PARENT - TEACHER ASSN.
HOLDS FINAL MEETING
The meeting of the Parent-Teacher
association was he'd on Wednesday
afternoon in the school auditorium,
with a large number present. This
meeting closed one of the most suc
cessful years in the history of the or- ,
ganization.
A report from the Art Exhibit com
mittee showed a totai of $184.21 clear
and the inspeotion committee reported
that Mrs. A. S. Bynum had won the
prize for keeping the best chool room.
Mrs. Florence Thome was presented
with the roll call prize picture. The
president, Mrs. J. M. Hobgood then
announced that clinics would be held
in the school building again this sum
mer and that a meeting would be
held in the school building again this
summer and that a meeting wx>uld be
called soon to perfect plans for the
community chatauqua which is to be
given the last of June.
In a speech full of earnestness and
sincerity the president thanked aTI
who assisted with the Art Exhibit
and bade frewell to he teachers and
to the organiation as its president,
promising the new officers, however,
her interest and hearty support in the
work next year.
We print below the expression of
appreciation by Mrs. Thome's pupils:
"We wish to thank you every one,
Fathers, mothers, friends and all,
For helping us to win thia year
This picture whic hwe hold quite dear.
We're glad of it, we're proud of it, -
To ua it fi* a treasure,
Which we'll bequeath to our room
For other children's pleasure.
May those wlto follow in our stead
In years to come attend you
With grateful hearts as we have done
For helping us in the contest won."
The local Parent-Teacher associa
tion is a live organiation and its re
port won special and favorable com
ment from officers, delegates and vis
itors to the recent State Federation
meeting held in Raleigh.
PRESBYTERIAN PASTOR
CORDIALLY RECEIVED
Rev. N. N. Fleming, Jr., who, with
his family, -arrived from Wilming
ton on Friday last, preached his ini
tial sermon, in the local Presbyterian
chureh Sunday morning.
The minister took as his text, "I Am
Not Ashamed of the Gospel of Jwui
Christ," and put a new meaning and
spirit in this statement. The sermon
wv oeiivered with great power and
force t? the large congregation which
gataexed to give the new pastor a
welcome. ;
A *pkMiA musical program had
been xmwged sad was an enjoyable
feature of the service.

^Poljtics?
TO THE MEN AND WOMEN OF OTT COUNTY:
My political enemies, wljo work in the dark and are afraid to
? come out in the open, faccrto faeew are giving various and sundry
? alleged reasons why I am ydisqualified for the office of County
? Judge, among which the foltaving are worthy of mention:
I First, because they say that I am slinging mud.
Second, because Judge Coopo^dntrary to law and in violation J
? of his oath of office, disbarred me from practicing law in his I
? court. * 1
Third, because I am native bom, and as they say, do not have 1
I sense enough to discharge the duties onthe office. 1
? Fourth, because I am too honest and saright, and as they say, I
I there is no need to corrupt a good man. f I
I Fifth, because they say that t drink moonshine liquor and would 1
? get drunA as often as Cooper. / I
? Sixth, because they say I said I dh| mot want the vote of any I
? man who ever took a drink of liquor. / ?
? Briefly, I shall answer these charges in the order named: fl
I First, it is true that I have in rmonse to Cooper's challenge fl
? on his record, offered some criticisms showing special favors to fl
I violators of the law, but I deny that Jam guilty yf "slinging mud," I
I because what I said is true and no ratal eaarbe made. I
I Second, I would be unworthy offthe reject of all law abiding I
I citizens and certainly unworthy bf the offiot of Judge of the Coun- I
? ty Court if I did not resent the imnsitkvw Cooper in unlawfully 11
? and despotically depriving me of me riant to practice law in the ?
? County Court. They say that I an tryife to get in by tearing an- I ?
? other man down. This is not tr?A buy what has Cooper done to fl
I me ? He has not only put me dowm Wfcas aim placed his foot on I
? my neck. If he can get any gk>moft of this, he is welcome to I
I boast about it If yoJ think that hLfehoaM be re-elected so as to fl
I continue to keep me from exerrisuw the rights guaranteed by I
? our constitution and ti|o Supreme Orat of oar State, then vote for I
fl him, for he is the kirjd of autocrat and tyrant that you deserve I
? to have for your judge. J \ fl
Third, I am proud of being a native soik and if it be true that, I
I as they say, I have not suffictenraense tope Judge of the County fl
I Court, then my enemi< s should rejoice anmvote for me, for then, !
? having an imbecile for judge, they should be able to put anything I
? over tney deeinY I
Fourth, it is not my personal welfare that they are interested I
? in, but they are afraid that v cannot be coarupted.
Fifth, as to my drinking ,liquor and getting drunk, I can. only I
I say that such a charge is an absolute falsehood, fabricated and fl
? put out by a diseased and Criminal mindjmut such is a fair sam- ?
I pie of the lies that art spawned and hatred In the minds of the fl
fl desperate criminal and corrupt element^ who seek by fair means
I or foul to bring about my defeat / fl
I Sixth, I have ncvef said that I did/iot want the vote of any I
? man who ever took a (brink of liquor./1 only said that I did not fl
? drink myself. The-Only reason any {moonshiner, bootlegger, or I
I any other lawbreaker can have fo?j)oting against me is that he ?
? vants special favors janri is ntrt'satisned with fairness and impar- I
I iality. I propose to uphold the law in aooordance with the oath
? >f office, and at the same time to mat an fairly and justly.
I No, I am not a candidate for aw selfish reasons nor for ven- I
? ?eance upon any person. I would not have beoome a candidate at
? all if anyone else would have takeft a positive stand foFlaw and I
fl order, and for right and justice. I
I Be not deceived. This campaign (for County Judge is not a con- I
I test between individuals, but it 1* a battle between those who I
fl stand for law and civilization on t ha one hand and lawlessness and I
fl anarchy on the other. There can be no neutrality on so vital an
? issue. There is no middle ground, aid any candidate attempting fl
I to straddle the issue is making a deliberate effort to fool and de? I
? ceive the voters. Any candidate whd is afraid to openly take % ?
? bold stand everywhere and at all timm for law. nnd order, is so- I
I cretly aligned with the lawless elements, and Is under their influ- j
fl ence and control. 1
fl So far, I am the only candidate who gas taksn his stand openly ?
I on the side of law and order. Why df not the other candidates I
fl openly and boldly state on whieh lid# mey StandT Do they dare
I tell you In public print upon what tetfcs they sre obtaining the
I support of the lawless elements? C? they teU you why those
? who violate end defy the law are iff anxious to'defeat me and I
fl seem to be content with either of thajbther two candidates? Why1 fl
fl should they be so eager to defeat ? wlmu f tave promised afl fl
? equality, fairness and impartiaHtyfTIt is because I have refused
? .o promise epeoia) favors. I
