Entered &t tQe Jo?tofflce atUrabam. .N C.. aa eecc aaa-clamatter UNCONSTITUHONAL The United States Supreme Court says NRA is unconstitu tional. The decision shattered work and wage codes. The de cision was unanimous. The creation of the NRA was not vicious. It was prompted by the best of motives?to pro mote employment for the un employed at a living wage and curb the slave-driver and sweat shop master. has done a good work. It has created a spirit of fair compe tition and social justice, and to an extent that business enter prises and industries of stand ing and repute throughout the country are proposing to oper ate on the same Dasis^ith little or no variation. The improvement and up turn in business have been steady and substantial. Some are frightened, hut if labor is treated justly there should he no reason for alarm. The Supreme Court is both praised and censured. The Su preme Court has a duty to per form when matters are pre sented for its decision. The Constitution is its limit and did it not uphold its provision against encroachment it would be derelict in its duty and prove itself and the Constitu tion useless institutions. The French-Canadian Dionne quintette sisters were one year old Tueseay and all going strong, making May 28th one of the notable of all birthdays. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt will deliver the literary address at Chapel Hill commencement on Tuesday, June 11th. A large crowd is expected and the speaking will be in the Kenan stadinm. There is a State law requiring lobbyists to register and report compensation to the Secretary of State. A report sent out from Raleigh lists a number. The highest paid was Hon. J. Elmer Long of Durham, former Lieut. - Governor, wlio headed the list with ?3, ?00, several times more than any one else received. He represented the State Bottlers' Association. It will take lots five-cent bottles generously watered to cover that little item of expense. Former President Herbert Hoover is takiDg time off from whatever is his occupation to induldge in criticism of the Roosevelt administration in its effort to lift the country out of the slough in which he left it so hopelessly bogged. He fired his last anathema from Palo Alta, California, last Saturday. Republicans are not making any great ado over over Mr. Hoover in his efforts to extri cate himself from the gloom in which his sun set. Mr. Hoover may have a come-back ambi tion?that is, to succeed Mr. Roosevelt, but it is not at all probable that he can do what Grover Cleveland did, the only president to serve a second term with an intervening term. "One of the less spectacular but more significant indices of basic business recovery has been the improvement in the real es tate situation i n communities throughout the country." It's An Office, Nol Merely a Job. The clerk of the Superior j Court of Alamance County is j confronted with the task of se-1 curing an assistant to fill the place of Assistant Clerk of the Superior Court. The vacancy occurs on June 1st on account; of the resignation of the pres ent assistant. The choosing or appointment of an assistant is the business of the Clerk and he recognizes the importance of securing a person who will be able to help perform the duties of the office and meet and deal with the public, such as have to come to the office for such services as are pertinent to his office. Hence he is asking the aid of the County Commissioners in securing a lit anil available person for the position. The Clerk knows, after his years of service in the office, that he will not be able to se cure one that can "carry on"' from the moment the oath is taken. The duties of the office must be learned and they are learned by expeiience, study and application. It's a dull day in the office when some thing new or something not known before is not learned. There are legal matters to be dealt with and disposed of? such is the experience of the present incumbent and those who have had experience in the office. It is learned that there is a long list of applicants for the vacancy. The writer has not seen the list and is not advised who compose it, but the ap pointee, whoever he or she may be, will have to learn and be taught the duties incident to the office, and the task of teach ing will devolve principally up on the Clerk. The position of Assistant Clerk of the Supesior Court is an office, not a mere job or sinecure, and the appointee will find that there is plenty to learn and something to do. The public is interested and has an interest in the office and it is hoped the appointee will be one that will meet the ex pectations of the Clerk and the public. Yielding to the tfearful plea of the victim, Miss Mary Mc El roy, who was kidnaped by Walter McGee, and his gang on May 27, 1933, and held for ransom in the state of Kansas, Gov. Guy B. Park of Missouri on Monday commuted McGee's sentence to life imprisonment. McGee was to have been hang ed on May 31st, and his brother George is now serving a life sentence for his part in the crime. Miss McElroy is socially prominent and the daughter of Henry F. McElroy, City Mana ger of Kansas City. The young lady was unharmed and was accompanied by her father to present her plea to the Governor. She stated that if McGee had l*en hanged it would have haunted her all the rest of her life Her forgiving spirit is beautiful, a supreme virtue, and commendable, and if her intercession does net make a model prisoner of McGee, it will all have been in vain. McGee is the first to have had the death sentence pronounced against him for kidnaping. IN THE JUNGLES Exploring the African jungles with M.

Hundreds are going out from the Colleges and Universities and thousands from the High Schools. Most of them may not believe or realize they are taking leave of "happy days." It is the pivotal point between vouth and the stern reality of grappling the problems of life. The home training and the schooling constitute the prepa ration. If these have been good and properly observed and ap preciated, the way will be clear ed and the going less difficult, but the competition will be keeuer than in years past?so rnanv more in the race Rnt, the brave and courageous, if they have properly husbanded these qualities, have nothing to fear. Timely Farm Questions Answered at State College. QUESTION:?What percent of old bens should be carried over for layers next year? ANSWER:?From the stand point of commercial egg produc tion it would be well to carry on ly pullets for layers. However, the iucre&se in egg size of the hen over the pullet egg size should be considered where there is a specialized market demand for large eggs. The only way to arrive at the number of hens to carry over is to watch the flock very carefully and keep only those hens that moult early ana are heavy producers. QUESTION:?Iu planning to" save feed for next winter, how much hay and silage should be provided for each cow? ANSWER:?A mature cow will need from one and one-half tons of legume hay aud three tons of silage for a six month feediug period. When hay is fed alone two aud one-half tons should be provided but a combination of hay and silage is much preferred. Silage furnishes succulence which is very much needed in the win ter ration. It is also the cheap est feed grown on the farm as one acre of good corn or sorghum will produce enough silage to feed three cows for six months. QUESTION:?IIow can cabbage and collard worms be controlled? ANSWER:?These pests can be easily controlled by dusting with rotenone. The material may also be used as a spray but dusting gives better results. Apply from 15 to 20 pounds of the chemical to the acre, depending upon the size of the plant anil the rate of infestation. Rotenone is non poisonous and may be used at any time during the growing sea son. Second and third applica tions are sometimes necessary tor complete control of the worms. BANKS RAPIDLY REDUCE DEBT Although the sum ot $1,S60,000,000 has been advanced to banks and trust companies by the Reconstruction Finance Corporation since It began op erations in? February, 1932, down to April 30, 1935, these Institutions have repaid no less than $1,340,000,000, or more than 72%. This rate of repayment Is reported as being considerably In ex cess of that made by any other type of borrower. Loans were authorized by the Recon struction Finance Corporation to 7.396 banks and trust companies In an aggre gate amount ot $2,350,000,000, but of this sum $345,000,000 was withdrawn or cancelled and $140,000,000 has not yet been taken out by the borrowers. Simplification of Bank Checks New York.?In a bulletin Issued by the Bank Management Commission of the American Bankers Association, plans are described for carrying on the simplification of bank checks, notes, drafts and similar Instruments In re spect to size and uniformity of arrange ment of subject matter. Detailed recommendations for this end were formulated by the associa tion about ten years ago, the bulletin says, and promulgated by the United States Department of Commerce among banks, business hcuses nslng large numbers of checks, commercial station ers and lithographers. As a result about SS per cent adherence to the recom mendations was brought about. The present bulletin, which describes the standard specifications in full. Is Issued to maintain this high level of adher ence to the recommendations. - -' TO DISCUSS AND INTERPRET NEW STATE AND FED ERAL LAWS Institute of Government Meeting in Chapel Hill June 10-11?Bailey and Uoughton to Speak?Seawell, Johnson and Other State Officials to Lead Discussion?Prepare Sum maries. Chapel Hill, May 27.? North Caroliua public officials are con tinuing the unique and valuable system they iutitiated through the institution of Goverument in 11*33 for cooperation between ihe Legislative and administrative branches of the government. Representatives of city and county governments in every sec tion of the State will meet with their State and National legisla tors here Monday and Tuesday, June 10 and 11, to hear interpre tations of the new State and Ked r-ini ncm nuu lu UISCU8S 0>" groups tbe laws affectiing their particu lar offices, towns and counties. The first such meeting held here in 1933, met with an enthusiastic response. More than a thousand people, 'representing 98 of the State's 100 counties, took part, and the addreeses and discus sions proved so stimulating and beneficial, it was decided to make interpretation meetings a perma nent affair. Tbe system for keeping the two branches in touch with each other was expanded further this year. A joint meeting was held in the fall at which organizations of of ficial and citizeu groups had the opportunity, for the first time, to lay their legislative programs be fore thejnewly-elected representa tives for consideration in advance of the meeting of the General As sembly. A Bulletin Service was initiated which kept officials and citizens alike in touch with the day-by day doings of the Legislature. A copy of the releases, which sum marized the contents and reported the progress of each bill, were sent free so every newspaper in the State as well as to a desig nated official in each city hall and court house. Senator Josiah W Bailey and Representative Robert L. Dough ton have accepted invitations to deliver the principal addresses at this year's session for their inter pretation of new Federal Legis lation. They will be assisted in their discussion of the methods for fi nancing, allotting and adminis tering the new four billion dollar public works and work relief program by H. C. Baity, Mrs. Thomas W. O'Berry, and the State heads of other federal agencies. A number of ranking State of ficials, including Attorney General A. A. F. Seawall, Cbas. M. John son aud W. E. Easterling of the Local Govenment Commission; A. J. Maxwell, Commissioner of Revenue; Capus M. Waynick, Chairman of the Highway Com mission; and Cl3Tde Erwin, Su perintendent of Public Instruc tion. The Institute of Government this week brought out itscompre hAnnivft 20.000 wnnl anmrnoi-w r\f Slate-wide acts passed by th 1935 General Assembly. The summa ries ol New Laws affecting each office and of Local Acts affecting each town and county are now in preparation and will be distrib uted to officials at the June meeting. LET INDUSTRY ALONE! "Industry, let it alone, is the the only thing that can bring about recovery," said Governor Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, re cently. "Industry, let it alone, is the only safety for our government.... "You cannot reform a a scared, discontented, idle people. The first steps to reform are to let business recover." That ci mes from a man in high public office. If the attitude it represents would swiftly spread to other officials, in both state and federal government, the na- I tion would be considerably near er better times.?Ex. All 4-H club members over 14 years of age In Stanly county' have received physical examina tions ii^ preparation for the dis trict and State 4 H health cm test. I The new, improved strain of ? Porto Rico sweet potatoes devel ; oped at the Coastal Plain Branch Station will be tested by H. T. I Watkins of Caswell county. ' |Pgft5TO| G. H. ENFIELD Moonlight often casts a reflec tion. Some folks feel so embarrassed, if caught at work, they'd hide be hind a weed. To say to a poor, hungry man, "You're unfortunate," may fill his heart but not his stomach. Many a person meets his fate at the cross-road. If it takes a vaudeville to get folks to church, it will also take a vaudeville to keep them in chnrch. There are those who do no more fencing to keep the Devil out of their lives than to keep their cat tle out of the neighbor's corn. "What do you have in your garden this spring?" "The neighbors' chickens." "Pat, how are road bosses like bird dogs?" "Both are setters." A iittle patch here Aud a big patch there; All the patches are To cover the bare.
