Judge Bell, in fixing the bond for Johnson's temporary release from custody, subject to the action of North Carolina officers in seeking formal extradition in the face of his refusal to return voluntarily to that state to' answer charges pending against him there, allowed .20 days under the laws of this state, for steps to be taken for Johnson's return to North Carolina.

ONLY POSTOFFICE OBSERVED FRIDAY AS MEMORIAL DAY The Mouthpiece GAFFNEY, Banks and Other Institutions Remained Open. No Exercises Held Here BUSINESS UNAFFECTED While the postoffice at Gaffney, and postoflices at other points in Cherokee county, observed Friday, May 30, as national Memorial Day by remaining closed throughout 'the day, there were no other signs in the business life of city and county indicating that the day was anything other than the common run of days throughout the year. Banks in the city and throughout the county, express, telephone and telegraph offices remained open for business during the usual hours for business, giving the day anything but holiday aspect.

Lack of observance of the day here was not out of keeping with practise in practically all the smaller cities and counties throughout the South and the nation. Special memorial programs, promoted by the American Legion and subsidiary organizations, were carried out in the cities and places where the American Legion has effected active organizations, but in those cities there was an absence of oldtime holiday enthusiasm, the public, generally, giving its attention to the practical affairs of the day. HUMPHRIES CUT BY MILL EMPLOYE Personal Difficulty Took Place In Blacksburg Mill.

A few days ago Editor DePriest, of Shelby, was in the office and picking up a volume glanced through it with the remark, that "it is the most remarkable book that has come off the press in the last decade, and how in the world you are managing to give it with a year's subscription to The Times, I am at a loss to know." "The reason, Mr. DePriest, is very plain, we are giving our subscribers the percentage that we would have to pay a subscription solicitor if we were to hire one to work for us," we explained. VISITED SHELBY, N. C. Dr.

Cecil V. Cook, Mr. J. N. Lipscomb, Mr.

W. A. Turner, Mr. R. A.

Dobson and Mr. J. M. Bramlett, were in Shelby, N. one afternoon last week to observe the Bantist pastorium in that city, and its appointments.

The visiting committee had in mind the building of a new. torium for the First Baptist church. Delivering what is said to have been one of the most inspirational sermons ever delivered in Limestone College auditorium to any graduating class in the many decades of its existence, Rev. Dr. Cecil V.

Cook, pastor of the First Baptist church here, preached before the students and a vast throng of their friends and relatives in the auditorium at Limestone College yesterday at 11 a. m. After the organ prelude, "Movement from Sonota," which was rendered by Mr. James H. Rogers on the organ, the student body entered followed by the faculty and other college officials, singing the processional.

Very beautiful indeed were the scores of mellow voices as they sang that old hymn: "Jerusalem, the golden, With milk and honey blest, Beneath thy contemplation, Sink heart and vice oprest; What joys await us there; That radiancy of glory! What bliss beyond compare!" And on through this beantiful hymn until they had taken their places reserved in the front of theauditorium, and while the speaker: and officials were taking their places, on the stage. The invocation was then delivered; by Dr. Granberry, and the congregational hymn was sung by the stu-, dents and the audience. Dr. Cook then in a clear, resonent voice, read the seripture lesson from the 11th chapter of Hebrew and "The was sung by the audience, after which a nost beautiful prayer was offered by Rev.

A. L. Gunter, pastor of the Buford Street Methodist church, then the Glee Club delivered a pretty anthem, "Love Devine." Taking Hi stext from the 20th verse, 6th chapter of Ist Corinthians, "God and My Life," Dr. Cook begun his sermon, "What one does in this life is not of much importance unless it is in direct concordance with the will of God," said Dr. Cook, as he held up a godly life before those who were about to enter out into careers for themselves.

He called attentin of his hearer to the fact that hundreds and thousands of students were going out of schools and colleges at this season of the year and! were not asking God to direct them along the line of their professional life that they were accepting. "Every life that is in the fellowshin must do what God wishes and follow Him. He has a plan for one and His plans must be done; not only has God a plan for everyone, but He has plans for every na ion," said Dr. Cook with all the force he could command. Then hepointed out that to question God's plans, were utter folly for us.

"God' had a plan when He commissioned Abraham. He had a plan when Joseph was dispatched to Egypt. He had a plan when Moses was saved. by Pharoh's daughter. He had a plan when he consecrated Samuel for his whole life with him.

He had plan that David should again erect the great temple. He had a plan in choosing John when he went out to do the great work. He had a plan when Paul went out. and carried the gospel to the people in words and letters that could be understood. If God then exists, then the important thing is to do what He wants done," said Dr.

Cook. He told a very pretty story of 1 a missionary and his wife who had disembarked at Capetown, Africa, and who after they had accumulated: their supplies, had started inland with no place in view as their destination, and after several days of weary travel, one night learned that a company of several hundred Hottentots were encamped nearby on their way to Capetown to ask that a missionary be sent them."
