A MARTIN LADY WAS
OCTOGANORIGINATOR
WORLD FAMOUS SOAP WAS
FIRST MANUFACTURED
IN MARTIN COUNTY
Idea Originated In Grifllnn To«rnshi|
About Forty Years
Ago
The World famous "Octagon Soap
was first manufactured in Martin
county* abou ! forty years ago ii-
Uiaiuond City, which was al thai tun.,
the headquarters of the old Jamesville
ami Washington rail road.
Mrs. Elkington, who invented ti.i
soap, recti vet I her ideas of soap n.
iug from some of the older women o
Grutins township and while she kept
her resilience in. that community sh.
made soap for herself and a fev.
friends. When she moved back U
Philadelphia, her old home, s. t
linued the making of this special st a (
for her own use aud that of he.
all of whom found it to U.
a remarkable grade of soap.
A Mr. Hanes was attracted by tit
merits of the soap and he proceede
to get a |>aient and to establish th.
biand. It was given the name "Oct
gon" on account of its shape, which
for a number of years was j>ne Qt' its
most widely advertised features. 1
was claimed that the soap was easiet
to hold than the square shaped ba>
of the "Old Monday" and other popu
lar biands of that day.
Today we find Octagon soap used
universally and is as popular as any
article on the market at present. It
has well proven its merits to many
millions.
The wealth from the manufacture
and sale of this soap has reached
throngs of people, but it has not
gone to the community from which
the recipe came nor to M rs. Eling
ton who carried it to Philadelphia,
but to those who graspetl the "big
idea",

HLL IT AT DUB^
PRESIDENT HARDING IS
DISAPPOINTED BY VOTE
It Is Obvious That He Is Greatly Af
fected By New* From
Minnesota Election.
Curry, Alsaka, July 18.—News of
fhe election of Magnus Johnson, farm
er-laborite candidate to the senate
irom Minnesota over Governor Preus
was received by President Harding
yesterday when his special train on
he Alsaken railroad was stopped
.ere lor breakfast.
Ti.e chioi executive read the As
sociated i'ress uispatches saying
uovernor I'reus had conceded his de
icat and giving returns from about
luiif the state, but he would make
no comment on the grounds that the
voters* had spoken and any state
ment from the President would be
unseemly.
It'was obvious the President was
greatly disappointed,
co and the cooperative growers- ar.
cringing well-graded tobacco to th
association floors, due to Jhe fact thai
more- titan l;>0 locals have held demon
strations in sorting and bundling diii
ing the last ten days.
Great mass meet tigs to celebrati
the success of the cooperative assoc
ation and the opening of its seconu
year are taking place this week at
Kingstree where U. S. Senator E. I).,
Smith, noted farm bloc leader, is
scheduled to address tobacco farm
ers at a great barbecue.
T. C. Watkins, manager of ware
houses, defines the policy of the as
sociation as it enters its sceond year
of marketing in the following words
contained in a letter mailed to evert
warehouse employee of the South Cai
olina Belt:
"Our first duty is to serve the
farmer, who is our employer, a fat*
that we should never lose sight of.
Your work is not tinished when yo
have completed your routine duties
It is up to you to live and talk co
operative marketing. Our membershi
is looking to its employees and is
judging our organzation by their con
duct." —S. D. Frissell.
ILLITERACY RATE IS
CHIEF CAUSE OF SHAME
Thoroughly Enforced Compulsory
School Law Chief
Remedy
By Mrs. Palmer Jerman
To club women, North Carolina's
high rating of I literacy is our chieif
educational shame. Much is being done
vto reduce this, but it can never be
wiped out until our compulsory .school
law has back of it an aroused publ .«
opainion that will make its enforce
ment obligatory.
Approaching the subject from the
adult illiteracy standpont will always
be, to a large extent, patch work
This is rue notwithstanding the great
good that has been done through the
agencies set up to relieve a bail situ
ation, but youth is the time for the
school room, and all the youth o
North Carolina in the school roon
from seven to fourteen years could
in a decade-, biing us out of our place
near the foot of the list.
In view of the fact that the Unite
States remains tenth in literacy a
mong the nations of the world, tin
General Federt (ion has adopted as lit
educational slogan, "No illitreacy i
the United States in 1U30."
If we are to make that come tni
in North Carolina our imperative
need is a crusade to arouse public
opinion. Additional legislation is im
needed—we have it on the statute
books now—but back of teat must be
qr. oted the driving force of an in
formed, statewide sentiment thai
knows our hope in the body politic
t» bring up the general average of
education in North Carolina.
