EMILY FRANCIS CLAYTON.
Thursday September 1922, was
an eventful and momentous day in
the heme life cf Mr. and Mrs. Earl
Clayton. The stork, that kindly bird
whose mission is to bring bundles of
sunshine and joy from out beyond
and leave them in houses which God's
blessing id especially manifested,
came and left a baby girl, who came
as a benediction and filled the hearts
cf the parents with happiness at the
visit? of this child who could only tarry
for a short season, and then go
m back to the bosom of the One Who
V' said, "Suffer little children to come
unto me." As the days, weeks and
months went by the heart strings of
the little visitor entwined themselves
so cloeety around the inmates of the
home that every thought,- dream and
vision for the years to come were
centered around "Little Emily."
Emily was so loving that her parJ
ents and grandparents built air castles
for her day by day, hope was
builded upon hope that all would be
well and that the frail little body
would* become strcng and that she
would grow to slpendid girlhood and
womanhood, and with a wider_life
be the same source of sunshine to
many nstead of the few of her babyhood
days, but such was not God's
appointed way and after a lingering
illness of five weeks in which like a
tender flower she failed day by day.
Tuesday morning, June 19th, 1923,
the spirit of "Little Emily" crossed
the bar and parents and grandpar?
ents have only the memory of the
' . visit cf this sweet spirit, who canie
and filled. the home and lives with
joy beyond measure and whom we
know with beckoning hands is awaiting
those who knew and loved *hef
and ^ho Still wait hero until the call
comes to join Little Emily.
On June 20th, 1923, the funeral
services were held from the- home
dTTPT^whrrh she was tenderly laid to
rest in the family burying, ground
- beneatlL4iian^s beautiful floral offer
'ugs. In- the death of Little Emily
earth has ' >st a. blossom but heaven
has .gained a full grown flower.
Time, the great and only healer, will
reconcile the heart broken parents
and grandparents to the going of Little
Emily, but her memory will ever
remain -fresh in the hearts of all
who knew her.?F.

LAWLESSNESS.
I saw a very interestng article in
your issue of June tjth, copied from
The Manufacturers Record which
read, reread and read again, and expect
to read yet more, and I hope
the readers of The Courier read, considered
and will, act upon the great
truths contained in said article. I am
i glad (that Gov. Pinchot has something
to say against the disrespect and
disregard for law and order, which
is much in evidence, and' if our
' judges and other public officials and
prominent and influential people, also
the newspapers, yea, it is the duty
of all of us, and if we are truly patriotic
we will aid in overcoming and
driving out this terrible menace and
disgrace, lawlessness .which prevails
among us. One of the sad and wors'
features about this lawlessness is so
many of our people seem to be satis
fed or neutral concerning the violators
of the law, which are a menace
to the civilisation, liberties and freedom
of our country., Some of these
law violators"have much to say abou'
their personal liberties, rights an.l
freedom. These they think they must
have regardless of results and effects.
Thev do not ennsidpr tVio t\papp
rights and honor of others. They are
their own government and a law unto
themselves. Such people could well
be numbered among the criminal
class. The law itself and the purpose
behind the law is not at fault, but
weak, selfish human' nature is to
blame wheft justice becomes oppressive
to any person.
Perhaps no law of our country ha:
been more violated or as little respected
and regarded as our prohibi
t'-on laws. And why should this lie,'
when it was brought about mostly
by the direct vote - of the people?
but little legislation about it, is my
understanding. And yet, the majority _
say in effect, they will not submit to
the will of the majority. They are
having their degrading, corrupting
way too much. As long as our judge i
are so lenient, letting them off by
paying a little fine, or< a 'short time
on the pub!it roadsj as long a3 our
jurors, or half of them, are in sympathy
with blockading, and perhaps
some' cf them-eSjjfaged in it, we need
novcre*TF?t thi3 nefarious business : j
stop. There are many men who are!
not fit to serve on juries, for more I
than one reasop.
The writer of said article uses I
some plain strong language, sayine!
I the buyer of the bootleggers whiskey
j.is.equally piuy witp xne scner aiiJ
his influence for evil is vastly greater,
for he is sowing the seed of moral
rottenness in. the hearts of h;s own
children, and all of the young: people
who know of his law violation. Th-violater
cf . one encourages the violation
cf nil laws.
Civilization can not exist cxcept.it
is based on the supremacy, the mainia5nance
of law and on an adequate
punishment of the criminal who violates
the law. I believe the person
who wilfully, habitually nn.l persistently
violates the law should ' not
only be punished to the full extent
of the law, but shopld be denied the
right cf franchise. Why should the
law violator, one who has little or no
respect or regard for government,
law cr order be allowed to vote or
have any voice in these matters?
Where the blockader doing business
flourishes the character of the peo
piv guca uuivtlf bjr ucyici-iaiiCO,
vice flourishes and there is confusion
and every evil works. Dear people,
I am not writing to create any
envy, hatred or ill will, I have no
'desire to offend any one, but I wish
something could be done to get people
to think and consider seriously <?n
what will be the result ef the life
they are living. Will it bring.peace,
honor or blessings to themselves and
others? Are they sowing that which
they and others will reap in sorrow,
suffering, bitterness and regret??

FARMER REFUSES TO VACCIYATE,
LOSES HOGS
Dunn, N. C., July 3.?Due to. the
prevalence of hog cholera in Harnett
County, County Agent H. A. Edg?
decided to put on a campaign to vaccinate
the?begs of the county and
called on Dr. F. D. Owen who has
charge of this work for the State
College and Department of Agriculture
to help him out. The matter was
given much publicity and the farmers
were urged-to list their hogs
with the agent. A great number
took advantage of the event- and had
their hogs immunized from the disease
by the double treatment given by
Di. Owen.'About 1,000: were treatedNow
it costs about-35 cent to $1.25
to vaccinate an animal, depending on
its yizo but one good hog owner decided
that he wouldn't go to that useless
expense. About a week after the
treatment had been administered to
the 1,000 hogs, cholera broke out on
the farm of the man who refused to
have the work done. He called for
help. Hp"went posthaste fdr the Co,
agent, 8nd Mr. Edge being a- conscientious
sort of -fellow wanted to
help his farmer friend out. He used
the serum alone treatment and vz*
cinated the six fine hogs but some
of them were already sick and Dr.
Owens reports- that 'even tho Edge
mr,dg six fine shots, only two of the
six will be saved.
Each of the hags were worth $20
a: the time of being attacked with
the disease. Thus $5 would have saved
$30 cr more if the hogs were reckoned
i,P-?gms of meat this fall and
winter.
Dr. Owens savi that the serum
treaitmant is (a preventative agent
anri is not a curative agent ana so itis
wise-to - lock the door before fhe
horse is stolen?not afterwards. It
seems that he is right.
