A JJEMOCBATld JOURNAL., PUBLISHED BY A DEMO CRAT AND DEVOTED TO THE MATERIAL, KD00"0: AL, ECONOMIC, AND AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS OF DUPLIN AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 17th., 1988 , FROM THE SCRIPTURES "Wine Is mocker, strong drink a brawler: And whoso ever erreth thereby to not wUe."-Proverbi 20:1. ; '';Y ' ' o 1 GOLDEN GLEAMS For my part, I bad rather be the first man among these fellows than the second man In Rome-Plutarch. It's amusing to hear business talking about carrying .burden of taxation when everybody with any sense knows that big business Is adept at passing the taxes along. Graft is not exclusively the "politician's privilege; there to such a thing as graft In business and sometimes it Is observed In places not a thousand miles from here. H all the church people lived up to their professions the world would be much better but the same observation applies, with equal force, to the people who stand off and criticise church people. Most people are satisfied with their lot in life; If you are not bestir yourself and Improve yourself In order to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in the future. - o " AN ETHIOPIAN ALLY Every once In a while even before the war actually started; Ita lian hospital ships were seen, bringing stricken soldiers back from Italian colonies near Ethiopia. The climate and mountains are allied with Hlale Selassie. A press correspondent wrote out the story of an Italian soldier who talked on his way home from the front The picture he drew wasn't very encouraging for the followers of Mussolini. "I went through the World War," said the stricken soldier," and I can say that the fourth year In the front line was not so ghastly as conditions In Massawa today, even before the Italo-Ethloplan dispute. Our men are miserably quartered, have bad food and scarcely any water to drink. What water they get comes from Aden and Port Sudan and is warm and unpleasant. The meat to rotten, and we get vegetables only In small quantities. The portions are all very small and mealtime irregular. I even offered 50 lire for a bottle of lemonade and could not get any. Quite apart from the commissar iat, malaria is rampant among the soldiers who are stationed in Mas- . i i.t.ki. thA nir fmil and the barracks are ln- sawa. i ne ue&i u iuwvi . - . tested with bugs. Conditions are considerably better In Asmara, but the majority of the troops are still in Massawa. o k THE FUTURE WAR j In a statement, marking the end of his service as Chief of Staff of the United States Army, General Douglas MacArthur urged the United States to maintain a moderate-sized, highly trained-and com pletely equipped army, pointing out that wars of the future will be wars In which entire nations take part rather than armies as In the past. ' "Beyond all doubt, any major war of the future will see every belligerent nation highly organized for the single purpose of victory, the attainment of which will require Integration and intensification of individual and collective effort. "But it will be a nation at war rather than a nation In arms. Of this vast machine the fighting forces will be only the cutting edge; their mandatory characteristics will be speed In movement, power In fire and shock action, and the utmost In professional skill and leader ship. "Their armaments will necessarily be of most efficient types obtainable and the transportation, supply and maintenance systems supporting them will be required to function perfectly and contin uously. Economic and industrial resources will have to insure, the adequacy of munitions supply and the sustenance of the whole civil po pulation. In these latter fields the great proportion of the employ able population will finds It war duty." " ' o ' WALKS BAREFOOT ON GLOWING COALS Can you walk, barefooted, through fire and come out of the or deal unharmed? . 4 -v THE DUPLIN TIMES readers will not try this but Kuda BUX, a Kashmir magician, managed it last month in Surrey, England in two tests and nobody knows how he accomplished it x, Bux performed his feats before scientific men and through their fire. Englishmen who attempted to follow him quickly Jumped off the coals, with blistered feet Bux, according to the doctors, hadn't the "suspic!6n of a blister." ,,' 'I Harry Price, a professional magician, who has .exposed many frauds, conducted the first test. In a trench a yard wide, twenty-five feet long and a foot deep he put two tons of oak logs," a, ton of pine firewood and some newspapers. He poured ten gallons of kerosene over the wood, applied a torch and let the fire burn the oak logs to embers. Then a load of forest-burned oak-charcoal, was, spread over the top. The resultant fire was a "mass of red and black embers.".:. Bux shortened the trench to twenty feet by raking the embers from one end Into the center. Then he took four stps, ."fairly quickly" trips but dcllned another because the fire was not 'thick enough. ', A young Englishman tried to do the same but, after two steps, leaped from the glowing embers, with scorched' soles that turned to blisters. Bux was unharmed. ' - YmAV;'.? '" a The second test was conducted by the University of London Council for Psychical Research. The fire was In two trenches, twelve ' feet long, six feet wide and eight inches deep. Twice Bux walked the trenches with "no signs of blistering,". Two others took two steps on the glowing embers, Jumped aside and developed blisters, . Nobody knows the explanation because the possibility of fraud seems to have been removed in both tests. ' ' . , ,iv 'fe-l --. hi i ' ' i'V , ; ' rt. .-,rjj.:''.:,?f 'v,;,. .;,Vi,j, . .,.:. A- y i.

Grayson, "people are inclined to underrate the danger of hazards and practises; they think The American Red Cross, trying to emphasize the need for care and caution, points out that home accidents caused 84,500 deaths last year. The deadly automobiles only killed about 1,500 more than that ' Be careful in the hsme.
