Condi
tions in Prison Camps in
Mountain Section.
(The Asheville Citizen, Nov. 2.'?.)
“The fact that not one sick pris
oner was found in State prison
camps in Western North Carolina
was most pleasing and is concrete
evidence of ilhe care and super
vision being given these prisoners
by the supervisors in charge of the
five State prison camps in the
mountains,” stated George Ross
Pou, superintendent of the North
Carolina State prisons , its farms
and camps, yesterday. Mr. Pou is
a visitor in Asheville for a few
days. He is a lawyer of Smithfield
and is the son of Ed. W. Pou, who
has been a member of Congress
for 25 continuous years and is
second only in the list of contin
uous termers in the lower branch
of the U. S. Congress.
Mr. Pou has recently visited the
State prison camps located at Bat
Cave, Mt. Emma, Franklin, Al
mond and Marshall and inspected
the site for the location of a new
camp near Laurel, in Madison
county. “There are more than 300
State prisoners confined in the
Western camps,” said Superintend
ent Pou. “A41 are negroes. Not a
death has occurred in these camps
in the past year. The State is to
be congratulated on securing such
men as Captain .T. B. Ilalloway,
at the Bat Cave Camp; Captain F.
G. Baker, at the Mt. Emma amp;
Captain N. E. Raines, of the Mar
shall amp, and Captain L. H.
Champion, in charge of the camps
at Franklin and Almond.
“The prisoners all seemed satis
fied and the contractors are highly
pleased with their services,” Super,
intendent Pou said.
“The population of the State
prison has increased more than
100 per cent in the past four
years,” Mr. Pou said. “From 700
prisoners in 1021 we now have a
population of 1,400. It is re
grettable to note the increasing
number of young white men who
are sent to State prison. Until re
| cently the committment of negroes
exceeded the commitment of
whites about three to one. How
ever, the recent commitments of
white men exceed the negro com
mitments and the sad thing is the
average age is about 20 years.”
“I am a great believer in the
parole system and in the inter
mediate sentence. During my more
than four years as superintendent
of the prison I have recommended
more than 100 parloes. Of this
number I do not know of one pris
oner who has violated his parole.”
Asked as to crop conditions on
the two State farms, Superintend
ent Pou said more than 500 bales
of cotton would be produced on
four hundred acres at the Camp
Polk farm in Wake county which
is manned by negro prisoners and
about 1,800 bales would be pro
duced on the Caledonia farm in
Halifax county—a white farm.
“The prisoners of the Central
prison, in Raleigh, are now manu.
facturing concrete culverts for the
State Highway Commission at a
saving of about 50 per cent of the
former cost to the highway depart
ment. Should the highway depart
ment use as much concrete culverts
this year as last its manufacture by
p prison labor will entail a saving of
approximately $00,000, or enough
to construct two miles of concrete

Ladies Night At.
The Kiwanis Club
F. H. Jeter, President of
The Raleigh Club, h
Guest of Honor.
Mr. F. If. Jeter, president of
the Raleigh Kiwanis club, was the
principal speaker at the Kiwanis
dinner given here Wednesday eve
ning at the club room. The occas
ion was “Ladies Night,” and Ki
wanians had as their guests their
wives and sweethearts. Mr. Jeter
proved a most delightful after
dinner speaker and kept the fif
ty or sixty guests in an uproar of
laughter with his wit and humor.
His talk, however, concluded with
the real Kiwanis spirit when he
emphasized the importance of
serving not only the immediate
town, but the entire community.
The agricultural clement of any
section is the foundation of pros
perity and there should be a close
cooperation between town and
country.
Mr. Smith and Chaplain Zim
merman of Fort Brafeg, were
guests on this occasion, and Mr.
Smith presented the work of the
Red Cross in appropriate words.
A most enjoyable musical pro
gram was a feature of the eve
ning. Mr. A. M. Calais sang a
solo; Miss Irene Myatt and Mr.
Calais, a duet.
The Woman’s club served the
dinner, a turkey menu with all
the Thanksgiving accessories.
GREAT RUSSIAN MUSICIANS
Loseff’s Russian Orchestral
Quartet, which is to appear at the
Four Oaks school auditorium on
Wednesday evening, December 2.
will offer one of the best and
most popular musical programs of
the season. This organization of
talented artists appears in its na
tive Russian costume, and the
platform effect is indeed striking.
The programs of the quartet are
a combination of life and enthus
iasm and cover a wide range of
music from the wild, fantastic
Russian dances, through the most
exquisite, inspiring and difficult
arias of the old masters, to that
music termed, “popular, but never
trashy.”
A prominent and pleasing fea
ture, and one that never fails to
evoke the greatest enthusiasm, is
a sterling rendition of the beau
tiful Russian folk songs, accom
panied by haunting Russian bal
lalikas. For intensive melody noth_
ing surpasses these old songs. Each
member of the quartet is an ac
complished soloist.
A program by this splendid or
ganization is in no way an exper
iment. Season after season they
have met with enthusiastic ap
proval everywhere. Ain evening
with this company will rank as
a distinct event in our commun
ity.

Meet In Interest
Near East Relief
Chairman Calls Meeting
to Formulate Plans For
Observance of Golden
Rule Sund iy.
Judge F. H. Brooks, local chair
man of the Near East Relief, has
[written a letter to all the pastors
: in the county asking them to at
! tend a meeting in the Victory
I Theater at Smithfield on next Sun
I day afternoon at 3:30.
At this time a brief talk on
the work will be given by Rev.
Chester Alexander who has seen
the work that the Near East Re
lief is doing in the Bible lands.
Besides the brief talk on the work
there will be several reels of mo
tion pictures showing the work in
the orphanages and refugee camps.
I These pictures have been loaned
by the Near East Relief State
office at Charlotte. For several
years the Near East Relief has
been feeding and training over
15,000 boys and girls who were
made orphans by the World War.
when the Turks invaded Armenia
and later destroyed the ancient
city of Smyrna.
The pastors are asked to bring
with them members of the Young
Peoples Society or Sunday school
i'.o that tthe young people may
help make plans for the observance
of Golden Rule Sunday on Decem
ber 0. All the young Peoples So
ieties of the United States have
been asked to make a canvass of
the towns and country on Decem
ber C to invite the people to ob
erve Goluen Rule Sunday. After
the reports are all in the national
office of Near East Relief will
decide which city of the country
is the Golden Rule City. Last year
Columbia, S. C., was named and
the year before Chester, S. C., won
the distinction. Each of these cit
ies had the privilege of sending
to the - Bible lands one of their
number to see this work and to
report on it to the young people of
our country.
The young people in their can
vass ask the housekeepers to pre
pare a simple meal instead of the
elaborate Sunday dinner and to
give the difference in cost between
the elaborate and the simple meal
to the support of the boys and
girls overseas. Judge Broioks is
ery anxious that some town or
rural community in Johnston coun
ty be named as the Golden Rule
spot of the United States this year,
and he believes that the wide
awake pastors and young people of
the county can put across the
greatest Golden Rule observance
yet on record.

Just on the edge of Four Oaks,
late yesterday afternoon, an auto

an effort to get out of the way
they ran their car into the ditch,

by the young ladies was only
slightly damaged, but the other
car was considerably broken up.

WILSON’S MILLS
RENDERS THANKS
Christian Endeavor Society Has
Splendid Thanksgiving Serv
ice at Christian Church.
—
Wilson’s Mills, Nov. 25. Sunday
afternoon with all of its invigorat
i ing atmosphere and autumnal ar
ray was off-set by a spirit of gen
uine thankfulness when the peo
; pie of the village met within a
(church of God and rendered one of
; the best programs within the his
j lory of the Christian Endeavior
^organization of the Christian
church here.
Prom the responsive service,
lead by Mr. Nathan Womack, to
the last number a spirit) of thanks
giving prevailed. Mr. F. H. Brooks,
of Smithxield, presented a splen
did lecture on “America and Pros
perity.” Ranging from Johrlston
county to the wide sweep of ter
ritory between the eastern and
the western shores, he listed the
interesting statistics which em
phatically proved our greatness as
a prosperous nation.
Prom this review. Mr. Brooks
! emphasized what our attitude
should he toward God—toward
Christian education—toward Chris
tian living. The “Judge” ever at
his best, excelled himself on this
occasion.
Rev. Chester Alexander of Smith
field, brought a message, beautiful
in simplicity and bearing on the
necessity of a continuous grat
itude toward God. Citing the Apos
tle Paul, heroes of the World War,
gatherings in a refugee camp, Rev.
Mr. Alexander portrayed an ap
pealing picture of the necessity of
gratitude if a person would he
content with his lot. Rev. Mr.
Alexander in his splendid, mes
sage left upon the people a pro
*found impression. They will nob
soon forget the earnestness of this
young minister of the gospel.
As inspiring as the above
themes, was the special musical
numbers. Miss Irene Myatt and
Mr. Paul Eason, of Smithfield,
for their splendid contributions the
entire organization is grateful.
This summary cannot be conclud
ed without giving credit to Miss

Clayton Gub Has
Legion Program
Mr. Fran>k Capps, of Ral
eigh, Makes Principal
Talk of Occasion.
Clayton, Nov. 25.—On Armistice
Day, Nov. 11, the regular meeting
of the Woman’s Club was held
with Mrs. W. F. Weathers as hos
tess. The lovely new home was
enhanced by the tasteful addition
of autumn flowers and American
flags in keeping with the season
and the day.
An interesting business session
was presided over by the president,
Mrs. B. A. Ilocutt, and each de
partment was shown to be active
and prosperous. Mrs. W. M. San
ders of Smithfield, was present
and made a few remarks compli
menting the Clayton club.
Following the business hour,
Mrs. Hugh A. Page, who never
disappoints her audience gave the
following program on the subject:
“The American Legion.” The pro
gram opened with the reading of
“The Ten Commandments of the
American Legion,” in unison. Miss
Josephine Poole next gave a read
ing, “The Great) World War.” The
applause brought an encore and
she gave a humorous reading on
the same subject. The feature of
the program was the introduction
of Mr. Frank Capps of Raleigh,
by Lieut. Hugh A. Page, who dur
ing the introductory remarks told
some interesting facte concerning
the local post. Mr. Capps in an
informal way delighted every one
with his easy manner as he pre
sented the subjects: “Armistice
Day” and “The American Legion.”
“These,” he said, “are inseparable.”
He stated that the membership of
the legion is now about seven
hundred thousand. It is an unself
ish and public-spirited institution,
seeking first to care for the dis
abled, and in many ways to bring
comfort and sustenance to those
left destitute because of the World
War.
A rising vote of thanks was
given Mr. and Mrs. Page and Mr.
Capps for the excellent program
The hostess assisted by Mrs.
Clyde Wall, Mrs. Norwood Bar
bour, and Miss Blanche Barbour,
served a delicious fruit salad with
saltines, pickle, chicken salad sand

flags were next passed followed
by salted almonds.

tion in the papers concerning Pine
Level, N. C., being in the movies,
Mr. C. C. Hook, Charlotte archi
tect, who has drawn the plans for
a number of Johnston county

incident. About a year ago soon
after “Classmates”, the story by
Walter Eberhardt, which has its
scene laid in a North Carolina
town, Pine Level, was put on the
screen, a Chicagoan, was in Mr.
Hook’s office. He was represent
ing some building material firm
and was in to see Mr. Hook con
cerning his wares. Mr. Hook cas
ually asked his stenographer to
bring him the Pine Level school
plans to see what the specifica
tions called for.
“Pine Level, did you say?” ask
ed the Chicagoan. “Is there such
a place?” Then he proceeded to
tell Mr. Hook how he and his wife
had attended a movie in Chicago
a few nights before and saw the
picture, “Classmates,” with the
scene laid in Pine Level, N. C.
Mr. Hook assured him that
whether or not Mr. Eberhardt had
ever heard of the real Pine Level
or not, it was certainly in exist
ence, located on the main line of
the Southern Railway.

BUILDING PROGRAM
Four Oaks, Nov. 25.—Almost an
entire block of Four Oaks business
section was destroyed by fire Tues
day night. The fire caught in the
livery stable opposite the railroad
station about 8 o’clock. Hie fire
had gotten some headway before
it was discovered. All the stores
and buildings leading up to the
bank, including the A. C. L. sta
tion were burned, and the bank
was badly damaged. The Smith
field, Selma and Fayetteville fire
departments were called and they
responded promptly.
The streets were filled with men,
women and children. It looked for
a while that the whole town would
burn.
The burned buildings included
the livery stable of R. W. Smith,
the grocery stores of W. D. Allen
and Willard Johnson and a res
taurant owned by Mrs. Julius
Johnson.
Mr. William Sanders had the
misfortune to get his ankle sprain
ed during the fire which was the
only accident that happened. Since
the fire occurred, we hope it will
make the people of Four Oaks
realize more fully the need of wa
ter in town, for we have no way in
which to extinguish fire, except by
buckets. The people of Four Oaks
appreciate vry much the aid Smith
field, Selma and Fayetteville gave
us in helping to extinguish the
fire. Smitltfield fire department
deserves special mention, the truck
coming over in eleven minutes.
The Carolina Light and Power
company’s men have arrived to
begin work rebuilding the town
and it is much nee d of,retd
and it is much needed, for the line
has been in a dangerous condition
for some time. *
Mr. Ira Lee, of Smithfield, is
erecting a six room bungalow on
North Main Street near the school
building. Houses are needed in
Four Oaks. Build and let the town
grow.
Four Oaks school has had to add
two more rooms to the building to
accommodate the pupils. Two extra
teachers have been added to the
faculty. They are Mij.ses Jean
Smith and Annie Nichols.

with pronounced individuality.
Their instrumental and vocal se
lections are brilliant, varied and
masterfully rendered.
