Mr who wired Instruction from ?Wisconsin for the Board to meet [nd give preliminary conaidera }oa to the question. so thai all ight be perfectly familiar with r? j. on his return, when the Board Jo expected to take definite action. |j?overnor McLean did not indi te when he was leaving for Ra igh, but it is believed that he 1 be bark within a few days, lyway by the end of the week. What action la contemplated by Board has not yet been deter Ined and will not be until flov nor McLean returns, although bose who have been looking into matter with regard to the ^on ^fcoveray, are convinced that North Carolina, according to it* con v it h the text book puhlish ra. is entitled to the name prices j florth Carolina contract specifies oat no other state shall be given lower rate on book**, and that if lowor rate is given, it shall apply jo North Carolina also. It Is said that the book puhtlsb rs maintain that the priced quot in Tennessee are wholesale pri whllc in North Carolina the :es quoted are retail prices. iliey also maintain that in ennessee they assist In I lie dis tribution of the hooks, while In forth Carolina they do not, inas uch as they are sent on a con Jgnmrnt basis to the State Depos itory. which they say is the dis Tlbuting agent. However, it is believed that the tate has ample grounds upon hlch to demand that the same ates be granted here as in Ten j&essee, and it is regarded as cer tain that the Board of Education will demand that the puMi In is make their prices here conform to those In Tennessee.

Then it was that observers watching the scene saw the face of Josiah Klliott, Tor all of Its deep lim-s as guileless as the face ? of a child, light up with joy and affection. The two veterans stood rilent for n moment with clasped hand* and then walked up the aisle toother.

Many were the reminiscences indulged in by the two veterans before they naid goodbye at the home of I lev. A. A. Ilutlcr in Hert ford in the late afternoon.. Here is4, one of the stories told hy Mr. 1'eele: "My first charge afl< r entering it he ministry was down in Hcnu j fort County. On a dark ami , gloomy nluiiT . wiili the rain fa 1 1 ing in a dreary ilrlzzlc. but when' Jibe hour for prayer service cam*" I ? wenl down to an old grange hall 'which wan our place of meeting. Wi' had no church bouse then. I had been on the field at that time nigh unto two years and had met a handful of folks on Sunday* and a smaller handful OR Wednesday nights. On the night I am think ing of a little hoy. the son of my host, went with mo lo this prayer service. We were pals, and lie us ually followed me like a shadow. I was more than glad to hnve him. because he nave me a hold on the promise that where two or thre? are met In the Master's Mine He' will he In Ihe inid^t. > "The hoy and I were the first | and the last on thai niclit. I sang ! a tolo, because the hoy didn't I sing. I felt that I had come to ; the end of my rope, and I didn't care If the rope hunt; me. I sang ' "What a Friend We Have in Jes- j us" and was not conscious of hav- j 1 1 ii k any other friend, and doubly. ' conscious lhat He only could help me. As I finished the closing | i verse I heard the sound of a foot step on tiie sidewalk. No music was ever sweeter. I felt that my. loneliness would he broken by one lolhor human being. "Then the door opened slowly i and slightly as well. The first thing I naw was a mouth, the long- 1 , est it seemed that I had ever seen, j Then a chin, and lastly a flat nose and receding forehead. It was the I face of a m-gro, black a* the ace of spade*. The hlack fetched a 1 i grunt which I can still hear and [ . which seemed to me lo express the ! 'contempt of the world, the flesh; and the devil- -and even the church. I felt like the offscour- j in?s of all things, and the fooimnt of the nil of Adam's race. I fell myself going down, down. In mis erable failure and that annihila tion would Ik* a blessed relief. 1 "llut before I went completely) under I found my feet on the Rock of aces and the Everlasting Arms; underneath me. My extremity j was God's opportunity. I said , with Job "Though lie slay me, yet j will I trust Him." . "My work began on that night. In three years I had built two' churches and had begun a third, and baptized a hundred believers. One of my presetting points was Jsck's Neck, which was then a log school house with a log cut out for a window and which Is now Helhaven." And here la an incident recalled bjr Joslah Klliott. "The Yeopim I'nlon was meet ing; at Keynoldsvllle, and I had been appoints*. to lead the open lot asrvlcs and Drothsr Pssls to Liberty With Auto License Law Ends In Police Court , Admittinr that alie had taken a decidedly unwarranted degr?e of liberty with the State autonuibil'* license law, l^ivle Lumndeti. ml ??red. was lined 15 and rosin In recorder'* court today.

IP-cause of Ills condition lie was not permitted to discuss his experiences. preach the introductory sermon. It VM my first experience in coo ducting such a service and I reck on It was one of llrotlier Peele's i first sermons. When the service was over and we were coming out j I overheard a prominent member of the church JuaC ahead of me who did not know I was within 1 hearing say: "Well, If that's a j fair sample of the new crop of preachers it's a gloomy prospect 1 for the ministry.' "Somebody told the brother that 1 was just behind him, and turning he saw me at his elbow. 'Aw, he don't care,' said the old . brother, not knowing how deep bin thoughtless remark had cut. I have never forgotten It. and I have always been careful not to wound or discourage h young Christian, hut have tried rather to encourage him." How well Joslah Elliott's policy of encouragement has worked Is Indicated by the large number of young men whom he has led Into the ministry, no less than ten lOOkllg to him as their father in the Oospel. Many of these Mr. Flllott, out of Ills own slender re I sources, has helped financially In their efforts to train themselves . for their calling. Joslah Rlllott and Bob PHfl preached their "trial aermons" at Iteynoldson Church In the Itocky Hock Pnlon of the Chowan Asso ciation early In 1*82 and were or dained Into the full ministry of the Oospel not long afterwards. It would be hard to find two preach ers In North Carolina who have built more churches or bapllxed more converts. Itob Peele who has been In !
