Neglect Rather Than Little Respect Probably it is just some more of our modern neglect rather than small respect we hold for our dead that the last resting place of hundreds here is allowed to take the appearance of a rubbage heap or an aban doned shack on a deserted farm \ \ i-it to Williams ton's cemetery (alls to one s mind a certain group of people is a distant land who had the unusual belief that the unkept burial ground was not inviting, that the evil spirits would not enter there under those con ditions. W e call people'with sig h and similar (reliefs heathen, and yet, we have a poorly kept cemetery and there isn t even a I relief to excuse our neglect. It has been said that a |reople may Ire judged by the way it resirects the dead. The facts, and they can t be disputed, give us a poor rating. Should an epidemic strike, there Would lit Ire space for the dead Irodies m W'illiamston s cemetery. Only a few lots in the grounds are unclaimed, but most ol them are not wanted because they are low and be cause they are a part of a cemetery that is all but ig nored No one 1 - to Ire (ensured for the disgraceful condition there, for the everyone of us has been ne glectful: we have Ircen loo bio;, ill out t (tryday af? fairs to think about maintaining a place of beauty, a place that offers [react* and rest to those of us who are destined let run the race with eternity there Appearing, be fore the town's governing Irody a few nights ago. a representative of interested citizens urged that an investigation-be made prubably with the possibility of developing a new cemetery and hav ing its care accepted by the town government. It is time that our town authorities give the prob lem due consideration, and for every citizen here to support any plant that may l>e advanced by them. Nothing will ever be done as long as the living think of a cemetery only when they are in it paying respect to the memory of a departed friend or relative, and then dismissing the crying need from his mind as lie passes out the cemetery gate. Paying the Price Now ?\ Human beings by the hundreds of thousands are now paying the price for |xxir lighting in the past, and the rising generation, despite modern school building programs will Ik* saddled with a similar cost unless the holders of the Slate purse strings become more len ient. Word comes from Raleigh instructing against lib eral use of lights, or, in other words, a bill that covers adequate lighting may Ire rejected because it exceeds the appropriation The policy apparently is to save a few pennies today and leave the child pay dollars to morrow for glasses. Poorly lighted school rooms have and are today in many cases weakening the eyesight of numbers of children in the public schools of this Slate. Surely, there is some cause for the increasing numlrer of peo pie finding it necessary to wear glasses, and there is little doqbt but what that cause is traceable to a cer tain extent to the dark school room Modern education has been so busy training youth how to figure and out-figure the other fellow, that it has ignored factors of equal importance, factors prob ably of even more importance than instructions in stock manipulations and other allied subjects. The parents through their associations will have done a good day's work when they investigate light ing conditions in the school rooms where their chil dren are spending so many of their waking hours, and demand that inadequate lighting effects lie remedied. Attention given this problem now may mean that it will not be necessary for scores of boys and girls now in school to go through life with their eyes imprison ed behind glasses. Home Town Newspaper "* * There is nothing in print that has fireside appeal, influence or pulling power as the home-town new-pajier. .V we know it in America it is a product of our own soil and peculiar genius. It is one of the tew independent businesses left in the country. In the aggregate it is . . . the greatest |>ower in America. While the Metro|X>litan newspapers have evolved into great industries and while the Metropolitan press is -till the great reflector of public thought and opin ion, the cross-roads press of America is still the mo tor of it.. The first line of American defense is our army of 1-1,000 home-town newspapers and if the nation en dures, it will la- la-cause they were not only kept, but la-cause aroused in America's hour of |>eril and car ried the word of warning to the people that the enemy wo- within the gates. There is nothing that a militant press cannot accomplish with its conscience and the courage of its convictions. x I have long la-en of the opinion that the dem on.u> of this country must constantly fat renewed from tla -oil, and whatever else I might say with ref erence to the country publisher, I can testify that a goodly part of the character of this republic is still preserved in his inde|>endent spirit."?Clayton E. kand, President XKA, at AFA Convention in New York. Lawyers Go From the Sublime to the Ridiculous Kucky Mnunl llrrald At the annual meeting of the N. C. Bar Associa tion. held last Friday in Raleigh the president, Jul ius C .smith, of (irecnsboro, general Counsel tor Vicks Chemical Co,, called upon and ordered the assembl age to stand in honor of Senator J. W. Bailey, whom he said made "suih a masterful fight against I'tesi dent Roosevelt's court plan." According to press re ports it was stated that several other lawyers spoke agatnst theqweshlent's-court reorganization plan but in the same breath recommended big changes in N. C. courts. After several members had congratulated the bar and stated how fortunate the country was that the Supreme Court would still remain at nine in number they then proceeded from the ridiculous to the sublime or from the sublime to the ridiculous, by taking as the bar major qbjective this year the "dis cipline and reform of the poor man's court and pro ceeded with a -wvere castigation of all Justices of Peace. But for the Justice of Peace court being a consti tutional court they in all probability would have done away with the time honored squires. Just think of jumping from the sanctified Supreme Court to the Justice of Peace court. It would appear that the speakers must have sail ed off in oratory and fallen flat of their backs in the wood pile. Our own opinion is "with the President of the U. S that more reform is needed with the Federal Ju diciary rather than fool with a few Justices of Peace. rhe commitment of the bar to reform the Justice of Peace is like the mountains going in labor and giv ing birth to a mouse. These lawyers could have found a more constructive objective. \\ ith all the great questions of today that concern N C. and its |x-ople, leaving all of these but the J. P. Courts!

THE EIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN ? Every Child born into this j world of ours has the right to he Well-Led. One of the most im portant decisions a boy or girl has to make is "What Am I Go ing to Do with My Life?" An answer must be given sooner or later and the decision is usual ly made sooner. Our children should be well-led in making their choice here. There are some three or 4 thousand gain ful occupations from which they can choose but the average boy or girl knows only of some 25 or 31 of these professions, if they know that many. We should hold before our children some very definite principles touch ing their life work. Mention is made of but two here. First, Do not choose a profession that re quires Sunday work. Second, Do not choose a profession that is known to be useless, of little or no value to society, or is known to be an evil in society. There aie so many forms of live lihood that it is not at all necessary for a person to break an explicit and direct law of God such as breaking the Sabbath. There are too many kinds of work to be chosen from for a boy or girl to choose one that re quires seven days a week at work. I-aiticular reference is made here to such things as speeding one's life in the manufacture of chewing gum ?playing baseball for a living?and so forth. There are loo many other professions more worth while and use fu! which we can choose to spend ou. lives in. Another reference is made to the manufacture and sale of beer, wines and strong drink These things are ds finitely known to be evils with out one decent soul to speak one good word in their behalf, and yet some 3,000.000 of our boys and girls are engaged in the passing of these things across the counter to many customers. Is that the kind of thing we want our boys and girls to spend i their lives in doing? Isn't there something far more decent and hon^ orable that we can give them to do? We can say what we will, l/it in the noi lui distant future these, ihings will be outlawed again and the chil dren of those who now deal in these things will be ashamed to admit that METHODIST Church school, 9:45 a. m.

Your report will look quite different if every member who j received a missionary envelope will return it with a liberal offering in it. Let's turn ourselves in to a real Gideon's Band for these next two weeks and conquer. their parents earned a livelihood j from the sale of such a vicious pro duct. We should not permit our chil dren to drift into such professions, but we should guide them now in the proper choice before it is too late. Our <hi I: n have the right to be well-led n their worship. As par ents we should set the example in spiritual things. As parents we should set the example of church attendance, of loyalty and love for Christ and His kingdom, of love for the Sabbain day. of service to the church, and of Christian stewardship and giving. By doing this we can make amends for our failure else where, and in so doing it may be . that the Lord, our God, shall become their God and we shall be'His peo pie. To lead others in the right direc tion and not become blind leaders of the blind, we ourselves, must be j well-led. General Stonewall Jack-1 son is a good example of this Hei was a great leader, his men follow- j ed him, loved him, fought for him. and would have gladly died for him because they believed in him. If in the Providence of God. he had to fight on Sunday he always gave his men a full day of rest and worship on one of the other days of the week, lie led them- right, because he was ECONOMY AUTO STORE Williamston Easy Terms on Goodrich Tires and Batteries in turn led by the create*! at all leader*, Jesus Christ It isn't too late to make amends, it isn't too late to confess our short comings and to beg for forgiveness. If we are to be leaders, every red blooded American wants to lead those who follow him in the right path and onto the field of victory. If we in turn need leading, and who rtoosrt, it is but human to want the b st op~ available and to be found 011 the winning side. That leader and that ride is none other than Jesus Cm 1st and Ilis Cause. Be a real man, be a real woman, >e a .eal father and mother. Go to -hunch Sunday and t?ke the chil dren with you. DK. V. n.
