JUDGE ADAMS FOR SUPREME
COURT
Reports from Raleigh indicate that
Judge Adams, of Carthage, is the
leading candidate for the vacancy on
the supreme bench of the state caused
by the death of Judge Allen, of
Goldsboro, last week.. Judge Adams
has a strong backing, and the fact
that he ran so close to the top in
the last election for supreme court
judges gave him a certain standing
that appears to count in his favor
now. Aside from that he is recogniz
ed over the state as a man of more
than ordinary judicial ability, and of
judgment in dealing with contro
versies that involve delicate points of
the humanities as well as of law and
social practice. The appointment is
to be made by the governor to hold
until the next general election, but
it is generally assumed that an ap
pointment now will be followed by
an election when the term is out. A
considerable number of prominent
lawyers are mentioned by their friends
as candidates but Judge Adams has
a larger following than any other
candidate, and his friends have strong
hopes that the governor will select
him as the next judge of supreme
court of North Carolina.
MID-PINES NEARING COMPLE
TION
Mid-Pines club house is nearing
completion, and the contractors ex
pect to have it about ready to turn
over along toward the latter part of
November. This will mean another
resort center in this part of the coun
ty, and will bring to the farmer an
other call for farm stuff, poultry,
eggs, and everything he has that is
suitable for another lot of new tables,
and for help for the new visitors.
TO THE PARENTS OF BOYS
Not long ago unskilled labor re
ceived high wages, while many edu
cated and trained men were poorly
paid. It is possible that the boys of
Vass became impressed with this,
and that they reached the conclusion
that it was better to go to work than
to go to school. But the condition
was abnormal and could not last. Now
we^re getting back to normal and in
the future more than at any time in
the past the abilities born of educa
tion and training will be in demand
and command a high price. With a
trained mind a man can multiply the
usefulness and earning power of his
hands many fold. Civilization is
built upon this fact. Education
brings real blessings, makes friend
ship valuable by teaching us how to
serve and be worthful, and gives to
life its deepest satisfactions. For
these purposes education is indis
pensable. Give your boys—your chil
dren—the best education you possibly
can. If you should reach a financial
limit, inspire your boy to earn his
way. Be satisfied with nothing less
for your children thani a complete
education.
THE BARBER
The barber is a servant of the pub
lic and as such should be given what
ever credit is due. As a matter of
fact, we think he doesn’t get any
credit at all—nor does he give much.
Nevertheless, he makes the masctiline
citizen feel better and look better.
We know how slurringly this artist
in his line is referred to in conversa
tions. On receiving a patient it takes
him but half-hour, to make him a
cleaner and better-feeling man—it
sometimes takes a doctor a month
or two. He is an artist in his line,
and should be respected because of
that. One thing is certain; an un
skilled barber is first to be cussed
and his name and that of his shop
the first to be hissed of all business
places. If poor barbers are to be
damned—as they generally are— why
should not good barbers be praised?
As for us, we think that a good bar
ber is a joy forever, and long may
he wave his jolly blade.
