ION! , ' ' ' VIEf ON LIEN Li, Thing. Everlastingly Thing. DAILY Of all spoken words, iion com pares In its universal comprehensive ness with the word Thing. The lext sogTftphcr sUtes that the word thing is of Middle English origin. I find that it is a most ancient and honor able Uncage.' There is no record of the 'speech that primeval man used .as the equivalent of the word thing. The earliest use of the word is found Gen. 21:11, "And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's sight, because i.':. Th iim of the. Word is Ul HID DVm -- " " of infinite variety and endless appli cation. To realize the limitless breadth of iu use, read and consider Ue lOUnn comnimiumsu, halt not make unto thee any graven image or any likeness of anything that is heaven above or that is in the earth beneath or that is in the water under the earth." The word ig also used in the tonth commandment to denote all that a man may possess or own "nor anything that is his neighbors. Its use Is not confined to any condition of nature or life. Its use passes over and beyond, "the valley of the shadow of death." 'Why should it be thought a thing incred ible with you, that God should raise th dead?" The word was applie dto Christ Himself. "And Nathaniel said unto Him, can there any good thing come ut of Nasareth?" PhUlip sayeth unto him, Corhe and see.' If you will think moment you will be surprised to realise that the very existence and life of people are made up of things that they can only think, talk and write of things.

There are two things that a live person has to do, since the dead tell no tales, though go far as I know , they may hear some, that is they may tell something and hear something, j Things make news and newt does much to enliven the weary hours of life.

PACKING mm F Editor Southerner: ' For years I have known of the value of a produce marketing asso ciation for tho saU' of vegetables. " I believe such an organization, backed by tho farmers to grow the different crops and the banks to help them would make Edgecombe a rich er county. We have the railroad fa cilities and an evening service by the trains, the soil and climate and we only need cooperation to grow a vol ume of business in vegetables suffi cient to employ men of ability to market it intelligently, Tarboro needs a packing house to repacfl and inspect and brand every shipment Now to grow this produce is ex pensive and at this point is where the money is needed for seed, labor and fertilizer, and it would be a safer risk ' and settlements come more quickly than financing growing and holding cotton for 25 cents a pound. I feel like thig county, is ruined if we can't get out of. the rut wo are now in, growing crops which only give us returns for three months when our expenses go on for twelve months and banks spend six months collecting and during this time mon ey, 's tight to us farmers. This is all wrong. Every farmer in Edgecombe instead of bewailing these calamitous times, especially if he has sold all his cotton and hin to bacco, ought to be in the field setting Jtibbng plenty and breaking land for potatoes, peas and f ther crops. I do not believe that unless the banks as' agents of the government procure loans and deal with the far mers individually undujr t'ie new ar rangement of crop liens by the own er of the land and put him to work, times can get better. Further, I think if the extra gession would pass a law declaring every crop lien in the future null and void, expect it be given by the owner of the land, they would save to the credit of the people of the state many times the cost of assembling. ' fWe face a hard winter downcast, living in one of the most . fertile counties of the south, for the simple and only reason We have neither the means to go ahead nor an organiza tion to lead and advise. Edgecombe county needs a scien tific, practical trucker to develop the industry by organization and do away with tho office of a farm dem onstrator for it is not worth the price of the stationery used in office. '' We need money to come in all year round and less time business and the tirne merchant, even if we suffer many inconveniences to make th change. W. A. THIGPEN.

V ' . . ' ' Rain Mars Sunday Service for Fourth Successive Time, But Evangelist 'Comes Through' Three Services Remain. MACK CONDITION BETTER It was a small but intensely sym pathetic congregation that braved chilling winds and rain to attend the last Sunday night service at the tent and to hear Cyclone Mack preach "Let Us Run tho Race." Mack's ap pearance, too, was daring for the afternoon had been bad and 'when the time came for him to start to the tent the wind wag getting higher and the temperature shooting down ward incredulously. The afternoon service was well attended, comparatively. Mack had expected confidently to preach at both meetings but there was some confusion about his getting from the hospital to the tent and when he wag late he decided to remain in his room and better insure his preaching last night. This morning he appeared on the streets early, after a comfortable night's rest, and announced himself feeling fit for the concluding serv ices of the Tarboro campaign. Miss Palmer, in all probability, will preach at both the afternoon services but Back will preach tonight on ''Sinning Against the Holy Ghost" and tomor row night "And He Said Tomorrow." After the Tuesday night service, he i going to. .take- a train t RenaM house," in Benncttsville. Adversitic of the Campaign Hera. Perceptibly weak but with his voice clear and strong, Mack preach ed almost a full sermon last night. It was a strong sermon even as his ser mons go in force of matter and de livery. But, in the beginning, he took occasion to say something of the ad versities which have palled on the meeting in Tarboro. "In the first place, I encountered a strong prejudice against evangel ists here. You Tarboro people know that and some of you know how you were prejudiced against me when I came here. "Again, has it occurred to you that we have been 'rained out' for three successive Sundays? "Then, at the crest of the meet- ' ing, my own illness. I am too weak to be here preaching to you tonight but I am concerned about your soul." With all the . depressing things, Mack said that he liked Tarboro and was crazy about the Tarboro peo ple. In none of the four states that ho has campaign, and the many in which he has preached, has he en countered a more kindly, loveable falk, he said. Cloiing Meeting Tuesday Night. All plans have been made for clos ing the meeting Tuesday night. That is running it eight days longer than the evangelist contemplated when he came here. Mack himself is going home to take a rest: his party will be scattered around the country until the second Sunday in January, when the Kentucky campaign opens. References to the free 'will offer ing for Mr. McLendon were made at the afternoon arid evening services. Mr. Slaughter, of Tarboro, making the appeal in the afternoon and Mr. Smith, pastor of the PinetopS Meth odist church, making it in the after noon. There was no collection last night, but a great many folks who had received envelopes at previous meetings turned in their contribution. On Ruellim, New Thought, Etc. By a Strang coincidence, Miss Pal mer and Mr. McLendon, one preach ing in the afternoon and the other in the. evening, adjured Christiana and converts to watch the literature they "The devil is using brainy people for hsi work today," Miss Palmer said yesterday afternoon talking on the subject of the place of learning at the feet of Jesus "becauso they don't know enough about the Bible to repel the invitations of new cults. "The Russellites have actually been here, in Tarboro, since this campaign started. That is the biggest lot of rot and rubbish you ever saw and some of you are putting these books in your library. "If you take the Holy Ghost for your teacher make that our place of learning you will never be led into Russellism, Christian) Science, New Thought or any of the New Theology" and she suggested some bonfires in town. One has a'xeady been held. The Influence of Literature, "People reflect the literature they read," Mack said in his last night's sermon.; One reason that our people have such low moral standards is the damnable trash they gulp down. On the other hand, Cotton Mathers es ay 'To Do Good' influenced the whole career of Benjamin Franklin. "Listen, converts," he said, "light flashy stories with no purpose in therij seriously injure the minds of thousands of brilliant men and wom en." Remember that familiar ity with the bad ruins the taste for good. There is a snake in many a book that has changed the character of a boy through its moral poison so he was never quite the , same again." Talking primarily to Christians and converts, Mack warned them sbvut bad thoughtsr' ',..: ; C '.' -..T,. " can't help English! sparrows flying over my head," he said, "but as long as I can use these two hands -of mine they are not going to build a home in this wool of mine." The congregation almost roared. Some the Lord Will Sere, Anjrway. Mack caused another outburst last nignt wnen ne was talking to the con verts on evil thoughts, the harboring of which amounts to sin. "Suppose Dr. Brown, here, was to be awakened by a rap at his door. He answered and saw a broad shoulder ed, deep cne-ted, lantern jawed, hook nosed crook ho said, 'Preacher, I understand you are a good man, that you have a kind heart and are willihg' to help a fellow that's in trouble. I cracked a safe over at Greenville last night and I want you to open your door and admit me to your home and harbor me for a few days until the excitement is over and I can make my escape.' "Dr. Brown would say, 'Ho, I am not entertaining criminals and thugs under my roof.' Could Mr. Brown keep this man from knocking at his door and asking for admittance? You say, 'No,' Neither can you help the devil making evil suggestions and offering evil thoughts to you, but like Dr. Brown, you can say 'No' and resist him." "Understand that now?" Mack queried. "If you don't, you can run along home, for the Lord is going to take care of you anyhow." 1 DR.
