V ' ' ' When a dictator is hoisted to power because of the, dissatisfaction of the masses with things as they are, and finds-unemployment to be the main cause, his task is absurdly simple. He puts one-third . in the army, uses another third in factories to make equipment to keep the army supplied and shoots or exiles the remaining third. Consequently there is no unemployment. Then the dictator puts the army to building mili tary roads, forces the people to accept worthless;, paper money at face value, and carries on merrily: until the great collapse. K .Somehow, we in the United States have managed to come through, in spite of those who live among . us and say that our system of government is all wrong..

RALEIGH, Nov. 3.Having been notified through the secretary of state at Washington that the Brit ish government "would be pleased to accept this gift for its archives," Dr. Carl V. Reynolds, state health officer, will 'have framed immediate ly an official copy of the birth certificate of Virginia Dare, which he will forward to Ambassador Robert Bingham, in London, for formal presentation there. . The certificate will bear the sig natures of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Governor Clyde R. Iloey, and the frame used will be similar to those .vised with the cer tificates presented to the President and the Governor. . Inquiry as to whether His Maj esty's government would accept the gift was made through Secretary Hull, who addressed the British Embassy at , Washington an the subject. The state department has forwarded Dr. Reynolds the fol lowing formal reply: "His Majesty's Charge d'Affaires presents his compliments to the Secretary of State, and, with ref-' erence to his Note No." 325 of the 28th September last, has the honor to inform him, under instructions from His Majesty's principal Sec retary of State for Foreign Affairs, this His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom deeply ap preciate the proposal of Mr. Carl V.

When -the ballots were counted the verdict of "guilty" was unanimous. The stubborn juror afterward said to his neiahhnr "T can't understand how it happened, for I certainly did not: vote to con vict the defendant." Question : "Shall we do evil that good may coine?" ; ,In another case a man was ex pecting to be reported to the grand jury for an alleged crime, and at noon recess of court he .asked a juror who was his neighbor and1 friend, to notify him if a true bill were found. The juror told him that he was under an oath not to give away any secrets, but he said, "About this time tomorrow when you see me walking along here, ask me1 about the matter and if I don't answer you will know there is a true bill." Why should any one not do a good turn to a friend in distress? "Let him that is without sin among you first cast a stone." B. M. ANGEL. Otto Letter-Press WHAT JURORS CAN DO ; It was at least 85 years ago that the following cases occurred : A man was on trial in the super ior court of Macon county for a misdemeanor, and when the jury retired to deliberate they at once voted eleven to one to convict the defendant. One juror held out so '.ong that one, a prominent citizen, whispered to another : "You know him; pick him and find out why he won't agree." . . His excuse was, "The defendant married my wife's cousin and I can't afford to convict him." The aforesaid prominent citizen suggest ed that they vote by ballot.
