MR. OLIVER, EXTENSION POUL
TRY EXPERT, WILL BE HERE
A letter from Mr. Oliver Informs cs
that he will be in the county the week
beginning Monday morning, August
16th. s During this week it is planned
to put on demonstrations and lectures
on Farm Poultry at different points
in the eounty. Last year Mr. Par
rish, Mr. Oliver's assistant, was in the
eounty and showed us how to take
care of poultry This year Mr. Oliver,
. : ,
himself, is coming. The places at
, "ACVCTlTtSlU t

vi
I
t
which these meetings will be held
will be announced later. The meet
ings are for both the older and the
younger folks. Many will remember
the talk which Mr. Oliver made at
the poultry show last winter. Poul
try is an important part of a farm's
operations and wlil grow in impor
tance with each year, we believe.
There are a number of flocks of stan-
dard br.ed poultry inUhe county now,
there are a few new, modern poultry
houses, the owners of these flocks and
house's will surely want to listen to
Mr. Oliver's lectures. Those who do
not have a standard nock or modern
houses will do well to hear the lec
tures. Watch these columns for la
ter announcement.
There will be a poultry show thi3
fall. It will be a larger and a better
one than was held last February.
It is hoped to have an Agricultural
Fair in connection with the poultry
show. We wonder how many are in
terested, how many would bring ex
hibits.
REMEMBER THE FARM TOUR
It is not a local affair. It is a State
tour. It will profit you to take it.

this issue relative-to the prevailing
conditions of the social order in this
nation; ; ' This is one of the most im
portant and vital phases of human
concern. It is an all potent force
now at work shaping the destiny of
human events. It is apparent that
comparatively few of the adults and

faintest understanding of the signifi

COLOR LIGHT SIGNALS
ON DOUBLE-TRACK LINE
OF SOUTHERN RAILWAY
Charlotte, N. C. Color light sig
nals, declared by Southern Railway
engineers to be the last word in elec
tric automatic block signal protec
tion, are now in service on the entire
Washington-Atlanta double.track line
637 miles, replacing signals of the
three position type.
The color light signal is a recent
development, consisting of a series of
three lamps mounted vertically be
hind colored lenses on a mast with an
oblong sheet metal background.
These lamps produce a light which
can be easily distinguished at from
2,500 to 3,000 feet' in bright sun
light, giving an indication which en
gine men can recognize even, more
easily than the position of. the sema
phore.:" -r 'fA iv''i;--
The color light signal is considered
a distinct advance in signal practice
sine the same indications (RED for
stop, YELLOW f or ? caution, c and
GREEN ior proceed) are used both
day ' and .loight. . As "there L is : no
mechanism, the color light signal is
less subject to failure than other
types. -, Another advantage is that thef
lights are placed directly in the en-
gise man's line of vision. ... V?"-;- j;
The Southern was a pioneer in the
sn&oduction of color L light .signals,
.having installed them on the' Atlanta-
( Birmingham line in 1924, " In order

Atlanta line,itjwa necessary to re
Dlace' 821'sianlas. rThe entire: line
from Washington tp Birmingham, 0(T
miles, is now equipped with this moit
modern type of signals, operated by
alternating current, fed from a power
transmission line of equal ( length.
This is the longest continuous instal
lation of this kind in existence. ' (
THE CALL I DIDN'T
WANT TO MAKE

of affliction for so long and yet with
out murmuring now ready, to go up
to her home above. I felt that I was
a stronger Christian and would be a
better pastor the rest of my life, and
that I would never be sorry when
called to make a visit to some poor
dying soul. Yes, I was the one who
had received the blessing of the visit,
and not she.
I fear sometimes that we pastors
let pastoral labors become a burden
to us, as that cold night was tp me be
fore I made the call. Such. should
never be the case. That' one visit
made me over again as a pastor. My
church had a new pastor from that
time on. I paid little attention to the
grumblers and fault-finders after that
visit I know if they could just visit
such a lovely character as I .had seen
in that little tar-papered shanty that
night and catch one glimpse of her
smiling face, and hear her experience
as I did, they would find no place
in their hearts to fault-find and speak
evil of others.
Since that night I have had many
wonderful experiences in - the sick
room. I have found many of God's
brightest jewels out in the poor sec
tions of the city, cast off by society
onto the social scrap heap. Not all
of God's best and mighty ones are oc
cupying the front seats in our church
es on Sunday or singing solos in our
choirs, thrilling great congregation!
with their musical voices. No, some
of them are unknown to the churches
and the great world. They have by
force of circumstances been set aside,
not in use now. But O, how bright
is their light when you get -near ittj
How glorious is their testimony when
you near them speak I From that
visit that night to the little dying
Christian out in the suburbs of the
great Southern city I have;, learned
many things that have been of use
to me since. I learned that the pas

very much -of the socalled pastoral
visiting is worthlss, because it la a
burden rather than a pleasure and
privilege.
Well, that night, late in the night,

in the sweet bye and bye I expect to
see her, and I have a feeling that in
some way I will know her.
Did I hear you ask the question
why did such a soul have to stay so
long in the furnace of suffering?
WellJI am sure I do not know. But
one thing I do know, yea, two things
I do know.) One is that it takes great
deal to make iron flexible so that you
can bend it and shape it for service.
Another is that, so far as I am con
cerned, if the suffering of that dear
Ijttle broken-winged bird never meant
anything t oanyone else, it was the re
making of the pastor who didn't wane
to call that cold night It transform
ed his life as a pastor. I have had a
message ever since for men and wo
men that I never could have had but
for the suffering and triumphant dy
ing of that rood woman. I feel that
I can say in the language of one' who
wrote about such matters long ago,
"And we know that all things work
together for good tp them that love
God, to them who are called accord
