To protect a person always
from exercising his spiritual mus

and flabby. Should you shut a
child away from the world and
keep him from contact with evil
until he is thirty years old, then
turn him loose, he would be unfit
to combat the dangerous influ-
ences of life.

MORE VITAL LIVING
THEME FOR PASTOR
Rev. ID. A. Petty Announces Subject
for Shocco Church Next Sum
day Afternoon

More vital living will be the theme
of Rev. D. A. Petty's New Year ser
mon at Shocco church of the Middle
burg M E. charge Sunday afternoon
at o'clock, the pastor announced to-
day. Mr. Petty urged ''all the mem
bership and the whole community" to
be present at this initial service for
1888 at that church. The precise sub
ject of the sermon will be, "Out OF
Formal Religion into New and Vital
Life This outline of the sermon was
given by Mr.. Petty today:
"The new year symbolizes new life.
It indicates the very nature of man,
that he is not static, but changing.
and always capable of changing to a
.tetter and higher life. Jesus came to
see to it that man would not utilize
his changeable nature to become
worse, but to become better.
"Just as out of the formal religion
of the Jews Jesus brought forth a
new type of manhood, so He is ever
changing bad me and making them
good. He is ever making good men
better. He stands above our world to-
day commanding people everywhere
TO DredK out VI IHeIr IOIIIleI eHSldV-
ing Iits into a new life of freedom
and noble living. He speaks to our
liberty-loving age, IF the Son shall
make you free you shall be free in
deed''
eff God brings forth a new year
every day new and different from any
that proceeded it, no day ever live !
before, every day chock full of new
opportunities, no one is able even to
guess what the year will bring forth
how much more sure are we that
every life may be new in that new
year. The year will be different, and
the life may be even more diffaren'
and new; for a Divine power is avail
able to make it different. Million

luck in a third try and truth in the.
old "try, try again" adage.
Third: A blood feud here, with Con-
gresham Graham Barden faced with
the candidacy of young Charlie Aber-
nethy, Jr., son of the districts long
time congressional representative.
Both are from New Bern, which will
not help either if Ed Summersill, On
slows former State senator, or Henry
Stevens, Duplin's past national com
mander of the American Legion,
should decide to take a fling.
Fourth: Harold Cooley is destined
to go back unopposed unless his for
mer friends and playmates turn on
him and nominate a strong anti-ad-
| ministration (State) man against him.
His district is additionally "agin
those in power at Raleigh and many
of Cooley's grass root hackers feel he
has been hobnobbing and fraternizing
with the enemy too often of late.
Fifth: A. D. Lon) Folger, Surrys

mittee has the inside track to succeed
Frank Hancock, abdicating to go after
the scalp of Bob Reynolds. Announc-
ed opposition to Lon is so far furnish
ed only ~ Marshall Kurfess, Win
ston-Salem, who isn't expected to cut
much ice. Forsyth labor leaders may
get out somebody to heckle Lon, at
least
Sixth: Incumbent "Bill" Umstead, of
Durham, sits rather pretty by reason
of the fact that so many different
Guilford men are being touted as his
opposition-among them City Judge
Earl Rives, Textile Tycoon Ben Cone
and Real Estate Auctioneer George
Penny. E. E. Jones, young Burling-
ton lawyer, has tentatively announced
Seventh: Bayard Clark will go back

Hanover's John Jay Burney took n 40

the fur would fly for fair, but Burney
is cycling \ judgeship
Eighth: Walter Lambeth is almost
certain to be unopposed, with the tare
possibility that labor may get it's back
up enough to enter a man.
Ninth: Major A. J. Bulw.nkle, who
voted for the wage-hour bill, is likely
to have his usual hot race with Char
lotte's Ham Jones, who pulled out two
years ago to get his breath for a fresh
start.
Tenth: Farmer Bob" Doughton re-
presents this district and will CON
tinue to do so as long as he wants to

REVUE is HERALDED
AS OUTSTANDING HIT

If the plaudits of thousands of
theater-goers may be used as cri-
terion, Sollie Childs' new Partisan
Follies' is the height in entertain
ment. Combining vaudeville, musical
comedy. farce comedy circus, and
minstreley, this outstanding revue OF
fers the local fans something new and
original in stage entertainment.
"Parisian Follies" comes to the
Vance theater, beginning January 4.
If anything is missing in the way
of entertainment value, Impressario
Childs will esteem it n personal favor
if the Jack is pointed out TO MIN. 10
enumerate the various forms of ar
tistry included in "Parisian Follies"
would be to mention almost every
known style of stage entertainment.
Here is a stage reveuo which runs
the gaunt of laughter from A to 2,
from slow chuckles to uproarious,
side-splitting laughter Leading the
laugh-makers of the show are Ward
and Volkes, clever pair of big-time
comics in a scene employing the most
nonsensical material, leaving the
theater-goers rolling in their seats.
To say that "Parisian Folljes" is IN
the top ranks of stage revues IN the
country today would re putting it
mildly. It's diversity of talent and we'll
balanced arrangement guarantee uni
que entertainment.

AUTO PLATE SALES
NOW TOTAL 5,244
554 Sold on Thursday For
Biggest Day Since Tags
Were Offered

State automobile license plates for
1888 sold through Wednesday of this
week amounted to 5,244 sets, it was
announced today by w. G. Gates, man.
ager of the local branch office of the
Carolina Motor Clus, which is hand
ling sales at the local office.
Wednesdays sales amounted to a
total of 554, that figure including 449
automobile plates, 70 for trucks and
35 for trailers.
During 1887 a total of about 1000
sets of licenses were sold by the local
office, which means that only about
half of the car owners who normally
supply themselves with State license
plates at this office have as yet made
their purchases for the new year.
Mr.. Gates said today all car owners
should get their licenses Immediately
in order to be able to drive their We
hicles after January 1. There was a
steady stream of applicants at the Of
flee today, though little congestion.
The system of dispensing the plates
has been developed to the point where
the tags are passed out at fast clip
when large numbers of motorists con-
gr, cate at one time.
w. T. Lands, of Oxford, of the
Motor Vehicle Bureau inspection ser
vice, was at the office all this week
and said today that great many cars
are still being operated without the
1893 plates. The law requires that the
licenses shall be displayed ~ all cars
operated after January 1. Those re-
fusing to make provision for compli-
ance with the law will be liable to ar
rest, it was explained.
