PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH TO HAVE ANNUAL, pANVASS Sunday afternoon from two to , four o’clock the members of the j Presbyterian church will call at tha church and leave their pledge cards for church support for com ing church year April 1, 1928 to April 1, 1929. This voluntary sys tem of church canvass is found to be ..very satisfactory, according to a statement by the pastor, Rev. Chester Alexander, who believes that those who want to support the church will bring “their tithes to the storehouse,” while those who want the benefits of the church ‘ without paying for it will find some way to get out of pledging or paying anything at al. The church has not closed its books for the past year yet, but the pastor thinks, that when all the re turns are in that the amount of money raised for the year will be equal to that of last church year, which was $8624.

Broadhurst of State Uni versity, In Addressing Iii wanians, Tells How a Boy Should Chose His Profes sion I One of the most instructive speeches herad by local Kiwanians was that of Francis F. Bradshaw, Dean of students at the State Uni versity, who spoke before the club yesterday. Mr. Bradshaw's subject !was “Vocational Guidance.” Mr. Bradshaw has made a study of this subject and brought some very in teresting facts to the attention of1 his audience. JVlr. Bradshaw said that the old method of boys following trade, business or profession of their fathers, was fast giving away to the examination of the young men by vocational experts to see if the boy has the inclination or the tal ents for such “job succession,” and if not to help him to direct his talents and his inclinations toward the right profession. “There were ’once four professions,” said the speaker, “the mihistry, law, medi cine, and army or navy, whereas now the vocational experts list more than eleven thousand sepa rate and distinct professions. A good illustration of how a young man should go about determining what he shall do in life, is offer- 1 ed *in the likeness of it to court-' ship. A young man should not I marry the first girl he meets, but I he should go with many girls, then when he likes one above the rest he should court her earnestly, and i if he loves her enough then he‘ ought to try to marry her. So also j a young man should during his high school and college days fa-1 miliarize himself with many trades and vocations, he should pick out the one he likes best and pay earn est attention to that one and if he loves it enough he can very safely take that profession for life.” Prof. Shuford’s committee on vocational guidance had charge of the meeting. Questions were ask ed Mr. Bradshaw after his ad dress, and a great deal of interest was manifested in the subject. Music at the meeting was furnish ed by the Deluxe Quartet, consist ing of R. C. Gillett, lead; C. C. Massey, tenor; J. W. Whitehead, baritone, and T. C. Young, bass. SMALLPOX WAVE FEARED AT MEREDITH COLLEGE RALEIGH, March 22.—An extensive campaign was being carried on at Meredith college ! tonight as a result of the dis- I covery that one of the negro cooks had1 contracted smallpox.

C., was convicted late today of voluntary manslaughter and given a term of one year in the peni tentiary. A shadow seemed to pass over his somewhat boyish features when the verdict was announced, In a few moments, however, they were brightened by a smile, as he leaned over, whispering into the ear of Senator Gray H. Addon, one1 of his attorneys. He was willing to accept the verdict, and his at-i torneys agreed that this was the best course to pursue. When no motion to set it aside canie from them, he was told to stand up. Walter Christian, veteran clerk of the court, asked if he had any thing to say why sentence should not be imposed in accordance with the verdict of the jury. “Nothing,” came the reply in a clear, firm Jury Lenient. Judge Wells then proceeded to pass sentence. He told Faison that he had followed the evidence close ly throughout the trial, and in his opinion the jury had been exceed ingly lenient. ■ trust you will appreciate the leniency which has been shown you,” he went on, “and that you will come back to your family and be a better man after you have served your time. Let this be a les son to you.” Directly behind Faison sat his wife, a frail, slim woman, with care-worn features, who had re mained faithful despite his infide lity and had testified in his de fense at the trial just as well as she did also at the previous trial, which resulted in a hung jury. After Judge Wells had concluded Ms remarks, she joined her hus band, two tried to cheer her with the assurance that it would not be long before he would be back with her and the children. He would get four months off for good be havior and would be allowed an additional month for the time he had spent in jail. She held up brave ly until several jurors stepped for ward, speaking words of cheer to her and shaking her hand, said “God bless you.” Tears then well ed into her eyes as she thanked them for their expressions of sym pathy. Shaking Faison’s hand, they told him that they had discharged their duty as they saw it, and they were confident he would be a better man and husband when he came out of prison. They had had the case un der advisement since efarly last night and had reached their ver dict after reviewing it from every angle. Kisses Wife Good-Bye. Before being led out of the court room and back to jail, Faison kiss ed his wife good-bye, and also bade adieu to his father and two broth ers, who were with him through out the trial. Both Prosecuting Attorney Dave Satterfield and Attorney J. J. Hatch, of Goldsboro, N. C., who assisted in the prosecution, expres sed themselves as satisfied with the verdict, though they had ex pected a heavier sentence. 'Mr. and Mrs. Calvin A. Holt, of Princeton parents of the woman whom Faison was alleged to have slain in her apartment here the early morning of November 16, last by sending a pistol ball through her head in a moment of jealous rage, were likewise satisfied, al though they, too, had expected the jury to deal more severely with him. They left for their home in North Carolina tonight. KEV. D. H. TUTTLE AT MILL SUNDAY NIGHT There will be preaching at fho mill school house at seven o’clock Sunday night conduct ' by Rev. D. H. Tuttle.' Kenly High School Hears M. G. Mann i I^ks On ‘Tour Seeds” As He Presents Plans For Essays On Cooperative Marketing KENLY, Mar. 21.—“If every pupil lives and gets along well he must plant four seeds as he trav els along life’s highway,” said Mr. M. G. Mann, director of field ser vice for the North Carolina Co operative Association, as he ad ressed the students of Kenly High School Tuesday morning. These four seeds are: (1) char acter. (2) value of time. (3) pat ience, and (4) pleasure of work. Under the subject of character comes the ways in which one1 conducts himself, keeping oneself clean from falsehoods and other impurities. “How important is value of time,” said Mr. Mann. “It is very important that we teach our chil-j dren to value time in school, at home, and at playtime. Time is! Very valuable even though that is! all that most of us have.” Patience is something most peo-i pie are without for they want to go from the slums of life to the1 life of a millionaire instead of growing that way. A six-year-old can, by no means, be made into a twenty-one years old child, until it has lived the rest of the twen ty-one years, for everything takes alienee. Last but not least, comes the pleasure of work. If a man or wo man, boy or girl likes his or her work, then he will go about it with a smile on his or her face. Mr. Mann said that smiles is the longest word because there is a mile between the first and last letters. With a smile on one’s face he is very apt to win what he starts to do for he looks like a kind and cheerful chap, and peo ple like to meet a smiling face which indicates love of work. Mr. J. A. Smith of near Smith field, who is the cooperative mar keting agent for Johnston Coun ty, also made a talk on the essays which are to be written by pu ils in the schools and members of the 4-H Clubs of thirteen states He told of the prizes offered by the merchants of Smithfield for the best essays submitted in John ston county. They are $25.00, 1st prize: $15.00, 2nd prize: and $10 third prize. There will also be a fountain pen and pencil given to the winner in each of the fifteen high schools in Johnston County. The purpose of these essays is to show and to teach the pupils and parents the value of Coopera tive Marketing and what has been accomplished by it. In giving point Mr. Mann said the farmers of these states and of others would! soil their eggs to some packing company, such as Amours, which would pack them away and w
