Moyock High School Boys See Two State Capitals and En
joy Two Weeks Automobile Touring in Virginia and N. C.
at Co?t, Including Grub and Lodging, of 812 Each
A fifteen hundred mile tour of twol
states that took them from the seal
to the mountains and back again at
a total cost, including meals and (
lodging for the two weeks consumed
In making the trip, of less than a
cent a mile was the amazing expe
rience of a party of Currituck County
high school boys this month.
T. B. Elliott, teacher of agricul
ture at Moyock High School, was in
charge of the party, which consisted
of the members of his class In agri
culture at Moyock High. They left
home on Monday. July 30, and got
hack on Saturday. August 11. and
when Mr. Elliott had figured up the
total expenses of the trip the cost to
each boy in the party was a few cents
less than $12.
The equipment consisted of two
Ford trucks, two tents, two big
buckets and 10 frying pans, and for
each boy on the trip two suits of
overalls, two khaki shirts, four suits
of underwear, a tin cup. a knife and
fork and spoon, a toothbrush and a
blanket. The trucks were achool
trucks owned by the County Board
of Education and used in the trans
portation of pupils to and from
school. These trucks were provided
for the trip by the County Board of
Education without charge.
"I had planned to teach these
boys animal husbandry during the
coming session," said Mr. Elliott,
who was telling an Elisabeth City
business man of his trip without a
thought of its being given any pub
licity, "and as a background for the
course I whnted them to see the best
stock farms In Virginia and North
Carolina. So we started out with
that as our main purpose, but with
the idea also of seeing as much of
North Carolina and Virginia as pos- j
slble enroute and of having a gen
eral good time.
"We did all three, and advertised
Currituck County's progresslveness<
in education to boot. t)ur trucks
were adorvied with big banners on i
which were printed 'Currituck's Fu- j
ture Farmers,' 'Moyock's Agrlcultur-1
al Class/ iWfl Learn by Seeing,' and
the like. One banner bore the in- <
=eorfptUm ? Vgjom-jCurrltuck to Chero- [
kee.' We didn't quite get to Chero- j
kee, but we did get to Haywood.
"Richmond was our first objective
and we went by way of Portsmouth,,
Suffolk, Smlthfield, Camp Lee. or!
rather what was Camp Lee, and Pe
tersburg. Ten miles beyond Rich
mond we stopped to look over the
noted Curies Neck farm, one of the :
biggest stock farms in Virginia,,
where prize-winning t>uroc Jersey
hogs and Hereford cattle are bred.
This farm produced the chamlpon
Duroc Jersey boar at the Virginia j
State Fair In 1921. It lias a herd
of 4 50 hogs and 50 brood sows.
"From Curies Neck farm we went,
back to Richmond, where we stopped j
long enough to look over the capltol
and other fctate buildings, and then ?
by way of Petersburg, Dinwiddle and J
Clarkaville, we took up our Journey!
to Roxboro, where we inspected the
loka stock farm with its Hereford
cattle and Berkshire hogs. By way ,
of Mebane and Burlington we then (
went to Greensboro, where we
looked over Tom Pemberton's Hoi-.
stein herd and his big dairy. We also]
visited.Mr#. J. F. Steven's dairy and
saw her herd of Holstelns, which Is1
said to have In it the finest Holstein "
cow In the State?an animal with a
record of having produced 12 gal
lons of milk in one day. We saw an
other cow In this herd from which
we were told ten gallons had been
milked the day before we were there.
Before leaving Greensboro we visit
ed Greensboro College for Women
and the North Carolina College for'
Women. We also went over the big j
farm in charge of I. W. Antrum near!
Greensboro on which there are 1,800 I
acre* in clover and alfalfa.
"At Winston-Salem we went over1
the tobacco plant of the R. J. Rey
nolds Company and out from Wins-!
ton- Salem visited the Reynolds estate
with Its famous Jersey cattle. They
were fitting show animals at this
nlace for an exhibition tour of the
principal fairs of the southeast and j
some of my boys, seeing the atten
tion being given the prize animals,'
each of which was blanketed and get
ting the benefit of a breeze from an i
electric fan, remarked that It would I
be a fine thing to be a Jersey cow. 1
"At the Reynolds^Lybrook dairy.
the herd of Red Polls was Inspected
and the boys miw for their first time
cow* milked by machinery. Here we
InM- cted also the Ane herd of Tam
worlh hngi and the hnrd of Angora
goat* nnd the flock of Southdown
nhrep Kopt on this farm. Here were
al*n n large number of Percheron
colt" t>red from the farm marea and
a pun-bred Percheron stallion.
"From Winston-Salem we went on
bv way of Mocksrllle and Taylors
vllle to Plowing Rock, where we
spent Sunday. From there by way
of Morganton we went to Aahevllle
where w*> vlalted the Rlltmore eatate
and Inspected Its dairy.
"Canton was our next atop and
out from Canton we aaw H A. Oa
bornf'a herd of Guernseys. aald to be
the finest In tho State.
"Canton waa as far weat as wa /
reached, with only two countle* be-1

Attacks Theories
Of Higher Critics
IUit. Thurston Price Would Face
The Knemy In The Open He
Smjn In An Add rem*
Lake Junaluska, Aug. 29.?A man
can be both an evolutionist and a
Christian, (but only when he la neither
a strong Christian or a deeply con
vinced evolutionist, declared Rev.
Thurston B. Price, evangelist, in a
sermon this morning at the Bible and
E/vangellstic conference, with which
the Southern .Methodist Summer As
sembly will come to a close next Sun
day.
"What will the Higher Critics do
with Jesus Christ" was Rev. Mr.
Price's subject. He selected as
his text the words of Pilate at the
trial of Christ before his crusiflxlon
?Matthew 27: 22?"What "Shall I
do then with Jesus, who is called I
Christ."
There Is today, the preacher said,
a movement against Christianity !
called "higher criticism." which he :
declared could be much better named
"destructive criticism." The Bible,
he said, "will stand or fall a com
pleted plan."
"The day of Robert Ingersol and I
Tom Paine were palmy days for!
the church of Cod compared with I
todsy." he told his congregation. !
"For in those days we had the enemy
of a real Christianity fighting out In
the open, marching under their own !
flag, while today they are getting #o ;
Intermingled with our own folk' and
are preaching so much real truth '
(and a half truth is more dangerous
any time than a wjiole lie) that we
hardly know when it is safe to shoot
or who to shoot at, for fear wo will
unjustly Injure some brother Christ
ian who may only differ with us in
?interpretation.' which of course,
would be the rankest sort of Intol
erance.
Speaking of the theory of evolu
tion, Rev. Mr. Price said. "If evolu
tion of man from a ground worm
(they have dropped the ape theory
now) Is true, then there was no
?fall of man!' If no fall, then no need
for the 'the one perfect man. or sec
ond Adam." If man evoluted from
animals, and animals have no (mor
tal soul, then when and how did ihan
get an Immortal soul?"
In making the statement that a
man cannot be both a strong Christ
ian nnd a deeply convinced evolution
ist the evangelist declared that
Christianity and the evolution theory
could not-fee-reconclled under logical
analysis.
KLANSMAN BURIED
BY KOBED BKETIIKEN
Pittsburgh. August 29?Klansman
Thomas E. Abbott, murdered In riot
ing last Saturday night at Carnegie,
was burled here yesterday with hun
dreds of Klansmen present and min
isters attired In full Klan regalia of
ficiating.
ed the salient or distinctive feature*
of the particular breed of stock on
that farm were pointed out and ex
plained, and I believe that the value
of the course that the boys are to
take this year In animals husbandry
will be greatly enhanced by the trip.
??But the value of the trip, In my
opinion. Is not to be meanured In
terms of knowledge to be gained in
any claws room. This was the first
time these Currituck youngsters had
seen the mountains. Western North
Carolina to them was everything be
yond Raleigh, Just as Eastern North
Carolina to people In the mountains
who have never been to the coast Is
everything beyond Winston-Salem.
Now they know the true significance
of 'The Land of the 8ky,* and have
gained a new respect for their own
State.
"The return trip was made by way
of Hendersonvllle, Chimney Rock.
Shelby, Oastonla, Charlotte. Rock
Ingham, Plnehurst and Raletgh. At
Plnehurst we visited the Plnehurst
dairy and saw Ita Ayrshire cattle and
Berkshire hogs. We camped at Lake
view. and there the boys enjoyed
bathing and swimming. At Raleigh
we visited State College, paying par
ticular attention to the dairy farm.;
We also visited the capltol building
but could not get Into the hall of \
history or the State museum, as both'
were closed when we passed through i
on account of the President's funeral.'
We a I so went over the grounds and
buildings at St. Mary's, Meredith and
Peace."
"You seem to have stopped at ev
ery point of Interest in the State ex
cept Elisabeth City," said Ihe busi
ness man to whom Mr. Elliott was
telling his story.
"Yes," Was the answer, "and we
Intended to come by Ellaabeth City.
But I was afraid of the expense of
the ferry at Edenton and I did not
know the road so well by Wllllama
ton and Edenton. and a? there had
been a good deal of rain we chose
the roote by Emporia, Virginia, with
which I Waa familiar."

Ten Counties Have
Tested All Cows
Are Now Fully Proterted Against
Spreading Of Tuberculosis
By Milk
ftalelgh, Aug. 29.?The milk sup
ply of ten countlea in North Caroli
na is now fully protected against the
spreading of the great white -plague,
tuberculosis, the cows of these coun
ties all having been tested, released
and passed by officials of the State
Department of Agriculture, accord
ing to a report made public today by
Dr. A. J. Fosset, Inspector in charge (
of this work. Inapections have been ,
completed in three other counties, he
said, and these will be recommended '
for release this month. Fifteen,
other counties have made appropria
tions for carrying on this work in
conjunction with the Agricultural
Department and North Carolina State
| College and Inspections are now go-i
:lng on In nearly all of them, he add
ed.
"Our records show," Dr. DeFos
j set continued, "that less than two I
: per cent of the cattle In North Caro
lina have tuberculosis at this. time. j
|This is in contra~? to some of the!
states In the north, where from 21 I
[to 40 per cent tuberculosis is com
mon. I could go out in Vermont, I
I where I was stationed previous to
:coming to North Carolina, and find
[ more cattle infected with tubercu
losis in one afternoon than we have
l found here in a month's time.
"North Carolina is wise to begin 1
_ln time to eradicate this dreaded
j disease. The people have shown
'wisdom by wanting thn work carried
[on. They will profit by the exper
ience of the northern states. Where
i we find tutberculosis cattle In North
Carolina we can generally trace it to
I Importations from some of the worst
j Infected centers. For that reason
j those who buy cattle from other
states should make sure that they
jare getting them from accredited
herds. This will safegua/d their
purchases and also the cattle already
on their farms."
i Along with his praise, however. !
Dr. De.Fosset finds something to '
| criticise, for ho says, "I am disap
I pointed, however, to find so few cat
tle^oji_lhe farms In North Carolina.
With its climate and ideal conditions
for year 'round grazing, this state
could be made a great cattle breed
ing state. These cattle could be
used to restock those farms in the
north which will have to get a new
supply when the owners clean out
their tuberculosis cows. From what
;I have seen since coming to this
Htate to succeed Dr. Paul Vaughn I
am sore that North Carolina needs
more cattle. We are trying to make I
health conditions better for these I
cattle so that the herds may ho built \
up without danger of Infection by i
, tuberculosis.
Every month for the past 15. Dr.
DeFosset said. North Carolina has
l??d In the other states of the union!
In the number of herds tested fori
tuberculosis. In July the workers j
of State College and the State-Fed-1
I eral department of agriculture test-|
ed 2.582 herds comprised of 6.246
head of cattle. To date Hitnconvbe ?
Cabarrus, Cumberland, Davidson,

ness to the shooting and who was

which will be complete within a year.
Mr. Taylor, who has struggled I

and made good with it, sees the pos- j
pibilities of a flne theater property on
Main street, which was the purpose^
of the Edenton' Auditorium Company.
The company, being composed of
local citizens, was not in favor of
putting up a competitive amusement
house and so the sale of the property
to Mr. Taylor is a very happy solu
tion of the matter.
Edenton will get a flne opera
house. Mr. Taylor will get a theater
that will make him money an<^ main

ON BICYCLE HE TOWED
PARTNER TO BERKLEY
To pedal a bicycle to Virginia
Beach is rather more of an under
taking than the average Elizabeth
City boy would ask for, but to make
the greater part of the distarice with
a companion in tow was the experi
ence of Oscar Williams of Elizabeth j
City this week.
Oscar Williams and Graham Hed-1
rick, each about 17 years of age, left
Elizabeth City Sunday on their hi-1
cycles to spend their vacation camp- j
Ing at Virginia Beach. Five miles
from the city in Camden County |
young Hedrick had the misfortune to
break a pedal and could no longer'
make any headway under his own .
power. Young Williams thereupon
took his partner in tow and with '
such help as Hedrick could give him i
with one pedal towed the latter to
Berkley, where the damaged bicycle
was repaired.
T'ndaunted the young cyclists then
continued on to their destinations

Carolina Apples To
Go To Apple Show
Stale Horticulturist In Kndeavorbig
To Have Adequate Display
From North State
Raleigh, August 19?=Xpple grow
ers of Virginia, Maryland and Penn
sylvania have already completed
plans for entering exhibits at the
Eastern Apple Exposition and Fruit
show in NYw York. November 3 to
10, and if financial arrangements can
be made, the apple growers of North
Carolina nlso will send exhibits to
the exposition, It was announced to
day by C. D. Matthews, chief of the
| Division of Horticulture for State
(College and the Department of Ag
riculture.
Mr. Matthews said he would en
deavor to arrange for fruit growers
of the State to supply the exhibits,
while members of his organization
would have charge of them at New
York. The only thing lacking now
to advertise North Carolina's fruit
possibilities, he said, Ih money with
which to finance the exhibit.
"The exposition." he continued "Is
the dramatlce feature of an educa
tional movement for the better grad
ing. packing and marketing of fruit
extending ovCr all the eastern applo
growing states. The eastern apple,
so delicious in flavor, has lagged be
hind the western apple so long In
methods of handling that In most
eastern cities It has practically dis
appeared from the fruit stand and Is
only to be found In the back of the
grocery store along with potatoes
and turnips. This Is an effort to get
hack on the fruit stand.
"The first floor of the exposition
building will he taken up with edu
cational exhibits by states, and com
mercial exhibits of Individuals and
co-operative marketing association*
showing only such fruits as the
growers are prepared to-sell In quan
tity graded and packed exactly as
they are selling commercially. Or
ders may be taken and goods sold on
the floor. Honey, maple, syrup, and
nuts also will be exhibited and sold
In commercial nnck
"The second floor of the Exposi
tion building will he occupied by
allied Industries: Canned goods,
dried fruits, vinegar, cider, farm Im
plements and erittlpment, fertilizer**,
nursery tree*, fungicide*, Insectldes,
wrappers, labels .containers of wood,
glass. tin. and fiber, Most of the
space already has been taken.
"The legislature of New York
state and some of the New England
state* made liberal appropriations to
asslut the growers of their states In
this educational program that In
cludes an educational committee In
each state and an organised plan to
market all fruit* an near hom#? as b
possible to save transportation coats.
In Massachusetts where the legisla
ture made no appropriation, the State
Horticultural Society with the aid of
the manufacturers, business and
chamber of cnmiix-rri' men. raised
their own fund*. In Pennsylvania
the exposition movement centers
around the llurke County Fair."
