LABOR SAYS 50-50—
OVER THE SAHARA SAND—
WHAT MAN ( AN DO—
If you know HOW, you can do
business anywhere. Sears-Roebuck,
under its new president, General
Wood, plans stores all over this
country and in foreign countries,
with constant expansion.
The Woolworth stores, growing
amazingly, now have eighteen
stores in Germany, called 25 and
50 pfennig stores, the equivalent
of 5 and 10 cents.
American business understands
its business. And when it deals in
foreign countries it buys its goods
in the foreign countries, thus
keeping everybody happy while
making profits.
On Saturday the executive com
mittee of the American Federation
of Labor will meet at Atlantic
City and decide, probably not to
take sides in the national eam
Both national candiates are all
right, says Labor.
That is sensible. Labor, race and
religion should be kept out of pol
itics. Besides, organized labor can
not deliver its men, and does not
help itself by a declaration with
no result. Mr. Green, head of the
federation, is a wise American.
Miss Katherine I^ocke, ctf
Youngstown, Ohio, traveled miles
and miles over the sand of Sahara
thinking the sun would bring back
her voice that she lost. IT DID.
She visited the Gloul of Mara
kesh, if you know who he is, in a
dwelling .'1,000 years old in the At
las Mountains. The Gloul probably
knows as little about us as wre
know about him.
More interesting to many Am
ericans, Miss l/ocke saw at Tim
buktu, pens where American slav
ers once bought slaves from na
tive chiefs.
Young men, playing jazz music
in night clubs now, wouid be
amazed to see these pens where
their ancestors once stopped on
the wray to America. They would
bless the slave traders that brought
the ancestors here. We never know
what is for our good.
John Henry Meat's and Charles
B. D. Col Iyer have beaten the
“Around the world record” by sev
eral days.
They finished their journey at
Miller Field, Staten Island, in
23 days.
When Jules Verne wrote his
“Around tin* World in Eighty
Days” men said it was an inter
esting story, but could never be
done. Now it IS done, in twenty
three days. And, in years to come,
it will be done in twenty-four
hours.
Man is a very able creature, a
real credit to his Maker. What he
can IMAGINE, he can DO.

of happy, successful life, told hoi

! torrent of rain delayed our
leaving the custom’s, office at Ni
agara for half an hour. The good
natured official borrowed my rain
coat in order to help me off the
sooner, and went through the tor
rent to get the number of my car.
Hut it now seemed" impossible to
be on, time in Toronto at the
opening of the Baptist World Al
liance. It is a wonderful drive of
nearly 100 miles round the west
end of Lake Ontario, past the
splendid city of Hamilton. Much
depends on arrival by 2:30 Sat
urday afternoon, for the roll call
-I the nations began the program,
and nothing was to be more in
teresting in the entire program.
Hut in spite of our best efforts,
with the mere snatching of a lunch
and eating it as we drove, we miss
ed the first half-hour of the pro
gram, though we did hear most of
the roll call; for 56 nations were
represented among the 7,000 del
egates at the opening session.
First, a little introduction to the
city of Toronto and the place of
meeting. Toronto is a great city of
7"0,000, stretching for 10 miles
r.long the beautiful shore of On
tario Lake. It is the capital of
the great province of Ontario, and
the Parliament buildings are one
of the attractions of the city. Here
also is the University of Toronto,
with its 0,000 students, and Mc
t'aster University, the great Bap
tist college of Canada, ■which is
M)on to move to Hamilton to re
build on a site valued at $2,000,000
presented by the city and by the
friends of the institution.
Altogether Toronto is one of the
most admirable cities on the Am
erican continent. This seemed the
impression of all visitors. We
doubted whether any city in the
world has a people of a finer type
intellectually, morally or religious
ly. I do not believe any city in the
United States or Europe can boast
of a Sunday so quiet and worship
ful as the Sunday we spent in To
ronto. They do not print Sunday
newspapers, nor turn the d-ay into
a day of frivolity and pleasure
rilling. 1 read in the Toronto Globe
a letter from a visitor from some
distant land expressing his delight
at such a quiet, worshipful Sun
day as he had never seen in any
other country. Reverence for law
and order was clearly above that
felt in any other city 1 have known.
The Toronto policeman inspires
regard for.law and decency. The
police force seemed to me entire
ly unique. The policeman is not a
cop; uniformly he is a gentleman.
11c has an intellect, a polish, and
an air of gentility about him. He
is a handsome man, always in a
handsome new uniform. To respect
him is easy.
Arriving in ioronto vve were di
rected t*. drive for several miles
along the Grand Boulevard round
the lake until we reached the Ex
hibition Buildings—“we couldn’t
miss them.” Several of these were
used for the meetings of the Bap
tist World Alliance. These build
ings are one of the most remark
able collections of buildings in the
world. There are now 93 great
buildings covering 350 acres. Here
for fifty years now all the pro
vinces of Canada have met from
August 24 to September 8 for their
annual National Exhibition—their
national fair. They claim that nc
exhibition in the world compares
with it. It attracts people from al
lands. Last year the attendance
exceeded 1,500,000.
Reaching the exhibition gioundh
! we found perhaps thousands o:
cars parked about several of thi

humanity from all over the world

rour Local Boys
At Short Course
Members of Meadow Iliyh
School l-H Club Spend
Profitable Week in Raleigh
Johnston county had four wide
awake boys to attend the short
course for club boys and girls at
State ( ollege last week. They were
I haddeus Johnston, Marvin John
son, Hebei* Johnson and Garland
Smith. All these boys are mem
bers of the Meadow high school
•l-H club. Mach has a defiinite ag
ricultural project at home in con
nection with his club work, which
is supervised by J. B. Slack of
Eastern Carolina Chamber of Com
merce at Benson.
On their return from Raleigh
last week, each of the boys at
tending the short course reported
a vrey pleasant as well as a prof
itable stay.
In commenting upon the short
course, Mr. Slack makes the fol
lowing statement:
1*1 yjonce in a while you will,
run up with some pessimistic fel- i
low who says that all our farms '
in North Carolina will be grown
up in weeds and brush in a few
years because all the farm boys
and girls are gradually leaving
the farm and going to the towns
and cities to work. However, if
the number of farm boys and girls
attending the .>hort course at State
( ollege last week is any indication
as to the future of North Caro
lina farms, it will be a long time
before our pessimistic brothers
will see the conditions that they
predict. For hundreds of farm
boys and girls from all over the
state attended this short course.
“In addition to having a good
time each of them learned things
that they will go back home and
put into practice, which will make
living on their respective farms a
little more profitable, easy and
pleasant for them.”
HOOD KAKMEK DOES
GOOD DEED
The Herald was the recipient
last week of about three bushels
I of tine apples from Mr. M. P. Las
| siter, of Elevation township, for
: which we return thanks.
Mr. Lassiter is one of Johnston
county's best farmers and one
who believes in diversified farm
ing. He has 85 acres in cotton, but
his seven-horse farm includes more
than cotton. He raises his food and
feedstuff and has a splendid ap
ple and peach orchard. His coun
try home has all modern conven
iences and he and his good wife
dispense hospitality in a manner
that makes their guests want to

Election Called
In Pleasant Grove
Citizens Will Note Attain On
a School Proposition On
Tuesday, Sept. 18th
Citizens of Pleasant Grove town
ship have petitioned again for an
election to provide for a high
school in Pleasant Grove. The
electin has been called for Tues
day. September 18.
this action was taken after vot
ers in the township had given the
matter serious consideration, and
it is ielt that this time the elec
tion wil he carried. A good many
who have heretofore opposed a
special tax for this purpose are
said to favor it at this time. Some
time ago a group of interested men
and women from Pleasant Grove
met in the courthouse here in the
interest of a school, but a petition
was not drawn at that time. It was
decided to hold another meeting in
the district at which more of the
patrons c«.uld be present. Accord
ingly. last week about thirty-five
men besides a number of ladies
met at the home of Mr. M. B.
I’.easant, and after talking the
matter over again, a petition was
signed asking the county commis
sioners and the board of education
to call an election to ascertain
whether the voters were in favor
ot a tax not to exceed fifty-cents
on the hundred dollars worth of
property for the purpose of equal
izing school advantages in that
district.
The territory in which the elec
tion will be held is included in the
boundaiies of Pleasant Grove
township, this being the second
school district in the county the
boundaries of which coincide ex
actly with the townships lines.
The other district is Cleveland.
The township courthouse has
been designated (as the polling
place. L. H. Stephenson has been
appointed registrar, and «L P. Mc
Gee and Archie Johnson, poll
holders.
WILL CONTINUE TO SELL
* CHEYROLETS IIEKE
Mr. B. J. Ilolleman, of the Hol
leman Motor company, states that
he has had quite a number of in
quiries as to his intentions with
reference to the service here since
becoming connected with a simi
lar business in Ralegih. Mr. Hol
loman says he will not close up
and leave his many valued custo
mers without parts and service for
their cars, and will continue with
the Chevrolet here as well as han
dle the IX* So to in Raleigh until the
Chevrolet Motor company can find
some one to buy the business out.

tempts to Eat Lunch With
Them
Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Barbour and
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Wi^s, <,f Wil

lunch. After they had spread their
lunch a bear came up and pro
ceeded to help himself to the
viands. Seeing a chain around the
bear’s neck, Mr. Barbour and Mr.
Wi ggs thought it was a tame be al
and they attempted to drive him
away, whereupon the hear turned
upon them. Managers of the filling
station came to their rescue and
took the bear into custody. They
luunu laier mat tne boar bad only
recently been captured and was

how necessary irrigation is to
