PALS
We went wandering over the hill.
My boy and I, my boy and I,
Out where the words lie deep and still,
My boy, my boy and I.
And we saw where the brook runs soft and low,
The sunny slope where the asters grow.
And \7e watched the wild birds come and go,
My boy, my boy and I.
Then back we came o’er the wind-swept hill.
My boy and I, my boy and
And our hearts were glad though our lips were
still,
My boy and I, my boy and I.
For we saw, from the great hill, rough and high.
The finger of God in a sunset sky.
And we knew we were pals for aye and aye—
My boy, my boy and I.
—M. G. Van Voorhis.
We are indebted to James Larkin Pearson,
North Carolina’s forem^t poet today, for a
copy of his latest collection of poems, “Fifty
Acres,” which is just off the press- The
Journal-Patriot staff is grateful for this re
membrance. ' _
Not the least among the poems in this col
lection is the one whose title the book bears.
“Fifty Acres” should be an inspiration to
every person who reads it. That one poem
is worth the price of the entire dollection-
Somehow, James Larkin Pearson, drawing
his ideas from the common things around
him and furaishing a bit of his own soul,
provides comfort for tho^e who read his
works. Like Mr. Pearson, who must have
been speaking personally when he penned
“Fifty Acres,” most of us are confined to our
own little circle. London, Rome, the Alps,
Egypt and the Avon are words we saw in
our geography during scho^days- But sure
ly we have our “Fifty Acres,” our own little
garden, which if filled with happiness, is
just as meaningful and just as beautiful.
When we become discontented, we tum to
“Fifty Acres” and receive inspiration. Mr.

long hours of debate, the senate
today yielded to the wishes of

and adopted a compromise veterans

praised the compromise as the best
solution that could be worked out
to a difficult situation.
The question at stake in the dis

“Autocides”
“A few centuries from now historians may
write down among inexplicable popular de
lusions of this 20th century the quaint idea
that any one can drive a motor car. A loco
motive unquestionably is far less dangerous
than ah automobile, if for no other reason
than because it usually is on its track. It in
dubitably is easier to drive. Yet locomotive
engineers must undergo years of training

he that gathereth by labor shall increase”—his

“A righteous man hateth lying; but a wicked man
and mental examinations scarcely less rigor
ous tlian those for aviators or explorers. In
most states of the union and most countries

“^“AVood^name TSlher to be chosen than great government with a license to take out a ton
■ or two of moving machinery and begin to
riches, and loving favor rather than silver
gold”—An ‘amendment’ that was repealed.
“Remove not the ancient landmark which
and
thy
fathers have set”—as long as it pays a good divi
dend.
“Let another nan praise thee, and not thine own
mouth: a stranger’s and not thine own lips”—Hire
a press agent.
“Correct thy son and he shall give the rest; yea,
he shall give delight unto thy soul”—by starting it

“There is a generation that curseth their father,
and doth not bless their mother”—.Always the pres

“The wicked flee when no man pursueth, but the
righteous are bold as a lion”—until they get caught
too.
“Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou know-

This is the first paragraph from an edi

the subject of “autocides-” Perhaps this of

Hat At
ton Meet Recwitly
Cora shucks, discarded in
barn lot as a supplementary roug®>
age. for cows, have been received
in polite society as finished hats
for ladies due to the efforts of Miss
Glenn Caudle, of Gibson Mill in
Richmond county.
Some months ago. Miss Caudle
attended a demonstration given
by the home.ngent of Richmond
county, Mrs. Anna Lea Harris, and
there learned the art of braiding
com shucks and making these into
attractive hats. Miss Caudle is-
gifted in the use of her hands and
Vithin a month had mastered the
art and had made a hat for her
own use. She accompanied Mrs.
Harris to a meeting in Wilming
ton and there taught a group of
home agents and home demonstra
tion club women how to make the
braids of shucks and model these
into stylish millinery.
Some of those whom Miss Cau
dle taught are now making both
hats and bags to match, Mrs. Har
ris says. The hats are light in
weight and are very comfo;-table'.
The color is natural shuck which
blends nicely with many other col
ors.
“The color, braid and texture of
the shuck give a charming effect
and the hats are being enthusias
tically received all over the state,”
says Mrs. Harris. “Miss Caudle
has personally received a number
of orders from Burlington, Clinton,
Wilmington, Raleigh and other
places. She charges one dollar for
a hat, finished and blocked. It
may then be lined and trimmed ac
cording to the tastes and desire of
the purchaser.”
No one will object to such use
of the shucks, Mrs. Harris says,
unless it be some of the underfed
eastern Carolina cows. At any
rate, the hats are becoming fash
ionable and many a shuck will be
used in their manufacture at home
in the future, she believes.

AND MURRAY BATTERIES
Elizabeth City, June 15.—After
months of controversy over the
books of C. E. Bailey, authorized
by the county commissioners to
bring foreclosure tax proceedings,
Bailey yesterday afternoon refused
to allow the commissioners to turn
his books over to C. C. Pritchard,
county auditor, for an audit.
Pritchard refused to quit his office
routine and come into the rooms
of the register of deeds and go
over the books in Bailey’s presence,
according to members of the inves
tigating committee.
Bailey refused on the ground that
the books were his only record and
he would not allow them to go out
of his posses.sion. Instead he
agreed to allow a private auditor
to go over the books Saturday.

the
presidency a young and progressive man. Dr.
H. B. Smith, we are confident, will fit ad
mirably in the place which has been so ably
filled by his predecessors.
Since the local club was organiced, Lion-
ism has proved its worth to North Wilkes
boro and \^’ilkcs county. It ha.s filled a
need in the civic life of the city and its ac
complishments are a matter of record.
We have only to pause for a moment and
think of what it would mean to North Wil-
-kesboro were the Kiwanis and Lions club to
disband to gst some idea of the service
they have and are rendering. There would
be no men’s organization to make a concerted
drive for any objective.
We congi-atulate the Lions upon their
choice of new leaders ai*d to commend the
outgoing officers for the splendid record they
have made.
begin to realize that not just anybody can
operate an automobile safely, then we may
see a decrease 'in the numlrer of “autocides.”
That steps must be taken to protect the
public from the drunken driver is also ob
vious. The suggestion that any driver found
operating a car under the influence of an
intoxicant be deprived of his license—when
and if we require a driver’s license—is a sen
sible one. The time of suspension can be
easily worked out and certainly those who
persist in endangering society by driving
while drunk should be barred from the privi
lego of driving until they have proven that
they no longer get under the wheel when
intoxicated.
' A Great Job
President Roosevelt’s success in dealing
with Congress will be recorded in history
as phenomenal in v-ew of the widespread
discontent which existed at the time he
called Congress into session.
The President has been given unprecedent
ed power to deal with the problems which
face the administration. . He has done a
great job in dealing with Congress and in
obtaining the powers which he considered
necessary. He still faces a big job—that of
employing these powers wisely-
But the country which, has come to expect
great things of the chosen leader has no fear
of a dictatorship under his leadership. . The
confidence which the American people have
reposed in Mr, Roosevelt is a guarantee of
dose co-operation.

An act of the recent assembly is now on the
way to the supreme court for a test, and it is
very much in the Interest of public justice that
its validity be determined. The act was intended
to aid depositors of closed banks, but it gives aid
to only a few who may be in a position to get its
benefits, and many others are injured by the very
benefits it bestows on the few.—Statesville Land

All that is needed to make business and in

W’ith work and payrolls increased, the purchasing
power of the people is increased, people buy from
stores, shelves are emptied, refilled from jobbers

going on now. As long as people have'work and
emsdoyment, the cycle is In operation.—Gastonia
