FOR GOD, FOR COUNTRY AND FOR TRIUTH.” o Crpy - C.nt5i VOL. 36 PLYMOUTH, N.C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1924 NO. 7 * THE LE AM AN- COSTON MEETING* A REAL UNION CAMPAIGN People of a mg’ an Enthus iastic Inf' eat Changes For Coe ! Evideron all Sides * :EV M EL ‘Jf. The Leaman-Coston campaign whichbegan here on the night of the 8th is a real union campaign. n the churches of the town are putting their shoulders to the wheel and have struggled hard to make if the success it has been. And the results that have been attained are to the mind of the writer fundamental, far reaching and lasting. Many church members have re dedicated their lives and have been spiritually strengthened and livened. Many dead wires have been recharg ed and promised to be live wires :n the future. Many who have never af filiated themselves with the church have taken the important step and have given themselves to Christ. The record up to Sunday night shows there have been 447 who have rededicated their lives and are tak~ ing their step to live for Him. The results of the meeting are not only in the town of Plymouth, bu s.'i till:- taction as well. You can now f;o into certain business houses m Plymouth where, before the meeting you could hear cursing on every side, but now you seldom hear an oath fall from any man’s lips. A certain business man in town made the statement in the prayer meeting Monday night that there was a joins' man to entei his place of bii iness and used an oath and that the clerk spoke immediately and said: “we don’t allow cursing in here now.” That is what our town is going to be for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and lie men of Plymouth are going to see that such rot is pu down in the town that Plymouth may be known as a God fearing and God serving town. No definite time for the close of the meeting has been announced, but it is practically certain that it will continue for several clays, yet. THE FAIR By Douglas Malloch. We wrest no subterranean store from out of caverns deep and dark, Nor with the blood-red hand of war make harvest of a nation s tears. Ours is the wealth of God’s good soil, and on his earth we leave no mark But furrows of the farmer’s toil, the business of a thousand years. Here we assemble what wo grew, here we have gathered of the yield, The products of the work we do, our answer to the ones who ask. These are the children of the seed, arisen in tire ie; i i!e field, A world of weary ones to feed—a noble duty, honest task. Even in joy of labor done we have our hour for deeper thought, To see the glory of the sun in smiling fruit and golden grain; E’en in the frolic of the fair we realize how God has wrought Till herds increase and blossoms bear, fed by his sunshine and his rain. All mindful of our work again another season yet to be, Let us come forth rejoicing then to pass a merry week away—■ Proud of the treasures that are ours, with merriment and industry Taking of earth both fruit and flowers, taking of life both work and play. I HALLOWE’EN BAZAAR The Boy Scouts of Plymouth will hold their annual Hallowe’en Bazaar on Monday night in their quarters ia the Hampton Academy. It. was planned to held this ba zaar tonight, but has been post poned on account vf the revival meeting now in progress. It is hoped that the people will patrohize this affair. It is i very worthy. Gas Holme:; of Creswell, was here Monday. Mr. O. O. Jackson made a business trip to Creswell last Friday. DO YOUR DUTY; VOTE! On next Tuesday from sunrise to sunset the eyes of the entire nation will be turned from regular pur suits and habits to the business of selecting the men and women v/io will control and direct the govern mental life of The l nited States. Huge sums of money and gre\t corps of workers are used m an ef fort to influence 'it votes of the people. There are some, of course, who rnay be influenced in one man ner or another, and there is s.ill a larger number who have deep and set political convictions. It is an important patriotic duty of every qualified voter to go to the polls on election day and cast a vote for his preference of the aspir in, s. If ail the people would realiz-' and execute this duty there would be more satisfaction in the officers elect ed, ond so-called “rings” would nor exist to such a large extent as is claimed. There would be less dis satisfaction among the people as a whole also, for in that manner and that manner only can the absolute wishes of the majority be realized. We hope that the people of Wash ington county will go to their respec tive polling places and cast a vote governed by their honest opinions. Remember—next Tuesday—lay a side everything else until you have placed your ballot in the box. SKINNEKSVILLE NEWS Mr. Joe White caught a deer last Friday evening in Miss Callie Tark ington’s field.

Mr. Holmes Makes Statement I have been careful during the past few weeks to avoid answer ing several uncomplimentary re ferences that have been made against me beca se of my can didacy fo- the office of treasurer of Washing'on County. Manyef these reference s have beeh made bv men who call themselves Democrats in an effort to cause | my downfall, I can attribute this only to the fact that I was the successful of three candidates for nomination in the primaries I wish to state that had I been defeated 1 would have thrown my vigor into the campaign in an effort to elect the successful! Democratic candidate. Rev. J. S. Williams, of the Ro per section, made remarks to my friends, Messrs. E. F. and J. W. Spruill, yesterday stating that I had made the statement that the politics of Washington county were carried by me in a bottle, and that I only had to extract the cork to attain the results I desired. I do not know just what kind of a bottle he had reference to, nor do I know of any sort of a bottle that would safely pre serve the votes of the people for one individual. Maybe the reve rend Williams can explain. It is my opinion that any per-, son so violently interested in politics would certainly go to the source of things to obtain the facts before condemning a per son. And right here I wish to rf V-/ - c - con * ■ ■ v . .j f > I have announce] ; iy c mdidacy to* the office of shetiff to the voters of Washingt' a C mnty in an earlier edition of this paper, and I now wish to urge my friends to support me in the election A'hich will be held next Tuesday, November 4th. I have been in office, oniy a short time and I conscientiously be lieve that; I have faithfully and efficient^ executed the duties of that office. The records of my conduct are on file in their proper places in the court house, and I will be pleased to have any per son or persons search through them carefully, and if there are any discrepancies existing it would be much belter for the public to get them from an authentic source than from the lips of others who may oppose my election. Those records will speak for them selves and Stand out clearly upon the books of the county, and people have the rh ht to know them and it is my wish that every person in the county know the exact and accurate status of affairs. The quickest and s: siest manner in whi 'h to get them is to go to the county records. I will sincerely appreciate the vote and support of my friends, and this appreciation will not only exist on election day but will c o n t i n u e i n ■; 1 e f i i i i ‘ e i y. Appreciatively, 1 tti1’ • [Political Advertising] stale thathe reports, hat have • been circulated tv-mov: ina r y • conduct in office are inf moua 1 lies an ill ieve in vile mouths. I am the i'iemoiatic candidate for treasurer of Washington county, and I will appreciate the votes and support, of the people; and n.y confidence .. ; ie has not been desit .yui oy such j false reports that have been cb> euiated by p. .;ple w . I believe have a venomous desire 10 ties tvi y me to s .lis:\ a personal am* . i.ion.
