Dr. Bradshaw at Edgerton Church.
Dr. M. Bradshaw, the much be
loved presiding elder of the Ral
eigh district, preached a wonder
ful sermon on Sunday evening and
held quarterly conference imme
diately after the service.
The subject of his discourse was
“Fear.” He took his text from
John 14:27, — “Let not your heart
be troubled, neither let it be afraid”
“The handicaps of fear are in
estimable, few of us realize what
A menace it is. God says, ‘Be irong
and of good courage,’ but he never
promised his support to the cow
ard. We falter, hesitate and fail in
our undertakings because of fear
ed calamities which seldom ever
come. Prophets of evil are abroad
ip the land saying that the church
i« failing, that we are losing
ground; but God says, ‘I will build
Wy church upon a rock, and the
gates of hell shall not prevail
against it.’ Christ shall lead his
forces to a triumphant victory.”
[ Dr. Bradshaw made a profound
impression on his hearers who are
locking forward to his return three
months hence.

Rocky Mount Man Talks On
I Value of A Chamber of
Commerce and County Fair
I Association
-♦
Norman Chambliss, ex-secretary
of the Rocky Mount Chamber of
Commerce, and of the Rocky Mount
Fair Association, was the speaker
at the weekly luncheon meeting of
the Kiwanis club here yesterday.
The Kiwanis club has had under
advisement several propositions of
a civic nature among which are a
merchants’ organization of some
kind for Smithfield and a Johnston
county fair, and Mr. Chambliss was
invited to talk along these lines.
He began his talk by stating that
he knew of no town in North Car
olina without a chamber of com
merce or similar organization that
was not dead or dying. There is
prejudice in some places, he said,
against a chamber of commerce
especially if one has been organ*
lzed and then gone down. In cases
like that he thinks a board of
trade or merchants association
would work better. After a town
definitely decides that it needs
such organization, he advised that
the organization be for a period
of five years instead of one. A
chamber of commerce with a full
time secretary will require some
thing like $7,500 a year, in order
to provide a fund to be used in
furthering projects undertaken and
advertising, stated Mr. Chambliss.
He then cited some of the things
accomplished by the Rocky Mount
chamber of commerce showing
'what such an organization may
mean to a town.
| In regard to a county fair, the
speaker suggested that as many
farmers as possible be signed up.
He advised against organizing
'with the making of money as an
objective.
The speech was well receieved
by the Kiwanians present, Dr. A.
S. Oliver of the Benson Kiwanis
club, was a guest on this occas
ion.
FROG SPRY AFTER 31-YEAR
REST IN CORNERSTONE BOX
EASTLAND, Tex., Feb. 24.—After
a nap of 31 years in the hollow of
the cornerstone in Eastland coun
ty’s courthouse without food or
any description of fresh air, a
horned frog was removed alive on
Saturday afternoon in presence of
officials, ministers and several
thousand citizens.
Old residents some time ago re
called that a toad was placed in
the. hollow of the stone with pa
pers, records and other relics when
the structure was built 31 years
ago. They also recalled1 old Texas
legend that a horned toad can live
100 years without food or water
Much speculation prevailed
throughout the country during the
past few weeks as to whether the
little reptile could survive. Tele
grams seeking information came
from all over the United States.
The answer came Saturday aft
ernoon when the toad was uncov
ered. He seemed to be in a stupoi
but as sun’s warm rays struct
him he twitched several times
• while the, throng cheered wildly.
No Blame Laid
On Dr. Flowers
Coroner’s Jury Finds the Ac
cident Which Caused the
Death of Lester Whitley to
Have Been Unavoidable
-♦
At the coroner’s inquest held
here Wednesday morning:, Dr. C. j
A. Flowers of Wendell, was exon- j
erated from all iblame as to the ac
jcident in which his car collided j
with that of Mr. Lester Wliicley j
[causing: the death of Mr. Whitley
| Saturday . night near Clyde's
Chapel.
| Dr. Flowers was answering a
call to the home of Mr. Troy Wall
and Mr. Whitley had started to
Wendell to bring his brother home.
Mr. Whitley is said to have been
driving with only one light, and
Dr. Flowers thought he was far
enough on the side of the road to
avoid a collision. When the cars
crashed together, the physician
saw that Mr. Whitley was hurt
and w’ent to him at once. He press
ed a scalp wound together and
wiped the blood from his nose and
ears. It is thought the skull must
have been fractured for the man
lived only about ten minutes.
Dr. Flowers went to the home
of Mr. Clayburn Sanders and told
him of the accident and who had
been hurt. They then sent for an
undertaker and notifie the rela
tives of the dead man.
Several witnesses including Dr.
Flowers were examined by the cor- |
oner’s jury here Wednsday, and in j
a short time they rendered their
verdict which stated that Mr. Whit
ley came to his death by an auto
mobile accident which was una
voidable.

record in the eighth grade at the
time of his death.
Funeral services were conducted
the following day by Rev. W. D.

During the service many were
standing in the aisles and door

ers and carrying the flowers whicr
were many and beautiful. Mr. E

ever growing list o'f automobile
casualties when Sam Brady, the
j little eleven-year-old son of Mr.
Henry Brady who lives near town,
was fatally struck by an automo
bile on highwway number 22 Tues
day afternoon. The little fellow,
with several companions, was on
his way home from school. They
were playing with a ball and Sam
is said to have darted suddenly
across the road after the ball, when
an automobile driven by Leland
L. Morquairdt struck the child. He
picked him up and. rushed him to
the hospital but the little boy never
regained consciousness and yester
day morning about nine o’clock,
he passed * away. His skull was
fractured and also his right leg.
Mr. Morquairdt, who is with the
Froteetograph company with head
quarters at Raleigh, is very much
hurt over the accident, though it
seemed unavoidable.
The little boy was a student of
the graded school here, Mrs. L. T.
Royall being his teacher.
The funeral will be held today
near Snow Hill, and inteiment
made beside his mother who pre
ceded him to the grave some time

Cleveland Farmer
Raises Chickens
Bradley Wright Plans To In
crease Flock to About 5000
Next Year; Side Line to
Farming
Chicken raising as an aid to the
farm treasury has ceased to be
an experiment now, and numbers
of farmers are depending upon the
hen to bring in a cash income
throughout the year. Bradley
Wright, a young farmer of Upper
Cleveland township, is among the
number who find raising chickens
profitable. He has about 600 Barred
Rocks and about 400 Rhode Island
Reds and expects to increase his
flock to 5000 next year. He began
three years ago with 200. He raises
his own chicken feed. He has about
a thousand dollars invested in
chickens, houses and other equip
ment. He has two modern chicken
houses. He also has a place which
he calls his “Hospital” where all
chickens that develop any disease
are placed until they get well or
lie.
In addition to chickens, Mr.
Wright has 32 hives of bees.
Chickens and bees, however, are
just side lines to his regular farm
ing. He and his father have about
200 acres of land on which they
raise food and feedstuff first and
then money crops.

Princeton Loses
To Local Highs
Blankenship’s Five Advance
in Consolation Series By
26-14 Win; Norton Is Out
standing Star
Coach Blankenship’s Smithfield
high basketeers, who early this
season defeated the supposed John
ston county champions, and later
defended their claim to the county
title by holding the Princeton high
five to a tie, became the undisputed
champions of the county here on
Tuesday night at the armory by
virtue of a 26-14 victory over
Coach Boyette’s five. Besides giving
the locals a clear right to the
county championship the victory
gave Smithfield the championship
of Group 2 in the state consolation
series.
Smithfield jumped into the lead
early in the first quarter and held
the large end .of the count through
out the affray. Near the end of
the half the locals ran the count to
14 to 3. Here the Princeton lads
woke up and caged two goals be
fore the purple and gold team knew
what had happened. The half end
ed 14 to 7. This was as close as
Princeton could get to lead for the
Smithfield tossers resumed its at
tack with the opening of the sec
ond half.
lhe fcmithheld team worked m
perfect harmony throughout and
were entirely too much for the
Boon Hill five. Bill Norton, local
forward, lead both teams in scor
ing. He shot enough baskets sin
glehanded to defeat Princeton. His
total was fifteen. Captain Ed Par
rish’s floorwork also went on the
bill as a feature of the contest. His
scoring was kept down consider
ably on account of being covered
closely by the Princeton guards*
Uzzle proved effective under the
goal. He followed several long
shots and made several good goals.
Ragsdale and Avera were by no
means out of the affray. Ragsdale
broke up many plays which would
have meant points for Princeton.
Avera worked exceedingly well at
center.
Stevens, Princeton guard, play
ed a good all-round game for the
losers.
