Time To Halt
The killing of a colored man named Worley by Joe
Wheeler James after breaking into the home where
U'nrUv was sleeping on a bed between two children
one night last week, marks the committal of two of
the most brutal murders in this county in a number
of years. And according to the layman's viewpoint
they are two cases of undisputable first degree mur
der.
The first was the fatal shooting of a colored man,
Sam Simmons, by a colored woman on the streets
here whileJittle children played only a few feet away.
Another xasrthat had thr aspects of first degree rour
der was committed in a house on Ia-ggelt's 1-ane last
Christmas day when a colored woman took a shot
gun and killed a colored man as he slept. Jealousy
was the only assigned motive for the crime.
These three murders in the short period of only
ocJiui; cnuclht in nr_near \Vi!li;imstnn need to he given
careful consideration, with the expressed idea of using
more electricity in the State's central prison in Ral
eigh, It is time to stop mean jteople from doing just
as they please. . . . ~ ?- v..
Sparing the Rod
Much has-been said since the days of Solomon on
the subject of punishment by the rod. So strongly
has the question been pressed that the right of teach
era, delinquent directors and even of parents to cor
rect children is being disputed. The youngster who
becomes a nuisance in the neighborhood, who [testers
others, breaks up and steals and destroys everything
in the community torchers and troments man and
beast wherever he goes, is sent to some school for cor
?rections or some prison -fnr? punishment and then
claims immunity from punishment sifter continuing
his depredations still gets the commendation of many
people.
Solomon in his wisdom came clean and clear in his
views on the question as many men and women of_
both patience and wisdom have done since. Now
what are we to do about this matter? Shall we let
the childre throw knives and forks and punch out each
other's eyes at home because they too good to whip,
and then permit them to go over into the neighbor's
yard and destroy his belongings because they are too
good to be whipped? From there they are allowed
to enter the highways to cut, shoot, bootleg, fob and
steal, and then when they are sent to some state in
stitution they are still too good to be whipped even
after reasoning with the child has failed.
Of course we all wanted worse treatment than that
of the rod -for Dillinger. We wanted him killed, and
?he was killed.?Doubtless sparing the rod in his early
days spoiled him and carried him beyond the power
of the rod.
Certainly many mistakes are made in punishing
children and even grown persons. However, many
more mistakes are evidently made for failure to pun
ish. Proper punishment at the right time and in the
right way is evideiulyone of the most effective ways
eved devised for restraining man from evil deeds
And it should be encouraged, nor by those tn author-*"
ity, but by parents who love and by rulers who want
to make good citizens of the wayward.
Destination
*Tke Baltimore Sun.
Thomas Gray, when he wanted to emphasize what
Dr. Johnson called the "vanity oi human wishes,"
assured us that "the paths of glory lead but to the
grave." If we could have some similar assurance
about the paths of desperate and murderous crime,
society could breathe more easily.
The Reason for Strikes
We ice many big headlines about strikes, and much
propaganda is going the rounds about how dangerous
they are. But when we dig down close, we find that
strikes^ar^*<j^ a*, dangerous as^^aiflnpighHe
trip to a picnic. ^
The American working man doesn't want?hurt
anybody. All be wants is half fair play. He won't
complaint when he is given a chance. Yet, he does
feel a little shaky when be sees the product that his
labor produces making the few gorgeously rich, while
he and his class gradually grow poorer day by day.
Make War Unnecessary
The national thought seems to be centering on the
air as the place for the next war. A thousand air
planes of the battling ty[>e are recommended for the
X'nited States.
In the World War the submarine was the most
dreaded of all enemies. Now the airplane is appar
ently to become the easiest and surest way to destroy
cities and property and kill men, women and children.
The machines w ill perhaps burn their eftenty Willi gas
or shell shock them with high explosive bombs.
We still have one alternative to prevent all this
destruction, and that is to live honorably and neigh-??
borly and make war unnecessary. If we would do j
this we will pay all of our interest and debts in less j
than one quarter of a century. We should proclaim :
peace every day.
Dillinger Is Gone
John Dillinger is gone. What of his life? Whose
hern is he? Is the world better because hie lived, and
did he net any true value for himself by having ever
lived?
Dillinger served the devil. He stole, he killed;
he horrified jieople everywhere. He was the devil's
friend and the agent of the devil. Now the devil is
no friend of his. Instead of befriending him, the
devil is punishing him with more sorrow, more fear,
more torment and more remorse than the |>eople and
thr government ever did
There is a danger that some boys will choose the
"dare-devil deeds as acts ot bravery and a model fur
daring men to follow. It will be well to teach every
youngster in the country that the wages of sin is
deg.th, and that Dillin%er's death came btcausc he
had failed to live the worth-while life- ? ' ?
The Humble, Patient Ox
The ox earl is still to l>e seen. .--When we remember
^' !*i'. C C v t ? ~ ?**?' ? '
that this country was virtually built by the ox as the
principal lieast of burden, we need to consider the ox
mill as a dependable nnirnnl.?A beast that will pull
l(p?s from the swamp all day lortj< and feed himself
from the pasture at ni?ht without cost to his master,
it is to be admitted that he is not only a beast of
burden, but one of economy as well. If a man can't
buy a tractor or a mule, he can still clear the land
and cultivate a crop with the humble, patient ox.
An Unfortunate Mistake
News and Observer.
No guarantee of any absentee voting right should
be written into the Constitution of the State.
At the present time, when the absentee ballot is
properly under scrutiny as a cause of election evils
in the State, it becomes increasingly clear that the
-absentee ballot?has?no?place in the Constitution.
Under rhe present Constitution the absentee ballot
can be eliminated or restricted at any session of the
legislature. Under the new Constitution, at least
in certain cases, the right to vote in absentia would
become a Constitutional right over which the Leg
islature would have*no control.
Writing such a provision into the new Constitu
tion was an unfortunate mistake.
Reason To Be Thankful
Sampson Independent. i_ ? ?
Thy people of North Carolina havereason to be
thankful. While crops in some sections have been
retarded by too much ot too little rainv generally
speaking the outlook is bright for a bountiful har
vest from the mountains to the sea, and more espe
cially of the food and feed crops. We should be
the more thankful when we stop to consider the
plight of the fanners in the Middle West, who not
only lost their crops from the prolonged drought,
but have had to dispose of their cattle because of
the shortage of water and feed.
Presidents and Actors
Sampson Independent.
No sane person would deny that the job of be
ing President of the United States is the most im
portant of them all, or that of l?te years it is the
most difficult, and yet there are 110 persons in the
movi* industry who draw larger salaries than that
paid the President?more than $75,000 a year. The
vast sum of $3IS,000 was (said to one unnamed ac
tor, the second highest $296,250, going to an "ar
tist."

SOME FARMERS!
WILL BE LOSERS
FROM GUESSING
Inaccuracy Causes Less To
bacco Planted Than
Allotment
Three farmers living in Roberson
ville are said to be seriously consid- ,
ering the purchase of a "kicking ma
chine," the make of which matters ,
little just so long as it delivers a swift !
-blow. -They would use the machine J
on themselves because they guessed I
at their tobacco acreage and later |
found that they weie fium about 3
to 5 a:res under their allotments. (
One of the farmers thought he had
1 acres, but accurate measure
ments show-, lie only has 11.6 acrw,
a dit|ffrence of 3. J acres. A secontt
farmer reported his acreage was short
j by about three units, and still an
! other reported his crop five acres be
[~Tow~dhe allotment.
JT 1
good prospects for fair prices this
year they should have been more
careful in estimating their acreages
last spring.
Realizing they will lose by their
I mistake, the three farmers are getting
some satisfaction in knowing that
the government already has in readi
ness a "kicking machine" for those
farmers who exceeded their assigned
allotments ami who will have to de
stik>y excess acreages or make
amends satisfactory to the contracts.
While there arc yet a few people
who do not like to be directed in the
gram for the advantage of the major
ity, the greater number are now be
ginning to realize the value of coop
eration and are rallying to the pro
gram success.

Time How trTPIint
Irish Potato Crops
Ttfc usual -piaMiiur date lot laii
crop Irish potatoes in Eastern North
'Carolina is about July 25 to 25. Re
|in average seasons it may ,be desir
ablc to delay planting until about
j Augus
st 1 to TIT. The best tuber for
j mation generally occurs in Eastern
J North Carolina during the last days
of September and early October. This
means that the fall crop should be
(plants so that the potatoes will come
up about September 1. Soil moisture
is, of course, the p. incipal factor for
'determining the best time to plant.
Varieties recommended for the fall J
crop are Cobbler, Bliss and McCorin
jick (Lookout Mountain), McCormick '
is a heavy yielder and wilt do well :
under adverse conditions but is of ?
poor table quality.
Care should b? used- in the appli
cation of fertiliser in order to avoid J
possible injury to the young sprouts.
Good tillage is essential. If the land]
is prepared some time ahead of plant- i
ing and the drag harrow is used fre-1
qucntly in between, weeds are con- '
trolled, moisture is retained, and a
better stand of plants will be secured j

SECTION'S CROPS
NOW EXCELLENT
With Favorable Weather
Bumper Crops Should
Be Harvested
With a continuance of favorable t
weather conditons during the next
few weeks, this secton is expected to ,
harvest its best crops in several sea-1
sons. While some crops have better,
prospects than others, nearly all of
them are considered better than the
average recorded during the past sev
eral seasons. ,
Tobacco harvesting will reach the
half-way mark by the early part of
next week, the present indications
pointing to a heavier crop than was
predicted a few weeks back. Cur
ings, as a whole, are turning out well,
and prospects are good for average
quality leaf. I
Corn will soon reach full maturity,
and cotton is unusually well develop
ed with plenty of weed for a bale to
age has not yet advanced far enough
to assure a big yield of the staple.
The peanut crop is said to be up to
the ayeiagc,?despite?? reported poor
stands by some farmers.
Farmers have done their work well,
and with an even break in weather
conditions during the remainder of i
the season, this section will more than
feed itself this year.

VIOLATIONS OF

15 Cases of Violation of
Auto Code Reach Head
quarters
The various enforcement agencies
of the several NRA codes are begin
ning to assert themselves in nearly
every branch of business, according to
unofficial information received here
this week, indicating that 15 viola
tions of the automobile code, one of
the strictest of the lot, had been re
ported to headquarters in Greens
boro. Details surrounding the al
leged violations could not be learned
but it is understood that they are
scattered throughout North Carolina.
Under the terms of the code, spe
cified amounts are allowed for second
hand cars, the agreement further ad
vising against excess charges in sales.
The code forbids the disconnecting of
speedometers and other unethical
practices that would effect a hard
ship upon a competitor or deceive a
customer. The agreement calls for
a cash basis for every trade.
