Cohoon Kclurniii^ from Visit lo Wmli'rn Dairy Section Say? Ka.-lrrn < aroliiui lias Bui Touchcd Hem of Prosjperity'a Garment Pasquotank farmers could well afford to incur the expense of chartering a train to run an ox-l cursion of Pasquotank farmers I from Elizabeth City to Catawba 1 County, in the opinion of F. p. j Cohonn, who has Just returned from a motor car tour of that county and other parts of Wes t em North Carolina. "We think we are making groat progress in this section." I ?ays Mr. Cohoon, "but a trip into Catawba County would show our farmers how far they have yet to go to attain the prosperity' thut la enjoyed by dairy farmers of the western part of the State." Mr. Cohoon wan particularly lin preaeed with the farm of Robert mis. Shuford, where milk from a | W fine big herd of pure bred cows and manufactured Into Ice cream right on the farm brings in a gross revenue of f-IO.UOO a year. Mr. Shuford not only pro duces the milk but manufactures the Ice required to keep his Ice cream factory in operation. In addition to this Mr. Shuford realize* five o^ six thousund a year, according to Mr. Cohoon from the sale of calves from his herd, and makes a big cotton crop besides without any commer cial fertilizer, as his herd of cows aolves the fertilizer problem. The dairy cow. according to Mr. Cohoon. has brought prosper ity on such a scale into Catawba County that mansions have re placed log cabins and plenty and affluence have replaced penury and poverty. "I did not see a mongrel flock of chickens in the entire county. ' says Mr. Cohoon. "Every flock was pure-bred and Cutawba County captured 910.000 In Fait premiums this year at fairs In this and other states. That $10, 000, however, was a mere drop In the bucket compared to the value of the advertising that Catawba County got out of the exhibit. To day Catawba chickens may bo counted upon to bring better than market prices because they are advertised and known to be milk fed. ^ "Nolther did I see whllo In the county a single farm home I vlslt ^ed that was not lighted by electri u city. The section is blessed with ** hydro-electric power and the farmers lights not only their homes but their bafns, their poul try houses and their very barn yards by electric power." "Coal In this section has llltle value for power purposes. Almost every bridge you ride over in crossing the streams Is built on top of a dam which harnesses th'? water to furnish hydro-electric power not only for mills and fac tories, but for private homes as well. "Nearly 20 years ago Walter J. Shuford organised a co-operative creamery at Hickory which has since grown to bo the largest in the South, buying and shipping hogs, poultry and eggs as well a* butter, and thus affording the dairy and poultry farni'-r a mar ket for all his products. These products How Into Hickory over good roads from long distances by motor truck. Butter from this creamery is sold In Elizabeth City. "The country In Catawba Is si. different from ours that one feels at first that he Is no longer In North Carolina; but as he mingles with the people he soon begins to feel at home. The old Albemarle country In Its palmiest days t\f long ago?the antebellum period *?never exhibited more overflow ing hospitality than do these pied mont people, and every man of them Is a walking and talkini; ad vertisement of this county and town. "Their roads are the finest I ever saw. built out of the shal< ,loB below the surface of the Hp>ll as does clay In this section. Was driven out In an automo olie on a morning aftor a heavy rain, and tho roads showed not a g??f '1' effects from the raln 'John Robinson of Hickory' seems to bo one of the leading spirits of tho county. He la pres Mtfit of the Catawba Fair Asso elation and Mrs. Robinson is sec retary. They devised the plans and organised the show exhibits of poultry and other livestock which toured this State and psrts of other states, exhibiting at all the biggest fairs and taking pre mium? wherever they went.

' SEES AMERICA HEADED TO WAR (Governor Swrpt of Colora do llnjcs <l!iri tiumzin^ International Hrlalions lo ! Further Universal IVaco. ?! Atlanta, Dec. I>. ? "Recent events strongly indicate that America is preparing for tho next war. and that the smoke screen of preparedness is being used to lull the people Into ac quiescenco in the most extensive military program this country ? has ever adopted." ? Governor William E. Sweet of Colorado made this statement in an address on "Christianizing our International Relations" at to night's session of the Fourth Quadrennial Meeting of the Fed leral Council of Churches. The i churches, ho declared, are Indig nant at the attitude of Congress concerning Aremica's relations to .international peace. He critl "cised the recent "mobilization I day" as being designed to fix the attention of the nation on war. ; He praised the principles of Wood ! row Wilson ami declared that the responsibility for continuing the j crusadc for a warless world rests i upon the churches. "Tho most urgent question be fore the nations of the world to day is the establishment of univer ! sal peace," he said. "It is urgent nl^t only because war is wrong but ! because nations are rapidly for ; getting tho horrors of the World . War. With the return of normal conditions in 'Europe, the nations will revert to the ancient Idea that war Ik an entirely legitimate | method of settling international disputes and not to bo regarded1 with abhorrence. This viewpoint 1 Is becoming increasingly preva j lent in tho United State*. Recent t events strongly indicate that Am ! erica is preparing for th?* next 1 war and that the smoke screen of prepnradnesH Is being used to lull the people into acquiescence in the most extensive military pro gram this nation has ever adopt ed. "At the recent meeting ef tho !,eaque of Nations the most far reaching step which hus ever been i taken against war was adopted. J The nations solemnly declared .that aggressive war was an Inter national crime.' They severally undertook not to be guilty of Its commission. "It is a matter of profound re gret to many that the United Stales, not being a inemBer of the league of Sat ions, had no part in the discussion of the protocol. The political party which lias con trolled Congress during the past four years determined that no de bate on the question of our ad herence to the World Court should be permitted. Every act of the League Is now discussed by us from the standpoint of an outsid er and not as a member. Our criticism of tho recent protocol Is likely to be hypercritical and hos-' tile, instead of constructive nnd hdpful. Already attempts are be ing made to discredit It as an an 1 tl-American move on tho part of i the Japanese. "You will remember thnt a group of 30 distinguished citizens throughout the country, earnest 'advocates of the League of Na-J tions, issued a statement four j years ago during the presidential' I campaign, that the quickest way, j j In their opinion, to get America , Into the League wus to elect Mr. ! Harding. This the country did | with an overwhelming majority. ? Doubtless largo numbers of votes were cest for Mr. Harding In the 'belief that his so-called "Asso- ; elation of Nations" might lead to something definite, ltut noth ing came of It. I "Next we were told by Presi dent Coolldge. Wwc'jr Hughe? and I Mr. Hoover that America ought ! to Join the World Court. Hut the World Court resolution introduced into the Senate was promptly pi geon-holed by tho late Chairman of the Senate Committee on For eign Relations. Mr. Lodge, and President Coolldge did not think the matter of sufficient import I ante to press It upon tho attention of Congress. Senator U.irah's i resolution on the outlawry of war still reposes In the hands of the committee. "Now what have tho churches and the peace-loving people of America secured since the war as a result of all these promises? They have been handed "Motoill sstlon Day." Later It was re christened "I>efense l>sy." "Defense is always a safe po sition for the mllltsrlBt to as sume. ltut whatever the term' used, the purpose of the day is I the same- namely, to fix the it KAll.IU> \l> < D.NMILIDATION llll.l.

P. f. tentloa of the nation on war and j so to Inventory our resources as to }?how how utterly unprepared for conflict America really is. The i churches objected to tho plan vig orously and courageously opposed It. For doing so they havo been railed unpatriotic and paclfiatlc. Many individuals, myself among the nunrber because I refused to mobilize the Colorado National ' Ouard. wero sharply criticised by the proas. "It is the duty of the church to wage war against war unremit tingly and courageously. Chris tian people must be convinced that the settlement of Internation al disputes by force Is Inherently wrong, that It Is sinful, that It is unchristian. "There is no question but that Ibf Idea of the outlawry of war la! ruplilly gaining ground In Amorl-' cn. The Democratic Parly pledged all of its energies 'to the outlaw-; 1 iig of the whole war system.' President Coolldge In his speech of acceptance said that ho favored entering Into covenants for the purpose of outlawing aggressive war by any practical means. A durable |>eace can rest only upon Ibe outlawry of war. At present, nations sanction war. Tho rules ] of warfare are agreed upon and ' then promptly violated when w?r Is wnKcd. War Is now as much 1 a matter of international agree ment an International trade. 'Th?- movement to outlaw war is comparable to the abolition of slavery and to the prohibition of the liquor traffic In Its appeal to the Christian conscience. Christ ianity I? opposed to compromising with wrong, therefore the church es should unitedly advocate tho outlawry of war as being the only method hy which war can be abolished. "When once aroused, no agency enn tnould public opinion so for cibly ss tho church. Tho church helped mightily to abolish slavery. It helped mightily to achieve na* tlonal prohibition. I "Once tho church thinks straight 'and unitedly on a moral Issue there I? a dynamic power in It which rannot be over-estimated. "The Christian passion for justice demands that no Injustice b#? done by an? people. The Christian passion for justice de mands that a stronger nation shall not subject a weaker one to humiliation or loss of national sovereignty becauso. forsooth. It has the power to do so. No solu tion of the problem of war Is ade quale which does not fully recog nise nstlonal obligations as well as national rights. "Thf Ideal for which Woodrow Wilson Rave his life can not die. A lover of peaca, ho hated war. Mindful of the human cost of war. he waged ft with all his might that the peaco wrought might end war. Let no man say that his puspose has failed. "With unerring Judgment Woodrow Wilson nought to direct the attention of the world to the spirit of Christ aa the only power capable of redeeming civilization The nations must learn the futil ity of force and the power of love, l.'pon the church rnsts the solemn responsibility of leading s crusade for a warleas world to the end thit peace and good will may ev erywhere abound. Surely this Is the true mission of the church of the living Christ." Beauty and a Couple Beasts Prcocntlnr nrmlr U.lk-ntync, the b. Ihl. 1>vo si?.

Th? short *?: JUDGE IMPOSES DEATH SENTENCE Judp- Sinclair Srndtt An Kli-clric Cliuir Two Nf liriir? whi> Murdrred Cho wan Kurmrr <>n Highway. Kdenton, Doc. 9.?The Superior Court of Chowan County, Just | ended, ha* written on the pages of thiM county one of the most re markable terms of court ever held In this city. Cndor the careful guidance of Judge Sinclair, of FnyettevlUa. who In believed to be one of the best judges to ever have eerred in thin court. passed sentences of denth In two Instances and two years on the roads in three oth ers. breaking up for good one-of | the most threatening menaces to thix community?a conspiracy of highway robbery. The murderers of Sam Small, David Jones und George Russell, will pay for the deed they com initted by forfeiting their life on January 30lh, 1925. Judge Sin clair delivered their death sen tence Saturday afternoon as the lights of the day were gradually i sinking into the bay. The picture was Impressive on all that stood or sat In the court room. Judge Sinclair In his matter-of-fact bnt stern voice, after having the de cision of the jury of "Guilty of murder in the first degree" on David Jones and George Russell, pronounced upon those two muN derern the penalty of death. Snm Small, a prosperous farm er of this community. living on his own homestead near the Wild Cat Road, was known to always carry a little money on his person and so when George Russell and Dav id Jones held him up with inteat to rob, there was no Idoa, It to thought, on the part ol the now convicted men that ho would re Mint the robbery. When 'he got down from the wagon he wag shot. Which man shot Small la unknown oven now. Sam Small had always been A widely known citixen of this com munity, and when the news reached town that he had been killed and yet not robbed, a mob at once wont to' the scene, and had they been able to have got hold of David Jones or Georga Russell, or both on that night. It is evident that a lynching party would havo resulted. The two murderers were only a part of a gang of five negro** who had handed together for tha express purpose of robbery. Tto conspiracy that they formed sent the other three to tho roads for two years. They are Vass Lam beth. Wllmer Ileasley and William Suinmerell. It Is hoped that tho severity of the sentence Imposed on the mur derers may lead those who ar* hereabouts who plan such a j'fe In this community to take warn ing from tho sentences meted out lo those two unfortunates who shall give their liven for the mur der of Samuel Small.
