No Automobiles Allowed At This
Meeting
An unusual meeting was held at
Macedonia church in Hart county
some three weeks ago. It has been
called a wagon meeting. The ser
vices were of the regular order held
at this Methodist Church, but the
word was sent out to the effect that
everybody who came on this oc
casion must come without the use of
an automobile. They must come in
wagons or walk. The meeting cre
ated quite a bit of interest in the
community and the folks around
took to it like a duck to water.
Some of the college boys in the
neighborhood had college friends
visiting them. They gladly crawled
up into the wagon and drove the
mules on down to church. Many
went a walking. Only one car was
present on this occasion. One old
citizen of the community whose
health would not permit his riding
in a wagon was allowed to use his
car. And this was the one and only
car present! at Macedonia on this
particular occasion. The Rev. Mr.
Stanley, pastor of Canon charge,
was the author of the idea, and it
proved very popular. ,

ATHENS CHURCH SENDS BELL
TO KOREA
The First Presbyterian church of
Athens has forwarded a bell to the
Southern Presbyterian Mission in
Korea. The church made this gift
to Rev. L. 0. McCutcheon, a mission
ary who visited them this spring
from Korea, and it is being forward
ed to be placed in the Fourth Pres
byterian church of Chunju, Korea.
I here are very few clocks in Korea
and so the members there have to
depend upon the church bells to
notify them of services and the
hour, so that a bell is of tremendous
service in that land for these rea
sons.
The Banner-Herald tells this in
teresting history of the bell: “The
bell that is being sent by the Pres
byterian church has quite a history.
It was cast in a bell foundry in
Troy, N. Y., in 1850, and for a num
ber of years has been in the Samuel
Lane Chapel of the First Presby
terian church in East Athens. The
church is not now conducting ser
vices at this chapel, so felt that it
would be most appropriate to send
the bell on to Korea where it could
be of such great sex-vice. At the
same time it is a very happy cir
cumstance that it can be sent as
coming from the First Presbyterian
church, so that the name of the
sainted Dr. C. W. Lane, former pas
tor of the First Presbyterian church,
can continue to be associated with
this bell, as coming from the chapel
named in honor of his son, Dr. Sam
Lane.”

Black’s Creek Last Wed.
As was published, the Lord Re

3, and was called to order at 10.30
by J. E. J. Lord, the president. First
song, “When I Can Read My Titles
Clear,” led by the president. Pray
er, by the chaplain, Jesse L. Lord.
Song, “I Know My Name Is Written
There.” Welcome address, by Sam
Lord. Response, by W. P. Frost.
This being an off year as regards
the election of officers for the re
union, the minutes of the 1931
meeting were called for. Read by
the secretary, and adopted. Song,
by the ehoirster, Sam Lord.
Prof. Harmon was then called on
for a talk. He responded, with a
very good and an appropriate talk,
which was very much enjoyed by
all.
Also, Joel T. of Athens, was
called for, and made a very good
and instructive talk.
At this point, the president, J. E.
J. Lord, was‘called on for a speech,
but said he would not make a
speech, but would talk. So your
humble secretary is not in a position
to say whether his was a talk or a
speech, but will say it was good,
whatever it was, and was to the
point, regardless of whether it was
a talk or a speech.
Song, “When the Roll is Called
Up Yonder,” by the choister, Sam
Lord.
At this point, the secretary read
a letter from Fredrick H. Lord, Bell
haven, Va., to J. Mack Lord, Com

Belle Lord, Leary Lord and Lady'
Lord, with Mr. Llewellyn Patman at’
the piano.

Sam Lord, was very beautifully
rendered.
At this point, the president calk

posed of Mr. Homer Grier, New
Holland, Ga.; Mr. Clyde E. Brown.
Shelby, N. C.; Mr. J. E. J. Loftf.
Commerce, Ga.; Mr. Llewellyn Pat
man, Commerce, Ga.; and was vex-y
much enjoyed by all. ,
Joel T. Lord, Athens, Ga., was
called on, and gave a good talk.
Duet, “I Want to Make Heaven
My Home,” by Lollie Belle Lord
and Clisby Lord, with Mr. Patman
at the piano, was very fine.
Rev. George Wallace was called
on and responded with a good talk.
We have all heard of Mother’s
Day, and Mother’s Song, but Lollie
Belle Lord and Clisby Lord sang a
duet called Daddies Song, which
was very fine. The title of the
above is “Daddy Is Waiting For
Me.”
The afternoon was spent in sing
ing, and in talks by different ones,
all of which were very good, and to
the point. Asa whole, we think
this was the best reunion we have
ever had. We do not mean by this
that we had the largest crowd we
have ever had, but the spirit and
co-operation that prevailed were the
controlling factors of the day.
While on this, your humble secre

Martin Institute, The
County High School
Of Jackson County
Martin Institute has been desig
nated the County High School for
Jackson County. When a school
has been designated as the County
High School it must meet the fol
lowing conditions: That charges for
tuition must be uniform, for both
the.boy or girl that lives in the coun
try and the boy or girl that lives in
the city. In other words, if one is
charged, the other must be charged
the same amount. The State gives
to such schools one thousand dollars
to assist the local school to pay for
teachers and expenses for operating
the school that has been designated
as the County High School; there
fore, in order to get the money for
the school, the country boys and
girls are admitted to Martin Insti
tute without any tuicion, the same
as the boys and girls from the City
of Jefferson.
Martin Institute will re-open on
Monday, September 5, 1932, for the
school year 1932-33. An invitation
is extended to all boys and girls of
Jackson County to come to Martin
Institute for High School work with
out any tuition. We do reqfiire
every student that enrolls to pay an
entrance fee of two dollars. This
will be all charges for year.
The standard of Martin Institute
is as high as any of the accredited
High Schools of the State. The
Accrediting Commission has put this
school in Group 1. That means that
our library, laboratory, teaching
staff and program of studies meets
the needs of the students who at
tend this school. If you wish to at
tend college after graduation, you
will be admitted to the Freshman
Class without an examination. If
the boys wish, they can get four
years in Vocational Agriculture,
which will prepare them to be better
farmers. The girls can get four
years in Home Economics, which
will prepai-e them to be better
home makers. If you wish to go in
business, you will be prepared to
handle the details of business after
having attended high school.
Every boy and girl who has com
pleted the elementary school, or
passed the Seventh Grade, is eligi
ble to attend this school without any
tuition. In the graduating class of
1932 there were forty-six members,
nine from the City of Jefferson, and
thirty-seven from the county. No
one paid any tuition. Hence, all
pupils who have completed the ele
mentary school are eligible for
membership, and the school extends
an invitation to all the boys and
girls of the county to come to Mar
tin Institute to high school.
A high school education pays in
dollars more than an elementary
school; likewise, college education
will pay more than a high school
education. The average maximum
yeai’ly income of the untrained man
is $1,200; the high school gi-aduate,
$2,200; and the college man or wo
man, $6,000. At the age of sixty,
the untrained man will have earned
$45,000; the high school trained
worker, $78,000; and the college
trained, $150,000. At this rate, the
high school graduate will receive in
a life time $33,000 more than the
untrained. This is due to twelve
years of schooling. Thus one day
of school is worth $15.27. Money
is not the only thing to be consid
ered in getting an education. You
are able to render yourself greater
service, and your fellow man great
er service. Then, too, you are bet
ter prepared for the comforts and
pleasures of life if y° u aIT * 1 ‘
Dr. Frank Crane, in an article
I some time ago, said, “Now is the
time to prepare for the next de
pression. That the reason the de
pression was so bad is the fact that
we had left off our education in or
der to make money, and were not
ready for the depression when it
came, with all the discomforts and
hardships that go with it. He also
urged that everybody doxall in their
power to prepare themselves’ now
for the tomorrows that lie ahead.”
We cannot afford to wait until times
get better to go to school and com
plete our education. What we need
to do is to complete our high school
training now, v so that we will be
ready to take our place when times
are better. The boy or girl who is
trained will be ready to step in and
take his place, while the fellow who
is untrained will not be ready to
| get the most out of good times- So,
