Urges Carolina Made Goods For Christmas Christmas Shoppers Will Be Fur nished a List of Articles Made In This State. In furtherance of its efforts to acquaint the people with and to encourage the use of North Caro lina-made goods by North Caro linians, the state department of conservation and development has been distributing to merchants of the state specially prepared lists of "North Carolina-made articles for the Holidays," The list Includes wearing apparel and accessories, things for the home, toys, books, and other articles designed to bring pleasure to their users. A statement accompanying the list points out thut Christmas shop pers are going to be buying useful things this year hiu! that “North Carolina-made goods, being largely of this type, will make a strong ap peal to the buyer. All the home made goods bought by our home merchants will give manufacturing plants additional working time, create “more wages und more buy ing power. Tills will give everybody a more cheerful outlook and serve to loosen tip the purse strings all the more.” In releasing the statement Direc tor Harrelson stated that it was the hope of ills department that mer chants would secure ample stocks of North Carolina-made goods il they did not already have them on their shelves, and that they would give prominence to them in their show windows, on their specialty counters, and in their advertising, aiuj that tflelr origin of these goods would be plainly indicated by ap propriate show cards and tags “North Carolinians, then should make it a point to buy as many of these home-made things os passi ble both for the use of themselves and family and for gifts to friends within and without the state, and I believe that our people will take pride In doing this if the goods are railed to their attention,” continued the director. "Money spent for things made in North Carolina keeps factory wheels turning. it pays more wages and thereby creates more purchasing power. Tilts keeps retail activity brisk T» fact, it helps all business, manufac turing, wholesale and retail. More over, neither the retailer nor the customer sacrifices quality, style or anything else in buying things made here in the state. Our furniture ha iery, silk, cotton, rayon, garment and other factories make as good or better products than do the fac tories of other state, and certainly the money we send out of the state doesn't stimulate any more business ■ here at home,’’ CHRISTMAS FARF.S !<> -VII Points on the SEABOARD •V'SO VII points in the Southeast 1 Southwest a n d Western j Destinations.

C.—Dr. W J, Mc Glothlin, president of the Southern Baptist convention expressed the opinion that pending proposals for a union of the Southern Baptist church and the Northern Baptist church are unlikely to advance to a stage "beyond fraternal co-opera tion and confidence." Dr. McGlOthlln, who i.. also pres ident of Furman university hen, said the executive committee of his denomination met in Nashville, Term., last Tuesday and appointed a sub-committee to confer with n like body from Northern Baptist church on the unification proposal.

High Point, Dec, 14.—Rev. J. D Barnette, former treasurer and as sistant pastor of the Green Street Baptist church here, exchanged a confession of the misappropriation of church funds and two notes, tot alling a face value of $869.97, for the forgiveness of his congregation at the service of that church yes terday. He turned in his ordina tion papers; the congregation of fered them back; and ho refused to accept them. , xicv. mr. BuniFw nan resigne'i in October to accept another chare;1 and after he was gene a $120 short age was discovered. Further Inves tigation revealed funds missing In the amount of $869 87. was present ut the congrega tional meeting yesterday when Rev George T, Tunstall, pastor , ex plained in a few Words to the con gregation what. had been discover ed. A wave of forgiving $entimurt swept over the 1.000 present and it was the sense of the meeting that with tire two notes in hand and the humble spirit of the confessed man before them, the thing to do Is to forget the Incident. It was indicated by Mr. Barnette that he will not again attempt tc do church work until the two notes have been satisfied in full. The completeness of the forgive ness given by his flock is believed to insure the fact that no appear ance of members of the church, whose treasury was looted, will be made, before the Guilford grand Jury. If this body gets evidence of the confessed shortage before it. It will probably bo on its own initia tive. Mr. Barnette is a native ot Cleve land county.

How one man missed a great: op portunity was |the theme of an ir tercsting little story Dr. D. Clay Lilly told at Reynolds Temple Sun day iliernoon as he was speaking on the program of the memorial service being held in memory of the late Richard J, Reynolds by the colored congregation that worships there. Dr. Lilly knew Mr. Reynolds very well and can tell many a fas cinating .story of his llie. • In the early years of his career Mr. Reynolds was his own stenog rapher and typist, only lie did both these processes in longhand. One while in New York he saw a type writer It attracted his attention ; * once and he interviewed man who was using it. This man explain* x the proce s of dictating letter., which saved the dictator a great deal of time. Mr. Reynolds offered the typist n job and an interest In his business if he would come to Winston. The man inquired^ life size ol Winston and contrasting it with New York declined the pioneer tobacco lead er’s offer. Whether thp man lived to see what a mistake he made, Dr. Lilly did not know. But that he re jected a magnificent opportunity everyone who knows anything about the success Mf. Reynolds achieved can very well appreciate.
