Officer J. A. Robinson Shot
And Killed By 2 Desperdoes
Leaksville-Spray was the
scene of another murder Sun
day night when desperadoes
shot and killed Patrolman J. A.
Robinson of the police force of
that place, and made good their
escape.
It seems that Officer Robinson
discovered a light or fire in a
school house and went to in
vestigate. As he approached
the building, accompanied by
another officer, he was fired on
and fell mortally wounded. The
other officer was watching" from
another building on the oppo
site side of the school building,
and when he reached Robinson
the latter was virtually dead
and the assassins had escaped,
but they did not have time to
reach their car which was park
ed near the place. In it were
found a shot gun and some
ammunition.
Clay Fogleman, an escaped
convict, is believed to have
been one of the men who did
the shooting, as he was seen in
this same car by several per
sons. Who his companion is no
one seems to know. It will be
recalled that he escaped at
Fayetteville last November and
has not as yet been apprehend
ed. * i
An eoffrt was made to secure
bloodhounds, but they could not
be found and a large posse of
officers and citizens were soon
scouring the country for the
desperadoes, but so far without
success.
About 3 o’clock Monday morn
ing the theft of an automobile
was reported from Ridgeway,
Va., which is not very far from
Leaksville, and it is believed
that the assassins had stolen it.
Later the car was found.
Just one week before, it will
be recalled that W. J. Carter,
who operated a filling station
near Leaksville, was shot and
killed by two men, and it is be
lieved that the same parties
committed both crimes, and
their method of procedure
shows that they are cold-blood
ed murderers.
In the deserted car found at
Leaksville were three sets oof
license plates—two Maryland
and one North Carolina. Vir
ginia plates were on the road
ster.
Every effort is being made to
run down the murderers and it
is to be hoped that they will
soon be in the toils of the law
and that speedy justice will be
meted.

The commencement exercises
of the Stoneville high school
began Sunday morning, May 8,
with the following program:
Invocation, Rev. Henry Willis.
Oh, For a Thousand Tongues to
Sing, Glee Club. Scripture
reading, ■; County <Supeirintend- \
ent, J. E. McLean. Quartet,
“Song of Gladness,” four girls.
Baccalureate sermon, Dr. W. C.
Taylor, Blacksburg, Va. Dr.
Taylor’s subject was “Knowl
edge of Jesus Christ.” His text
was 1st chapter, II Tim., 12th
verse, “For I know whom I
y have believed and am persuad
ed that He is able to keep that
which I have committed unto
Him against that day.” Dr.
Taylor said in part that he pass
ed Stoneville about twelve
years ago and saw with pride
the Stoneville high school build
ing in process of construction.
He asked the twenty-four grad
uates if he were preaching his
last sermon and they were hear
ing their last one, what topic
would they like best? We crave
the power of knowledge. A
man or a church without a
creed is like a man without
character. Have a personal
knowledge of Christ. There is
no limit to our capacities above
the lower animals, we crave
love, fellowship and sympathy.
We are not satisfied with
things. Christ is a revelation
of God. Through knowledge of
Christ we find the right disposi
tion of life. He made a straight
drive for disposition. What a
weakage of life on account of
these, as an unhappy home and
children catered. A knowledge
of Christ strengthens us for
trials in the future. There is
too much materialism, thinking
in terms of dollars and cents,
instead of the real meaning of
life. “Have, as ministers, been
faithful enough?” he said Dr.
Chalmers said, “Lay up char
acters ana principles upon
which to build.” Such knowl
edge settles all questions of the
future, which science and phil
osophy cannot do. He told the
class that in their minds were
gold mines undeveloped. He
said that the primary use of ed
ucation is to train the mind to
think. He spoke feelingly of
Mother’s Day bringing up mem
ories and seemed as it were a
"pull from another world.” He
closed with this striking climax.
Do you want to know Him or
are you satisfied to know about
Him?
The commencement address
will be Friday morning by Dr.
John H. Cook of Greensboro.
.Also the awarding of diplomas
and certificates.
The senior play will be Fri

Northern Methodists Insist On
Social Equality by Resolution
Atlantic City, N. J., May 7—1
Despite warning that they were
sacrificing forever the long
sought reunion with the Meth
odist church, south, the getter*
al conference enthusiastically
declared for strict racial equal
ity today.
The resolution, adopted with
a demonstration that overrode
a sprinkling of opposition, di
rected that the quadrennial
conference was never to meet
in a city where the color line
was drawn against delegates in
hotels, restaurants, and public
places.
Dr. Ernest F. Tittle, of
Evanston, 111., a noted Metho
dist liberal, brought the resolu
tion to the floor of the confer
ence with a strong appeal that
Methodism take its place with
the Federal Council of Church
es and Congregational Christi
an church in opposing racial
discrimination in conference
cities.
Better Not to Meet
“I believe there are cities
which would be glad to enter
tain us under these conditions,”
he said. “If there are not, it
would be much better for us not
to meet at all; and it we do not
meet for this reason, we will be
doing the cause of racial equa'
ity more good than we could by
meeting.”
At the same session of the
conference, the body’s first of
ficial message to Methodism
was given out. it called upon
the denominations to raise $1,
000,000 to save the world ser
vice program of the church
from threatening financial jeop
ardy.
Deets Pickett, research secre
tary of the Methodist board of
temperance, publication and
public morals branded as “ab
solutely false and cowardly’’
the charge of Representative
Tinkham that he (Pickett) com
mitted perjury before the sen
ate lobby committee;
The conference heard what
was almost a demand of the
demand of church for a reduc
tion in the “overhead expense”
of Methodism, to be effected by
the elimination of some exist
ing bishoprics.
When the color line resolu
tion was being debated, the
point was raised that it cast re
flection on Atlantic City, where
delegates of colored races have
not been accepted in the beach
front hotels.
A chorus of noes, immediate
ly went up.
The immediate reaction of
many at the conference to the
equality measurd was that it
destroyed all possibility of heal
ing the breach existing between
northern and southern Metho
dists since they divided on the
slavery question 88 years ago.
May Mean Negro Church
Later, however, delegates
were expressng the opinion the
step might lead eventually to
the formation of a central con
ference of the negro Methodists
in America, distinct from the
general conference.
The negro central conference
idea already has been suggest
ed as one means of effecting a
reunion with the Methodist
church, south, but thus far
some negroes in the central
conference have opposed it.
A number of delegates said
today’s action would make the
idea of a negro conference more
logical and less objectionable
to negro Methodists.
A prominent negro delegate
said in discussing the anti-col
or line ruling:
“My race has been done an
injustice. This will give the
south, the idea we are seeking
social equality. This is not
true.’’
The greatest debate of the
day centered around the $1,
000,000 emergency message,
which was sharply criticized on
the ground it was bad psychol
ogy to have the first official mes
sage of the conference an ap
peal for money.
Proponents of the measure
which calls for raising the fund
between May 15 and May 31
said it was necessary to save
the work and investments of
Methodism of the past century.
No Racial Lines Are Drawn
In Southern Methodist Church
Atlanta, Ga., May 7—there
is no racial discrimination in
the Methodist Episcopal church
south, said the Rev. R. L. Rus
sell, presiding elder of the At
lanta district, today in comment
ing on the resolution of the
Methodist Episcopal church
adopted at the Atlantic City
meeting.
No Unification Move Now
Pending, Says Ainsworth
Birmingham, Ala., May 7—
Bishop W. N. Ainsworth, of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
south, said today in comment
ing on the resolution passed by
the general Methodist Episco
pal conference at Atlantic City,
that no proposition for uniting
northern and southern Metho
dists is pending.
Gets Good Income
For 80-Acre Farm
Reports received at State!
College through the North Car
olina Bankers’ Association in
dicate that there are good farm
ers in North Carolina who made
money last year despite low
prices and unfavorable econom
ic conditions.
In the last few days Charles
A. Sheffield, assistant exten
sion director, has received 03
reports from farmers who" are
candidates for the grade “A"
certificate as sponsored by the;
Agricultural committee of the
bankers organization, Mr. Shef
field has been studying these
reports so that certificates
might be issued to all those
making a grade of SO per cent
and above.
A typical example of a farm
er who is living at home and
making some money is M. L.
Adderholt of Lexington, route
4. Mr. Adderholt owns 106
acres of land of which 80 acres
are cleared for cultivation. Last
year he sold $1,707.04 worth of
produce from this place as fol
lows: certified small grain seed,
$510; veal and pork, $199.44;
garden vegetables, $35; sweet
potatoes, $20; Irish potatoes,
$16; eggs and poultry, $66.60;
fruit, $35; cotton, $360, and
truck crops, $400.
In addition to these Sales Mr.
Adderholt grows enough veg
etables and fruit for the use of
his family and some to save for
winter. He grows all the grain
and forage for his livestock;
has enough pork, milk, butter,
eggs and poultry for home use
and keeps his land in a high
state of fertility by growing
legume crops. He limes about
20 acres of land each year us
ing about 500 pounds of lime
stone an acre to keep the soil
in a sweetened condition.
The income of $1700 is almost
f clear net cash and chows the
possibilities of farming, even
during a depression period,
when good methods are follow
ed, says Mr. Sheffield.

Corn Planting
Our farmer friends have been
pretty busy during the past sev
eral days planting corn, and
from what we can learn, we
take it that a large majority of
them have finished this part of
the Spring work. Attention will
now be given to getting things
in shape for transplanting to
bacco. It is a pleasure to note
that there is every evidence of
the crop being curtailed
throughout this section. So far
as we have been able to learn
the predicted short crop of
plants is a false alarm.
