MLY SOUTHERNER READ SOUTHERNER WANT ADS FOR A BARGAIN USE SOUTHERNER WANT ADS FOR QUICK RETURNS. LOCAL COTTON, 21 3-4 CENTS. VOL. 43 NO. 114. ASSOCIATED PRESS TARBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, JULY 27, 1922 ALL THE LOCAL NEWS 0 Someth Wrong ing With Edgecombe ' For several day the Southerner has been trying to show to the people1 the necessity of retaining in the county the office of the County Farm Demonstration agent. ' It has carried several editorials on this important question and it has given a few interviews from some of our best farmers. This movement to dispense with the services of the agent at this, time will to our way of thinking be most deplorable and as one man suggested, ' that instead of doing away with this office the people had better send the present official to South Carolina or somewhere else to make a study of the boll weevil conditions eo as to be of assistance to the farmers of the county when this pest arrives, which will be in a few years surely. Craven county has already employ ed a special roan to assist in this fight . against the weevil, and the Scotland Neck chamber of commerce has em ployed a farm demonstration agent, whose salary will be paid by that or ganization. The people of Scotland Neck have heard about the movement to dis pense with the farm agent at this time and the Commonwealth makes the following comment: We have always looked upon Edge combe county as being one of the most forward counties in Eastern North Carolina along agricultural lines, and we in Halifax have been proud to be her neighbor, but if re- ports-which we hear are true it is considering a very backward step in doing away with a county agricul tural agent. If ever there was a time in the history of agriculture when such" work was needed it is now when We are threatened with the boll wee vil and which will force a revolution in farming methods. Rather than do ing away with one agent it would be better to put several in the field and do more intensive development. We do ' not believe that the intelligent business men and farmers of Edge combe will ever permit any faction or political clique to do away with the services of the agricultural agent, but rather will insist that greater ap propriations be made for the work, as is being done in Halifax, Craven and other counties of Eastern North Carolina. The county of Craven, for instance, has appropriated $10,000 a year for the development of the ag ricultural interests of that county, : and the chamber of commerce of Scotland Neck has raised $1,800 tow ard paying for the services of such an agent. With other counties in the east doing such things surely Edge combe county is not going to take a : backward step. CONETO INSTITUTE ATM i Li L SCHOOL SUNDAY HE if! GIVES NX OVER A UP AFTER BARRED IN HOUSE 2 WEEKS STRIKE SITUATION Plans for the Sunday School In stitute at 'Conetoe next Sunday are as follows: We will meet at 11 o'clock instead of 10 as before. We will have 30 min utes of song and prayer service. Each school will be asked to sing some of the old familiar hymns. And all will sing some of t ehnew, - wide-awake Sunday school songs. At 11:30 an in spirational address. Dinner will be served at 12:30. From 1 :30 to 3 Bro. Slaughter will have charge of a pro-gram-which will be-of much interest.' Bro. Slaughter has prepared himself for Sunday school work as hut few young men in our conference have. He knows how' to organize and make a Sunday school go. He and his con gregation will meet with us, and all together we expect a great day at Conetoe next Sunday.; We invite everybody and want everybody to bring dinner and we will serve it together and have a get- together day as well as a day of stu dy. I am urging every member of the McKendree charge to be present. A great majority of the children of our county are stfll out of the Sunday school and more than 45,000 people out of the church. If the next generation is saved, the Sunday school must get busy at once. We are not willing for oljr county to 'be the lowest in North Carolina in its percentage of church membership. It shall not be so if the Christian people of the county will go to Cod in prayer and then go out and help answer their prayers. Let everybody who will pull for Sunday School Day be at Conetoe on next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock, L. L. SMITH. HUNTINGTON, West Va., July 27. John Frederick, an' insane man, who has been barricaded in a house at Hinton, defying deputy sheriffs and state police for almost two weeks surrendered this morning, according to telephone reports. Frederick was wounded in both arms, according to the report. One man was killed by Frederick.

Disrup tion of the United Mine Workers of America, if President Farrington of the Illinois mine workers is permit ted to proceed with the program an nounced in St. Louis late yesterday, was predicted hese today by John Watt, secre'tary-treasurer of .Spring field sub-district, who declared it was up to John L.

RUM RUNNING SHIPS SEIZED BY OFFICERS By The Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 27.-Seizure of three alleged rum-running boats over night is declared by federal prohibi tion agents today to indicate a re sumption of activities by the liquor smugglers, Who have been uncom monly quiet for several weeks. reached his meridian splendor, the spirit of Mrs. Helen Powell, widow of the late William II. Powell, was re leased iroin its trammels and limita tions, and summoned to regions ethe rial and radiant with the glory of Him Who is the Light of the world. In her going, all classes sustain a ptoipunced and distinct loss, for in whom was she not interested and to whom did her thoughtful and gentle ministry not reach? Mrs. Powell was a woman of un usually strong intellectuality and marvelous executive ability, as is evi denced, to speak of no other,, in the eminently successful manner in which she conducted the large business af fairs that were so suddenly thrust upon her when she was widowed. But she was more richly endowed. She was possessed of generous impulses, warmest sympathies and noble aspi rations. In every activity of the city that tended to progress, helpfulness and elevation of character she was deeply, enthusiastically concerned. Infinitely removed from the spectac ular, to the needy her beneficent min istry was constant, abundant and al ways administered in sweetest man ner. Many were the virtues that beau tified and the graces that glorified the character of 'this noble woman, and make her memory as ointment poured forth. Of such as she the blind Milton was thinking when he wrote: O fairest of creation, last and best Of all God's works, creature in whom excell'd Whatever can to sight or thought be formed, Holy, divine, good, amiable or sweet." In early life, Mrs. Powell gave her heart to God and her life, in deepest consecration, to His cause. Soon thereafter she united with the Meth odist church and gave to it, through the years a service characterized by constancy, zeal, wisdom and loyal de votion. Its doctrines were the em bodiment and expression of her faith and hope, its worship her delight. Never did she question the wisdom or goodness of her heavenly Father. When in 1912 she, in His providence, was bereft of her husband and left alone with the responsibility of rear ing and educating their three little ones, no word of murmur escaped her lips, but, in a faith triumphant, she said, A Father's hand will never'cause - His child a needless, tear," and determinedly addressed herself to the duties before her. Most ad mirably did she execute them, giving to each of the children a college edu cation. She did immeasuraibly more and better than this; by her tactful; teaching of the Word, accentuated by her pure and noble life, she led them, each one, in humble contrition and living faith, to the foot of the cross of that divine Saviour Who was the joy and strength, the comfort and inspiration of her own life.

GREENVILLE AND LOCALS BATTLE TO 5-5 TIE, GOOD SIZE CROWD GETS THRILL Yesterday was Booster Day in Tar boro for the baseball club, all the stores were ' closed and' nearly one thousand people turned out to see the Greenville club and the locals battle to a ten-inning 6-6 score. . The' features of the game were the two beautiful catches made by Dou-. ghton'in center field and theypftching of Beale, who relieved Loach in the third inning, after Bradley had dou bled to the left field fence scoring twoiWMiers. - .- - TT " While wild at times, Beale pitched steady bull and fanned twelve men during his stay on the mound. Johnnie Firth, who started for the locals, again played in hard luck. His pitching was was good until the 8th, when he became wild and was reliev ed by Cobb. ' Umpire Brandon saw too much baseball at times to watch the plays close enough. In the eighth frame, Massey doubled to left-center, and i after Keating went out pitcher to first, the Greenville first baseman was caught off second by two feet, but Mr. Brandon failed to see the play. And again Massey was called safe at home on a wild pitch, McQuinn re covering the ball and Firth tagging the runner with a margin of several seconds. Howevel, the breaks appear ed to be against the locals when they spelled victory.
