Paper Says People Have Power To Wreck The State ( Thq people of North Carolina have it in their power to wreck the State The News and Observer says in a'two-column editorial car. ried in yesterday's issue of that paper. Declaring that North Carolina's destiny is as high, as free, as secure as North Carolina's courage will let it be, the editor pleads that citizens cf the state manifest that type of courage that has built it up from the ruins of a terrible war. The editorial in full follows: "Write it down in words that cannot be erased. North Cafo. lina's destiny is as high, as rree, as secure as North Carolina's courage will let it be. "Moreover, we who are the responsibly citizens today can wreck the State and its institutions beyond the powers of our children or our children's children to repair. War did it once but war isn't necessary. "We can do it without the consciousness of any vicious purpose to wreck. We can* do it on the self-consc'ling plea that we are looking out for our own interests. "But what of these interests tomorrow when we survey the wreckage our panic has wrought? What of our own tomorrow with banks! gutted, trade and industry bankrupt homes gone, jobs flown, governmental agendas paralyzed? "Let's repeat. We can do this without the consciousness of any vicious purpose to wreck. Make it stranger. North Carolina cannot be wrecked by an intent to wreck. There is not inherent in the State enough viciousness for that. The only way it can be wrecked, the onlv wav this State may be set back to the dismal years of reconstruction is by our own fear and panic. "What is the State after all? Nothing more than an artificial organization of individuals. It hasn't life or soul or courage of its own. Its character is the character or its individual ciffeehs. who cherish its integrity because under the sanction of its laws men may live together and work together safely and profitably. "It is not very different from a I' bank and it may be wrecked as a , bank is wrecked. If we wreck enough banks in the end we'll wreck the State. "Moreover, we can go on wrecking banks just as individuals have wrecked them in the past thirty days. We can hammer on them, and draw cut our deposits, and spread our fears to depositors in other banks and then sit back andi congratulate ourselves when the : doors are closed that our money is safe in a little tin box somewhere. "But what a price for safety of money today when tomorrow it will be gone and there will be no means of making more? The process has a bitter and hideous ending. And it is a process that individuals can promote or can halt. It is all a matter of courage and faith. ; "They are commonplace words. We use them too glibly, usually with no thought of their sublime meaning. Why did we deposit our money in a substantial bank, operated by honest upstanding bankers? Because we trusted the bank, and its 01ficers. We thought it was a safe depository. Today come the whispers, the unfounded rumors, and a panic of fear drcwns all the faith we ever had. We rush down and draw out our funds until the bank either exhausts its resources to pay or closes its doors to protect those deI positors who were not afraid. "Yet the officers of the bank that today is a wreck because we did not trust them or it, because in our fear we destroyed them, are the same men we trusted yesterday. "There's no need to mince words. Even the most optimistic in North Carolina looked for some liquidations with the slump that ccmes always after the seasonal Christmas spurt. "Are we going to convert this logical, natural condition into a State-wide catastrophe? "It isn't a matter for the Governor or the legislature or the banking commissioner. The banks themselves eventually can reach the f limit of their powers to borrow in such an emergency. "It is a question for the individual. Will you make fear ypur mas ter and convert yourself into an enemy to your own interests and your neighbors' or will you have faith in yourself and them "North Carolina can be wrecked if enough of us are willing to wreck it or to sit by sublinely while it is being done. "Nothing under high heaven is fear proof." ' S^i. ,?T f g i ;$?.: > 4 * : *'t . ^ A v*-. 7 f OF WARREN, N. C., FRIE i COUNTY PASSES] QUIET CHRISTMAS Young People Enjoy Series Of Dances During Holiday Season STORES OPEN SATURDAY The faint tingle from the bells on thq harness of Dasher Dancer, Prancer, Dixen, Comet, Cupid, Don. der and Blitzen, Old Santa's famous reindeers, as it reached the ears of a small percentage of the children of Warren this Yule tide seascn reflected to the older citizens of the county one of the quietest Christmas that has been experienced in years. Of course there were those of the more fortunate class who passed into slumber on the auiet nieht of December 24 and awoke to find that they had not been forsaken by Kris Kringle, but there were more, many mcirqi, who had expected a doll, horn,' firecrackers and other toys, but awoke with the disappointing observation that the Grand Old Man had run into General Depression and lost part of his load frcm his sleigh. Christmas day, always somewhat similar in feeling to a Sunday, was more so than ever this year. An occasional firecracker was heard, but they were few and far between, and there was also the absence of horns and other noise-makers. Most of the people here stayed around heme during the day, while a few journeyed into the wocds in search of game. However, things for the younger people began to assume a carefree air and liven up with the approach of night fall. A tea dance over at Henderson was responsible for some of the younger pecple entering into the spirit of the season along about 5:30 in the afternoon, and a dance here at Hotel Warren Christmas night was responsible for bringing many boys and girls here from other places, and as they started mingling and the/band be ? i xt? getII piftyiug:, tlic V/ui :oom<xo XCGJUJ..I? began to creen into the ijtght air. at ores re-opened :&"5tgrday ' and Christmas was over for W afiinoco J men, but boys and girls here from schools and colleges still had before them a number of days of holidays, and they have, to some extent, been cavorting around during their leisure hours, attending dances at Henderson, Oxford, and I Littleton and other nearby towns. Christmas for this class will close the latter part of the week as they return to their educationa,- institutions. Teachers are expected to return to Warren Sunday, and the Christmas of 1931 will be left sleeping in the memory of man as citizens muster their courage and lock for better days in 1932.

' No Bull Is Gentle Says College Man Most accidents occur with gentle bulls that have been trusted toe much. Every herd sire should be taught to know that the man is master and any person attempting to handle a mature bull without a ring in his nose, is risking his life. This is the expert opinion of Fred M. Haig, in charge of the dairy herd and associate professor of dairying at State College. "We have two Jersey bulls in our herd here that the average dairyman would consider too vicious to handle," says Mr. Haig. "Yet these bulls are taken out of their stalls every day, are brushed and given exercise. In doing this the animal is so handled that there is practically no danger of his injuring anyone. The bulls have been taught that man is the master and we are careful that they do not have the opportunity to learn of their great strength by breading away. The 'bulls are handled without displaying fear yet are watched as if they were seeking a chance to gore the attendant." Mr. Haig says every bull should be halter-broken, and when he Is abcut one year old should have a ring put in his nose. Dehorning is not advised. The college bulls are handled with greater ease by leaving the horns on. A strong chain is placed about the base of the horns and stays there at all times. Then when the bull is taken from the stall for exercise or grazing, the lead chain is passed through the nose ring and snapped to the chain about the horns. After this chain is attached, the attendant may drive the bull with safety. Should the bull give any trouble, a slight whip of the chain will quickly quiet him down. Mr. Haig says it is poor practice to confine the bull and thus ruin his health or to kill him for meanness when he may be of great value. Proper handling will permit him toj be kept until the end of his useful years.

MOST OF THE NEWS ALL THE TIME on C?^ NUMBER 1 BUSINESS GOES ON HERE AS USUAL Audit of Bank of Warren Is Being Made By State Commission of Banks COUNTY FUNDS BONDED Business is being carried en here as usual in spite of the closing of the Bank of Warren here on last Thursday. There has been no semblance of a run on the Citizens Bank, Warrenton's other bank and their customers are continuing their; deposits as heretofore, according to officials of the latter institution. Whether or not the Bank of Warren will re-open under a depositors' agreement can not be determined until the State Commission of Bank has completed the audit now under way. While there will of necessity be some delay in settling the affairs of the bank, officials have expressed the opinion that there would' be little loss to depositors. A brief notice on the door of the Bank of Warren last Thursday morning stated that the bank was temporarily closed to protect the depositors. The notice was posted following a meeting of the board of directors on last Wednesday night when it was pointed out that gradual withdrawal of funds and inability to rediscount notes made such a step advisable. C. N. Williams Jr., of Richmond, Va., is president of the bank; W. H. Damercn, vice president; G. B. | Gregory cashier and vice president.
