to be torn down before we can
return to normalcy.
Well, well, we shall. see what
we shall see. In the meantime
the South will again bide it's time.
Even the Egyptians finally grew
tired of the flesh pots. The road
to normalcy is not a concrete
highway by any means. Four
years is not long. But it will be
long enough for the American
people to learn that it is a far cry
from normalcy to the fultillment
of their dreams.
The Republican party is in glo-

Of just such tribulations as it is

will return again to the fight.
The same old fight. In the end
it cannot lose. For Gods in His
Heaven and all's well with the
world.

Lewis Hartley.

Brother Lewis Hertley died a
his home not very many miles
from Blowing Rock on July 7th
1920, and was laik to rest in the
cemetery at Laurel Fork Baptist
church on July 9th.
He was a member of Rock Is
land Advent Christian church
and had been for more than thir.
ty-tive years. He was nearly Il
years of age. He married Miss
Mary E. Triplett in 1875. The
wife and seven children survive
him. We wouldSe glad to give
their names but for lack of space
will omit them.
He did not believed that God
Almighty, who is the author OF
all life and who formed the earth
and thes and spread the hea.
vens above, is dependent upon
any germ identity toperform the
power of resurrection. Citizens
of the county who knew him well
told me that he was a perfectly
honest and upright christian gen
tleman. The relatives sorrow
not as others who have no hope,
but are looking forward to the
resurrection. They believe that
Jesus Christ and St. Paul affirm
ed that the hope of deciples at
the hour of death did not consist
in an invisible translation of an
inner man to heaven, but rather
in the promise, II will raise him
up at the last day." Words of
comfort spoken by the writer.

BACK 70 NORMALLY.
(Winston-Salem journal. J

(WinstonSalem JOurnal.)
There is now no doubt that the
people of this Republic, at leas
OF that part of the Republic be-
yond the Mason and Dixon Line
are tired of the lofty ideals and
principles of government under
which we have lived during the
Administration of Woodrow Will.
son.
The kind Of government that
has been given US in the main by
Southern Craftsmanship during
these nearly eight years is for the
moment unsatisfactory to a ma.
jority Of the American people.
They prefer the flesh pots.
And so we shall now return to
normalcy.
BY that obsolete term as used
by President,elect Warren Cana
liel Harding is meant a govern.
ment similar to that which we
had in this country prior to the
new era ushered in by the elec-
ton of Woodrow Wilson in the
year 1912. Mr.. Harding said
that was what he meant. At the
very outset of his campaign he
declared he wanted the Nation to
20 back to the good old days of
Mckinley.
And it is to those days we shall
return. We shall have again in
this country a government by the
representatives of the special in.
terests, if it is possible for Mr..
Harding and the group of Sena.
tors that nominated and elected
him to re-establish such a gov
ernment. They honestly believe
in that sort of government. They
believe it is better for the people
thaat prosperity should be filter
ed down to the masses through
the fingers of the specially favor.

Once more the group of indus

III the saddle. The other crowd
iAin the saddle.
That is no new experience for
the South. For forty years it
wandered in the wilderness and
bided it's time. Then the oppor-
tunity came. In the crucial hour

the world knows.
In American history no pages
will shine brighter or more glori-
GUS than those recording the pro
gress of the United States from
the year 1912 to toe Year 1918,
when the Democratic party, led
by Southern statesmen in the
House and Senate, was in full
control of the affairs of the Re.
public. During those years for
the frst time in the history of
the United States of America,
took leadership among the ma.
tions of the earth. During those
years domestic prosperity was
so generally diffused that it will
be known as the Golden Age of
American progress. During those
years our social conditions have
been so vastly improved, espec.
tally among the .toiling classes,
that many have dreamed that the
New Earth was at hand.
But now the people have deci.

Lecture on Americanism

A program is to be given by the
M. E. Sunday School on Sunday eve
ming, October at the church. In
addition to the Sunday School pro-
gram there will be an illustrated
lecture by DR.. Seifert called "The
Passing of the Melting Pot
This lecture when given in New
York, Chicago and other large cities
has proven great attraction and
the press and public have been very
eulOgistic. 1t is a topic to loyalty
and patriotism and gives the real SOL
ution of the complex social and labor
problems that vex this republic.
America is likened to a retort in
which the immigrant is refined, not
losing his personality, but blending
his ideals with four own to form a
more perfect Americanism. The
four American retorts are the Home,
Factory, School and the Church.
The destructiveness of the Bolshe-
Wiki propaganda is wildly portrayed.
This movement which filled the gut
tiers of Petrograd with blood got it's
start in New York's east side when
America welcomed Lenine and Trot-
sky as immigrants to it's shores.
1t is strong for one America, one
language and one code of ideals.
The lecture is illustrated with orr
ginal photos of the arrival of the i'm
migrant at New York until he is
incorporated as an American. The
illustrations have cost much time and
money and thought and they visual
ize people, incidents and places that

hosts at very pretty reception given
at their home last Friday night in
honor of their tenth wedding ami
versary. Receiving with them were
Mr.. and Mrs. F. A. Stever. The rooms
we're decorated with pink and white
asters and cosmos, and the same col
or scheme was carried out in the re-
freshments. Sherbert and cake,
coffee and candies were served.
Assisting in the dining-room were
the Misses Jean Harris and Mildred
Leuty. The guests were received at
the door and ushered into the recep-
ton rooms by Miss Freda Horn.
