two military units. Their latest ad_

*■ a lamentable state of affairs that has
been going on in Raeford for some
years, that of having athletic sports
going into hibernation for the' winter
season. Basketball on any apprecia
ble scale has been impossible In the
oast on account of the lack of gym_
nasium facilities. With the com.
pletion of an indoor court, basket
ball, king of winter sports, should
take its rightful place in community
life, not only In the\high school but
among the younger men of the town.
This, advantage would be hard to
overestimate. Great credit is due to
Captain Poole and the officers and
men of the two companies who are
taking the lead in this forward step.

A CIVIL WAR MILE POST. The
death of Major Stedman of Greens
boro deprives the Congressional body
at Washington of the last member
who served with the Confederates
■ during the War Between ^he States.
^ As little as. we think of it this is
an important mile stone in history
The veterans of that war are fast
disappearing from our miflst. Then

CONGRESSMAN HAMMER. The
^ T'
sudden death of Congressman Ham
mer on his return from il^,ending the
funeral of major Steadman was a
blow to' his many personal friepds
and admirers throughout the coun
ty. Mr, Hammer was splendid and
stalwart figure in the national legls
lative halls and his work is a sturdy
memorial to him. One of his last
acts in Congress was a strong and
moving address in the house of rep
resentatives, favoring an appropria.
tion for the eradication of illiteracy
in the states and territories of the
Union. He called attention to the
4act'that America was below the na
tions of Ejirope in illiteracy, des
pite the fact that the European def
inition of . literacy included both
reading and writing while that of
America includes only w«iting. He
recognized two groups of illiterates,
native bom, both^ whites and ne
groes, and foreign born and made a
strong plea that the government
should give them the means to ed
ucate themselves “to grasp the
words of God and man.” A review
of this address shows vision, sym
pathy and power, recognized traits
of Asheboro’s mourned citizen.

It's as easy and natural to enjoy the fragrant mildness of a Caniel
Cigarette as it is to admire beauty when you see it.
Camels are made, and always have been made, for discriminating
smokers—^the people whose keen judgment unerringly selects the best.
But that doesn’t mean you have to be an expert to enjoy Camels! The
delicate, mellow fragrance of those choice sun-ripened tobaccos is some
thing that anybody can appreciate. Camels are naturally smooth and
mild — never parched nor insipid.
Why is there such a swing to Camels? Because more and more smok
ers are learning the difference between true mildness and mere ffatness.
Give yourself the luxury of a cigarette that’s always pleasant smoking.
