From Days Gone By Nov. 3, 1932

 November 3, 1932.

    Continuing their triumphant  march toward a championship, Wrightsville High completed a 6 to 0 victory over Emanuel County Institute at Graymont-Summit, here at the fairgrounds. They play Louisville next. In the 20 games that Wrightsville has played since Coach Lee McDonald took over, have lost only 2 games. ECI last year and Gray in a post-season game.

    The county will have a county policeman, action taken by Ordinary W. J. Flanders announced after the Grand Jury recommended it. A committee was formed of himself, Morris T. Riner, W. R. Jackson, Jim T. Drake and R. M. Brantley. They chose to employee Mr. Vernon Raines for this purpose.

    The law may move slowly in some instances but it eventually achieves its objective. This is more or less clearly demonstrated in the fact that an auto stolen from the Editor's son over 2 years ago, was recovered in Chicago by that police department. The car, a new Ford Roadster was stolen in Montgomery, Alabama on October 17, 1930.

    A fire of undetermined origin destroyed the barn and garage of Mr. Will Parker at Raines Crossroads while they were away from home. Parker had just completed gathering his corn and other feedstuff in the barn. Some livestock burned up also. He lost all his tools, automobile and a Delco lighting system. He had no insurance. Mr. C. A. Fountain of Adrian files for bankruptcy.

    A farmer who is interested in building up his soil should have seen the field of Crotalaria, Spectabilis, the new legume grown by Mr. E. J. Sumner, 7 miles south of Wrightsville. It made maximum growth of 6 feet in heighth, and very heavy foliage. it will double the yield of his next crop. It was introduced from Africa by the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture. It is a soil builder for livestock but they will not eat it green. Its considered 3 times as valuable as cowpeas, 4 times as velvet beans and 8 times as beggarweed. Thirty to forty thousand pounds per acre was not uncommon.

    Mr. M. B. Wheeler died at home in Kite after a several days illness, but his death was not unexpected. Born April 15, 1873 he was 59 years old. Surviving are his wife, children, Virgil, Duncan, Mrs. Eva Anderson and Mrs. Estelle Anderson. He was buried at Gumlog.

    The entire city was saddened over the passing of Mrs. A. F. Flanders, wife of Dr. Flanders, druggist. She was 47 and sick for about 4 months. Born and reared in Crawfordville, but lived here many years. Her parents were Mr. & Mrs. S. H. Rhodes. She married in 1909 to Dr. Flanders. Two children, Miss Sarah Frances and A. F. Flanders, Jr. Two sisters Miss Alger Rhodes and Mrs. James I. Spell. She was buried in Westview.

    Too many folks expect to get along without hard work. The fellow who is willing to work, do without many things that maybe he would like to have, who learns to spend a little less than he earns, will get along. He may not be able to cut as high stubble as some, but he will live worth while.
