B. P. o. E. Ball.

By far one of the more important
social events of the Fourth of July
holidays in Union City was the B. F,
o. E. ball at the Elks home.
There were numbers Of visitors
here from the various cities and lc-
calities nearby, comprising probably
the largest list of out-of-town guests
ever seen on one occasion.
A commendable feature Of the &C.
casion was the very high order OF
decorum and courtesy among the
dancers and the entire crowd. Nota-
BILE indeed was the spirit of true chiv-
airy and hospitality and the rivalry
in the ancient art of all arts to excel
in the graces and refinements of the
dance.

FRIDAY. JULY 8. 1921.

The friends of the League of Ma
tions covenant are no doubt highly
pleased with the results of the poll
taken by the National Economic
League. This is poll, as shown in
the report on the fourth page, of As
States, and the majority for the
League is overwhelming, thus repu-
dating the claim that the last cleo
tion was a mandate" against the
League. Coincident with this report
is the failure of Senator Lodge in Sc
curing the passage of resolution
for a thirty days recess of the United
States Senate. Therefore it appears
that truth is mighty and will pre-
vail and that the sinister influences
are weakening-sans Lodge, Harvey,
Watson, Shields and the whole
bunch The speech in--the House of
Mr.. Garrett was one of the notable
efforts against the peace resolution,
itself practically a notification of
Americas connection with the
League. Mr.. Garrett made some tell
ing points in favor of the League of
Nations, using the argument that,
Notwithstanding Geo. Washington
warned against entangling alliances,
the war of 1912 was not avoided;
that we have always accepted the
services of volunteer patriots, foreign
born, in our conflicts with Europe
and civil strife; and finally that the

Union City's most popular quartets.
And then we must mention the good
work of Miss Ruth Marshall and Miss
Edith Quinn. both interesting char
acter studies.
But above all in the production of
this engaging score is the combined
effort of the musical organizations
of Union City, but for which this
operatic success would have been less
interesting and colorful. The or
chestra of the occasion included
Miss Sullivan, Miss Mayes and Miss
Bonner. These are all fine aids to
the operatic achievement. Especial

have been averted entirely if there
had been in existence at the time a

impressive remark was made at the

and that was that the nations will no
longer seek to acquire more territory

Presbyterian Pipe Organ.

The pipe organ which is shortly to
be installed in Rockingham Pres
byterian church, will compare favor
ably with, if it does not actually eX-
eel, any organ in this section of the
Carolinas.
1t is the product of The House of
Pitcher" of Louisville, KY, having
been built by them specially for the
Rockingham church. The Pitchers,
il may be added, have back of them
a reputation for high grade organ
building, with more than century
of successful accomplishment and
satisfactory service in their field.
The new organ comprises four
teen stops, with a total of eight hun
drcd and twenty-five lH22) pipes. In
addition there arc a Harp attach.
mCnt. with a range O. 10 notes, and
a set of organ chimes, with range
of 20 notes. These features, together
with the number of stops included in
the organ, Will insure AN almost I'm
limited range of tone and a quality
of tone that will be difficult TO excel
The organ itself has, properly
speaking, been built in two sections

trance to the church. An opening
has been made from the Echo
Chamber into the auditorium. This
opening will be latticed and equip
ped with shutters, by means of
which the volume of music can be
augmented or decreased at the will
of the organist. The Echo Organ
will, of course, be played from the
great manual at the console.
The console, which is of the de
tachcd' type, will be located near
the front of the church, on the left
hand side of the auditorium as one
enters the building. 1t will embrace
two manuals and the pedals, the
manuals having Il range of 81 notes,
while the range of the pedals will
be 3G notes.
The purely mechanical features OF
the organ will include and embOdy
the very latest improvements and
inventions in the field of organ con-
stluctiou. A few of these features
are mentioned: Perfected wind
chests. electric action throughout,
crcScendo moNcments, register key

When the organ has been installed

congregation of the Presbyterian
church, it is the plan to have one
OF the leading Organists of the state
to come to Rockingham to give a

ed cut that while their rate for tran
sient trade was SOC per car, patrons
who had. occasion to make frequent
trips, could buy a book of 20 tickets
which sells for $500, educe this to

siOners stated that they had heard
very little complaint, one member
from Richmond, stating that he had
heard only one man kicking against
the charges, and that no complaint
had been made against the service
rendered by the management of the
Blewett Falls Ferry Co. Some of the
commissioners expressed themselves
as feeling that on account of the SUI
perior service rendered by the Blew
EFT Falls Company and the invest
ment made by them, that they
should be. allowed to make charge
little in excess of that charged by
other ferries where the service is
poor and the investment small. At

lin Memory Of Mrs. Sarah Cathrine
McLaurin Watts, Who Died July
10th, 1921

She is dead and gone from sight,
To her home on the other shore;
And though to us it's starless night,
To her It's morning everywhere.
Forever done with toll and fear,
Forever done with toll and pain;
Oh, would we if we had the power,
Bring her back to earth again?
It's true she was the light of home,
And happy and contented there;
And am favored who has known her
And her tender loving care.
pause sometimes when sad and lonely,
At thoughts of her who's gone,
And count the precious memories
That death has kindly to me left.
A prudent, helpful and cheerful woman,
A faithful mother, fond and true;
Who in the darkest days of life,
Some hidden source of gladness knew.
She looked on life's sunny side,
AS every Christian Pilgriam should;
And found her highest happiness
In serving God and doing good.
We may not answer, God knows best,
How to unbind the hands of clay;
When to remove to heavens sweet rest,
The saints who His will obey.
We know her earthly work is done,
And every pain and peril past;
Her soul has reached the path of peace,
| And she is welcomed home at last.
Could we but look within the veil,
And see her radiant face today;
Our hearts might drop their heavy griefs
And all our tears be wiped away.
Has she the dear departed met,
Who passed before her to the skies;
| And will she wait and watch for us
| When God shall bid our spirits rise.
IA FRIEND.
