Virginia Power Co. OfficialsHere to Look Into ProspectsFor New Power Line Project

Willing to Furnish TownCurrent for I 1-2

Cents KilowattMr. J. T. Chase, manager of the

Carolina division of the Virginia Elec-tric Power Co., accompanied by Mr.Gardner Rogers, engineer for thecompany, both located at Rocky Mountwere in town Wednesday afternoonand discussed the question of extend-ing their power lines from RoanokeRapids at an informal meeting withcitizens at the town.

They state that their company willsoon begin the construction of a pow-er line from Roanoke Rapids southto Rocky Mount, Wilson, Greenville,Kins ton, New Bern, Washington, Wil-liarnston, and on to their Norfolkbranch line, possibly at Suffolk, orperhaps going through Bertie, Hert-ford, and Northampton to some pointnear Weldon, or it might find it bet-ter to go by Scotland Neck and Hali-fax. All of these details of connect-ing such a loop would be determinedby the findings of a survey now beingmade. .

They will agree to furnish electrici-ty to this town at about 1 V-2 centsper kilowatt hour at their meter, inwhich case the town would have toretail the current.

They said their company wouldbuild lines of the steel-tower typeand with a capacity for at least 38,000volts.

Messrs. Chase and Rogers are greatly pleased with Eastern Carolina, andhave faith in its development to theextent that it will be a large user ofelectricity.

They are willing to make a con-tract with the town for any periodthe town may wish, up to 30 years.

They will furnish a detailed propos-al to the town board at an early date.After their proposition ia investigat-ed it is proposed to submit it to thetown people for discussion and con-sideration.

KUGLER NAMEDCOMMISSIONER

Governor McLean Appoints Washing-ton Man Member Highway Com-

mission; Succeeds W. A. Hart

Frank C. Kuglw, retired lumbermanforme: i.iayor of Washington, andchain mm 61 the Houui'ort County roadcommission, Tuesday night namedby Governor McLean as a member ofthe State Highway Commission fromthe-Firpt iiistrtct, to succeed WilliamA. Hart, or Tarboro, who died lastSaturday. The appointment ended themost spirit* 1 con'-est for office thathas occurred during the McLean ar-ministration.

MI shall make no appointment with-out first receiving a definite promisefrom the appointee to devote a largepart of his time to the work of thecommission," Governor McLean toldnewspaper men before the new com-missioner was named.

Mr. Kugler, who received endorse-ment from all parts of the enormousdistrict, which comprises 20 counties,was put forward by Congressman

Lindsay C. Warren and others whointerested themselves in his behalf as

a man who had not only demonstrat-ed his capacity for road work, but asone who could devote a great part ofhis time to the work of the commis-sion, having retired from private bus-iness, and as one who has no axe togrind as Beaufort County has alreadyreceived practically all of its roads.

The name of one of Williamaton'sdistinguished citizens, Hon. ClaytonMoore, was also mentioned very fa-

vorably throughout the district for thecommissioner's office and he wouldprobably have received strong supportin highway circles. But he immedi-ately let his friends know that on ac-count of his law practice he would beunable to accept. Mr. Moore has alsoannounced himself as a candidate forthe office of State senator from' thisdistrict

Others whose names were presented

to the governor included ArchibaldMcDowell, of Halifax, Thomas S.White, of Perquimans, Leon W. Tuck-er, of Pitt; Charles A. Johnson, of

Edgecombe; W. S. Wilkinson, ofNash; and C. H. Jenkins, of Bertie. ,

Robersonville AndWoodland Ti,e 22-All

The Woodland and Robereonvillegirls tied .in the final game of thenortheastern North Carolina champ-ionship series here Wednesday night,22-22, necessitating another game todecide the championship. The teamswere very evenly matched, and putup a good game for the large crowdof spectators.

The date and place for the play-offhas not yet been announced.

To Rebuild WilliamstonTelephone Exchange

Last week the Carolina TelephoneA Telegraph Co. purchased the ex-changes of the Chowan & RoanokeTelephone Co., of Coljeraine. Theyare located at Windsor/Coleraine, Au-landerfl Ahoskie, and Winton. Theywill also build a long-distance circuitto the Eden House bridge and crossthe Sound there, connecting this ter-ritory with that over the sound other

than by the way of Norfolk.The manager, Mr. Hines, of this

district, which is composed of Tar-boro, Williamston, Plymouth, Wind-sor, Aulander, Ahoskie, Coleraine, andWinton, says that all these exchanges

will be rebuilt at once, but William-ston will be first. Owing to the factthat Williamston is a toll center, pass-ing calls for several connecting ex-changes, is probably the reason whyshe will be taken care of first.

--THE ENTERPRISEWEEKLY SERMON

PALM SUNDAY

The Sunday nezt before Easter."And the multitude caat their gar-ments in the roadway, and otherscut branches from the trees andspread them in the way."?St.Matt. 21A

By Rev. C. O. PARDO* j

Next Sunday is known as PalmSunday. For many years the churchhas observed this day because it com-memorates the triumphal entry of ourLord into the city of Jerusalem. Tri-umphal because the multitude acclaim-ed Him and acknowledged Him.

Jesus and His disciples were ontheir way to Jerusalem to keep thefeast of the Passover. The city wasfilled with pilgrims who had comehere for that great and sacred feast.When the news reached them thatJesus was drawing near, the multi-tude cut branches from the trees tocast in the roadway; others spreadtheir garments before Him and manyacclaimed Him and shouted "Hosannato the Son of David," a shout of joyand gladness, at the same time a

cry of prayer. "Hosanna" is a He-brew word and signifies, "Save, I be-seech you." It is a form of blessing

or wishing one well. When the peo-ple cried, "Hosanna to the Son of Da-vid," they were saying, -"Lord, pre-serve this son of David; this King;heap favors and blessings on Him."

In that great throng were manywho knew Jesus because of their ownpersonal experience, the blessings theyhad received from Him. Others whohad heard of Him and still others whodesired to know Him. But the sadpart '.b there were those who hatedHim.

As the cry of Hosanna soundedthrough Jerusalem; as Jesus is ac-claimed King; on this Palm Sunday

when the lowly procession escorted theKing of Heaven into Jerusalem theheavenly hosts bent low to earth a-gain and chanted the glorious nativity

hymn, "Glory to God in the highest,and on earth peace; good will toward

me^."Let us make Palm Sunday live a-

gain in our hearts. He who came toJerusalem amid shouts of praise iswaiting for us to open wide our heartsthat He may come into our lives. Butwe must cast before Him not palmsand garments but our sins, our greed,our selfish desires, that triumphant hemay enter in.

God grant that each of us may re-

reive His grace, His great forgive-

ness; His pardon; His mercy?to the

end that now?today?we may castourselves before Him and by the pow-er of His Hoiy Spirit hear Him say,"Thy sins be forgiven thee." Then,indeed, with joyons hearts we mayshout and sing, "Hosanno to the Sonof David."

Mrs. J. G. Staton the ladiesauxiliary of St Peters church, Wash-ington, when it was in its regularmeeting this week, and talked to themof the thank offering. Mrs. Statonis chairman of the United Thank Offering Committee of the State.

CAR POULTRYTURNED OVER

Car Loaded Here Under Direction ofCounty Agent Wrecked About

Feiir Mile*|}om Here

A car partly loaded with chickenseh route from here to Hobgood bypassenger train, from there to go byfreight to Halifax, where another shipment of chickens was to be taken on

was derailed Wednesday morning. Thecar turned over four miles from Wil-liarnston at the old Burroughs home-stead. It was the last car of thetrain and when it went over becamedetached from the other cars and theydid not leave the track. The causeof the accident is not known but itis supposed that a cross tie must havegiven way.

There were about 10,000 pounds ofchickens on the car, the total capacitybeing about 18,000 lbs A few chick-ens were dead when tue -«ar was got-ten back on the track, but these prob-ably died from suffocation rather thanfrom blows received ill the wreck. Awrecking crew from Roeky Mount hadto be summoned before things couldbe straightened out. The train duehere at 1.15 was delayed until around5 o'clock.

The chickens-had been loaded hereTuesday under the *upervision of

County Agent T. B. BrVndon and werebeing shipped to a northern merchant.

REVIVAL BEINGATTENDED WELL

Strong Sermon Preached Last NightOn "Treusure* on Earth and

Treasures in Heaven"

The meeting at the Baptist Churchwhich the pustor, Kev. Dickey, is con-ducting, is being well attended by thepeople of W illiamston and the sur-lounding community.

'l'he prayer MieetingH that are heldfrom 7.30 each evening beforethe service are growing in interestand enthusiasm and will be a greathelp to the pastor, who in a whole-souled, high-minded and thoroughlyconsecrated manner is trying to helphis church, his town, and especiallythose outside the church by his workand his messages.

Last night a very fine sermon waspreached on "Treasures on earth, andTreasures in Heaven," the text being

taken from the sermon on the Mount.He did not take a biased positon ontreasures on earth, but commendedthrift and economy, especially econo-my, which he says the Bible teaches.A Christian life must be lived along

economical lines. The sermon was pe-culiarly fitting because so many ofour people at home and abroad haveseen their treasures on earth snatch-ed away. The treasures in heaven'can not be taken away, but they are 1laid up ready for -your call. Char-acter made on earth gives one spirit-ual treasures in heaven, and is moreto be desired than riches.

Special Service ForBoys and Girls Sunday

special service for the teachers andpupils of the schools of Williamston,

to be held at their church Sundaynight at eight o'clock.

The Martin County Branch of theFarmers Mutual Fire Insurance As-sociation has been operating for aboutJ2 years, during which time it hasbuilt lor itself fine business recordfor both safety and fairness.

~

it has made its greatest growthwithin Hit- last 10 years. On Decem-ber 31, lUIS, there were only 360 pol-icy holders, with $330,521) insurancein force,-each policy averaging a lit-tle less than SI,OOO. At the close ofthe year 1025, on December 31, therewere 600 members with a total of$895,380 insurance in force.

? The actual fire loss has been 19cents on each SIOO insurance perlu'm during: the last 10 years, whilethe company has paid out 16 cents on

The hundu-d for tornado and lightningdamages, making the total cost onfire, wind, and lightning cost 35c onthe hundred.

The overhead charges, for salaries,stationery, postage, and all otherthings chargeable ;yju>unt to an av-

It will be remembered that in thetornado that swept across the countyfrom Flat Swamp Church, at the I'ittCounty line, to Spellers Ferry, on theBertie line, destroyed much propertyinsured in the Farmers Mutual, everyclaim for which was propmtly adjust-

tual would, indicate that the ratescharged by regular companies are, al-together ton high or they have somedefect in their system.

.These companies, according to thi'.report of Insurance CommissionerStacey W. Wade, charge an averagepremium of 99 cents per SIOO for theyear 1924, which is th*> last year with

A. C. C. TO RE MADE(iRADE 'A'COLLEGE

Is Already on Accredited List ofState Schools; New Plan Will Win

Itecognition Over Whole South

Christian College, at pres-ent located at Wilson, will be placedon the accredited list of the SouthernAssociation of Colleges, if plans nowbeing carried out are completed. Ata special call meeting of the Stateconvention of the Christian Church,held at (ireenville yesterday a reso-lution was passed directing an in-jcrease of the present endowment by$250,000, and to increase buildings andequipment values by $220,000. Alsothe raising from churches and indi-viduals the sum of SIO,OOO annuallyfor the use of the college.

All funds for the endowment areexpected to come from individuals,while a considerable portion of local

1civic and individual contributors willmake up the building fund.

It will become necessary to makeup the annual educational budget ofSIO,OOO from among the churches andsmall contributors.

Competitor) in the field of educa-tion has become so keen from theheavy endowments to church and Statecolleges that it requires very largesums in contributions and endowmentsand equipment to command the ap-proval of the educutional boards, eventhough the smaller schools may be do-ing even better individual work

Final plans for location arid build-ings were left to u special committeecomposed of C. W. Howard, H. Gaitllraxton, A. K. Corey, of Kinston; W.E. Hooker, of Greenville; Richardliagby, of Washington; John W. Wa-ters, of Arapahoe; J. W. Hines, ofRocky Mount; George Hackney, ofWilson; George F. Cuthrell, John As-kew, and C. H. Kuwls, of Raleigh; andW. C. Manning, of Williamstan. Thiscommittee will submit their findingsto the college trustees at an earlydate.

It is expected that satisfactoryplans will be placed before the churchConstituency and preparations made]for sptlßfcriptions within a few months.

Christian College is alreadyan accredited "A" college, ac-cording to the State standard grades,which classes its gruduates in tin-same class as the four-year graduates!of the State university and other col-'leges. Yet it is not recognized a'S a

standard college by the association ofcolleges outside of the State, whichadmits no college without a .reason-ably large endowment.
