t THURSDAY, SEPT. 30, 1943 THE NEWS - JOURNAL, RAEFORD, N. C. PACE NINE POOLE'S MEDLEY Bf D. SCOTT POOLE While prices of farm produce re mained up in the late 80's the South made great gains, and were recover ing their lost ground in a financial way, but in 1873 the prices on midd ling cotton dropped to 8 1-2 cents per pound and for 30 years averaged that price, and the country was broke, a nation of beggars. Capt. Wm. Black of Maxton was going to a big meeting some distance away, and a few nights before he left, he was with several of us together and he was almost begging us for some of us to accompany him on the trip, but none of us could go. Capt. Black really was in earnest persuading McKay McKinnon to go with him, and Mack said: "Well, Cap tain Black I would be the gladest in the world, and I would go, if I had either the money or the clothes." Ev erybody was like that. I believe Southerners are the best and bravest people. Both men and women are alike brave. Women shrink from danger, but let her child become endangered, and you will see no sign of fear. The greatest airmen on earth are Southerners, so they say. John K. McNeill, Jr., a machinist, was at home for a few days last week. He has been in every state in the Union, and his brother Ed is in New Guinea. It is interesting to talk with John K., and others who are in the service. birds are not so numerous as they were in my boyhood days. One win ter, I made and set a line of traps, made of split sticks of boardhearts, and I went to mill before I went to look at my traps. When I returned about 10 A. M., I went around and brought in 14 quail, partridges, I called them. I saw but two falls, when there were pigeons, wild ones. One of those falls there were only a few, but the other fall there were enough to look alarmingly at times. I killed but few. Last week I mentioned the fact that 2k IF YOU WANT A GOOD USED CAR And one of these don't please You as to condi tion and price then, you're hard to please.

Some of our neighbors killed numbers of both wild pigeons and blackbirds. They are both fine meat, but the blackbirds are better. There is no such word as "wont", or "won't." An apostrophe is used to indicate omitted letters, and in that sense, "won't is an abbreviation of would not, past tense, but it is always meant for "will not", future time indicated.

This global war has been going on four years, and it will go on indeflnite tely, if peace is enforced by standing armies. But there is no controlling mad dogs and rattlesnakes but to kill them, and nearly half the folks on earth have acted as such. The time may come, "when each can feel a brother's sigh. And with him bear a part; When sorrow flows from eye to eye, And joy from heart to heart," But that seems distant at this time. There are now not fewer than 30 million men under arms, the seas working alive with warships, and the skies darkened with airplanes. We can estimate the total cost of the war in c'ollars, but we cannot comprehend the meaning of the sum, nor can any human place any just es timate upon the heart-anguish suffer ed by loved ones. "Oh, eternity is too sh-rt," to make any conceivable esti msite of that. Wrecker Service RAEFORD Phone 2301 Man Who Claims To Be 132, Passes Away j Chicago, Sept. 27.
