ideal property for the purposes in
tended.

ball team and the boys football team
of our high school, accompanied by
number of friends, hied themselves
to Mccormick to engage the high
school teams Of that town in contests.
In the game between the basket
ball teams the Edgefeld girls won, by
score of 20 to 18. The game was
clean and spirited from the first. Miss
Alice Prescott, who is one of the best
players was the star Of the game.
Hurrah for our Edgefeld girls,
Immediately following the basket
ball victory, our boys won a signal
victory over the Mccormick football
team in score of 81 to 0. The game
was rather slow on account Of the
rough condition Of the field, Of the
nine touchdowns made by Edge6eld
Wright secured five. The two teams
were about evenly matched in weight
but our boys had no trouble in gain
ing and were forced to punt only
once. After the third quarter started

vote the proceeds to this worthy in

orphan children. of Baptist fathers

that any cannot work, let them give
an amount equivalent to days earn
ings and let everybody bring their
contribution to Sunday school on
Sunday morning.

A Birthday Surprise.

On Thursday, October rs, Mrs.
Lucinda Dorm celebrated hel' birth
day when she gave her children de-
|lightful dinner of everything that
was good to eat. After feasting on
these good things, a huge dish of
home made fudge with walntlts was
served.
It was beautiful sunshiny day,
and all decided to take a stroll out on
the creek, as autumn gives her bril-
liart colors and farewell to the
beautiful trees. The scenery of au-
tumn makes one sad, but it is very
pretty indeed. Some gathered wal
nuts and berries while the little
grandchildren played onsthe banks. ID
day; Mrs: Dorns children
planned among themselves to surprise
their mother, so on Sunday the 29th
following, they all gathered, the old
er being Mr.. j. T. Dorm of Green
wood, Mr.. and Mrs. w. ]. Manly from
Ware Shoals, Mr.. and Mrs. F. p. Wal
ker, Mr.. and Mrs. W. H. Thinner
man, Mr.. and Mrs. w. NJ. Dorm from
Pleasant Lane, eleven grandchildren
and her sister, Mrs. Sophie Pardue.
The children all brought her presents,
and baskets filed with everything
imaginable to eat, and birthday
cake, on which were placed sixty
three green, white and red candles,
and decorated with asparagus fern
and dainty flowers.
After enjoying themselves all the
morning in this happy family reunion
the time for dinner came, the long ia
bic was prepared in the yard, and the
beautiful birthday cake took its place
in the center of the table surround
ed by wonderful menu of fresh oys-
tiers, baked and fried chicken, salads,
potato chips, sandwiches, roast beef,
pickles and pies and cakes of many
varieties.
When everything was ready a
prayer of thanks was made by Mrs.
Dorm, and everybody was bountifully
helped. When all had been served the
table still groaned beneath the load
which remained. Soon all the good
things had been put away and the
family grouped themselves on the
lawn and front porch.
Everyone had had royal good
time and spend a joyful day. So they
bade goodbye with the hope to meet
again and wished for their mother
many happy returns of her birth
day.

which is the only law that will solve
any knotty problems or difficulties
between man and man.
AS I remember his subject it was
Stewardship Of Labor" He spoke OF,
many things but out Of them all he
drew one great conclusion, the idea
of service in one capacity or another.
He spoke of St. Francis of Assizi
and how he had left friends and
home, and life Of luxury to be a
servant of God. Today there are
saints he said, great men who know
how to use their wealth as yrust
from God. John D. Rockefeller, Jr.,
and Edward Filene are quite as much
saints as St. Francis Edward F'ilene
is the owner of a large department
store in Boston. He gives a great
deal of his money away and has his
store organized for the convenience
and happiness of all his employees.
They are treated as individuals and
not as cogs in machine.
1t is not a halo, or a robe, or even
three hundred years of worship that
make a saint, but humane ideas to-
ward mankind and an appreciation
of them. He spoke of different ways
of serving and suggested the theatre
to that great crowd Of splendid col
lege women as worth while career
for many of them. Perhaps no state
in the union has had so great a
change in it's views in recent years
toward everything in general and re-
ligion in particular as Massachusetts,.
Being the home oFthe first settlers
it was naturally the first in Puritanic
conservatism. The city of Boston is
filled with extremists. Some people
still cling to the old ideas of long
faced spirituality and other have lost
their reason in fanaticism. One has
but to go to an old cemetery in the
very heart of the city to see carved
upon the grave stones skulls with
wings and skulls and cross bones, a
dream forecast of future life. A
small boy would be told that no mat
ter how deep the snow or how bitter
the wintereair he would takescUfd
going to or coming from church.
In contrast to the early Massachu-
sets parsons was Mr.. Fisher. And in
contrast to them, too, are all the
sane high minded men who are in
the ministerial profession today. Per-
haps if l summed up my thought in
a few sentences would say that this
is time when all the good forces of
the world need to join hands. The
church with the best in the drama,
the college with the church, and so
on. Today the problems are too big
for any one group to solve.
There is no room for antagonism,
only need for broadminded coop
Grafton between all forces that tend
for the uplift of humanity at home
and abroad.

The beautiful sunshine on Monday
morning seems to me, to bring cheer
for the week. Those of rather super

school on last Sunday was conducted
by Mr.. W. A. Dow, the teacher Of
the adult Bible class, who left the.
continuance Of the school to a vote,
to which the entire body rose.
The minstrel was considered by
many who are good authority as be-
ing a credit to experienced talent.
While the attendance was smaller
than was anticipated, we feel very
grateful for the success. And our
teachers are commended not only.
for their untiring efforts but for the
diversion of spirits made thus by the:
mingling together of the older ones,
who need to step aside occasionally
from the old routine. And, again,

CITY zON|NG PLAN
VALUE DISCUSSED
What Has Been Accomplish
ed by municipalities Under
System Is Shown.

What cities and towns have accom-
plished by zoning is outlined In an in
stallment of the ''zoning primer" pre-
pared by Secretary Hoover's advisory
committee and released today through
the Washington Real Estate Board.
The installment follows:
Undoubtedly, the most convincing
statement which could be made in re-
gard to the value Of coming is that prac-
tically all the large cities of the United
to continue to develop further without
the adoption of a building zone plan.
New York, St. Louis, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Milwaukee. Washington.
Newark, Rochester. Omaha, not to
mention smaller cities such as East
Orange, N. j.; Berkeley. Calf. and
Brockton, Mass. already have zoning
ordinances in operation. while Chicago,
Philadelphia. Detroit. Cleveland. Balti-
more, Pittsburgh, Portland, Greg; At
lanta and many others have coming
plans In progress Moreover, it is not
alone our larger cities which realize
the necessity for timely regulation OF
the uses of property. A considerable
number of the smaller towns, espe
cially in California. Ohio, Illinois. New
Jersey and New York, either have
passed a zoning ordinance or have one
in an advanced stage OF preparation.
SS Municipalities ZOned.
I'm fact. on April IL. 1922. fifty-eight
municipalities In the United States were
on record as having zoning ordinances
already enacted, and 10 were reported
to have Zoning plans in progress.

lations has brought to- light certain
striking facts.

tablished sections. Certain districts have
been rehabilitated as a direct result Of
the zoning ordinance. Another inter-
esting result has been the production
Of type Of high building believed to
be far better than the former elongated
matchboy type
in an analysis Of building per-
mits issued in st. Louis in the first
fourteen months under the Zoning
ordinance 1t was found that resi-
dences tended to follow the residence
district and did not even attempt to
seek locations in industrial or unre-
stricted areas. Except commercial
buildings which were built partly in
commercial and partly in industrial
districts, the development of st.
Louis is said to be fitting itself very
closely to the zoning plan.
Exclusion of Residences.
ITO avoid the common condition
that Industrial plants encounter of
having to do business on residential
basis denied large-scale facilities in
their vicinity on account of protests
by residence owners. Alameda, Calf,
with other cities. has established in
dustrial zones In which no new per-
mits to build residences will be
granted A leading municipal en-
gineer is quoted as saying that the
prohibition of residences in industrial
zones is one of the most important
projections to put in a zoning ordi-
nance. This method Is being relied
on to develop Hoboken. n. j., as a
great industrial terminal.
I'm New Jersey it has been found
that the unZoned suburban town is
at a distinct disadvantage as COM
pared with the community protected
by a zoning ordinance. People are
asking themselves why they should
invest money in home or lend mon
ey on a mortgage in an unprotected.
unzoned locality. The zoned towns
are actually absorbing the better
grade of development. The result has
been that builders, architects and
real estate owners in unzoned towns
are persistently urging their local
councils to adopt zoning. so that they
may have as good a selling PROPOSE
ton to offer prospective clients as
their competitors in the zoned towns.
Information concerning zoning
progress in states and cities Of the
United States will be made available
by the division Of building and hous-
Ing of the Department of Commerce
at Washington. d. c. A selected bib
biography of zoning is issued by the
division and may be obtained on ap-
plication."

3 Railroads Put Embargo
on All Except Fuel, Food

Washington, July 28-(By A. P.)
Three coal carrying railroads, the
Norfolk & Western, Chesapeake &
Ohio, the Louisville & Nashville,
have declared embargoes over their
lines against the acceptance of any
freight except foodstuffs, live stock
and fuel. The actions were taken
under the interstate commerce COM
mission declaration Of an emergency,
which authorized railroads embar-
rassed by the shopmen's strike to
show preference and establish prior
ity in transportation.
The object of the embargoes is to
conserve all the equipment Of the
three carriers for the transportation
of coal. The roads serve the nom
union bituminous mining areas south
of the Ohio river. which have fur
nished most of the country's coal
output since April |.
1t was believed that the first result
of the embargo would be to increase
coal shipments from the nonunion ter
ritory.
