as some of them . . . But we be
lieve he would make a wonderful
Governor . . . Shux! What made
me get on this subject ... we
don't want a job with any of
them ... for to tell the truth we
never had s job we got paid for
yet! Which reminds me . . . Be
lieve it or not we had the thrill of
our lives the other night when our
) door bell rang and a great big fine
looking man said “Is this the Of
fice Boy.’’ I said yes, well he knew
the Boss was sick in bed so he had
come to see him . . . we’ve heard
of K.K.K. all our lives . . . which
means you know what . . . and
who do you think that man was?
The National Imperial Wizard
(whatever that is) of the Klan . . .
Mr. J. A. Colescott . . himself,
yes siree! I’d never seen a real
Klanner before . . cept in robes
j once . . and I didn t know how
.
they looked. No, I mean sho nuff
and he stayed a while and
. .
talked and Gosh, I wasn’t even
skeered of him after he had talked
for about an hour . . but he men
tioned reading the Chatterbox . . .
Imagine that! Of course, I apolo
gized immediately for writing
such a Column, and assured him
that I’d never made the payroll
j yet . . and whatter you think . . .
.
HE said he would see what could
be done about that! The last thing
| he said when he went out of the
door was Good-bye . and don’t
forget I'll have to see the Boss
about your getting on the Pal Roll!
Come to think of it . I couldn’t
get along without the Boss and
maybe I’d better tell him to call
that off! Maybe he didn't mean
that like I uster think about the
Klan . . Honest when I was a
.
little shaver I uster read the fun
ny papers and then I’d go to bed
and dream of the K.K.K. coming
and whisking me away up in the
clouds and floating around there,
after they’d left me ... on airy
clouds so far away from my
mamma . . . and then the cloud
would burst . . . and I’d fall miles
and miles and when I woke up I’d
find myself with the breath
knocked out of me on the floor . . .
maybe we better drop that, too.
Just as I get the Boss all primed
to let me build me an outdoor ov
en or grill . . • he wakes me up
early this morning to read me

the rocks to build one . . . but

fertility of the field was retained.
If the farmers of Newton county
will continue to seed lespedeza on
every available acre of land each
year they can double the corn
yield of the county within 10
years. One county in North Car
olina doubled the yield within
15 years when Lespedeza was
practically new and farmers took
to it more slowly. Be sure to
save a seed patch. Count on har
vesting 200 pounds of seed per
acre and leave enough to produce
all the seed you possibly have the
land to seed. Of course you will
make more seed than 200 pounds
per acre if you have a good
stand, but count on the minimum
and play safe. Lespedeza will
make our land rich and rich land
will make us rich. Sow lespedeza

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Youth Crusade
(Continued on Page Twelve)
this county will hold a meeting
Saturday to complete plans for
the movement. Full details will
be announced next week in the
News. All young people who are
interested and desire any inform
ation should contact the pastor of
any of these three churches. All
committees and instructors will
be carried in the News next week.
Pastors in charge are Rev. Chas.
Forester, Rev. H C. Emory and
Rev. L. M. Lyda.
A statement issued last week by
Rev. H. C. Emory in his church
bulletin on “Prayer” which may
be of some help in this Youth
Crusade follows:
“The Church of God reaches
around the World. In many places
in America and elsewhere, the
church people are uniting in
prayer at stated periods each day
to offer prayer for world peace.
It seems that the people of Cov
ington might unite with others in
this world-wide program of
prayer. Surely if ever prayer was
needed it is needed now. Can we
call ourselves Christians and fail
to respond to this world need? Are
you not willing to make your con
tribution to the Kingdom of Heav
en in this way? Can God count on
you to stop a minute or so every
day at twelve o'clock and mingle
your plea with others for world
peace? History proves that when
the Church goes down on its
knees, something always happens.
It is quite possible that God can
not manage the wo\ld as he wills,
unless the Church is harmonized
with Him. The Church knows
one way to tune in with the in
finite—and that is through prayer.
Surely God has not forgotten His
people, but. has the Church for
gotten that God W’orks with hu
man society, only through human
co-operation? Let us unite in
prayer.
