Foreign Advertising Representative ".Wednesday, June 30, 1934 CONGRESS ADJOURNS Now that Congress has adjourned we hope to see" President Roosevelt carry on with his good work. When ' we consider the state of affairs just,' a little more than a year ago it is, wonderful what he has accomplish-j ed. Of course, some of the things which he set in motion have not; proven 100 per cent as he would have had them, but undoubtedly ne has batted better than 75 per cent^-j and you will remember he said he thought that would be a mighty fine average. I One of the best things he has put across was the NRA; this has been a power for good, though there _have been disappointments in this to some, but on the whole it has worked wonderfully well; it has shortened hours of labor, at the same time increased wages, and it has done much to kill cut-throat competition; it has put many manu facturers. who were just about reday to give up, on their feet, and it has wonderfully stimulated business. We would say of all of the alphabet ical forms of relief it has been the most successful. The CWA has not done so well; In fact, we doubt if it has been worth the cost; we all remember how every one in this country, from the higher-ups down to the smallest weekly1, newspaper, criticised Great Britain for its dole, but if wo are honest we must admit that the dole as practised by Great Britain has proven more successful than the dole, under the name of CWA: as evidence of Its failure It has been abolished and the FERA set up to take its place, but with jt ?being handled by the same manage ment it is doubtful as to what wilji be the outcome; but we are willing to leave it all in the hands of our wise president, for we believe he knows and will bring things to pass. J Before Congress adjourned almost' all of the important legislation ask-! ,ed by the President was passed: some few of what might be called minor things went over, but enough to give President Roosevelt the! greatest power probably ever given a President of these United States. Before adjourning Congress passed a bill giving the President power lo revise, upward or downward, the tariff without the' consent of con gress. When it Is remembered ws are living under the most unjust tariff laws ever enacted it can read ily be seen the possibilities in tills' act; and we are confidently expect-! ing to see many changes which will operate to the great advantage of both the manufacturer and the farmer; it will be so revised tiat the manufacturer will find a market for some of the surplus, and the farmer will likewise find an outlet for some of the surplus which has be^n the bane of the country for the past several years., ^ Undoubtedly the two most in the mind of the President at this time are the farmer and the .laboring man; while he did not ask for the Bankhead and K^rr bills, fxe will ?"most Hirnl;- tlyn them and if Hie bills prdVe to be what their authors claim for them, the farmer will be amply protected, and the labor bill passed Just before adjournment ought to enable the President to set costly and often. deadly strikes. With the adjournment of Con gress we are looking for a real re | rival of business .and ere another Congress meets we are hoping things will so have oelared up that there will not be that unrest usually fol-, lowing a gathering of the National ! Congress. While sitting at our desk yester day afternoon a car drove up on^ the sidewalk headed, apparently. direct for our door. Who was lt?| Why, Carl Ooerch, of course. Wa told him we knew It was some dam fool but we did not know which one. He said, "you are all wrong, Just another dam phool." But Carl is the. only original, and if he did not act out of the ordinary it would not be Carl Ooerch. He started a ven-, ture In Raleigh In which we all said he could not last six months, and lo, he has passed his first mile^ post, celebrated his first year, and isj going strong, and best of all, 's making money. The State la really a unique publication, nothing else like it, and If you are not reading it you are missing a real treat. Carl was accompanied by his wife s sister and we are glad he told us who his companion was, for we thought he was pulling something over on Mrs. Georch. Of course, he intro duced us, but we were so struck with her good locks, and so sur prised that one with such charms shouM be riding around with him.; that we completely lost the name. We think we were excusable, dont you? ? O The Democratic State convention; (will meet in Raleigh tomorrow, when Hon. Cameron Morrison will be the keynoter. If Cam can't put on the rousements ho one else need try- They will be ther from Manteo to Murphy, and all intermediate points. BEULAH W. M. U. MEETING AT MILL CREEK CHURCH The W. M.

An Appreciation We. the members of Lambeth Memorial Baptist church and Mis sionary Society wish to give a tri bute of honor to our esteemed and loyal friend and W. M. S. president, Mrs. A. L. Boyd. We attempt to express in the language of the heart the measure of her whom we had come to revere and love as a mother in our churciL- 8h was a matchless leader In the society and church, who made full proof of her service, as the Lord imparted these guts her.. She did a full day's work ft the missionary program, the great est cause ofl earth. She rallied to the help of her fel low-soldiers of the cross and ket the revival fires burning both 1 the society and the church and caused the Spirit to take hold upon the hearts of the people. Her mis sionary zeal could not be surpassed nor forgotten. She threw her whole soul behind every phase of the mis sionary work looking to' Jesus for guidance. She was . a spur and in spiration to "expect great things from God and attempt great things for God." Her soul was formed for the duties and the delights of a great leader and missionary endea vor. Nature fashioned her in with the general plan. She had turned her attention to the missionary and church life, and was truly among the great. She answered the call to missionary work in her own church and community. She worked for a great victory for the church and to win a lost world to Christ J and claimed the Bible to be the greatest missionary textbook. Her life proved the missionary organiza tion to-be the greatest organization^ an army of the. living God, anl* every *90ldler has serious business in it. I never knew one whose power was gerater to arouse the heart tp j duty and the soul to a sense of mis- ' sions. Her life was inspiring and convincing. Those who knew her could not fail to catch that she fervently sought their spiritual well being, and that her heart burned with holy zeal for the Master's Kingdom. As she lived and taught, i hunger and thirst for God were awakened. She sought always to guide the church's business to suc cessful conclusion. She was fitted for such leadership because she pos sessed a strong mind, a quick percep tion and sound judgment in all christian ministry. Hallie Mae Wagstaff.
