THE GREATEST CRIME [
OF THE 20TH CENTURY
The cilme of the century, was the
repudiation of tlm; League of Nations
by the Cnjted States Ssnate. This
crime was inspiml by political hatred.
The same principle still lives and
is manifesting itself in all the lead
ng nations of the world to the extont
that repressntatives from all parts of
the world aronowussemhled at Wash
ington as s a Disarmament Congioss.
This gret assembly should have the
solid hacking of ev«ry christian in
the universe.
Out of evsry dollar paid into out
national treasury, nine-three cents go
to pay for past was and for equipment
for future wars. Therefore every iax
payer should appeal to this represen
tative usssmbly to lay down arms the
world over. Every mother who loves
her son should pray to God to
this great court the vision of "Peace
wivEarth and Good Will to Men."
Wo must remember that "'the wai
hounds tut* I larking before tin
until that if ws stack arms, and stop
preparations that we will, be . wal
lowed up but their interest is to sell

When a good majority of the Pea
nut growers had signed a marketing
contract they thought the contract
was ended and the markets would be

and is trying to dissatisfy the I'ifr

They are harping on the salary the
Exchange is paying its managei.

pretty largo amount but it is not
near so much as many speculator'
have been making every year out of

it is likely that the farmers of Mar

ing on Saturday, November 12, for
the purpose of re-organizing the Mar
tin County Teachers Association.
After a few preliminary 'remarks
bv the County Superintendent, the
acting secretary read the minutes of
the previous meeting. Then the fol-
Jowin gofflcer; were re-elected:
Supt. A. J. Manning, President.
Mrs. W. H. Harrell, Vice-president.
Miss Eva I. Peal, secretary.
Mrs. J. L. Williams, treasurer.
The Association then chose six del
egates to represent it at the £tate
Teachers Association that will be held
in Raleigh during the Thanksgiving
holidays. Supt. M. J. Davis will rep
resent the City Superintendents, Mrs.
V\. 11. Harrell the High School teach
ers; Misses Loui.se HartsfieJd and Mil
lie Jane Roebuck the Grammar Grade
teachers and Misses KtHe Waldo and
Kstelle Crawford the primary teach
ers. It is hoped that others Hilt ge.
Mr. Manning and the superintendent
the Washington County schools wii
be able to secure a s)»eial car. It will
be a good trip for any who are in
terested.
The lteadinbg Circle work will be
conducted very differently thi* term.
The superintendents, the high school
teachers the grammar grade teachers
and the primary teachers will choose
a book to be used by each class re
spectively. The various teachers will
then make a careful study of the pre
scribed book and will at u time fixed
by the County Superintendent meet
at Williamston for the final examina
tion. This method of procedure can
be more conveniently carried out as
teachers may prepare for the exam
ination in their respective localities
and will ugt bo obliged to attend the
group meetings as heretofore requir
ed. Mr. Manning has talked with
Miss Fulghum and Mr. High smith con
cerning a proper selection of the books
to be used. Their advice was sub
mitted to the association.
Kach teacher having grammar
grade work is urged to have a spoil
ing match and to select his best »pell
er. This child is supposed to meet
in William.ston (on some date that
will be given later) to compete with
the bust spellers of the other schools
of the county. Mr. Davis ,the super
intendent of the William.-.ton schools
will con duct the latter one and will
then send the first and second beat
spellers of the county to Raleigh
where the state-wide contest will be
held.
Mr. Manning gave aicall for mem
bers for the association. Amy
member of the local branch may be
come a member of the state associa
tion if be pays the required member
ship fee of fifty cents. Forty-font of
tho fifty teachers enrolled and be
. caine members, and it is hoped thnt
other teachers of the county will feel
a responsibility to join.
Mr. R. J. Peel, judge of the Men
tin county Juvenile Court met with
the teachers. He asked that they as
aist him Jn, trying to relieve the sit
uation which exists in some section#
of the county. Martin County is will
ing to help the neglected children
within its confines but it is absolute
ly necessary that the facts be ascer
tained and reported before any reel
relief can come. The teachers may
be of great ns.sistanco if they cooper
ate in this matter.
Mr. Manning ugain tried to impress
upon the members the absolute neces
sity for teachers raising their certif
icates. He zealously insisted that
those who are applicants for original
certificates-warefully fill out applica
tion mail them at once to
the state department; and that those
I whose certificates are not of the dees
they desire make every effort to rales
their standing so that they might be
' eligible to a higher salary,
i After the business session was over,
Mr. Manning held a short devotional
service in the auditorium and the as
sembly adjourned to meet agaia at
some later date to discuss salient
problems that will be proposed by the
program committee, consisting of Mr,
M. J. Davis as chairman, with his
j helpers, Misses Annie E. Miselle and
Millie Roebuck and Messrs. W. M.
Lovelace and F. Q. Ilarbee.
A. J. MANNING, President.
