Editoi Entered as r,ccond-cl3ss mail matter jt e ”<*, 1925. at the Postofficc at v ~jl n. North Carolina, under the Vet of March 3. 1878 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE f 'ne Year v ’iy Months ■*iree Months Editorial “GIVE THANKS” Whether we say Thanksgiving, or Thanks Giving, whether we do it on< way or another bay be all the same to man and God. If we really give thanks to God, it follows of necessity that we will give of our substance to help God care for the helpless an-' needy. From Thanksgiving Day worship nothing comes directly to man except the satisfaction of a greatful heart that has expressed itself to God through giving to those more unfortu nate. All Christians should pray and d< so. And he who prays also praises; and he who praises, or gives thanks also pays. If we h ave not already done so, let us on next Sunday make a liberal thank-offering to God sot His many mercies and blessings of the year. We may have little but many have far less. Jesus said, “The pool ye have always with you.” and M said, too, “Inasmuch as ye did it un to the least of these, ye did it unt me.” The l'eal test of gratitude is found in our willingness to do according T our ability in both a material and spiritual way with whatever God h*s blessed us with self, substance, ser vice. CONCRETE OR <T I/IT RE FOR CHILDREN Which Shall it be, concrete for the j feet or culture for the head <>f the next generation? .That fjeems to be the question that will he discussed pro and con in the coming General Assembly. This question faces the people of North Carolina for their serious con sideration. Since many of the coun try folks have had to go hack to horses and Hoover carts, their sympathies are not quite so strong for concrete roads. And it is likely that the pool horses would appreciate a change t sand and clay for a while. Now Attorney Brummitt has come forward with Mr. Maxwell’s campaign suggestion that the millions contribut ed by the people of the state in gaso line taxes be .shared by the schools We do not know whether this would in any lileasun relieve the terrific pressure of other taxes or not, but it would stop the steadily mounting 1 state deficit, which we are inform'd by Mr. Brummitt is now arouu.l SI 5,000,000. Tin hist legislatin' seems to have exhausted every means by which additional taxes could he levied, and -nine way out must he found. We see no reason why the gasoline ImV i liii il'i> -'ll'PPil till* )'< )!1 (i hllilllmL' Vi’VVVVVV V’A-V ip We Are * ►♦« That for the past twenty-seven years we have |teen able to servo the people of Zebulon anrl surrounding country. » y+ That people have recognized us as reliable drug gists and have patronized us when in need V* of reliable medicines. , v t C That we are today able to offer to our eusto- C mers the best merchandise at the lowest V possible prices. ►> That we are in good health and able to try to V continue this service to everyone who is in need of the services of a reliable pharma k (,st | Zebu lon Drug | Company li’VW v A* ’VVVV’o VVV and upkeep than it would be in the education of our hoys and Kiris. It ; will take a long time for our present road system to wear out or wash I away. In the meantime our boys and girls will grow into men and women They must be educated today or be ignorant citizens tomorrow. Ke be Tieve : t is far mere important to fur nish good schools for our children ■ than good roads for our feet. But we may have both. There is no reas on to discriminate against childhood for the sake of ease and comfort in ' travel. There is no reason to discrim inate against childhood for any pur ‘ pose. If necessary, we might wel’ reverse the whole proposition and put our children in the favored place that our highways hold. And, too, we'be lieve there is a lot of good money be , ing extravagantly used on our roads because of its abundance. And this , is being done while dire distress faces r, our state. We heartily agree with Mr. Brum -3 mitt as we did with Mr. Maxwell’s i suggestion that a part of the gaso line tax should he used for schools ot other purposes. In the light of pres- I ent conditions, to insist on holding , funds from this tax for road purposes ] only, makes the operation of the high way dejiartment a regular road hog and the other interests of the people J are done “dirt” thereby. It is unju.->t . for the highway commission to crowd all lesser interests away from this . rich swill running from the gasoline and not giVe the “pigs” an equa’ t chance at the trough. And we dx f not believe Mr. Jeffreys would con -1 tend or even approve of such a course , ' of discrimination. We do not know who set up the ar gument that this fund is sacred t< the roads and no other interests >1 the people may share therein, but wc j sincerely hope that the coming Gener al Assembly will knock this idol from I off its pedestral down where othm | departments of sta.te stand and let it take its turn along with them. Holloway’s Hits By James Holloway. 'I This department suspended busi ness the past week in order to watch j the political situation and participate in the jubilation over the great demo cratic victory. One would have to I exhaust all the Adjectives and the i superlatives in the dictionary to do justice to the great National politi cal revolution which took place on November Bth. It was stupendous, overwhelming and devastating to President Hoover an,| the Republican party throughout the entire nation, since the first President was elected, no election has carried with it such complete repudiation of the party in i power as the recently Conducted con test has accomplished. Four short years ago, the Republicans rode into II power on a tidal wave of popular en ■ jthusiasm. Second only in its magni tude, to the one wi have just eon | eluded. j! The Democratic party lias been '-a>- j | led on by the electorate of the Na tion, to assume what is probably, the 'most tremendous responsibility anv I party has ever before been confronted I with. Woe unto them it they fail in j their duty to the people. They have . j both houses of Congress by overwhel . mine majorities to support the Pres' dents recommendations and program. No alibi will protect them from the popular wrath, if they fail to perform in a manner that is pleasing to the nation. On the other hand, if Presi dent Roosevelt and the Democratic Congress work together with an eye single to the best interest of the great majority of the common people, the democratic party will rule this nation for many years to come. Governor : Roosevelt has kindled anew in the hearts of the men and women of th ; country the smoldering fires of hope and faith, which the past twelve years I of Republican misrule and favoritism j has almost smothered; the greate-t I opportunity for everlasting fame an 1 glory has been placed within the grasp | of President Roosevelt and the Demo cratic party which has been offered to any President or political party for the past Century. If the democratic politicians are permitted by Mr. Roosevelt to indulge | in a mad scramble for patronage fav | ors before the many vital issues now confronting the country are solved, it will bring disaster and lasting shame upon the party, as well as the Presi dent. The wise course for Mr. Roose jvelt to pursue, will be for him to serve i notice on Congress as soon as he is J inaugurated, that his legislative pro -1 gram will take precedence over pat ! ronage consideration and no jobs will |be given out until his program has been passed. The adoption of this policy by the president, would assure favorable action on his recommenda tions within three months time by Congress. When ever a. President distributes the patronage at his dis posal before Congress passes upon his program, he is then at the mercy of any or all of the long winded crooked Senators and Congressmen, as he has ( surrendeded his only weapon of de fense and offense. The writer be lieves in Governor Roosevelt, his rr i pressed idc ;ls end aspi.atioi har monize perfectly with the desires and needs of the country, he is in the most favorable position to hasten the com ing of a brighter day to this goodly| land and until he shows by his sub-1 sequent attitude, that he was only! promising for political effect, this scribe will continue to believe in ITs honesty of purpose and hs noble mo tives. Would-be federal office holders, are springing up as numerously a thi seven year locust all over North ( ar - lina. Senators Bailey and Reynolds are already overwhelmed with appli-, cations for jobs. The best and safest j course for them to pursue would b< ! to ignore all the importunate job! hunters and select candidates who show some disposition to observe the proprieties in their demands. This element is usually composed of -men and women without any claims on patronage by reason of any party s< r vice, hut they hope by pull and persis tency to force themselves on the ap pointing powers. They generally suc ceeded in theii ef' irts because of toe cowardJe altitude of public office tin - e who are en titled me honors of a political na ture that go with victory. It requires no prophet nor -on of a. prophet to forsee the disastrous re sults which yill inevitably follow for Senator Bailey foil year- from now) as a result of the enemies he will ac cumulate by the distribution of the/ federal patronage lie will have at his disposal. The day of reckoning for Boh Reynold-' will come two years! latei tiian that of Senator Bail -c I j Even appointment either Senat a I n kes will bring him one friend >fj doubtful value and a thousand one-, rnies. A disappointed Democratic of j ficc se’ker is more dangerous to a! public official than an army with j banners. He will make ."ve times the! effort to de’Vr.t a man whe refu- ‘ j him a political appointment than h. , V ill id it .'if, ' It.

The presiding Judge., the Grand Jury and the Raleigh News and Ollservor have raised a howl over the contemplated steal but it D a safe ten to one bet the crooks who an back of the deal will put it over. That bunch respects no law but their own desires and they will find away to carry out their plan regardless of the Judge, the Grand Jury or the News an,| Observer.

It is to be hoped i the new Legislature will approach r their duties with an honest determina e tion to serve the state and its people to the very best of their ability. Tim '■ course alone will crown their efforts > with success. i 1 LAWS AND LAWYERS • An exchange says: Lawyers are in 1 the main blame for the multiplicity ot laws with which the country is bur ' dened today, as well as for the dila r tory tactics exhibited by our courts of high and low degree, e Some time ago the Illinois Bar As -3 sociation declared that “the subject -of law reform is technical and the ’> lawyers must deal with it, yet they t do nothing, or are hopelessly divided.” 3 No less an authority than Chief Jus tice Taft condemned our present sys - tern of criminal procedure. A similar ’ expression was made in a resolution ’ of the American Bar Association. Congress and state legislatures are • dominated by lawyers; all law's are ! framed by lawyers, (many of them to - be later declared unconstitutional by ’ other lawyers acting in the capacity -jof judges); all court procedure is es tablished by lawyers yet the highest authorities among them admit that I they have made a sorry mess of it - all. ! What is the remedy? We don t know. Ask a lawyer. i USE THE NEWSI’ VEERS (From The Concord Tribune) The advertising department of the (J. C. Penny Company, Nation-wide operators of chain stores, gives its store managers this advice: “1. Do you want to be certain of [reader interest? Then use the news | papers. Many a circular receives only ! a casual glance, while the local news paper with hundreds of general news items is read thoroughly from first to last page. “2. Do you want representation in the same shopping window as the other merchants of your town use? Then use the local newspaper. Women the purchasing agents of the home read newspaper advertising daily I whereas many a circular is tossed in to the waste basket without a glance “3. Do you want fast action? Then j use the newspaper. The ad that von run today, if it contains real merchan dise news, will bring immediate re sults tomorrow. You can receive and sell out a consignment of merchrn disc with newspaper advertising in less time that it t:ike< to prepare a circular. “■4. Do you want to be recognized • 'i factor ■!' importance in vour community a real home-town store? If you do, use the newspaper—it un douhtedh is a strong factor in the | building of good will and acceptance by the whole town as a good place j to trade.” Washington Current Comment The election is over, and again the [country turns its eyes toward <’on- I gross, which soon will meet in short (session. During the eompaign, both ■ parties went softly regarding the hear .matter. Imt it seems lik.-lv that, the prohibition question will attract the I early attention of the legislators. It jis expected that alterations in the I Volstead Ai t will he urged on the j ground of increased revenue, uu,j with ' .this aspect presented prominently, a lowering of the beer barrier may be t-.J rated by many who would other iv, i.-e oppose such a step. Report- as to wl at the new President will do -s • I a he la- denied -one' i>: th .■> pacifically, and most of them goner-' j ••.•nfer-incfc and cor. id"' >n be ng nece ary before questions can he settled which the paper- here and '•road haw taken upon themsolvo t ■ decide off-hand Among the rumors j that may he laid a-ide without «i -e --ji >nd thought, is the one to the effect that President Hoover m:iv resign. ' The originator of the suggestion, how ever, deserves some credit for digging up a scheme that is certainly novel, even though beyond the hounds of possibility. The President has in vited Mr. Roosevelt and his advisers to a conference on the foreign debt situation. By the time this column is in print, the conference may have transacted its business and adjourn ed. None but the most bitter parti sans on each side will repudiate the maxim that two heads are better than one. Mr. Hoover is to be commended for extending the invitation, Mr.' Roosevelt for accepting it. Before; Washington is fairly over the worry! caused by the pre-election presence of j large bodies of men in the capital to uige their demands upon Congress. a ■ ' 1 f the post-election presence of similiar bodies loom large, and anxiety in ? creases accordingly. There is nothing e to fear from riot, since most of the j merchers, whatever be the cause they p advocate, are not of the rioting typo. - The problem, rather, is to permit and even cnc.iurage, petition anil remon i strance, with a minimum amount of l suffering among the petitioners. It is - in this spirit that the authorities of , j the District of Columbia have sug gested that the marchers of the xu s ture exercise the forethought that should characterize the advance of any army, and not omit the custo-; mary baggage prosperity, Washing-! , ton has its resident poor to care for t and an unprovisioned group of visit . ors simply takes the bread from the . mouths of those who may be worse s off than the guests. i , The news items have beaten Edoie t Cantor to it in at least one instance. • A man named Dollar, alleged to be ! owing on ba<( checks in an eastern ’ city, had his career terminated by - Policeman Dunn. A traveller, returning from Italy l says that every worker in that coun try has three hours for lunch, which ? raises some speculation as to what a ? solid and leisurely Italian dinner must i be like. . ' A paper remarks that a candidate for the Senate was defeated because he ran on the platform that he was needed to save the country from Com . munists, Socialists, Nudists and In fidels. Perhaps his general fanatical tendency made it wise that he be kept at home, but on the other hand, it may be that an outspoken Peter the He>- mit, preaching a crusade against the elements mentioned, might he quii.* useless in the higher legislative body. Armistice Day celebrations took m a quiet tone this year. There were parades and speeches, hut the royster ing tumult of a decade ago was lack ing. The boys of 1918 had become sobered men. The khaki, although still bright, will fade as surely as did the blue and the gray. The natives of an island in the 1 southern seas honor a friend by keep ing his burial place in mind. When they questioned Capt. Cook, the early i explorer, along that line, he replied that no person subject to the will of the ocean could foretell his end oi place of rest. At Santa Cruz in Culpa a twenty-foot mass of water, sweep ing dioroward from the great deep . has taken a toll of about two thousand lives. ( aptain Cook was right. The comments of the Demociatii press upon the election have been by no inclination to exult over a fallen foe. The victory ha> been accepted by Mr. Roosevelt and his followers with a quiet dign.it> hat has attracted the notice rtf th 'opposition that commanded its re px-ct. Hackee hv none save those w ho - i ■ d for it, the new administration is assured of adequate support, yet t is pleasing to observe that all fix support will not come from that quarter. It is the steadfast intent of Democracy to serve the entire citizen-; ry well, without regard to party: That this intint is recognized, is evident from tin confidence with which m »st of ill "so who cast their votes for M>- Hoover accept the result of the bal-j lot a d look forward to the brighter! day.
