Mr. J. T. Aycock of Wades
boro township sent several large
stalks of cotton to this office last
week which show to what extent
the crop is being damaged in
many parts of the county. The
stalks are large enough but have
very few bolls on them and are
apparently suffering from some
kind of blight. A held of cotton
like this would look well from a
distance but on closer observation
shows that the yield cannot pos
sibly be as large as it might be,
the size of the stalk being consid
ered. -Captain W. B. Smith, one of
the most popular railroad men
who has ever lived in Wadesboro,
has resigned bis position as agent
for the Atlantic Coast Line here.
Mr. Ben F. Biggs an old Wades

for the present and will probably
succeed Mr. Smith. It is of in

who has been in the service of the
company for the longest period,
has the option of accepting the
position if he wishes it.

finally went around in front of its
head, when the mule made a sud
den and vicious attack on him,
seizing the bottom of his foot and
biting half of it off. The mule
seemed to relish the human flesh
and swallowed it with appareut
unconcern. Allen came at once
to town and had his wound dress

Place. The armies were gath
ered at Ephes-dammim. The
scene of the battle was fourteen
miles southwest of Jerusalem.
Since the last lesson. Saul's
evil and moody temper grew until
it came to toe border of insanity.
One of his servants suggested that
music would prooaDiy nave a
a a m

mended as a skillful player upon
the harp and he is
thereupon
brought to the king's palace and
pleases the moody king with his
music.
THE LESSON STORY
One of the most familiar of old
testament incidents, the armies
a a a a a mi
of Israel in battle array confront
the Philistines. The Israelites
are encamped upon one mountain

offers to meet individual combat
one from the army of Israel. The
champion offers to leave the result
of the battle entirely to this mdi
vidual combat. Saul is dismayed
and his army greatly distressed.
At this time, David the shepherd
lad, a young man of ruddy coun
tenance and slender statute comes
to the camp, bringing refresh
ments from home for his brothers.
He hears the defiance of the Phil
istine and inquires as to the mean-
. a .
ing. ms brotner rebukes mm but
the Shepherd continues and his
words are told the king, who sends
for him. To the king, David of
fers himself as a champion, willing
to meet the Philistine. Saul would
refuse to allow him to go out in
battle "thou art but a youth."
David tells of experiences as a
shepherd and remarked, "God will
deliver me out of the hand of this
Philistine," and Sau! said, "Go
and the Lord be with thee." Da
vid tries the armor and discards
it. With his sling and his faith
in God he goes forth to the com
bat. Both armies watch from the
hilis. It is the supreme moment
Notice the combatants. One tow
ers nign, ciotned in tried armor,
with sword and spear. The other,
a . a a a
a young man, clean, beautiful and
with the shepherd's cloak. No
sword, no spear, no armor. One
is haughty and sneers. The other
a1 ' 1 1 .
witb simple but strong faith is
calmly courageous. It is faith
versus force and faith wins. One
swing of the shepherd's arm and
the battle is won. Philistines
flee. Israel pursues. David goes
to the palace of King Saul and
behaves himself wisely."
LESSON TRUTHS
The battle was the Lord's
and
He guides the stone
from
the
shepherd's sling.
"One struggle of might and tbe giant
of tfath,
With a crash like the oak in the hurri
cane's path,
And the clangor of arms. Tts of hosts in
a fray,
At the feet of the stripling of Ephratah
lay."
There is a constant personal
conflict on in this present world.
The giant of evil faces the man.
Xhe st weapon is the
sword of
tua un . i n
t."

evil as when Christ fought the

David did not despise means.
He used all his talents, and genius

Why He Lost His Friends
(Success Magazine)
He was always wounding their
feelings, making sarcastic or fun
ny remarks at their expense.
He was cold and reserved in his
manner, cranky, pessimistic.
He was suspicious of everybody.
He never threw the doors of
his heart wide open to people, or
took them into his confidence.
He was always ready to receive
assistance from his friends, but
always too busy or too stingy to
assist them in their time of need.
He regarded friendship as a
luxury to be enjoyed, instead of
an opportunity for service.
He never learned that implicit.
generous trust is the very founda
tion stone of friendship.
He never thought it worth
while to spend time in keeping up,
his friendships.
He did not realize that friend
ship will not thrive oh sentiment
alone; that there must be service
t) nourish it.
He did not know the value of
thoughtfulness in little things.
He borrowed money from them.
He never hesitated to sacrifice
their reputation for hisadvantage.
He was always saying mean
things about them in their absence.
He measured them by their
ability to advance him.

one years matron of St Bartholo-
mew's hospital, London, recently
told this story at a public dinner

&ome years
ago, in one of her wards, lay a
little boy who was dying of hip
disease. He was an orphan with
only one brother; a sailor then
serving on a lintish warship in
Chinese waters. .One morning
the boy told her that he had had
such a happy night as he had.
dreamed that his brother was with
him at his bedside. When the
night nurse came to report she
said that she had had a curious
experience. When looking along
the ward during the night she had
been astonished to see a sailor in
the ward beside the boy's bed.
Resenting the intrusion, she had
gone to the bed .to inquire into the

turned down the gas and altered
the position of some plants. Af
