M. R EDITOR TELLS
ABOUT CONFERENCE
Relates Incident of Honor
ing George B. Harris
on Birthday
Last week's regular issue of the
Methodist Protestant Herald, of
Greensboro, official organ of that de
nomination in this State, carried gen
erous reports of activities at the re
cent conference in this city. Dr. J. E.
Pritchard, former pastor here, is
editor of the Herald, and spoke feel
ingly of the hospitality of Henderson
people.
Included in the story about the con
ic! enee was this paragraph:
"The annual conference happened
to be in session on the birthday of
our venerable brother. George B
Harris, who was 84 years young on
that day. The conference took note
of this great occasion by pausing to
honor him." The conference reporter.
Rev. J. L. Trollingcr, overlooked this
incident in his reports to the Daily
Dispatch.
As to the entertainment here, Dr.
Pritchard, who is a Greensboro pastor
in addition to his editorial duties,
wrote the following:
"A report of the conference with
out any reference to the pastor and
members of the entertaining church
and the people of Henderson in gen
eral would be a monstrosity. While
this was the pastor’s first experience,
he did it like a veteran, leaving noth
ing undone for the comfort and con
venience of the conference. The
church lived up to its fine reputation.
This church has entertained the an
nual conference so many times, it
has become accustomed to doing it
and getting very near perfection. The
editor could not be in all the homes to
see what was going on, hut he did
have the feeling that he was in the
best one in Henderson, that of the
Hon. J. H. Bridget", who is not only
a lawyer of ability but a former
treasurer of the North Carolina An
nual Conference, M. E. Church, South,
and a. Christian gentleman of whom
any community might be proud.
Brother Bridgets is the leader of the
prohibition forces in Vance county
and is a leader to he trusted."
ASSAULT CASES ARE
TRIED BY RECORDER
Assault cases predominated today’s
session of recorder's court, before Re
corder R. E. Clements.
Kelly Harris, white, was charged
with assault with a deadly weapon,
hut the prosecuting witness was al
lowed to withdraw the warrant upon

AUTOMOBILE FIRE
CALLS OUT FIREMEN
An automobile fire, caused by a
short circuit of wires, called out fire
men Sunday afternoon about 3 o’clock
I to South Garnett street. No damage
; was reported by Fire Chief E. T.
Shepherd, other than burned wires.
Lookin' On
By a Bystander
I was one of those 46,880 lunatics
who sat three to four hours in a driz
zle of rain Saturday to see that Duke-
Carolina game. Probably it is true
that never before have that many
crazy people been together at one
time outside an asylum. But when
that many folks will brave a misting
rain, a breezy November wind, defy
flu, pneumonia, sore throat, hoarse
ness. and what have you, to see a
football game, or even fight a war,
there is a curious complex some
where. eh?
Well, at any rate I was there. And,
boy. did old alma mamma do her
stuff. L betcha there weren’t 880 of
that crowd that had any real idea
Duke would win that game.
Our crowd got there nearly two
hours ahead of game time—you see
vve wore heeding the admonition of
Ihe authorities to come early. We had
to do something, and so. between a
long brush with dear old Ed Earn
hardt and W. C. Martin, wc just walk
ed around the rim of the stadium
from one flank of the horseshoe to
the other. Alongside to port were
three or four Carolina frosh—or at
least undergrads—talking about the
game. One of 'em said. "Soon as we
make that first touchdown, my ticket
to the Rose Bowl is ready." J just
couldn’t help feel sorry for him after
wards.
Somebody said 500.000 cigarettes
were consumed by the crowd during
!he afternoon, hut I ain't seen no
where any estimate of how many bar
rels of liquor were guzzled. And. just
lake it from me. it was evident on
all sides. Couldn’t exactly recognize
my that had a Henderson label on it,
ut I gut no doubts plenty of that
kind was there.
Right hack of where wo were sit
ting were some ladies who. shivering
in that misty rain, produced a
thermos bottle of hot coffee to warm
themselves up some. A couple of guys
nearby were all teed up and still tak
ing it. They offered the ladies some,
and when the said fair sex declined,
the guzzlers commented they would
go and get some zweiback (guess
that’s spelled right, it's been several
years since we needed any at our
house) for them. But the fellows were
juile generous. They offered all their
neighbors drinks and insisted upon
forcing their hospitality upon them.
They said they had all kinds on them,
just name your brand. Next row in
front of 'is some fellows accommodat
ed the hoys and accepted a bottle of
their hospitality. Needless to say the
bottle never came hack. One fellow
out there was drinking white lightn
in’ and chasing it with red liquor!
But, aside from the remorse of those
who v/anted Carolina to win, every
body had a good time. It was a great
crowd. It was the biggest bunch of
folks ever to look at a football game
in the South. I never saw and never
was in as big a crowd but once be
fore —several years ago in the Yankee
Stadium when 71.000 saw Babe Ruth
fail to hit a home run. I was in the
crowd then, but didn't see all of them,
for a lot of folks were upstairs over
head.
Incidentally, it would be interesting
if those who are priding themselves
so much on statistics of the game
would let us know just how many bad
•olds there are around over North
Carolina today as the result of sitting
hrough four hours of drizzling rain
Saturday afternoon. All I can say is i
got mine—and a sho’ nuff one. But if
it don't get no worse than the cold, I
call it a good trade for what I saw
and what happened.
That will be all this time.
