THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALD, ROCKY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA
Scimitar and Song
Edited By
Lura Thomas McNair
I sometimes wonder as I look away
to the stars at night whether it will
ever be my privilege as a disembod
ied spirit to visit and explore.
Sir John Lubbock
Nothing was born,
Nothing will die.
All things will change.—Tennyson
Personality is always and forever
invisible . . . Man, because he is
like God, is as unseen by mortal
eyes as God Himself. Wm. Hanna
Thompson.
I have been reading so many
great pilgrimages into the realms of
immortality that I would make the
column up of those quotations ex
cept for the fact that I have been
favored with such enticing Easter i
poems.
From Elizabeth Newman's charm-1
ing and delightful book GARDEN I
RHYTHMS. This poem is rejirinted.
Gethsemane'g Hosannag
How the birds must have sung in
the garden
Round the Arimathaean's tomb.
They had no need of an angel
To reveal the vacant room.
The birds, I think had kept vigil
From darkness until dawn,
They sensed a stir .in the branches
Of olive and fig and thorn.
Each stock and stone in the garden
Was of his presence aware,
Though men had deserted the Master,
He lacked not worshipers there,
. . . And from the same book—
Madonna Lilies
I saw them first at early dawn,
A stately group in spotless white,
In bold relief against the lawn
Still dark with June's lush night.
Chaste Priestesses of Purity,
Jn morning's unpolluted hours
They lifted chalices of gold
In worship of the Lord of Flowers.
The art work of this book was
done by student's of Belhaven Col
lege in which institution Miss "New
man is a well beloved teacher . . .
and speaks well for the college.
These three from the deep well
of reverence possessed by Minnie
Curtis Waite—
To Mary Of Bethany
To her, assurance was most doubly
sure
That He she loved, had triumphed
over death,
Could bars against such strength as
this endure
Whose spoken word had given the
lifeless, breathf
She who had seen the dead arise be
fore,
For sight of pierced hands could
feel no need
He gave her brother to her arms
once more
For her, the Christ, the Lord, had
risen indeed.
Resurrection
"And stooping and looking in, he
seeth the linen clothes lying. .
Robes of selfrighteousness of envy
and of pride,
And sin's that weigh us down and
vex us sore,
O help us Lord, to, cast them all
aside,
That w e may rise to nobler heights
once morel
O from the grave of self may we
arise,
Leaving our cast-off garments ly
ing there,
That we may mount unhindered to
the skies,
Clad in new vesture, radiant and
fair!
flteter
The dreary, winter-time is o'er
Our hearts closed .shutters open
wide—
New life, new hope, new joy onso
more
Come sweetly in at Easter tide!
"Tig heaven itself that points out
an hereafter
And intimates eternity to man."
The following lovely Easter poem,
breathing the true message of the
Easter season was written by Mrs.
R. B. Whitley, of Wendell.
Easter's Message
The Easter season brings to us
The story old, yet new,
The message of the Christ who died,
And bade us to be true.
He said, "I live that you may live.

Safe to the Heavenly home."
lie said, "Peace be unto you.
Be not afraid; I send
As my Father hath sent me
Go ye unto the end."
Were it not for a faith like this,
This life would worthless be.
It gives a radiance to each task,
And sets the spirit free.
With faith that dares to travel on
The spirit soars ahead.
Faith gives the victory over death—
The way the Master led.

Capacity Of Plant
In Zebulon Doubled
Recent additions doubling the floor
space, and also doubling the capac
ity of the plant have made the
Home Fertilizer and Chemical Co. of
Zebulon possessor of one of the most
modern and efficient fertilizer fac
tories in the state.
This plant was moved from Bal
timore about two years ago, where
it had been in successful operation
more than thirty years. W. I'. Cren
shaw, of Baltimore, who has own
ed and operated the Homo com
pany for nearly all of its thirty
years of existence, came to Zebulon
as largest stock holder and nnnager
of the plant. He is president of the
corporation.
Mr. Crenshaw, who now lives in
Raleigh, has the reputation of being
one of the best-posted and experienc
ed practical fertilizer manufacturers
in America. He now has a plant
|nt Zebulun capable of turning out
two hundred tons aday, and easily
capable of turning out fifteen thous
and tons in a season.
Improvements in the plant have
been almost continuous since its re- j
moval to Zebulon, and even now a 1
nitrate of soda house is being added .
to the buildings. All the buildings
are of fire-proof metal construction,
anchored with foundation bolts to
concrete foundation falls, and roof
ed with metal. With a long siding
just back of the buildings for rail
shipment, and a platform across
the front for truck shipments, the I
plant is well suited as far as trans- i
portation is concerned.
o
TELLS SITDOWNERS TO EXIT
Sitdown strikers in the Chrysler
plant in Detroit were ordered to
leave the plant by Federal Judge
Campbell. He fixed a penalty of
$10,000,000 for failure to comply
with the order to be levied 011 their
I chattels and lands.
