One of the most pleasant oc- casions recently was an invitation extended to the Juniors and Seniors to the Lion’s Supper in Statesville. We had a most enjoyable night and certainly did enjoy the cordial hospitality of this fine bunch of men. a have had invita- tions to Hickory and Mforesville that just had to be passed up on account of lack of time to accept a. We have tried to avail ourselves of every oppor- tunity to attend the wonderful Stephens meetings in Statesville. There just seems to be so many things to do and see and hear that we wish we were all triplets so that we could enjoy them all. Another thing, we r ceive in the mail now at this time about one hundred letters a day. Some of these letters are business letters, but most contain some contribution. It may be a small individual gift or a large contribution from a Church. Sometimes the sender fails to put his or her address on the gift At other times, in ovr haste to get our day’s receipts checked up into the bank, we sometimes make a mistake in taking down the address contained on the contribution. There result in a failure on our part to properly acknow- ledge the receipt of the gift, and this causes us embarrassment, because we try to acknowledge by a personal letter of thanks, every gift that comes into the Orphanage. Getting out this amount of mail each day is no light job in itself, and prevents us from writing as long a letter to each person sending us gifts as we would like; but we do not want to overlook a single item. If you do not receiv: an acknowledgement of your gift and do not see it listed in the MESSENGER, be sure and write to us. It is possible that wi did not receive it. It is possible that we received it and for the reasons men tioned above, failed to keep the address; and your writing to us will enabk us to remedy that error. As we write this letter, only a small percentage of the Thanksgiving contributions have ben sent in. We can not tell until nearer the end of the month, whether the returns will be better or worse than preceeding years. We sincerely nope and pray that they will be better, as the Orphan- age most desperately needs money at this time. lee Dem ‘flus’ is ’round here Th Pi agin. Nevertheless, we are al- e€ Fil right, individually,—and_ will x ~|not tell you how this works.

You can’t have it without the spirit. No Sympathy For Him. _.. . The Chicago man who had the habit xf traveling around and sending back to friends picture postcards bearing the words: “Having a fine time wish you were here love,” got what was coming to him when the court award- ed damages against him in a breach of promise sute in the sum of $2,590. He had a girl friend. Everywhere he went he would buy a postcard and send it to her. She saved them. One day she decided he ought to marry her. He didn’t think so. Then she preesented those postcards, and the -ourt gave her $2,500. Whatever sym- pathy we might have been inclined to give him in the breach of promise suit is offset by the fact that he is yne of those picture postcard fiends. We don’t care what happened to him he deserved it. In fact, it would have The “pie counter” has lost its taste for some time as there ap- pears in this issue of the MES- SENGER a green-ink sport extra that carries the dope!

It was not defeated one time, not only during the present seeason, | but during the season of 1927. Post Season Game It seems that this talk of this undefeated team perculated over into South Carolina, and started an argument. Anyhow, our Bar- ium Springs Mosquitoes prompt- ly received a challenge from a team in Rock Hill, South Caro- lina. We don’t know their name exactly, but for lack of a better name, we are calling them “The Rock Hill Bol! Weevils.” They promptly challenged our Mos- quitoes, and the result is a game for the Championship of the East to be played in Rock Hill the ar- ternoon of December the four- teenth. The result of that game will be published somewhere in this same paper. Look fer it! It’s the final game of the seasen and will possibly take the place hereafter of the Army-Navy game which left the present foot- ball season kinder flat! 100-Pound Weight Limit These two teams are held to a 100- pound weight iimit. Our Mosquitoes had to materially revise their line-up to make it. We started out the sea- son by weighing up all the players that weighed jess than one hundred j pounds and assigning them to the Mosquito Team. of them were such good eaters, in addition to Some yeing good players, that by the end of the season they had eaten them- ielves entirely off the team—one boy retualiy weighing one hundred and ighteen pounds. This game with Rock Hill being a strictly 100-pound affair meant the oss of quite a number of the fa:mil- ar faces on the Mosquito lincup. Ned McKay; Frank Purdy; — i Bobbitt; being among the wmbhee@? move up to higher circ les We don't know how the outcome of his game is going to be. If we win, we will publish the picture of these Mosquitoes one more time; if we lose, we will fill up the space with alibis; | ut win or lose, we will continue to | ye mighty proud of our Mosquito Team. They played the game like vet- rans, have been most faithful to train ng rules and have at all times, played 1 good game. P. O.

The disease is transmitted from me icks. It is nearly always fatal, and s being reported from almost every tate in the union. Man inocculates 1imself with the disease while dress- ng the animal for eating. Cooks, \unters, housewives and produce men ire often infected during months when he hunting of wild rabbits for food s permitted. Those who skin and lress rabbits for the market are most upt to contract the disease. To pre- rent an attack of which frequently resuXs in death, seep your bare hands out of the rab- sit.

The meat, thoroughly cooked, s harmless, for the high temperature lecessary to cook them destroys the zerms.—Mooresville Enterprise. i . O. H.

H. -—— NOW IT’S THE COW Close observers have grown so used to modern miracles they have about }come to the conclusion that nothing is impossible. That’s why it isn’t go- ing to surprise them to read—and the daily papers are now making much of it—that a substitute for milk has at ‘last been found, and that the good old family milk cow may soon be only a memory. | Synthetic milk is now so much of a | fact that it is eliciting the attention of dairy farmers throughout the U. S. It is being produced it is said, in in- creasing volume from an “emuisifier,” | and experts say that it cannot be det- 1ected from the cow’s milk of purest | quality. How it is produced is a long | and technical story. But we are not interested as much, anyhow, in how it | is produced as in the fact that it pro- | mises to strike a severe blow at one of the oldest and greatest industries in the world—dairying. This is the machine age and the | age of chemistry. We have scen the horse shoved aside by the auto and the hog lose ground throug’ the dis- | covery of lard substitutes. Now if the cow is to jose her crown, then the limit will appear to have been reach- ed. This is probabiy a blessed and a | marvelous age, but it doesn’t afford muca consulation to those of us who have always considered the cow and |the horse indispensible. We can’t give them up without a feeling of | sadness, even though their substi- | tutes may prove to be a whole lot better.—Mooresville Enterprise.

Roct Hill turned loose an offensive that looked dangerous. Three successive first downs, and the ball was in Bar ium’s territory, but the sight of th goal post not so far away, put some- thing into the M uitoes and they commenced throwing Rock Hill for < l A blocked punt at tl time gave the ball to Barium and started the drive down the field which hadn't gone far when Pittman tore off his spectacular run which resulted in the second touchdown. The trial for point this time was a dropkick which was ist a few inches wide. The game ended with the ball in Barium’s pos- session within the ten-yard line. One more minute would, no doubt, have re ulted in a third touchdown, because Barium’s offensive seemed to be work ing fine in the last few minutes oi} the game. Rock Hill at all times put ur» a stubborn fight and but for the superior teamwork of the Mosaui tons .wevalys “errter Tne game the team was taken by twos to the homes in the community and filled up wit! more good things than they have beer able to tell about. Fried chicken seems to have been the main article of diet, and the boys were still chew- ing when we left at six-thirty to get to Charlotte to see our girls play Charlotte High School a game of bas- ketball. We are more or less familiar with the Mosquitoes record for the year They have beaten Statesville three times. The scores being 51-0; 6-0 and 12-6. Thev have beaten Moores ville The scores being 45-0 They beat Belmont Abbey Lightweights twice. The scores be ing 26-6 and 20-0. They beat the Winston Methodist Orphanage team 2-7; and tied them once, 0-0; and in only one instance—that with Moores ville—were the teams of even weight The opposing teams having at least ten pounds advantage. The record of the Rock Hill team is almost equally good. They have defeated Spartanburg. Fort Mill Asheville, and were defeated by Greenville. We underatand, howev er, that the Greenville team had sev- eral players overweight, so that their game could hardly be counted as a strictly 100-pound contest. A good many of the Mosquitoes played their last Mosquito game in this contest, as the sausage they willi eat this winter will raise them fa: above the 100-pound limit before foot- ball season starts next year. In fact they lost five players for this game, and almost lost Edward Todd, who weighed a hundred and five pounds a week before the game, but managed to cut his rations short enough to make the weight limit of a hundred pounds on the day of the game. When we were weighing up just before the game, one of the Rock Hill boys weigh ed 101 pounds; they told him to gx take a bath. He came back and weigh- ed 100 pounds. There is certainly heavy soil around Rock Hill. At the rate the present members of the Mosquito team are growing Robert Blue, Edward Todd, Joe John- ston will certainly be too heavy for next year, but there are a lot of hope- fuls at Synods Cottage that are learning the game well enough to take their places. Remember Ben Morrow, Joe Savage, and a few others of the present Synods team, when next sea- fon starts. | This is the first game in which the Mosquito team has ever invaded an- pther state.

This year, 1owever, anyone going to the Char- lotte High School Court would pai ate- hought that they were seeing n-the-season basketball. When the Barium girls tried conclusions with k the girls of the Central High, it was me fast well played game, with Bar- um leading through all four periods intil the last minute of play when a foul shot and a goal brought the score to 18-18. At the end of the half Bar- um was leading 10-5. We do not know how long Charlotte has been out for practice, but the Bar- ium girls have ha two weeks prac- tice, and their game was fine. We ire sorry they didn’t hold their lead, ut are mighty glad they didn’t allow ‘harlotte to lead them at any time juring the game. This is the first ime we have played Charlotte since 927 when we were beaten by a small | score in the City Auditorium. At hat time Charlotte had a phenome- ion in the person of Miss Dixon, and t was like playing a team ot about en girls with Miss Dixon being five f them. This year, every one of ( har- itte’s players were good and Barium ad to exert herself to the utmost. yne more week of basketball and then ve will all shut up shop for the holi- ays and start in January the first n earnest. Our girls are good and ve delight to see them play, knowing hey are going to bring home the vie- ory at least nine times out of ten. We want also to take off our hats o our boys who are starting basket - all here at Barium, and are trying ust as hard as the girls but will have o take many defeats before they see i victory, no doubt. Just like the boys vho started football here in 1922. lany of them played for three full years without ever coming off the “eld of victory. And yet, without hem, our present victorious would not have been possible. r.

The gir!s of Barium Springs Orphanage started ff to another good season last night oy defeating the girls of Thompson Orphanage, Charlotte, 22 to 8. They played a fine, steady game all the way chrough. The game started off with both seams holding their own. But at the expiration of the first period Barium aad already got into the lead. They aeld this lead during the rest of the same and were not threatened. They showed a fine passing attack that 4zave them many chances for shots. A iack of close guarding on the part of sarium guards at the vpening of the same gave Thompson Orphanage a hance to get a good start, otherwise -he score would have been less. Bolden was high point scorer with 10 points. Boys Lose The boys of Thompson Orphanage ame out on the floor determined to set revenge for the defeat suffered by -heir girls. They piled up a score ot 29 points while Barium could only garner 5 points. The Barium team showed lack of experience. The shompson boys began ringing ’em in at the first of the game and kept it up until the final whistle blew. Bar- um was unable to locate the basket when they got the ball down undei cheir goal. They began taking long velop into a good machine as soon as more experience is gained. Hopson of Thompscfi was the high point scorer of the game | with 18 points.

The Barium girls won over the fast-moving Harmony girls by the score of 20 to 8, while the Harmony boys came back strong in the second game of the evening to win by the overwhelming score of 44 te 0. This was the first game of the season play- don the Barium Court. The Barium Springs-Harmony girls game was an interesting affair. It was the first game of the evening. For the first three minutes of the contest, nei- ther team was able to score. After a few more minutes play Freeman broke the ice by scoring a foul goal for the Barium Sextet. Angell, stel- lar center for Harmony, scored first for her team. The score at half time was 8 to 4 in favor of Barium. The game during the first half was more a defensive one. The second half found the Barium girls scoring 12 points to their opponents 4. This second of the was Barium’s victory 5 “he season. They play the strong Char- lotte team in Charlotte this coming Friday night. The boys’ game was all Harmony. The Harmony lads winning by a score of 44 to 0.

OH. on What Football Has Taught Me About Life By Wm. L. Siidger In The Epworth Herald ~~ a————-—s RANCHY Rickey, since ‘$e! become famous as a 7; baseball manager and i player in St. Louis, us- ed to be the coach of our football team. I thought it was beneath my dignity as a back who could run a hundred yards in ten seconds and shoct a forward pass with speed and accuracy to be- mean myself by “falling on the ball.” I couldn’t see the sense of a veteran having to do what all of the scrubs did when they first began their train- ing. But one day Coach Rickey patiently and kindly took me aside and talked to me like the proverbial Dutch uncle. He told me that no man could be a real football player until he had learn- ed to fall on the ball, to do it uncon- sciously, to do it with limbered limbs. He said that who fell trying to save himself always got hurt, but that the man who threw his body self-forget- fulness on the ball, whenever and whereever it fell, was the one who came out unscratched. He told me that in complete and forgetful abandonment to the thing in hand was safety. “Think cf saving yourself and you will get hurt. Forget yourself and you will do your duty, SevMdhet a toucidswWr Ana "Save Four self a boot!” Then he added this: “If you don’t want to practice like the poorest scrub on the second team, in falling on the ball—hand in your uni- torm. We need you, but we don’t need you that badly!” Branch Rickey has probably long since forgotten that lecture he gave me 4s we sat on the locker-room bench but I haven't. I learned that season to fall on the ball every time I saw it fumbled. I didn’t care whether it was a yard or six yards from me. I learn- ed to threw my body forward, like a baseball player sliding into a base, one of my flying bodies, on frozeii ground, into mud and dust or grass and stuble. I didn’t care where the ball was fumbled. It was my duty to fall on it and recover it if I could. All of us have seen many games won because men had learned the sim- ple rudiment of falling on the ball when it had been fumbled, either by the cther team or by one’s own play- | six minutes.

The business of learning Latin constructions s, or French verbs cr multiplication tables, or washing dishes, or studying at night, or writing essays, or keeping fit, is a manner of falling on the ball. I mean that we must first learn to do the a-b-c of training before we are ready for the spectacular end-runs, forward passes, and drop-kicks, For weeks and weeks in the early part of the season the football coach trains his men to fall on the ball.

The man who falls on the ball forgets himself in the one aim of recovering that ball. It is hard work. Nobody likes it. It is drudgery in football. But it has to be done. But when a man has mastered the drudgery of football he is ready tor the spectacular things that win applause and glory. Every college and high school has its drudgery. Every task has its hour of slaving. Lindbergh wasn’t ready for that immortal flight until he had spent long hours alone at night over his charts and campasses, until he had gone through the every-day and every- night drudgery of delivering the air mail in rain and hail, snow and fog The story of these days his life when few knew who he was, when he was working for a mere pittance in wages, risking his life every day and night is a story of falling on the ball. Paganini, Paderewski, Elman, Fritz Krewsier are drudges. 1 mean that these great musicians have, through- out a lite time, spent five or six hours a day practicing notes on the piano or the violin. first last and always they have kept everlasting at the business of taliing on the ball in or- der to keep the technique of the art which they have mastered at a high pitch. One great piano player used to say: “Ii I quit practicing on the piano ~ _ st-t-e sy ovares 10r a Week, my audience notices it. If I quit practicing tor an hour I know it myself.” The great painters have for years studied anatomy and drawing. ‘They nave done the drudges work of their art. Rodin used to study the anatomy eof dead bodies he had purchased at the morgue in Paris until he knew every nerve, every muscle, every vein in the human body. That was his way of falling on the ball : The wiayos, tamous surgeons at ochester winn., did not become world renowned specialists over night. Back or their skill were long, hard hours of drudgery. ‘Lhe young doctors at ‘Yor- onto University who discovered the insulin treatment for diabetes, the deadly enemy of human kind for cent- uries, had a littie five-foot room in which to do their work. They were so poor that they had to go out at night and catch stray dogs to perform their experiments. But they were willing to do these disagreeable things be- cause of the service they would be able to render to humanity. They have reward of achievement and of endur- jing tame, even though they were un- willing to take any special financial rewards for their great discovery. The literary man does not come to his sudden fame over night. Back of the successful writer, the man who gets his stories in the big magazines and his novels into the best seller class are long years of drudgery. The famous author who writes a novel whicn sells more than a million copies has usually written ten novels, none of which are sold more than two thou- sand copies before he attained to his best seller. Often he has lived from hand to mouth But during these years he was “falling on the ball.” _ He was learning the game of writ- ing. Perhaps America has no better il- lustration of a man who, through a life time of drudgery and self-dis- cipline, prepared himself for great emergencies than Abraham Lincoln. As a boy he said, “I will study hard and get ready and perhaps my chance will come.” And when he came to be President of the United States he was not above “falling on the ball” So great was his devotion to the cause that he overiocked the insults of Stan- ton and Chase and put up with the eon- ceit of General McClellan, saying, “I will hold McClellan’s horse for him if only he will give us a victory.” Like every great leader he suffered humi- liation that he might come to glory. Every sucessful writer, every stud- ball player every man of profession, to learn the rudiments of the game he he He must learn to fall on the .

Just a few years ago, the only bunch we could raise a game with was Statesville, and we played them so often and so hard that the boys would even remem- ber the sore spots on the opposing team when we would play the second game. Now, however, with Moores- ville, the Winston Orphanage, Ashe- | ville, and possibly others, planning teams for next year, it ought to be a great and glorious time for these lightweights. > = COsia AUASANDENELESUQGAESEEAETATEUNGEGLEETENEL ATTEN Miscel.

This splendid institution will henceforth be known as “The | Mills Home.” While it may be thought that as a general principle there is little in a name, it has to be confessed that there is something even in a name. The word home is more appropriate and indeed is better English than the word orphanage. Orphanage we believe the dictionaries declare is a state or a condition in which a child finds himself. Strickly speaking it is not a good name for an institution. No doubt the North Car- olina brethren will require a little time to get accustomed to the change of name, but in the end they will like it greatly. The name of Mills is selected because the founder of the institution some forty odd years ago was named J. H. Mills. Incidentally it is pleasant to have from the paper the information that the Orphanage report from Thomasville had fine | consideration at recent meeting of the Baptist State Convention of North} Carolina.—The Connie Maxwell. ——P. 0.

V1. noe ACTERIA January has not been a dull month by ail means. The Flu Bugs and Bas- ket bali fans have had lots to talk about. During the holidays and the early part of January, the flu squad num- bered around fifty. Everybody seem- ed to be doing it. The germs had a fair pienic all the time, our athletic program had to give way somewhat until this picnic was over. Now the Flu epidemic seems to be passing and in the same pro- portion Athletics are coming again into the lime light. The early Basket ball games showed that our girls certainly know their spinach, January’s record just seems to prove that, games this month re- sulted in victories for the first team over Lexington, Statesville, Spencer, and Mooresville, with the second team losing to Lexington and Union Grove only. The boys team is getting better! and manage to score a little more in each game, but so far haven’t thrown a real scare into their opponents. | Their schedule has been a hard one and the squad is small. Their con- sistent effort under these circum- stances is certainly to be commended. The lightweights had their first game Saturday, January 26. They Played « light team from Charlotte Y. M. C. A. and lost by the score of 26 to 10. Considering the difference in the experience of the two teams, | our boys did pretty good and we are looking forward to their rating high some day. Wresiling—We have had three meets so far, losing the first to Con- cord Y. M. C. A. by the score of 18-5. The second to Winston-Salem High by the score of 10 to 9. The third meet was with Concord Y again and was our first on the home court. Our boys won by the score of 18 to 8. We will scon go out against the Da- vidson Fresh for a pair of meets, and may be we can win one of these. Spontaneous Combustion So much for officiat sports. A lot can still be said about ’the other kind. Peg seems to bid everything just now, and there are times during the day when the air is thick with pegs.

Possibly nobody realizes quite as vividly as these girls waiting on the tables, just how much food is used daily by our big family. Anyhow it seems particularly fitting that they should have chosen for their subject as a thing for which we should be especially thankful, “That we al- ways have plenty of food.” It will soon be time for our mid- winter clinic when we carefully weigh and measure each child here. This is an extremely interesting occasion and at this time we find out some of the reasons for the tons and tons of food consumed during the year. The average yearly increase in weight of our family is around two tons. Some of your statiticians figure out how many tons of biscuits it takes to make a ton of Bills.

Mention of this same legacy again found the front page of the papers just before Christmas and again set up such rejoicing that many of our friends must have put their pens ana check books back in their pockets in order to have both hands free for applauding.

B. JOHNSTON, Manager OF THI + PICTURE Lottie Walker Ist FLOOR COCTUDEEE TECH EE OPECCRCECEEEEDEEE TOE The past year has been full of a number of things. On first thought it might seem that the majority of these were of an un- pleasant nature and we at Barium Springs have felt all of them. The great hurricane of last year hurt very materially the whole Atlantic seaboard, and Barium Springs felt this. It destroyed quite a bit of bur crop and we are feeling now the shortage of hay and corn caused by that hurricane. The cotton mills had a hard year, and some of their distresses has been imparted to us in reduced income and increased number of appeals to us. The flu has hit the country pretty hard and we have had our portion of that. We have had an average of thirty cases for over six weeks. It seems to have struck our grown people even to a larger extent than the children. 1928 was election year, also—a year that is usually dreaded by business men everywhere. It means uncertainty and upsetting of normal conditions. Barium Springs has felt the ill effects of that also. In fact, if we just put our mind to it, we can think of enough things to give us a very heavy case of the blues. There has been a financial stringency and bank failures, and this has been felt most acutely at Barium Springs. It is almost easy for cur minds to be so full of this that everything of a hope- ful nature is excluded. Maybe our minds just refuse to hold too much of this, or for! some reason they wish to turn to more pleasant thoughts. What- ever the cause, we want to throw into this gloomy situation some of the things that make us look on the bright side of life here. Way back in December, at S gested that we try to think up the things that we at Barium Springs are particularly blessed in: the things that we should be more thankful for than even our country at large. ed to use the Sunday morning Chapel period to things, and that the different cottages here be a subject. The smaller cottages were given first chance, and the very first | selection made by Synod Cottage was Christmas; and when we| come to think of it, Christmas at Barium Springs is really a sup-' erlative affair. Christmas is a time of happiness all over the world; it is a time when all man-kind should be particularly grate- ful; but at Barium Springs we should be, and are, doubly so be- It was decid- | asked to suggest | cause we believe there is no other place where there is as much | happiness: with as little unhappiness as our glorious Christmas times ‘here. The next selection was hy Annie I and these little girls chose our Christian Edu fied at Barium as a matter for particular thankfulness. seemed to be a-rather large subject for such certainly stands right at the top of the thankful for; that we can study the Bible he any. conflicting of the rights of Church or embarrassment.as.to the teaching of doct of no school of any character teach the word of Go nation has. | The third selection was by Howard Cottage, girls, and they chose as their subject, shelters us from cold that provides nourishment for our bodies and so many pleasant things for our minds. It happened that the Sunday that this subject was used was a day when the weather was most unpleasant. It seemed that that particular spell of weather was sent just to emphasize the value of our comfortable buildings. The next se This small girls, but it re unhampered by State; and without any rines. In fact, we know that has quite the opportunity to slightly larger Our Home, this place that work. We know no adult that has gone here would fail to seleet this subject a bunch of boys ordinarily supposed to hate work, would have chosen this.

Everybody at’ Barium Springs does get along together. We are all too busy. to.spend much time in gossip. There are so niahy big things to do. There’s such a community of interest that the whole family, grown folks and children together, work together like a united team, and this is one of the reasons why the atmosphere of Barium Springs is such a happy atmosphere. Why people that visit us feel something in the very air of the place that makes them love it. As we write this, we are still to hear from Jennie Gilmer Cot- tage, Rumple Hall and both floors of the Lottie Walker Building, and maybe by that time the Infirmary group will have caught their breath long enough from nursing flu patients to select a subject. We don’t know whether we will ask the Baby Cottage to select a subject of not. The Baby Cottage itself is certainly not one of the least things for which we should be especially thankful. The work this cottage has enabled the Orphanage to do that was impossible before we had the Baby Cottage, is enough |to be in a class by itself. We believe that these Sunday morning thoughts have been very ;much needed. We are apt to fill our minds full of the distressing | things and the gloomy things that we haven't time left to think of these pleasant things; and sometimes it takes ¢ jolt to wake us up to the fact that life is more full of pleasant things than it is of disagreeable things. Several years ago, at our matron meetings which were held | about every two weeks, quite a lot of the time was used in dis- cussing how to make certain rather bad children behave. time we met together the conversation would revert to these particular boys and girls that seemed to be giving trouble in school or in their work or in their general conduct. We would leave the meeting with our brows wrinkled up and more or less depressed at the apparent hopelessness of some cases. Some time after this one of the boys at the place became seriously sick, and when we commenced to talk about him, as naturally we would, we found that, except for the matrons that came in con- ; tact with this boy, none of the others had ever heard his name, because his name had never been mentioned in the matron’s meet- ings. He had never given any trouble. He had been a pretty | good student, he had done his work well, and was a model boy in pretty near every respect, and yet we hadn’t spent any time in | discussing his case. This made us stop and ponder a little to see | if there were any more boys like him in our family, and we found that the boys like this were far more numerous than the ones like the few that we had been in the habit of discussing so earnestly at our bi-weekly. meetings Of course we want to correct the error go wrong in the world, but unless we fresh our minds by thinking of the pleasant things, we are api /to grow into a gloomy, sour, unpleasant set of individuals. We have had to fill th Messenger with so many pressing appeals for money. We have had to exploit the plight of the Orphanage in its financial affairs so strenuously, not only through the col- ;umns of our papéF, but by letter and by conversation, that we are apt to lose sight of the things for which we should be sup- remely thankful, and this editorial is written to be a sort of an | Oasis where you can read and rest your mind before adventuring | into the more or less desert stretches of the rest of the editorial matter in this paper. When we think of our Thanksgiving offering, we are distres- sed. Were this the only year, or the first year that the Orphan- age had been cared for by our church, we would be extremely des- pondent, but we know that in times past there have been times of financial distress that have been followed by a response from our people that have again put our affairs on a solid basis. We have faith to believe that this will happen again; that the back- set of this year will be followed by a renewed interest and a more generous attitude by all the people, which will result in a more | adequate support than ever before.

His mother, hearing a shrill meeowing, called out: “Dont hurt the kittens, Willie.” “Oh no,” said Willie, “I’m carrving them very carefully by the stems.” Insurance Agent: “Madam, is your husband at home?” Lady: “Yes, he’s in the barn with the cattle.” Insurance Agent: “Shall I have any trouble finding him?” Lady: “No, he’s the only one with whiskers.” Many of us spend half our time wishing for things which we could have if we didn’t spend half our time in just wishing.

Our boys’ basketball team has been improving by leaps and bounds, and we hope to see them win a game by the time the season is out. The girls have been winning all the games they have played. Miss dams has gone to her sister’s for the week-end, and Miss Thomas has been substituting in her place. Dr. Carr of Mooresville, is conduc- ting a teacher’s training class this week in the old school building and those who attended the first meeting were very enthusiastic and are go- ing to bring more next time. Two of our girls gave a blood transfusion last week and we thought they were very brave. It gave them sore arms for a few days, but that was all. 0. i.

And the boy did not know which road was best. And he lost the race and the victor’s crown, He was caught at last in an angry snare, Becaus no one stood at the croosroads there, To show him the better road. Anothe day at the self-same place, A boy with high hopes stood; He was seeking the things that were good. But one was there who the roads did know, And that one showed him which way to go; So he turned away from the road that went down, And he won the race and the victor’s crown, He walks to-day the Highway fair, Because one stood at the crossroads there, To show him the better road, the road stretched west, went down, —Author Unknown 'i w e f t l h S aS tee coer BARIUM Megs SENGER PUBLISHED By THE PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS’ HOME For THE INFORMAT'tON OF ir *s FRIENDS VOL.

Summing up—The orphanage, workine with the other agencies in our state for the relief of dependent children, is doing an ev: vl ger and better service to the state. The money to run this isn’t collected by a sheriff, or income tax man. but is a matter that is left to each one’s individual inclination in the matter of “Free Will Offerings.’ Cynics may laugh and say that such a thing can’t be done. that a voluntary tax is an impractical dream. Our answer to that is that it has been done and we believe will continue to be done. The greatest bar to it uecess is not the lack of the “Will’ but a habit of forgetfulness. 0 uch before this Our Thanksgiving Offering was $14.1 church year ends to simply hold our owi It you are one that has to make an it le tax re} the service this place is rendering with what you are doing for i! id if by any chanee vou find vour benevo- lences falling below the 15 per cent may we modesils gest that you might look farther and fare much worse than to send more } We have need | iall gifts and we have need for large gifts.

Twenty-six sets of tonsils have turned Bolshevik and will have to be eliminated on account of this epidemic. Quite a decided loss in weight was noticed in the older children that had recently had influ- enza. Taking it all in all, however, the in- crease in weight was about as usual. | A total for the entire fambily 2,595 pounds Of this amount, 1275 was boy and 1120 pounds girl. Here are the figues by cottages: The twelve boys of pre-school age, under six, gained forty-three pounds—an average of 3.6 pounds. Synods Cottage averaged 4.5 pounds. Lees Cottage, ten to fifteen years, gained 8.2 pounds. Alexander Cottage, about the same age, 7.8 pounds. Jennie Gilmer Cottage, 11.3 pounds, making an average for the whole 170 boys here, of 7.2 pounds per boy. For the girls, the smaller ones gained 5 pounds. Annie Louise, 4.9 pounds. Howard Cottage, 7.3 pounds. Rump le Hall, 11.1 pounds. Lottie Walker Second Floor, 6.7 pounds. Lot- tie Walker First Floor, .4, an averag« for the 179 girls weighed up, of 6.25 pounds per girl. We find that by Cottages Jennie Gilmer showed the greatest individual gain, 11.3, with Rumple Hall a close second, 11.1. Jennie Gilmer had one boy who gained twenty-five pounds. Lees Cottage, one who gained twenty- four pounds. The girls beat this, however, having one of the Infirmary girls to gain twenty-six pounds; one Rumple Hall girl, twenty-five; one twenty-four; one twenty-three; one twenty-two and one twenty. When we get below twenty there are two many to even mention. We notice that the girls outgrow the boys very much until they are fifteen years of age. Then the boys really begin to put out. They go in for quantity, so to speak; where- as the girls seem to specialize in quality along that time, and while they grow much better looking, they do not take on so much extra weight. This is illustrated by the fact that Jennie Gilmer, the cottage where the larger boys stay, gained a total of 374 pounds; whereas, the Lottie Wal- ker First Floor where our older girls stay, gained only ten pounds. Several of the girls in this cottage, however, have suffered loss in weight due to recent illness which accounts for their small gain. A gain of twenty-five pounds makes quite a difference in a persons appear- ance. Just imagine how a hundred person’s clothes will fit when they add a fourth of their weight in a year! They don’t always look like the same person if you didn’t happen to see them in between. The Doctor failed to recognize several as the same est In Cennec- Health Examination children that he had examined the year before. One girl, however, of the middle-size had an operation for appendicitis dur- ing the year and still managed to put on twenty-two pounds in weight. Surely her appendix must not have weighed that much!

There is so much work to be donc this time of year outdoors. Everybody wants to get out and go to it. There is one most unpleasant job that has to be done and that is sit in a stuffy bank and try to argue with a more or less pessimistic banker about re- newing your notes and )y:creasing the note for a little bit to take care of some maturing obligations. We have to that so much that it is tak-| represent us ing all the fun out of Spring. Several days ago, we had a visit from our good friend and neighbor, Dr. L. Ross Lynn, of Thornwell Or-| taking about half of their games. Dr. Lynn didn’t give any! They have had some phanage. narticular reason why he visited us at this time other than just making a social call. We have our suspicions. however, because he went home in a so much more cheerful mood than when he came, and our suspicion is } that he was so distressed and de- pressed over the condition of the fi- nances of Thornwell Orphanage that he just felt like he had to get out and taik it over with some one. He came to us at Barium Springs, and when he found out that we were in worse plight than he was, he went home in a more cheerful frame of mind. We} feel encouraged since talking things over with him from imbibing some of his strength and faith from his longer experience in matters of this kind. We all agree that it is such a pity that it is necessary for the ad- ministrative heads of every orphan- age to spen a better part of his en- ergy in wrestling with the financial} problems that constantly face him. It| is, of course, hard on the head of an orphanage to have to do this. It takes a lot of the joy out of life, but then, when al is said and done, he is paid for it and there is no need of los- ing any great sleep over that. But it occasionally gets beyond him and hurts the work that is being done for the children, and that is a time for everybody to commence to worry, or better, to do something about it. It is a good deal like expending a lot of energy and money to raise a crop and then harvest the crop to guard through the various dangers until it is ready for the market, to finally haul it to shipping points and have it all ready to load and then run out of money or energy that it takes to put it in a railroad car, Of for the defeat of the girls.

Two of Barium’s ieading lights played their last game. Sara Coates, , a most efficient and dependabie guard, and Elma Roderick, the white-headea | part of Barium’s red, white and blue | forwards.

They have made a record that is most remarkable. Th« two defeats suffered at the hands ot |} Troutman this year, one defeat last | year and ofie defeat by Cornelius on their home court in 1928, are the only times this team has been defeat- } ed in the last two seasons. We might be inclined to be gloomy over our future prospects, if we just} thought how consistently well these girls have played ball, but we still have our tall red-headed Center; We | still have little Tokie Torrence as another Forward; we still have Ed na MeMillan, and Elizabeth Bobbitt; Esther Archer as first string guards, and just loads of good material te fill up the gaps. At the end of this season, we have to take off our hats to our neighbors on the South as the undisputed Bas- ketball Champions of this section, as we took off our hats in the fall t our near neighbors on the North as the undisputed Football Champions of even a larger section; and we take consolation in the fact that we red beth of ‘em when they played us.

We are glad to see some warn Jays after the long, cold winter nonths. Our basket-ball season ended Tues- lay night with a game with Trout- nan at Statesville. We were defeat- -d by a small score, but Barium team played a good game. Matoka Torrence, one of our girls had her tonsils removed yesterday We miss Matoka and hope she will soon be back among us again Rev. Wilson is conducting a series if meeting here this week. We are ull enjoying them and like Mr. Wilson fine. We were very sorry to hear that Miss Clark’s sister was hurt by the xplosion of a gas stove. The cut was very painful,but not very serious, We were glad to learn, and we hope she will soon bewell again. Tne Kiwanis, Lions aand Rotary ‘lubs met here last Friday night We had a good time. Several inter sting members were presented by the various clubs, among them a 1egro impersonation by Jules Arm- field. Good-by. Only Reason. “When I was young,” said Aunt Jane, “girls never thought of doing the things they do today?” “That’s probably why they didn’t do them.” Last year there were.-vecai ed be- lated contributions, i. e., contributions received during April but applying on the year closing March,the 31st, five thousand dollars in round num- bers, so that at this time we are twenty-five thousand dollars behind the final wind-up of last year. Now, we will receive some money during April—we don’t know how much—We may ‘receive the whole twenty-five thousand, but it is not likely. We may receive as much as ten thousand which will make up the shortage of March, and belated con- tributions also. Even with this, we will add to the deficit for the year nstead of reducing it. We wish every member of the church would give this matter seri- ous thought. It isn’t anything for us to foam at the mouth about, or start on a campaign of abuse, but it is a matter for serious thought and pray- erful consideration. Barium Springs is a well equipped orphanage, equip- ped to handle 360 children. It has a zood organization and is doing a work that is considered good by the various agencies that make a study of this sort of work. The need for the parti- ‘ular work that it does is certainly jot diminishing. It does not seem that the ability of the Church to carry on this work is diminishing, and yet the ymount of money coming in to carry the work is diminishing. Only two courses are left oipen to us. One is to continue running at ‘ull capacity, and so heavily involve che institution with debt that its fu- tuure will be seriously threatened, wr else to curtail the amount of work yeing done to fit the income. Let us study this second plan, first: Suppose we do curtail, and we have jone this to a slight extent. There ire twenty-seven less children here iow than there were two years ago. Thornwell Orphanage has something like fifty children less than at that -ime. Connie Maxwell Orphanage, the Baptist institution of South Caro- lina, has closed two cottages. The trouble with the curtailment problem is that it seems that the res- ponse of the Church decreases faster ‘han it is possible to curtail, and in- stead of accomplishing the reducing if a debt, it seems to pile it up faster. Let us consider the first plan: That of running at full capacity regardless of any mounting debts. When we con- sider the applications and appeals that ‘ome to us, it seems that this is the only plan to adopt. We wonder if you who read this, place any special sig- nificance on the matters that fill our daily newspapers. Monday newspa- ners used to be hard to fill up with news. It is not so difficult now, be- ‘ause several sheets can be covered with the accounts of Sunday automo generally over 50 per cent. The rea- | shrubbery.

The crowd seemed glad to see exch other, and to be at Barium, and the way they applauded our program and laughed goodnaturedly at our mis- takes, made the occasion all the more like a big family reunion. We try not to be vain, but we folks at Barium Springs do love a word of praise occasionaly, and the expressions of good will made both collectively and individually, by people attending, is very sweet to our ears. No one person or group of people, can claim the credit for the success of this entertainment. It is a community affair, and the official host pos- sibly had less to do with the success than any of those participating. When we stop to think a little, everybody at Barium Springs had something to do with the success of this entertainment. Way back yonder about Christmas time, three hogs were set apart on the farm and named “Rotary.” “Lions,” and “Kiwanis.” It looked as if these very hogs themselves got a little snooty toward the rest of the herd, as if they realized the glorious destiny that was in front of them, i. e., to some day become part and parcel of two-legged Kiwanians, Rotarians and Lions. The Dairy crowd are always called in, not only for their work in their own department, but for decorating and helping to arrange.

Everybody with any Irish in their blood at all had a hand in the dpteianies, and our crowd is pretty thoroughiy Irish The work of the Kitchen and Dining Room force is self evident. Heretofore, we have been hay a fruit salad and one or two side courses, but we found out from experience in the more or less frivolous parts of past two years, that these the meals were just in the way of some of the heavy-eating guests elbows. They wanted to get both hands and a full front | view of the sausage, ham and ‘taters that constitute our main artic les of diet This year, we stuck to essentials.

We find with us today Issac the Jew, local representative for the English Government in Palestine. He is attending with his daughter, Rebec- ca.

But John willing to see the Saxons beaten, did not eall in the police. John finally phoned to Scotland Yard for the police because his rough- necks were getting the worse since the Black Knight had come into the fight. The Black Knight was proclaimed victor, but he was nowhere to be seen. He had taken a taxi immediatly after the tournament. They then knew that they must award the Disinherited Knight the prize, which was a new Ford. The Knight was requested to take off his helmet. He meant to say but he had eaten too many hot dogs before the fight so that he now had/} the stomach ache and could not speak. However the promoters of the fight took off his helmet. And who should they behold? Why it was little Johnny Ivanhoe. He had been fired from the squad for eating apples. When Sammy Cedric beheld him he was extremely glad and ran to meet! him. You know Sammy was a good old cuss so he received his son back on the squad. As Rowena, Cedric and walked out of the gate they saw Issa the Jew trying to sell Henry Ford a buggy whip. Cedric and his party will leave te- night for St. Louis where they will encounter® the “Bowling Alley Bears.” Luck and good will goes wih them.

This is the daily routine of the Farm boys and now as the pensmen take up their instruments we have three large newgrounds near com- pletion which we have been contin- ually working on for the past entire winter. The boys are repeatedly giving sighs of relief as we near the end. Then we will change our tool: (weapons), the maddock for the hoe, and chase grass up and down the rows instead of roots. Now at late hours in the evening you can hear again the noise of trac- tors drilling back and forth over the distant hills preparing the ground for the spring planting, driven by our two famous tractor mechanics—Mr. J. F. Stinson, and Mr. Lafayette Augustus Cato Marcellus Lindy Don- aldson. These two boys can tear up any tractor in the country and put t back together in a limited time. You should see them some afternoon after working in some dry field. They would take off any beauty prize in the state. Mr. Troy Cavin, our widely known farm boss, has just recovered from his recent illness and has returned to be with us again. Also our promi- rent carpenter, Mr. Robert Nesbit, has been laid up with a serious wound sustained by falling from the top of me of our buildings, and we are hop- ng he will soon be back with us. We are fortunate enough to have his substitute his brother, Mr. Tom- my Nesbit. He is seen running around the campus. with window sereens and a hammer. The only way to distinguish them apart is by heir eyes—-one has brown eyes and che other blue. We have two mew Freshies on the Farm: Mr. Grover “Louise” Miles, and Archie “Nellie” Greeson, printer and mechanic by trade, but farmers sy action and appearance. Two of our good looking gentlemen, Edward Flowers and Bruce Parcell, have re- ‘eived their diplomas and have ven- tured to higher positions. Good luck, yd scouts, and may you climb the ladder of success rapidly. All of the wheat fields smile as we xo by and seem to say, “Just wait intil some het July morning.” Our farm colony now contains nine yuildings two of which were recently yuilt. One has been painted but the sthers have not. Billy Brutus MacKay to Jimmy Lucky: Say Big Boy, what stage of a zirls life is the honeymoon ? Jimmy Lucky: Bill, you knows I ion’t fool with dem wimmin folks. What stage is it? Bill: Its the stage between the lip- itick and the broomstick. The Campus is very nice sincespring s here and Private Izzie Potter and and our dignified senior Sargent Oscar Clark are seen pushing their most be- loved machines, the lawn mowers around the campus. Izzie Potter is of- ten seen whistling “we're in the army now.” Only two more months and then the story will be told. Flunk or Pass It won't be long now until we will start putting in eight and a half hours a day instead of four. Then is whenthe the water boy will call for the calf rope instead of standing around doing 1othing. Billy MceKay’s spring time fancy for girls has been renewed by some one for he is seen very often going towards Troutman in the afternoon dressed up with his new Polka det tie. We want to thank the people of the campus for cooperating with us in returning the tools. And now we have one more pet- ition to ask,,“Stay off the Grass”. We thank you. The Root Pilers > HMMM Alumni News Donaldson-Compton Friends of Miss Lydia Donaldson, assistant kitchen matron and a mem- ber cf Barium alumni, will be inter- ested in the announcement of her mar- riage which tock place Saturday, March 30th to Mr. Fred Compton, of Troutman.

The following on “Full Measure” is a splendid ex- ample: The market man who gives good measure keeps your patronage. | You feel pleased when you discover that you do not have to watch the scales, and when now and then he throws in a little extra weight. It is to his advantage to please you. He is in business to get patrons and | keep them.

If you care to look inte the matter further, you may begin to wonder just how that minus quantity is carried along until the more or less prolific yutpouring around Thanksgiving. Well, there are two ways—one is to use up reserves that may have een carried over from the previous year—or second—to go in debt. io have a fairly decent credit. This Instituéion has never been able to pile up any reserves of conse- quence however desirable such a situation would be, but it has enjoyed an | message. This good credit was based on the fact that though we did go in debt at times, we always managed to pay up during the twelfth month. Now unfortunately the situation is different. A slump of $17,000 in revenue from the churches of the Synod for the year just closed, has forced us to carry over unpaid bills of that amount, and we are now finding it diffi- cult and extremely embarrassing to carry on the work of the Home. We wont try to enlarge on the above, but leave it to you to visualize the situation. We want to leave with you this one thought. This is written on June Ist, a day when the vacation spirit seems to be in the very air. Schools are closing, teachers and students alike are looking forward to a rest of some kind, maybe just a change. . ” e Nearly everybody who reads this will take some sort of vacation during the next hundred days, maybe it will be just a part of a vacation, stopping part of your work, if no more than keeping up fires and carrying out ashes. the business of Administration of this great Institution here doesn’t seem to ever The business of receiving appti- cations, of investigation, of receiving new children doesn’t have a letup. The daily business of feeding, clothing, looking after the health and happiness of the larger number that are always here, doesn't let up for even a part of a day. dren is no light summer occupation in itself.

Hope Miss Hanna was proud of us. Vacation is the topic of conversa- tion these days and even we babies are talking it and some of us are really going on vacations, Our twin girls, Helen and Evelyn Billings are now gone for their vacation. They had a birthday party and their cake had six candles in it. Mr. Billings came and brought Master William and little Mable Billings to the party and he also brought a great big water- melon for all the babies, the first and only melon this summer at our cot- tage. William and Mable Billings will be our babies from now on. Wil- liam is a fine little fellow of four years and Mable is quite a pretty lit- tle girl about two and a half years ot uge. We want to tell you of another birthday party we had this month. Rhoda Daniel’s mother came and brought a great big cake. We had our two green benches put together like a table and out on the lawn we had the loveliest party. We sang “Happy Birthday” to Rhoda several times and then played games until bedtime and as Rhoda was enjoying the party so much and we were all loathe to break away from the party. we just sang our evening song and had our prayers around the birthday table before coming in to go to bed. Can’t you guess that was a happy birthday party for all of us as well as for Rhoda. Our big girl, Retha Mae Peele, had a visit from her brother’s family re- cently. They had the sweetest and cutest little boy baby, one year old. He could walk and talk fine. Retha goes on her vacation next week and we will miss her terrible, because she is one of our fine cooks. Mr. Sipes brought us some fine spring chickens today. We will enjoy them very much. One of the greatest pleasures we've had, was a visit from little Miss Jac- queline Edwards (a beautiful baby one year old). She entertained u with many cute little accomplishme its as throwing kisses, smelling flower: and waving her hand goddbye. We hope she'll come often to see us. Mrs. Spratt was grand to us while Mrs. Herman was away. We love Mrs. Spratt very much. Tom said “Hermie, I was very good to Mrs. Spratt.” He meant Mrs. Spratt was good to him. We are playing down in the woods every day and soon Mr. Johnston is going to have some swings made down there and we will be mighty glad. ——P. 0.

Of course we can’t tell them just when that will be, we can tell them when we think it will and then we go to you for the correct answer. Now the trouble right now, or one of the troubles is that we have made some bad estimates in our letters to our creditors, and they have taken thse surmises as promises and are getting impatient. They want their money now and you know there is a lot in what they say. By a strange coincidence our most pressing obligations right now amount to just about $20,000.00 and that is almost exactly the amount the churches are behind in this year’s contributions.

This table has a way of showing up ietails both pleasant and unpleasant. it has been over a year since it has shown anything to get hilarious about ind it may be that you may get the rotion that it has never shown any- ching but bad news. Now this is not the case, the table s most sensitive to good deeds. If you doubt this, just send a sizable heck or work up a good collection in your church Sunday School or Aux- liary and send it in to us and watch 1ow quickly this table reacts. For instance, last month Albemarle Presbytery was halfway up, being in ifth place, this month she would be ower down in the standing but for ne thing—that pne thing was a check for $500.00 sent by one in- lividual. Just look what it did, it put Albemarle in the lead, it reduced ier shortage from 18%cents per mem- yer to 11°%4, bringing her up to less han a month behind. That’s just a few of the things it lid to the table. Now what did it do o us? We started threshing wheat last veek and our wheat goes directly to he mill and is sold, we were counting m this wheat money helping about valf-way in taking care of some items hat just had to be paid, they couldn’t »e put off. Well about the middle of he week it commenced to rain, and tt the same time money just quit oming in.

We were desperate ind we couldn’t thresh wheat in the ain, we couldn’t go out and get noney in time for our needs. We were n a bad fix and all we could do about t was just to wait for the next mail. When this mail came. the first letter we opened had this $500 and the mail had several more checks keeping this one company, and that critical situa- tion was passed. You have heard of the straw that broke the camel’s back, well this was the straw that kept the camel’s back trom breaking. It didn’t pay us out f trouble but it did certainly put a new aspect on things. In our distress we had written te a few friends to come to our help, our letters found most of these friends away from home, but those that were at home responded almost without exception. If the membership of the church throughout the Synod would respond them. “Mac” and “Mac,” in the same way, it would not only tide us over our present embarrass- ment, it would pay us out of debt entirely. We have said a whole lot more in this article than we did in those letters It is possible that enough people could read this, and enough resolve to start something to us to make our tabie look like the declaration of independ- ence. We need it friends, this little paper goes to you this time with all the appeal that we could put in a personal letter. Don’t fail us, there is no al- ternative but to do the things here that we have put our hands to do.

James Hannon one of our favorite boys came back yester- day. He spent his vacation in Char- lotte with his grandmother. We are having lots of apples and peaches right now and we surely do enjoy them. Swimming is our main sport now. O boy, it sure does feel good to plunge into the water when the sun is hot. We have a new boy here now, bis name is Edward Burney and he is from Clarkton. We hope he is going to enjoy staying with us. Mrs Moore our matron has gone on her vacation and Miss Taylor is stay- ing with us while she is gone. We hope Mrs Moore will have a good time. Well this is all our news right now. —The House Cats RABBITS. Did you know we were in the rabbit business? We are honest, and this doesn’t mean that we are just good rabbit catchers either. We have the very best thorough bred New Zealand Reds, that we started from the famous rabbitry vf Methodist Orphanage at Macon, Ga. We have had fine success rais- ing these, and they add to our table fare at the Infirmary and Baby Cottage. Just now we have some that are entirely too pretty to kill. We want to sell a few pairs. This class of stock usually brings $25.00 a pair. We will sell four pair at $15.00 a pair. Special prices for single rabbits. See us for these bargins.

The I most famous of all the Southern Presbyterian Orphanages. The place that Dr. W. P. Jacobs brought to the attention of the entire nation. The place that has a large part in the history of our church, and whose very name brings up hallowed memories. This Institution has, for a long time, been the leader of all the Southern Presbyterian Orphanages. * On our former visit there and on the visit of the President and his mem- bers of staff from Thornwell, we have always been content to take a second place and we did this without any feeling of inferiority but rather a pride that we stand second to this grand old institution. That we could stand next in line as regards size, with the hope that we could approach her in ideals and in achievements. On this particular visit we were introduced on one occasion as being from Barium Springs, the place that now leads the Southern Presbyterian Orphan- ages in size, having taken that place in front of Thornwell Orphanage. On first thought this introduction would seem to cause us to be filled with pride, but knowing as we do the reasons back of this it is more with a feel- ing of sadness than that of exultation that we heard this introduction. Barium Springs has not outstripped Thornwell, even in numbers. Springs, in fact, has slumped in this line during the last twelve montlis. In jis doing this, why | the Printing | Farm - Campus AVUUCUUEAOUUUTERU DERG ODE ES ECT E EEE EEE This news seems to concern the farm more than it does the campus. It zoes this way, that we are so busy with the farm work that we leave the campus to itself for awhile. Well the hay is ready to cut and there’s a little construction work here | and there, but oh! that wheat! That’s the big noise now. Cavin say, “There's about eighteen acres in those two fields, and about thirty two in this one, and about eight in that one. Ask anyone if that isn’t a big batch of wheat. But look who it’s the farmers with Toe Donaldson and Joe Potter chauffering the tractors and reapers. Bob Templeton over in one corner with wheat cradle and everyone else shocking. Rabbits dart hither and thither but why run after them, we save our legs for a dash to meals. Well, don’t forget that all this wheat has got to be given a proper thrash- ing. The corn is in good condition now and it is looking pretty. Mr. Cavin, our farm boss, is back with us after an operation. He is now overseeing the wheat cutting. We have a number of boys working their vacation with us. We hope they | will enjoy the vacation part of it. We don’t want to leave out this: | Ab White and Mr. Stinson are our educated reaper operators. They | handle this job fine, although they are 'on the tail end of it. Mr. Lowrance came out in the field {the other day and supplied us with straw hats. We appreciate this very much, especially Reid Brown, whe wants to preserve his school boy com- plexion. We did a little concrete work on | our hog pen the other day and know that it will help in cleaning it out. The farmers took a day off and went over to the school building and tore down all the old cracked up walls. It now being plastered by Mr. Brown and his assisiants. 1s At commencement we lost some of | our farmers including Robert Pittman, | William Hudson and Clarence Clark. We wish them the best of luck. Well it’s about time to close. Yours till we thresh wheat. “Ab Agricolis”. ——P. 0. H. ——— An American, an Irishman and a | Scotchman dined together at a fash- | | Barium | April, 1927, there was 377 children on the roll at Barium Springs. At the | present writing there are 346 Pan children. She now has enrolled 317, A few years ago, Thornwell had close to and we stand as the largest orphanage, not because we have passed her, but because we have retrenched a little bit | slower than she has. When we study the reason back of this retrenchment, then we are sadden- ed. Thornwell is still the delightful place that it has always been. It’s buil4- ings show a beauty and a sturdiness that stand for character and comfort, | and gives one a feeling of confidence that here the Lord’s work is not taken lightly. The class of work being done in material things as well as spiritual things, | that are given the students is on the same high level that has characterized this institution for years. Applications for admissions, if anything, continue to flow in larger volume | than ever before, but still we see a reduction of about eighty children in the number enrolled. Why? The answer is decreased revenue. The same thing that is making those who have the control of Barium Springs, face a situa- | tion not unlike that of Thornwell. It makes them face the question whether they shall lower their standards and do a less worthy job, or whether they shall curtail and do a smaller job? This question must be answered one way or the other or disaster will be in- evitable. It isn’t so much that people are giving less to the Orphanage cause, but it seems that they are giving less to their representative orphanages. Small enterprises, both denominational and non-denominational, seem to be spring- ing up all over the country, and they seem to be pretty well financed until they commence to reach a stage where their work is recognized, and should be getting on a firm foundation, when they begin to be left high and dry and the contributions that should support it, swing over to some newer and pos- sibly more primitive enterprise. Thornwell Orphanage is equipped to do a splendid work. It has behind it more than a half century of splendid achievement and experience, and yet, for lack of support that is adequate, it is having to curtail its usefulness; and what is said of Thornwell can be said of Barium Springs. Barium Springs is a younger institution, having just passed its thirty- eighth birthday. Its buildings, while substantial, do not in every case have the beauty that graces those of her older sister’s, Thornwell, and Barium bas a long successful history of its own and the example of Thornwell, a most devoted and efficient staff and the most delightful collection of children to be found anywhere. Is the fact that these two Institutions have to curtail and to close up part of their capacity due to lack of money being contributed for Orphanage work? Cast about in your own minds, and see if you can remember any oc- casion when you have contributed to a more orless sporadic attempt at Orphanage work that has since dwindled away or is now dwindling away when your own recognized institution is suffering for just that help. Think this over and then go into “Executive Session” with yourself, ionable hotel. Upon finishing the din- ner the American displayed a $5 bill, which he leisurely rolled up and used to light his cigarette. Not to be cut- done the Irishmatseok out a $10 bi’! which he rolled up and used for light- ing his pipe. And the Scotchman, no- thing daunted, drew a check book | from his pocket, wrote a check for $10,000 and used it for lighting his cigar. ERE is an outline of some spiritual calis- thenics, written by Victor Hugo: “Share your bread with little children, see that no one goes about you ‘ith naked feet, look kind- lv upon mothers nursing their children on the door- steps of humble cottages, walk through the world with out malevolence, do not knowingly crush the humblest respect the nests of birds, bow to the purple from afar and to the poor at close range. Rise to labor, go to rest with prayer, go to sleep in the unknown, having for the infinite; love, believe, hope, live, be like him who has a water- ing pot in his hand, only let your watering pot be filled with good deeds and good words; never be dis- couraged, be magi and be father, and if you have lands cultivate them, if you have sons rear them, and if you have enemies bless them—all with that sweet and unobstrusive authority that comes to the soul in expectation of the eternal dawn.” flower, your pillow You can hear Mr. | betaus °° pes | | | | Whoopee!

He is rescued by a girl clerk, Julia Jimmison, who surprises the three ruffians with a heavy tennis raquet and manag to scare them off just in time. She calls a doctor and they prepare to send Jerry to the hos- pital.. About the time the ambulance arrives Julia receives a nole, sup- posedly from one of the three men, who attacked Simpson, -warning hes not to ride in the ambulance.Simpson and Gray both belong to the Calabash Club and it was at this Club that Simpson offended Gray by demanding his expulsion for his illegal opera- tions. Julia and the doctor are trying tow decide whether to send Jerry to a lucal hospital, or to a specialist in Atlanta when the note of warning is received, NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY! CHAPTER If While they worked with the wound- ed man Julia wondered, “Could this be a ruse to keep them in the store, or was it a real warning?” She had in- tended to goin the ambulance with Jerry and if necessary go to Atlanta, The thugs could not possibly know ot their intention of going elsewhere than the city Hospital. Did they plan fur- arry? If how to sO, In m » Jerry slowly came back to consciousness and a realizat- ion of his desperate plight. Suddenly an idea came to Julia and she ran to the rear of the store and began to hur- riedly roll up a small gymnasium mat into a bundle not far from the size of Jerry. Calling the Doctor to her she hurriedly stated her plan. “Lets put this into the ambulance in place of Jerry, then I will help him out of the side door into your buggy and drive to the Terminal station.” Anyone looking on will think that you and L are driving away in the buggy and Jerry going a- lone in the ambulance to the hospital. But lets hurry. Dr. Davidson quickly fell in with the suggestion and care- tully carried the bundle and placed it cot then calling the on the ambulance driver they slid the cot to its place in the ambulance. Then in a rather loud voice and in apparent anxiety he in- structed the driver to go as fast as possible to the city hospital, and that he would be there in his buggy In the dim light the deception without doubt as far ¢ driver was concerned and at that of the there was no other at- tendant with the vehicle. Just as soo as this was out of the way Julia hur- ried back into the store and turned out all the lights, then she and the doctor SUCCES service, helped Jerry to his feet and half car- ried him to the side door opening to the alley where Dr Davidson had left his yy. Now came the difficult part, for she « not dare let both men be seen if her ruse was to be success ful. Fortunately the buggy was within one step of the little platform outside the door and Jerry was able to manage his way into the seat without too much assistance, and once in he sank back against the top so that he could not be seen.Julia then locked the door and sprang lightly into the buggy also and they started out and turned to the right in the direction of the Doctors home but also in the direction of the terminal station Au hour later the doctor carefully let himself out of the same side door and took a street car for the Terminal station where he recovered _ hi: and buggy. As for Julia and her fortune seemed to follow them and on arriving at the station she found the car with Jerry vation at the end of the station where it was possible to drive within a few feet of the car. With in a very short time the almost helpless man was safely in the car and in the seclusion of the stateroom. Except for the depot and train porters no one had seen her or her charge. During the few minutes left before leaving time she sent me res to her boarding house, and ene to Pittsburg for Jerry. Then the train pulled out and this closed the rtist phase of the advent- ure, horse charge, good Ss rese CHAPTER IIL.

Several days after, during the slack time in the afternoon, as if by chance a large police man sauntered in front of the door and began eating peanuts: at the same time a large man came io and began idly looking over the knives | in a show case. How didn’t seem to be enjoying his peanuts he kept slapping at his ear as if a bee ver the policem: were getting too close finally grabbing | the back of his neck so quick that he knocked his helmet off. He started t« pick it up which of course exposed 2 large expanse of tight blue uniform tu the people inthe store. There was a slight spat and if one had looked quickly enough he woud have seen dust fly from several spots on this blue expanse.The policeman didn’t get the helmet but let out a yell and jump ed so far into the street that he almost | j collided with a street car. As it happened there was no cust omer in the store but the one man at the show case, he seemed to be oddly disturbed at the policeman’s antics but before he could make a mov: Simpson was at his side politely ask- ing about his wants. “Oh, this is Mz Mullins is it not? And what can w show you today, we have just gotter in some new tennis goods, or are you more interested in golf?

Sometimes when business is dull we get back here and driving. You see we hung that burlap back there to stop the ball.” We get so interested sometimes we are almost sorry when a customer comes in.” Come right back I would like to show you some fancy shots.” Simpson rattles right on while the be- wildered man hung back and muttered something about being in a hurry. Simpson had him by the arm and ap parently misunderstood him. “Oh thats alright”, he said, “your friends will be along in a minute and then vou can join them. Did you ever hear about the golf expert driving a ball off his watch. Thats pretty good | but I saw a man drive a ball off his friends nose and hit it hard too. I did it once on a bet but wouldn't try that on you because your nose looks kinder sore, did you hurt it or something?” “Now let me show you my new clubs isn’t that a dandy and watch me drive off this pill box without knocking the practice | over.” “Now watch this drive off you see I can’t miss.

Then With a good heavy the club descended but in- tead of the spank of a cleanly hit ball there was the dull plunk of the club on leather, closely followed by the howl of man. “Oh my bunion, you awkward fool, I've a mind to break your blooming head,” yelled Mullins dancing around on one foot and holding the other in his hands. Simpson was still swing ing the heavy club however and appar- ently unconcerned about the other’s ‘| hurt. “Don’t cry old timer”, he said, “that didn’t hurt near as bad as a kick in the face, it might cripple you up for a few days but it will be all right before long except for kicking.” “If you get restless come around a gain and | will give you another treat ment. Here’s your hat, wat"'s hurry ?” Cursing under his breath and almost sobbing from the pain Mullins stumb- led cut of the store. scarcely had he gotten clear of the door when a trap door back of the ar j} counter opened and the grinning face jof Jim and the reddes | headed boy possible were disclosed They we seated in such position | that they could see the front of the |store through two slots cut in | iter, and beside them were | high-powered noiseless air rifles.

A desperate eleventh hour at tempt to prevent his expulsion from the Calabash club came up in the dir ect meeting, and the results for a while seemed in doubt. There were ix | of ten directors that seemed will to turn down the recommendation the club, but just before the mat was put te vote Simpson walked in and the vote stood nine to two for expulsion, four of the weaker voter flopping over to him. Contrary to his usual talkative man jner Jerry had very little to say on this occasion but made up for in the icle he handed to the morning pap which was published over his own ignature. Even Jerry’s closest friend thought this an unwise step for every one who kné Buck Gray at all knew how much he prized his membership in this club and his murderous temper when taunted by his enemy. Eve one j}expected something to happen and Jerry’s unconcern seemed foolhardy to who knew something of the attack made on him. To add to the tenseness of the sit- uation the term of court drew near when Jerry had sworn he would have Gray tried and run out of town, if not to the penitentiary. Birmingham at this time was growing so rapidly that it was hard to police, the organization that might be effective one month would prove inadequate the next. In one decade it expanded from a small |city of thirty thousand to a roaring |lawless young giant of a hundred and thirty thousand.

The poem follows: ‘Lord of all pots and pans and things since I’ve no time to be A saint by doing lovely things in watching late with Thee, yy dreaming in the twilight, or storming heaven's gates, Make me a saint by getting meals or washing up the plates. “Although TI must have Martha’s hands, I have a Mary mind; And when I black the boots and shoes, thy sandals, Lord I find. I think of how they trod the earth each time I serub the floor; Accept this meditation, Lord, I have- n't time for more. ‘Warm all the kitchen with thy love and warm it with thy peace, Torgive me all my worrying and make all grumbling cease.

C., AUGUST, 1929 ae before he comes square up against the proposition that this great big world does not regard him as a spe- cial favorite. It is therefore unjust and really unkind to select a favorite. In the second place, it might be said that a considerable injustice is wrought against the other children when a favorite is selected to take precedence above them, It will inspire ugly thoughts in their hearts, and the resentment created by such a sit- uation will be ost unfortunate for them. Here is a curious fact that may © noted with regard to our having favorites. The person who has a fa- vorite does not admit it. He does not admit it even to himself. Others muy see quickly that lic has a favorite or favorites, but he himself does not think so, and will usually argue that he is not guilty. Under this form oi temptation therefore it Is necessary that we scrutinize our own hearts very very closely. We must be very rigid in self-examination, if we are really to discover whether or not we have favorites. There is a vreat temptation fo preach to children. To be sure we must give good advice and must oe- cupy ourselves constantly in the et- fort to instill proper principles of con- duct, but this is a different thing from preaching platitudes. Just a short time ago I heard a gentleman talking to a little boy, but it was something like this, “Now Johnnie. be a good little boy, study hard, mind your teacher, and you will come to be a great man.” Johnnie had heard the like of this a great many times before, and such platitudes did not make an iiupression upon him. It is easy to yield to the temptation just to talk platitudes. But we must constant!y ask the good Lord for wisdom 10 speak in such a way that we may | suit our appeals to the mind of the child, and that we may present the truth in such a way it may be suit- able to him. Platitudes always strike the outside, and never get within. It takes heart power and great wisdom to interpret a real principle so that a] child will understand and lay it to heart. How important is the truth in that Proverb, “A word in season, how good is it?” There was a girl in ow village who did not especially appeal to anyone. Neither cottage mother nor teacher thought there was much in her as to ality or goodness. She did not have magnetism and was not attractive. She perhaps did not re- ceive as many words of encourage- ment as should have been offered her. Several years passed—she was a member of the rank and file, but no one called her name when anything special was on hand. Finally she reached a grade where she met a teacher who was drawn to her. The | teacher saw something in that child r interest. She began rer encouragement, and the to give child responded. Without in any sense making her a favorite, she has given the child such help and encourage- veut as has stimulated her greatly. She came in a short time to the honor roll in the school, which was some- thing new in her life. Not a friend} had ever expected that she would ever reach so high a position. Yicld not to the temptation to com- plain. How easy it is to give way and find fault. One has only to let go his grip on himself and he will soon join this great class. The temptation should be stubbornly resisted. One may easily fall into the habit of com- plaining ut everything that goes wrong, and will thus complain when} nothing in the world can be done about it. Discussing a problem is dif- terent from complaining about some- thing that has past and cannot be helped. It is easy for the voice of complaint to degenerate into a whine. The complainer too is usually uncon- scious of the fact that he should bear such a name. The complainer invari- ably forgets his blessings, and fails te remember that many things are going right. He is thinking only of the things that are going wrong, and us- ually they are things that have alrea- dy gone wrong. For in a place such as this institution, where only good people are supposed to be employed, it is true that sometimes things go wrong even when everybody is trying to make them go right. Yield not, I beseech you, to the temptation to complain. A small boy was told that he must write a nice note of sympathy to his grandmother upon the death of his grandfather. The follow{ng—mnuch blotted and sprawled—arrived: “Dear Gradma: What a pity about Gradpy! Please send me some more stamps. My bicycle is broken.

HOOK & CHICKEN — $$ eee Some Interesting Facts Revealed In An Old Obituary The following obituary notice copied from the February isue, 1847, of The “hristian Magazine of the South, of which Dr. Jas. Boyce, then pastor of New Hope, Fairfield County, was edi- tor will be of some interest to those who are endeavoring to find the truth concerning the birth place of Pres- ident Andrew Jackson. The obituary was written by Rev. Laughlin Mc- Donald, at that time pastor of Union Church, in Chester County, ard Tirzah, in York County. It is as fol- lows: “Departed this life on the 30th of July, 1864, in the Waxhaws settle ment, Lanchester District, S. C., Mrs. Agnes Barton, in the 89th year of her age.” The subject of this notice was born in the county of Antrim, Ireland about 1757. Hr father emigrated to America when she was in her twelfth year, anJ settled in the vicinity ofthe Waxhaws, a few years after which she was mar- ried to Mr Barton. During the former period of | he Revolution she, with her husband by trade, went to Charleston and settled in the suburbs of the city. It was dur- ing her settlement in that city that Mrs. Jackson, the mother of the Hero of New Orleans, went on her errand of mercy to relieve the sufferings of the prisoners then incarcerated in that city. In consequence of the fatigue and hardships endured in making the journey from Lanchester to that place as is supposed, she was taken sick shortly after her arrival in the city. And although a stranger in a strange land, yet, in Mrs Barton’s’ heart, she found a welcome, and in her house, a home. Night after night she did sit by the sick bed of the stranger, min- istering to her wants, and soothing her scrrows with all the solitude of an Irish heart. And when she (Mrs Jackson) died, she closed her eyes; and, although in humble circumstances in the world, yet, she furnished frora her c-wn wardrobe the clothes in which the mcther of the immortal Jackson was committed to the dust. Her hus- band, being a carpenter, furnished the coffin, and they two, with assistance, perhaps, of a few others, performed the mournful rite of sepulture to the mother of a then future President of this great Nation. And although there be no rude stone to point the stranger to the hillock where her ashes. rest, she has left to posterity the example of her deeds of valor and of mercy. These are her monuments —and their continued remembrance sha!l be the everlasting memorial of her greatness. After the close of the war Mrs. Barton returned to the Waxhaws. Here her husband died and here she spent some 40 years of widowhoud, veloved of all who knew her. Her ‘amily all married and left her aid for the last 15 years she lived with her son-in-law, Thos. Faulkner, second cousin to Gen. Jackson. She was regarded by those who knew her best as eminently pious—a member of the Associate Reformed Church. Being too infirm to attend church for some years previous to her death, she had her pastor to visit and preach to her on her birthday. Char- fotte Obsever P. O.

BARIUM SPRINGS, N. C., AUGUST, 1929 B A™ BI “ THIRD INSTALLMENT “BLOODY MOON ” A Big Serial Of Blood Curdling Events Sponsored By The Messenger SYNOPSIS OF PRECEDING CHAPTERS Jerry Simpson, owner of small sporting goods store in Birmingham, prominent in Boy Scout work, makes speech in Calabash Club demanding expulsion of Buck Gray, a notorious blind tiger operator. The next day Simpson is beaten up in his store by three thugs, is rescued by his clerk Julia Jimmerson. Jerry is sent to Atlanta for treatment, Julia going along. In a few days he returns with no mark of recent fight on his face, he commences a more vigorous campaign against Gray, helped by his friends, Jim Sassafrass and a boy, Peckerwood Bones. When the Grand Jury meets, Jerry is sent for, and then his friends find out the message is a fake, its purpose to get Simpson alone in the warehouse used by the Jury. Sassafrass and Peckerwood hurry across jots, get to the rendezvous a- head of Jerry and have a battle royal with four thugs and have the situation in hand by the time Jerry arrives. They find that the plan was te kill Jerry and dump his body into a car of sulphurie acid bound for Denver, Colorado. They plan a different schedule for the day which includes all Gray’s crowd even te the Peanut eating policeman. The line-up is as follows. J. Simpson Buck Gray J. Jimmerson Slope Ellison Jim Sassafras Puddier Bill Peckerwood Bones Pug Mullins Dr. Davidson Tangle Doyle Buizer Mike Policeman, fatten- ed on peanuts. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Vs The face of the policeman was a study, his mouth fell open, his face took on the color of dirty putty, his lips turned blue and his expression of terror was really pitiful. He could- n’t seem to get it into his head what the trouble was, but he wanted to do what Jerry told him, and seemed only fearful of making a mistake in his instructions. “Now Jim you see to it that the driver gets us to the right place. Back this wagon up te this box car on the team track just two blocks down and when in right position let me know. Peckerwood and I will look after the comfort of the passengers and you look after the driver.Ali sent, lets go.” Jim gave his orders to the driver who returned a cheerful Aye Aye Sir, he evidently not having recieved his instructions further than to be at the warehouse at a certain than ten minutes the van was backed up to a box car, Jerry broke the seal and swung the door open. The car was loaded with a mix let of cast iron pipe and long concrete bars. They quickly lifted the entire load including the policeman after divesting him of his weapons, but leaving his hands un- tied. The car door was then swung shut and fastened. “Now just a minute” said Jerry run- ning into the agents office where he called out a young man and talked with him very earnestly and rapidly. At the conclusion of this the young man slapped his leg and said, “Leave it to me,” the train makes up in thirty min- utes and I know every member of the train crew. Through to Chattanooga oh mommer.” Still chuckling he took the sealing iron and started out to re- seal the car as the van with Jerry a- gain in it, drove off. “Here is where the ticklish part be- gins”, began Jim after telling the} driver to drive to the rear of Gray's piace, “Who is going to be the Mes- senger to tell Buck to come out and view the remains? It can’t be you, it can’t be me because he knows me too, and it won’t do to trust the driver, now will it?” “I guess you’re right” said Simpson. “So there Peckerwood” “I believe he can deliver the goods anyway, how about it Bud?” “Tell me more about it and then I'll tell you, if its any more freight haul- ing I’m your huckieberry.” “It’s just this, Buck Gray thinks I’m/| in this van dead or knocked out, but for fear he might be doublecrossed he wants to see me with his own eyes.” Our plan is to let him climb up in the wagon then poke this in his face and drive off with him to the club house basement.” We’ll put these handcuffs we borrowed from the fat cop on him and park him in the basement until tonight when there will be the last act of this business. We want you to sliv in to Buck and teil him that a moving van is out here and the driver says he wants to see him.” Peckerwood nodded his head and as soon as the van stopped and backed up to the low platform in the rear he bounded out and darted into the store. The first room was nearly deserted, seeing no one that he thought was Gray he asked the bartender time. In less | is nothing to it but send| he might find him. “Just inside that door’ said this man indicating the pool |room. The boy went in and found two |men seated talking. The men were talking in low tones but very earnest- ly. Bones addressed the one nearest him “A man out here driving a furnit- ure yan says he wants to see you” “He acts like he was in a hurry too”. A startled look passed between the two men. “Why doesn’t he come in here to see me instead?” asked Gray. "Search me” rejoined the boy. His horses might be scary, or he might be the one that owes you, or he might have to watch his load, or he might be in a hurry, or he might be like me don’t give a dad |blame. If you don’t mind taking an old mans advice why don’t you go out and ask him yourself, you see this is my busy day with pay jobs.” And with that Peckerwood made as if to go. | The second man laughed and stood up, a rather mishappen individual “He | wins, Buck, don’t ever try to out talk a redhead” it seems kind of queer his sending a message, but it may be al- right. Take a chance for once. Gray turned angrily on him “Stow that chatter about taking a chance, if |I choose to pay another way for the /chance taking. Suppose you take a |look around and see.” “Not without you Big Boy,” he walk ed close up to Gray and his eyes fair- ly glittered with hate, You accused me ,one time of doublecrossing you, I said lthen that the next time, you would |share in the glory and other things | if you haven't gotten entirely yellow. Now we'll go together and we'll go right now before you make the mis- take of making some other crack a- bout me.” Outside in the van both Jerry and Jim were fast getting desperate, the delay could mean but one thing, that Grey had found out the miscarriage of his plan and was on his guard or planning some further plot to get Jerry. They were just on the point of bolting when both Gray and Ellison came to the back of the van. Jerry had planned to be lying down as if un- conscious to enable Jim to get Gray off his guard but the two men coming ‘together meant a quick change of his plan. “Keep your eye on the driver,” whis- pered Jerry, “and I will try to hold both of them.” As luck would have it, both men came to the back of the wagon a- breast and before they knew what had ; happened they were facing not a dead | Jerry but a very much alive and men- |acing Jerry with a gun in each hand. “Get inside and make it snappy,” he growled in a low tone. Ellison scrambled in with alacrity, one could almost say with pleasure. Gray hung | back for an instant and started to look |over his shoulder, but in that same in- stant felt the pressure of the gun a- gainst his stomach and Jerry’s warn- ing, “If I should pull the trigger it wouldn’t make much noise, and we could jerk you in without any trouble, I might be wanting an excuse to do just that, so don’t tempt me. It seems a pity any way to let that acid tank car go away empty.” One look in Jerry’s eyes and Gray climbed even faster than Ellison. The minute he was in, the gate came up and shut as by magic, even Jim and Jerry being surprised until Pecker- wood’s beeming freckles appeared over the top of the gate. “All right one more stop and w2 are through,” said Jim to the driver, “give us a quick trip to the rear en- trance to the Calabash Club and while the driver worked his team to a fast | trot, he slipped the handcuffs on Buck |Gray and removed from both men theiz guns. Gray seemed dazed but Ellison evinced a lively interest in ‘everything and tried to engage the |two friends in conversation. “Is this a lynching, luncheon, or what?” he asked Jerry. “I’m not ;much surprised after your pulling jsuch a miracle come back nor can I j blame you either, but I always did jhave a great curiosity.” “Well I had thought of inviting our \friend here to a last party in a club that has recently kicked him out,” re- plied Jerry. “I didn’t intend but one guest but since you would come, I sup- pose I will have to include you. I will try to explain to you later just what is required of you guests. | The noise of the van crossing the car tracks and bouncing along under the increased speed of the horses |stopped any further conversation. | Before long they swung into the alley | leading to the rear of the club building jand the driver very cleverly swung |the team around and backed up to the basement door. This door was open and without any todo the two pris- oners were taken through and locked in two separate storage rooms. Before locking Ellison’s door Jerry talked where to him in low tones for a few minutes, | U Ellison uttered once or twice an exciamatian of amusement, and seem- ed highly pleased after being locked in. Buck was left with his hands fastened in front of him and seemed anything but pleased. He had said no word since his capture but his eyes were taking in everything and if looks could have killed both Jerry and Jim would have quickly died when Jim yelled to the driver, “That’s al! old man, you know where to call for your pay”. We will move forward a few hours to the monthly supper of the Calabash club, just a month later than the one with which this account opens, the supper has been served and cigars are being lighted and everybody is moving back their chairs to face the speakers stand for the program of the evening to start. Rarely did the membership know just what the program would he, this element of surprise making all the more delightful the various en- tertainments. Tonight the stage at the end of the hall had been roped off and a pair of very young and very small boxers gave a fast exhibition. The clean limbed little fellows not more than eight years old were splen- didly matched and their exhibition though short was thoroughly enjoyed. At the conclusion of this bout the member in charge of the program stood up and made the following an- nouncement: “Gentlemen, the program as planned for tonight would have giv- en youanhours entertainment on a par with our curtain raiser. Cireum- stances beyond our control necessi- tated our lopping of the star per- formance, I would be compelled to apologize to the club were it not for a peculiar set of circumstnaces. A tellow member at a late hour offered to compiete my program if the club were willing. He can state his pro- position much clearer than I so 1 yield the floor to our much abused triend Jerry Simpson.” There was 2 gust of applause, from the crowded room but it was cut short by the leaning forward and hitching up o: chairs for a view of the unusual pro- ceedings. Not all present were id- mirers of Simpson, his whirl-wind tactics of the previous meeting had met with a reaction and for a time sentiment swung rather against him but there was no lack of interest in the proceedings tonight for whether friend or foe everyone felt that some- thing very interesting was going to take place. Jerry mounted the platform and commenced to speak, first in rather a low tone, almost apologetic, but as he warmed to his subject his manner became more forceful. The members many of them getting their first close up view of him since the turbulent afterm:fch of the former meeting, watch him with more than usual intentness. They yoted a _ subtle change in his manner, even his man- ner ct walking was different. Where before he had swung his legs and seemed to let them pull him along, now his body seemed to move for- wards on springs, his feet pushed him along with force. Where before there was tolerant good humor, now there was force, an intentness, that gave him an air not so much of defiance, but of disregard of obstacles. The club noted these things subconsciously while they listened to his words. “Gentlemen, one month ago a rather impassioned tirade was made by me against a fellowmember, I made a} demand for his expulsion, the club possibly too hastily recommended his dismissal. T he directors ratified this action and this member was de- prived of his membership. During the thirty days following this many things have happened, some things might bring us to believe that possibly even the directors acted hastily.” “Very few of you do not know what happened within twenty-four hours of our last meeting. Three hired thugs directed by this expelled member and under protection of an officer of the law, assaulted me in my place} of business and but for the interven- tion of a girl would no doubt have re- moved me from membership in this or any other club. While this was well known in many quarters nothing was done, and when I recovered and reopened my place of business two other attempts were made to re- peat the assault. “Pardon me, friends, I am not trying to establish any- body’s guilt in these statements, be- fore this meeting is over I hope to demonstrate very clearly exactly my meaning.” “Being once burned, like the chiid I kept away from that danger again. I took steps to prevent another attack and continued my plan to bring this open lawbreaker to justice. You all know what evidence was presented you know the action of the grand jury in turning this man and his gang loose but what you don’t know is that this day, a plot was laid to do away with me and even dispose of my body in a peculiarly fiendish way but ir such an open daring way that it does make one pause and wonder if our M™Y’M BE 8 8 BN@BB ———— eee eee PAGE THREE —_— -——_—— the attack meant for me.

You have scales here to that he is not at a disadvantage, a second, friendly to him will be pro- vided him and the club can furnish the cfficials from the membership The terms of the contest being that the loser leave this town within one day, forever.” Jerry stepped down but the storm of applause and approval that marked the end of his proposal was even greater than that of a month back, all the members knew Gray's ath- letic prowess, his proficiency in all forms of sport and his especial skill with the gloves. His superior weight and reach also gave him a decided ad- vantage over Jerry. Jerry the jolly, rather clumsy athlete, who never reached even the second eliminations in tennis, a seldom used scrub in col- lege football, offering to give the |brilliant Gray a handicap of weight of everything in his intense desire to carry his point, and rid the town of this scum.

A hasty rearranging of chairs and a buzz of excited talk while preparations was made for the contest. A referree was chosen, and the same timekeeper that officiated in the midget bout were placed up front and then the crowd settled down for the fun. The first ones to come in were Buck Gray and his second none other than Slope Ellison. He was taken to the the scales. His weight was noted 206 pounds and his enormous hairy chest and bulging muscles ‘ ed a sinking of the heart for the friends of Jerry. Buck appeared to have com- pletely recovered his spirits and al- most danced to his seat. | A few minutes later Jerry entered accompanied by Jim Sassafras. Jerry looked more than sides the gigantic Buck but when he cast aside his robe and stepped on the scales a murmur of pleased sur- prise greeted him. His weight was noted as 194 and his muscles, while ‘lacking the bulkiness of Grays looked much more efficient than any acquain- tance of Jerry’s would have look 4 for. The few preliminaries were soon over, the referree announced the con- dition which were agreed to by both principles and seconds.

Jerry didn’t seem to get out of the way quick enough, and Dick landed a blow ithet could be plainly heard to the back of the room but still Jerry did not fall back. Again they clashed, and the crowd noted with surprise thal Grays nose was streaming blood. .\ few more passes and the gong sound- ed for the end of the round.

It may explain why a parent |_ves the wayward child more intensy ly than the good child that never caus- es a pang. A change was taking place now how ever, Jerrys friends and mere acquain- tance were experiencin a feeling for him that was new. He was no longer the casygoing, sometimes imposed or, club member, that nobody took very seriously, but the embodiment of an idea. However they might in their minds compromise with right, and to this extent give their sympathies to the things that the other represented, for the time being, Simpson with his straight body was their David battling for a holy cause against dark Goliath of Evil. They couldn’t help but feel the overwhelming odds against their champion but there was something in the very awkwardness of Jerry that appealed, as if his helplessness waz guarentee of his faith in his cause. While they knew that the fight coulu end cnly one way, except for a miracle they somehow looked for that miracle. Jerry, gasping for breath at the end of the fourth round, felt the chance and heard the word of encouagement, and it was like a tonic to him. Gray saw nothing and heard nothing but Jerry, so maddened was the man from having Jerry always stay keyond his lreach that if he could at that mom- ent have knocked Jerry down it is doubtful if he could have refrained from stamping his adversary in the face. The fast pace he had forced the fight had not made him suffer, and his econd wind, made him appear more fit | now than at the end of the first round. At the gong for the fifth Gray |sprang to meet Jerry and bored in with lowered head and both hanbs working like pistons for the body. Jerrys guard was lowered for an in- stant and like lightning an overhand |crom Gray caught him in the face stag |gering him for an instant. Knocking |against the ropes Simpson fell into a clinch, fighting hard to clear his head. If Grav had sprung away Jerry would | almost have fallen, and he could mea- _ [sure him for a knockout, but he was iso intent on getting in a weakning |body blow in the breakaway, that he really held Jerry up for those few precious seconds for his head to clear. }And when the break finally came he faced Jerry still able to evade his sledgehammer blow. | Infuriated, Gray again charged with lhead lowered and hands working for ithe stomach, and again that terrible overhand for the face but this time in- stead of Jerry’s guard lowering to the stomach his right hand started in a circle from the level of the shoulder and behind and after making three | quarters of the circle landed full on Gray’s lowered face just a split second before his overhand was due to ar- rive in Jerrys face. Gray straightened up with a slap |his already tortured nose flattened to |his face. That the lick did not flatten him is a supreme tribute to the vital- ity of the man. While it did not floor him it forced his body backward with Jerry leaning toward him. Gray’s right foot left the floor as though to catch his balance but instead of return ing to the floor flew upward to land in a vicious kick in Jerrys stomach below: the Lelt. Cries of “foul foul” resound - ed through the hall and everyone was on their feet. The referree rushed in jbetween the two men and grabbed Jerry declaring him the winner on a foul, but Jerry drew back. His face was deathly pale but he held his hand for silence. “Gentlemen the fight has been a- warded me on a foul but we didn't start this as a fight for points, this is a fight to a decision, Mr timekeeper; how much time remains in this round?” “One minute,” the timekeep- er replied. “So with your permission we will proceed”. “Come on you coward an: take your dose.” I knew you couldn't fight clean but I wanted these men to know it.” The ring was cleared and a- gain the two men went at it with Jerry still talking. “There were some people that might think you were game, so | wanted to prove to them, that you were what I know you to be, a coward- ly, treacherous dirty hunk of beef that keeps all your red blood in your nose, the rest of it is yellow. You have had four and a half rounds of this fight to show off in, now this is my half, so help yourself to these.” While this monologue was going on Jerry had changed his entire style of fighting, left foot forward, all trace of any awkwardness gone, like a sword flashing in the hands of a master his body flashed inside Grays guard, and a tattoo against Grays body that near- (Continued to Page Four) PaGE FOUR BAR ! “Bloody Moon” (Continued from Page Three) | Be lah Aux. 6.00 7 ap _. nom = soi - Sue | meeuiinn Church 20.00 ACK yefore 1 couk counter ane t ‘ . i oi ha es sl 25.00 gain boring in, this time wide open Central Stocks Creek Chur 10.00 as if inviting a charge, Grays big fists | yang ast 135.00 swung in but first one and then the| — —— 475 other were caught on Simpson’s gloves | — Park Church 155.00 and flung back with such force that} Newells Church 7.50 for an instant Grays arms were ex-| Norwood Church 3.00 +} ie of him | Paw Creek Church 20.00 tended on each side o d : ee es In that instant Jerry's right startec Philadelphia Church 400 from the hip, gathering speed and Philadelphia Aux. 6.50 force as it went, straight for the but Pineville Church 17.45 ton.

ONE. “Slow Down,” | Mr. Berry Ad- vises Carolinians “Slow down and lay some- thing aside for a rainy day,” | Nathan O’Berry State Trea- surer, warned the people of | North Carolina in an address before the Goldsboro Ki- wanis club. The treasurer asserted that there is $67,000,000 less in banks of North Carolina no« than a year ago and that the State will collect $500,000 less in income tax this year than ayear ago. The people of the State have not a share in the profits of the greatest in- dustries of today as they once had, he said. Prosperity has come to the United States and incidentally affected North Carolina in four great cycles,” he said. “Once the lumber industry was the greatest in the United States. At that time millions of dollars came to North Carolina and more than anything else lumber paid for the schooling of her children. “Then came steel. How recently, I can illustrate by the fact that when I worked as a youth on a railroad now incorporated in the Atlantic Coast Line, steel rails for that road were brought from England but stee! making in this country was confined to bridges. There are steel cars in- stead of wooden ones now and even steel tables instead of wood in the cars. “North Carolina does not make steel and every time steel was used it cut into her lumber industry. “Then developed the cycle of oil, with all its many by-products. North Carolina does not produce oil. But pays out tremendous sums_ yearly for gasoline and oil just as the people for the state send money out for steel. “The fourth cycle is that of the au- tomcbile. An industry now greater than the steel business. A few auto- mobiles are assembled in the state at Charlotte but none are made in North Carolina and again money goes out of the state. “So much money goes out that if the government’s estimate of this year’s cotton crop is correct that crop will not bring enough to pay for the automobiles bought in the state. And what the people of the state pay for oil may be judged by the fact that the State now collects $1,150,000 in tax cn gasoline, “What is the next cycle going to he and what will it do in the way of pro- viding employment for millions? The whole trend nowadays is mass pro- juction and vfiless employment is given to millions by the next industry what is going to happen to the bright young men and women?” “We are living too fast,” he added, “everybody is mad about speculation. I don’t know where we are going to land. But as a state, a town and as individuals we ought to economize. We cught to lay by for a rainy day.” P. O. H.- MAYBE, MAYBE The Albemarle Press savs: “News- apers which are in the } f ask- ing folks through their col.mns to come in and pay up their subscrip- tions might increase their collections by following out the plan adopted by the Mexican newspapers. When the subscription collectors fail the editor puts in a notice stating: “Senor Blank will please have the kindness to call at this office and pay the money which he owes this newspaper.” If this does not get results, they print his picture. Still, this may be another reason why they are always fighting in Mexico.—Mooresville Enterprise. Ss 2 U8 So “See 6.8 8B Rea Barium Springs, N.

Fall Fancies | As this is being written, we are getting ready for school to commence, and then before we know it, all the schools in the country will be starting up, and by the time this paper is in your hands there will be lots of other sounds in the also, and prominent among these sounds will be the thump of the toes against footballs. All of which means that the football season for 1929 will have commenced. are already talking this up, and the usual big games will take . What we are most concerned in here, however, is the High School and Midget games. Barium this year will get out three distinct teams. The varsity, composed of boys from 130 pounds up. The 120- pounc team, composed of boys weighing between a hundred pounds and a hundred | and twenty. And then the hundred pounders, weighing from one hundred pounds down to nothing. Our schedule for the big team is already complete. It starts out with a game with Winston-Salem High School. The following week, with Lexing- ton High School; then Concord; then Statesville; then North Wilkesboro; then China Grove; then Davidson High School; then the Winston Methodist Orphanage; then Harmony Farm Life; then Belmont Abbey, and then Lees McRae Institute. While all of this is taking place, the 120-pounders will be making life livable or miserable for Asheville; Mt. Airy; and Belmont Abbey light weights, and others. The 100-pounders already have games scheduled with the Winston Methodist Orphanage; Rock Hill, South Carolina; Statesville; Troutman; and Mooresville; and the winner of the Northern Group of 100- pounders. All in all, it looks like it is going to be a glorious fall. In writing this editorial we might think of a lot of things to write about that would cause you to wrinkle your brow and worry, but we want to wash the wrinkles off one time by talking about something all can enjoy. Look out for Barium Springs teams! If you can get to see them, by all means, do so. If not, keep track of their record in the newspapers. ‘ , i coors .

We started marching to the sta- the at ten p o’elock and while the children getting on the train they were loading the refreshment car up with eats. The train started Sor Montreat at six thirty and got there at ten o’ciock. After we passed Statesville the boys started selling ‘andy and ice cream. Almost all the children had a little money to spend. And you should | have seen us eat candy and ice cream. }At nine o’clock they came around with our lunch, we each had a paper bag with a piece of fried chicken, ham and relish sandwiches, boiled gg, pickles, and tea cake. While we ‘inished that our matrons provided is with wet towels to clean ourselves up, so we would not scare the people when we got off of the train. We ‘ertainly do thank Mr. Johnston, Lackey, and the kitchen girls for giving us such a nice lunck. When we arrived at Black Mountain . number of cars were there to take us up. Several of our children went on a trip up Look-out Mountain. It cer- tainly was tiresome but we enjoyed it very much. Some went in swimming and boat riding. Most of our crowd went on top of the beautiful new hotel. They started rounding up the thildren at three e’clock and at four o’clock all were down at Black Mt. ready to start. We all enjoyed the beautiful scenery along the road while we were ‘oming down the mountain, but when they came around with supper all were good and ready for it. We had the same kind of good things to eat for supper that we had for lunch, and you bet we did not waste any. We arrived at Barium at seven thirty a tired but happy bunch, with lots of dirt to get off before we could go to bed. Some of our teachers are already here to start work again.

People Rough necks Buck Gray Slope Ellison Puddler Bill Pug Mullins Tangle Doyle Bruizer Mike Jerry Simpson Julia Jimmerson Jim Sassafrass Peckerwood Bones Doctor Davidson NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. Our story has run away with us, and it is necessary for us to go back a few hours to catch up the other threads. : We left Julia Jimmerson, several hours back at the store while Pecker- wood and Jim Sassafrass set out to the rescue of Simpson. Julia was most alarmed, she first thought of closing the store and fly- ing after the man and boy. She thought again of appealing to the po- lice, but was afraid to do that. There were some members of the force friendly with Gray she knew. Finally the thought occurred to her that possibly she could help more by staying right where she was. To be the one stationary member of the crew. To be the one person that could be reached by phone might place her in a better position to help, than anything she could do. This decision to stand by was not easily made, and but for the fact that the duties of the store claimed het attention, she might have weakened and gone out in search of news. Two o’clock passed, then three, and then about four the phone rang. Julia left a customer so abruptly to answer the phone that he no doubt thought it had something to do with a date, the more so on hearing Julia’s exclamation of relief on recognizing Peckerwood’s voice. “Everything is Jake,” ran Pecker- wood’s message. “Big Jim and a brick ran interference for the boss, and everybody but the works is out. The Boss is saving him for something at the club tonight.” Before Julia could ask any of the dozen questions in her mind, the boy hung up, no doubt perfectly satisfied that he had told everything necessary. Julia, vastly relieved over this brief message, carried on with her work until closing time. Just as she was concluding her final sale, a man walked into the store and without apparently noticing her, walked back and seated himself in the cffice. Hurrying to the office herself as svon as she could, she was astonished to see that the man was none other than Simpson, looking as unruffled and calm as if he had not been through a tough afternoon. “How have you been Julia dear since I saw you last?” “Julia, dear,” she hadn’t heard that in a month, not since before Jerry went to Atlanta. She ran to him and looked at his face searchingly. “Jerry. as good as ever, and not a scar. When did you get in?” “Just a few minutes ago. Those At- lanta doctors certainly do know their stuff. The only thing they insisted on that didn’t suit me, was to order absolute quiet. Why they would not even allow me a newspaper. as | tell me all about yourself and what | became of John?” i “it is a long story,” began Julia, “end I can only give you the bare out- lines now, for something is in the air right now, that is worrying me. | We must go to the Club and start | now and on the way I will tell you.” At the time these events took | place, motor taxies were neither | plentiful nor speedy, and during the | tirae it took to secure one and to ar- | rive at the Club house, Julia informed | Jerry of the events to date. | “Qn the night that we arrived in | Atlanta I sent a wire to your brother John in Pittsburgh. He arrived a} day later while you were in a semi- conscious state from the ether you had been given.” | “Until I saw your brother I didn’t | know that he was your twin and so|maybe we will tell you the rest. \. INSTALLMENT MOON ” Blood Curdling much like you that even I could not even tell you apart. I never saw a! man so intensely worked up over any- thing as he was over your plight.” “He talked to me about the things that led up to your condition and asked me at least a thousand ques- tions about people and places in Bir- mingham, and then after a long} phone conversation with Pittsburgh, he dumfounded me by stating that he was going to Birmingham and that he was going to impersonate you and finish what you had started.” “I told him that would be impos- | sible, that it would be dangerous, that the whiskey crowd was too strong. He wouldn’t listen but stopped my arguments once by turning on me as if he were mad at me. ‘Listen, girl,’ he said, ‘I have wanted all my life to do something for Jerry, always it has been Jerry doing something for me. Right now he is up against gangsters, something he knows lit- tle about, and has nothing to fight with but his courage. All our lives Jerry has cultivated the kindly traits, ; everybody’s friend. On the con- I have cultivated the purely ysical side, I have been the athlete. { have thought more about punching a man’s face than about reaching his heart, to make men fear me rather than to love me. Don’t try to stop me in this one chance to do a kind deed to the person most dear to me. And don’t forget I’m going to enjoy this.” “Well, John came to Birmingham and under my coaching has passed as you, he has had his fights and has won. Tonight at the Calabash club something is going to happen, that is going to be a climax I don’t know what.” During this recital Jerry listened in amazement, only at the end did he begin to ask questions. “Do you mean that John took my place everywhere? Did he teach my Sunday School Class? Did he attend Church? Did he take part in the prayer services?” Upon all these questions being an- swered in the affirmative his joy knew no bounds. In fact Jerry seemed to put more importance in that than in the recital of John’s repeated tri- umphs over Gray and his gang. By this time the taxie had arrived at the club, and it was only then that Jerry remembered that the hour for the meeting had been moved up. Fearing they would be too late they rushed into the club just as the fight ended and as John, supposedly Jerry, was making his apology to the club. The advent of the real Jerry created as much of a sensation as the pre- ceding events had. As soon as quiet was restored and Jerry and John had exchangeed greetings, Jerry took the speakers stand. “Gentleman, if you will excuse the fighters until they can change into other clothes, some into their going away garments I will, during this in- termission, make a few explana- tions.” As soon as John had walked out and the still groggy Gray had been carried out Jerry began. “Friends, the man who has taken my place and name since my mis- fortune is my twin brother, John. When he had heard of my plight some thirty days ago, he hastened to me, then gave up his business in Pitts- burgh to come and straighten out my affairs in my name. Until an hour ago I knew nothing of this. All of you know something of the dangers he has encountered but possibly I am the enly one that will know just what this has cost my brother in other ways. “We have seen very little of each other since our college days, our ways have seemed to grow apart. He call- ed me a dreamer, giving my life away to others foolishly. He thought he was a hard boiled materialist, a ten minute egg.” “Gentlemen, I will let you be the judge of the kind of man he really is. “He has endangered his own busi- ness, been in hourly danger of his life, brought to a successful conclusion a fight that I bungled at the start and now he wants to end it up by apologizing.” There is no telling how much longer Jerry might have talked, but the club members rallied round him shaking his hand, slapping his back and when John came in, the meeting turned in- to a regular Jubilee. There is a whole lot more to this storv. Why Jerry was so happy over John’s teaching Sunday School and why John always called Julia—“Miss Jimmerson; but we can’t tell all this now.

Everybody who was fortunate to go to the circus Saturday enjoyed it and we thank the people who let us in. We have been enjoying the Sunday school children of our size and age who came to visit us and to see how we keep house. We thank the picnic crowd who brought us some candy. We are all looking forward to the football games that are going to be played here for we can go and see them. Mrs. Judith Bowman Newsome of Johnson City, Tennessee, a former Barium girl, visited us for a few days. We children enjoyed playing with her little baby, Jean. She is a fine baby and liked to play with us too. We are so glad when we can go to the library every week since we cou'd not go during the summer. No more news for this time.

H.——- OF LAUGHTER THE TONIC A Resolution adopted some _ time ago by a local education conference in England, recommending that a course in laughter be introduced into the curriculum of the schools, is of more importance and _ significance than first thought would indicate. The too great soberness and sedateness of Britons, as pointed out in a state- ment by English school authorities, is not so peculiar to that race. It may be expanded to include men and women of all races. For few are the people who do not take themselves and life too seriously. There is no tonic like laughter. Learned physicians have agreed on this. More digestive ills result from eating while in a too serious or a des- pondent or an angry mood than from any other cause, they tell us. Far better work is done by a directorial board which meets in geniality and friendliness than that done by iras- cible, fuming autocrats. Laughter relaxes. It frees the body and the brain from that tenseness which comes from too continuous and effortful thought. And when the brain is relaxed, it is susceptive. Ideas come more easily, and are more easily discarded if worthless, when one is able to see them genially and analy- tically and to dismiss the useless with a smile. Many of the world's most revolutionizing ideas come in leisure moments, when the body and the mind are completely at ease; al- most detached from surrounding things. That is the secret of laughter’s desirability. It lifts the man or the woman, for a time, above too press- ing cares. Proper perspective comes with humor. Bugaboos dwindle. Laughter is the tonic of the gods. Fortunate is the person who has learned to drink deeply thereof.

St. Cecilia Music Club Organizes Monday night, September 28rd, St. Cecilia Musie Club met in the studio at Miss Greene’s apartment to re- organize, and make plans for the ‘oming year. Scarcely had we assembled when a great presidential campaign ensued, but, however, was quieted with the arrival of Miss Greene, at which time Edna McMillan, our former president gained the attention of the club and opened the meeting with nominations or a new. president. The result brought to the front Nellie Mark as president. At this time she took charge by delivering a speech which the club enjoyed very much. Under ver charge the following officers were elected: Edna MecMillan—Vice President. Matoaka Torrence—Sec. and Treas. Katherine Kerley—News Reporter. Alice Craig, Lucile Long, Mildred Morrow, Martha Beattie were put on the program committee. Following this a critic tor our club was discussed and practically decided upon tho’ a final decision has not been made yet as the matter was left in the hands of Miss Greene. We feel that she knows more about who should undertake that, than anyone else. “Members who failed to get club pins last year,” announced Miss Greene, “can cider theirs /through Edna McMillan, who had charge of that last year.” Our next meeting will be held, Saturday, September 28th, at which time a program will be presented. The place of meeting has not yet been decided upon however, we are hoping that we can use the sitting room on the second floor of Rumple Hall.. Miss Greene urges the program ‘committee to introduce more variety in our programs and make them more original. Things look bright for the future and we are hoping to accomplish a great deal. Afternoon Tea St. Cecelia Music Club met Satur- dav, September 28th, in Rumple Hall Sitting Room. The _ following pro- gram was presented: Roll Call and Minutes. “Love Dreams”—A. L.

We have made a study of this covering a number of years. We find that at one time, whiskey was quite a large factor in bringing about the conditions that Sa necessitated sending children to an institution. Of course, wars have had their effect, but not anything like to the extent that one might sup- pose. Influenze had been a very large primary cause. The automobile has | added its toll, and a very large one. However, of recent years another factor has entered, and this has me brought to our attention by the increasingly large number of applicat ! from so-called well-to-do families. Families that have been “good livers,” | and whose application to an orphanage for relief comes as a distinct surprise | and shock, bfore investigations are made. The thing that brings a good many of these applications to us in North Carolina is the installment plan of buying and living. We suppose North Carolina is one of the states most effected by this, because her good roads and high powered automobile salesmen seem to be irresistible. Everybody must have a car, it seems, and of course, ninety per cent, at least, are paid for on the installment plan. These things have had two effects on the Or- phanage. First, as to the matter of children coming here, and we can best illustrate that by giving a concrete example. There wax a certain family, the father a good provider and earning something like $3,000.00 a year, 2{ splendid wife, and five delightful children. They lived in a rented house, had | an automobile, radio and all the other so-called necessities. The father’s in- come was sufficient to keep up the installments on all this and still provide a good living. Not enough surplus, however to carry any insurance. One night in | an automobile wreck the father was killed. The mother then realized that the only thing the family possessed was the clothes on their back. The furn- iture, and even the groceries were not paid for. Instead of being a happy, well provided family, in a twinkling of an eye it was changed to one in abso- | lute need of the most fundamental things. This was an emergency case and the children are now in an orphanage. We are mentioning this because it | is typical. Before installment buying came in, even the poor families owned | something. Second finances. It seems to be human trait that when we commence to use our credit, we will use it up to the hilt, and when we prepare our bud- get, we are very optimistic and usually plan that budget on a full week’s pay, and it is so easy to load this budget up with installment buying. This is all right until something happens to cut the full week down to four days, Say, or to in anyway cut a person’s income. Then we have to drop some- thing. When we try to drop an installment we find that it means losing | a very valuable possession. We have to drop something else, and the easiest thing to drop—in fact, the only thing it appears that we can drop as our | Church obligations. | In the recent slump in business conditions over a great part of North | Carolina, the cotton mill industry on short time, and decreased revenue in! so many other occupations, we have felt this most keenly at Barium Springs. The percentage of decrease in our receipts has not been in the same pro- | portion as the decrease in earnings of the people contributing. The contri- | butions have almost disappeared in some instances. This is a condition that | we face. The same cause that apparently adds to the calls on the Orphanage ! is at the same time materially decreasing revenue. What can we do about | it? ion } There is an idea suggested by a plan that is in operation in Florida. In order to help out some local institutions, the people in charge. conceived the | idea of placing barrels in the grocery stores, so that when a person came to | buy their day’s groveries, they would be reminded of the need of the helpless children in their neighborhood, and would put some food in this barrel. This plan worked out fine locally. We wonder if it could be possible for us to have on our check books or in our budgets, our orphanage, so that when we plan what has to be spent for installments and such, our obligations to this most necessary work could be placed at the top, so that it would receive the same consideration and regularity that our installments on the other things. Recently there was a picnic at Barium Springs. It was not from a large church, and the pastor we knew was in great distress because his sal- ary had not been paid for some time. There was at least five hundred dollars back salary due him, and he was in great distress. He didn’t blame his con- gregation. He felt that they were doing the best they could, and yet there were forty-two automobiles owned by the picnic crowd that day. Can any- one take a pencil and make sense out of that picture?

C., October, 1929 IS THE WORLD GROWING WORSE? HERE are so many lines in the examination of this question that it seems difficult to answer or no. If we examine roads, houses, means of transportation, the yes people live in their homes, to feod and dress, school and Church way as buildings, books, magazines, and pa- pers, answer would be that the world net growing worse than ii used to be. Hf the financial condition s considered, the world is improvng all the time. If geographic, race, national, contacts are thought of, the world is closer together than ever be- fore. If one thinks of trade in the world of commerce, he finds that the products of the world become the possession of smallest localities. The fruits of the islands, of Florida, Cali- ‘ornia, and other parts of the world are distributed over the globe. The thought of the world becomes the thought of the individual. The speech and song of the artists of the world are heard over the radio in the hum- blest homes. “There is nothing cov- red that shall not be revealed; and hid that shall! not be known” (Matt. 10:26). This is an age of revelation. The secrets of nature, and the secrets of man are being disclosed more and more as man advances in the know- ledge of nature and mankind. “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant” (Psa, 25:14). God is better known than ever before in the history of the world. More Bibles are printed, and in more languages than any other book ever written; and nore people read the Bible than any other book. The question turns upon the moral, religious, and spiritual condition of society in its business, political social and church relations. Banks represent the business world, and they have im- proved the character of business. The Bank is the financial Chureh, teaching promptness in meeting financial oblig- ations, and cultivates the habit in »ther business relations. Whatever may be said about political condiions, they improve with the increase of ‘ducation. Citizens are not dominated by designing leaders as they were in days of the saloon, where plans were laid and candidates were selected. The friendly relations of denom- inations indicate improved spiritual conditions. The tendency is toward Christian unity in a larger and more brotherly spirit than known before since the Reformation. The Church places less emphasis upon Christ. The social world is coming more and more to a level in’ dress, be- havior, and thought of others. The distinctions that once separated men and women in society are passing as rapidly as the bad roads. The moral conditions improve with all other re- ligious and domestic conditions, and the difference as seen is the more public all human relations become in the progress of society. The world is not growing worse, unless the Bible the is and Christianity are failures. Ww. W. S. in The Christian Sun, ———P. O. H. KINDNESS IMPERISHABLE “Kind words arethe music of the world.” There have been, since the I poet wrote thaat line, occasions upon which it seemed music came only from the heavenly choir. But regardless of how greatly the nations have for- got God, or how long the heathen raged, there have always been indiv- iduals with the trait of kindliness. It is a shining thread running through the fabric of the ages. “Wherever there are human beings there is an opportunity for kindness,” said Sena- ca. “Charity vaunteth not itself and is kind.” The face of the earth is scarred with the marks of hate. The sign- posts of cruelty mark the highways and byways of the world. The trail of the plunderer drags all through history. But through all the trouble there has been that steady blooming violet of the virtues—kindness. Some forgotten traveler in a neg- lected part of the Kentucky moun- tains said he found the nearest thing he knew to a monument to kindness. An aged woman had died and her aged husband had, with great toil put this inscription upon her tomb- stone, a little slab of native rock: “She wuz allers kind to everboddy.” There is no possible improvement upon the tribute. To make the letters less crude would be to detract from the depth and sacrifice of the labor. To reform the spelling might make it appear conventional and detract from its sincerity. It all fitted her humble and appointed sphere, and no rhetoric could tell more. © Cruel Thrust! Conversation overheard at a resort hotel: “John, what in the world did you ever pick this place for? Why couldn’t we go where they had some music, at least?” “Now, dear, you can’t expect to |have a brass band everywhere you ; you know.” “Oh yes I can. |my finger.” litem f Fiat sein “A Friend is a person before whom qj may be sincere. * * * Before him I may think aloud.” * * * © © £0, i I've got one—-on + oe at e Se et =e ne x pm nim Barium Springs, N.

COLLIER Little Joe’s Church at Barium Springs Scene of Beautiful Wedding When Miss Margaret Adams Becomes the Bride of Mr. Robert Alvis Collier. Little Joe’s church at Barium Springs was the scene of a beautiful wedding, Wednesday evening, Sept. 4, at seven o'clock, when Miss Mar- garet Adams became the bride of Mr. Robert Alvis Collier. The ceremony which ineluded the impressive ring service, Was performed by Reverend William Carson Brown. The little church was unusually at- and white. The pulpit was grouped with handsome ferns and ivory bas- } . : . : ° } kets of clematis and white zinnias arranged against a background of stately pines and set with seven An_ Explanation Several people have called our attention to something that they stated didn’t seem to rhyme, and that was our editorial oy the front page of last month’s Messe nger, and the picture of the train which carried us to Montreat. Several have asked us how we could be so hard-up for the necessities of life and still he ably to afford an Exeursion Train to Montreat? This is so well understood OY US here, that we, { for moment, took it for yranted that if was equally as | known by our readers over the State. The Exeursion Tra to Mon- | treat cost the Orphanaye nothing. It is paid for by the tickets tractive with its decorations of green! that each individual, man, woman, ehild and infant hnus to ox | on it. We know twelve months ahead that we are goiny to har | this Excursion, and it is no great job for a child to save his a» | her nickels and dimes in order to aceumulate at the « l of the Sranched cathedral candlesticks in which white tapers burned softly. A large white wedding bell suspended from the center of the arch above the pulpit completed the effective setting for the nuntial event. A delightful musical program was given by Miss Isabel Jean Lamont, cousin of the bride, of Raeford, who presided at the piano; Miss Mary Thomas, and Mr. Dave Hall, of Bel- mont. Miss Lamont wore pink taffe- ta with shoulder bouquet of Colum- bia roses and Miss Thomas wore ege shell taffeta with shoulder bouquet of Briarcliff roses. Miss Thomas sang “Because”, Mr. Hall “All for You”, and together they sang “At Dawn- ing”. “The Bridal Chorus” from Lo- hengrin was used as the processional, Mendelssohn’s Wedding March form+s the recessional and “Love’s Dream’ was played softly during the cere- mony. Just prior to the entrance of the bridal party, while Miss Lamont play- ed “Hearts and Flowers”, the follow- ing guests-of-honor, special friends of the bride and groom, entered and were seated in the ribbons: Misses Kathleen Blue of Raeford, Frances MeKeithan of Carthage, Emily Thorn- ley ot Greenville, S. C., Julia Poag of Rock Hill, S. C., Melva Gullick of Bel- mont, Anne Faysoux Johnston and Katherine Kincaid, Mrs. John A. Scott, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Henry Edwards of Shelby, Mr. and Mrs Osear Atkins of Lillington; Messrs. Lawrance McNeill and W.lliam Cov- ington of Raeford, John Gilbert, Wil- liam Brierre, L. C. Steele, Flake Sher- rill and Major R. B. Patterson. To the first notes of the wedding march came the ushers, Messrs. Charles Collier of Emporia, Va., brother of the groom; Lamont Brown. brother of the bride; Robert Coving- ton ot Raeford; and Larry Skinner of Elizabeth City. The maid-of-honor, Miss Mary Brown, sister of the bride, was be- comingly dressed in green taffeta with tulle trimmings and carried a lovely colonial arrangement of Rose Hill roses and Gypsophila. The bride’s small cousin, Hugh Me- Lauchlin, of Raeford, was ring bear- er. He wore a white satin suit and carried the ring on a small white sat- in pillow. The flower girl, little Miss Frances Scott, came just before the bride and scattered rose petals in her pathway from a lovely arm basket. She was daintily dressed in a ruffled frock of green taffeta combined with maline. The bride entered with her brother. Dr. John MeLauchlin Adams, of Long Island, N. Y. and made a charming picture in her mother’s wedding dress of old ivory satin trimmed with Leirre Jace and pearls. Her wedding veil was worn cap-shape with a circlet, of orange blossoms, and she carried an exquisite shower bouquet of bride’’s roses and lilies-of-the-valley. Her on- ly ornament was a large white cameo worn by her great grandmother. The groom entered with his best man, Mr. John A. Scott, Jr. and a- waited the bride at the altar. Immediately after the ceremony, the wedding party, the relatives and friends from a distance went to the manse to extend congratulations to the happy young couple and speed them on their wedding journey. Af- ter a trip to Virginia and points North Mr. and Mrs. Collier will be at home: at 441 Davie Avenue. The bride wore for traveling a smart suit of tan Kasha cloth with navy blue trim- mings and navy accessories, The bride. is the pretty and attrac- tive daughter of Mrs. W. C. Brown, of Barium Springs. She received her education at Converse College at Spartanburg, S. C., and at Columbia University in New York. The groom is a native of Virginia but has been making his home in Statesville for the past few years where he is en- gaged in the practice of his profes- sion as a member of the law firm of Scott and Collier. He was educated at Blackstone and Randolph-Macon Colleges in Virginia and studied law at Wake Forest, North Carolina. A number of relatives from a dis- tance who attended the marriage were Mr. and Mrs. John W. McLauchlin, Mr. and Mrs. William Lamont, and Mr. and Mrs. W. B. McLauchlin, of Raeford; Mr, Burnett Collier of Em- poria, Va., Mr. and Mrs. L. B. Ander- son; Miss Alice Burt, of Biscoe; Messrs. William and Malloy Lamont, Master Tom and little Miss Josephine Mr. and Mrs. H. C. MeLauchlin, Misses Ida and Mattie Mc- Lauchlin , of Raeford; Miss Sarah McFayden, of China; Mr. and Mrs. John D, McFayden, of China; Mr, year enough money to buy a ticket which costs for a $1.00; and for one over tive lve, $2.00. On this particular Excursion, we ran a Refreshment Car. The profits from this Refreshment Car were used to : fray part of our expense in connection with the trip, and the balance went into our support fund. So instead of this excursion bei on the support fund, it really boosted it a little bit. vg ch ld, nya drag The money that went to pay for this Excursion was the in-|} dividual property of the different children at the h ution. We couldn't very well tale this money and pay teacher: lavies with it.

In fact it was at the banquet at the evening of the White House Con- t Washington an address at session ference called by President Rooseveli in 1909. He made quite a_ poir against the necessity of so many in stitutions for children. In a sly way he took a dig at the white people who} were so willing to shift the respor- sibility of rearing the children of their own deceased relatives, He claimed that in the negro race there} in- |} was much of a demand for stitutions to take care for their child- ren. He ture of what teok pla in the negro not a pi average gave com- munity when father and mother were | called away by death. Relatives would come in from this and that and frequently friends well as ln- tives to claim the privilege of caring for the orphan children. We all realiz« the truth of what he was saying, for we had known that just that thing so frequently takes place. It would be a good thing if some one should rise to make Booker Washington's speech or at least to make his point before many a congregation of our own people. They ought in some way be put to shame for the way in which they try to shift responsibility.

The little peeps are thrilling which| one gets through the rose-trellissed fence that Separates the orphanage from the highway. Peeping may be wrong some times but where condi-| tions are made so ideal and where the | peeping is so inspirational it would | seem that te peep is permissible. The great pity is that all the people who so lavishly pour their substance and treasure into this institution could not take this peep thro the rose-trellissed fence and see and feel and realize what disposition is being made of their treasure. To see the nearly four hundred little ones whose lines had fallen to them in unfortunate places and to feel that the pledges of, the great Presbyterian body were in a measure untangling these lines and straightening them out so that these nearly four hundred little lives were flowing on norma!!y toward a goal of splendid citizenship. You can peep thro this fenee and see families of forty sisters and brothers engaged in just such tasks as your children and mine perform ona smaller scale. You may observe the matron-mothers busily engaged in mothering these several large families and in incul- cating in them the fundamental prin- ciples and worthwhile things of life. Then a peep into the kitchen, offices, gardens, farms, barns, and every- where and everywhere is evident the healthy standards of frugal living. The air throout it permeated with a ‘lean spirit of co-operativeness and verybody likes everybody. Peep into the schools, the Sunday School rooms, the church and there, iod save the mark, you'll feel a vi- rant palpable religion at work in the hearts and lives of the little 360. There you'll see christian citizenship n the making; there you can but note the warped and calloused giving place 20 that which is Godly and useful. The writer has on occasion been a »wrivileged peeper and has sometimes ‘avesdropped just a little. When a ‘loak of purple comes down at even- cide as still as—still hovers over— when space is full of little yawns you an peep thro the blessed portals of this big home and there are little nighties by the hundred bent at the snee; little eyes closed reverently and ittle lips startiag messages Heaven- ward in your behalf, my Presbyterians nvoking Heaven's benisons on you ind yours for the good things you rave done to them. If and when you peep on this and when listen in on a ‘ich programme like this you will just feel that little bits o’ heaven has been poured out upon you and thai you'll not have to wait till you cros: he bar ere you receive the benefits of your beneficence.

Am sorry we did not give you more of a game. Frankly my boys never have played| as pcorly. They play the State Champs | next Saturday and must do better. | Shall look forward to having you here December 14, Express to all, even those fine girls in the dining room, our deep thanks, With kindest regards, I remain, Very truly yours, | R. M, O’HAIR, CHANGES IN RURAL LIFE IN TAR HEEL STATE PORTRAYED NTERESTING | facts North Carolina’s progress and sta- tus today in methods of transporta- tion and communication were set forth here in an interesting paper concerning before the North Carolina Club of the University by Gould M. Ham- bright, of Wisconsin, a University ien.or, and interpreted as promising mpertant changes in North Caro- lina life in the matter of turning pepulation more and more to the country, changing the character of rural institutions, and doing away with individualism and provincialisem n rural people. Mr. Hambright’s paper summariz- ed North Carolina’s position today: 5,143 miles of railroad, penetrating 96 counties; 1,094 miles of inland waterways in the Cape Fear, Neuse, Pamlico and Tar, and Roanoke rivers, and an inland waterway from Nor- folk, Va., to Beaufort; 1,500 rural mail routes; telephones in nine per cent of country homes, from a survey of three representative counties; more than 22,600 miles of surfaced local rural roads, to give the State fourth position among the 48 States in 1926; a large percentage of coun- try homes possessing radios; 440,258 autos, an average of one car for each 6.6 people. “North Carolina has always had a scattered population, a State of soli- tary farmsteads and widely scattered villages, no large cities, and until very recently no moderate — sized ‘ities,” he declared. “The isolated condition of farm life has become a heritage,” he went on, pointing out that 60 counties have scarcely any evidence of communi- ty life, three have no incorporated towns, four have no railroad facili- ties, and three have no banks or news- papers.—Charlotte News. —SEND BARIUM THANX OFFER— UVUTEUUEEURUDEUCEODETEEOSSEOOUSODOSUSESODSOODDSOOODS Lottie Walker 2nd FLOOR 00 EE Lottie Walker Second Floor, Oct. 14 Two months of school have passed and are now starting on our third month! Most of our girls passed in their studies for the month, for which we are glad. It has been pretty cold this past week and many of us have bad colds. But we don’t mind the cold so much when we can skate and play ball to keep warm. Last Friday after noon all of the High School and the boys of the various teams went to Statesville to see our boys play a game of foot- ball. The game was just grand! when the game ended the score was 20 to 0 in our favor, and we were hoarse from yelling so much. There were a few minor hurts but nothing to worry over. The ninth grade girls are going to North Wilkesboro next Friday after- noon and we hope to have another victory. We have had quite a number of visitors recently. A group of ladies from Morganton came to see us to- day, visiting the various cottages. They usually stay longest at the Baby Cottage because those babies “are too sweet for anything.” We freshmen are going around here these days saying amo’ amas, amat and asking each other, “How to do your algebra and problems.” We'll have to stop now since the light bell is ringing, but you will be hearing from us again in about a month. -—SEND BARIUM THANX-OFFER— PARAPHRASING THE NICKEL Can you tell us how the amount spent for candy, tobacco, and chewing gum compares with the sum spent for education in the United States? Ans.—According to a bulletin published by the Education Association, in 1925, covering figures for 1924, over one billion dollars was spent for to- bacco products, 87 million for chewing gum, and 689 million for candy. Public school expendi- tures totaled $1,821,000,000; all schools throughout the country, $2,386,889,1832_—Current Events. research National Howard TUEUEUEREEDGEUEREREGEUEEOSESOGUREEREEOURGRAGEEGU ENED Howard Cottage, Oct. 21——-We have been enjoying October's bright bine weather. Our trees have never been prettier than they are now. We went for a long walk Saturday afternoon to the cow pasture te lock for walnuts we were disappointed that we didn’t find any. We thank Mr. Thomas and the boys for bringing us so many nice pears and apples; we are sorry they are about all gone now. Miss Templeton, of the Junior Orphanage at Lexington, visited Miss McGoogan, and Mrs. Forte of the same place, visited her children, Irene and Sara Forte, over the week end. Only one of our girls got on the Merit Roll. We hope to do better next month. We are glad to have Mrs. R. L. Johnson back with us after being with her sister who has been very sick. The mending girls have been having a time learning to use a thimble but we are coming along. We hope by the next time we write the news we all can say “we can’t sew without a thimble, Miss Woods had a short visit from her sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Connelly of Thaxton, Va.

They showed the best defen of any tea mour varsity has play: this year, with the possible exceptic f Winston-Salem. Our team w: xtended to a full limit to make tl scores that they did. Following th was a game with China Grove. eam that we knew very little abou We had been told that these boys ha stopped playing football to pick co ton, but when we saw the way the played ball, we don’t believe they h: been doing much cotton-picking t! ast week or two, because bit have mn zone up this year against a bett coached or better rounded tenn th hat same China Grove bunch. T} final score was 12-0, and we heav 1 large sigh of relief when that gar was over. Three times this team hr he ball on our one-yard line, but f he beautiful defense of the Bariu eam, the score might have been heir favor. The 125-pound team, after playir 1 sort of a combination game wi Rock Hill, that is by using only t] nembers of the team that weigh less than 115 pounds, and taking « 1 few from the 100-pound team make up, have played a second gan with Belmont Abbey, on Bari ground.

We wish it were possible to rive out information on the ‘hanksgiving offering like you quiries by mail and by telephone daily us to how our Thanksgiv- itions totalled up. As ang conir clear information on that until iate in January, because money comes in all during December and Jaiuary, trom the ihanks- giving offering. Just at this vime, very hitle has come in. vinty one of the larger churches ing owerving. We have had splen- auld contributions trom different | departments of different church- es. The Gleaners Class of High Point First; the Auxiliary of harlotte Second, and the Aux- iliary of the Raleigh First, have sent in splendid Thanksgiving oiferings; and a number of smal! churches have sent in their entire offering. Our Table vf Receipts shows that we have received altogether, Five Cfheusand Three Hundred and Ninety Dollars (35,390.00) of Thanksgiving fferings. We received Four Thou- and Five Hundred and Fifty-four Dollars of regular contributions on she 7M per cent. The standing of e is practically the same as t was at this date last year. The total ived on a per member basis was i5b.7 cents. This year, 46.3. The fact hat the one more day in Nov- mber aiter Thanksgiving this year shan last, accounts for this difference. In addition to the gifts in money, we have had several splendid gifts in ‘ther ways. Mrs. John Sprunt Hill »f Durham, has presented the Orphan- wwe with Ten Thousand Dollars worth if Securities, yielding 6 per cent rev- nue. This tog with a similar eift last year, increased our Endow- nent very n rially. As this i: itten, there are two pieces of real estate that are being presented to the Orphanage. These vill yield some revenue and should in ime, be very valuable additions to the Iynhanage property. We are not at < this time to announce either j or the gifts. At the sugges sstion of one of the nembers of f the Board of Regents, we will give s » additional information with this Table of Receipts each nenth. The idea is to show the way mr finances stand at the beginning of he church year. To each month, give he total of the receipts from all ources and the total of expenditures, and then, each month, a total of the amount we are behind or ahead. We ire in hopes that, beginning our new hurch year, in 1930, April the first, hat we can start out with a “Balance” te: of a “Deficit.” This may ce just a dream, but we are 1oping that this will some day come about it isn’t possible at this time to give he information on our current church year other than in general terms. —P.

This table shows each month the contributions by the Presbyteries and how far be- hind or ahead they are on this schedule. The last column shows the standing. This does not mean that only $1.50 is expecied from any member, but is used in re- porting on large groups like a Presbytery. oeaeae—oeueaeauou5050O——————aeeeo eee CEODEAAOEERELRDELEGDERDEGDAADDEOREEDU hin eateateas Gifts CORDED EDQEDEOGSEEEAEUEEREEREEREREUERTTEEUEEA EEE ENt Mt.

We are hoping Rhoda, Margaret and Catherine, with and William, will sing as well there as here, and that Miss Hanna and Mr. Johnston will be proud of them. We are so happy the rain has stop- ped—and we are having such a lovely sunshine day. We've had some nice visitors since our last letter—a beautiful little girt named Marian Elliott from Catawba, came with her aunt, Miss Young, to see us and brought our little Mabel Weddington a splendid warm cap to wear with her new red sweater tha eame in her clothing box. The good people dress Mabel. We enjoy- ed little Miss Marian Elliott very much and would like to have her e come and spend a whole day some-; time. Then just so many big ladies have been here we couldn’t begin to tell you ali their names. Miss Doggett’s little neice, and Mr. and Mrs. Johnston from Tennessee came and took us all for a grand ride in their handsome car and bought big ‘ali-day suckers” and chewing gum to last us a long time. We were a happy crowd as well as very noisy, any way. We just wish that Mr. and Mrs. Johnston (Miss Doggett’ | folks) would come often. Mr. Billings came to see Mable and William this last Saturday and brought apples to everybody in Baby Cottage. They surely were fine good apples! And you may guess we en- joyed them. Thanksgiving Day is near, and we realize we have lots to be thankful for. We have everything we need to eat, warm clothes to wear, and lots of folks to love us. We must not forget to tell you how very much we enjoy the pictures Mr. us. Mr. Gould gave us a wanary bird nearly two years ago and we loved it so much! ’Twas @ beautiful singer. Not long ago it died—and most all of us felt like erying— and some of us did cry. Miss Helen says she is going to get us another bird as soon as she can go to Spartanburg -—and we'll be so glad. ————P, O.

Right on the first day of the | College of Maxton. . | This is their first year as a college, jand of course, their first year as a |team, and while their team showed ex- cellent individual playing, it has not | yet had time to function smoothly as ja team. They outweighed Barium Springs somewhat, but our victory was decis- jive. 82-0 being the final score. The | High School Stadium in Charlotte be- ling the scene of the conflict. On Thursday, November the 7th, we took on the splendid little team from the Children’s Home of Winston- Salem, known as “The Winston Meth- odists”. This team is lighter than Barium Springs. It is not often that we go up against a lighter team, and it was almost better than Barium Springs. The game started out with ample rooting on both sides of the field. Winston couldn’t gain through Barium’s line, and it looked like Bar- ium would win an easy victory, until something happened, and that some- thing was Winston's pulling the most beautiful pass that has been executed on Barium field in many a day. Win- ston had the ball on their own twenty yard line. One of the boys stepped back, apparently to kick; instead he took the ball and looked very leisure- ly and carefully around over the field and finally threw a fifty-yard heave to a little End that had gone way down. This one play, resulted in a touchdown. Try for point failed . The game stayed just in this condi- tion until the middle of the last quar- ter, when Barium from near her own goal started a drive which consisted mainly of two passes—one to McKay and one to Brown, which resulted in 4 touchdown. Brown carried over the ball for the extra point and the: final score was 7-6. The closest game we have had since playing Winston High All glory to those scrappy little Meth- odists from the Hill City. The next game was on the 14th, at Barium against Davidson and Corne- lius High Schools. This combina- tion team presented the heaviest _ line that we have gone against. One tackle weighed 220; the other, 210. They also showed good individual playing, but rather poor teamwork. The out- standing player on that team was their safety man whose carrying back of punts and general leadership of the ‘eam was most excellent. The fina’ score in this game was 27-0 in favo of Barium. A write-up of the gamc between Belmont Abbey and Barium will appear elsewhere in this num- ber. So much for varsity. doings! The 125-pound team took on Bel- mont Abbey lightweights on Barium Springs ground for a return game, and the game ended in victory for Barium, 18-0. In the first half of this zame our boys couldn’t get going, but ‘n the second half, they did better. Little Branch, the brother of the now ‘amous Johnnie Branch, is one of the smaller members of this team. This team of 125-pounders then journeyed “o Asheville and took on a team of ‘ightweights from the Asheville School for Boys, defeating them 26-0. Then this team, together with a few substitutes from the varsity, played Mooresville on Barium grounds win- ting 21-0. Our 115-pound team was rotten together from this team and *rom the 100-pound team, and they ylayed the Davidson Scouts, a fine scrappy little bunch, and the result was 12-0 in favor of Barium. 100 POUND CONFERENCE The 100-pound conference has treck- ad along, the most remarkable jevelopment in that being the splendid ‘mprovement shown by Statesville. Statesville started her season by being defeated by Barium 20-0. She then proceeded to clean up every- thing else on her schedule, beating Troutman once, and Salisbury twice by rather lop-sided scores: and when Barium went up against Statesville for her second game, the resultwas a tie. Statesville, of course is second only to Barium Springs in the rating. “n the Southern Group of Conference, having only one defeat and one tie. Barium, with no defeat and one tie, is the winner and will play the win- ner of the Upper Group, probably November the 30th. The only games that we have recerd of being played in the Upper Group is Lexington, 13; Winston-Salem, 6 In addition to the regular Confer- ence games in which Barium has the record, as shown below, they also have played a team of Deaf mutes from the School for the Deaf at Mor- ganton. This game was played be- tween the halves and after the big Carolina game at Davidson, and re- sulted in a bare victory for Barium of 6-0. A second game with this team will be recorded elsewhere in this issue. The record of Barium’s games in the Conference is as follows: Barium 20 Statesville 0 Barium 45 Troutman 0 Barium 14 Salisbury 0 month | | we took on the Baby of the Presby- | lterian fold—the Presbyterian Junior | Howard Cottage, Nov. 18—It seems such a short time since we wrote the news for last month. If time keeps flying this way Christ- mas will soon be here. Already the girls are talking about what they are going to ask Santa Claus to bring them. Thanksgiving is right around the corner now, and, oh boy, how we are looking forward to that big dinner. We surely will be glad when they get the smokestack finished and the new boiler put in so we can have more steam these cold mornings. We want to correct our mistake about the merit roll last month, there were eight of our girls on the merit roll -and one on the honor roll. Miss Woods spent last week end with her parents at Mooresville, and Mrs. McGirt was our matron. She and Miss McGoogan took us for a long walk Sunday evening and we enjoyed t very much. Mrs. Grier’s little niece, Mary Ellen Morrison, only two years old, is visit- ing her and we enjoy hearing her cute little baby talk. We certainly had a good time at ou Halloween party We thank Misses Patterson and McDade for giving u: such a good time. Laura Lee Norman got the prize for being dressed the ‘tackiest, and Clara Wadsworth go: the prize for pinning the cats tail the nearest right. Edmonia Steele, Wilma Dry, Janie Lyons and Hattie Morris are the mending girls who have learned t+ ise a thimble. We darn stockings Tuesday and Fridays and mend slothes on Thursdays. —Hattie Morris. ——P. O. H.

We were sorry the weather was so bad while the Regents were here. We always enjoy enter taining the ladies. Some of them who came to see the Home did not let the rain stop them, but visited nosit of the cottages any way. Onc )f the old girls, Thelma Prier who is 1ow Mrs. Severs, made us a_ short visit a few days ago. Mrs. Severs ‘ives in Charlotte, but had never been hack since she finished in the Class of ‘16. Mrs. Wilson from Statesville, 3 visiting her children this after- noon, We are looking forward to having sausage one of these nights—killed hogs today. We are expecting a marine band on the campus this afternoon to play for us. Isn’t that kind of them to rive us this pleasure. So many good things come our way. Keep us busy those days raking leaves. They fall so fast! yet not fast enough; since we would like to get thro! The flowers are almost gone to. so our campus begins to look bare. The foot ball season is about over. But never mind boys the girls will entertain you for a while thro the winter with basket ball and we want you to root for us; Mr. Thomas is gathering the pecans. I hope we have a good crop we love them. We have very little sickness in our big family. The good people from different place’s are remembering us with so many nice quilts for which we are grateful. Won't be long now until Christmas. we are thinking already about what we want Santa Claus to bring us. Home coming day will be the day after Christmas—Dec. 26. We hope there will be some of the old children of the Home who have never been back, or not in a long time, you dont know what you are going to miss by not coming and you should come and see what great improvments have been made since some of you left. Mrs. Ketchie made us a short visit this afternoon. Birthday dinner today. The Decem- ber children will have the first mess of sausage. We don’t have much time to write for the paper as our time now is about taken up. — ——P. O. H. AMERICAN DISTINGUISHED MEN AND THEIR SCHOOLING.

Aren't you glad? We sure are. We have almost gone looney trying to think what we want Santa Clause to bring us. We have been enjoying the foot- ball games that we have been going to and hope we will get to go to all of them. We sure do thank Mr. Nesbit and Mr. Calvin for making us a clothes- chute to put the soiled clothes thru; to the basement, for our clothes room was crowed and we needed one real bad. We also thank the people of Circle No three at Salisbury for our new clock. We put it in the hall so everybody could see it when they came in the door. Miss Hanna came down to live with us last month and we hope she likes to stay with us. We are head over heels in love with Mrs. McGirt, our new student-matron that came from Maxton to live with us. We hope she will stay a long time. We have had a good many sick folks this month, but did not have to stay long. Hope we don’t have many this winter. Two of our girls go to the birth- lay dinner this month. Know they will enjoy going. Well our pencil is about to run out of lead, so we will close up for this ‘ime, by hoping you will have a nice Thanksgiving, and wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year. ——P. 0.

She has been down there nearly a week. Elmer Little went home for a day with her folks last week. She reported a fine time, although it was a surprise visit. Strange, wasn’t it? The Regents spent a day and night with us this week, and we hope they enjoyed the visit. They are always in such a hurry they don’t have time to visit us any. Marguerite and Elmer are trying to get slim, but they race to the bean pot every day in the kitchen and that tends to add curves. There is a scarity of news so we close for a time. - oO.

We are glad to have Emma Eudy to come and live with us, and we hope she likes it fine. We sure do thank Mr. Edwin Gould of New York City for the nice pictures he sent us. We appreciate very much the fruit Mr. Thomas has given us and hope they will bring pecans soon. We have been enjoying the football games of the season very much especially the one with Winston-Salem Orphanage and Davidson High School. Basketball starts December the first and we expect to win the games as we won the football games. A number of our girls made the Merit and Honor Roll and hope they will keep it up.
