SELMA BOYS GO FISHING IN PAMLICO RIVER (By M.'L. STANCIL) We saw an account of a fishing trip recently that contains The names of Pearce, Deans, Lowry', Howell and Raines, The writer said he could never understand at all How a man could lose his shoe heel by stumbling in a fall. He seems to think, however, that Mr. Lowi'y can explain, But to himself this kind of performance was not very plain. He said a fellow once -started out hunting with his gun. And thought he saw two squirrels in place of one. jiom Communications upon live topics invited, but under all circum stances the sender of such commun- ■the ications must furnish us with his tax r^„0ie. It is not necessary that the the name be published, but we insist +i,p that it be given as an evidence of good faith. Short accounts of weddings, enter- L tainments, club meetings, etc., are Tea invited. The climate down east might have made this mountaineer feel. So much lower, in fact, that he thought he was minus a heel; But when he hung one of his feet and fell down ca-dab. His fellow sportsmen saw that he was running from a crab. thi «r REPUBLICAN TICKET a FOR JOHNSTON COUNTY ; Sheriff—A. J. Fitzgerald. Clerk of Superior Court—W. H. Massey.

Mr. Raines furnished the car and after making the trip and back It was hard to tell his new Ford from a real Pontiac. Mr. Lowry thinks a crab is just as dangerous as a rattlesnake, So if he hadn't lost his shoe heel he might a’ broke his nake. It seems to have been mostly crabs that Mr. Deans caught. But just how it was done the other boys paid little thought. It was easy to see that he w'as catching the crabs all right. And it w'as because he had something to make them bite. He carried in his pocket a little block of something soft. And' the crab seemed to smell it when he held it aloft. Mr. Deans said it had a peculiar odor, and he was right. For the crabs found it by day as well as by night. Mr. Pearce said he caught two fish at a time—“but wait” They told him—“we saw you use one for your bait.” The sweetening of their coffee was left to Mr. Deans ■Who used salt for sugar while laughing in his jeans. Mr. Howell seemied to be very good at the steering wheel, But-he fed gas with his toe and didn’t lose his heal. There was some back seat driving around the curves. But none of them are from Kinston, the writer observes. Average School Cost Per Pupil In State Raleigh, Sept. 15. — Thirty-one cents a day for each pupil attending is the average cost of operating- public schools of North Carolina, according to figures compiled by the United States Office of Education for 1927-28 and released by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction today. Among the sixteen Southern States, the statement issued further says. North Carolina ranks eighth in daily per pupil current expense. Flor ida, Maryland, West 'Virginia, Okla homa; Missouri, Louisiana and Tex as, each spends on an average more per pupil for the current 9peration of their X)ublic schools than is spent in North Carolina. Public education in Florida, as provided in 1927-28, costs on an a-'-erage 55 cents a day per pupil. The lowest expenditure per pupil among these Southern States, ac cording to the Federal bulletin, is in. Georgia with 21 cents as the daily per pupil attending cost. The average daily cost per pupil in the United States as a whole is 51 cents. Two years ago the daily per pu pil cost of operating the schools in North Carolina was 30 cents, while the United States average w^as. 48 ceirts. The increase of one cent in North Carolina for the two years, education officials point out, has not been as much as the average of three cents for the nation, and con sequently the daily expenditure in this State is now 20 cents less than the national average whereas in 1925-26 the difference was 18 cents. The ranking of North Carolina in expenditure per pupil at eighth place, the statement further points out, is the same as its composite rank on five strictly academic fac tors. It appears therefore, that there is a very close relation be tween what is spent for education and the returns received as measured by these factors.

The world’s famous Freiburg Pas sion Players will appear in Raleigh at four night and two matinee per formances, beginning Wednesday, October 1, according to announce ment by Mrs. Harold Glascock, President of Parent-Teacher’s Asso ciations of Raleigh under whose auspices the players will come. The players were brought to Amer ica from Freiburg, Baden, Germany, by the city of St. Joseph, Mo. They are just completing a tour of the country and will sail for the home land late this year. Three of the Fassnacht family, to gether with more than thirty of the original German cast w-ill appear in the Raleigh engagement. Some 150 Raleigh persons are required to com plete the cast and chorus. Two car loads of scenery and costumes are carried to produce the outdoor pic ture of the Freidburg setting. The Passion Play was originally produced in Freidburg, Baden, Ger many, in the year 1264 as a thank offering to Divine- Providence for the passing of a plague on their city and has greatly developed in the course of 700 years. The outstand ing feature of the players them selves, direct lineal descendants of the players who have carried on the traditions of the group of players for centuries. Adolf Fassnacht, Christus of the play, has been in the Christus role since infancy, having portrayed the Babe in the Manger at the age of six months while his father at the time bad the Christus role. The Passion Play became a hereditary affair of the Fassnacht family over 200 years ago, and for generations the productions of the play has rest ed on the shoulders of a Fassnacht.

OLD SPANISH CUSTOM The revolution in Argentina is the most dirturhing of all of the recent political upsets in Latin-America, and Washington while outwardly viewing the situation with .steadied calmness, is naturally very much concerned about the troubled conditions in the republics of the South who are re verting to the old Spanish custojn of revolutions. The United States is maintaining a policy of “hands off” even though our State Department is naturally wondering: “What next!” 11 when in need ZU5 PRINTING I Toward Success- Just Adrift- Or a Steady Pull? 5% CAMERA PICTURES INSECTS 300 TIMES THEIR NATURAL SIZE YOUR OPPORTUNITY The Passion Play, famous the world over, will be presented in Raleigh October 1, 2, 3, 4, Many have hoped for years to go abroad mainly to see this wonderful pro duction of the life of Christ; no'W it, is possible for all to have the op-1 portunity: Tickets are $1.50 and .$2.00 and may be gotten right here in Selma from Deans Drug Store or Rev.

J.Iuch of the tedious work on the part of artists in illustralaing min- ote forms of plant and animal life which can be seen only through a miscroscope has been overcome i'y photographic apparatus recently de veloped by J. G. Pratt, scientific photographer in the Bureau of En tomology of the United States De partment of Agriculture. Heretofore it was impossible t') get clear pictures of insects or other biological specimens more than 'ten or fifteihi times their nahiral size. With the camera and lighting de vice perfected by Mr. Pratt he i.s able to get good photographs as much as three hundred times na tural size. The difficultie.s encountered in photography at high magnification, according to Mr. Pratt, have been flatness of field and lack of proper illumination. These difficulties have been overcome by developing a light ing device many hundreds of times stronger than sunlight and through the use of lenses which have great depth of focus. THERE is a certain school of thought which saj-s, “Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die.” But when that hapless morrow comes, the insouciant philosopher, money spent, rather wishes he had been a little “merry” and a little more saving. The hand-to-mouth life is merely drifting. It is only consistent saving that pulls you toward your goal in life. “Pick up your oars” by opening an account with us.
