THE NEWS-RECORD, MARSHALL, N. C. BUR IMPS ARE PLACED IN HOTELS TOURISTS ADVISED OF ROAD CON DITIONS AND GIVES CHOICE ' OF ROADS. REPORTS ISSUED MONTHLY This Is New Service of State High wax Commission Which Became 'Effective With July Detours. , , ' ' Raleigh. ' The state highway commission, for the convenience of motoriBts, " has placed In the hotel lobbies of the state large maps of the detours in effect during each month. This Is a new service of the commission which be- - came effective with the July detours, ' The purpose of the maps, It is said, is to indicate to a traveler going from town to town where he will have to detour. A man at Greensboro travel lng to Raleigh, tor example, would only have to glance' at the map In Oreensborb and see If any detours are marked up on the Greensboro-Raleigh road. He would then be in a position to choose his road so as to avoid de- touring or, if two roads were not available, he would at least be advis ed of road conditions before he com ihenced the trip. . This service, it is believed, will be of great assistance to motorists pass ing through the state as, ' because of the great amount of road construction now In' progress, many, many roads are being replaced temporarily by de tours. ' The detour reports of the commls slon which are issued monthly may "be found In all public libraries of the state and will supplement the map so tar as giving the exact mileage and location of all detours is concerned. Large maps of the entire highway system of the state, It is stated, hava been furnished to such hotels - as would agree to display them promln ently in their lobbies. These maps give the route number and are plain' y marked .so that a trip through the state may be made by route numbers taken from the map, aided by the route number signs which are along the roads At frequent intervals. - Expecting Great Farm Convention, A good crowd of representative farmers and their wives will be pres- ent at the Farmers' and Farm Wo men's Convention at the State College on July 31 and August 1 and 2 accord lng to reports that are now being re ceived by James M. Gray, secretary of the convention. . Mr. Gray thinks that this Is because of the good pro gram which has been arranged ana because of the outstanding speakers 'which he has secured. The fact Is, however, that North Carolina farmers have become accustomed to attending the convention and those who want to swap experiences with their neigh bors are almost sura to come again The college, . as usual, is going to fur nish free lodging but the guests are expected to bring their toilet articles and bed linen. New Bern Labor Office Closed. Temporary .discontinuance of the .State Employment office at New Bern i was announced by M. L. Shipman, director of the Employment Service. Withdrawal of the appropriation made - by the American Red Cross imme diately after the disastrous fire in New Bern last December is, given as the reason tor abandoning the office, Assistance from the county or city will ensure its reopening. New Bern is omitted from'the1 list - of offices ; reporting placements dur ing the week, and the aggregate to tals announced are appreciably small er than the, placement sfor the preced ing week.' A total of 618 men and women applied for work, 675 employ ers asked for help, and 398 men ana 81 women were i found employment during the week, according to the- re port. ':'!;;...;i;,;'f-:.'.,iv..- I More than half the number placet) during the week were classed as un skilled labor, he figures being given ai 911. rne . oemaoa lor . uns&uiea labor is still, great, but the. number available during the week is taken as an indication that the exodus of negro laborers to the. north has been .checked, and that more of them are seeking work at home. " '- - ; Skilled labor ; maintains its second place in the line, and domestic help third, and clerical and professional si bad fourth. Not an office in the state has a skilled or unskilled laborer list ed for more than 24 hours at the tlme.t" -.. r., ; :': . rV Prohibition Director Makes Report. Salisbury. North Carolina moon-' shiners lost exactly 111 illicit distiller ies; 1.234 gallons of sum; 67,925 gal lons of malt liquor; 17 automobiles and property Valued at $30,000 during the month of June, according to the report'of activities of federal prohibi tion agents in the state, issued by State . Director RJ.D. Coltrane, who headquarters here. . 1 Sixty arrests were made and 138 prosecutions recommended. The mix ture of liquor and property - during June was smaller than April or May. Cotton Crop Is Most Promising. "The cotton' crop of North Caro lina is unusually promising consider lng the planting seasons and Is the largest In its history," according to a statement issued here by Frank Par ker, statistician of the co-operative reporting service of the United States and North Carolina departments of agriculture. The report is based on Information recived from 26 counties of the state. ', " ' "With the acreage at 103 per cent," says the report, "North ' Carolina shows the least Increase of any state. The average for the cotton belt is 1) per cent Increase. It Is reported that the increase would have been more had the April report not been given publicity. Tbat report showed the same acreage per cent according to the planting intentions of several thousand cotton farmers. It is fur ther recognised that It was the specu lator who suffered most by that 'in tentions' report, which indicated prospective planting. "The present condition ot 80 per cent of abnormal or full crop pros pect for 256 pounds per acre, if ap plied to the 1,703,460 acres,, means that the crop might be over 910,000 bales If the state conditions remain favorable. The boll wetv!l and ad verse . weather conditions must be reckoned with before early frost gets Its share. These figures are based on conditions now and ' do not in clude any but favorable influences to follow. The last crop made 350 pounds per acre and 851,000 bales. "There are estimated to have been planted in the United States the greatest acreage of any year, 38,287, 000 acres with a prospective yield ot 11,412,000 bales or 17 per bent in crease over tbe 1922 production. The present condition prospects are 1.3 per cent below last year's report and six per cent below the 10 year aver age. ' "The weather conditions in North Carolina have been unusually favor able for cotton during June. The re cent rains have helped to relieve the drought that might soon have be come serious, even on cotton.' The boll weevil has not become notice ably bad but Its. presence and activi ties are now claiming the attention of the southren cotton counties of the satte. Weevil Declared Not Poisonous. Inaulrles received by. the state board of health from widely separat ed sections ot the state Indicate a fear of the boll weevil that is entirely un fnnndfld The state board of health is advised that this pest of the cotton plant is without danger, other tnan the damage which 'it does to one of the state's leading farm products. The boll weevil is not poisonous. It does not Infest fruits or berries, nor any of the garden vegetables, such as corn, beans, cabbage, lettuce, okra. tomatoes, or the like. The only food that satisfies the appetite ot this insect Is the cotton boll, and it eats this preferably when young and tender, when the squares are Just forming. , Ponular superstition has enlarged the field of activity of this insect whfch Is having a revolution In the agricultural J1 habits- of the entire south. In some sections the weevil is reported in the blackberries. From another comes the report of having found it in the okra. A far eastern county attributed a serious illness to the weevil having been cooked along with some sanp beans. A Piedmont county thought it was infesting the cabbage. In all instances a consum Ins fear seems to have taken posses sion of some of the people lest the boll weevil take their lives. In answering such inquiries the state board of health has endeavor ed to reassure those unduly fearful with the definite statement that there Is nothing to fear from the boll weev- exceot the partial destruction or the cotton croi. The insect is not poisonous and Infests only the cotton plant. N. C Leading In Building. For the first time since March, 1922, the number of permits Issued tor new work in twenty-tour of the leading cities of the Fifth district was lower In May than the number issued dur ing the corresponding month of, the nrertous year, but , several North Carolina cities were among those fig uring in increases of newwork, ac cording to a study of tne Monthly Review ot the Richmond : Federal Reserve Bank Just made public here.

LESSON FOR JULY 22 JOHN THE APOSTLE LESSON TEXT Luke t:4-6; John 19:2.1-27: I John 4;7.8. . GOLDEN TEXT "'God la love; and he that cwelleth In love dwelleth In God, and Ood In him." I John 4:14. REFERENCE MATERIAL Mark 1:18-20; John 13:21-25; Acts 4:11-20 Rev. 1:9. PRIMARY 1 TOPIC The Dlsclpls Whom Jeeua Loved. JUNIOR TOPIC John, the Beloved Disciple. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC John, the Bosom Friend of Jesus, YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC A Character Study of John. I. His Intolerance of Irregular Serv ice (Luke 9:40,00). John was conscientious In his into! era nee of this disciple. There seems to have been no question but what the man was really casting out devils, even though he did not possess the same credentials as the twelve apos tles. There seems to have been no question as to the reality of the truth which this disciple taught or the work he did. The same; spirit has been man ifested all through the Christian cen turies. Whoever witnesses truly of Christ and does His work has God's recognition. Christ rebuked John's In tolerance and declared that "he that is not against us Is for us." May we everywhere show the same considera tion to those who are doing the Lord's work even though they are not mem bers of our particular church. ' II. John's Righteous Indignation (Luke 8:51-56). 1. Jesus' Face Set Toward Jerusa lem (vv. 51-53). He knew what was before Him. He knew the awful fate awaiting Him at Jerusaletn. Even though the dark shadow ot tbe cross hung across his path He resolutely nerved Himself for tbe ordeal. The cross was no accident. The supreme purpose of His coming was to save the world through His sacrificial death. This was In the plan of God from all eternity. The cross Is the grand center of the Christian religion, Everyone who follows Jesus must take up his cross. 2. The Inhospitable Samaritans (v, 53). The Lord was to pass through that city on His way to Jerusalem, When the people discerned that His face was set for Jerusalem they re fused hospitality to Him. This Insult to the Lord so aroused the anger of John and James that they desired to call down fire from heaven to destroy the Samaritans. It was John's love for his Lord that prompted this sugges tion. Christ rebuked him and cor- fnMaA hi nfrtt- Hilt' TTo Irnonr Ifcaf It proceeded Vora a heart of love. Love will brook no Insult to Its object Mistaken love has done much harm in the church. The pages of history are red with the blood of heretics, to the everlasting shame of the persecutors. Persecution is not the way to deal with those who differ with us. The spirit is not only wrong, but It Is fu tile, for the blood of the martyrs has always become the seed of the church, May Christ's rebuke to John take from our hearts the spirit of Intolerance and revenge. Jesus came not to de stroy, men, but to save them. III. John's Care of Christ's Mother (John 19:25-27). 1. Jesus Saw His Mother (v. 26) Perhaps His physical suffering had so dimmed His vision that He had not seen her before. But even His death agonies did not cause Him to forget her. While engaged in the redemption of the world, He displayed His tender human Interest In this beautiful act The cross la the center from which love flows. 2. John - Took Mary to His Own Home (y. 27). The same John who wished to call down fire upon the In hospitable Samaritans now was en gaged In the tenderest act of human affection. He was caring for the mother of his Lord. The reason Jesus entrusted her to John was that He knew his real heart of love. He knew that John's experience was such that he could enter Into full sympathy with her in her great sorrow. IV. Tost of Divine Birth (I John 4:7.8). ' : : v, , John's experiences In life were such that now near the close of his life he declared that the supreme test of fel lowship In the divine life Is love. Love Is the bond of perfection-the cord that binds all virtues Into one harmon ious bundle. , All the fruits of the Christian life spring out of this root God is love. All that Is good and beautiful in our lives Is but the very life of God flowing through us. So With All Men. All men think all mortal but them selves. Young. Religion Is Nocessary. Genius, without religion, is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace ; It may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the In habitant Is in darkness. H.
