Poteat to > Speak at Local Church Sunday Noted Religrious States man and Missionary Worker The town of Williamston and Mar tin County are to he signally honored by the coming to Williamston of Dr. Edwin M. Poteat for a snigle speak ing engagement next Sunday morn ing. Dr. Poteat is the brother of the il lustrous president of Wake Forest College, and is himself an educator of the first rank. Dr. Poteat was for a long time president of Furman Uni versity in South Carolina. He has long been prominently connected with religious and educational activities in the South, and was for years a lead er and religious statesman in the North, with headquarters in New- York City.. He has two sons who are missionaries in the Far East, and five years ago he went out to visit them. On his passage to China, he was offered a chair in the Shanghai College, which he accepted; and for five years he has taught, preached, end lectured in China. He is going to speak in the Me morial Baptist Church of William ston Sunday morning: at 11 o'clock, leaving immediately afterwards for un engagement in Chicago. The local liaptist church conceives it to he a notable piece of service t> bring to Williamson, from time to time, men of note and ability in their respective fields. And not only will the local congregation be interested in such a man as Dr. l'oteat, but the people at large will want to hear him. The pastor of the local Baptist church, in conference with the pas ters of the local Methodist ami Chris tian churches, learns that these two churches will have no service next Sunday morning. He, therefore, feels free to invite the people of these con gregations to hear Dr: l'oteat at this ./morning hour. -- The people of the surrounding towns and rural sections are heartily invit ed to take advantage of this rare op portunity. In fact, everybody who is not engaged in a religious service at this time is cordially invited to hear Dr. l'oteat. He has just spoken before the ses sions of the Southern Baptist convcn Lion in Louisville, Ky., and within the week preached the baccalaureate ser mon for Meradith College, Raleigh. After speaking in Williamslon, he goes immediately to Chicago to fill an important speaking engagement at the meetings of the Northern liap tist convention. Comparing County And School Costs Messrs. J. H. Alexander, cashier of the Scotland Neck Bank, and Norfleet Smith, treasurer of Halifax County, visited the various county offices here last week. While here they compared the county I costs and school costs of Halifax with those of Martin.

Halifax is making a comparison of its county and school costs with those of all the adjoining counties. Young Boy Dies at Home Near Bear Grass Mayo, the young son of Mr. and Mrs. L. H.
