three years, coming h?ie from Scot

to Scotland Neck. When the Last Cu

the biggest factors in the success o.
that worthy institution. None came

moderator of the Roanoke Baptist

and was perhaps the most prominent
layman of that Church in the nort;
eastern part of the State.
Mr. Wilson was abount lilty-thre.
years old. The funeral will be heb.
in the Emmanuel Baptist church in
Greenville, the church that he perhap
did as much to build as any otr.e

COLORED PREACHER VISITS I'.s
/jo.shua L. Griffin, the odl colored
preacher of Williams us
a visit this week. He had several in
t resting things to talk about, anitmt
them was his well which lie dug a
'the fork of the road near BetheUhen
church During the dry season last
full wlico little water was to be ha
in that *eetiin to says he walked ti
that particular K|»ot with his spade it
his hand, sticking same in the ground
and looking heavenward and asked ol
God for a fountain of water.
A bubbling, gushing spring wa.-
found after he had dug fourteen feet.
He says that on his seventy-third birth
day in April he is going to dedicate
this well to public ufce for men of all
tongues and creeds. He is going to
liave dne part set aside for" white:
and one for colored und he wants
flowers to grow by the well to pleusi
tne eye and gladden the heart oi
weary travelers.
This oll man is in a measure v
peculiar person in comparison with
others. He goes to jails, convict
camps, and any other place where mai
is found and with a smile always pro
claims Jesus. We have seen him walk
by side of two men on tliei ru
to the gallows ami Iris faith shined sc
brigltfiy in that cold, sad scene that
we were made to believe that his re
ligion was-Ihoart-deep. .
NORTH CAROLINA FIRST AC.A
Raleigh, N. C., Feb. B.—lt is of re
markable interest to find that North
Carolina has recovered first rank in
the* total value of the sweet potato
crop and also the peanut crop, wheih
added to the already attained first
' i ank in soybeans and tobacco denote
great credit. The probable value per
acre of all crops puts us in the lea«'
too.
Tlie vtloe of North Carotin's 1921
sweet potato crop was $9,900,000, i
which ranks us first in the vaule o
this crop. While 1 Georgia stand* first
in the production with 12,400,000
bushels, Alabama is second in both
production and value, with. North Car
oliria's ten million bushel crop rank
ing third in quantity produced. Geor
gia potatoes sold
bama's at 73, while- North Carolina'.'
brought 97 cents or 9 n-nts higher per
bushel than the average price for the
whole co.untry. Our sweet potato crop
although less, than grown in 1920, is
gaining in popularity as evidenced by
the interest and increase it» curing

league of Nations. The impertant
nubjects of outlawing submarines, gas
warfare, he Shantung trouble, the
Chinese railway, fortifications on the

and suffering beettuse a bunch of old
musty politicians would not adopt the
