Faith Healing
Washington, North Carolina, had preaching for
seven months without a let up, except only Mon- ,
day nights when iTie. preacher collected wind for an
other week's run. It is reasonably certain that no
town in this State win measure up to the endurance
record established over in Washington.
If the meeting had >tressed nothing but spirit and
soul healing, there should not lie left in the town a
single liar or' Wf. Bui the main feature of the meet
ing was for the healing of the body, the halt, the
maimed, the blind and the tame; in fact, the meeting
was advertised as a cure for paralysis, cancer, tuber
culosis, and practically every ailment from a sore tot
on up. j, -
Rev. J. M. Creech, of Selma. N. was the evange
list claiming the Divine healing power. He is a man
who has attended school but little and there are mil
lions of men who outclass him by far in the general
knowledge of things as taught by the Bible and
science. The preacher apparently possesses sufficient
power, however, to handle the will power of other men.
He made them to do many peculiar stunts, and led
many to think themselves healed. Perhaps some of
those going to'him for relief were helped in a way.
There is a wide difference in the healing methods
followed by Jesus and those employed in the Creech
meeting. The preacher called U|Min his subjects for
long testimonials, praising bis work and his. miraculous
cures. He used the testimonies over, and oyer again.
Following an hour* during which testimony was so
licited, a short sermon was preached, the minister
using the same text often. That the man is a student
of psychology was well illustrated in the method fol-

lowed in raising cash. As the donors went to the
front to contribute their offerings and shake hands
with the healer, many of them would fall as if they
had been shot dead at his feet. A deplorable sight it
was to see many people, old and young, lying pros
trate at his feet. The working organization was not
perfect, for, at times the members of the salvaging
crew were so completely overworked in removing the
victims to their seats that the prostrate ones were
piled three tier deep on the floor. «»
The |ieculiar work was placed on a" higher level
when a call was made to those desiring to be prayed
for to come up. He claimed, at this time, that the
Divine was playing down through him, that it would
wi|>e out all tyjies of diseases. And it is quite possible
that some of the subjects may have forgotten their
ailments.
When one man is able to hold a meeting for seven
months regularly, his power and ability to do so are
to Ik- admitted. Nobody took issue,with him because
every man has the right to preach what he pleases,
and everyone has the right to believe whatever he
so desires to believe.
ft is rathr strange, however, that in a State where
the Constitution requires a 6-months school that any
many can go among a people, preach for seven long
months, make the statement that he is the only man
in the world who can heal divinely as did Christ and
the Apostles and get anybody to believe him. We
wonder if such a teaching is fair to little children who
are innocent. Is it really treating the little ones right
to give them such an impression of the Heavenly
Father? ' ' T 1 V *
Certainly Rev. M. Creech acts and talks more like
a 'raan than a god, and he apparently knows more
j about men than he knows about God. He is strong
er, apparently, in the power to enchant men than he
I is in the display of marvelous love and power of God.
It is a long jump from the Apostles to Creech. We
- hardly think- the diseases--would have been neg
lected so long by a loving Father.
So far as we. know, Mr. Creech has never perform
ed a single miracle; he has, however, made men think
they were well.
Foolish In the Extreme
The case of the Richmond society girl, Miss Fran
ces McClenny, furnishes a new wonder. It is beyond
the ordinary field of reason to explain why a beauti
ful, well cultured, |xipular and rich young girl would
• run away with a married man of little culture and
little money to live with him as man and wife. Ihe
case apparently |*>ints to insanity, for certainly such
an act is without reason. It may have been, on the
ottfrr hand, a foolish case of adventure where only
one side of the affair was considered. Or it
been that Miss McClenny was the spoiled child of a
rich family who felt as though she had the power to
do as she pleased.
If this girl had been fully advised of the conse
quence of so foolish a deed, it is almost certain that
she would not have acted as she did.
Parents should always take the best care with their
girls; it will save most of them.

FORD FINANCING
PLAN HAS WIDE
RANGE OF APPEAL
——•
Lower Finance Charges of Universal
Credit Company Make It Easy
To Own a Ford Car
" ♦ •
Universal Credit Company is now
observing its second anniversary. This
Ford financing organisation provides
uniform time payment plans at low
cost for purchasers of Ford cars who
desire to pay for their transportation
aa they use it. The approval accord
ed the UOC plans by dealers and pub
lic has been complete, with the result
that millions of dollars have been
saved for Ford purchasers through
the lower finance charges of the UCC
plans. An estimated saving of ap
proximately $30,000,000 has been
made for customers of Ford dealers
during the past two years through the
lower time sales charges created by
UCC for the benefit of the public.
The organization of Universal Cred
it Company conforms squarelv with
the established Ford policy or creat
ing and developing every possible
economy for the purchasing public in
order that the Ford Car be available
to the greatest number of people at
the lowest possible cost.
UCC has succeeded in reducing the
cost of credit to the purchaser of a
Ford car who chooses to pay for
transportation out of income, as this
company operates on the basis of a
small profit on a .large volume of busi
ness. This reduction in the cost of
credit is also aided by the many econ
omies that arise from the operation
of an exclusively "Ford" plan on the
basis of nation-wide volume and with
a credit organization restricting its ,
business dealings to Ford dealers and
Ford products. Simple forms and a
uniformity of procedure contribute to
ward these credit economies.
In Universal CrediC Company the
cost of credit is considered to be just
as iia(>ortant as the cost of the ma- i
terial that becomes a part of the au- i
tomobile. Credit is a commodity that |
is important to a high percentage of
purchasers. The amount of the finance
charge influences th* time delivered
price of the car. Consequently, the
lower finance charges of UOC actu
ally result in a price reduction on
Ford cars." "
Universal Credit Company now has
thirty-two branch offices established
throughout the country and employs
nearly two thousand people. Tne
company has successfully handled a
volume of business in excess of $42&,-
000,000 and has passed on important
economies to nearly 800,000 time pur
chasers of Ford cars who secured the
advantages of these authorized Ford
finance plans during the last two
years.
The UOC organization is vitally in
terested in the important question of
creating additional good will for the
Ford dealer and the Ford product with
resulting courteous, quick, and confi
dential credit service for the customer.
A standard fire and theft insurance
policy for one year is issued to time
purchasers and the cost is included in
the terms of the UOC plans.
There is a branch office of the Uni
versal Credit Company in Norfolk.
The convenient terms and low cost
features of UOC plans are available
to Ford purchasers at the Williauistoti
Motor Co., Williamson, N. C., who
are authorized Ford dealers in this
community. _

IS USING IMPROVED
FARMING METHODS
—•—■
K. E. Tarkiflgtun, of Woodard. Grows
Little of So-Called "Money Crops,"
But Plenty of Feed
In a conversation with R. E. Tar
kington, prominent citizen of the
Woodard section last week, it was
brought out that instead of having to
buy corn for feed at this time, as is
the case with many farmers, he not
only had plenty for his own use but
was selling it to his neighbors and
friends. Mr. Tarkington went on to
explain that he did not go in so much
for the "cash-crop" system of farm
ing, raising no tobacco and very lit
tle cotton and peanuts.
He stated that ten years ago he was
using around 40 tons of commercial
fertilizer on his farm each season, fol
lowing the usual plan of cultivation
in the county. He then started plant
ing a considerable acreage to com,
making the rows 6 feet apart with a
row of soy beans In between. He says
the money derived from the sale of
the soy beans will usually pay for the
fertiliser and cost of cultivating the
crop, which leaves the entire yield of
corn almost pure "velvet." He uses
qnly about 10 tons of commercial fer
tiliser on his whole farm and is get
ting better yields from all crops than
he was 10 years ago, besides keeping
the soil in better condition. And, be
lieve it or not, in a conversation last
ing the better part of a half hour, the
expression "hard times" was not men
tioned even once.

RED CROSS PLANS
ROADSIDE RELIEF

' Bertie Omnty Chapter to Follow Oat
Plans of National Organisation
Te Aid Motorists
•
An extensive plan of emergency first
aid service along the highways is now
being projected by the American Red
Cross, whose officials have been mov
ed to act by the 30,000 deaths and
million injuries due to automobile ac
cidents last year.
The plan calls for the establish
ment of first aid service under Red
Cross local chapters at cross roads
and other danger points. Wayside
stores, stations of highway police,
community center, and the like, at
convenient intervals, are suggested as
locations for this emergency service.
Each Red Cross station will have
on hand a complete kit of .first aid
supplies, a list of telephone Aumbers
of physicians, ambulances and hospi
tals in the vicinity, which has\heen
approved by the local medical society,
and at least one person readily avail
able who has been trained in Red
Cross first aid. \
The Red Cross has for some yeaiV
been activq in teaching first aid tA
policemen, firemen, Boy Scout leaders
and executives and employees of tel
ephone companies and other indus
tries. They are prospective material
for vrnt-aid duty.
Markers are to be set up on the
roads, indicating the direction and dis
tance to the nearest first-aid station,
also arrangements made for volunteer
I automobile transportation when nec
essary All first aid services would
be rendered by without
charge as a part of a chapter's activi
ties.

ADVISES BAGGING
f OF SEED TOBACCO
Oouaty A cent Says Pat Paper Bag
Over Head of Seed Stallu;
Prevents Mixing
t ♦
By B. E. Grant, Bertie County Agent
j
I A few farmers began putting in to
. bacco last week. Others KBve had to
I start up this week. It now looks as
. if this crop will be short tMs year.
Tobacco fanners who have % good
variety of tobacco should purchase a
I few 16-pound paper bags to bag the
, beal« of their sped stalks to prevent
. mixing with inferior plants. Farmers
who make a specialty of growing to
bacco Heed grow them under bags,
i Any tobacco farmer can do this. The
. head should be pruned up as soon as
■ it js ready to begin blooming. A lit-
I tie poison should be dusted over the
i head before- bagging for worm con
trol. This is made by mixing one
' ounce of arsenate lead with 3 pounds
» of corn meal. Each week the bag
' should be removed and the old blooms
I shook out. After the plant is through
blooming and the seed pods are hard
; the bags should be removed. We
i should have several farmers making
1 a specialty of producing good seed in
the county.
