THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT SOLITARY IN FAMILIES: God setteth the solitary in families; he bringeth out those which are bound with chains; but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.—Psalm 68:6. KENTUCKY COLONEL SEES PROSPERITY One of the real liberals among our industrial leaders is Colonel Wood F. Axton, of Louisville, Kentucky, who has aggressively insisted that we can not have a return of prosperity until the producing class or workers have sufficient income to buy back the pro ducts of labor. With this main thought in mind Colonel Axton recently made a speech at the Carrollton, Kentucky, tobacco festival which was received with ap proval in Washington by many lead ing exponents of the New Deal. This famed Kentucky Colonel who has consistently stood out for a square deal for the tobacco growers regardless of the consequences to him or his company said: “The leaders in the AAA are Jjon est, eaxnst men and hot politicians. I iroald urge your continued coope ration with these men. The farming classes have been let down by too much profit-taking by the industrial ists. It is no wonder that the game has been broken up. The country cannot have prosperity unless the producing class gets enough to buy back the products of its labor." More than 10,000 tobacco farmers had gathered at Carrollton to cele brate the first annual tobacco festi val. They all cheered and roared when a big hearse bearing a banner saying “Old Tobacco Prices—Six Feet Under The Sod” led the parade to a huge warehouse where 1500 gal lons of burgoo were served before the speechmaking began. Burgoo is a juicy stew made by James T. Looney, the “Burgoo King” from Northern Kentucky, whose fam ed concoction is brewed for a day and night in kettles—a 500 gallon iron one dating from Civil War days. Speakers heraled the tobacco boom which had brought prices up. 35 per cent since 1931. Growers are at last buying automobiles and farm tools and their wives are buying silk dress es again for the first time in many year's. Axton’s speech was one of the high spots and carried great weight with the growers who know him as one of the biggest buyers of raw to bacco and might be expected to favor low leaf prices. If all of our industrial leaders had something of the same spirit of fair ness as that which guides Axton of Kentucky, this country would soon be making a rapid emergence from the dark clouds of depression. WHO’S AFRAID OF THE BIG, BAD JAP? The scrapping of another treaty by Japan isn’t worrying high officials in Washington. Japan is bounding for ward, and through its conquests has taken over a good deal of new terri tory, which it expects to keep. Japan is expected to seek new treaties which will recognize its dominant position in the Orient. Uncle Sarr entertains no fear of the Japanese in the Philippines, on the Pacific coas or elsewhere. LOYAL WORKERS’ CLASS MEETS WITH MRS. ROBERTS , < ■ The Loyal Workers’ Bible Class of the Methodist Church met Tuesday night at the home of Mrs, T. E. Roberts on West Eden Street. The meeting opened with a song, followed with the Lord’s Prayer. Scripture was read by Mrs. W. T. Gordon, which was discussed by the class. After all business was dis posed of, including the treasurer’s report, the class was dismissed into the social hour with a softg. Mrs. W. C. Moore was winner in the flower contest. Delightful refreshments, consisting of ice cream and cake, were served to those prqpent, who were: Mes dames R. W. Carden, W. C. Moore, J. W. Cates, W. T. Gordon, B. F. Brit ton, Jr., Sid Spruill, J. F. Arnold, J. T. Bell, E. W. Spires, J. E. Bufflap, John Small, W. J. Davis, L. L. Coker and Harry Smith. MISS MacDONALD SICK Miss Sarah MacDonald, whoretum ed to Edenton Sunday to re3#ne her duties as a membei) of the Edenton school faculty, wgfl the * * Heard and seen By “BUFF” 1«• We’re surely glad that the boys and girls in college like our paper. Some of them while home for the holidays expressed delight at reading the . sheet, and several raised sand be ; cause an issue or two failed for some . reason to reach them. That’s the idea, folks. Let us know if the paper doesn’t arrive regularly. We have a crow to pick with Uncle Sam any ■ how. He tells us what we must charge to print envelopes, and then ■ the bewhiskered old fellow turns right around and furnished printed enve lopes for about the same price as the envelopes alone cost us. I’m not able j to figure the thing out. Lloyd Griffin in his talk to the Ro tarians last week, said legislators receive letters, telephone calls and telegrams—some of them praising them, others cussing them, and all sorts of request. According to that 1 every legislator ought to have a good ’ sized waste basket. Anyway, if let ’ ters or what-not will get us a toll | free bridge, let’s get started. Just like the airport that was com ing here when Clark Kinnaird wa: editor of the Edenton paper, it ap pears that the latest airport has gone the same route. Wonder what’s hap pened to the idea? o I learned a new game the other night at the Legion-Auxiliary meet ing. It’s “Coffee Pot” and sure is a laugh-provoking game. It’s all right, too, Unless somebody gets evil-mind ed. Professor John A- Holme? had aSoul the hardest words to guess— ridihg horseback. “Do you Coffee Pot,” asked John of a member of the gathering. “Oh, yes, sir,” was the answer. “When did you Coffee Pot last?” was the next question. “Oh, just this afternoon,” was the answer. “Do you use your head?” asked John, “No,” came the answer. “Do you use your hands?” questioned John still further in order to get an idea of what the words were. “No,” was again the answer. With so many ladies present, I was all set to jump out the window if Friend John had asked this question: “What part of the body do you use to Coffee Pot?” He didn’t ask it, though, so I re mained for refreshments. ■" o ’. Funny thing, though, about that mixed meeting. The ladies pulled numbers to see which man would be permitted to sit beside them. There were a few more men present than ladies, so naturally a few men had to play stag. But what seems so queer is the fact that the “best looking” ones were left. Take for instance Carey Bunch, Roy Leary, Brice Hollo well, Luther Harrell and yours truly. ’Taint fair, ladies! o Arthur Hollowell is the tradingest fellow I know. He was so taken with a cigarette case the other night that he traded the thing for the shirt he was wearing. No, he didn t give up his shirt at the time, but the trade stands. Arthur is a thrifty sort of a guy, so I reckon he’ll turn the shirt over when it gets dirty. o There hasn’t been any hunting stories in this column lately, so I might as well insert one now. Lloyd Burton and a party went duck hunt ing just a short time ago, and during the dull period of the day Friend Burton decided to take a snooze. The sleep must have been pleasant, for he soon began to snore. So much so, in fact, that one of the other hunters, evidently coming out of a snooze also, asked a partner if he heard the sea roaring. Anyhow, one of the party had a streak of luck and shot down three ducks. The crack of the gun awakened two other hunters, and immediately upon seeing the ducks fall, each one claimed they had shot one. Must have been a dream. o A subscriber from one of the rural routes came in the office the other day and asked if my pipe was kin to Judson Bass’s pipe. He said he was sick and didn’t like to smell a stink ing old pipe. “Why, my pipe is just getting ‘ripe’,” I told him. “I’ve got to be sick sure enough if I don’t feel like smoking a pipe,” I told him. “Well then you ought to be sick sometime,” said the subscriber. Ain’t it a cruel world! Charlie Swannev scared the fool out of me this week. He came a rip roaring in the office, yelling: “Buff, did you send me this letter?” I looked at the hand writing, and said, “No—No— l —l didn't s-s-send it. It’s not my hand-writing.” “Open it and read it,” he demanded of me. So as I opened the envelope, out dropped a perfectly good ten-dollar bill. “Oh, yes, I sent it to you, Charlie,” I said. “I just wanted to see if you would take a joke and give me back the ten-spot.’.' But Charlie just wouldn’t stand for ijt. Anyway, inside the let ter with tic ten-dollar bill was a note saying: accept this for your efforts Jfoe y were in twn^| THE CHOWAN HERALD, EDENTON, N. C., THURSDAY, JANUARY 10, 1935. save Charlie some tall explaining, this is to inform him that it was a man who sent the token of apprecia tion. I’ve promised secrecy as to the identity of the sender, so Charlie while playing set-back Saturday night don’t ask any questions. o A gang of new members were initi ated into the Red Men tribe Monday night. Several of the candidates were bandaged up, so I hasten to in form any prospective members that the bandages are not the result of the initiation. Next Monday night a “feed” will be put on, and if the crowd this Monday night was an in dication of what will be on hand next Monday night, the Red Skins will have to play Indian sure enough and sit on the floor. j. o Money sure makes the mare go. Lloyd Burton got rid of his gray mare, but it took money to move her. o County School Superintendent W. J. Taylor, who is also county welfare officer, doubtless has many college degrees, but his adeptness in success fully pursuing certain cases in con nection with his welfare work has prompted one of the commissioners to suggest that they confer upon him the degree of “AOBB.” Ask the professor what it means. o It isn’t old age that’s causing T. B. Williford limping around like a man in his eighties. The reason is a ris ing on his leg. I feel sorry for him but he ought to be thankful that it’3 on his leg, S1 r —n * 0 The Chowan Motor Company had a complimentary combination ash tray and calendar placed at each City Councilman’s place at their big table at the meeting Tuesday night. Now what they need is for someone to place a clock at each place so they know when to knock oft- ■ ••-t :**«'•* r o Mayor Eddie Spires is of the opin ion that it will not be long until air planes can be landed in a fellow’s own back yard. That’s not enough. How about the fellows who live in apartments—they’ve got to be taken care of. , , c • Attention city automobile owner?. January 15th is the dead line to dis play city automobile license tags. You don’t have to buy and display them if you don’t want to . . . you may pay about $4.10 court costs if you’d rather do that. c Speaking about the Christmas decorations in Edenton, I just heard of the fellow who came to town just after Captain Wiggins’ tree had been donated and decorated by X. E. Cope land. The young fellow, pretty well lit up, noticed the lighted tree and promptly exclaimed: “Gol darn, (slightly mild) ain’t that a pretty boat down there?” o It looks as though City Council will make it hard for another car nival to come to Edenton. One of them suggested that before another one came to town the hootchie kootchie girls must be brought to the Council chamber, poll down the shades, and make them give a dem onstration of their act on the table. I’m going to run for Councilman in the next election sure as blazes. MRS. LULA E. ROBINSON, 71, DIES AT CENTER HILL HOME Mrs. Lula E.

[ REPUBLICAN Bertie County By Walter Hughes v / TURKEY HUNTING ON THE CASHIE We have lots of different game around here to hunt, but turkey hunting is the highest class hunt of all. I will relate a turkey hunt that was pulled off last Friday by C. D. Bazemore, Lou Lyon Craig, Harry Zobel and Everett Gillam, the latter two gentlemen living in New York. Early Friday morning the party made their way down the Cashie Swamp. Soon they found where the turkeys had been scratching. Mr. Bazemore said, “Boys, there is an is land out yonder in the swamp. I be lieve the turkeys are on it. You all stand here and I will take the dog, and I might run them over to you.” And sure enough the dog ran into them. Here they came! Mr. Zobel commenced aiming at the turkey, and the turkey came straight over him. 1 . When the turkey got over his head he the turkey, the gun down and stamping him. -<^a?:%*L were bruised up, and the within seven feet of him. I Craig said to Gillam, “Get right for )he is coming.” This was a very 1 crucial moment for Mr. Gillam, who had never killed a turkey, for soon 1 the turkey would walk out and give a i 1 challenge. Yes, a challenge Gillam I had never had before. The turkey ! hadn’t yet shown up. Craig picked up his caller and gave a note, which is better known to Craig as the ' “fade away.” The turkey ran out within 24 yards of the blind. Gillam 1 fell down on his gun and sung “Rock of Ages.” At the crack of the gun, the turkey done a lot of kicking ' and jumping around. Gillam thought the turkey might get away, so Gil ’ lam reared back, tore the blind down, ' got half of the poles on him, but he ' rolled and tumbled until he got clear. : He ran and got hold of the turkey. ' Then it was all over. Mr. Zobel, however, soon killed one flying over ! him, so they were both happy. They were soon homeward bound, all Bmiles. I think they will want to go ' turkey hunting again soon. 4" "\ , | GUM POND . V 4 > Miss Blanche Smith has returned to Norfolk, Va., after visiting her moth er, Mrs. Susie Smith.
