XXI ANSWER 5 FromTRUST MISS JOHNSON REPLIES TO LAST WEEK'S ARTICLE SIGNED -A READER- ' "Dear Editor. Will you please give me apace in your paper for my article? I would like to say in reply to thearticlo in ' last week's issue, concerning the B. Y. P, U. at Trust and signed, "A Head er," that it lacki lot Of being true ; and I feel it my I duty to say what 1 am going to say. If eel that the"good people of this community are ashanw 'if ed of such ft false report , Personally, Twant to say that I know there jtfe" many jgoo4 people in ' . this community, and people who stand for the1 rtent and advance God's cause ; and kingdom? At the same lime, there seems to be someone, as the adage is, who was born in the objec -tiye'case and kickative mood. They believe in kicking and gossiping, and they have certainly lived Op to their belief since the B. Y. P. U- was or- v mAieeu. I say, God pity them; First, the author of this article, "A Seader," stated that our church days were Wednesday and Thursday. That is mistake, -btur church days are .Saturday and Sunday, Second, "the Reader" stated that ' our B. Y. P. U. as in good progress. jmd following thif she aaid, We had had ewe ehurcK socials in the past week nd that she thought the B. Y. P. U.Tud just about erected a dance halt I say "she" because I take " the .Header" to be ft woman from the fact that the said, as the women had two socials I don't understand How ; the B. Y P. U. W fa nro resa and be erecting ft, dance hall at the same time K X v' . M4' I wish to say that neither of the so, cials "the Reader" spoke of was B. Y. 3U. aocial; - Neither" did they 4I4n-lJ;beuaatti week. Only one B. Y. P IT. Social has been announc ed and it was tailed off because of the "bad weather and illness; conse quently, we have had no B. Y. P. U. social at all. I don't understand why "the Reader" called them such. She, or rather he, I think the author is, did not say where the socials were, or where the dance hall was being erect- ed. 1 From what he said one would think ft dance hall was being erected j and one sleeping car between Ashe in the church. If I thought this com- ' vjiie and Washington, munity would stand, for such, I would . xn addition to changes noted above, shake the dust off my feet and leave, the following changes are announced The two socials were given iiwthe that are of interest to this immediate home of Mr. and Mrs. M. C. Robert 7. 'section: I was present at both. I can certain. Passenger." destined to Charlotte ly say they were not dances and can and intermediate stations via States not be called such. One of them was ville who have formerly left Ashe- given on Saturday night of our preaching day and the pastor of the church was there. I took part in both the socials, and I certainly dor-'t feel condemned for anything I did. Neither do I feel that I have been to dance. . I can and will heartily agree with "the Reader'? that a young Christian should not be fed on a dance. I will also agree with him that the Bible says, "What is not of righteousness is of sin," and that we cannot serve God and the Devil; but at the same time I would like to tell "the Reader" that the Bible also aaya, '.'Thou ahalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Polks should be. very ' careful that what they make-public is true. V.?';-.' . v Paul exhorts against church mem bers back-biting,- and the , Bible lays to be your brother's keeper. Der Reader, if you thought ftny. of the B, ,Y. P. U members were doing, wrong, I think you should hay gone to them and told then privately. Doesnt the Bible say that-if your - brother does wrong, go to him ftnd:talk to, him, and if he will not hear you, lake eth en? It surely does not say to pub lish it, in the paperav; ,1 thihk joq should practice : what you preach and set the beasa out of thin own eye so you may see clearly how to pull the mote out ef thy brother's eye.; . Yes, I Bote 'mt;irOMl .Bdeh s!J he waa not kicking the B. Y. P. U, i I don't knov.what baWuld call his t ; tide if it were not ft B. Y, P. U. kicker.,.'! think: it is perfectly ridiculous, and I ' don't ' think" any thoughtful person ;' interested, i n church Viik would have written sack.' I hope that' each member of the B. Y. P. U. will press on, -Be rnot' dis coursired, but look to" God from whom t'.l our help' eomee, and not to the kicker. Pray for hint or ner, which ever she may be. At m time I want to ask "the Reader"; Bie thinks any of the members of the B. Y. P. U. have done wrong, to corns to us and tell us about it and pray wttn I am frank to admit that I do ... . .' w .U ', I. ltd wrong sometimes. .- mywui. worst person I have to deal witn.. know I fall short many times of what God expects of me, but I am thankful that He is a just God and willing and "ready to forgive us of our sins and shortcomings. v V ; t I am truly glad the Reader can say he is not for the-Devil, the whiskey, or the dance. I don't think anyone who belongs to the B.-Y- P V- or vho was at the two socials, is for ' tliem either " Dear Reader, if you never do any more than Vbat Lsaw'done t the two socials and what the B. X. V. U. is doingy I believe I shall meet you in Heaven. However, 1 Cor.0-12 says "Let him that thinketh he. standeta take heed lest he fall." Angels fell in Heaven, Adam, in paradise, Peter, in Christ's presence. We must watch and pray. " t Now, dear Deader in conclusion I wish to say again that if you have any more to say in regard to the B. Y. P. U.; if I or any of its members, in your estimation, have done wrong, come to us about it, but please don't knock the B. Y. P. U. We will cer tainly appreciate it. I desire to meet you face to face. .

The state commission had chosen the Mashurn route and the new route had been protested by those wishing the road to go another way. ; Three ! of the State Highway Commission, incluJing Chairman Page, were present snd heard the claims of the Roberts route and the Sweetwater route presented. The Roberts route was ably repre sented by Messrs. Guy V. Roberts and J. A. Hendricks. The Mashburn route was advocated by Messrs. J. Coleman Ramsey and Charles Mashburn. The Sweetwater route was sponsored by Messrs, J. Will Roberts, Mayor Grov er Redmon and others. According to estimates of SUte engineers, the cost of the Sweetwater route -was prohibitive. About $35,000 differ ence in the cost of the Mashburn route and the Roberts route made the State choose the Mashburn route. The advocates of the Roberts route appealed to the full State Highway Commission. This body will meet the very last of January, and wheth er their decision at that time will be final remains to be seen. The hearing Tuesday was attea ted by quite a large crowd of men from various sections of the County, desi pite the extremely eold weather and intense interest was shown in the matter. DR. L N. CARR OF MARS HH1 COL LEGE, HONORED ; Steps have been taken to make a closer connection between Mars Hill Junior College, Mars Hill, N. C, and the National Education Association in the appointment of Dr. I. N. Carr, Dean, as Committee Chairman on N.E.A. relations. J. W. Crabtree, Secretary of the National Association who provides this information far us considers that the institution is for tunate in having as its Committee Chairman one who is not only a con structive thinker and leader, but one of exceptionally high standing in the profession. The Chairman will be informe'd as to the policies and .ac tivities of the Association who will, in turn call the attention of the fncul ty to important matters. Every college and university has been requested to appoint a repre sentative and more than half of them have already complied with "the re quest. Secretary Crabtree expects great results from this plan. He de clares that the college is now the weakest link in the organized prof ession. While college proffessors have been devoted and loyal to their tsch nical groups, they have not as a rule been greatly interested in problems relating to the larger fraternal wel fare., He gives this as one of the reas ons why colleges have been so slow in readjusting salaries .to meet in creased costs and new conditions ,, College instructors receive the low est pay, in .profession in proportion to the type of service to be rendered. The Association urges better salaries fox instructors 'and professors end better instruction , in the Freshmaa and Sophomore years. The Secretary predicts that within a few years, col lege faculties wilt be among the lead ers at vrork on the problems of the profession,' and thaMhe. college will be a more, vjjtai fore to shaping the policies ef the Association. He thinks the local institution will lead the way. STATE IS LEADER ' - IN MANY LINES DEPARTMENT1 OP JCONSERVA-' ?

Despite a slight recession in the general vol- of business offered for move ment in 1927, the Southern Railway System continued its improvement program and during ine pasi year, invested $15,000,000.00 in provid ing enlarged and more modern facili ties -for handling the Tneight and passenger business of the South. Early in the year a new engine terminal was placed in service at Chattanooga, Tenn., in connection with the Citico Yard, which was en larged in 1926. A 35-stall reinforced concrete roundhouse and auxiliary buildings were included. At Grand Crossing, Fla., near Jacksonville, a similar terminal with a 10-BtaIl roundhouse was constructed, supple menting the classification yard, built in 1925. Andrews Yard and Terminal The largest project undertaken and completed during the year was the en largement of Andrews Yard, at Col umbia, S. C, and the construction of a new engine terminal. New tracks were built, douDiing tne capacity oi .... . a 1 H B the yard and giving room for more than- 2,000 cars. The engine terminal consists of a 20-stall roundhouse, smith aiicFmaehine shop, ft number-of smaller buildings and freight car re pair facilities. At Winston-Salem, N. C, eight and a half miles of yard track were laid, and a new engine terminal with 6-stall roundhouse was built. Sub stantial additions were made to the yard -tracks at Pomona, N. C, near Gieensboro, the junction of the Win ston-Salem division with the Wash, ington-Atlanta line. Additional yard tracks and a small encrine terminal were built at East Durham, N.

It now has a total of 4,013 miles oi, track protected by electric block sigv nal of which 3,370 miles are also e quippjed with the jautomatie train control. Telephone dispatehing line were constructed between Bristol, Tenn., and Morristown and between Chattanooga and Memphis. A mes sage circuit was installed between Greensboro, N. C. and Winston-Salem. The Southern now has 2,808 miles of line equipped with the telephone. Bridge renewal work was also car ried out on a large scale, approxi mately 60 bridges and trestles scat tered over 18 divisions having been replaced by structures of greMter strength or more modern design. A mong the new bridges erected, is one spanning the famous Sewannee river on the line between Valdosta, Ga., and Palatke, Fla. On the Alabama Great Southern Railroad between Chattanooga, Tenn., and Meridian, Miss., 13 open deck trestles were re placed by reinforced concrete box or pipe culverts and six ballast deck trestles were replaced by simi'ar structures designed for heavier load ing. ENDORSEMENT BY GOV. McCLEAN The following strong endorsement of the work of the Near East Collegw Association in North Carolina commsT as it does from Governor Angu3 W. McLean will doubtless be received with interest by citizens in all sections of the state as indicative of the worthiness of the Association's actiw ities. Few men enjoy, the public contt rfnr to a fuller degree than North Carolina's present chief excutive, and when Governor McLean expresses the belief that few movjanenta in the state are more wholly! "worthy than that of the Near East Colege Asso ciation in North Carolina, such com mendation 1 fraught -with signifi cance. Lieutenant-Governor J. Elmer Long, State Chairman of the cam paign in North Carolina, has been con sistent in its praise and untiring in his active efforts in its behalf. On the State Executive Committee of this movement are a group of out standing men leaders in their var ious vocations; men in whom North Carolinians have the utmost confi dence; men who have studied very carefully the worthiness of this move ment and lijeartily endorsed, and who are active in its behalf. It is however, with singular grati fication and strong appreciation that the Near East College Association is able today to release the follow ing endorsement from the Governor of North Carolina. It reads: "I desire to add my strong per sonal endorsement to the efforts of the Near East College Association now being put forth hi this state un der the active leadership of Hon. J. Elmer Long, State Chairman. I know of few more worthy en terprises than that of extending ed ucation to the youth of the world Very especially it seems to me is such an effort meritorious when the light of learning is carried into those land bordering Asia, where the gospel of freedom and the teachings of west ern civilization are so urgent! need ed. t ... ... I trust that the Near East Collegw Association's campaign in North Carv olina will -prove wholly successful, as I believe it is an important and most worthy movement. I sincerely trust that all who are appealed to for at contribution to' this cause will, if pos sible, contribute as generously circumstances allow. - v Signed ANGUS W.
