The Rovin' Reporter (Continued From Page One) stuff will be killed by cold some time this month. February is us ually the worst month of the year for ?old. Should the cold come l'ight after rains the danger of killing will be much less. It is a dry cold that is destructive. Should cold weather come along [ with dryness it may be possible: tc save both plants and flowers J by sprinkling them well just be-1 fore the freeze arrives. Ice will j not hurt flowers much. It is dry j freezing that does the damage. | Reading of the hundreds of; thousands of cows and sheep dy ing of exposure and starvation I in western states during the in-1 | tensely cold weather and snow! | storms, one wonders more than i I ever why Brunswick county people j I do not go in more for livestock, j Cows can be pastured 12 months j i of the vear in this area. They! I : need little if any shelter during; | even the most rigerous weather i ! that strikes this part of the! I coast. Neither feed or shelter | | should present obstacles to j . Brunswick farmers raising live- J stock. The chief reason why our farmers are not so greatly in terested in raising, livestock ap pears to be in the fact that they always want a 90 day money | crop, like tobacco or something j else. Our personal opinion, if that j 1 counts for anything, is that SUPPOSE \ IT IS TRUE AFTER ALL? Two friends were discussing the question of punishment for sin in e future life. They settled to their own satis faction that there was none. They decided that hell was a myth. They agreed that God, being a God of love. ? could not consign His creatures to everlasting punishment. Then a Christian who had been listening silently to the discussion said: "Suppose it is true, after all?" The words seemed to fall on the ears of the two with crushing force. The power of God seemed behind them, as it ever is behind the truth. God had spoken. Suppose it Is true after all that God must punish tin? How would you fare before the Judge? Suppose it is true after all that hell is a reality, and that "it is appointed unto man once to die. but efter this the judgment"? What lies at the end of the path you are now treading? Suppose it is true after all that the Lord Jesus is the only Saviour? What if you neglect Him? "How shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation?" God hates your sin. but He loves yon. He lov*s you so much that He sent from heaven His sinless Son. Jesus Christ, to die under God's wrath against your sin. As the Bible says it, "God so loved the world that he geve his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Our sins were laid on Him. Tell God you want to be included among those for whom Christ suffered; that you do accept Him as your Saviour ?the One who suffered in your place. Jesus said. "Him that cometh unto me I will in no wise cast out." There is no problem in your life too great for Him to solve if you will let Him. "Come unto me," He said, "and I will give you rest."

Brunswick county farmers and j farm wojnen will be pleased with; the new county agent and his I family just as fast as they get| to know them. When county agent j J. E. Dodson had to resign as a | result of long years of work that j wore him out on his feet, no one | regreted it more than we did. j Several weeks before he resign ed he was kind enough to tell us confidently of his impending act ion and we knew enough of the circumstances to not try and keep him. We hated losing Mr. I Dodson as the county agent but| we believe that in Mr. Knowles I the farmers of the county will j get the same kind of efficent i service that Mr. Dodson gave I them. Alcng with other issues of this ! paper that scatter everywhere, ' copies for this week should reach Memphis, Tennessee, Friday. When Mrs. J. B. Mitchell receives her copy it should remind her that Sunday, February 6, is her birthday. The paper is being sent her for a year as a birthday pre sent from her mother, Mrs. W. M, Wells, of Southport. ?Prof. H. C. Bird of Duke Uni versity and resident of Holden Beach during the summer time has recently had an operation. He is now up and doing fine. Prof, and Mrs. Bird and their daughter, Miss Frances, who is i also a teacher at Duke, are all | good friends of ours and this may be a slightly unothordoux way of expressing our gratifi cation that Professor Bird is now coming along so well. A number of Southport people may remember Mr. W. Clark Por ter of Greensboro. Up until late in the 1920's he was a frequent visitor to Southport and much in terested in things here. At one time he had an option on Swain's Beach, now Long Beach, where he planned considerable develop ment. The depression came along and halted his plans. He is still living but has been paralyzed for a number of years. His daughter, Mrs. C. Ray Hon, of Charlotte, Saves tearing all around town when you pay bills BY CHECK! MEMBER FEDERAL DEPOSIT INSURANCE CORPORATION sends him The State Port Pilot. Last week we were remainded that spring is not far off for this section of the state. Millions of beautiful yellow daffodils covern ing eight acres of land at the Eastbrook Nurseries inspired the remainder. Mr. Verzeal says the daffodils have been blooming pretty steadily since the 11th of November We have not seen the critter, but folks tell us that Mrs. Bill Harris of Southport has a cat' that is half bobcat and half | house cat. It is a pretty good1 sized feline and as gentle as a j full blooded housecat. Some of j the Gak Island Coast Guard boys! i are said to have trapped the old i mother bobcat and later found the [ kitten, which was very small at J I the time. It was brought up fed on a bottle. By way of a story in the St. Louis Globe, we have just learn ed that the Brahma cows of -the Reigel Paper Company do not make good pets. Jim Wilson, the Wilmington Star sports editor, has written us again about getting fishing boats here for this sea son. We know you will think we are patting ourself on our own back when we quote the follow ing editorial in the Jauary issue of Better Health for North Caro lina, it reads--"Southport, in the Southeastern corner of the State, is the locale of our picture story on the happy home life of a Tar Heel Fisherman?Captain Merrit Moore. The author of the story is that genial philosopher and publicizer of Southeastern North Carolina, Bill Keziah. Bill is one of the grandest newspaper men in the State who is beloved far beyond the Tar Heel borders."? Yum, yum, sounds sort of nice to us.

Whiteville N. C. # Leaders of unions representing rail road engineers and firemen seek to force railroads to add extra, needless men on diesel locomotives. This is sheer waste ?a "make-work" program which would mean fewer improvements and higher costs?for YOU! Railroads use modern dieael locomotives be cause they are one of the means of giving faster, better service to you. Two men compose the crew of a diesel. They occupy a clean, comfortable cab at the front. The engineer handles the throttle. The fireman sits and watches the track ahead. With no coal to Bhovel, he has practically nothing else to do. No Benefit To You Now the leaders of the Brotherhood of Loco motive Engineers and the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen want to use the diesel locomotive as a means of forcing a feather-bedding scheme on the rail roads. The extra men they propose to add to the diesel crews are not needed. There is no work for them. The union leaders are fighting among them selves about which union should furnish these extra, needless men. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers have even threatened a strike. You may not be interested in this dis pute of these two unions, but you would be vitally concerned if these groups succeed in putting through this feather-bedding scheme, because it would mean a Blowing up of the improvement program of the railroads?of which the dieeel is the outstanding symbol. Dieael crews are among the highest paid railroad employes?real aristocrats of labor! Their pay is high by any standard. Granting of these demands, therefore, would mean that the railroads would be paying out millions in unearned wages to those in the very highest pay brackets. We'd Like To Spend This Money On Yon You know how much the diesel has meant to you in increased speed, comfort and conven ience. The railroads have many more of them on order for even greater improvement in service to you. But needless drains of money, such as this present demand of the unions for needless men on diesels, reduce the ability of the railroads to spend money on better serv ice for you. Proud as the railroads are of the diesel, it is only a small part of their improvement pro gram. Since the War, literally billions of dol lars have been spent on improvement of tracks .and stations, on new passenger and freight cars, as well as on diesel locomotive and on the many other less conspicuous de tails of railroading that contribute to im proved service. Feather-Bedding Means Less Servico To lou But brazen feather-bedding schcmes like the one now proposed would, if successful, divert large sums of money from our present im provement programs. Even worse, they make improvements like the diesel worthless, by making the cost of their operation prohibitive. These demands are against your interests ?as well as those of the railroads. They are schemes to "make work". Neither yo" n?r the railroads should be forced to pay such a penalty for progress. That's why the railroads are resisting these "make work" demands to the last ditch?M" why they are telling you about them. We are publishing thU and other advertisements to talk with you at first hand about matters which are important to everybody.
