TUTTLE AN A CTIV E S U PER A N N U ATE Rev. D. H. Tuttle, who was superannuated by the North Car olina Conference two years ago, ias entered upon his -third sup erannuate year in Southfield, but luring- that time he has been far :ro«i idle. Mr. Tuttle is constant y in demand for sermons, Cor ;alks and as chairman of som nittees, and he goes the limit of mis strength in answering thes? .•alls. He is the youngest old person in this community. “Habit is a great thing,” a; :*ording to Mr. Tuttile. During all of his years as a Methodist pastor Re kept a record of h;*» work. As a superannuate, he keeps up this custom, and it is interesting to note how much re ligious work he is still doing. During the fourteen months fr>m November 1, 1928 to December 31, 1929, this “worn out” preachet preached (56 sermons, conducted 16 funerals, performed 11 mat :'.age ceremonies, baptized one person, made 1295 calls on famil ies and individuals and heir prayer services in 238 homes. !!• has given away 2495 tracts, an.; 262 religious papers and maga zines. He has sold without prof! 22 Bibles, 31 Testaments rinc Psalms, 891 new- Testaments anc ami two cent portions of the gos pel, and 303 religious books arc booklets. He has also put in son good work for the N. C.

The ieyi ‘.ration totaled 597, with *’22 voting for the school tax and 250 voting against. The Australian ha Hot did not prove o.'ftuult at all, according to those who saw the voting go ing on, though it was something now to voters of Johnston county. In the first place, the ballot it self was different from the us i?.l slips o;f paper designated “for” and “against.’' The ballot was hie size of a regular sheet, of type writer paper. On one side was the folic w i n g i nscrition: Official 'ballot m Local Scnorl Tax Election, County of Johnston, Co rinl h-Holder* Local School Tax District, December 31, 1929. John A. Narron, 'Olyurman County Board of Elections.” On the other side were print ed at the top of page instruc tions as to how to vote. Then followed a statement of the ques tion submitted. And last came the ballot with proper indications for checking. A registrar and two poll hold ers were on hand as usual, tl\e registrar being J. Willard O’Neai, and the poll holders, J. T. Strick land and Roy Barnes. In addi tion to these regular election of ficials, there were four official markers who were used only when the voter requested. These were S. B. Strickland, C. H. Carpenter, Albert Davis and D. O. Wilder. Two clerks were present to ren der any other assistance needed, these being Walter K. Eason and A. D. Atkinson, and! Norman Smith was the deputy. Six booths, one for every 100 voters registered, had been pro vided. and each voter entered a booth alone and marked his own ticket, unless he asked for help to mark i.t He could request any one of the official markers, but if no preference was designates, the registrar called on any mark er he wished. Each ballot was stubbed and before voting the stubs were cut off and placed in a different box from the bal lot. If a ballot was spoiled, the voter called for a new one but the spoiled vote was placed in a separate box and when the vote was counted every ballot was ac counted for. On the whole, the Australian system proved1 satisfactory in trie election held Tuesday. ki wants Club Meets. The Krwanis club held its reg ular weekly luncheon Thui-sd-ay at the Woman's club room. Norman Shepard, the new president of the club, presided and announced the committees for the new year. The program for the year will be un der the direction of Glenn Grier, chairman of the program com mittee. The club voted to draw up res olutions of appreciation for the ; services of Kiwanian George Ragsdale who has moved to Ral eigh. Members of the club report ed having taken Christmas pres ents to different destitute homes ! of the county. Rev. D. H. Tuttle was in charge of this benevolent work of the dub. new subscribers. Besides this purely reb*gio\s work, he has headed the I<»d Gross Roll Gall for two years and has enlisted more than a hunch1 eo each year in this worthy cause. He has headed the welfare com mittee of the Kiwanis club for i the past two Christmases, helping to carry cheer to many an un ! der-privileged person.

In addition, also, were many boxes of apples, oranges and can dies, received from various lodges in all sections of the state. Honorable R. S.
