Methodist Ladies' Hold Social SEES
sion.
Along with our religious duties we
have come to recognize the fact that
unless the members of religious organ
izations are. at times. brought togeth-
er in social communion. there is more
or less stagnation and the members
OF the Woman's Home and Foreign
Missionary Society Of the Methodist
Church have acted wisely IN as much
as they annually invite the ladies OF
the church to meet with them in open
session and the social feature predom-
mates. The fall of the year is chosen
because II is at this time that the
church is most vitality interested in
new activities and meeting of this
kind is an incentive to the attain
ment Of better work by the members
and also a means of interesting others
In engaging in the work. On Monday
afternoon, October II, these ladies and
their guests assembled in the Sunday
School room Of the church and amid
the most cordial greetings and with
out the least note of formality there
was evidence OF much real enjoyment.
After the exchange Of greetings and
every one was given the assurance Of
an unrestrained welcome, musical
and literary program in which the
children participated was rendered.
Those taking part were little Misses
Ruth Newland, Sallie Boyett and Miss
Frances Mike and Martha Rivers AL.
len, Masters Sam Crenshaw, Verne
Adams, Jack Doan and Coulter Hop
pess Of Hillsboro. At the conclusion
or this Mrs r. o. Allen made an earn.
est appeal to the ladies', addressing
them on the subject of "Why Every
Lady Member Should Be a Member
of Our Society," and with her perfect
adequacy in treating the subject and
the manner in which she presented it
she easily convinced her hearers of
their need OF the work and the works
need of them. Mrs. w. F. Hoppess of
Hillsboro, was a guest OF the after
noon, and when called on to tell some
thing of the work being done in Hills.
boro, she not only gracefully respond
ed to this request, but in a most enter.
tanning manner gave them an account
of the District Conference of the So.
ciety which has just recently been
held there.
Sandwiches and grape juice were
served the guests and they departed
feeling that they had gained much
from the meeting, both intellectually
and socially.

this county, are organizing cream
route which will serve more than 80

To replace the cotton the farmers are
buying hogs, beef cattle, dairy COWS
and will raise big crops Of corn, milo
maize. kaffir corn and other grains
adapted to the soil of the county.
A local bank has offered to loan
farmers, either owners or tenants. SUI
ficient funds to buy two or three reg

the banks will result in scores Of farm
ers buying small hog herds and engag

FLAGG SHOWS JURY
HIS SYSTEM" CHART
Asserts He Made 100000 in
Wall Street Easily by
Means Of It.
X. z. LEAvITT A WITNESS

BY means OF a chart and a text book
Jared Flagg. who Is acting as his own
lawyer before Judge Rudlin In the United
States District Court. eSpounded to the
Jurors his particular system Of beating
the stock margin game-a system, he
said, which had made 100000 in Wall
street for him easily.
The chart used by Flagg was thirty
feet wide and six feet high and registered
the fluctuations OF Steel common from
the time that stock was listed to the clos-
ing OF the exchange on July 80. 1914. 1t
was intended primarily to Illustrate
Flagg's psychological explanation OF the
principle guiding the luctuation OF stock
The text book he referred to was none
other than his own much talked OF book
How TO Make Money in Wall Street"
Judge Rudkn told the Jurors they
should disregard any testimony az to the
legality or illegality OF the Flagg sys-
TEN. This leaves the jury to decide
whether Flagg actually used his Gus
toners money as he advertised or whether,
as the Government charges. he never ac-
tually dealt In stocks. II they arrive at
the latter conclusion, they will then have
to determine whether or not Flagg used
the malls to promote his business, as he
Is under indictment for a violation of the
postal laws.
III my customers had adhered 70 my
system from 1903 to the present time"
said Flagg. they would have made an
