Liquor Found In
Benson Residence
Arrest of Negro Lead
To Raid of Arthur
Hudson’s House
The arrest of a negro in Benson
Sunday night by police officers led
to a raid later on of the dwelling
of Arthur Hudson, a white man liv
ing in one of the best residential
sections of the city of Benson.
When the negro was arrested and
a pint of liquor was found on him,
he stated that he had bought it
from Arthur Hudson, and steps
were taken to apprehend Hudson.
The sheriff’s office was communi
cated with and Deputies T. E. Tal
ton, John O. Ellington and C. C.
Hathaway went to Benson to as
sist in the raid.
When officers went to the Hud
son house it was found that no one
was at home. The officers were not
sure whether they had the right to
search out a residence in the ab
sence of the owner, and it was
time before they could get infor
mation as to what to do. In the !
meantime the officers made a
^search around the premises and a
V|pp door was discovered under the
house in the living room, the door
being covered by the rug on the I
floor. Signs as of something hav- j
ing been buried in the ground were |
disclosed also under the blouse.
About 3:40, the officers went into
the house where they found a half
gallon of whiskey, a funnel in a
half gallon fruit jar, a lot of jugs, i
bottles and other containers.
A warrant has been issued for
Hudson, but at this writing he has
not been arrested. It is thought
that he and his family left home
Sunday night when they got wind
of a possible raid.
C. C. L. of America Meets.
Selma, March 26.—One of tho
most enthusiastic meetings of the
C. C. L. of America was held with
Mrs. Wm. H. Creech in her home
on Massey street, Tuesday after
noon, March 21. Beautiful growing
flowers and baskets and vases of
cut flowers made very attractive
decorations in the home. The meet
ing was called to order by Mrs.
^George Norwood, president of the
' club. The business of the club was
briefly transacted and the meeting
then turned over to the program
committees. The topic for discus
sion was “Labor.” “Teach boys and
girls that work for themselves is
not a curse, but a blessing.” Mrs.
Junius Peedin read a most interest
ing paper on “Dignity of Labor as
a Medium of Expresson.” Mrs. C.
E. Younger read a very appreciat
ed paper, entitled “Necessity for
Every Human Being to Do -His
Work in the World.” Mrs. C. A.
Jacobs delightfully read “White
washing the Fence” from Tom
Sawyer. Mrs. C. B. Fulghum read
a paper on “Encouraging the Lit
tle Child to Help Mother as a
Method of Establishing its Indus
trial Object to Helping in the
Home.” Mrs. George Norwood made
a most helpful talk on Malnutri
tion, the subject being, “What is
Malnutrition?”
At the conclusion of the pro
gram, the hostess assisted by Mrs.
Monroe Henry and Bennett Creech
served a delightful salad course
V»nd tea. The club heartily welcom
ed Mrs. Monroe Henry as a new
member. Those enjoying the oc
casion were as follows! Mesdames

Painting Machine
Mr. Kirkman Decides To
Manufacture and Distri
bute Product In Native City
Patient and painstaking work on
the part of Mr. J. H. Kirkman has
resulted in the completion of ar
rangements for the manufacture of
one of his highway mowing and
painting machines which is expect
ed to be exhibited at the Eastern
Carolina Exposition to be held in
Gokfsboro the week of April 9-14.
According to Mr. Kirkman, a num
ber of offers have come to him
from elsewhere to place this ma
chine on the market, but Smith
field citizens will be gratified to
learn that he has decided to manu
facture and distribute his product
in his native town.
Subscriptions for stock in the
corporation are now being solicit
ed at fifty dollars per share. A
number of Smithifield citizens have
signed for shares and no doubt be
fore long the machine will be plac
ed on the market in goodly num
bers. Mr. H. T. Hines of Goldsboro,
who has recently come to this city,
is assisting in the promotion of
this enterprise.
As soon as the first machine is
completed, practical demonstrations
on the streets, highways, bridges,
etc., in this section will be made.
Those who have seen the first
model seem confident that it will
do all that its promoters claim.
Work is now going forward on the
first machine.

and Literary departments of the
Woman’s club met on Wednesday
evening at the home of Mrs. H.
M. Grizzard with Mrs. Grizzard,
Mrs. Tony Barnes, and1 Mrs. E.
V. Neighbors as hostesses.
The program for the evening in
cluded a study of the composers,
Frank Schubert and Stephen C.
Foster, and the Atlantic Monthly
Prize Novel, “Jalna,” by Mazo de
la Roche. A sketch"* of Schubert’s
life by Miss Lenora Patterson was
followed by two of his composi
tions—“Fragments” from “The Un
finished Symphony,” and “Scherzo
in B Flat,” arranged in duet form—
played by Misses Doris Hooks and
Grace Watson. Miss Eloise Grady
rendered Schubert’s “Serenade” on
the violin, accompanied at the
piano by Miss Elsie Grady.
A most excellent review of
“Jalna” was given by Mrs. E. V.
Neighbors. A discussion of this
book followed led by Mrs. G. T.
Whitley.
A splendid paper on Stephen C.
Foster, noted composer and song
writer, written by Miss Eleanor
Hatcher was read iby Miss Frances
Woodhouse. Two of his songs, “Old
Folks at Home,” his masterpiece,
and “Old Black Joe,” which has
achieved wide popularity, were
sung as duets by Messrs. Tony
,Barnes and E. V. Neighbors,
“Massa’s in the Cold Ground” was
given as a solo by Mr. S. R. Cot
ton. A series of questions testing
the familiarity with musical terms
asked by Mrs. Grizzard was an in
teresting feature.
At the conclusion of the progran

Tihe bride was never more at- j
tractive as she appeared in a go
ing away costume of biege flat i

about the pearls that may be
found in an oyster! Here’s a case
of a diamond discovered in peas.
After eating canned peas, the
two-year-old son of J. Spear be

OLD BATTLEGROUND
Mrs. W. M. Sanders, Sr., who
is chairman of the Bentonville
Battleground Committee of the
U. D. C., spent Saturday at the
Bentonville gattleground where
she had a number of shrubs
planted. The Lindley Nur
sery of Greensboro had present
ed her with between fifty and
one hundred blooming* shrubs to
be placed in the cemetery at the
old battlefield, and Mr. Lionel
Weil of Goldsboro had sent six
long leaf pines to be used there.
Three of these were set in the
cemetery and three on the lot
where the memorial tablet was
placed last fall. The Continental
Plant company has promised to
send Mrs. Sanders several
shrubs to be planted around the
marker.
These plants are appreciated
by Mrs. Sanders and all who are
interested in the old battle
ground, and they will do much
to beautify this historic spot.
Hon. Tom C. Avera
At Baptist Church
Local Church Expects To Or
ganize Men’s Brotherhood
In the Near Future
-♦
Last Sunday morning was a me- 1
m or able occasion for the Smith- !
field Baptist church, when Hon. :
Tom A. Avera, of Rocky Mount,:
addressed an unusually large con-!
gregation at 11 o’clock, the occas
ion being mission day in the Sun
day school and a church rally look- j
ing to the organization of a Men’s
Brotherhood. The Sunday school
had observed the month of March
as missionary month, the classes
each Sunday giving part of their
session to training for a contest in
missionary information given be
for the school the last Sunday in
the month. It proved to be an in
teresting program, the school b*
ing divided into two sections, which '
competed in answering questions on
the mission fields and general work
of the mission boards of the de
nomination. Several of the boys
also made addresses aiming to give
a bird’s eye view of the present
situation in the mission work of
the denomination in all lands, the
speakers being Trent V. Hunter,
John A. Wallace, and S. L. Mor
gan, Jr. The offering for Home and
Foreign Missions in the Sunday
school amounted to $150.48.
The address of Mr. Avera was
considered one of the best heard
in the church in a long time. He
referred in a pleasing way to his
associations with this community
and the local Baptist church, stat
ing that his parents were convert
ed and baptized into the fellowship
of this church, he being related to
a number of families in this com
munity. As teacher of a class of
300 men in Rocky Mount, he is de
clared to have more influence for
good over the men of Rocky Mount
than any other man in the city. His
address was directed especially to
men, and dealt with Christ as the
model for men, and emphasized the
duty of men to put the same busi
ness energy into the work of the
church that they put in their busi
ness and in their service clubs. He
declared that he is a club man, but
that men make a great mistake
when they put more money into
.their clubs than they would think
of doing into their church, as he
said is often the case.
The church expects to organize
a Men’s Brotherhood shortly, this
being the name given to the organ
ization of men in the Southern Bap
tist Convention.

PROGRAM AT SCHOOL
WELL ATTENDED
The physical program given at
the school auditorium Friday eve
ning by the first three grades was
enjoyed by a very large crowd. Old
commencement days were brought
to mind when it was found that
numbers were unable to get seats
in the large auditorium.
Each room under the direction
of the teacher put on two or three
numbers, all of which showed thor
ough training and showed the kind
of physical education that is being
carried on in the primary depart
ment.
A number which everybody es
pecially enjoyed was the orchestra
composed of children of the first
grade who are in Miss Eunice Har
ris’s room. Little Miss Anne Abell
was the efficient director. This
number was added by special re
quest after the regular physical
education program had tyeen ar
ranged.

into the village postoffice that also 1
was the general store.
“Anything for me?” he inquired j
of the postmaster. The other raked'
over a few parcels and letters, but ■
found nothing.
“Don’t see nothing,” he said.'
“Did you expect something?”
“Yes,” answered the farmer. “I
was expecting a card from Aunt
Jenny, tellin’ me when she’s com-!
in’.”
“Hannah,” called the postmaster
to his wife, “seen a card from Mr.
Jenkins’ Aunt Jenny?”
“Yes,” came the prompt answer.
“She's coming down Tuesday.”
What Many Would Like To Know
A man read in the paper that he
was dead. He called up a friend
and said: “Jim, did you know I
was dead?” Jim replied: “No,
where are you talking from?”
Prude: “I don’t believe in petting
on general principles.”
Rude: “Dam right! But did you

Tom: “Say, did you ever kiss a
girl in a quiet spot?”
Bill: “Yes, but the spot was
only quiet while I was kissing it.
Two Hurt In
Auto Accident

C. A. Utley and a Negro Wo

Ford Coupe and Truck
Collide
I An automobile accident occurred
here yesterday morning about
eight o’clock at the intersection
of Market and Fifth streets, when
a Ford coupe driven by Matthew
Bryant, colored, and a truck driven
by Frank Hart, collided. C. A.
Utley, a local blacksmith, was
-riding with Hart and was thrown
from the truck to the pavement.
It is thought his head struck the
curbstone. Utley was taken to the
hospital here where his wounds
were attended to. He was later
carried1 to hisi home where he is
confined to his bed. He seemed to
be bruised considerably about the
chest.
A colored woman, whose name
was not ascertained, was riding
with Bryant and was also slightly
hurt when the two vehicles ran to
gether. She is in bed- at her home
here.
Bryant’s Ford coupe and the
truck, which belongs to Mr. Dal
Thompson, were both somewhat
damaged.
SUCCESS WITH CORN
DEPENDS ON PREPARATION
RALEIGH, March 26.—The se
cret of success in corn growing de
pends on careful land preparation
before planting.
“With the increase of livestock
on all farms and the attention good
farmers are giving to diversifica
tion of crops in the state at this
time, an adequate supply of corn
is essential,” says C. R. Hudson,
of the farm demonstration depart
ment at State College. “Corn is one
of our most valuable crops and
nulling is of more importance with
it than thorough plowing, careful
disking and adequate harrowing
before planting. Often, it is wise
to disk the land before plowing so
that it will not plow up in clods.
In any event, it should be disked
and harrowed immediately after
plowing and before the moisture
dries out.”
A good, mellow seed bed should
be prepared at the expense of early
planting, if necessary, states Mr.
Hudson.. Good corn growlers know
the importance of this.
The North Carolina Experiment
Station advises the use of from 400
to 500 pounds of a high grade fer
tilizer in a divided application if
the crop is not to be top-dressed
with an application of nitrate^of
soda. If the soda is to be used, then
all the other fertilizer might be
put in under the corn before plant
ing. The soda should be applied
when the corn is about knee high
and before it bunches to tftssel. A
good application is recommended.
Mr. Hudson advises early culti
vation w'ith the use of the harrow
or w'eeder. This destroys the early
growth of weeds and grass and
saves moisture. As the corn grows
and the roots develop, it is unwnse
to cultivate deeply because the
tender rootlets are found near the
surface.
Several varieties of corn are rec
ommended for the different sec
tions. Mr. Hudson states that
Weekley’s Improved, Southern
Beauty, Latham’s Double and Jar
vis Golden are best for the pied
mont section, while Latham’s Dou
ble, Indian Chie and Biggs’s Pro
lific, in the order named, are adapt
ed to the coastal plain.

Wants Reduction
Of Corporate Tax
—♦—
John E. Edgerton, President
National Association Man
ufacturers, Asks Relief
That Will Aid Business
NEW YORK, March 26.—In an
open letter made public today to
President Coolidge and to the
members of Congress, John E.
Edgerton, president of the Nation
al Association of Manufacturers,
urges the passage immediately of
a corporate tax reduction measure
on the basis already suggested by
the competent government author
ities, holding that the excess in
the income tax returns over last
year justifies a sane and: reason
able relief to the only body of tax
payers that has had its assess
ments increased in the face of re
ductions for all others.
Mr. Edgerton pleads with Con
gress to adjourn politics for the
moment and grant the relief; takes
to task those who are making a
political football of the issue, and
scores those business men who are
helping to block reduction by clam
oring for an amount far in excess
of what the country can safely as
sume. '
Mr. Edgerton’s letter to Presi
dent Coolidge and the members of
Congress follows:
“Hon. Calvin Coolidge,
“President of the United States,
Washington.
“My dear Mr. President:
“Having traveled the breadth of
the country from coast to coast
within the last five weeks, and hav
ing talked to and with thousands
of men in the manufacturing in
dustries and various other lines of
business, I believe I can truly say
that the great majority of these
citizens are looking to you and to
Congress for some measure of
corporate income tax reduction at
this session.
Three months ago there seemed
to be little division of opinion in
Congress that the business of the
country should receive the benefit
of a reduction in income taxes,
which preliminary reports indicat
ed would show* an excess over last
year’s returns. Now that we are
certain of that excess, we seem
to face a chaotic situation in Wash
ington, brought about on the one
hand by those who are seeking to
make a political football of the
problem, and on the other by those
who, knowing some reduction is
right and due, are confusing and
endangering the issue be clamor
ing for an amount out of all pro
portion to what the country can
safely stand. And wre have another
group that believes we should have
the conservative reduction of one
and one half per cent determined
by those government authorities
most able to judge; and still an
other group that would have no
reduction at all.
The National Association of
Manufacturers is a non-partisan
body. It carries no brief for any
presidential candidate of either
party. It is concerned fundamental
ly and primarily in the industries of
the nation and what affects them.
It has thousands of corporations in
its membership and several million
employes who are dependent upon
the continued operation of those
industries. The corporations are the
only class of taxpayers that have
had their taxes increased (raised up
to 13Ms per cent), while all others
have received reductions. Ninety
per cent of all the business of the
