Donn. Plans are on foo't for drain
ing approximately 200,000 acres of
land in the Great and Little Coharle
and Seven Mile swamps in Sampson
county, near Dunn. The plan is to or
ganlre a drainage district and vote a
bond issue to finance the drainage of
these fertile swamp lands, which with
out drainage are idle and useless.' .
F. A. Bartel, a drainage engineer,
representing the United States Drain
age Department, of Washington, D. C,
spent a few days here in the interest
of the movement He, together with
former Congressman H. I Godwin,
made a canvass of the proposed drain
age district Mr. Cartel stated before
leaving Dunn that he found sufficient
fall to drairi these lands and that the
project appeared to be ' feasible in
every respect.( r
Former Congressman Godwin, who
represented this, the Sixth Congres
sional District In Congress for
many years has been employed by
the owners of the land to be drained
to perfect the organisation of the
drainage district and he wHI also
represent the drainage commissioners
after the district has been organized.
Mr. Godwin's experience In this line
while a member of Congress fits him
for this work. He was largely respon
sible for the forming of many drainage
districts in eastern North Carolina and
was Instrumental In organising the
Drainage Conference of North Caro
lina.
me government, win at an eanj
date send an engineer to the proposed
drainage district to determine the
amount of bonds that it will be neces
sary to vote to finance the work and
work out other details. The work of
the engineer will not cost the landown
era anything. Many of the owners of
these now idle swamp lands favor the
voting of bonds to drain them. .
' Rocky Mount. Total sales for tha
season on the Rocky Mount indepen
dent tobacco market amounted to 15,
413,910 pounds which brought an aver-
afe of $28.00 per hundred pounds, it
was shown In official figures obtained
from Secretary E. G. Johnston of the
Rocky Mount tobacco board of trade.
Secretary Johnston's announcement
was made following the closing of the
local market During the final week
the offering totaled 285,514 pounds
which sold at an average of $22.00 rer
hundred pounds. The offerings were
unusually common, consisting of barn
cleanings and a great deal of damaged
tobacco which accounted, tobacconists
ay, for the low week's average.
With the securing of final figures
for the aeason, It is Indicated that $4,
aio, 8st.su was paid out this season
through the local tobacco market Both
in general average and in volume sale
this season's surpassed those of last
season. During the 1921-22 season,
official figures show, 14,201,000 pounds
were sold fot a general average of
$25.70. During the season Just closed
15,413,910 pounds were sold on the
warehouse floors, while the average
mcreasea to 128.00.
Farmers of the section are now en
gaged in planting their tobacco beds,
and while it is too early to vouchsafe
any information as to next year's out
look, local tobacconists state that in
dlcations point to arrangements for a
large crop.

The popularity of Jesus after the
triumphal entry-greutly troubled the
rulers of Israel. He met their wicked
chullenge 'as to his authority in such
a skillful way as to place them under
condemnation for their unbelief. This
condition was accentuated by the par
able of the householder.
I. The Question of Paying Tribute
(20:19-26).
1. Spies Sent to Entrap Jesus (v.
20). The rulers Wteiv too cowardly to
do tills themselves, so they employed
underlings to do their mean, work
while they hid away. This dlubollcal
method is employed today id political
and religious llf. Muny times ques
tions are raised under the guise of
sincerity, when the real purpose la to
do mischief.
2. Wicked Flattery (v. 21). They
complimented His truthful teaching.
Ills impartiality and courage. Tliey
certlllcd to His faithfulness even to
that extent lhat He would face Caesar
himself. This compliment was true,
though insincerely given. Back of this
(lattery was the base purpose to de
stroy Jesus. Vany today praise to the
face in order to stab In the back.
3. The Cunning Question (vv. 22-
2C). "Is It lawful for us to give trib
ute to Caesar or not!" At this time
the Jews were galling under the yoke
of the Roman government. To have
answered this question either by "yes?
or "no" would have Involved difficul
ties. To have answered "yes," would
have conveyed the Impression of en
dorsing all that the .Roman govern
ment did. To have answered,, "no," L
would have at once brought him Into
conflict with the government t is
not always an easy matter for a
Christian to determine his right re
lation to civil government. '
Christ's reply to this question prop
erly understood and applied is the
final word on the subject. Until the
civil authorities demand that which
Is a violation of God's law we are
bound to render unto them obedience.
Render unto Caesar the things due
within the realm of the rights of gov
ernment
But while Christ's answer sets forth
their duties to civil authorities. He
used the occasion to Impress upon
thorn the duties due to God. Render
unto God the things that are God's.
Man bears the Image of God. There
fore he should honor and serve Him.
Since be enjoy's God's protection and
care, It is his daty to own allegiance
to Him, yield his life to Him In serv
ice, worship and praise. Everyone who
enjoys the benefits of civil government
Is obliged to pay the taxes which are
necessary for the support of that gov
ernment and everyone who receives
God's favor is placed under a like
obligation unto Him. ' . V
II. Jesus' Estimate of Gifts (21:1-4).
1. Jesus Watching the People Glv-1
Ing (v. 1). He was greatly Interested
in observing the way the people cost
their gifts Into the treasury. Perhaps
there is more vital Index to one's char
acter than the way he behaves before '
the Lord's treasury. Jesus , sits over
against every treasury and knows ,
every dollar cast- into It He knows
how the dollars come and how they
go. no trickery can deceive Him. He
