Tuesday, January 24, 1928 Were We Figuring Too Fast? Are we figuring too fast. For some weeks the Williamston people have been figuring on the best loca tion for the proposed high-school building. Now, it begins to look like we were wasting our time and that we may not get a building at all. The County Board of Commission ers found as a fact that the crowded conditions in both the Williamston and Robersonville Schools made it imperative that new buildings be built, and authorized the erection of two buildings recommended by the county board of education at a cost of $65,000 each. The board of com missioners also authorized the county board of education to procure a loan from the State loan fund for the pur pose of building these houses. According to newspaper reports, the State board has granted one loan of $50,000. The county board seems to know nothing about where the Enviable or The UnivertUy Sews Letter appar ently regrets that North Carolina spends less for theaters per capita than any other State in the Union. It says North Carolina holds the unenviable position of being at the foot of the list. We are not so sure that it wouldn t be better to say Carolina enjoys the enviable distinc tion of s|tending less for theaters and wasting less time in them than any other State. The greatest trouble with the aver gae American today and the source of his greatest loss and waste is time thrown away. There may be many good lessons in the theatre, but those who attend most can safely say the greatest of the lessons learned at the show are hugging, kissing, and shooting, three Republican s May Wait The administration does not relish being controlled by the coalition in the House of Representatives which sent a tax bill to the Senate with a reduction of $290,000,000. Presi dent Coolidge, Secretary Mellon, and Chairman Smoot, of the Senate Fi nance Committee, have made plans to sidetrack the tax bill until after March 15, when the first tax re turns qf the year are due. The ad More Religion and Less Fighting Things are getting rather hot in Congress when two prominent Sena tors clash over the Democratic/xan didates for the nomination for Pres dent. It is, of course, proper for every man to have his preference for Presidential candidates and every ' & Sell It at Auction LIVE STOCK - * REAL ESTATE , ' MERCHANDISE T MORTGAGE SALES Or the World, Or Anything In It Or On It See Or Write H. H. Morton, Auctioneer WILLIAMSTON, N. C. $50,000 is to go, according to a state ment from the county superintendent of schools. He has had no informa tion whatever why the full amount was not granted. There are 570 children in the Wil liamston school district to go into 10 rooms, which have l>een overrun, and the first and second grades are housed in the cellar. The Robersonville school census is 489, with only a few more rooms. We haven't the exact figures on their attendance. / ' In case funds can not be gotten from the State loan fund on the note of the county board, then it wll be necessary to get the money in some other way. , . • > It would be next ,to criminal to turn 570 children into 10 small rooms to educate them; but it would be much worse to close the schoollfouse doors in their faces because *f the want of standing room inside. Unenviable? things that will surely break down the moral conscience of boys and girls. : The fellow that wastes his time at the theater will, in riiost cases, get low grades in school. Although we have no figures on the subject, it is a safe prophecy to say that 90 per cent of the honor roll pupils in the North Carolina schools are seldom seen at the theater. As a rule clerk" at the store or the bank, who' spends his spare time evenings in the public library, gives his employer better satisfaction than the clerk who gets the theater habit. It seems to us that the News Let ter might well say every §tate in the Union should North Carolina for her sanity in spending so little for theaters; ministration leaders insist that after March 15 it will be possible to show by figures the condition of the Treasury's finances, and determine just how far tax reduction should go. There is a titan struggle among the Republicans and Democrats, and Senator Smoot says '.'he's got the votes," and he does not propose to let the Democrats dictate this im portant legislation. Hardly —with 1928 a presidential election year! thing else. We think, however, it is rather poor taste for United States Senators to become bitter about a matter of this kind. It will not help the-' Democratic party, nor will it help the country to enter into a re- Jlgious fight. Things ToJi hink About By JAMES D. TAYLOR Present and Future An acquaintance of mine takes great pleasure in telling those with whom he comes in contact about the greatness of his famous ancestors. Very few i*ople are interested in what your ancestors were. They are interested in you. What are you? Another acquaintance likes to re late his past achievements. That is something of the past. The import ant thing is what is he achieving now and what will he achieve in the fu ture? The Apostle Paul, one of the great est men in history, had attained many great things before he wrote his letter to the Philippians. Here was an educated man* Well read, he had been doing things in a big way. But he forgot the past and looked to the future. He went so far as to forgive those who had been unjust to him. Of the Jews five times re ceived he stripes, in prison more fre quent, in deaths oft. Thrice was he | l>eaten with rods, once was stoned, j thrice suffered shipwreck. Often he i was in perils of robbers and mistreat ]ed on every hand. Vet he forgave ! and asked God to forgive. He for , tot all this and looked to the future. | And this man who had done so much for all those of that age and all ages i to come humbly forgot the past and pressed on toward a still higher mark. To Paul this was an ini|x>rtant thing. "This one thing I do, forget ting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before." . , PROBE ATTEMPT TO POISON FOUR Pitt Authorities Puzzled by Attempt To Wipe Out • )Entire Family 'ireenvTHr; January Hh -ShrrifTVof fice th today continued to investigate an attempt of an unknown person or pet sons to wipe out an entire Pitt county family by poisoning, but up to the noon hour today nothing of any definite nature had been brought to light.* Will Hardy, wife and two daughters, Who reside on the Washington high way, five miles of this city, compose the family that had the narrow .es cape from death and were today re ported to be slowly recovering from the effects of the poison which had been placed in a pot of coffee by some one while the family was away from home last Sunday afternoon. After the family had partaken of the coffee at supper, the remainder of the contents of the pot was fed to the hogs. Both hogs are said to have died a short time later, and within a few hours after all four members of the Hardy family had been stricken. The condftinn of Mr. Hardy was pronounced as critical by attending physicians from this city and it was Free! Free!

Officers this afternoon were unable I to throw any light upon the case and Mr. Hardy could assign no reason why anyone should attempt to poison them.
