' Monday the Commissioners met to finish up the business of the old year and to launch the 1935-36 pro gram. The group, in an optomis tic mood, moved along with the day's work, taking up routine mat ters in the morning and in the af ternoon meeting With the Board of Education and the County Super intendent of Schools to work out a proposed budget for the new fiscal year. The. budget will be found on the back page of this issue. As it stands it has not been approved but merely proposed to carry on the work of County and school administration. Most conspicious In the proposed budget Is the increase of the tax rate from $1.40, last year's figure, to $1.70. The increase, it will be noted falls In the columns,' Coun ty Debt Service Fund, Current Ex penditure School Fund, Capital Outlay, .School Fund, and School Debt Service Fund.

Fitzgeraldtyrites Us From New York About Billy Sunday Poughkeepsie, N. C. June 30, 1935 Editor, Duplin Times: Every year at Millbrook, near Poughkeepsie the International Union Mission holds a conference. Every year Billy Sunday is one of the speakers. We went out today to hear him. He is changed from the Billy Sunday that we heard in Bluefield, W. Va. fourteen years a- go. Then he could preach twice a day, shake hands with a thousand people each day. The spirit was willing today, but the flesh was weak. A few shook his hand after the sermon, but Mrs. Sunday soon surried him away. Billy Sunday alluded to his condition in these words "0, God, the house in which I live is decaying. The window lights are out, the windows are rattling, the roof leaks ,and some of the shingles are off." It was pathetic to hear him say: "I cannot understand why I cannot get out and preach as I once Could." In conclusion he said: "I have worn myself out trying to make It easier for people to do right and harder for them to do wrong". This was the most elevated thing I ever heard Billy Sunday say. I would go a long' way to hear him say it again. I am sure he has made It easier for many people to do right and harder for them to do . wrong. His views are not my views his. theology ia not my theology, ' but I thank God for all who make it "'easier for us to do right and ' harder for us t odo wrong." Truly yours, l JOHN T.
