The committee, of which Dr. Wilson is a member is organized to present the needs of Davidson to its friends and .alumni, 'and to build "A Greater Da vidson, for a Greater , Southern.

Dr. Wilson has long retained a treat interest In Davidson College, where ho entered as a freshman in 1873. under the name of Thomas Woodiow Wilson that he used thru out his earlier years until he finally dropped the 'Thomas" from his name. While nresident. he once visited the institution, and the college rec ords show that he took' a prominent part in college activities. Dr.. Wilson was 17 years old upon entering Da vidson, and it was here that he made his first public addresses and took the interest in political affairs of his country that characterized his later life. ' Rev. Joseph R. Wilson, father of the famous president and prominent Presbyterian minister of Wilmington, N. C, was a member of the board of trustees of Davidson for a number of years, and was responsible for his son's matriculation at the institution.

CALVARY CHURCH. : Children's church and instruction . at 9:45 a.m. Men's Bible Class uptown, at 10. Holy communion and sermon at 11. At this service the sermon will be preached by the Rev. Walter Mit ohell, master of Porter Military Aca demy, Charleston, S. C. He is a dis tinguished man, and a good and able one. and his sermon on "Christian Education ought to be well worth hearing.

I have secured five reel reli gious picture that ought to be beau tiful and helpful and heart-searching, from the description I have had of it. It is called "Father Tom," and is the story of a holy priest who spent his life in a little town like this doing good in Christ's name. Everybody is invited to this service, except three kinds of people: those who think the idea , ,ong ought not to come, and are not invited," because it would be a sin for -them to come: and grown men who will not contribute so much ae ten cents to help me pay for the use. of the building, and the rent of the picture, and the fee for the operator, are not invited, because they take upJ seats that might be occupied by wor thier men : If there was room enough for all, those sort of people would be welcome too, fr they need all the spiritual help they can get: hut as the capacity of the building is limit ed, I wish that dead-heads would not come: and also, those who stay out aide till the service is over, and then come in just to see the picture, are not welcome. Their way of . doing is not reverent nor seemly, and besides they disturb aerious minded people at their devotions. There was a meeting here this morning m tne court nouse oi tne State Highway engineers of this dis trict. These meetings have been called over the state, the main purpose of which is to get the workers of the commission together so as to learn each other and to assist in standard izing the work now in course of con struction. The engineers present were afl- dressed by Mr. Frank Page, who im pressed them with the great work before them and said that a continu ance of this work was dependent to a great extent tapon the way they performed their duty to the public. He appealed to those present to be sure and see that the taxpayers got o dollars worth for every dollar spent and, while he believed in economy, he urged them not to be false econ omists. ' Mr. Page urged his co-workers to be courteous to the public and show them every reasonable consideration. He put much enthusiasm into his hearers and his short talk will do great good. It was not , what ', you would call a speech, but a heart-to- heart talk with his associates that went straight to the point. In conclusion, Mr. Page told his audience that when the work was over and made a success, which he was sure it would be, the credit will be theirs and not his, because they were really doing the work. Mr. Page is very popular with all the employes of the commission, and after hearing his talk no one need wonder why Mr. W. A. Hart, who was detained in the country this morning, made a few remarks to those present and told them that as he was to go to Bertie cpunty this afternoon he could not remain with them as he would wish to.r He complimented his force in this district and told "them they were all going good work wherever he had gone. ' As he closed his remarks, he in vited all present to a barbecue din ner in the commons, and if they could not eat barbecue, he had watermelons as well. . , ' ,' HALIFAX, N. S., Aug. 5. Harry McDonald, a 12-year-old lad living at Fairview, on the outskirts of Hali fax, has to his credit three rescues from drowning, all within the past three years. " His latest feat was the saving re cently of five-year-old Teddy Moller when the small boy fell thru a hole in a Fairview wharf. Young McDonald had to dive over the wharf and swim a distance of 20 feet among the piles. The young Moller boy ias going un der the third time and was uncon scious 'when rescued, but McDonald clutched him and then holding to one of the piles directed the remainder of the saving operations. These were carried out with the aid of a cod line passed down from the wharf. Questioned about his first life sav ing exploit, Harry said : "Aw, it wasn't nuthin' at all. The O'Brien kid what lives on Stanley street, fell off a raft down by the shipyards and I went in and pulled him out." ". .The description of the second ex ploit when he rescued Arthur Mctham was: "He was my chum, so I had'to get him back." It was not until after his first two rescues that the young life saver learned to swim. In the first instance he' plunged after the "O'Brien kid into the water over his head, and managed some how to get him back to the raft. In the second he went to his chum's rescue partially supported by a stick. Harry is described as a "regular boy," even to having the proverbial "yallerdog." One of Harry's ambi tions is to becom a Sea Scout. FRANCE TAKES OVER GERMAN PROPERTY FOB FAILURE TO PAY By The Associated Press. - PARIS, Aug. 5. The French gov ernment today ordered into effect penalties against Germany for fail ure to pay in full the installments on pre-war debts to French citizens. The penalties concern German pro perties sequestered in France. Certain payments that are made to Germany on account of war losses are suspended in Alsace-Lorraine, as are also indemnities under arbitra tion agreements reached between France and Germany in August and September, 1921. No military action is involved in the move today. ; n J, EAGLES THIS ABOUT COOP CHURCH FOLKS AND AFFAIR 0 T LIKE THE DEMOCRAT PARTY A traveling salesman passing thru one of our large cities, stopped at a swell hotel to spend the night After going up to his room, he found his bed covered with bedbugs.

By C. B. RIDDLE. New York is to celebrate next year the three hundredth anniversary of the settlers of the Walloons andHu? guenots. The King of Belgium, the Queen of Holland and the President of France have been invited to at tend the occasion. Many of the religious organiza tions of the United States are send. in;. messengers of good will to Eu. lope to visit the church institutions there and to confer with church lead era,.. There is a movement on foot for closer cooperation between the gen eral bodies of the various denomina tions and the producers of moving pictures.. The public has begun to think that there is too much criticism upon the part of the churches con cerning certain pictures and not en ough cooperation. It is pointed out by church leaders that the best way to eliminate bad pictures is to sub- stitute better ones, and it is with this in view that those cooperating may find a satisfactory solution. Church advertising is now being studied very closely by many who are interested in the subject. Some of the general church boards have created such an office as "publicity director" and making an experiment of general and specific church adver tising. Those- who have tried church advertising testify as to its results. The' sixteenth annual Sunday school convention recently held in Kansas City, Mo., registered nearly 8000 del egates. Marion Lawrence, who has been actively engaged with the con vention for 23 years, retired at the Kansas convention. Mr. Herbert Hoover in a recent re port on the work of Russia to Presi dent Harding stated that the funds handled in the purchase of seed, grain and other food stuff and medi cal supplies ' amounted to $59,498, 000. Mr. Hoover states that not a cent of this amount lftis been used for internal transportation, ware houses, distribution or equipment.' There is a . movement going on among many of the religions forces of the world to give the prisoner a better and cleaner place to work and live. The church is seeking to admin ister to the criminal in a social as well as a religious way. 'Social jus tice is demanding that a criminal de serves good treatment and that Lis confieneraent is hia suffering. , In writing to the North Carolina Cotton Grower, Mr. W. W. Eagles tells just exactly what he thinks of the cooperative system of selling cot ton. He says: The farmers of the South have never sold their cotton and tobacco. They take twelve months in the 'year to grow and prepare their crops and then dump them on the big compa nies and speculators whether they need them or not. This is done in sixty or ninety days. The manufac turers and speculators are gorged in such quantities that they can hardly handle the produce even at a low price. Cooperative marketing means the orderly, business-like selling of crops 'f orrtweive months tirthe jVear by the farmer at a reasonable profit for the farmer, and in such short line quantities as the manufacturers need them. When these crops are marketed in this way, the farmer will receive much more for his crops. WOQDHEAD HURLED GOOD GAM BUNCH E, ST LOSE R T AGAIN Dr. B. W.Kilgore Speaks To Farmers HARVARD LOANS TELESCOPE TO CRACOW UNIVERSITY Woodhead. former satellite with the Rocky Mount Down Homers, out pitched Mark Webb yesterday after noon m Bryan Park, and Farmville got away with another game, 4 to 1 Webb's wildness and the inabilii of his teammates to hit with men on base were the cause for the second straight defeat at the hands of the Farmville clan, who won their fifth consecutive victory- Umpire Whitaker also had an off day, his efforts to keep his eye on the ball being poor, and causing two or three damaging blows to Tarboro. Ferry, the fast little third baseman for the locals, was back iii the game yesterday, but was banished from the park for disputing a decision before the game was over. Stuart's Tar Babies apparently are in a rut too deep to overcome, thr a lack of hitting power, although the infield at times shows up poorly. Continual changing of positions in both infield and outgarden seems to have worked a hardship on the Tar Babies. Boasting a larger roster pos sibly than any other club in. the cir cuit and having two from a picked all-star team in the league, tbey are yet to demonstrate a stride of win. iiing games. Fans generally seem to think that the original line-up of the locals would be more effective than the present order of affairs. How. ever, they are corfident of Mr. Star art's ability to pick players for posi tions and believe his strategy will eventually prove fraitful. BUSLINE TO ROCKY MOUN T Mr, Thomas J.

IS THE PRESENT HOME LIFE A FAILURE? ' '..'' WRITTEN FOR SOUTHER NER BY MRS. G. E. WEEKS What is home? Webster says, a place of abode. Abode means a place of continued residence. "' ' To many, homes are mere board ing houses, dormitories, junk piles, dance halls, gambling halls, places used for secret whiskey drinking and all other kinds of pandemonium. It's also the predominant institu. i forbids. The only remedy for this is "the Savior o the world." America's greatest peril is the spir itual neglect of her childhood. A walk along a city street in the evening reveals the . fact that the nurture of the sidewalk, the ice cream parlor, the shows, the street pianos, etc., have to a very great ex tion for fusses between husband and . tent supplanted the nurture of the wife, and numerous other character-) home on the social side istics -too- extensive to enumerate. The term "home" has been sadly abused. -. There is lots of difference between the word "home" and the word house. Many live in houses, an are still homeless. ; - v.;'; I want to "enumerate a few causes of "home failure." The first I will mention is this, "No work" for what kind of a home can you have without something' to sup port it? ! f, - .: Other prominent causes arej Baa company, drink, brutal gamers, ao meqtic troubles, bad books and cigar ettes, fast women, gambling, boyish pranks, hunger, lack of home train ing, parental neglect, instruction in stealing by older people, cocaine and other drugs, fault finding, separation of parents, loss of parents by death, street playing and- loafing. There are many other things that could be added to this list, but space The table with the evening lamp, "the home's lighthouse," the family altar completely about it, have almost bee eliminated from the program of, our American childhood. The home should be the center of the child's social life (adults as well). The home will always continue to be one of the most important if not the most important for training of morals and religion. Fathers, what are you doing for the training of your children? God has entrusted them to your keeping. Remember that a boy longs to place his father on the throne of his heart. The fathers who covet that place are too few. . ''' ., I know the very heart of "Our God" aches when daily He sees the cares of this world crowding out the thines that are supreme. May Cod have pity on the thous-l anfs who live in houses, but homeless. ' According to appointment. Dr. B, W. Kilgore of Raleigh spoke today in the court house at half past two o'clock to the cotton farmers of the county. He is well known to our peo ple and his judgment on the agri cultural lines is always good. After preaching production for 30 years with the result that North Car olina climbed into fourth place among the states of the American union iri the market value of farm products, Dr. B. W. Kilgore, director of tne. State Agricultural Extension Seryice, declared in an address here this afternoon that he had seen a new light two years ago, when the Old North State was ousted from this po sition by California, the home of co operative selling, which climbed in a single year from fifteenth place to the position formerly held by North Carolina. The success of modern business enterprises like the steel trust has been due to its organization on a large scale which enables it to com mand the best brains and the best talent and to market its products in an orderly manner, declared Dr. Kil gore, The farmer is the biggest produc er, the biggest borrower and the big gest buyer, Dr. Kilgore explained, but because he has been unorganized for selling, he has been forced to take the lowest price for what he makes, has the poorest credit facilities en joyed by any business and pays the highest prices for what he buys., Cooperative selling of cotton is bound to mean more money for the growers, he declared, and what helps the farmer helps the merchant, the banker, and the manufacturer. The necessity of paying better prices for cotton' to .enable .the grower to have a better standard of living was em phasized by the speaker, who declar ed that it was the duty of every good citizen to support the cooperative movement. If he had not believed that the co operative staling of cotton is sound in principle and feasible in operation, Dr. Kilgore said he would not have staked his reputation, his character and the prestige that he has gained thru 30 years of faithful work for the farmers of North Carolina in ad vocating it. ' He could have continaed to look after his other duties without injury to himself and have had an assured future, if he had desired, he said, but he was not satisfied to lead that kind of a life. He believed that the coop erative marketing of cotton is right and he is helping because it is Tight, he declared. Dr. Kilgore told the Edgecombe farmers that the success of the North Carolina Cotton Growers Cooperative Association this season is assured. It has 400,000 bales of cotton signed ... t . . , up, out its success can De increased by securing mre members. The goal has. been set at 600,000 bales.

Jesus called the Apostles unto Him and said unto them, I have compas- Isinn on the multitude, because they have been with me now three days, and have nothing to eat. St. Mark 8:2..'. ; This sermon shall be on Christian pity. There are two spiritual quali ties which must mark a true follower of Christ. They are tenderness of heart and righteousness of life. Peo ple who are not pitiful toward suf fering, and who live in wilful sin, whatever other virtues they may have certainly have not the spirit of Christ and whatever religion they may have they certainly have not the Christian religion. There are three kinds of suffering that always aroused the pity of Jesus when He was on earth in human form and which claim His pity yat: 1. Physical suffering: Jesus never looked upon any kind of bodily pain without quick and ready compassion. I:i no instance did sick persons ever come before Him that He did not r-ieet them with tender pity, and im mediate help. He touched poor lepers v ith loving hands and cured' them; He opened blind men's eyes;Ile drove devils out of insane people J He ffthent'd the shriveled arm of a deformed man, and straightened the buck of un old bent over woman. He was sorry for hungry people, and fed them: . He, was sorry for.sV pco-,. pie. "Sleep on now,' and"tac .yoili" rust, for your spirit is willing, tho' your flesh is weak," He said to His Apostles when He found them asleep at the post. Any man who grows in to the life of Christ, finds himself with ever ictreasing pity and tenderness tow aids all kinds of physical pain. He longs to help sick people, and to feed hungry people, and shudders at the infliction of pain on dumb brutes. The only time General Lee was ever seen angry, was at an artilleryman who wai kicking a horse in the stom ach, and he got off of his horse un der fire one day.to put a. little bird back in its nest, from which a burst ing shll hau huaken it. 2. But heart ache is deeper than bodily pain. Jesus "always was moved at the sight of human sorrow, When He stood with two sisters crying at their brother's grave, He burst into tears: He turned like a flash to Jai riK when the. servant came with the news that his little girl was dead, and saH, "Don't be afraid; only believe"; He sat down and cried when He was going to Jerusalem the last time, over the poor blind city that was about to crycify its King: On His way to death He stopped and begged the women who followed Him not to cry. A Christian is careful about hurt ing people's feelings, and has pity on the petty griefs of little children, and does what he can to lighten the bur den of this sad world's sorrow and shame and despair. 3. And Jesus was sorry most of all for wicked people, who are just peo ple with sick souls. He cured sick people, and wept with sorrowful peo ple: but far more than that, for sin ful people, He died on Calvary. A Fine Ventilating System. One of the most commendable things about Mr. McCabe's theatre is the splendid ventilating system in stalled when the house was buity.
