' ,2.00 PER YEAR 11 He The Hoke County News voici of y UUmM FRCfPOM Vj.ii ,E5TY HOMt J " ' a Bill SCHOOL NEWS By K. A. MacDonald Attendance Best Yet iFollowing are the attendance percentages for the white schools of the county or the first month: Ashemont, 95.2; Hoke High, 93; MUduusor., 39.3; Raet'ord Graded, 1)5.1; Rockfish, 95.9. This is the best percentage in attendance the ;chools of Hoke have ever had to rthe first month of school. Rock fish leads the county, while Mil ilouson is the last. Mildouson's low average is caused by their critical crop condition that re quires many of the pupils to stay uut of school to help with the harvest. We feel certain that the attendance of MUdouson will pick up during he second month. Combat Film Enjoyed Last Monday night the Ameri can Legion sponsored combat film was shown at Hoke High.

My mother told her children that back in the 1840's there was a storm that brought seabirds here that had never been seen here before. There are great storms this time of the year. Equinox means equal days and nights. It is stormy about the equinox but the equinox has noth ing to do with the storms. It used to rain State Fair Week. This is State Fair week, and they are having a great time in Ral eigh. It rained hard all day Au gust 28th, 1893, and it was very stormy. This storm brought a world full of mosquitoes and this section was already flooded with these pests. There are nothing like so many now, but the storm from the Tropics here last year FAYETTEVILLE PRESif f TERY AT RAEFORD CHURCH TUESDAY Baptist Church Finally Gets Building 0. K.

It is current news but Com munism is fast spreading over the country . It is impractical, destructive of human rights and Christianity. I hope the people of the world may see the danger in it. Communism, Socialism, Nazism, ail these isms are men tal delusions which lead people off sane thinking on Civil Gov ernment. Earning capacity, capa bility, ineiit, diligeBce, must be given consideration. I have no idea what will be the result, but radicalism has been deeply rooted during the past troublous years.
