his brother John on the White
House courts last Monday. At
first paying no attention to it "the
youth developed an alarming con
dition by .Wednesday night and
physicians were summoned; "
o The poison, hawever, once start
ed, had spread so rapidly that med
ical skill was without avail. A
number of speeia'ists were called to
act with White House physicians
on the case and a desperate fight
for life was made by the boy, who

Young Calvin was removed to

the left lee, where ths infection
first localized in Dart. A ' slight

his condition grew so serious that
blood transfusion and oxygen ad
ministrations were resorted to.'
Even as ' he bad : fought when
there was hope for life, young Cal
vin battled when the time of death
approached. Minute after minute
and hour after hour he lived to the
surprise of all :,
As the opark of life flickered only
faintly, still persisted, ready! to be
extinguished at acy minute, but
tne will to live was strong and
death was held off when those at
the bedside had long since aband
oned hope, , -
E. T, Clark, the President's per
sonal secretary, emerging from the
sick room at 10 o'clock told those
waiting outside that the patient
was linking, but that his stamina
was
resisting at every backard
Neither President Coolidge nor
Mm. Coolidge came "out and the
physicians remained to minister to
the suffering boy ' last minutes..
The White House where a staff had
been kept busy while the Presi
dential residence was temporarily
removed to Reed Hospital, ceased
to function for the time and Secre
tary Slemp and others rushed to
the hospital. In ' other parts of
the city where the illness of he
boy had gripped public interest to
the exclusion of almost everything
else, there were anxious inquiries
as to bis conditions and expressions
of sympathy for the parents.
At the hospital groups gathered
outside the groundt awaiting word
but inside, the sentries moved in
the.ir usual way and. there . were no
visible signs that anything out- of
the ordinary was taking .place.
Hundreds, of. war,, veterans are
housed there and - sympathy was
marked on every hand- Silence
was the order over all the building.
Only the physician and the
Presidnt's personal secretary were
authorized to give out any word
and their information was ehnfined
to occasional brief f reports ef the
condition of the boy unaccompanied
by any detail.' ; - - , ' i
Announcement that death had
finally relieved the sufferer , was
made by Mr. Clarke. He walked
slowly fiora the room and ' those
who were gatheredjthere knew from
his demeanor that the end bad
come Only the brief announce
ment ot death was made and soon ,
thereafter, Pre' iJont and Mrs.

Picnic.
(...' ' ' '
The Baptist, Methodist, Pres
byterian and Tree "Will B:tist
Sunday'Schools of Marshall all
united in an outing picnic, at
Hot Springs July 4. Mrs. Ccnsie
M. Safford, of Hot Springs very
graciously, permitted the pi aic
festivities to be held in the hotel
parkj which is conceded, to be
one, If not the most beautiful
parks in North Carolina.; The
fact, that all the Sunday Schools
united in this occasion shows the
kind of feeling existing between
the churches in Marshall. This
is hardly to be boasted -of, for it
is as it should be. If churches
do not possess, the kindest feel
ing and brotherly love towa d
each other, it is a certain indica
tion that they are not out re
presenting the religion of Jesus
Christ. Religion should ' be the
same to all who profess to follow
the Prince of. Peace, What church
each individual is a member of is
a personal matter, and if we
have the right spirit in us we are
certainly willing"to accord to oth-
era the same privilege that we
claim for ourselves; .'
The Marshall people appear to
possess this splendid trait, to get
back to the picnic, cars and
trucks were provided at Marshall
and the schools above "mentioned
to together with the ' bountifully
filled baskets of good eats,' were
transported to Hot Springs, cpc.t:
ting there atwuft 10:30 A. M.The
drive how from Marshall to ' Hot
Springs is a pleasure. It is all
the way over the State Highway,
and one of the most scenic trips
to be! found in America. The
four schools, with" the invited
guest made a large crowd :
Before the dinner, was spread,
it looked as if it would be next to
impossible to feed the crowd, It
turned out however that there
was more than "five loaves and
a few fishes." The truth is that
after the great crowd eat all they
could, there was ptenty." left to
feed another such crowd, abund
ance of delicious lemonade had
been - prepared and 'every one
drank all they wanted - which
made the good dinner go better.
I Before the dinner was spread
two of the crowd decided to get
married. Register of Deeds J.
Will Roberts provided, the license
and Rev." Mr Elliot, pastorf the
Baptist Church of Marshall per
formed the ceremony in the park
under the beautiful ; trees using
the group of la-ge rocks as a
background, i The couple seemed
well pleased and the large crowd
bid them Godspeed and sent
them on their waj rejoiciDg
After the dinner hour Mrs. Saf
ford inyited a large number up to
her beautiful home on the hill.
Mrs. Saffords home ia beautifully
appointed in every way. Tq go

In order that gardeners of
Asheville and Buncombe county
may successfully combat the
Mexican beans beetle, L. D.
Thrash, farm agent offer a brief
sketch of the beetle, its habits,
and how to control its ravages.
Mr. Thrash says:
"For years the Mexican bean
beetle, has been traveling north
east from Mexico at the rate of
about 50 miles a year until at
least he has reached Buncombe
county and from all indications
he has come to stay.
' "He is a terrapin shaped bug,
of a yellow brown color, with
large black spots on his back.
The larva is shaped like the po
tato larva but is yellow in color
and is covered with yellow
spines. ; .V .
' This beetle as the name im
plies, feeds on plants ot the
bean family. J t prefers the
garden bean to any of the others
but when the garden beans gives
out it attacks the soybean, the
cowpea and even the bagger
lice. .. :,': v- .., !.
" It is considered impossible
to grow garden beans on a farm
where the beetle has made his
appearance unless a system of
dusting is carried but, and . the
owner of a bean-beetle-free bean
patch, should consider , himself
fortunate. .'-'
,v "Calcium arsenate and lime
mixed as follows and used as & r
dust has been found to be the
most effective method of control
calcium arsenate, 1 part, and
builders lime, 9 parts.
1 ' "Since the beetle eats the
under side of the leaf, ohly it
becomes necessary that the dust
gun nozzle be diflicted in order
that the dust will strike the
under instead of the top side of
the leaf. The dust must be ap
plied as often as new fojiage ap-
pears on the plants, which will
mean that the beans will have
to be dusted about once every
week.
The thing that goes the farthest
toward making life worth while,
That costs the least and does the
most, is just a pleasant smile.
The smile that bubbles from a heart
that loves ita fellow men
Will drive away the cloud of gloom
and coax the sun again,
It's full of worth and goodness, too,
with many a kindness bent-
It's worth a million dollars, and it
. doesn't cost a cent.

appropriate manner When the
Declaration of Independence was
being considered, for adoption,
Benjamin Franklin said in a
speech supporting its adoption,
"If we do not hang together, we
shall all hang seperately." The
inference was that King George
would have them all adjudged
traitora and hung. They hung
together and adopted the Declara

Great plans are being laid by
the Director of the Mountain As
sembly, Mr. Perry Morgan of
Raleigh, for making this one of
the most vital gatherings of this
nature held in this State. It be
gins on Tuesday evening, July
29 and closes August 7, ten days
full of study,, inspiration, and
delightful fellowships. An evan
gelistic service, perhaps under a
arge tent, will be held at eight
o'clock every evening, at which
an attendance of a thousand or
more is expected. Last year
several hundred people from out
side the j county attended the
Assembly and the number will be
larger this year. One church in
Greensboro plans to send a dele
gation of at least 25. If every
community in Madison County
Sent some" of its , fine , young
people alontf with some of the
mature workers ' in Sunday
School . and church, it would
mean much to the ongoing of
the Kingdom of God. ; Some
should stay here through all the
ten days, others can make up a
car full and run over to Mars
Hill every morning and stay for
the study classes and the Bible
addresses returning home for
night. Board is only a dollar a
day. If our people show their
appreciation pf this Assembly
and profit by attendingi ts ses
sions, it will be made a perman
ent gathering to which hundreds
from every part of the State will
come each year. Another year
Mars Hill will have room for a
much larger number as two dor
mitones costmg ? JlCO.CCO are
now under way; also a gymnas
ium which will cost $35,000
when completed.
