The judges came from the Wo man’s club of Smithfield. If You Go To Sunday School— If you go to Sunday school, you flifaVo no doubt been impressed by tho beauty of the closing books of the Old Testament as studied in recent .months. It is a fitting time therefore (to reprint what Zephi.no Humphrey wrote some time ago in tlio * Saturday Review of Litera ture’: ‘‘There is no poetry in any lit erature to compare with parts of Isaiah and Ezekiel. It thorn lets Hike the sea, it chants like winds over [mountains, it burns, it mushes, lit is iso tremendous that the (reader (feels all but annihilat ed by it, yet, having suffered it, J knows Moiseif 4o be three times' tho man he was before. Isaiah and Ezekiel explored the utmost reaches of thoir own. spirits ami more nearly tho utmost of God’s than any other human being save only him who was to come after them. “Isaiah is indubitably the mont beautiful book of the Old Testa ment. Ini fact, there is so much Eilieer Christianity in its second part that it comes near being: the onost beautiful book in the world. Job is tremendous. The Songs of Solomon are exquisite and Eccles iastes makes, perhaps, the most intimate appeal to a modern read er of all the Bible books. The Psalms are the most poignant ly rics ever written. Parts of LzcKiel and the minor prophets' are nuv/ nnficent. '‘But there ts one .part 01 me) Bible the beauty of which is hard to put into words because, pre cisely, it has notilung to do wit!) words. It is the transitional si lence that 'lies between the two Testaments: like the hush of ebb tide, like the dying away of n storm, like the pause which Elijah must 'have felt between the earth, quake, wind, and fire, and the still small voice. Yet it is not a terrible silence. As the awed listener waits on it, he is almost lalt once aware of a new spirit brooding on the waters, a new theme adumbrating its way into lutteranee.” utterance.”—'Progressive Farmer. Impossible. "That's what I call getting out of a tight place," said the world traveler as his train: pull ed cut of Edinburg.

I Pension Checks | To Old Soldiers Only 19 Confederate Veterans Now Living in Johnston County; 35 Last Year Re ceived Checks The Clerk of the Court has received the pension checks for the old Confederate soldiers and •widows of Confederate soldiers in Johnston county and they aie now being: distributed to tne owners.

GOOD WOOD SHED IS NEEDED ON FA KM j Because about onclialf the weight | of freshly cut wood is water. I every farm needs a good wo or. ■died under which the fuel woud may dry and season before being | used in the home. A good wood shod on ever} farm will mean timber conserva tion and less labor expended in cutting and preparing the annual wood supply/' says R. W. Grab ber, extension forester at Sratc College. “Dry well seasoned wood is an efficient fuel. It will light-| cn the work of the house-wife and will pay liberal dividends to the whole family in terms of greater comfort and happiness. The more water there is in wood, the less heart, it will throw off, because considerable of the heat energy is used to boil the water and change it to steam.” As a basis for this argument, Mr. Graeber uses figures recently secured from investigations in an- j other state. These figures show that when first cut, about one half the weight of the wood is water. A cord of red oak, when freshly cut weighs about 5,COO pounds or about 2Vz tons. About one-half of this is water. Thus is seen the need ot drying or season ing before such wood is needed. I During the first six months, if. the wood is piled in loose stacks, j in the open where the sun and j rain can work on it, the timber j will lose about *10 per cent of its i water content. A cord of red c*.ik, therefore after six months of i f ficient seasoning would contam about 1,500 pounds of water. At the end of the year, if st >red properly under shelter, it would still contain about 1,000 pounds of water. But wood piled in the open, absorbs a largo amount of water every rainy liay. The water con tent of red oak wood during a rainy spell may go as high as 1,500 pounds to the cord, says Mr. Gracbcr. But wood stored under Cover, in loose piles, will show small change in water content after it U once dry. Grand Jury Makes Report To Court Judge iiarnhill Orders Copy of Report Sent to Road Force, County Commission ers and to Next Grand Jury The Grand Jury finished its >work last week and through its foreman, S. P.. Wood, made a ie ]H»nt to the court, a copy of which report Judge Barnhill or utemi to dc sent to the road I force, to the board of county corr j missloners, and to the Grand Jury I which shall be selected at the March term of court. This repvr.t i*s as follows: “We beg to report that we have examined the offices, books and records of the clerk of the court, sheriff, auditor, treasurer, tax collector, register of deeds, and county board of education, and so far as we could ascertain, through the limited examination, we were able to make, they are in •proper shape. We find that all the county elective officers are bonded in what we believe to be reliable bonding companies, in amounts we believe reasonably sufficient to protect the interest of the I county. We also find that all the county buildings are covered by insurance in amounts we believe ample to reasonably protect the interest of the county, from the clerk of the court set We attach hereto a statement ting forth that all the justices of the peace of the county and all mayors of the town have filed their reports according to law. We are informed, however, that some of the justices of the peace arc trying, accepting cost and i disposing of cases over which they have no jurisdiction, and we recommend that the proper officer of the court be instructed to confer with the clerk of the court relative to this, and take what action that in his judg ment is necessary. We find that the tax books for the year 15)21) have been turned over to the tax collector, without a settlement having been made by him, for the taxes for the year 15)2#, and we recommend such action in this as the court may see fit 'to take. From a statement furnished us from the clerk of the court we find four thousand dollars worth uncollected bonds, and we recom mend <that every effort bo put; foi-th to collect these bonds. We find that a small amount, of orphan’s money, with the consent we are informed of the bonding company has l>een invested in stock lof a private corporation. This we believe is a bad prece dent, and iwc recommend that no orphan’s or any other special ■trust money, be invested in ar.y stock, but that it bo deposited on .interest, in some bank that will properly secure the same, or invested in bonds of the United States Government or the State of Nor th Oasrolina. We visited all the larger and most important school buildings in the county, and find the • uild ings, cither than a few minor 10 pairs needed to the oofs, in good condition and the grounds fairly well kept, except in two places— Brogden and Four Oakis. At Four Oaks, tih.e largest school in the rounty, the water supply is in sufficient and the sewerage plant is entirely too small. At Brod L?en the water puimp is* either out of repair, or worn out. The con dition at Fouil* Oaks we are in formed, has (been reported by a previous grand jury. We recom mend the repair of the pump a: Brodgen, if same can be satis factorily clone, and if not, a new .pump to be installed. At Four Oaks we visited the enlargement of the present plant ami water supply, if this can bo done and if not, a new plant and well or wells sufficient in size and capacity to take care of the situation there in a satisfactory manner. We have visited the county home and found same in good condition, and well kept, and the inmates well cared for and as I "happy and contented as could |reasonably be expected in their | Prominent Benson Citizen Passes Mr. J.

Mr. Boone came from Clayton 'to Benson forty years ago and entered the mercantile business soon after coming here and re mained in this business ' intil about three years ago when his health began to fail. He had one of the best businesses in this sec tion. In the conduct of his easi ness he won the confidence of ev ery one, both in puiblic and pri vate life. He held a number of .own and county positions of trust nd at no time did he ever 'e ray the confidence his friends an<l the public reposed in him. In the passing of Mr. Boone, Benson and Johnston county Iorcs one of its most valuable and wor thy citizens. His strength of character, example of right liv ing and thinking made of 1 im one of the outstanding figures in the life of the community and his memory will be cherished by his innumerable friends throughout this section. Friends of Mr. I. O. Farmer sympathize with him in the loss of his brother, L. L. Farmer, who died in Tifton, Ga., where he was connected with the A. C. L. railway.

Miss Velma Talton, a member of the school faculty, entertained at her home in Selima Saturday evening with, six tables of bridge in honor of her week end guo:li, Misses Bessie Dean and Louise Phelps, also members of the fac ulty. .•ondition. The courthouse needs soanc re pairs to the plastering’, and seme of the walls of the jail. We visited the jail and find the same to be dirty and unsanitary, and we recommend that all ac cumulation of trash an<] old dis carded bedding be removed and burned, and the entire place be given a good scrubbing. The colored convict camp near, Benson we found in good condi- j tion. We recommend for the camp near Smithfiold a stove of suf ficient size to warm the building, that all the blankets and ot'un covering be washed, a part of the old mattresses destroyed, and re placed with new ones, that the walls be either whitewashed or painted and the open unprotected service toilet within ten or twelve feet of the camp, uo maue 10 comply with the State Sanitary Laws. For the camp near Kenly, wi recommend new curtains for both stockades, a stove and pipe tor each, eighteen new mattresses for No. 2, and six for No. 1, and the old mattresses burned. Twen ty-one pillows and foatty-two pil low slips' to be divided between the two, a pair .of cheap socks for each convict every two weeks, and that sick convict in this cairn p lie returned to jail at .Smithfiold, and put under care of county health officer,” i | Items Of Interest In Town Kenly i ——— : Woman's Club Holds Impor tant Meeting; “Childhood ! and Youth Week” Observed KKN’iLV, Dec. 1G.—The Dccem jher meeting of the Womans club was held at the home of Mrs. Ii.
