WONDERFUL SCENE
AT CLOSE OF MEET
Hundred* of People Pay Tribute to
R?:v. Baxter F. McLeiidon
at Great Falls
Great Falls, S. C., Oct. 30. ? .
While five thousand people were
waving their handkerchiefs and
?:r\Kinw. "God Ue With You Till We
Meet Again," the curtains were runs
down on Cyclone Slack's evenagelis
tie campaign .here, bringing to a
< ioie the most remarkable and
memorable event in the town's his
tory. The scene was one which
marked the blending of tears and
smiles, sorrow and joy, happiness and
h?nrt nehes that comes at the time
o I parting with new made friends.
For more than an hour after the
benediction, great crowds remained
to shake hands, say good-bye and to
express words of appreciation to
Mack and the individual members
of his party. There's no doubt about
it, the Cyclone Mack aggregation
certainly carries away with them,
the best wishes and the prayers of
thousands of people in the continu
ation of their wonderful work.
A survey of the cards made to
day, indicate that as -a result of the
campaign, more than 500 new mem
bers will be added to city churches,
*200 or more to rural churches, while
churches in Chester, Lancaster,'
Winnsboro and other towns nenr
here will receive something like 125. '
More than 800 reconsecrations were
registered, making a total of approx
imately 1C00 conversions during the
live weeks of the campaign.
A parade, led by Mack and Chief
of Police, J. C. Steele, to the after
noon service, consisting of the con
verts of the campaign, was approx
imately one mile long. In the pro
cession were old men, old ladies,
fathers and mothers, and in some in
stances entire families, with but a
very small crowd of children bring
ing up the rear of the march.
Ohi*f J. C. Steele who last Sun
('? V announced a tremendous reduc
* :on in the number of arrests and,
fines paid, said yesterday that not a
single arrest or a fine had been made
during the last week of the cam
This, he said, is something
never before heard of in Great Falls
Chief Steele's remarks were direct
ed to the good that McLendon's cam
paign had been to the town. ;

. ":cn the Boys Got the Joyful News
Nine years ago, November 11, 1918, much of the civilized world forgot
nearly every other emotion except an unbounded joy at the news that an
armistice had been declared in the World war. Photograph shows a group
of men of Company M. Sixth infantry regiment, fifth division, stationed
near R.-moiville, France, upon receipt of the news.

Thought for the Day
Aii,:sihe diiyf Just one minute

.. . . ii.ii*
NOW THAT NINE
YEARS ARE GONE
Armistice Day Is Largely
a Time of Personal
Remembrance.
Nine years ago the armies of the
allies niul of Germany were engaged
in the last battles of the World war.
The armistice called on November 11.
1S118, has as yet been only an armis
tice ? a stacking of arms ? with peace
on earth existing precariously at times
and In various localities.
By custom Armistice day has be
come a day of remembrance. We
stand for two minutes' silent, to re
flect on those years. In ail the con
fusion, distress and poverty, lefi ns
its aftermath, the purposes for which,
presumably, the war was waged have
been pushed aside by more immediate
pressing problems of national Interests
caused by the war.
There have been riddles of econom
ics, polities and national aDd persona!
ambitions, to add to the confusion.
Combined, these clashing forces have
rendered impossible the fulfillment of
our war nims and much of the time
have so obscured them that we forget
what they were, or that we ever had
any.
Desire to Forget War.
Americans have had anotbei ob
stacle to a clear understanding of
J i lie war. The battlefields are In Eu
| rope, inaccessible to us, except foj
! tourists, but a constant reminder on
I i lie European's doorstep. Save for fain
I ilios and friends directly interest ef1
! we see little trace of the effect of
i the war upon our men. We have been
I prosperous. Our skins were hardly
I scratched by the war. And we re
i covered quickly ? so quckly that the
' war seems like a bad dream we wish
, to forget as soon as we may.
i The shouting and tumult have died.
Armistice day lias become a time of
' personal remembrance, dedicated to
tiie individual. We lay our offering
of respect at the tomb of the Unknown
I Soldier in an effort to demonstrate our
' admiration for the endurance, courage
? and determination of common men
We do not send up paeans for our
j glorious victory, for we arc sure nei
ther of the glory nor the victory. Re
| Jolcing at the end of a dreadful night
! mare was the general emotion at tin
i close of hostilities and It has ro
: malned the common sentiment,
i Now the world Is recovering slowly
| from its shell shock and we begin to
see the war in perspective as the thins
' of horror it was. After the artnis
| tice it was safe to assume that thosi
' soldiers who had had most active
| service, talked least of their expe
j rionces. There was nothing they could
? say. except to tell the things they were
! trying to forget. Memory of war to
1 them was mental anguish.

Kaleigh, Nov. 2.? A si ate- wide

joii.e of representatives of farm or
! i-anizat inns' wljioh was held following
j action taken by the fanners of North
I I arolina at the last State conven
:tion. The committee last week had
la harmonious meeting in which fi'ie
> tion predicted over the adoption of
, the American Farm Bureau Kedera
j t ion as the national organization to
i be brought into the state failed to
j develop. The committee agreed
| that steps would be taken imme.di
jaicly to begin the organization of
' .'armors and that this organization
j work would be done by the farm*. ;s
| themselves. An executive commerce
I of nine members was appointed to
j work out plans of procedure. Tit -t
| plans were adopted by the general
I committee.
In general, the plan is to feder
I :i'e communities and neighborhoods
Into a county organization with a
1 ..ular adopted constitution and by
laws. This county organization is
'o 1) > known as the Agricultural As
sociation of County. When
-j counties are so organized, the
committee will form a state organ
ization to be known as the North
Carolina State Agricultural Associa
tion. In an.v event, this state-wide
association will be formed following
the organization quarter which ends
on April first. Then the state or
ganization will adopt its own consti
'r.t:c.i> and by-laws and will decide
whither or not it wishes to affiliate
with any existing national farm or
ganization.
At the same time an organization
of. the business groups of farmers
will be formed and this, together with
the new organization and the old or
ganizations such as the Alliance, the
Union and others, will form a state
council of farm organizations. Chas.
F. Cates of Mebane is chairman of
the organization committee.
| Raleigh, Nov. 2. ? Soybeans plant
I ed with corn has increased the
yield per acre of the corn in at
! least one instance in North Caro
lina.
The demonstration was made by
W, .M. Green of Troy in Montgomery
county. Mr. Green began a soil
| building demonstration with county
f.gent O. R. Carrithers last spring.
| lie planned to build up his soil by
i int'uding soybeans with his corn so
I that the crop residue might be
linvn^d under. No soybeans was
| planted in part of the corn for pur
poses of comparisons.
j According to E. C. Blair, exten
sion agronomist, at State College.
. v/ho reported the demonstration,
[where no soybeans were grown, Mr.
i Green planted his corn in rows, four
; ." jet apart with the stalks standing
uO inches apart in the row. In con
trast to this, he planted the other
corn in rows six feet apart and 20
inches apart in the row. Then on
'the same day, he planted O-too-tan
soybeans between the rows of the
latter corn. This gave the same
number of corn hills per acre wheth
er with or without soybeans.
All the corn was fertilized alike.
This means that the corn and soy
beans received one-third more fer
tilizer nn acre because the rows were
closer together. The corn made good
growth under both conditions. The
soybeans grew from four to five feet
high and spread enough to complete
ly cover the ground. After the
corn was ripe, says Mr. Blair, two
rows having soybeans between them
were gathered and weighed against
three rows without the soybeans.
T'lio yi?lc' per acre was 35 bushels of
corn with the beans as compared to
?25 bushels per acre without the
beans.
Mr. Blair states that in addition
'o the 10 bushels of corn gained per
there will be addoQ benefits in
vears to come due to the great
amount of legume vegetable matter
j "iowe.l under this fall for soil im
provement.
It is almost as difficult to hid.- a
.rough as it is to hide love.
