POOLE'S MEDLEY
By D. SCOTT POOI.E
the speaker travels to his abode for
the night, has brought death to many
men.
A short while after he became
Prime Minister, Winston Churchill
visited some friends in the west side
of London, He was scheduled to make
an address that evening.
It was already dark when he left,
and he feared that he would be late
for the broadcast. Rushing over to a
cab, he told the driver to take him to
the broadcasting station.
"Sorry, but I can't take you that
far," said the cabby, not recognizing
his distinguished fare.
'Why not?" asked the Prime Min
ister. "Mr. Churchill is broadcasting in a
little while. I'm going home to tune
in. I wouldn't miss his speech for
the world."
Mr. Churchill was so flattered by
this that he handed the man a pound
note. At the sight of this, the driver's
eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Hop right in!" he exclaimed, start
ing the motor, "Churchill ain't that
important!"

Unusual Roll Call
Camp Claiborne. La. A roll call at
the 361st Engineer Regiment here
would sound like this:
HITLER? Here. GOEHRING?

The responses would come from
Corp. Turner G. Hitler ol Pocatello,
Idaho; Corp. T. S. Goehring of Pitts
burgh, Pa., and Pfc. Hiram D. Duce,
Jr., of Detroit.
Name-conscious members of the

County News is now, according to the
paper's must head, nearly 76 years old,
and had The Carthage Blade lived till
now, it wuuld have been in its middle
sixties.
A new buggy was a source of pride
to a family as a new automobile is
now. Tyson & Jones, of Carthage,
McKeithan Bros. Fayetteville, and a
crowd of eight or ten workmen of
the Tyson & Jones, Cartilage Mfg. Co.,
ceceded and organized ' The Carthage
Buggy Mfg. Co.'' or something like
that about 1875. They all quit mak
ing buggies about the same time. The
automobiles put them out of business.
Tyson and Jor.es made carriages
that cost nearly as much as automo
biles. I have seen strings of new bug
gies and carriages enroute to markets
in the South. This firm had rich cus
tomers in New Oreans.
There are not many people who are
fair and impartial. They show more
or less favoritism. It appears from
the Bible, that our Creator accorded
to man after He had created him in
His own image. It is totally unprin
cipled for man to be mean.
Hitler heads the Nazis, but is no
longer dictator, or Premier of Germa
ny. This is a way of dodging responsi
bility. However, justice will be met
ed out sooner or later to wrong-doers.
I have never taken but one vaca
tion, and that was after having taught
a ten-months school year. I visited
relatives and absolutely rested for

Raleigh, N. C, August 11. Har
vesting of the 1943 Tar Heel sweet po
tato crop has started and prices are
more than double last seasons' initial
sales, reports A. B. Harlee, of state

golden variety sweets wholesaled at
$5 in New York in contrast to $2 and
