There are men with beating
hearts that are dead, but not
buried.
The man that eats bread in
the sweat of somebody else's
face is dead, but not buried.
The man that never relaxes
from labor, that never goes out
to enjoy the beauty of Indian
Creek, for example, is dead, but
not buried.
The man who never lets his
heart go out in affection to his
fellow is dead, but not buried.
But the deadest man outside
of the graveyard is the man
that never worships.
Worship is a deep instinct. 1t
is as natural for a man to wor-
ship as it is for a duck to swim.
Some men buck the Board of
Trade, but the man that does
not worship is bucking himself,
is taking his inner self by the
neck.
The man that does not go to
church needs a tombstone with
epitaph as follows: ITO the
memory of a Kansas City man
three-quarters alive and one
quarter dead"

WHAT A TOWN CAN DO
(From the Mar shv:lle Home.)

The Warrenton Railroad, as il was
called, wasn't much of success at
first. but the bonds were paid off
somehow and then the railroad began
to pay; it is and has been a regular
little revenue getter for the past
twelve or fifteen years Just handling
freight between Warrenton and War
rem Pla ms.
Having made a go of railroad of
its own, Warrenton was ready for al
most anything and the town bonded
itself for 100000 and built its own
water and sewerage plant 1t put in
its own electric distribution system
and bought its current from big cot
ton mill outside the town, because it
could buy power as cheap as it could
make it.
Next thing, the town needed a good
ice plant and Warrenton built its own
ice plant.
Then travelling men who came to
town kicked about the hotel accom-
modations and private capital could
not be induced to build a modern
hotel in so small town. Again War
renton got busy and built a modern
little hotel of 40 odd rooms and hired
manager to run. it. They paid their
hotel manager salary of $1,S00 a
year with board for the manager and
his family thrown in. The hotel,
started in 1920, has been such a sue
cess that Warrenton is now contem-
plating an addition of % rooms to
its hotel. The laundry is coming next.
Besides its electric lights, water,
sewerage, ice plant, hotel and rail
road, Warrenton has a handsome
town hall, $150,000 worth of street
paving, modern school plant and
almost everything a town ten times
its size would be proud Of.

Y. N. C. A. WORK Lines UP
With HOME, SCHOOL, CHURCH
Method Of Developing Youth Along
Lines Of Righteousness Without
Expense of Costly Buildings
SEVERAL LINES OF
WORK ARE EXPLAINED

The general shake up,. the read
justment, the social reconstruction
that has followed the war, and will
continue for a considerable period.
have created an unprecedented need
for the development of Christian
character in our adolescent youth
through the symmetrical develop
ment of body, mind and spirit. A
great opportunity has been created
to direct social and economic ideals
along the lines of Righteousness and
brotherly love.
The race is on between Christiani-
ty and materialism as to which will
dominate the new era upon which the
world has entered.
The You..g Mems Christian Associ-
alton was the organization of the
hour at the beginning of the war be-
cause it had a tested and successful
method, experience, organization,
leadership and available resouces.
Everything seems to indicate that
an unacceptable responsibility rests
upon it again now, for the same rea-
sons.
Fortunately, method has been de-
veloped during recent years which
promises to meet the present re-
quirements and is not dependent upon
the possibility of Immediately raising
large funds for new buildings. We
call it Community Y. M. C. A work.
Community work is not 50 much a
method as a point of view, distinct
i've policy of Association work.
1t seeks to relate the Association
to the whole life of young men and
boys of the community in which a
way as to more effectively further
their symmetrical development in
mind, body and spirit and their enlist
ment in Christian usefulness.
This policy recognizes the fact that
the home, school, church and city
government, and industry are prima-
ry institutions in the community,
while the Association is their supple
ment in the interest in young men
and boys. 1t is the Association obi
cation to do things not only apart
from these institutions, but in col
laboration with them, to the end that
they themselves may function more
effectively.
How II Operates
When the Community Young Mems
Christian Association gets down to
business it will operate along the
following lines;-
|. Cooperation with home.
a. Home visitation by leader.
b. Parents conference for consid-
Grafton of boys rooms, vacation, etc
c. Remembering boys birthdays,
etc.
d. Social in the home.
e. Encourage reading by parents
of books on sex education and home
training.
f. Encourage thrift.
&. Father and son get together.
2. Cooperation with the church.
a. Helping establish organized
classes with boys.
b. Enter Sunday School Older
Boys Council and training class.
c. Older Boys Conferences, local,
county and state.
d. Father and sons Sundays and
banquets.
e. interviewing all boys regard
ing their Christian life.
I. Making possible physical pro-
gram in the churches.
z. Christian citizenship training
program for the churches.
h. Promote Boys Scout program.

The town of Warrenton is about
the same size as Marshville. 1t has
a record unequaled by any other town
in the state. The statement was given
out a few years ago that it had bet
ter record for good health than any
other town in North Carolina. But
the most notable thing about it is its
business achievement. The following
story is carried by the Elizabeth City
independent:
II any one wants to know just how
far the public can safely go into the
ownership of public utilities, let him
ask Judge John H. Kerr, of Warren
ton. Judge Kerr says we can go a
long way and he knows.
Judge Kerr halls from the town of
Warren on, the county seat of the
little county of Warren. Warren
ton is gwen population of less than
a thousand by the census of 1920 but
Warrenton owns its own railroad, its
own water and sewerage, its electric
light service, its ice plant and its
hotel. And now Warrenton is think
ing of building a municipal laundry,
to be followed by a municipal bakery.
Why shouldn't town feed and lodge
its guests, wash its own clothes and
bake its own bread, as well as man.
ufacture its own lights and water.
Warrenton learned to do things for
itself after the Seaboard Air Line
Railway ran through Warren county
and left Warrenton three miles away
from its tracks. Back in 1884 War
renton issued $4,000 in bonds and
built railroad of its own from
Warrenton to Warren Plains. The
distance was only three miles and
you could build and equip three miles
of railroad somehow, in those days,
for $4,000.

WASHINGTON, Nov. S.--Presi-

says:
''In the beginning Of our country
the custom was established by the de-
vout fathers Of observing annually u
Day of Thanksgiving for the bounties
and protection which Divine Provi-
dcnce had extended throughout the
year. 1t has come to be perhaps the
most characteristic of our National

is fitting formally to direct attention
to this ancient institution Of our peo-

DEPOSED
BY KEMAL|STS;
REPUBLIC FORMED
People Declared Sovereign,
Caliph to Be Elected From
OSman Dynasty.
RELIGIOUS HEAD ONLY.
Complete Control of Nation
Now in Hands of Angora
Assembly.

BERLIN, Nov. 3.-The Turkish
National Assembly at Angora has de-
clared the Turkish people sovereign,
has dethroned tho Sultan and reserved
the right to elect the caliph without
dynastie privileges. Il has also pro-
claimed Republic of the Turkish
State, replacing the former Ottoman
Empire.
LONDON, Nov. 8 (Associated
Press) A report that the Turkish
Nationalist Assembly at Angora has
passed a law suppressing the Sui
tanate Of Turkey and the law of sue
cession to the throne, is contained in
q despatch to the Exchange Telegraph
from its Constantinople correspond
ent, which quotes dispatches from
Angora.
Such action by the National As
sembly would mean, OF course, that
the Sultan is deposed. In the future,
according TO the dispatches, the only
Caliph in Turkey will be periodically
elected without Government preroga-
tive, all power being in the hands
OF the National Assembly,
One effect of the action OF tho
Turkish Nationalist Government at
Angora in relation to the Sultan will
be u revival OF the effort OF the Emir
of Afghanistan to claim the Cali
phate, it is believed in diplomatic
circles here, as the Emir is now the
most powerful crowned Moslem ruler
In any case, the British Indian
authorities feel that the action taken
at Angora will undermine the Mos
lem agitation in India against the
British, which has been based on al
legged British mistreatemnt of the
Sultan.
CONSTANrINOPLE, Nov. lAs-
ISOLATED Press) The Angora Assem-
bly, last night decided unanimously
that it Is invested with sovereign
rights and that the Turkish Nation
alIst Government is the keystone OF
the caliphate, and to-day the news
papers carry these headlines:
Ottoman Empire collapsed. In its
place there has arisen new National
Turkish state-Sultanate abolished
The decision of the Assembly was
announced by a salute OF l01 guns.
Immediately the soldiers and civilians
began to celebrate the occasion to the
blare OF military bands and the bright
flares of torch bearers.
Two resolutions, were unanimously
adopted by the Assembly. The first
said that by virtue Of organic statute
and representation, sovereign rights
had been vested in an lnalienable and
indivisible manner in the moral person
Of the Angora Assembly, which was
the only emanation Of the nation
The second resolution declared the
caliphate was vested In the Imperial
family of the Osman dynasty, but

,One-Third "Owner" Denies
He Ever Received Penny
of Profits.
DID FAVOR FOR MURPHY
Company Paid City Nothing
for -Four Years Under
Contract.

A beam OF light was thrown upon
the conduct of the West Farms Bus
Company to-day when Louis Karsch,
once a Bronx resident, now living in
Mount Vernon, testified before the
Transit Commission that he never
knew he was Secretary Of the organi-
zation until he read It in the news
papers two days ago.
Karsch said he remembered signing
paper for the late Arthur II. Muir
ply, Democratic leader of the Bronx,
hut did not know it's contents.
Asked TO explain what he imagined
the paper to be, he replied he
thought It had something to do with
NIurphy's desire TO get some stock in
a garage. a procedure in which Muir
ply did not want his name to appear.
From a transcript read TO the COM
mission. Karsch's name appeared as
one OF The incorporators Of the West
Farms Bus Company. The other in
corpcrators were Ferdinand Franken-
berg, who has already been a wit
ness, and Christian Dorchardt.
Frankenberg testified the $17,1Jo net
profits of the bus company from May
l3, 1922, to Oct. II, 1922, were split
three ways, he taking s5.717 and an
equal sum being paid in checks to
Cash" subsequently indorsed by
Thomas II. O'Neill, Under-Sherlff In
the Bronx, and the Arthur, II. Murphy
estate.
When Karsch was asked if he had
ever received any share in their
profits, he replied he never received
any money from Murphy or any one
else as bus line profit.
Capt. Reddington, counsel for the
Commission, said subpoena has
been issued for Burchardt.
Q. Did you attend any meeting of
:he idcorporators of this company?

company.
