Wounds Inflicted by Brai
Massengill in Meadov
Township Wednesday Nigh
Brad Massengill, a white
mail of Meadow township,
reported here at two o'clock
. last night and surrendered
* himself to Sheriff A. .1. Fitz
gerald, stating that he had
been in a severe fight with O.
H. Barefoot, a former deputy
sheriff of Johnston county
and had left Barefoot in a
badly wounded condition.
About dark Wednesday night
Massengill was discovered lurk
ing about Barefoot's barn. There
was bad blood between the two
men. and Barefoot went out and
asked Massengill why he was
there. Massengill told him that
he was out looking about and
that he had some other men out
looking around also. Other words
followed and the two men had an
encounter about two hundred
yards from the place where Mas
sengill was first discovered. Mas
sengill came out of the assault,
unharmed but Barefoot is prob
ably fatally wounded. He has a
severe hole in one of the tem
ples and a bad knife gash across
the face. Early yesterday morn
in* he had not regained con
sciousness.
A report of the assault was
soon made and the sheriff and
several of his deputies went in
search of Massengill but he suc
cessfully evaded arrest and reach
ed the county seat before any of
tHe officers could find him.
Massengill has been in court
on various charges and on last
Christmas, Barefoot with other
officer's searched Massengill’s
home for liquor and a small
quantity was found. He has been
in a bad temper with Barefoot
since that time, and this is the
cause of the attack Wednesday
night.

CO. SCHOOL MEN
HEAR DR. POTEAT
Wake Forest Latin Professor
Comments On Educational
System; Essay Contest,
Spelling Match, Basket Ball
Tournament Scheduled
Twenty or more school men in
Johnston county gave close at
tention to Dr. Hubert M. Poteat,
of the Latin department of Wake
Forest College, who was invited
to speak at the monthly meeting
of school principals held here on
Tuesday evening in the Woman’s
club room.
Not all of the group agreed
with everything Dr. Poteat said
in his address, as was evidenced
in the round-table discussion
which followed, nor could Dr.
Poteat answer satisfactorily some
of the questions asked, but in the
main the school men agreed with
the ideas presented by the speak
er of the evening.
Dr. Poteat pointed out three,
what he considers, perilous fac
tors in the educational system:
pedagogical irresponsibility; too
much mechanics; and the grow
ing demand for training for ef
ficiency. In developing the last
point, he paid his respects to vo
cational education, which he
thinks should be given in trade
schools and not in high schools.
He excepted home economics and
possibly agriculture in agricultur
al communities, but for teaching
boys to be tinners, or automobile
mechanics, or electricians in high
school, he has little use. He is
j strong for teaching the funda
I mental subjects, and teaching
I them well, allowing vocational
! training only when pupils have
shown themselves incapable of
taking in the fundamental sub
jects. He thinks to substitute easy
courses for the harder basic
courses tends to make mental
weaklings.
ftiuT Liltf uuuress oi me ^ve
iling, Mr. G. T. Whitley, presi
dent of the school men’s organi
zation. called for reports of com
mittees which had been appoint
ed previously. It was announced
that a county-wide public pro
gram will be held some time in
the near future at the courthouse
in which ',he various schools will
compete in an essay contest, an
old time spelling match, and in a
poster contest. The high school,
grammar grades, and primary
(departments of the various
| schools will be represented on
the program and attractive cash
! awards will be made for superioi
(work. The essay and poster con
gest will be in line with the gov

AND THE DOG CAME
BACK

The most ardent booster
.! of the Herald’s classified ad
| department is perhaps W. M.

. I dog Monday afternoon and
promptly inserted an ad in
i the Herald which came out

while. Mr. Woody was on the
■ i telephone telling the Herald

I ed as to whether he was

the old that even a dog who

levied against their real estate at
unreasonable and inflated val
ues:
“And whereas. His Excellency.
O. Max Gardner, Governor of
North Carolina, is clothed with
the power under the constitution
and laws of the state of North
Carolina, to call a special session

“Now therefore, be it resolved
by the board of county commis
sioners of Johnston county, in

that said board in the utmost
good does hereby join in the re

i receive.

COMMITTEE FOR’
BEST TYPES ONLY
New Standardization Com
j niittee Recommends Tha
Only Rest Varieties of Cot
ton and Only Cerrtifiec
I Seed Re Used
j The Cotton Standardizatior
Committee, which was appointee
| to plan and recommend for the
i standardization of cotton varie
j ties in Johnston county, met Iasi
; Saturday afternoon and the fol
; lowing is their recommendation:
j "We recommend that farmers
i of Johnston county plant only
j those varieties of cotton that will
l staple from an inch to an inch
jand one-sixteenth. Since the
I Coker and Cleveland varieties of
| cotton 884 and No. 5 have al
ready become widely established
in this county, and further since
these varieties have yielded just
as well or better than others in
all local tests, we recommend
these two varieties. However, to
those farmers who already have
varieties other than the above,
which are yielding w’ell and have
an inch or better staple, we do
not recommend an entire change
this year, but to continue to grow'
the same until that time it is ad
vi&uuje iu maKe a cnange.
“In adopting these varieties of
inch and better staple fanners
are cautioned to be careful in
planting and ginning, so as not
to get these varieties mixed with
any others. If you have a cotton
of a good variety, ask the ginner
to drop the seed roll and use ev
ery effort to avoid mixing.
“This committee is anxious to
have the full cooperation of the
cotton ginners in helping to keep
from mixing varieties at the gin.
“This committee also recom
mends that those men buying
seed for planting this year inso
far as possible to buy seed certi
fied by the North Carolina Crop
Improvement Association, or to
buy seed direct from a reliable
breeder. Those farmers buying
seed direct from the breeder are
urged to have those seed inspect
ed and certified by the North
Carolina Crop Improvement As
sociation wherever possible so
that they in turn will be able
to sell certified seed to other
farmers next year.”
The following agencies will be
glad to help any farmer in se
curing planting seed of the varie
ties mentioned above:
J. B. Slack, county agent,
Smithfield. N. C.; J. P. Shaw.
Agricultural teacher, Benson: J.
A. Smith, field representative of
Nc: h Carolina Cotton Associa
tion. Smithfield.
These men will also be glad to
give instructions on handling the
cotton crop so as to get the seed i
certified by the North Carolina
Crop Improvement Association
wherever the planting seed are
bought direct from a breeder of
recognized standing this year.
MORE LIVESTOCK
NEEDED ON FARMS
A growing demand for more
milk, butter, beef and poultry
makes it absolutely necessary
that farmers in North Carolina
increase their livestock production
if they continue to “live at
home.”
“The rapidly increasing urban
population has brought to the
farm door the opportunity of
buying those things that at one
time were of necessity produced
on the farm.” says A. C. Kimrey,
dairy extension specialist at State
College, “but it is also increasing
the demand for all kinds of live
stock products. In neglecting to
increase his dairy herd and poul
try flocks the farmer is neglecting
a wonderful opportunity to not
ionly produce a godo living but
also make a good income from
the farm.”
In the early days of our his
tory. states Mr. Kimrey. when
the markets were few and far
apart it was not only good busi
ness but a necessity to produce
everything needed on the farm.
This naturally led to the produc
tion of crops that were adapted
to slow marketing such as cotton,
tobacco and grain. But now. he
states, it is not only necessary
to produce the things needed on
the farm but also to produce
those things most in demand at
the nearest market which, in
most cases, is at the front door
The constant demand today h
for food products from livestock
According to Mr. Kimrey. live
stock. pasture and feed crops ir
reasonable proportions will enable
eveitfr' farmer in North Caroline
to utilize a maximum percent oJ
his acreage and will at the sam<
time, produce a decent living anc
a marketable surplus of livestocl
' products. __

farmer of Meadow township, is the winner not only ih Johnston
county five-acre contest, but he has also been adjudged by the At

railroad sponsored during the pas, year. Mr. Lee produced 107 14
bushels of corn per acre, or a total of 535.7 bushels for the five
acres, at an average cost of 29.5 cents per bushel. This contest as
well as the county contest in which Mr. Lee won first prize of $25
was conducted under the supervision of the county farm agent’
Mr. J. B. Slack.
PROF. W.Y. CHEN
PRINCETON CHURCH
Says China Reaching Out For
Best of All Civilizations;
Want Missionaries; Large
Crowd Hears Mr. Chen
PRINCETON, Feb. 3.—Profes
sor W. Y. Chen of Foochow,
China, spoke in Princeton Meth
odist Church last night to the
largest congregation ever to as
semble in this church. Although
extra seats were brought in the
church, a number were turned
away for lack of seats.
Three principal thoughts set
forth by Mr. Chen: First, he
pointed out some of the more im
portant things China has con
tributed toward the progress of
civilization, such as removable
type for the printing industry,
the mariner’s compass, and gun
powder. Second, that China whose
history reaches back for 50 cen
turies is now reaching out for
the best of other civilizations,
especially that which America
has to offer. In support of this
statement he said that 300 Chi
nese students come to the United
States every year to study in
American colleges and universi
ties. Mr. Chen spoke with much
appreciation for what this gov
ernment had done in making it
possible for 150 of these 300 stu
dents to come to America by re
turning the Boxer Indemnity
Fund to the Chinese government,
the money to be used to send
Chinese students to America.
There are 3,500. Chinese students
in America today, and they are
having no small influence upon
their own people as they return
to China, he declared. If the best
of American life is shared with
them here, they will in turn take
the best back to China. In the
third place, Mr. Chen then tried
to show that even though China
has been troubled with much in
ternal strife during the past few
years, and even though the ris
ing spirit of nationalism in China
has caused the Chinese Chris
tians to demand more voice in
the administration of the affairs
of the church, nevertheless, China
still wants missionaries, he said,
for they are “the best mission
aries that have ever been sent
to China.”
Mr. Chen also spoke in Fel
lowship Methodist church this
morning at 11 o’clock.
Mr. Chen is to receive the Ph.D
degree from Duke University next
June. He is an B. A. and M. A
graduate of Syracuse University
in New York in 1917 and 1918
respectively. Then he returned tc
China and served as professoi
of philosophy until 1927 in Fu
kien Union University, Foochow
China, after which he returnee
to America and entered Duke Un
iversity. He spent the winter o
i928-29 studying in England ant
France and Germany.
