Our Weekly Sermon
THE NATION’S PULSE
Righteousness exalteth a nation;
but sin is a reproach to any people.
Proverbs 14:34.
Many things do not constitute a
wrong in themselves until they dis
place something of greater value.
Many amusements are morally legi
timate, but if they keep us from
Church they do us amoral injury.
The Church is the pulse of national
righteousness. It means hospitals, col
leges, civic organizations and national
government; it meas better schools, 1
cleaner politics, purer social life; it
means law and order and respect for j
those ideals that make a nation great; j
it means the reformation of indivi- j
dual life; it is the voice of God ini
the midst of the people, calling them'
up and on. There is danger of that
voice being silenced with the clatter
ot our materialism. Let us think of all
the Church has done, of all it means
today, and then give its sacred in : j
fluences first place in our hearts and
minds.
EDITORIAL
A MEAN “MEANS”
One of the most peculiar things we
ha e noticed lately is that any woman
in these United States would trust
Gaston Means enough to turn over
any amount to him. His record has
been published often enough and is
sufficiently unsavory it seems to us,
to warn folks away from him.
We have often heard of the mean
cst man, but perhaps the plural sig-.
nificance of “Means” expresses just
that idea in a different way. In the
time of Christ on earth, people pos
sessed of demons were luntics. Some ,
reports intimate that Means is crazy.!
After all, we rather think any one!
who goes beyond a certain limit
conduct or deed must be “beside him- !
self, which is another way of saying | ‘
he is crazy. Such lunacy, however,!
does not excuse any one before his ,
Creator, and ought not before the | 1
law. (

C ATHOLIC C \NDIDATE
(
We appreciate the letter of approval. 1
by our correspondent, Mr. ( . B. Hodge ( 1
in another column. While we are! -
prohibition to the heart, yet that,
alone would not determine the way we.
cast our vote. Just being a Catholic
will not lose our support to any can
didate. We want to say once again
we believe the liquor question is a
moral question. Many leaders in the
Catholic church approve of the use
of drink. Let it be Protestant of Cath
olic, we have never and will never
vote for any one opposed to the 18th,
Amendment if there is any one else
running who is morally fit to hold of
fice and who favors law enforcement
in this respect. We will not vote nor
support any man for office who is im- 1
moral in any respect if we know it. |
provided his opponent is not more;
immoral. If both are evil, we will tiy j
to choose the lesser. !
,
PRINCIPAL VS. POLITICS
It is delightful to be complimented
for doing the thing one wants to do.
In Raleigh Monday Prof Thomas com
mended us for publishing so much
material of interest to farmers, sent
out by the extension service of State;
College. And here we have been feel
ing no end grateful to the department
for furnishing us so much good ma
terial. Foi the thing we desire with
all our hearts is to make The Record
a paper that will be helpful to our
farmers. We know how much we de
pend upon them, and that our suc
cess is well-night impossible unless
they succeed. And aside from any
personal interest, we do want to see
this section of our state become noted
for its farms and its farmers. Zebulon
will probably never be a city; but it
can be one of the very best little
country towns in this state or any
other. And we ask nothing better than
to help in this.
ANNOUNCEMENT
I hereby announce myself candi
date for county treasurer, subject to
the Democratic Primary of Tune 4th.

WHISKEY HERE TO STAY
j ~Judge~M eekins*""said the other day
that we will always have prohibition.
It may sound prosaical to many, and
shocking to others, but we likewise
'believe we shall always have intoxi
cating drink. For centuries there have
j been laws against stealing, murder
an<] other crimes, but people still
I steal and kill. Prohibition of any evil
has never stopped it and never will.
I i he best we may expect is to control
■it in some measure. As long as we
i have evil men ami laws, violations
j will not cease. An argument to repeal
i the 18th. mendment is a call to repeal
I every law of the land against every
crime prohibited, or punished by the
intention of such law.
We believe the judge is right, but
I the righteous must not forget that
| evil cannot be legislated out of the
(land. “Eternal vigilance is the price—
of everything. And, too, “when the
wicked rule the righteous mourn.”
JUDGE RHODES
Our readers will find the announce
-1 ment in this issue of the Record of
Judge W. H. Rhodes as a candidate
do succeed himself as judge of the
: Little River recorder’s court. He has
been judge of our court for sometime
| and the people have had an oppor
tunity to learn his attitude towards
! the law and its breakers. W bile we
Ido not propose to actively support
! any candidate for office through the
i columns of this paper, yet we do en
dorse very heartily the attitu
Judge Rhodes in treating all <
before his court with impart
whether they are white or color
I In the court of this week,
white men were found guilty o
breaking, he expressed his regt
! having to send them to the roat
their deed, yet he said he coul
do otherwise with a due sense <
oath and his duty to administe
tice impartially. He mentione(
fact shat he had sent two c
men t<> the roads a short tim
for perhaps a lesser crime i
sight of the law. W e fully
with this attitude of an officer
law. We, too, regret seeim
! neighbors suffer, but a worse
is to have the law partially a
1 justly administered. A judicia
is a just and impartial one.
! LACK OF HAY IS
POOR DAIRY FAI
A hay mow filled with nothi
air by March 1 is too common
currence in North Carolina and
tal to success in dairy farming
“A dairyman had better ha
much hay than too little,” say
dairy extension specialist at
College. “This means that a
acreage should be put to let
during the spring and sumnn
that each cow will have at leasi
tens for feed next winter. Som
the cows may not need all of this
| pecially if they get plenty of ot
' feed but it is best to have a little h
left over by the end of February. 1
difference will be seen in the m
pail.”
Mr. Arey finds from his work w
the progressive dairymen of N<v
Carolina that those who have a 1
anco on the profit side so the led
usually provide plenty of hay.
If a person is short on pasture
hay, it may be advisable to plan
small acreage to sudan grass and r.
let;
Good grazing can be secured from
I sudan grass and millet within six
| weeks to two months from the time
j of seeding.
HUNTING LICENSES
Washington.—More than 6,900,000
hunting licenses for taking wild game
were issued to sportsmen through
out the United States and Alaska in
the season of 1929-1930. Including
receipts from combined hunting and
fishing licenses, but not those from
licenses issued for fishing only, the
revenue to the states amounted to
more than $10,000,000.
Grow More Food
Governor Gardner suggests that all
who own idle land donate its use this
summer to those who have none, for
the growing of food, and that manual
labor be exchanged for plowing, when
necessary. He urges that all make
every possible effort to provide for
next winter, which may be severe,
and concludes with the followdng:
“Manly self help will protect us
from having to depend on the bitter
bread of charity. My idea is to trust
the government to do what it can.
Rut to remember that our safety and
our well-being next winter depend
most largely upon what we shall do
this spring and summef. We can
vide for ourselves and our families,
if we will do so.”

(Mrs. Theo. B. Davis.)
Nothing that I have read for a long
time seems to me so beautiful and
soothing as the verses following.
They sound exactly as if meant for
us of the present day; yet they wer
written 60 years ago by John G. Whi
tier. Read them, if you read nothii
else in this paper. And may th
help to take from your souls t
train and stress, as they have he
ed to do from mine.
Dear Lord and Father of mankind
Forgive our feverish ways;
Reelothe us in our rightful mind;
in purer lives they service find,
In purer lives thy service find,
In deeper reverence, praise.
Drop thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease;
Take from our souls the strain ar
stress,
And let our ordered lives confes
The beauty of thy peace.
Breathe through the heats of
desire
Thy coolness and thy balm;
Let sense be dumb, let flesh retire;
Speak through the earthquake, wind
and fire,
O <till small \rnino nf rflllll!

is very much impressed by the

pledging his vote for Mr.

time that it would be fine if

only fault I find with Mr.

dtion. As we need a man that
dedge himself to support it.
i I understand Mr. Garner has

If there is one thing that will pick your cotton

cotton. While ?'JO pounds would be better, put on
luO pounds per acre right after chopping. That
