s A REVIVAL OF HOPE—
| PROSPERITY FOR FARMERS—
j IMPORTANT “CROP NEWS”—
i NATURE’S WISDOM—
[ There is revival of the hope that
| President Coolidge will consent to
run for a second election this year.
Everybody knows he meant it when
he said “I do not choose.” Every
body knows he means it when he
says now he does not 'frant any of
his friends to lift a finger to nom
inate him.
But the oil scandal makes a dif
ference in the situation, and every
one of intelligence reserves the
right to change his mind.
Cotton “pickers and strippers”
replacing human fingers with ma
hjjtfnery, are now working in north
-western Texas.
This is good news. Prosperity
for farmers depends on machinery,
on doing with the earth’s products
what Ford, first, did with automo
hilp*.
In the Gary rolling mill half a
dozen men roll out steel rails that
ten thousand could not have pro
duced with old sledge hammer
methods. No human hand touches
the iron, until a tall young Scan
dinavian runs his keen blue eye
along the finished rail and signals
another man, who straightens it.
Machines dig the ore, put it in
ships, unload it, handle it, cold
| and hot.
Six men, some day, will run a
1,000 acre farm, and multiply its
crops by ten. Don’t worry about
over-population.
The infant death rate is down
in Pennsylvania and New York.
And that’s the most important
“crop news” this year.
If only civilization took as much
Interest in babies as it does in
young calves, pigs, boll weevils and
corn borer.
Consider Nature’s limitless fe
cundity.
Mr. Ringling shows you this year
a sea-elephant weighing four tons
that eats 5 per cent of his weight,
or 400 pounds of herrings at one
meal.
Any one of a dozen fishes in one
generation would fill all the oceans
and seas of the world solid with
fish if they and their descendants
all survive. The elephant, on the
other hand, lives a hundred years
and only has two or three chil
dren at most. Wise nature.
Canada has hanged George Mc
Donald, forger, confidence man and
murderer. His young wife, saved
from the rope by public appeals,
sent him word, “I shall never cease
praying for you.” She, poor wo
man, will have time to keep that
promise in her life imprisonment.
In Canada it MEANS life impris
! onment.
*'v Sparing that woman is a step
toward civilization. Once thousands
a year were hanged for pettty
• crimes. Hence the expression, “As
> well be hanged for a sheep as a
v lamb.” Children were hanged and
quartered in Franklin's childhood.

Co. Health Board
Urges Vaccination
Dr. Massey Gives Report of
Work Done During Past
Quarter; Board Commends
Efficiency
-♦
At the regular quarterly meet
ing of the County Board of Health
held here last week a resolution was
passed in regard to vaccination for
small pox that reads as follows:
“Be it resolved that the Board of
Health very strongly urges that all
children attending school and those
who are to begin for the first time
in the fall to be vaccinated now or
at least before the opening of the j
fall term, and further that the
Board of Education of Johnston
county be requested to cooperate
in seeing that this undertaking is
carried out.”
This resolution was passed be
cause of the prevalence of this dis
ease in Johnston county and east
ern North Carolina this year.
Dr. C. C. Massey, county health
officer, was present at the meeting
and submitted his report which
was commended by the board. His
report was as follows:
“Since January 1, 294 contagi
ous diseases nave ueeu i«u.
About 90 per cent of this number
were measles, the prevalence of
which at this time is not so great.
Measles is the most highly contag
ious of all the contagious diseases
of childhood. Epidemic spread oc
curs at irregular intervals, depend
ing largely upon the size of the
non-immune child population which
has accumulated since the last epi
demic, and when a case appears in
a school, further spread depends
chiefly upon, not so much the con
trol measures instituted, but the
immunity status of the children in
the immediate vicinity of the orig
inal case, that is, the number of
children in the community who
have not had measles. At the
present medical science has noth
ing effective and practical to of
fer for immunizing children again
st measles as it has for small pox,
typhoid fever, and diphtheria. Per
haps no one of the childhood dis
eases so lowers the resistance of
the individual rendering him liable
to secondary invaders, especially of
the respiratory tract, as does the
measles. Pneumonia, middle ear
disease and mastoiditis are the
more frequent secondary attackers.
All infants under two years of
age, regardless of their splendid
physical condition, all mal-nourish
ed, feeble, and dobilitat«|l children
should have all possible safeguards
thrown around them, for twothirds
jf the deaths from measles occur
in children under two years of age.
The problem of control is an ad
mittedly difficult one as it is fre
quently first recognized in the
school room with the bloom of
eruption well developed, and by
this time numerous and untrace
able contacts have been made, and
the damage so far as spread goes,
has already been done. Whooping
cough is slightly less contagious
than measles.
“Eight cases of small pox oc
cururing over this period made it
necessary to vaccinate a large
number, most of whom were school;
children. Since the first of the ■
year 3,129 have been vaccinated I
against small pox, decidedly rais- !
ing the immunity status against
this disease. People generally are
coming to realize that small pox
vaccination is an established sci
entific fact, that it is a safe pro
cedure, and sure protection against
small pox and that protection con
jferned by successful vacciantion
lasts for a very long timfc. The
indifference of the multitude and
the anti-vaccination propaganda
of the prejudiced and misinformed
is fast disappearing and vaccina
tion is being accepted, r.ot alone
as an individual precaution, but
as a community and social obli
gation.
“In this same period 28 schools
were visited and many children ex
amined for physical defects, ton
sils and adenoids removed from a
small number, refractive errors,
and dental defects corrected in
some, hookworm treatments given
others, while many were instruct
ed as to cure for scabies.

Senator George
Sounds Warning
Tyranny Lies Ahead If Ham
iltonian Idea of Government
Prevails; Johnston County
Well Represented in Expo
sition Events
Tyranny lies ahead for the
United States if the Hamiltonian
idea of government prevails, is the
opinion of Senator Walter F.
George, of Georgia, who made an
address at the banquet held in
connection with the East Carolina
Chamber of Commerce at Golds
boro Tuesday. The most needed re
form of our government today,
thinks Senator George, is in regard
to the bureaus, commissions, and
boards that administer national
legislation. The power delegated to
these bureaus has grown to an
unprecedented extent, and now
some of the bureaus have the last
word in administering certain leg
islation. He cited the Interstate
Commerce Commission which has
supreme power in controlling and
regulating the railroads of the
country.
Senator George’s ^address was
characterized by earnestness, sim
plicity, and clearness of thought.
He had a message for his hearers
and it needed not illustrations or
jokes to put it across. He made a
fine impression upon the 150 or
200 persons who heard him, as he
sounded a warning against the
growing power of commissions thus
crowding the legislative, judicial
and executive departments of
overnment out of their constitu
tional places. In his closing re
marks, he indicated how America
might perpetuate her greatness,
not by emulating material things,
but by helping the weak and un
der-privileged. America’s place in
civilization, he said, will in the
end be determined by* her position
with reference to the other nations
of the world.
The dinner which wa« preaided
over by Mr. Felix Harvey, Jr., of
Kinston, president of the East Car
olina Chamber of Commerce, was
the outstanding event of the sec
ond' day of the Exposition now
staged in Goldsboro. Col. George
Freeman of Goldsboro, made the
address of welcome to those pres
ent to which Dr. A. S. Oliver, of
Benson, responded. Others who
made brief speeches were State
Senator E. B. Dykes of Georgia
and W. C. Neill, ex-speaker of the
Georgia House of Representatives,
who drove 600 miles just to spend
the day with their good friend Sen
ator George. Congressman Aber
nathy and Judge Francis D. Win
ston were also called upon for
remarks.
The inclemency of the weather
Tuesday prevented the afternoon
program from being carried out
at the Exposition Hall, though a
few braved the rain and viewed
the exhibits and automobile show.

For 1927 Taxes
— ♦
Tax Collector Grimes Urge^
Payment Before Law Must
Take Its Course; Soon Be
Listing Time Again
Johnston county’s tax collector,
Mr. W. F. Grimes, is doing every
thing he can to get the tax money
due now, before another levy is on.
He has no desire to be hard on
any one, and he is therefore is
suing an appeal to those who have
not yet paid their 1927 taxes in
the following statement:
“I will say that May 1st is ad
vertising time. All who want tc
avoid paying cost and advertising
expenses can do so by paying be
fore the first Monday in May. At
that time, the law demands that 1
advertise the land, but I hope there
will be none to advertise, though at
this time there seems to be right
much that the books has not been
paid on. It seems on my part, a
very hard duty to perform, but it
is my aim to carry out the de
mands of this law as nearly as pos
sible. I sincerely hope that those
who have not paid will take ad
vantage of this opportunity and
: pay between now and the first
| Monday in May. After that time I
| shall send out men in the various
| townships to collect from those
who have not paid. If the taxes
are not paid at once the law will
force them to garnishee, levy
upon, seize and sell personal prop
erty, which will be a very disagree
able duty for an officer to perform,
i Why not come and pay at once and
avoid this trouble and expense?
Your tax seems high enough with
out your waiting and causing this
extra expense to come on you.
“I would like to ask the question,
| ‘What is the cause of ipeople
waiting so long to pay their
I taxes?’—when they know, or
| should know, that it is their legal,
! moral and Christian duty. Is it
1 hard times, unthoughtfulness, or
j carelessness? At this time we have
! many good men that have not paid
I their 1927 tax. Men who are sup
' posed to set good examples along
this line, men of responsible po
| sition, professional men, good bus
iness men, and good men that I
| understand are thinking of run
ning for responsible positions in
office. We also have on the tax
books at least one thousand young
men who are due only a two dol
lar poll tax. These young men
seem to be going about, having a
good time, looking prosperous,
feeling good, and yet paying little
or no attention to their legal duty
as a tax payer. I want to say to
you, young men, get busy and pay
your tax. If you don’t, the tax col
lector will soon come to see you
and he then will add a dollar or
more cost to it, for the service of
a notice is now, under the law, a
fee of one dollar.
may isi is lax lifting time tor
1928 tax. How do men that hold
back, and in one sense, act the
part of Annanias and Saphira, men
who do not readily carry out their
part of the burden of the govern
mental affairs by cooperating and
paying their tax early, expect men
in charge of affairs such as espec
ially our county commissioners, to
give us genuine and good economic
government? I often hear of men
making the statement that it pays
them to hold back their tax money
and if necessary let our county
commissioners borrow lots money
and pay big interest. Now asl
yourself this question, ‘Is it treat
ing my neighbor and fellowmar
who has paid his tax, fair?’ I
your conscience tells you it is
then I will say no more at pres
ent.
“Dear editor, let us thank yoi
for this space in your valuabli
paper and your hearty co-opera
tion of the furtherance of gooi
governmental affairs in our gram
old county of Johnston.

Sarah Wright Who
Defied Officers I n
O’neals Township
Had Been Missing
71 Days
Coroner Kirkman was call
ed to Oneals township Wednes
day to hold an inquest over
the dead body of Sarah
Wright, colored woman who
was found in a ditch Tuesday
morning by a negro youth who
made report of his findings to
the sheriff's office here. The
■woman was lying in a ditch
face, down when found, and
parts of her bedy were cover
ed with several inches of
water. The woman had been

had been dead only about a
week.
It will be recalled that Sarah
Wright was the woman who defied

living. When she was finally ousted
from the house she fled through
the woods and had not been seen
since until she w'as found dead.
Coroner Kirkman impanelled
