Every one of the sixty three has the request either expressed or implied to “make an exception in this one Case, | even if vou are already full.” You will all agree that making 63 exceptions would rather gum things up, and even one exception is not good business.

The only objection we have to the way the contest ended was that the winning was too easy. \\e hope that next year the winners wil! haveto hus- tle, more ways are being provided for earning of money every year but the saving lesson is just as necessary and somehow heep harder to learn. These prizes by the way are $15.00 each. The Other Prize ering too, just how would you take | to the idea of taking in a few more for the balance of the school term: Qur school is such that we are us ng a room in the office building fora class room, one room in the basement of Lottie Walker already is in use for classes, and to relieve still crowded conditions in the regular building we are now arranging another room in this building for classes. Please also remember this every- body, there is only room here for one ehidd for every 200. chusch pregmbers a family of five children uses up the membership of a church of 1006 members. “There are a lot more fam- ilies of 5 here than there are churches of 1000 members. ‘The big churches | = are as a rule the most liberal in support of the Orphanage and are so the most prolific sources of App cation. You people that have applications in at this time please just check up on all this. Wedo hate to refute your request for taking in children, and when we do it is not because we are unconvinced as to the need of the case,but it isbecause we can't provide room out of the air. When this issue of the Messeager comes from the press we will be in the midst of a series of services con- ducted by Rev. Daniel Iverson of Howard Memorial church ‘Tarboro.

The response to this was most encouraging the maj- jority of the articles were fine.

Basket Ball Troutman 8 Bar- ium 33 On Friday December 19 the Troutman High School girls challeng- ed our girls for « basket ball game for that night on the ‘lroutman indoor court Well we { given up the more basket ball juntil after the holidays, and hadn't everything. But we just upped and went down there and then we just upped and jbeat them. Boy Howdy! you ought to have seen that game, all the team | played good ball, but that, Francis | Boyce outplayed the whole works, idea of plaving | ‘ practiced, and- think is most needed at the Home at | good white paper and so it can be} Thanksgiving and Christmas hese two seasons are times when people everywhere seem to think of the orphanages and its needs. On ‘Thanksgiving contributions in| money and in food come in from all parts of the state, and a very large part of the | total support of the work comes in at that time. On Christmas the giving is even more liberal but is of a different kind, possibly not so important to adult minds but vastly more important to the younger members of our family. Since early in December requests have come from many places asking for names of childrento whom presents may be sent and the number of giftsthat finally rollin by Christmns is convin- ¢ing evidence that our people are not |only going to see to it that this family |of the church is going to be provided for in the necessities of life but are go- ing to be made happy at Christmas time too, We sometime haveto jog up the churches and other organizations about money to take care of ever | increasing numbers of dependent child ren but this is never necessary to get |a sufficient supply of Christmas pre- sents. Any increasein the number of children is prompiy taken-care of, and Christmas day finds an abundance for every body. Now just a word to the senders of these gifts. We try to keep track of these presents and-have the child _ re- ceiving each present acknowledge it to the giver, but many gifts will not be acknowledged. Sometimes it is the | lack of address, sometimes the address lis lost, sometimes in the rush it is forgotten, one woman generally be- ing responsible for forty children. |Simply checking in through regular | mail is no slight job and it is one that | too many people cant help with. | Allof which will explain’ why | many gifts will not be acknowledged, jana this will not be an indication jthat they are unappreciated. If any- body has any notion that there is a |lack of appreciatiation either on the | part of the grown ups or children, we lw ish they could hang around the do- lings of the eleven Christmas trees |that duly take their place here and estimate what the combined squeels of delight and joyful shouts could do if they all happened at the some mom- ent. It doesnt strain the imagination .o believe that the most distant spot in the Synod would at least get the echo from the shout. We thank you all and believe that }you yourselves get back through the ‘joy of giving some of the Christmas good times that you send us. Bank with us and you can Bank on us On Dec. 27 1922 Mr. Jos.

We have had more chicken pox for the last three weeks, and we still have a good deal now. Christmas will soon be here and we are all real glad and sure do want to hurry and open our presents, but we sure hope all the chicken pox patients will be gone when we open them. Last week Mr J N Lee visited his grandchildren, John, J. B., Mary Bell, Bleeker, and Morris Lee. Also Mr. Faulkner visited his children. We will close by wishing every body a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. —By PAULINE SHAVER LOTTIE WALKER First Floor We have had a very joyous Christ- mas this year, which is due partly to the fact that a good many of our old girls and boys were back to visit vs, Of course, we are always glad to wel- come them back for they always have some interesting tale to tell about their new career in life. And too, Santa Claus was unusually good to us this year. Most of all we have enjoyed lying in bed until seven o'clock. But the other morning several of us deciding that we needed a little extra sleep stayed in bed while evefyone else was at breakfast. Miss Adams noticed the vacant chairs and went out to inquire as to what it all meant. I den’t know just what she said to them, but you can easily guess for the result was that they cooked dinner on Saturday and Sunday. It was also amusing to note Miss Adams walking the hall, on the particular nights, with watch in hand, ready to give the seven o'clock alarm. ‘The members of the Senior ‘Christ- ian Endeavor Society were invited to a reception given by the Miriams of the First Church Statesville. We had a wonderful time. New Year's Resolutions areall we hear now that Xmas _ is over. Eloise ‘Taylor is determined that she is going to stop lying andtake up the trait of stealing. So beware of your trunks and pocekt books. Now that '25 1s at hand the Seniors are taking on all kinds of dignified airs Bertha Pritchard has alread “bidded”’ to get the medal for being good, Yes, since she sees that she stands no chance for any other. The Big Broom Keeping a clean house and Christ- mas too doesn’t go together worth a cent so just to let everybody enjoy the litter there was no awarding of the banner for gvodfhousekeeping for the month of December.

PUBLISHED BY THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME, FOR THE INFORMATION BARIUM SPRINGS, N.C., FEBRUARY, 1925 Gr: in FRIENDS No. 4 Ida Belle Bowman Back in 1913 a little five year old girl entered the home from Mount Airy, for 4 years Annie Louise cot- tage was her home, about her ninth year it was discovered that she had tuberculosis. She was sent to Fair- view Cottage Sanatorum Ashville for treatment. After eight years there, she died and on January 27th, 1925, her body was laid to rest in the little cemetery at Barium Springs. all chis time she never regained suth- cient strength to visit Barium, but her love for the place was manifest in her desire to have her last resting place here. It was at her earnest request that her body was brought here tor burial. During During the eight years she was a- way many changes had been wrought here. Those who remembered her, (there are only thirty six children at Barium now that were here when she left) remember her as a little Annie Louise girl. It was hard to recognize little Ida Belle in the Young woman whose last remains were laid to rest here. Only two children now on our roll were here when Ida Belle first came to us. Although separated from us Ida Belle was still one of us and shared with us allthe good things and bad that was our lot. Every year some of us visited her, she kept in close touch with us at all times. “The orphanage looked after her, providing her with her needs and doing everything that could be done to restore her to health. Ida Belle’s life during these years was beautiful, although shut in and denied pieasures that we and others think necessary to our happiness her cheerfulness and gayety of manner put to shame our oftentimes gloomy moods She was the life of the great Sanator- ium where she was for such a long time a patient. Any one going to see her need only mention her name Everybody there knew her, the servants when asked about “Miss Ida Belle” always brightened up. She was universally belov- ed, her unselfishness was her outstand- ing trait. Although for over half her life hghting a hopeless battle against a dread disease, her first thoughts were always for others. Her death was as her life, not one word of fear or dread or doubt about herself. Her only concern for her loved ones that their grief be light- ened. May her life inspire us who have been granted health and length of days that were denied her, to do with our lives as she did so fully with hers. ALEXANDER and DAIRY As we did not say any thing in the last Barium Messenger some of our friends missed us, and wanted to know if our reporter was sick. I suppose he was, and I guess they will think he is still alive by this news being short. We were glad to have Robert Hess (Fox) with us last week end. He is always a welcome guest. We are glad he 1s getting along so well, and we appreciate the good home and nice people he is with. Mr. I. N. Alexander of Gastonia was a welcome visitor last week.

Brown began his pastorate of Rae- ford Presbyterian church, and closed that pastorate with his sermon last Sunday morning. Since he began his pastorate, the membership has doubled. A new and commedious church has recently been built and we doubt if a more united and harmonions'y working body exists anywhere than Raeford Prosp\terian church In official circles not a jar or in- harmonious tone has ever sounded. Mr. Brown is a man who never in- terferes in the fields of other activities. He attends to his own business only. As apreacher he is strong always orthodox and bas an unusual zeal for his Master’s service. He is an ideal pastor as all Raeford will verify irrespective of denominat- ion And his wife. She can never be replaced in the hearts of Raeford. As a lady aptly put it: She cannot be re- placed for there are no more like her. And the other members of the fam- ily have gripped with hooks as of steel the people of the community. We are suffering an irrepairable loss! But they think first of service to the Master and while they feel towards Raeford as Raeford feels towards them still they make the sacrifice for His sake. —Hoke County Journal.

We sure do have to guess a lot before we know what they are saying. Christmas day one of the big girls father came and Mrs Purdy got up to the door and Hattie Michael! said “Mrs Purdy its just a man,” Ha Ha everyone who doesn’t know about the babies ought to come to see them. They can make you laugh. Anvone who has a frown on _ their face and are gloomy just come over bet you will lose your frown the min- ute you step in the door. To anyone who is not as fat as I am, I, Louise Gutford, wills my job as getting up the babies, to them. Come. All the babies miss Charlie Moore be- cause he always passed by and stopped to play or talk with them. Wanted a weight to hold Lorena’s tongue down as itis wagging from morning till night. —BEATRICE MARK = Wash Day When wash day comes ‘Then xs the end of the fun ‘That seems to come that day. For mangle girls begin to count their sheets by ond-two-three; ‘The steam press hissing with steam does stand to press the pants, When the matron commands. But the ironing girls oh me! oh me! The trouble they do seem, Theres nothing done right in the boys sight Ifthe shirts were atiny bit unwrinkled If the pants would be nicely creased.

Really if our topic ‘wasn’t Laundry and we were not such an ambitious set of girls this paragraph would not be half so interesting. The laundry is getting along nicely even betterthan the sewing room; maybe! anyway that is what they tell us. Ifyou should happen to come down about the time we are ironing Jenny Gilmer boys Sunday shirts you might get the wrong opinion of some of us. Oh! they are terribly hard boys to please. If we would happen to get a little too much starch in the col- lar of their shirts or the tinniest wrinkle in the front they would never get through quarreling over it. Eva Harris who has rather a sweer dis- position—if you don’t overturn it—be- came thoroughly vexed one day and said “Oh! I do wish those old boys didn’t have to wear shirts.” Let us not fret Ironers; maybe we don't have as near the hard work that the washing girls do having to wash ail their old dirty overalls and work shirts. You may not hear much from us in a good while unless the Jenny Gilmer boys cease to fuss about the way thev want theirshirts ironed. They are particular I guess because they go to see their girls every other week, MARIE EDWARpDs MARy CRAIG Miscellaneous Gifts A correction; Old Fort; Siloam Womans Aux. two quilts instead of one, as reported in January issue of this paper.

They all had a most delightful Xmas. Santa was lavish ia his gifts of toys and good things to eat. He left ten wagons, sleds and every other kind of nice toy that boys like to playwith. We take this op- portunity of thanking all our friends over the state that made possible our happy Xmas. One of our most appreciated gifts was a big box from Miss Jones of The Childrens Home of Winston Salem a former student matron who roomed in our cottage while here. Our boys are delighted with the division that has been maue in the first grade. The little folks that go to the basement think their little table and room so nice, After the first day over there Hilton Hall our baby came home andtold his matron that he was on the honor roll. Speaking of honor roll did you notice folks that every pupil was from Synod Cottuge that made the honor roll in the first grade last month. The following boys have been on the honor roll every month since schoel started Jast fall—James Johnson, Charles Kline, and Bazel Kelly. Synods boys are deeply greived over Charlie Moore's death. He lived in our Cottage a number of years and was much beloved. He was pro- moted from our cottage to Lees about 18 months ago To make ioom for a new boy near Morganton, Clarence Link, we had to promote one of our boys, Willard Ayers was selected and moved to Lees. While we regret giving up Willard, we are deliphted to welcome as fine a little fellow as Clarence to our Cottaye circle. Hilton Halil was the happiest boy on the campus Christmas Eve night because his daddy come to tee him. Mr Hall spent several days with him. Mr and Mrs Browning spent a week with their children, Sarah, Clyde, and James Johnston Christmas. G C Hand’s father came him too during the holidays. Mrs Cumbie of Winston visited her children, J. L. and Albert Cumbie. Mrs Beaver of Statesville spent Sat- urday afternoon with her children. Eimer Beaver was delighted to have | a visit from his mother Xmas ay. Sixteen of our boys joined the church during the meeting last week. We are grateful that so many of them took this important step and hope they are going to grow and make strong Christian men that will honor the cause. D-. Craig completely captured our to see boys and they hope he will hold an- other meeting for us some time. Mrs. Lynch Watt of Colorado and Mrs Warwick of Chattanooga, Tenn.; two of the new matrons are rooming in our cottage. We are de- lighted to have them. Sticking Up for Father. Three boys were boasting about the earning capacity of their fathers. The first said: “My father can write a few lines, cal) it poetry and sel] it for five dollars.’ The second said: “My father can draW a few lines, put a few dots on them and call it music and sell it for ten dollars.” The third said: “That's nothing,my father is a preacher and he can write a few lines and get up in church and say them, and takes six men to carry BARIUM MESSENGER Cur meeting commencing Monday January 12th and ending Friday night January 16, was enjoyable and _ prof- itable. The song services conducted by Mi. Roth of Mooresville Second Church was a vital part of the services and Mr. Roth strengened his already strong hold on our affections. ‘The sermons of Dr. E. M. Craig of First Church Hickory, were helpful and inspiring and to us the messages we seemed to most need.

The Justice of the Klansman When the shadows fall around, And the queer shapes spring from the ground, There in the moonlight sounds The baying of the bloodhounds As through the night there speed The doer of the dirty deed Here comes the Klansman on his steed Bending and swaying like a weed Then cruel justice he meets out To the cowardly, cringing lout With the life blood on his lips From this world the criminal slips The Klansman from his steed gets down As the others come circling ‘round He said, “Men I want you all to hear ‘Mary’ was my own sweet dear And her murderer I swore to hound Till he was six feet under ground” He swore a terrible oath And seizing the murderer, his neck he broke Suddenly he seized him by the feet And wrapped him in his own white sheet Then into a huge crack That showed in the earth like a finger bluck He cast the corpse of ‘Big Black Jack’ And after him he plunged headlon Upon his lips a dreadful song Again upon old Jordans Shore Perhaps the twain shall meet once more (WHO KNOWS) Pretty Customer—“Of course I want my shoes to be plenty large en- ough but at thesame t ime I want them to look neat and trim,iyou know.” Shoe Clerk— “Il see.

This wont get to you till some time in next year cause the male service aint much good down here. 1 was goin to send you a radio but it took all the money | had left to send one to Edna in Chi. They make you pay for the address an when Id put down Missus Jack Keefe an the street number an all I The yoman in the offis says you better sign only had money to say love, it or she wont kn.w who its from so I did- ent think till Id gone of corse shed of I did an it took my last dime. knowed it was her husband sending love an I nearly went back to get my dime but that yoman is hard to argue with, so I dident. So, Al, Im broke ill pay day on ac- count going ashore in Callao. Whats more I feel like Id a months sleep to make up what with the excitement an all. But as ] laughinly say what care we its Xmas eve and there werent no general quarters today cause evrybody was fixing up the ship for Xmas with flags an ribins an little trees an things, The fifth division has got a cosey cor~ ner with a Xmas tree an the marines have got there place all dolled up an every one has done something to fix up his compartment which is what us shellback, call the places we live in in our joking way. Youd think theyd say apartment insted an I ast Halligan why an he says you poor boot did you ever see a apartment with a five inch gun in it an} neverdid Al. Did you? Well Al we bin cruzing along the coast toa town called Mullendo. Re- member I said their werent no grass or trees in Callao? Wel] it isent the park comishioners fault. Its like that all along. The chaplain as we call our navy minister here on board says its because it never ranes here that all the ranes hit the other side of them high hills an bust down on the other side. All this country isdry as a chip an I bet Clark Griffith would give a million dollars if Washington was like that. No posponed games nor rane checks. But I was going to tell you about what I seenof Molleno which isent much but I guess their isent much to see. its a little town on the side of big yellow mountains an the waves is so high on the beach you haf to go ashore in a bucket. Not all the way you know, you just get out of the boat that you go ashore in in a buck~- et an they hist you up like a bag of spuds. The raleroad comes down from Bolivia their an they say the other end of it is at a lake thats two miles high in the mountains but I dont believe that. Their aint no water going to stay that high long enough to be a wet spot let alone a lake. ‘The water was full of fool birds. They was thousans of them swiming around. Theyd swim on topa_ while an then theyd swim with only their neck out like they was sinking then theyd yell help help likea guy with cramps and flop under water til] youd think they was drownded when theyd come up witha fish. Honest Al. We dident stas in this place but just long enough to let the general go ashore an now were going back to Callao. Well, | dont care. I had a good tsme in Callao, but if I go a- shore agen their lhope 1 dont miss that motor whaleboat agen. That Inca charged me ten dollars to bring me out to the ship in time to check in.

We could save soap bynot put. | { BARIUM MESSEN hat To Save ting so much in the washer:. We should count the clothes before put- ting them in the washers and be care- ful when putting them through one piece of machinery and another so as not to tear them, -hen count them be- fore letuing go out. ‘Taking the machinery as we could save it vy keeping it cleaned and oiled and see that no one abuses a whole it. We could using it when it is not needed. When save electricity by not we see the girls or anyone else let- ting it run when it is not being used just kindly go and tell them they are wasting and remember that it costs money. We can save water by not putting more in the washe’s than is needed. Always see that it is cut otf good be- fore leaving the laundry. If every one would practice what they preach I think every thing would run nicely and a lot weuld be saved. FRANCES BOYCE I think the home needs an in- larger rs door basketbal! court, also a church. I think the need the most is a new church. Our church is too thing we smal! because j them. when people come the church they fill up the seats and they have to put chairs in the aisles. So they say the church is so small that they would rather go to other church becausethey can’t get a good seat in our church so they leave some and just don’t come. So I think 2 new church would be the best thing we could gat. PAULINE SHAVER Mr. much JOHNSTON —There are clothes lost by not marking This can be remedied by a distinct marking of them and more than once, if needed. Food is lost by leaving it on the plates and not eating it. This can be stopped by taking of a little at a time, and taking more if wanted. Electricity is another waste by leav- ing the lights on all night. And not cutting off thefpower of the electric iron at the laundry. This can be stopped if we only think. Use yonr brains! Most all of the bnildings been repaired because taken gnod care of them as we could. We can do it. If wetry aud think how much money is spent on us ‘The waste of coal is great. And We can stop it if we only use as much as needed. And not th-ow it Water is another waste by the water running, have we have not away. leaving at night and day. Cut it off every time you turn it on. Another waste is paper. We only use one side and throw it away. We could save paper and money by using every nook and corner. My advise is tu: use Stop!, and think what means! yonr brains the word save! Yours sincerely, CLYDE JOHNSON It seems as if the word been forgotton. We have a habit of furniture against the walls; makes holes in the wall scratches the furniture. times drive nails save has bumping the which and also We some- inte the wall and cause it tocrack, and the plaster often falls off.

We are careless obout our clothing and dont take care of them as we shculd when a hole or split is torn in them we leave this little matter aione until it is too late,then they are not fit to wear. We can save the food also by not taking off on our plates more than will be eaten. When we take more food on our plates than we care for This could be saved.

We ought to save our brooms and we can do this by not sweeping on the same side all the the time and when we get through sweeping set them up on handle and we can save that way. Also there is lots of soap carried around to the cottages each weak and about one fourth of all that soap is wasted, thrown carelessly around not thinking of how much it is up a costing. Now we can prevent ali this waste by seeing thar there is no soap left in water and dont use to much but al Ways stop and think and see if you are going to waste.

Sam called Samson for short by his friends at college, had taken only a nominal interest in his fathers business. Beyond knowing that he belonged to numerous boards of directors and seem- ed always amply supplied with money, he knew very little about his What Sam had been more interested in than anytning else was athletics, and his post graduate work at the Un- iversity was really for the purpose of getting one more year on the base- ball team. He played foot-ball, bask- et ball and base-ball and loved them Feeling that the making of money was a minor consideration he was still enjoying college life and the place he had won for himself there than all. by his athletic prowess rather starting out to make his living. Sam was twenty-four, sixfeet two, weighed 180 and with his curly red hair was good to look upon. At the time our story opens his face wore a troubied look, not one of grief but rather of bewilderment. He was now speeding on a fast train in response to the summons above mentioned. It was hard for him to think of his father in trouble of any kind. All his memories of the strong gray haired man were of his energy. his masterful- ness his readiness to help others, never had he seen his father gloomy, or helpless or apparently in need of help orsympathy. He was always the per- fect provider. ‘This accounted for Sams indifference to money, there seemed no need for him to make any particular effort to provide for bimself, with this efficient and affectionate father whose delight seemed to be to anticipate his sons wants. True at times his father had asked him rather queer questions about himself, as to his future, his aims and ambitions, but at Sams rather joking answers had changed the sub- ject always with a sort of an embar- rassed laugh as if he touched some- thing that needed an apology. As the train neared the foot of the mountains Sam remembered some of things he had heard about his father, some his father had told him himself. How he had been raised in these very mountains, how as a young mountain lad with only the beginning of a coun- try school education, he had gone to work for a lumber company. How his knowledge of the mountains, the timber and the people, had made him very valuabie to the lumber company, then by several shrewd deals he had aquired a share in the company andthen control. How this lead to other things until the “Old man” had grown to be the most powerful man in this mount-, ain section. Foi years they had made their home in Asheville, going there first with his bride of a year. It there that Sam the only child had been born and it was there that his mother had been buried while he was yet just a twelve year old boy. The father had never remarried but had spent his energies in providing for this boys wants, Sam remembered with a warm feeling of affection his fathers intense interest in his school progress, in his friends and his other activities. When the time came for college and during his years there the old man seemed to grow less interested in his progress, seldom visiting him al- though his business called him often to within a few miles «f Chapel Hill. As Sam thought of these things he wondered if his father had had troubles that were never told to him, if his was seeming indifference was only preoc-, cupation over matters that might be causing him sleepless nights.

Just two days before Mr. John Smith had called Mr. Peabody in and gave him a few documents for delivery to Sam, he had stated that he was go- ing to leave town for a time, and that the papers to be delivered to his son were of vital importance. “This let- ter is to be handed you first and then this document under seal.

JENNY GILMER COTTAGE Personalities Involved A countroversy having arisen bysome of our vitriolic, tempered students as to the journalistic ability of the reporter of happenings, and observation: of the occupants of the Jennie Gilmer dom- icil. I do not wish to mak any indiscreet statements in this disputatious diffe: en- ce and trusting that al] the boys will co-operate with me, I will proceed with the matter at hand. As commencement approches we are adjusting ourselves for all kinds of athletic events. As we boys are dis- inclined to emerge out in the frigid climate before breakfast to pratice run- ning, pole vaulting and other such eyents. Robert Beattie seems to be the fore- most candidate for the clock each week he has getten it every week for three or four. jennie Gilmer isin fine shape but our house boys get indolent once in a while and renounce their privilege of cleaning up. We will all be glad when the weathe gets ardent enough to merge in the wel come waters of the swimming pool. The Glee Club has been preparing to givea very unsophisticated program Friday nite, April 3rd. We all hope that it will be auspicious. N. B.—Robert Beattie has gotten the clock for the fourth straight week. “Pug” Holland was also leading can- didate this week.

So, gazing upward to Thy face, Our step adjusted to Thy pace, And led by Thee from place to place, O, Lord, protect us with Thy grace, And follow us.” An incident recently shows what Synod’s boys think of their matron. While she was away she wrote a let- ter to her substitute in which she said, “I know you will have no trouble for they are the best boys in the world” That evening the substitute matron told the boys what she said and in- stantly John L.

On last Saturday it was decided to let the girls havean afternoon so at least a hundred and fifty went in that day. And look what the weather had to go and do, before swimming on Monday it had gotten so cold that the water in the pool stopped looking friendly and ing and looked right dangeous and hang around it. now just invit- sullen and nobody would even Why it looked so unattractive that some of the smaller ones that had been working so hard and saving up every penny to buy them- selves new bathing suits decided to just draw their savings outof the bank and go on a candy spree and for- get all about the old pool.

One of them dipped her hands in the pure stream, another plucked berries till her fingers were pink, and the third gathered flowers whose fragrance clung to hands. An eld haggard woman passed by and for some gift, but all refused her. Another woman, plain and with no claim to beauty of hand, satisfied her need. The old woman said: “It is not the hand that is washed in the brook nor the hand tinted with rea nor the hand garlanded and perfumed with flowers young that is most beautiful, but the hand that gives to the poor.” As she spoke her wrinkles were gone, her staff was thrown away, and she stood there an angel from heaven.

BuRIUM MESSENGER The Lunatic Legacy Feeling sure that he was on the eve of a great discovery, Sam moved quickly in the direction in which he had seen the paper, but because of the darkness and the dazed condition in which he then was he stumbled and fell with great force, twisting his foot in the fall. The excruciating pain must have caused him to faint for the first thing he Was conscious of, was that a great roaring one-eyed monster was rushing down upon him out of the darkness. By almost superhuman effort he man- aged to roll over to one side just the through express swept through the tunnel leaving him trem- bling withffright and exhaustion. It was several minutes before he could scram- ble to his feet but the cold water that was running over him from a fissue in the rock served to bring him back to a realization of where he was. By this time his eyes were accustomed to the darkness so that it was possible to see the blurred outline of objects. By grasping a jutting rock he was ble to pull himself out of the ditch and ice cold water. There beside his hand was the piece of paper he had seen by the light of his match only a few min- utes before, although it seemed like an age. That it was the same paper he recognized by its jagged outline. Of course he was all eagerness to read it but unfortunately he had used his last match. as train What was he to do? He would have to get out of the tunnel in order te get light. His foot, now that he was moving about, was paining him considerably and this tended to so ber him and plan his exit more carefully than would otherwise have happened. By looking first in one direction and then in the other, he could see a faint glow in one direction but inky blackness in the other. Realizing this glow must be the ~earer end of the tunnel he started in that direction, walking as best he could in the d ark- ness and with a lame foot. _Fortun- ately there was a fairly smooth foot- path between the track andthe wali of the tunnel and with exercise his foot began to feel better so that he made fairly good progress. Suddenly a deafening roar heard behind him and laying flat against the wall escaped injury from the long freight train that was rushing through to the valleys below. After this interruption he pushed on and in a short time come suddenly into the bright sun- light for the sun was rising over the hills in the east. Sam was now eager to see the slip of paper which he had in his pocket, but he was sore and his foot and bruises pained him so that he was thankful for a seat on the boulder in the warm Now that he could reac the paper he was afraid to read to find out his fate, fear ful of what it might or might not tell. Carefully drawing it from his pocket he saw that it roughly matched the paper in his shirt pocket and was cer- tain the one he had first seen in the tunnel. But the first quick glance showed him his fate was not to be re- vealed by it. It was merely a scrap of paper hurled from a train that had found lodgment in a crevice there to be picked up by him. On it was a date two or three years previous to this time which conclusively showed it had nothing to do with him. ‘This was a blow to Sam. As he sat was sunshine. on the stone he began he first time, to think seriousiy of what he was doing and he began to realize how foolishly he had been acting. His conduct was worthy of the most untutored mind. Essentially he had been governed by the idea of luck, of fate, in fact, the chief motive was very near superition. The action of his father he began to realize, was that of an unbalauced mind, or else it was i | designed to wake him out of himself toa realization of how unpre pitable | his life was becoming —how vain his | ambitions.

Vhe judge, after passing sentence — said: “Vhe trouble with you is that you’re too grouchy. You don’t smile. If 1 were grouchy this morning with all these people before me, I'd have the jail full. You should smile 3 times a day—morning, noon, and night. At the end of a week look into the mirror and you'll see yourself live years younger in appearance. In- stead of twenty-two you look like thir- tv-five. If you continue you'll look like seventy when you are forty.”— N.C. Christian Advocate Why We Lose So Much Sleep About the most common place thing we ever heard is the fellow who has a weakness for something to eat all of the time, the kind especially good for increasing blood pressure. But the point directed to in this item is, we have a birthday dinner for every month in the year, and each child having a birthday in any month of the year is entitled to a place at this birthday table as soon as their birthday comes around. Heretofore, with the exception of one or two instances, a certain fellow promiscuous around the campus, has been present at every birthday dinner. We do not understand how this was made possible---to have a_ birthday every month in the year--- or be per- mitted “to get on” every special occasion of this kind. “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's.” i CLOTHING RECEIVED | Charlotte, Tenth Ave church ss_ class 1 box.

Could Na- poleon have been the general he was, wearing soiled clo.hes? Could Ade- laide Patti have thrillea the hearts of thousands without immaculate linen? No, there is a feeling of self respect a d conhdence, really an inspiration, in wearing clean, well ironed clothes Next tothe Kitchen and our splen- didly kept dairy, the Laundry is the Most import: ace on the Campus. Want Ads Garden hose to use in scrubbing. A Jaundry matron who will let us do as we please. Awnings for our east windows. Electric fans. Something to keep our hair in curl. Something to cool temrers.

We are glad to have Louise Gut- frey with us as she understands how to work and to keep at it, but she stops gaining flesh, we will have to press her after we finish the overalls, if in- deed we ever get through with that task. We are glad we don’t have boys working our mangle for we have heard they say bad things when they get angry. When Marie is missing, we look for her in the tree tops playing with the birdies. Wonder if thats what the girls were eating with salt last week? Mary brings compact to the Laundry be- cause “He” works near by. (and you never can tell) P. S.— Mary denies the above charge. We laundry girls would be lots happier if the sun didn’t shine on our ironing boards. We have discoved what is the height of Eva's ambition—to be z “washer lady.” Eugenia is asking to be her partner in business. When it was announced in the dining room that we were to have a Mutt and Jeff entertainment this afternoon Eugenia said “Please Mrs. Watt, don’t punish me today.” ‘The laundry group leoks sad since Garland Caudill has left; he was so good to keep our machinery oiled and was so pleasant about it. We do not wonder that Marie cried. We areglad for so | many thing; one is that we do not hear the boys fuss when their shirt are not ironed as nicely as they should be. If you do not believe it pays to be kind, ask Mildred and Fra.ces where they get fried chicken and biscuit. A class from Tenth Ave. Church Charlotte visited us recently and we hope they will come again— we en- joy our visitors. Miss Fleming visited us last week we hope she will be well enough to come to us secon, Effie is a busy girl When she is not practicing her music, she is on the back porch starching her dresses.

Music Miss Bell Smith Miss Aanie Foster Another Good Turn There are friends sometimes that will do you a good turn and then leave you alone, and then there are others who just keep on doing things for you until every time their names are men- tioned you just have a pleasant thrill. Mr. and Mrs. S. P. Stowe of Belmont belong to this latter class. Qf course everybody on the North end of the campus know al! about them on account of the Baby Cottage, this being their gift to the Home. Now that seems like one whale of a gift and it isthe most popular place on the whole campus. It might be thought, however, that the knowledge of this name might not have penetrated as far South as Jen- nie Gilmer Cottage, but it has and in a most delightful manner. During the past year and a_ half since the big boys have been living in this cottage there has been broadcast- ed hints by th score that thei. living room was not furnished. The ori- ginal old Victrola had been salvaged from third floor Rumple, it is true and a big rug also rounded up helped a little to make this room look like somebody lived there, but just some old plain dining room chairs was all tha. could be found for sitting in. Now of all those showers of hints those reaching Mrs. Stowe took, and just a short time ago she presented for furniture for this room a check for $250, which she had interested the Auxiliaries in Kings Mtn. Presbyte ry in giving. Then we took that $250 and did a piece of trading and as a result there is now in this same living room enough real chairs and settees to com- fortably seat every boy in the house, and on Sunday morning when the big Bible class meets, it is only necessary Greensboro | __-Clothing | -Annie Louise | Pha. | thing from seven years down back to to. bring in enough chairs for the vis- | tors. Say, sometime just take a look, in land see if we are not fixed up, that | money did certainly stretch over a lot | of furniture, and it just made the w hole |South end of the compus feel dressed | up. Even some of the boys in Lees lwashed up and brushed their hair | without being reminded of it, getting | reads for the day whentney can sit | around in Jenny Gilmer’s sitting room. Ask anybody around here tf they }know whothe Stowes are and they will tell you that they are members of ‘Santa Clause family that don’t confine their activities to Just one day in. the year. And another thing when the boys bound o.t that the women of Kings | Mountair Presbytery did this thing they were not a bit suprised for a many of the Jeany Gilmer boys now were Alexander boys a few years ago land they remember quite w ell, the | pood offices of these women toward that cottage. | } Little Joe’s Church Our church services under the splen- \did guidance of our pastor Rev. W. | C. Brown continue to grow in popul- arity. Thecongregations continue to grow andthe wonder is how our little | church holds the number. Mrs. Wakefield whose husband |was the first pastor of this church | tated that it was comfortably filled in |his day when the number of children was about half the present number. | As it is now we have to send every- ltheir cottages from Susday school, and then watch with acareful eye to jsee that every grown up is sitting iclese up to his or her neighbor and |that every child is sitting sideways so \that everybody can getin. Sometimes we know if every child on the long middle benches would suddenly turn with their backs to the bench it would | push the ends out. | We have deen thinking of doubling | up by Jetting all the larger folks hold | the small ones on their laps. | Of course during the two summer ' months the congregation will be les- ) sened somewhat on account of the {number that will be away on vacation, but look out next fall. Steps are being taken to either | remodel and enlargeLittle Joes church lor build an additional building, and | we hope this will be done soon. Mrs. John Wakefield | We were most delighted to have as our guest for a week Mrs. John | Wakefield, the widow of Rev. John | Wakefield the superintendent of the | Orphans Home from 1908 to 1910. Mr. Wakefield died very suddenly after two years service as the head of |the Institution and this was Mis. | Waketield’s first visit since. We hope that we can have a repe- ltition of this visit at least every year, land if Mrs. Wakefield gets anything i like the pleasure from being here that |we doin having her we know she will cone. | Three men, an Irishman, a Swede, and a Hebrew, were brought to court. The Hebrew was arrested for stealing 'a cow, the Swede tor stealing a horse, | and the Irishman for stealing a wa- | gon. “Well,’ said the judge, turning to the Hebrew, “where did you get the | cow?” “T have had it every sence it was 4 calf,” was the reply. | “Where did you get the horse?” he asked the Swede. “I’ve had it since it wasa colt,” was the reply of the Swede. “And Patrick, where did you get the wagon?” asked the judge of th thief. “O, your Honor, I’ve had it since s My Prayer I pray not Lord, for wisdom rare, Or fame that would my praises bear The Lunatic Legacy On headlines ‘eros; rhe land.

New Comers No new cottages have been added this year and yet new children contin- ue to trickle in* Just as children are placed back in their homes or go out to take work, new comers are accepted to take their places. Of course the summer time is when most of the new unes come in. Graduation and other changes take place then so that at least three fourths of the new child- ren come in then. Also as a conse~ quence just before summer the wait- ing list is the longest, and the pressure to take in morethan our capacity the greatest. Since January Ist., the following have entered: Clarence Link, Mor- ganton; Gladys, Hazel, and Denzil Cartrett, Concord; Ruth and Lillie Bobbitt, Jonesboro; Charles Owens, Charlotte; Alice, Eloise, Lois, and Walter Mott, Wilmington; and with- in the next few weeks two will come infrom Mecklenburg, one from Jones boro and one from Durham. : BAR I1UM MESSEN up in a minute; it; born, and then en good, an’ men; wouldn't part 4 into yer hart; t’ sit and sigh, angel come, sanctified; ories cape from these. t romp an’ play, ‘em each day; year by year one dear Who used t’ love ’em ‘em jes’ t’ run mornin’ sun; lar up t’ dome: home.

We haven’t much news for this time. Ina Mills, one of our best babies who left some time ago to stay with Mrs. Hill in Statesville, came home a few days ago. We want to Welcome her back. We also have a new boy in our cot- tage, Walter Mott he came over a few days back. Weare all glad to wel- come him and hope he will like to stay with us. His sister, Eloise came over too, as one of the workers. A certain man on the campus (a good friend of ours,) brings us some thing good to eat every times he goes to Charlotte. He brings enough for the little babies and alsothe “big ba- bies.” The babies are having a good time playing in the woods. We took the babies to the show the other night. We know they enjoyed it as much as we did. John is going to leave us soon. He is going to Synod as soon as Roy gets back. We all miss him and hope he will soon be back. Lorena said she would miss John the worst because he helps her make up beds. A lady from Statesville comes to see us often and always brings her arms full of cakes. The babies sure do en- joy them. Eugene Shannon was delighted with a visit from his clothing people They brought him some nice new clothes and ne feels like a little dress- ed up man. Mrs. Purdy’s brother-in-law from Verdury paid her a short visit Satur- day. We were gladto have Mr. Kerr, and hope he will come again. We had apricots for breakfast the other morning and Alice Pittman called for “hickory nuts.” Yesterday Hattie Michael told one of the girls that she ate a rool and she told her it would kill her she said she didn’t care she would goto heaven anyway. We hope to have more news next time. —LETHA COPELAND Roundabout Vengeance.— “Jim, that necktie you are wearing is the worst I ever saw.” “Say, dine with us to-night, will you old man?” “Sure! But what’s the connection?” “T want you to repeat that remark before my wife.”—Boston Transcript. The Baccalaureate sermon on June 21st at 11 A.M. will be preached by Rey. J. S. Foster D. D. of Winston- Salem First Church. Dr. Foster is a member of the Board of Regents elected at the last meeting of Synod, and we are de- lighted that the Senior class invited him to preach and doubly glad he ac- cepted the invitation. He is one of the outstanding men of our church who in addition to serving the very large church at Winston-Salem, is a most valuable member of several im- portant committees and boards. On Monday of Commencement field day exercises will be the order of the day, from the pole vaulting and jumping pratices, it looks like some High School records will be broken» the Tennis Tournament will also take place that day. Monday night there will be exer- cises by the kindergarten and primary.

The other day Pearl Beaver weigh- ed and said she weighed one hundred and nineteen pounds, if she weighs that her looks sure don’t show it. One of our girls, Bleeka Lee, and one of the Synods Cottage boys, Jim- mie Little were visited by Mr. and Mrs. Marks. Jimmie is their grandson. They took dinner in Statesville and we hope they had a nicetime. We want to extend a cordial invitation to them whenever they can come. Any one else too. Just think, school will soon be o- ver and then what, “Vacation.” We sure will be happy then. We have been planting and setting out flowers and we hope to have one of the prettiest ower gardens on the campus. The other day Louise Shoe came down here with a sprained ankle. She stayed down here two or three days and one morning she got up and was running and jumping around and Miss Brown said, “Louise, can’t you goto school this morning?” And then she limped as hard as she ever had and she said, “My ankle hurts, Miss Brown.” Well we will stop for this time with many adieux. MINNIE MCARTAN ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE Just think there is just one more m-o-n-t-h of school and then we will have all day to play, wont that be fine? Since our last news, Mrs. Fraley has been to Cleveland N. C. and spent a few days. Her daughter, Miss Thel- ma Fraley. was our matron. We cer- tainly did enjoy having Miss Fraley. Mr. Lowrance has given us our summer slippers and it wont be long before we can wear them on Sunday. Weall will be glad when it gets hot weather so we can get a splash in the swimming pool. Miss Compton went home Mother's day but we are sorry to say she found her mother not feeling well. We are practicing some songs for commencement and it certainly does make us feel like school is nearly out. Mable Kline’s father was here last Saturday, and spent a few hours with her and her brother. Woman always pays suppcsedly “What makes you look so fatigued? was asked an undersized Arkansaw Cityan the other day. “Well, its like this,” he replied. “My wife is walk- ing to reduce, and she can only do it in the evening. She insists on me go- ing, even if I am tired. The past two weeks I have lost eight pounds and she has gained two ounces.” —Arkan- sas traveler.

Our babies Irene and Sarah Fort had a most delightful four days visit with Misses Beulah and Flossie John- son of Mooreville. Despite thethe long dry hot spell we think our flower beds quite pretty. We carry five buckets of water a peice. We do net mind that, for they are growinglike evcry thing We enjoyed having Ex-Governor Morrison of Charlotte for our mencement speaker. He was accomp- anied by his wife and daughter. We hated to see the Seniors but new children are fast filling their places. We will do our best to make them feel at home and that they are com- leave one of us. The crowning glory of the com- mencement fur our house was the scholarship metal in the grammar grades, won by Abbie Roper of the 6th grade. Abbie won this same prize last year. Well this is only her third. Watch her neat year. We are indeed proud of our sixth grade for the perfect recitation of the Shorter Catechism. With such a splendid Miss Vennie Joe “Templeton, shouldnt they? And such splendid reports on their other studies. We thank Miss Tem- pleton for her excelleot work. We had our first swim Monday. The water was cold, but who would stop for that? Mr-Moerrow.af Davidson was up to see Ruth, who left us Tuesday for a visit wich her sister in Lenoir. Hazel Bustle expects to leave this week to stay with her mother. Berchie Wilson left us Saturday to live with her sister in Kannopolis. We shall miss these two girls.

The reaction to this has been rather varied. We find that quite 2 few people do read only the headlines. We have received tele- grams, and phone calls about this and have had toexplain carefully a num- ber of times just what wesaid in the boby of the article that we were not actually starving but would have starved long ago if it were not for the banks and other people who credit us. We received some amusing letters too, but for the most part the people who read this article did just what we hoped they would do, and that was to get busy and send us in some money NOW. Just as asample of this We are printing below a part of a letter just received from the teacher of a class of 13 year old girls in Raleigh. “Wear Mr. Johnston: “A couple of weeks ago I read an article out of your paper.to my Sunday School class.

Many of the workers will take their leave to- morrow, while others the daily grind that the good work will continue may go forward. ‘The first note in the exercises was sounded Sunday morning at 11 o'clock when Rev. J. S. Foster, D. D. pastor of First Presbyterian Church of Win-: ston-Salem, preached the Baccalaure- ate Sermon in the school auditorum. Dr. Foster brought us a very forceful and timely message on the subject “Laborers together with God,’ use- ing as his text I Cor. 3:9. The mes- sage was especially addressed to the Senior Class, but before the speaker had finished many in the audience felt that God, the great architect, really had a plan for each life and that it is not only the privilege but the duty of the individual to findand follow that plan. Dr. Foster pointed out that our talents, regardless of what they may represent, are God’s by creation, and ours only as they are intrusted to us as trustees. There was one statement made by Dr. Foster, which we hope found its way into the heart and mind of every boy and girl who heard it, and that was this: “Any (God-chosen work is honorable work, and that work should be done with all our might.” Sunday evening at 8 o'clock, Rev. J. L. Hood, pastor of the A. R. P. Church at Troutman, preached the sermon tothe Christian Endeavor. Mr. Hood chose as his subject “Vision” useing as a text Prov. 29:18 and 26:19 Mr. Hood is very fond of young peo- ple and has had wide experience in phases of their work. His joy pointed various message was received with and appreciation. It out that in all realms of man’s activ- itivies vision is necessary for complete and ultimate success. The necessity of getting the vision from Gods view point was stressed by the speaker. Mr. Hood urged upon his hearers to be able to say with Paul:*Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision.” Monday was given overto Field Day Exercises in which all the usual stunts were in evidence. We are sorry that lack of space forbids our giving full results of these various con- Even though the day was hot, real was tests. there was no waning in interest on the part of the competitors.

One of the most a- mazing stunts they did wasto name the books of the Bible faster than you could count them. The song, “Sha- king Quakers,” was well rendered and enjoyed by all.

Diplomas, presented to them by Mr. T. L. O'Kelly, high school prin- cipal, were acknowledged by Robert Beattie for the class. Governor Morrison, introduced by General Manager Jos. B. Johnston, spoke on the subject of Reverence, which, according to Vhomas Carlyle is the most important thing in life. Mr. Morrison contrasted the Chris- tian religion with all other religions. Other religions scorn the blind; de- sert the weak, cast the widow and orphan; the Christion religion founded on the teachings of the Son of God, teaches reverence for every living soul—reverence, not pity. Rev- erence, respect, esteem, confidence and hope are among the characteristic of Christianity. In speaking of the wholesome and uplifting influences Of the children in the Home, Mr. Morrison said, “The children here are more tortunate than those of rich parents who kncw not God, in whose homes the Christian religion is not taught and reverence is unknown.” The church schools and colleges are doing a great work, they can teach religion; the schools can’t teach religion.

She seemed burst- ing with information and could hardly wait for him to question her. “There is a lady stayin at our house,” she said, “She come yestiddy and told Mammy she wanted to stay a month if she would board her.” “Is that so?” replied Sam, “What is her name?” “Her name is Miss Jenny, and she come from Asheville. She ts pretty as a picture, too = “Miss Jennie.” Immediately Sam thought of a certain day when he had been in the hotel in Asheville and Jenny Priest had read the crazy words on a slip of paper taken from the let- ter his father had left with Mr. Pea- body. He wondered if it could really be Jennie Priest. “The picture of her fresh young face and sparkling eyes had come before him recently with a persistency that he could not down. Was he in love with Jennie Priest? He assured himself that he was _ not. so constantly of late? He remembered her as she was when he had seen her occasionally while at home from cul- lege. He had danced with her once or twice the first summer and had taken her to ride, but she was not as fast as the other members cf his set, so she had soon been dropped. He remembered row that someone had said that she was going into some kind of charitable work but had not been sufficiently in- terested to inquire just what it was’ As he went on to school, he kept pondering over this and from thinking of this, his mind naturally reverted to his father and a sudden regret and loneliness swept over him. How he longed to see his father again! He was somewhat surprised at this feel- ing, for heretofore, if his thoughts had turned to the subject at all, it had been to conjecture as to the mystery connected with the crazy words on the slip of paper and the possibility of real- ly finding his father’s fortune. He had long since given up the hope of finding anything else and had not thought of the matter for several days. He reached the little schoolhouse and, after answering some of the chil- dren’s questions, he rang the bell for school to begin. But it seemed that he could not keep his thoughts on his work. Try ashard ashe might—still they would wander---first to the girl in the hoteland thento his father ashe saw him last. At last, the day’s work was over and he dismissed his pupils, unmindful, as they, sensifg the let-up of his custom- ary strict discipline, rushed noisily from the schoolroom, shouting and pushing and upsetting little Mary McNair who thereupon rolled screaming down the doorsteps. Sam, hearing her screams, rushed out and found the pupils disappearing downthe road and Mary still lying on thegrounug; her primer lying onore side of her and her dinnerbasket on the other, open, out of which a piece of ap- ple pie had fallen and was lying on the ground. While he was assisting Masy to her feet, a dog ran up and, seeing the pie gulped it down at one swallow. When Mary saw this she broke fortth again with louder lamentations than before, but Sam finally succeeded in sobs into sniffles, and, closing the schoolhouse, and taking her by the hand, he wa'k- ed down the road on his way to his boarding house. Coming to the path leading to the McNair cabin, he yielded to her pleas that he should walk home with her, possibly inthe hope that he might satisfy himself who the boarder really was. As they rouned a bend in the path, }rough exteriors really hide hearts of Vhen why had she been in his thoughts | he saw ahead of him, a young lady but could not recognize her at that distance. Mary, seeing the lady also, let go of hishand and ran forward, | calling at the top of her voice, “Miss | Jenny, Miss Jenny, Mr. Sam_ has come home with me.” Then, as he came nearer;the waiting girl, he realized with a start, that he really did l love Jenny Priest who stood before | him and that he loved her as he had never loved another girl, He could not define this feeling, yet it seemed to shake his very being and he could only stammer and stutter instead of | speaking. “Why, Mr. Smith! What in the world are you doing here! I never thought of you as a mountaineer school teacher!’ exclaimed Jenny. Explanations followed and he found that Jenny was doing welfare work among the mountain people. “These are really my people,” she said, “My mother was a_ native mountaineer.” “So was my father” said Sam and | like them now that I realize their gold.” Seating themselves on a log by the side of the pathway, they talked fo quite awhile and finally Jenny asked Sam what he had learned about the mysterious writing she had read in the hotel at Ashevilie. He told her of his experiences and added that he had given up all hope. “IT knew your father well,” she said, “and although some people said he did some mighty crazy things, 1| found there was a method in all of apparent madness. I believe that your fatherhad special reasons for doing this crazy stunt and, although | can’t imagine they should be, | am_ sure they are strong ones and I don’t think we should give up yet.”’ “T don’t care a rap for the money,” cried Sam, “but I would give any- thing to see dad Dad once more or just to know that he is safe and well.” “What makes you think that he is| not safe and well,” said Jenny. “Where inthe world can he be then,” Sam replied. “Didn't you say he was a moun- tain boy?” “What better place could he find to dssappear than right here among the mountains?” was the re- ply. “Tam almost tempted to try again,’ | said Sam. “Tomorrow is Saturday! and I will not have to teach school.” So arrangements were made to be- gin the following day and, after eating supper, they sat on the porch far into the night, discussing the Matter and wondering where to begin. “IF DOUBTFTL SUT DAR-| ING GET YOUR _INSPIRAT- ION WHERE THE CREEK DOES A TOE DANCE AND WATER RUNS UP HILL, FEED Y OU R_ IMAGINATION WHERE THE HILLS JUGGLE THE JUGGERNAUT. FIND YOUR INFORMATION AT THE 18th HOLE.” quoted Sam “T know the answer to the first part of the riddle—Andrew’s Guyser,” he added. “And the second part surely must refer to the hills and huge trains run- ning around and through them,” said Jenny, “but the reference to the eighteenth hole, I don’t understand. If your father ever played golf, I nev- er heard of it.” “He never did,” said Sam, “He de- spised it, and always said he never had time for such sissy games. So he couldn’t have meant anything con- nected with golf.’ Just then a shrill blast from the en- gine of afreight train, rushing down the track a few miles away, came to their ears, but was suddenly hush-d as the train entered a tunnel. “The Eighteenth tunnel,” Exclaimed Jenny, “Why didn’t we think of it be- fore?” In her excitement, she grasped both his hands and whirled him round and round in a kind of ;:mprovised dance. At the touch of her fingers a thiill shot through Sam and it was all he could do to refrain from crushing her to him, covering her lips with kisses, Pouring out his love for her and beseeching her to be his wife. But he reflected in time. What as- surance had he that she cared for him or, even if she did, what prospects did he have to get married on? Only a few dollars of a meagre salary he had earned since he had been teaching here. So he turned away saying goodnight and going within the cabin he climbed to the loft where he was to share the bed with one of the grown boys of the McNair family and Jenny went to her room and prepared to retire for the night. ‘The next morning he awaked early and, dressing hurried|!y, climbed down the ladder from the loft, only to find that all of the family were before him and even Jenny had made her ap- pearance. Breakfast was then served, consisting of fried chicken, hoe cake, gravy and blackberry jam and _ butter, served because of the double honor conferred on the family by the pres- ence of the boarder from the city and the school teacher. After breakfast a lunch was _ pre- pared by Mrs. McNair and Sam and Jenny set of across the woods tramp- | ing towards the eighteenth tunnel, which was only a few miles from the McNair cabin. Arriving near the tunnel ihey stopped beside a spring of sparkling water and ate their | lunch. Just as they reached the entrance, a train roared by and they shrunk back from the rush of air that fol- lowed it. They then entecd the tunnel and began to search between the rails and beside the track for any scrap of paper. Dheyv found several, but none of them had the least bear- on their quest. Returning to the east ertrance, they sat beside the track dejectedly, but, after they had rested, they began again and this time made a more thorvugh search, going over the ground inch by inch. Several times they they had to run from the tunnel to escape trains, rushing through, on their way down the mountain; for the tunnel Was [too nar- row to permit their remaining inside while the train passed through, with- out being crushed against the wall. Time passed swiftly and, by the time they had finished their second search, it was beginning to be dark outside the tuunel. They returned again to the east entrance and seated themselves on the embankment beside the track to rest. “What wasthe postscript on the note?” asked Jenny. “THIS MAY BE PRETTY, BUT FOR PURPOSE OF IDEN- TIFICATION, NOTHING BEATS A SNAGGLE TOOTH” replied Sam. Just then, a train rounded the curve and the light from the engine shown in the tunnel, lighting it up as bright as day. “Look, Look!” cried Sam. “Did you see iv?” He exclamed when the noise had sufficiently dim- inished to enable him to make himself heard. “Yes,”answered Jenny, “Just like a huge month with one snaggle tooth.’ Indeed, it had looked that way; for, near the roof about the middle of the left-hand side of the tunnel, was a peculiar rock formation left by the blasting of the tunnel—a crevice res- embling a huge grinning human mouth with a single tooth extending upward from the center of the lower jaw. Sam rushed in and ran to the place underneath the fissure but, try as he could not reach it. He tried to climb the side of the tunnel but could find no place for his feet; for cess? Just as the train was on him, the sides of the tunnel were smoother near the lower part. He tried to jump up and grasp the rock with his fingers, but could not quite reach it. Jenny had rushed in behind bim and now she, also tried to scale tae walls in fevered excitement but there were no projections on which even her small feet could not find support. Sam was in despair. “Lift me up, and let me get it,” said Jesny. Grasping her by the knees Sam swung her up and holding the wall with one hand and thrusting her hand in the crevice she pulled out an envelope. Just then a roar filled the tunnel ana looking up they were both horr- ified to see the light of an approaching train. Jenny stood as if petrified, but Sam clasping her in his arms, rushed towards the entrance to the tunnel. Would he reach it! Must they both be killed in the moment of suc- he reached the entrance of the tunnel, but his foot slipped and as he fell he thew Jenny fromhim with all his force but noted that sherolled from the track and disappeared down the embankment. “hen an excrucing pain shot through his leg and he knew no more, SSSTBISSTSIT SST assess sees TSS LEES’ COTTAGE { SSSSSSSSSSS sss esses sees We are very glad that school has let out and all you can hear around the cam us is “Did you make your grade” and “when are you going on your vacation?” Jake Barker gets on his overalls and is going out to work before we get down from the dinning room so he can get to drive “Beck” and “Kit”.

Our friends at these places have re- membered us and sent us some of the good things that they are raising this year. he good ladies of Lumberton sent us a bountiful donation of can- teloupes a day or two was to keep cantaloupe ‘They dug into those so fast and hard that and cur only trouble for seed out of the children’s ears. those cante'cupes didn’t last but two days. ‘hey were most thoroughly enjoyed. The week following this, Mr. S. P. Fesperman of Ellerbe, drove up to Barium and brought with him about ten crates of splendid peaches and also reported that the people around Ellerbe would be glad to donate peaches if we would come after them. We all got ataste from the crates that Mr. Fesperman brought and just two days later, our truck went down. The things they reported around Ellerbe would make your mouth water, and they brought enough peaches back to prove every word they said. We have been on a peach spree ever since the return of this truck, and now we have nothing but the peach stones to re- mind us of the great treat the friends of Ellerbe gave us. We don’t know but if we get an invitation we may go to some other place down in the peach county before this season is over.

By the way with our Matthews and | Marks, all we need is a few Lukes and Johns to sound like the New Lesta- ment. Mrs. Julia K. Morrison In January there died at Morven, N. C..an o!d) woman, Mrs. Julia | Morrison, who had all her life been | most frugal and saving. She owned a | pood deal of the land in the town and |some money in the bank. As she grew older her friends ad- vised her to stop being so careful of |her property and spend more on her- \self, that she had plenty to care for her | during the few remainiay years of her life and to enjoy it while she could. To this advice Mrs Mogyrison turn- eda deaf ear, and continued in her way of living unui! her death. Mrs. Morrison had norelatives dependent on her and this frugality practised by this aged woman up to the day of her | death, often doing with out what we | might call the bare necessities, might jappear foolish, if that were all the | story. s aus But thatisnt all, for at her death jthere was disclosed a purpose in her | manner of handling her affairs; she had willed practically everything she had to Barium Springs Orphanage and even her closest friends were amazed at the amount she had saved itor this purpose. In addition to bonds and other per- | propetry amounting to about $2500.00 |here is something like sixty acres that should bring from $6,000 to $8,000. The writer of hese lines on hearing lof this legacy, went to Morven toad- | vise with the executor about the hand- ing of this propetry, and to find out something about this fine c'd lady. Many things impressed us on that lyisit. The cordiality of everybody, their very apparent desire to see the | Orphanage get thefullest amount pos- sible from tnis legacy, the gratification that everybedy expressed that this splendid propetry should have been willed to this institution but most of all we were impressed by the descrip- tion of Mrs, Morrison.

Five Browns from Oxford—Bon- nylin, Sylvia, Richard and Esse(twins) and Robert Thomas. This is a rath er colorful family their name is Brown but Richards hair is red and Roberts is white. ‘Lhis last one is the baby and goes to join the white headed crowd inthe baby cottage. Richard goes to Synod and the three girls to Howard, ‘Then three Stones from Hickory, Marvin, Joy, and Bermice. The two girly going to Annie Louise and Marvin to Synods. Vhese are nice little Stones not the throwing kind, al- though none of us livein glass houses here. Then a young gentleman from Mecklenburg County named James Hannon, who is now residing at Lees Cottage. Virginia and John McDon- ald from Wilmington for Annie Louise and Synod claim that they like this! place as wellas Wilmington Then wehave a large family trom Pink Hiil, not Red Mountain, their names are Elizabeth, A. J., Norman Lee, and A. D. Potter, four of them, cout ‘em. This is a well grown lot of kids, we don’t know if this is be cause they are used to hanging around the pots a lot or not, it might be the way they got their names “Potter.’, Then right down at end of the Al- phabet aod from ,_Kinston came two land the wailings of “What is the | world coming to?” fail to dim that pic- ture. There is something so clean and wholesome about this whole thing jthat we want to keep this fresh in our |ownminds and to have it retold to those that tollow. We want this money to be used insome way that it will constitute 2 Memorial that will stand for all time, not the gift of a rich pers on, but the result of a life- rime of sacrificial saving for a purpose. And that puroose, the heiping not on- ly now, but in the future of chil- jdren that she had never seen. Sometimes when business is bad and money is tight 4nd we face re- trenchment in all lines, we are told that it will be impossible to continue to finance this gr eat work in the face of these changed conditions and while we hear this talk we also see the | greatly increased need for carrying on rhe work to its fullest emphasized by these very same business conditions, we don’t quite lose faith, but we do sometimes need a tonic for our faith. Then a matter like this Mor- rison legacy is brought to our atten- tion, and we see how God is working out His purpose for this great Institu. tion through the hearts and lives of His followers that we may know nothin about. It makes the weakening of faith Seem a very foolish sin. Appraising Local Art Annette Kellerman might appear as being perfect in figure and physigue as amermaid, but down at our ole swimmin’ hole alongside of “Red” Kelly, Synod Cottager, she would | look like 30 cents as 4 water nymph. | Red has about 8 milestones behind | him, but nevertheless he has created | considerable envy as a water artist. Es- pecially is this true of his “swan dive.” And he will admit that he is not as good today as he was in his old) days. ‘This cowboy stuff seems to nave) pervaded this localiy. “he other} day Bill Johnston was pulling a stunt | ride on our athletic field with his | pony. Acthe instance some folks! were passing in a car. car were having it nip and tuck. E- : The pony and ventually the car was outclassed, and the inmates burst forth with this ex- pression “ride him, cowboy.” We think Wm. Murrel will finally | land “buddy” to Uncle Sam as Post-| master General. He has all those qualifications, such as good lungs, ex- cellent disposition, stiff upperlip, (and | brass buttons could never put up more, fronting.) The only thing that dis- qualifies him is he thinks a train. car- rying mail has a freight whistle. Miss Lea and this young fellow attend to distribution of mail throughout the campus. His alertness seems to almost demand that he goto nearby stations, and there, meet incoming trains for | the mail so that service will be by far| all that its cracked up to be. The next generation will probably | stack up against some tough nuts in| teaching geographica! studies for there are about 26 Kindergarten babies who | can tell you which state bounds a state | the seven seas, also name island pos- sessions of the United Siates. In ad- dition to this their knowledge of the Bible is unlimited. ‘hey know all the books, and certain portions have been memorized. adie Things To Forget Forget the slander you have heard; Forget the hasty unkind word; Forget the quarre! and the cause.

Berry pickers have searched and researched the hills and dale for all they could---as a quarter a gallon was alright in view of about a_ half crop of fruit. Barium Springs Manse is gradually taking on that aspect of being a desir- able place to call home, and soon the finishing touches are added, we believe our pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown will be glad, not because hefhasho go toand fro fron, Statesville, but that he happened along this way.

What do >~—_ ee —— ———— BARIUM MESSENGER —- —- —_—— The Lunatic Legacy Sam’s first sensations on regaining consciousness, were very much mixed up. For a while he seemed to be trying to climb a very steep hill and ais shoes were hurting his feet, about the time he would, by extreme exertion, attain a fairly level place, a huge monster with blazing eyes, would rush at him mak- ing an awful noise and blow him back down the hill. Again he seemed to be trying to swim against a swift current with a weight tied to his leg, just as he would be about to reach a safe place a great quantity of water would overwhelm him and sweep him back. In all these half dreams there appeared two faces, one a beautiful girl beckoning him on, and a bewhiskered lithe man that chuckled and grimaced at every failure he made to arrive at his objective. After what seemed hours of this there came a period of complete un- consciousness and finally a waking up. Sam found himself sitting up in a bed facing a big hre in a small mount- ain cabin. Busying himself in front of the fire was a small man, with an unbelievable amount of whis- kers on his face, who talked to him- self and chewed incessantly. Sam recognized this face as the one in his dreams, and his first feeling was one of repulsion. With an impatient movement he threw the cover off and tried to stand up, a couple of steps and he found that his right leg would not support him. He would have fallen but for the quickness with which the little man sprang to his side. “Take your time Big Boy” he said. “Your leg didn’t break entirely off, but you have one daddy rabbit of a charley horse yet.” He eased Sam into a chair and kept up his chatter- ing. “Of course you were entitled to a broken leg bucking a freight train but the best they seemed to have was just a big bruise and the roof off my cow shed. Now if you want to «ry your luck again get on the other side of the track because it make me_ner- yous to have folks the size of you busting through in on me when I’m in the midst of milking, besides it gets the cow nervous. ‘That cow of mine was just contently working on her cud when you sat down through the roof in the feed trough and she just upped and swallowed the fool thing and now she can’t remember which of her three stomachs it went in. “Wait a minute,” begged Sam. “You make me dizzy, I remember almost getting out of the cunnel when the train caught us. Then I suppose the cow catcher pitched me up in air and I came down on top of your cow shed. Is that right? Then where is the young lady that was with me. how long have I been unconscious, and why in the Sam Hill did you call my bruised leg a Charley Horse?” At this the little man threw back his head and laughed, not a cackle but a full throaty laugh. “Now whos going too fast?” he said. “You are getting me swimmy headed too. You are right, the engine cowcatcher tried to but didnt catch you, while my cow didnt want but did catch you. You have been unconscious, asleep, or hav ing trances for 48 hours. The young lady was not hurt a mite, she came down to see how you lit, helped me doctor you up &.d started to sit a- round until you came to, but some- how you got to talking in your sleep, and after a while you got so darn per- sonal in your remarks that she just upped and went home. I think she must have been suffering from sun- burn from the color of her cheeks.” “Now as to my calling that place on your leg a Charley horse, that particular kind of misfortune has been my specialty fr forty years. In fact when it comes to knowing what to do for those little pets 1 have the conscious Mayo brothers whipped to a whisper. Without appearing to hand myself any flowers, the reason you Chapel Hill Billys have such a hard time beating another little team every yeer is Uncle Dudley is the offici.l manicure for these big stone because your bruises. Why Bud listen if you want to try something real hard dont pick on freight trains with nothing but empties, hit one with a downhill drag and fifty cars of coal behind it to make it solid. Then let me fix you up.’ Sam found himself laughing in spite of himself, but he was impatient to get some news of Jenny and the letter they had found in the tunnel, so he asked the old man if the young ladv had left any message or note. “Oh yes,” he replied, “she said when you were awake and sensiole to call her. If you are ready 1’ll call her now.” On Sam’s agreeing this surprising old man uncovered an instrument and proceeded to call with a telegraph key. “My wireless,” he commented. “This ought to get her if she is interested, I think she will be here in thirty min- ates.” Sure enough in less than that time Jenny danced into the room and clapped her hands at seeing Sam _ sit- up. “Oh goody” she cried, “we can see what this letter says” and handing the much crumpled envelope to Sam, she sat down on the edge of the only other chair and held her hands _be- tween her knees for all the world like an impatient boy waiting fo: his turn of ice cream. Without further ado Sam opened the letter and read: “Our Constitution guarantees to ev- ery one non interference in their pur- suit of happiness, but doesnt guaran- tee happiness. Sometimes it comes to us that real happiness is only found in the act of pursuing. It may have ta- ken you a short time to attain this far, it may have taken you years, you may have missed the happiness of striving, you may be tired and want- ting to-get away and rest. If this is so open envelope number 1 and you will find directions for your personal comfort and welfare for the balance of your days. “If you do not want to give up the things and people that have come in touch with you on this climb do not open envelope number | but give it to the bunch of spinach at the mouth of the tunnel and get words of wisdom from it.” BUT MAKE YOUR DECI- SION NOW WITHOUT ANY RESERVATION. Sam silently passed the letter to Jen ny and tried tolget his thoughts togeth- er. Plainly bis father was offering him a life of ease if he wanted it, and something entirely unknown if he rejected this gift. Somehow he just knew his father didnt want him to o- pen that envelope and just as strong- ly as he knew this he knew that if this had been offered him five years ago he would have jumped at it. Now to accept meant giving up his work and the people he had come to know and iove. To give up the mountains, to give up Jenny, and as he thought of her all doubt vanished and almost before Jenny had finished he asked her for the enclosed enve- lope. Misunderstanding his thought, her face clouded, and she asked him if he had decided to open it. “Not on your life”he cried catching her hand and pulling her to him. “That might mean giving you up, you the sweetest thing inthe world, and I wouldnt take even a chance of that for all the money in the world. Take that blooming envelope out and give it to the bunch of spinach at the tunnel mouth whatever that is and lets get a- way from here.” Sams arms were around Jenny be- fore he had finished this de-laration and he held her until he had her promise to be his buddy, partner, and wife for good or bad. Whey didnt| seem to be in any hurry about that,| but suddenly realized possibly this scene might not be so interesting to anybody but theniselves, “Now if thats settled, 1 will help you somewhat about the Spinach” said a dry voice behind them, and there stood their host in all the glory of his whiskers, “but of course dont let me hurry you. YOU have all your life before you to fuss over and with each other, but | want a shave. And here you woodenheads have kept me waiting five years.” “Whats this?” cried Sam in amaze- ment. “Just from your looks I thought a shave the last thing you wanted, but if you realy do want one don’t let us detain you.” “Well you see its this way, your father and I were friends for all cur lives. Often we would get togecher here in the mountains and really go back to old ways of living. My work at college never made me rich but gave me enough for my needs. Your father liked to get away from his wealth, so we really found enjoyment and_ relief in our vacations. This difference we always had. Mr. Smith kept himself shaved and spruced up as if he were living in a town, while | left all such behind. Naturally | was wild looking, and your father called me the bunch of Spinach. When he made his final preparations about disposing of his affairs we were going on a jaunt as usual, and he made me promise to stay here at this tunnel mouth until you came in case you rejected his first offer.” “Now you see | have performed my commission and can shave again and world, you have the ball, your old man has and still is making the interference its up to you to carry the ball down the field. And in the doing of it you . " ' will again find your father, not crazy, | not a bankrupt, but a straight thinking brave lovable man with many years o life before him, but a man that would | have been forever dead to you if you| had opened that other envelope.” THE END Hello! folks we are still living down here at the Infirmary. Most of our girls have gone home on their vacations We were sorry tosee them go. Hope they will soon come back. We will be sorry when Bleeker Lee and Lydia Donaldson go home, they are our best cooks. We will miss them while they are gone. Miss Brown has gone on_her vaca- tion. We sure do miss her hope she will soon return. Jack Morrow has had an opera-~ tion for apendicius but he is recovering and soon will be ready to go home on his vacation. We have had new children and are expecting more. ‘The children are so Lucile Long one of our new girls has been helping in the kit- chen and we like her fine, ana hope she can stay and help us along. nice to us. Hope we can think of more news believe me, from this time on I stay shaved! Suddenly the little man turn- ed on Sam and spook his finger at him. “Young man, do you know what you have let yourself in for? 1 wonder if you are big enough to swing it. It is magnificent, it has wonderful possibilities, and it is dangerous. But man, the reward if you have what your old man thinks you have, will be the greatest ever.” “Listen, you have seen this part cf the mountains and have fallen in love with it and the people. The poverty is a clean sort, their misfortunes, some how are not too ugly, as if God were dealing with His own and at times laying His hand on them in mercy. But there are other parts to these same mountains where nothing is pretty but the mountains themselves. The people that live there are raised in surround- ings that are most sordid and ugly. The liquor traffic has cast its blight on this section for years and I could tell you of conditions that exist there that would make your blood run cold.” “Many a man has seen th’s thing and wanted to change it; some havetried. So far all have failed, so many forces of evil combine to keep this inferno alive that no man has yet been able to make a successful fight againt it. Your father has spent many years studying this region, it was his birth- place, but he realized that a fight at his time of life would not be decisive before his death so for years he strug- gled to prepare as much as he could for some younger man to carry on “If you had opened that envelope you would have been the owner of a yearly income sufficient to insure your comfort as a useless hotel mouse the balance of your days. By not opening itfyou find yourself the owner of enough land in this section to give you a tremendous advantage in this fight, the control of a princely fortune to be used in this fight, and if I have judged you right a knowledge and love of the country you will fight for to make your womanto go right along with you and make this fight a joy.” *\)awhile. Sally and Hattie ran be- fight successful, and last allow me a} next time. SSBSIIIIGIITTTTTI TTT BABY COTTAGE We are having a good time going in swimming. Freda and Alice have gone on their | vacation. Johnnie and Martha Love have} | gone to stay.

Norris Ellis had to lea? to make room for Robert. We won the broom this time.

But this has been a little different. You see all during August,their matron was away, and in that time a big bunch of the older girls Fmoved out and bran new girls moved in, and it just natur- ally takes a little time to get new girls broken into good ways of housekeep- ing.

Another thing about September school always starts in that month, and with school starting so many other happen Our school will open this year with the lar- gest enrollment ever, and with more both pupils than ever before. things have to too. new faces among teachers and teachers, we know them and know just how they are going to act, whether they are go- ing to be strict, oreasy, whether we can fool them into thinking we know our lessons, or whether time spent in trying to fool them is wasted, but with the new ones we will be uncertain for a while. ‘They are going to seem very friendly and most anxious to be on good terms with all of us and until they get to know us all by name they may be very easily fooled, and the temptation to slip things over on them may be rather strong at times. But lets think about this a -that teacher is trying just as hard to size us up as we are trying to size her up, and if one of her first experiences with us is one of ever minor decep- tion, that student that practised the deception even though it be partly for fun will have given this teacher a first impression of d¢ishonesty, and Now with our old little, since first impressions are most lusting this student would have the disadvan- tage for the whole year probably of having the teacher distrust him or her. Another thing everthing is going to be strange to these new teachers the schedule of school hours, our meals, cur ways of doing everything. Some of them may say or do things before they know our ways that might sound or look funny. We are so apt to think of our teachers as knowing everything, that when they make a mistake, it just seems awfully funny and it is all we can doto keep from snickering. Now do you remember the day you came tothe Home? You no dovbt felt mighty litle and lonesome, and there were so many children, and you didn’t know how and wanted to act, you somebody you And time came and to see how to act. just knew to tell you maybe when dinner you were placed at a table with lots of other children you started to eat some thing with your knife. Now if the other children had all laughed at you you would have felt mighty bad and maybe cried, but the thing that very probably happened was that the per- son at the head of the table called your attention to your mistake and that was all there was to 1. Now none of the new teachers are going to eat with their knives but they may make some mistakes that may seem to us just as funny, and we may laugh at them, and they nay not seem to notice our laughing, but you know some of them may after getting to their room cry just like you might have done. Or instead of laughing at them we might quietly so as not to embarass them set them right about their mis- thereby make a lifelong take, and friend. The Chinese people are called the must polite and considerate people in the world and the story is told of a dinner given bya very distinguished Chinamen to a visiting Amefican ad- miral. There vere a number of Chin- ese at the table and everything was to make the American feel at home. The floor was rather slick, however and the chair too small for him, and in some way when trying to rise near the end of the meal the American slipped and slid clear under the table. Now in America everybody might have laughed, and the admiral would have had to take it with the best grace hecould, but at this dinner not a single person so much as chang- ed expression. And then very seious- ly the Chinamen at the head of the done to him did likewise until every Chin- aman there had purposely done what the American had done accidently. No doubt the Av-erican thought they were overdoing tthe business in trying to keep him from feeling embarassed over his mishap, butthe feeling back of doing this is the thing we should im- itate. Just lets think of the first, and instead school starting, and folk grieving over we do hate other of how t to start in studying, just see how quickly we can make all the newcom- o ers both of children and teachers feel at home and in love with the place as we are. | Now a word to the eighth grade.

Take the Golden Text of a Sunday School lesson and _ paste recent | it where you can see it every day ““What- soever a man soweth that shall he also | reap.” You can translate this to read “Tf you don’t study, you wont pass”. Now that passing business is a why nuls- ance, isn’t it? We wonder the teachers insist on it so, and cant see what satisfaction they get out offlunk- ing us. It isa pity every student could- nt spend a year or two teaching before they had to study any, they would re- | alize then that there is nothing a teach- er hates to do more thanto fail to give a student a passing mark. The know- passing mark is entirely for the students good, and the wonder ot it the student will work and scheme to out- wit a teacher to keep from learn something very necessary for the ing the lesson and making a is way a having to| students welfare. It appears almost like giving a lot of children bowls cream and telling them to eat it, that it will do them good, and then find that some are just making believe that they are eating, and when your back of ice is turned emptying the cream out’ and then holding up the empty bow! as if they eaten the cream.

We beleive this year is going to have the best opportunities ever, and that it is going to be the best year. of all. The teachers have something to do with making it that sort of year, the pupils also have a great deal to do with making it good or bad more your necessary thing into year.

Everet er Things September Ist put isany a bitter pill in some of our mouths with the open- jing of school, and since this time there | are a few left that get up with a puck- | ered notion that all is not going to be {so well for the day, But just the same we adjust some of these cranky ideas. You know thiS idea of starting to school is almost like getting a ford | cranked ona bleak cold morning— don’t want to go at all, What we started of to say has something to do with where we use }to go to school. And now we get a good impression of the “why” of a number of fights that usually wound up inthe private sanctum where a couple of buggy whips inforced so ‘much of this dignitary’s discipline. | Mind you, I didn’t have a formal ac- quaintance with said whips, but knew some that did—1 had a reprimand On the occasion of schoo) getting under way, there were those _pestitfer- jout ginks who just loved old school | (and if you was a new heginner— glory be) insofar as to pick on said beginner and always pulling pranks that caused our already weak desire to go through nine-months-of-it to wane. The new beginner was known by every body as “fresh hsh.” In the school maybe someone'd plunk you with a paper, or shoot you with a bent pin by means of a rubber. Nat-/ urally this prompted an emotion that transferred “fresh fish” from his seat toa standing posture, or through the bewilderment and shock, probably out in the hoor. However at the conc u- sion of this the climax usually was reached when the teacher, really think- ing you were fresh, made a dive for your seat, and with a stage-fright ex- pression on her face, proceeded to make a drum out of that mug of “freshies” via use of both hands. As all this recurrs to our various ways of thinking now we do not conceive of how any book knowledge was ga'ned. (There wasn’t much.) Speaking of being humiliated, why there wasn’t nothing to do but grin and bear it or grit your teeth. And those circumstances connected with a case of this kind infrequently ended up after school when we were sup- posed to be going home (like ‘el ship that went to Europe to end that | awful war). To the contrary, rocks actually began flying and they'd fin- ally land on someone's head. On this particular instance | remember a doz- en were involved; just looked like the world had gone looney; I never have seen so much biting since. And old clothes shared so hard. And I always got a licking at home for the care of these. But professor would get reports of any misconduct of school ground and have conference later with the “encontent” and in every instance of this kind the subordinate rule of low’s lash was applied to the quick. ‘They say those were pood old days. Then I thought if I could remove myself handily I'd make something out of myself. Now | can appreciate my error. They were good days. And they are gone—never to return.

We hare to disappoint people, but we have found that calling a child from study a few times in a term quiet often results in thoroughly demora!iz- ing that child. Footbail Last year we had a football teain that was going mighty good, toward the end of the season especially. Defeat- Abbey College and Thomasville within three days madea’ rather glorious end to a successful season. Every year we lose quite a number of good players and this would make us gloomy If the ones that are still here didnt get just that much better and good ones grow up to take the place of the ones that go out. Of last years squad we lose eight, five regulars andy thiee mighty good substitutes but in spite of that our porospects look good. The football suits arrived early and were given out August the eighth. Since then every day has seen a prac- tice and little scrimmage. This year more boysthan ever are playing and are going into it witha determination that will mean a winning team. Our first game scheduled for the season was with Charlotte High for September 19th but owing to the fact that Charlotte is late starting school and has a new coach they haye asked us to postpone this game until October 2nd. So on this date we will try con- clusions with this bunch.

We like to think back to that first issue, and the number of difficulties we encountered in getting out that Our benefactor Mr. James Sloan had removed a_ lot of our diff- culties by telling us to go right ahead and get anything needed inthe way of material, but without a boy who knew the difference between a galley and a slug, with the editor and his whole staff chuck full of enthusiasm and ignorance it really is a marvel that the first paper ever did get printed. first issue Well the second issue was easier and better we hope and as our exper- ience helped us the job became more of a delight. We beganto see the results too, People were reading our paper, and no matter where we went, we would find a copy of the Messenger and it made us feel that we were bring- ing our family closer together, our family here andthe family over the entire church. We have never been quite satistied to stop working for improvement of this paper. We believe it is still im- proving, and we are all trying to keep up th’s improvement. We don’t know how well you like the subject matter, some of it may not be popular, but then you write part of it vourself you know that table of receipts in particu- lar, but we know you must like the a.tractive manner in which it is gotten up. We are just leading up to what we wanted to say at the outset,thatto Mr. i-dwards in particular, and his corps of printing office boys do we give the credit for the greater part of the suc- cess of our little paper. They have re- sponded to every call upon them not only for the paper but for every kind of shop work that they are called on for. If you are ever in the print- ing office ask to see their scrap book, samples of the work they have done. We take off our hats to them, and wish for the office that we will always have as good a crew of boys, and that Mr. Edwards may live to be a hun- dred years old and spend all of his days right in that office.

We believe that when any- __| body knows about the work here w!th any degree of thoroughness that — | that person becomes a liberal supporter, of the work. Consequently, — | our whole plan for enlisting the aid of our churches is just to keep them = informed of the work. This year, instead of trying to carry a word picture to the churches, the representatives of the churches a! the meeting of Synod can see for themselves the progress of the work, and we know that this will result in renewed interest in this marvelous iamily that belongs to the Synod. We want you to feel absolutely «: ome while here, we are not going to dress up for you, but are welcom:ng you into our everyday way of living just as members of our family (as you are)..We will feed you with the product of our farm, garde1is, orchards and dairy, with mo- lasses to fall back on if we fail to measure appetites correctly.

You see we want to get this paper in every Presbyterian home in the Synod, and we are not charging one cent sub- ; scription either. Its good reading too so they sav. Last year so many of our friends made the mistake of sending us the ={church rolls or a list of the heads of =j|familes, regardless of whether they were already getting the paper or not. This helped us very little, except in communities where we were not sending it before. Ir is almost im- possible to REVISE a list by the church rejl, unless that church 1s so isolated that its territory does not touch or overlap some other church. It is of no use in a city that has more than one charch. What we want is names to be add- ed that are not getting the paper.

Che girl in ithe dress doesn’t feel just right with che rest of the croud, she sits just as far away as possible, a question arises about who those p.ople are. almost before she knows it, that girl is playing Peter, she is denying belonging to the Orphanage. Now in order to carry this out, we can't make exceptions, all children will be treated alike, any gift of clothing or such like will be paid for just as if they came from the sewing room. This does not in the least change any- thing about the clothing in anyway. Suppose you send money to clothe a child. This enables the institution to get the clothes for the child, but only through the Barium Exchange plan can the child get the clothes. This is just a system within the institution, using a special coin to make conditions here somewhat like those that will meet our children some day, when without this training they will be handicapped. There are other difficulties to be worked out, one is this. In order to give point to this whole system, there must be a way to give value to the savings of this special coin, so we have arranged at stated intervals to re- deem the savings inthe Barium Ex- change Bank With real money, in the Barium Springs Saving Department. Now here comes the misunderstand- ings. This plan makes the special coin almost like real money, and so many people get the wrong idea, that when they send money to pay for a particular childs support, and’ then the child pays too, although in this coin that that childs support has been paid for twice. Of course a little thinking will straighten this out, it is no more paying twice than buying a railroad ticket, and then giving this ticket to -he conductor for just one ride, is pay- ing twice for your fare. One other difficulty is the fact that in no case not even among the very largest children does the real value of their labor represent the cost of their living, so we must either put a fictitious value on their work or else a fictitious value on the things they are charged with. This has to be handled very carefully, for in this very thing we might implant wrong ideas of values in the childs mind. After going very carefully over the whole thing in order not to place too nigh a value on labor, and still keep near the actual cost of most of the items we made the biggest discrepancy in the amount charged for board. Just $2.00 a week, which every one knows is very much less than actual cost, but since this item is last Sn really being learned in the normal family, we thought it best to have the largest error here. A question which we expected to crop up but which has not as yet, is this. Wethought that the girls that work in the kitchen weuld not see the necessity of paying board, or the girls in the laundry feel like they ought to pay a laundry bill that they worked for themselves. But to our pleased surprise this demand for “deadhead privilege for employ.es” that so gums up the industrial world hasn’t shown up here yet. This is planned to remedy, what to our mind is the biggest failure of the orphanage work as at®present constitu- ated. The danger is that since the Orphanages are dependent on the liberality of a group of — people, that the idea might lodge in the minds of 1 cir way to the children being rais in cumstances, that the proper make a work rather than to find work, rather l ving is to find somebody to than to concentrate their energies in climbing the hill of life, to stand by the wayside waiting for a lift. ‘Yo sum up, this system as seated in the beginning, has been the subject of much thought and study for the greai- er pan of a year, it has been prepared in the light of other institutions exper- iments along the same lines. We have endeavored to avoid their mis- takes. We realize that it is a tremen- dous undertaking, that it entails a tremendous amount ef extra work. And we also realize that it will be several years before we can even hope for an approach to perfection in its working. and even then it will not be a panacea of all the ills that times visit our place. some- But we believe that it has immense possibilities, that a courageous sincere approach to this proposition, with the co-operation of the chirdren, and workers here (which we have) and of relatives and suppor- ters of the institution which we confi- dently hope for, will result in the big- gest improvement in the preparation for life that has been attempted in any orphanage in recent years. We need your spmpathetic cooper- ation in this as in all our undertakings at this wonderful place. eessssssssssisssiistsstererrrrc terre erecer ese: ANNIE LOUISE COTTAGE esseseesssTsss sissies eer eres Hello folks! how is school serving you all?

Not Always to Blame Getting wrong numbers over the telephone is not always the fault of the operator. Faulty enunciation is more often to blame. This incident illustrates one of the difficulties an oper ator has to overcome in answering calls: An Englishnian speaks over the tele- phone: “Yes, this is Mr. ’Arrison. What you can’t ’ear?

Greetings from | the hostess auxiliary were spoken by iMrs. W.C.

Ramsey brought the conference an inspirationz| message from tne book of Nehemiah. She ; showea the value of prayer, not only in the individual life, but as a factor in overcoming obstacks in the carrying on the work of the church, illustrating with incidents from the life of Nehe- miah the builder. Mrs. C. L. Crane,of Hickory’ who has been a missionary in Mutoto, Af- rica, fora number of years told the conference of missionary work among African women. This she described as abattle against ignorance squalor and superstition which often seems hopeless, but whose results are slowly becoming apparent. The speaker stres- sed the lack of denominational feeling among missionaries in work. ‘Uheir ob- ject is to bring Christianity to the peo- ‘ple and denominational lines are not jemphasized. Mrs. Crane gave an in- | teresting description of industrial scho- ‘ols established by the missionaries in which the natives aresaught sewing, farming, building, furniture making jand other useful occupations She clo- |sed with an appeal forthe foreign ser- | vice, emphasizing the fact that this work needs not only prayers and money \from thechurch but workers as well— | this last is often the greatest need. | Asolo by Miss Louise Brady, of Statesville, and a patrotic song by the kindergarden ot the Barium Orphans’ jhome underthe direction of Mrs. Leila Simpson, concluded the morning program. Dinner was served in the domestic cience building at the Home. The _afternoon session will be featured by a conference on efficiency in auxiliary work, conducted by Mrs. E. F.

Not so, for this is a girl, And happens to be the youngest memper of the big family here two years old. ‘The work of the kindergarten tea- cher Mrs. Simpson, and her class at the Baby cottage is really worth the time to see. There are 26 members of the class, and for a period of an hour and a half Mrs. Simpson, un- tiring in her efforts, is training this big bunch of little babies in) such a way that thry get varied know ledge of things without having to “stay in” after school simple things that a Fourth or Fifth grader would stump his toe on. We frequently hear favorable com- ment going the rounds of the campus particularly of the music class. And if we hear aright there se ms to be more than a kitcen on the keys, according to the music inthe air quring a quiet afternoon. We feel that the manage- ment of the home is sponsoring some- thing worth while when everybody can avail themselves of musical know- ledge. “Music hath charms to soothe” the audience down at the picture show when HaroldLoyd spills the beans; for that chorus singing enhances that old picture show. The September birthday dinner was featured with the largest crowd yet at the big dining reom on the 16th., 48 students participathing. As usual, an elaborate menu was arraneed for the occasion, and those fortunate to sit at this big table didn’t have much time be- tween dinner bell and the work bell. About every other day Mr. Johnston sneaks away fromthe campus and spends a day at some distant point, talk- ing to a session of Presbytery abou. Or, phange work. At least he says he talks this subject; but if he — gets a slim row of figures in the support of this place at the end of the month, why he just gets hard-boiled. In the make-up of the dav’s work for him, Mr, Johnston's hard-boiled way of getting dollars and cents coming to Barium isalmost like an interference line-up of football— every fellow on his toes and holding his part of the line. And when one of the inches of Mr. Joinston’s 78 fail in the attempt of this matter then he will want to fin- ish and close up his work of daddying 360 children. Clothing Money W’s.

Every star play in the great game is the clear proof and the logical culmination of long preparatory hours of dust and sweat and heart-breaking toil.

Hence our efforts have been along lines of improvements in our various departments and ironing out the rough spots rather than reorganizing for larger number of children as in the three former years. ‘ On October the first 1924 there were on rol} 362 children, during the year there have been received 79 new children, there were graduated 9, there were returned to relatives or placed in satisfactory employments 71, and re- moved by death two. “lhe two last mentioned were Ida Belle Bowman for nine years an invalid and cared for during this time at the Fairvew Cottage Sanitorium Asheville, and Charlie Moore a fine young boy who died suddenly from tetanus infection. ‘There are at presert 358 children ow the roll with four additional child- ren to enter this month. At times during the year applications haye come to us at an alarming rate, sixty-five coming in during September. However, taking the year as a whole, nearly ail of the real urgent cases have been handled though not al- ways as rapidly as applications have desired. In accepting children we havetaken into consideration first the needless of the particular case, second our churches responsibility toward that case and third the particular section from which the application originates. Uhis third consideration is to keep one section or Presbytery from getting so many more children than their proportionate share in the Home that this would prevent other sections from getting in their share of children. “his is not as impor- tant as the first two but does deserve attention, and we are glad to report that a much more even distribution of the benefits of the orphanage is in operation now than in any recent year, Since the Home started the year withfuli capacity this has been the highest average population this year than any other in history of the Institu- tion, and this has meant of course additional teachers and matrons. We have feared a greatly increased expense but since analyzing the auditor’s report we tind a relatiuely small amount to be chargod to this case. ‘The student matrons course is functioning satisfactory, and has passed the experimental stage and is a recognized force for good inthis work. ‘The only neW enterprize eff-cting the entire instutition inaugurated during che year is the startir.g of the “Barium Exchange” system of pay and expense A full description of this is in the current issue of the Barium Messenger. Suffice to say here, that this system was set up after moths of careful planning, in which the matrons, department heads, and older boys and girls gave counsel. It is designed to more fully train for actual conditions ef life that will meet our young people leaving this institution. This has been in active operation for six weeks, and while it still has many imperfections, the good results are already manifest toa most encour- aging degree. oe Departments St. Andrews ch.

A new department has beer organ- ized during the yearcalled the campus group or clean-up gang. Their duties are principally to look after the grounds and to spend their time in one clean and beautifying our campus. It is not hard to see the improvement | in the general appearance of the place | already. Vhe man in chargeis Mr. | T. C. Cavin who also does the carpen- | ter repairing. We have mentioned the boy de- partments first because in speaking of the girls we can go even further in com- mendation. It seems that when a boy finishes his days work, he hasn’t much energy left for work around the house. The girls, although they many have worked as hard, always have enough energy left to tidy up the place they live. Hence the girl cottages have kept the goodhousekceping ban- ner except fortwo months when Lees) and Synods captured it. | We wish to especially commend} the sewing room, under Miss Mona} Clark for the very efficient manner in| which this department takes care of its ever increasing duties; the kitchen, under Miss Beatty Lackey keeps e- very body well fed with a minimun of waste and the Dining Room, under) Miss Eunice Hall and-her alert set of girls serve these good meals in a most satisfacrory manner. The Laundry under Mrs. A. Y. Ketchie is showing improvement, and we believe that under the stimulus of the benefits to be derived from the “Exchange System” will scon be one of our most efficiently handled depart- ments. The general conduct 0” the entire body of children is to be commended. We depend more and more on the help of the older ones in all that we do or plan. We can not go into detail as to the school work. The commercial depart- ment has been enlarged until we now prepare students and graduate them from this department. It is unneces- sary for the graduates to take a course ; ina vusiness school for preparation | for work. The domestic science and kinder- garden departments started last year are doing good work and are being developed still further this year. The domestic science department is used in the instruction of the student mat- ron. The school is somewhat ,handicap- ped from lack of room. We hope this condition will soon be remedied. The school as a whole has gotten off to a good start this year and we look for a very successful year. Vhere has been improvement in the thor- oughness of the preparation as evi- denced by the better grades made by our graduates on their college work. Church. Little Joes Church under the pas- torate of Rev. W. C. Brown has shown a commendable growth both in membership ind interest. There have been received into membership during the twelve monchs (103) children be- | sides numbers from families living near. Just before the taking in of so many new children into the Home there was | not a child of twelve yeurs and over | who was not a member of the church. campus near the Lottie Walker build-! ing. Steps already have been taken to} to provide this school have resulted in! the offer af an individual to give half’ the amount needed for this building and $15,000.00 additional for endow- ment if both these amounts be supple- mented by like amovnts. We most earnestly recommend that | immediate steps be taken to provide more church room either by enlarging present building, or by new building. Our extremely crowded condition has been noted and an overture is coming up from Concord Prespytery asking Synod to remedy this condition. We recommend that acase worker be employed for three specific duties. First, the careful investigation of all applications; second, to keep in touch with the families of the children in the Home; third to keep in friendly contact with all graduates or who otherwise leave the orphanege. We recommend that this depart ment be financed by the Duke Found- ation. For your imformation, there seems to be an almost unanimous desire of the various institutions of — this character in the_- state to ask the Duke Foundation to finance the physical culture side of the work, to have a director of athletics, etc. This matter has been worked here in a different manner. Our policy has been that nothing in the nature of games or athletics should be financed out of the general fund, nor from any benevolent source.

However we hope he will continue to come to see us. Mrs Neisler of Kings Mc.,also on the Board of Regents, noticing the absence of sofa pillows in our sitting room, brought us quite a nice lot of them Since we have placed them, we hope she will come again and- see just how much they add to the appearance of the room. We _ thank her for this timely gift. How very much we all enjcyed Svnod. It was a treat to usto have them for one meal. Since they; are to meet in Statesville next year, we shal! look forward to another visit from them. Our babies Irene and Sarah Fort made a trip to Greensboro with Mrs. Simpsdén and the rest of the kinder- garden class singing before the Pres- byterial at that time. Each girl was given a doll and tea set, while the boys were happy with tops and whistles, and fruit for all. They had a good time. , Then the fair. The good friends of Mooresville came upin their cars caking allfrom Eighth Grade down, and such a good morning all ‘had. We thank these guod people for this; alse the manager of the Ferris Wheel, W hip, Merry-go-round, and the shows, all which were given us free. As we left the grounds’ each child was given Cracker-Jack, Esquimo pie and Hal- lowe’en Cards, Wewouldn’t forget the delightful pleasureat the picture show. where Rev.

Mrs. Baxter Moores circle from the | church at Winston-Salem visited our cottage and left-eandy: for every bos and girl_at.Bacium Springs. It was deli- cious and we have never heard of such generosity and thoughfulness. “Uhey made us think surely that Nmas had come in October! They also gave us seven. dollars, at our coitage and we immediately started a-“Synods Victrola Fund” since it is a vicirola that we want.

He is eight weeks old, and his name is “Tag-a-long.”” Vhe boys are delighted with their new pet and are almost coun- ting the days until they can have two Canaries, as well. Mrs. Bailey was called home on Oct 23rd on account of the illness of her’ daughter, Miss Mary White Bailey. She was only vone a few days but we missed her greatly. Rey. and Mrs. E. J.

The State Christian Endeavor Con- vention was held in Statesville this month, and while so near they came to Barium Springs for a Saturday night supper.

Old news had left us for a time, so we'll do our best to give you last vou the latest news in true style. ‘To begin with, the Intermediate C. E. gave a spook party on Halloween night. Had you been there, surely, their fears would have increased. For lo! all the witches in all their forms were there, from false faces and beards to white wrapped figures from that veiled —misty sphere known as ehost- land. they didn’t fiy up achimney ort vo. The reason that wonder wasn’t performed must have been that there were no chimneys, not even a stove pipe! ‘The fortunes were rather to their meaning, but gave excellent advice. How to use onions to learn their best uses, what to do if you married the wrong person and where to find your fortune. The apples didn’t last long enough to cause everybody to get a baptising, but some came away from the tub with an ap- ple and a wet head. When we were through playing games we were given candy and went to our cottages. In the school auditorium the 10th. grade gave a Shakespearian play by the name of “Macbeth.” "T'was really a splendid play and well acted. ‘Then, this story shown on he screen. We appreciate the goodness of the 10th. grade in entertaining us. No patriotic citizen can have for: ot- ten the memorial Armistice Day and the reason why is unforgettable in the history o° nations. A play was given in the auditorium on that day to keep alive in our minds the loss of our sold- iers who lie in “Flanders Field” and to celebrate the peace armistice of the World War. Let us everthank God that that dreadful war is ended. Mrs. Brown (on second floor) took us to walk three or four times last week and we enjoyed every trip. You should visit the woods and see for yourself why we liked it so much. There are green cedar trees, pine trees, beautiful colored leaves and red berries. Every thing is beautiful. The grass and vegetation has gone to sleep for the winter, but the pines and cedars are never so green asnow. OQOvut of the woods the leayes are falling, but in them only some trees have shed leaves. Perhaps some who read his live in Statesville and others have been there lately. If so, you may have heard that great musician who has been perform- ing for the people there. Some of our girls heard him and when they came back assured usthat his music was great and that when he played the pipe organ he played so quickly it seemed as if he had a million hands. We cant remember his name just now for his music drove all other sounds away. After hearing him we think that some of the girls have musicians. My! My! just think of the birthday dinner this month. There’li be turkey onthe table. Can’t you hear the children smacking their lips? But we who are not entitled to turkey this time will have some consolation. An old turkey is very tough! “Twas a wonder misty as ‘tis true some was their decided to become A son of Erwin had the misfortune to get mixed up in an accident and was immediately conveyed to a_ hos- pital, where it was found that his only injury was a slight wound. The house surgeon carefully examined him, after which he thus stated the case to the nurse: “As subcutaneous abrasion is not observable, I think here is little reason to apprehend tegumental cicatrization of the wound. Whatdo you think yourself?” he asked Pat. “Sure doctor,” replied Pat, “you are a wonderful thought reader. You took the words out of my mouth.” BORORORORORORORORCHO CACORE ORO ORE ROBIE OS, | j | _ LAUNDRY AND ROAR OOOO OOOO OOD ‘The Laundry girls have been so busy that they have not had time to write to the Messenger, but there is plenty to tell. Just to give you an idea of what we do we will say this much: we do from 4500 to 5000 pieces each week. And they say it’s welldone. Havent you noticed an improvement in the general appearance of our clothes late- ly? extravagant boys on the place with their clothing. We are having quite a lot of com- pany these days, and it pleases us very much. We are proud of our equipment and we enjoy meeting new folks and making new friends. We are conceit- ed enough to think that if we see you once you are our friends, and of course we are yours, any way. There’s just one thing we need badly Window Shades, for the “sunny side” of our Laundry. It just happens that each ironing board is by one of these windows, and it would be too bad for the girls to have “freckeled” faces. The windows areabout 50 inches wide. Esther Archer hurt two fingers the other day by being caught in the tum- bler. Margaret and Gertie got so excited the other day when Louise Gufford tried to use a big word that they drop- ped Jennie Gilmer boys shirts ina bucket of starch, no wonder the boys appear stuck up. Here’s the joke: Louise: “I am going to be a Mil- itary when | finish here.” Other girls: “Military,” what's that?” Louise: “Why, goosie, a hat maker.” We are interested in Thanksgiving and Christmas. Just think: only six weeks till time to hang your stockings! May all the readers enjoy their turkey and cranberry sauce. Elmer Roderick was telling Liddell Ketchie about the jokes they had told in school that day. He asked what Hazel Hodge told and Elma said, “Oh, she sounded just like Shakes- peare, didn’t she Odessa?” “I don’t know, I have never heard him,” re- Lees cottage boys are the most plied Odessa. and Wheezes ‘The Georgia cracker sat on the steps of his shack, smoking a corncob pipe.
