PACKARD Assistant Editor •abaeription Rates: One Tear, $1.00; 6 Months, 60s Bau-reri as second-class matter January 19, 1934, at the post office at Rocky Msunt, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879 A4v«rti»ing rates reasonable, and furnished to pro* pectire advertisers on request cation Office: Second Floor Daniels Building, Boeky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina BELIEVE IT OR NOT News and Observer The Enquirer, of Yorkville, S. C., is re sponsible for the following story. It was given to the Enquirer by one of its York county subscribers and is as follows: "A farmer in eastern Chester county owns his farm and has four mules that he works every day. This man owns a big field, in a section of which some years ago a man was killed. When this farmer is plowing his mules in this big field, sometimes they will plow right along over the spot where this mlan was killed, and at other times they will work right up to the spot, and there] they will balk. They will turn away, and absolutely refuse to go on past the place where the dead man was found, and then they will pull the plow, the plowman and everything away from that spot, go some distance away, sit down on the rumps, just like a dog, and set up a lot of braying the same as a jackass does sometimes. No one can explain why they act that way. They just do it. "Some time back," the gentleman went on, "this farmer bought a new mule and when he uses this mule to work in this par ticular field when it comes to the place where the dead man was found, it too, acts just like the other four mules. "That story sounded mighty strange to me, but my son says that it is true, and it can be proved by anybody who will take the trouble to go to this farmer's place and see for himself. Believe it or not. That's up to you." HAYSTACK TRICK "Stop that trash truck!" a local jeweler frantically telephoned to tie city health department office ibis morning. A diamond ring, he explained in •toute, had accidently got into his tTMh can and the trash truck had oome by before he knew it.

TAXUS AINU STATU; DfcFUINDfcINTS Shelby Star. "At least seventy-five per cent of the people of North Carolina would not pay a dollar to the State government, were it not for the sales tax," Governor Hoey is quot ed as saying in a recent speech before the North Carolina Federation of Women's Clubs. That is a statement to take home and think about. Of course, Governor Hoey meant that this number would not pay di rectly to the support of the State govern ment except for the sales tax. The time has come in business when the tax bill must be reckoned with. It is a part of operating of business, like rent, clerk hire and merchandise cost, and must be passed along to the consumer in the form of hidden taxes. It is alarming to see the number of peo ple in North Carolina who are dependent on the State government. In the penal and charitable institutions there are 18,191 per sons. The five insane hospitals reported 6,- 800 inmates last month, while the total num ber of State prisoners amounts to 8,973. Add to those figures several thousand em ployes in the State Highway Department, several more thousand State employers, 24,- 000 public school teachers who derive their support from the State government. Then there are 900,000 public school students who must be educated. When the Social Security measure is put into effect, thous ands of other aged will be drawing their sup port from the State government. North Carolina has assumed a tremendous responsibility in taking under its wing the support and training of such a number. And this number is growing year after year as new jobs are created. Only those peo ple who directly support the government and provide the means for it to carry on, are conscious of the burden. Those who are not conscious of its burden by bearing a share in proportion to their ability to pay care little or nothing about how affairs are run or how much is spent. Spring is the most beautiful time of the year. Lilacs, tulips, and the glory of spi rea Van Houttei, in riots of snowy bloom. North Carolina in the spring is worth endur ing much to see. Tracing the truck which usually served the neighborhood of the jew eler's store, Francis Patterson of the health department finally located the truck—but it was returning from the city trash dump.

The Woodmen of the World is today the strongest fraternal life insurance association in the world, with assets of $124,493,972, as of January 1, 1937. During 1936 alone, the Wood men of the World enrolled more than 90,000 new members, with i'-'-'urance protection totaling in :ss of $108,000,000. ,'oodmen membership now to tals nearly 400,000 men, or ganized in about 8.000 local camps, in 44 states. Two $1,500,000 Re.' n is In the spring of 1930, and again in February, 1937, the associa tion returned about $1,500,000 ot assessments to its members. These were the largest single re funds ever made by a fraternal society, and affected nearly 300,- 000 members each year. Eligible, for refunds were all members who had held a beneficiary cer tificate (in good standing at the end of 1936) for two years or more. ") President Bracjshaw, who is honored and respected in every state in which the association op erates, is particularly interested in improving and enlarging the services of the Woodmen of the World Memorial hospital at San Antonio, Tex.
