GOLDSBORO, N- C„ WEDNESDAY MORNING. AUGUST 29. 192.1
Abernethy Will
Speak to Co-Ops
Kinston. Aug It —Friday of tbli I
i week Congressman Charles I-ahanJ
Abernethy. of the Third District of
1 North Carolina, will address three*. •
meetings of the bustoess nten of Fre
mont. Nashville and Spring Hope
Mr. Abernethy'* address will hsTe
special significance In as much as We
has Just returned from »he west,
where be has noted many things that
could be done In this state which urv
not now done. He addressed a meet
ing at Greenville last Friday, at which
Klwanis and RofaTy Club* of several
towns were present, and told them
among other things (but “Eastern
QproUna has a greater future than
any ptber section of America and Is
today ahead of California In possibili
ties—oicept—la the degree v with
which our people boost their state,
community and themselves
The meeting In Greenville was
coiled by the Eastern Carolina, Cham
ber of Commerce sad was a great
success He also spoke at the Kl
wsnl* end both assemblages thought
that message should be carried to
sll Tar Heels. N O Bartlett, sec
retary of the Eastern Carolina Cham-!
her of Commerce, then prevailed on
Mr. Abernethy to give him Friday.
The meeting will be held as fol- j
lows: Fremont 11:30; Nashville
3:30 and Hprlng Hope 5:00.
It is hoped that the business men ,
of these communities will attend lb*-'
meetings aa the message will mown*
much for those who hear of the won
defful possibilities In this part of;
the stale. Many will recall that It
was Mr. Abernethy who enthused u
ItfTge crowd at ‘he Eaaferu. Carolina j
Exposition last year at Wilson, when
Governor Cameron Morrison could ;
not com* Mr. Abernethy made n
distinct hit at that time und told of;
what North Carolina manufactured
He has now gained more first-hand!
information of the we*t. where every'
one Is mUclv more of a booster than
here.
