C. M. Wilson, a : member of the board was instruct- j ed to make plans for dividing the sheriff’s office to accommodate the two new officers moving in. The school budget which had been presented at a previous meeting was formally approved practical ly as offered. A resolution was passed authorizing the board of education to build a school for the negroes at Four Oaks similar to the one at Short Journey. The Four Oaks negro building* was in such bad shape that it was dan gerous to use. This board was also authorized to pay the paving assessment against the Smithfield | and Selma graded schools. other business transacted in- | eluded the acceptance of the re ports fronj the sheriff, register of deeds, home demonstration agent and welfare officer.

I). E. EARNHARDT PREACHES STRONG SERMON One of the strongest sermons 1 preached by Rev. D. E. Earnhardt since becoming pastor of the Meth odist church here, was delivered j Sunday morning* on the topic: “A ! Warless World/’ Wfar lowers | moral standards. War results in | some quick changes of conventions. 1 War kills off the select. War is | inhuman and cruel. War bankrupts individuals and nations. These are j some of the points discussed by the preacher, who concluded by stating that war will never be prevented until we begin to teach against it. The pulpit and the school must teach against it. Some of the thoughts presented in the sermon will not be universally popular, but he jolted some of his hearers out of conventional think ing. Clinic For Cripples At Wilson. Through the orthopaedic clinics organized throughout North Car olina by the Department of Re habilitation under the auspices and support of the Kiwanis, Rotary and Lions clubs about four thous and examinations have been made by orthopaedic specialists of more than two thousand cripples. Over five hundred indigent crip ples from clubfooted babies two weeks old to deformed adults more than sixty years of age have been treated and helped through‘these clinics. . On Friday, October 14, a clinic under the auspices of the Lions club of Wilson will be held in the offices of the county health depart ment in the courthouse. All crip ples of Johnston county are in vited to attend the clinic between the morning hours of nine and twelve. -4 Originality: Doing what some other fellow did so long ago that people have forgotten about it. FOURTEEN YEAR OLD BOY RESCUES DROWNING BABY Once in a Lifetime Ruth Lee Taylor, 20 years old, fo Portland. Ore., is one of. the few exceptions who finds sudden fame in the movies..

This will permit -these--*o complete exactly two months be for the Christmas holidays. At this meeting, W: H. Call and M. B. Marrow were appointed to work out a system of vouchers for the education department that will fit in with the state system but which will be simpler to handle than the ones now in use. The state system provides that the vouchers originate in the superin tendent’s office in triplicate, then fie sent to the committeemep for their signatures, then returned to the superintendent’s office for his signature, then to the auditor’s office for his signature, thence to the treasurer for his signature, and finally to the payee. The board realizes that this works a hardship on the committeemen and also on the payee, and the committee will endeavor to work out a simpler system that will still comply with the law.

Insane Mother Puts Child Into Well; Kov Lowers Rope And Brings It To Safety; Shows Remarkable Presence Of Mind j -♦ : “There ain’t nothing that can kill her,” was t!:c c'r.rlu ion ar rived at by the matron of the Baby 1 Haven here when questioned as to the welfare of the little one-year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Clem Baker, who, after being res cued from a twenty-foot well half full of wale**, was intrusted to her care last Saturday. The occurrence, which took place oh Friday and which came near having a tragic end, biin.g.s com mendation to the fohrteen-year-old half brother of the child, who, with a presence of mind and sheer heroism that would reflect honor on one far beyond his years, went down into the well and saved his little sister from drowning. The story caine to light Satur day when Johnston county officers were summoned to the Baker home near Pine Level to take into, cus tody Mrs. Baker, fourth or fifth wife of Clem Baker and mother of j the child, who evidently in a fit I of insanity endeavored to take her baby's life. Previous to this at tempt. it is said that the child had, I at different times in some myster ious way. got doses of flit, creso line, iodine and shattered glass. A pin had even been extracted from its head. ! According- to the officers and the welfare superintendent, Mrs. D. J. Thurston, the child was rescued from the well on Friday. The screams of a colored woman brought Frank, the fourteen-year old son of Mrs. Baker, from the cotton patch where he was at w$jrk. The well chain was broken, but a piece of plow line tied to a bucket, and with the other end wrapped around a post was let down into the well. Quick as a flash, the boy slid down the rope, seized the clothing of the drowning child and managed to g-et his feet into the bucket. By that time Baker and others had reached the scene and pulled them from the well. The baby, after some little work was resuscitated. The boy’s hands were blistered in the palms from \ the rapid descent on the rope. The mother was brought here ' Saturday by Deputy T. E. Talton, | and an examination was made by j the county health officer, who ( found her to be insane. She is now in the county jail for safekeeping , awaiting her acceptance at the State Hospital, application having j already been made to that institu-1 tion. The baby was broug-ht by Mrs. Thurston to the Baby Haven at i Mrs. E. F. Crump’s, and the re port yestenday was that she is do-! ing-nicely. Frank Baker, the young boy who risked his life to save his baby ' sister, deserves credit and honor J for his brave deed. He is a frail . boy, who has worked hard for his , daily bread. Through the welfare department, he will be placed in a J suitable home with school advan- j tages. He is at present with Henry Barrow' who lives near the Baker 1 home. Any communication in care j of Mr. Barrow would reach him at Pine Level. ! OFFICERS CAPTURE STILL AND ARREST NEGRO Friday afternoon R. D. Mahler, A. B. Hood, John Hood, George Weeks, and W. A. Rose, of Ben tonville township, captured a 60 gallon whiskey still and arrested Dock Anderson a negro, in Boon Hill township. When the officers arrived Anderson w»as preparing to run off a charge. He was ar rested and brought here to jail. His trial in recorder’s court has been set for October 18. Seventeen barrels of beer were found at the still. 1 This is Anderson’s second of fense. He escaped from officers at a still last July, and they have been trying ever since to catch him. -+ | Many a true word is spoken by mistake. , -. i “This is roug-h on me,” chortled ,the dumb co-ed as the Stude-who didn’t shave kissed her.

One had failed! ;o see a school notice and did not , file an application for a change in lis school district in time to enter lis children in school., one forgot j, ;he assessor was coming; one is j still lamenting that he did not j enow of a neighboring reunion and i, picnic; another missed a stock sale, rhe list was not nearly so long as I, t might easily have been made.! We hear the same kind of a story ilmost every week. Taking your j iome paper means more than just | in opportunity to get the latest lo- j ;al news. It is really a sort of in- j surance against missing the busi-1 ness matters with which one must j keep informed; bargains in buying and selling; legal information that I monies only through the newspapers! and not the city papers, either. Every citizen who fails to take his home paper is dependent upon the charity or good nature of his neigh bors to keep him informed on such matters.—Clayton News. Pomona-Creech Club Notes.

DON’T DELAY HARVEST OF SWEET POTATOES RALEIGH, Oct. 10.—The sweet )otato crop of North Carolina is maturing early this year and here is no reason for delaying he harvest. The potatoes should >e out of the ground before frost recause when hurt by cold, the rotatoes will not keep under any -onditions. “Killing the vines by frost does lot always affect the root crop un ler the vines,” says Robert Schmit, •egetable specialist at State Col ege, “yet there is always danger if cold injury when the frosts are leavy. In handling the potatoes, hey should be moved as little as rossible and care taken not to iruise them. Bruises provide fav irable conditions for rots and vhen the bruises heal, they leave insightly blemishes on the pota :o.” Mr. Schmidt recommends a standard curing house as the best place for curing and storing the :rop. Tobacco barns may be used j 3ut they have disadvantages but | even tobacco barns are to be de-j sired above the earthen banks. Before using the old storage house, clean it out and disinfect the inside thoroughly. When it has dried out begin to store the pota toes. Curing should start as soon as any potatoes are brought into the house. The curing temperature is about 85 degrees and it will take two weeks to get a good cure. Dur ing all this time, the house must fco well ventilated and at the end of the curing period, the tem perature needs to be reduced to about 50 degrees and k^pt at that point all the time the roots are in the house. The potatoes need a dry atmos phere to keep well, which makes ventilation very important, states Mr. Schmidt. Baptist Circles To Meet. The circles of the Baptist Mis sionary society will meet Thursday 'afternoon at 7:30 o’clock at the |following homes: the Judson, with |Mrs. H. G. Gray; the Yates with Mrs. J. E. Medlin, and the Loottie Moone with Mrs. O. E. Matthews and Mrs. George Cherry at the home of Mrs. Matthews. All mem jbers are urged to attend.

G. T. Whitley, superintendent, stressed promptness and more time spent on school work so that each student might have a good founda tion for the work in the grade ahead or in college. Paul D. Grady, chairman of the school board, welcomed the new and the old teachers into the com munity and asked for the united efforts of patrons and teachers for the school.
