The Kiwanis Club held its weekly Wednesday meeting at the school house at West End where the women of the community provided one of the best dinner layouts that has been encountered in a long time. The gang that went so far to he fed did ample of both students and parents, thus making a good year in spite of diffi culties and loss by ftre. NO SCRUB BULLS IN GASTON COUNTY. Gaston county is well on the way to be free of scrub dairy bulls and these are being replaced rapidly with valuable purebred stock. “A committee of leading dairymen, supported by the bankers of the coun ty, are behind County Agent L.

The floods poured through and dug out a big *deep hole on the lower side of the road, and when the high water went down a beautiful lake was there cut deep into the sand. Now the flood also cut a pretty channel out into the main creek, and that creek has been pretty well filled with little bass from the plants that have been made in the other sections of the creek. With the high water reaching up to the Knollwood dam little bass poured into the hole below the dam in enormous quantities. With the re ceding of the waters that which was held in the sandy basin below the dam seeped down inte the sand and there was a pool of fish that would make your hair curl. With the water flailing lower and lower in the sand Mr. Maze saw that the fish were in for a hot dry fall if something could not be done for them so he called his crew and they brought buckets and they filled bucket after bucket with- littles fishes and carried them up to the deep water in the dam, and sev eral bushels of young bass were put in the new lake. When those fish grow up in proper time that lake will be so full of fish that it will be like taking pennies from the contribution box to go there and fish. “As teh Commissioner aptly points One farmer in Surry county has solved the feeding problem.

Laws similar to the Baumes La\ys in New York State would mean l?fe imprisoment for confirmed criminals of this type, upon fourth eonviction for a felony. They could not be turned loose, time after time, on a helpless public. Anti-pistol legislation, which would prohibit the law-abiding citi zen from owning a gun on the theory that such measures would tend to pre vent crime, would in no way deter this type of law-breakers from dealing death and destruction while perpetrat ing their unlav^rful acts. Let us tight en up the laws affecting criminals rather than those affecting the home owner or lover of sports. The predicted evils of this com pulsory insurance appear in practice. And these, on top of the fact that it fails to secure results compatible with its expense and burden, indicate that Enterprising farmers in Eastern Carolina are now hogging down com in the dough stage and getting their animals ready for the high market.
