STANCIL) The ascent on life’s busy industrial road to success. Is like a climb to the treachei’ous mountain’s crest. You make it gradually, just one tuin at a time. And it is hard to tell just how fast you do climb. The future is dark because you can never see the end. And so it is as up the mountain side you ascend. As you sw'oop around one steep, rocky shoulder. You are face to face with another overhanging boulder. Sometimes we almost falter as along life’s road we go. But we gain new courage when we see pthers far below. The task seems unyielding as still we try to trust. But we gain a broader vision of all there is about us. We struggle onward and upward for a mile or two. Then we glance backward o’er a vast field of blue. We can not even vision the vast progress we have made. But every step forward means one more step upgrade. REPUBLICAN TICKET FOR JOHNSTON COUNTY H. Sheriff—A. J. Fitzgerald. Clerk of Superior Court—W. Massey. Judge of Recorder’s Court—Ezra Parker.

That far away mountain with its barren rocky look. Now shows us a gushing spring to the sparkling brook. We look to the heights above and to the;, depths below. And there we stand in amazement at this bewildering show. The trees, the flowers and other enchanting views. Gives us a heart full of courage and dispells the blues. But w'hen we’ve reached the top in the Land of the Sky, We find that there are many more mountains just as high. We look to the adjoining peaks and towering crests. That surround us on the north, south, east and w,est. Thus it is ini the world of busy human endeavor. There are other men whose lives excell ours ever. When we make great sacrifices and new heights attain. Other men’s lives make ours look like the lowly plain. VACATION HINT The neighbor’s radio, like the neighbor’s children, always seems a heap worse than your own. A turtle in New York state has lived to be 600 years old. But who would want to be a turtle for 600 years. The ideal husband is the Sel ma man who treats his wife like a new auto even after they’ve been married ten year W’e don’t want to set ourselves up as an authority on touring, and neither do we want to be accused of trying to tell Selma people where they should spent their vacationsi But we feel sure everyone is open to suggestions, so we are going to offer one. Why not see your own state first? The desire to visit strange terri tory is natural; we all have a streak of that old primitive wild-life in us, handed down from our forefathers who spent their days wandering in the forest and seeking new scenes and new comforts, as we do now. Just because the places of beauty and historic interest in our own state have not been as well adver- MONEY IN BANKS Years ago the Government did not trust its money in banks. Post masters used to remit by sending money in registered letters. The activities of the Federal Government began to grow at the beginning of the last century through an expand ing commerce and spread of popula tion westward, and the Federal Gov ernment felt the necessity of hav ing subagencies where vouchers drawn upon the United States Trieas- uiy could be paid. In the first in stance the Treasury was a Govern ment bank and made all transactions direct.

AUTOS AND CHURCHES Things are not going to be as we would like to see them around Sel ma until a lot of us wake up to the fact that while the auto is a wonderful vehicle it is, ini a way a liability instead of an asset in still another way. The most serious complaint we have to register against it is that it detracts from church attendance and threatens the greatest of all institutions. We haven’t the figures at hand to show how rural and small-town churches are suffering, more and more each year, through decreased attendance. But such figures are easy to ob tain.

In running for the Senate the first essential is to lay aside a million or so for educational work in the primary. Home is often a place where a Selma man goes after his day’s work t-o take up his lis tening where he left off in the morning. What kind of a country is this getting to be, where Hal lowe’en lasts two weeks and the Fourth of July is like a Sunday on the farm? We now have baby autos, baby golf courses and baby kitcens — in fact, everything now in the baby line seerps to foe popular but the babies them selves. Personally we’d rather get our picture in the papers by writing a testimonial for a pa tent medicine than for dropping 15,000 feet in a parachute. The only time a Selma boy is as helpless as he is when he is in the path of a tornado is states does not mean they are any the less attractive. There are plen ty of places to drive to in our own state where delightful vacations can be spent, and where there are things of interest to see. Fact is, few people around here really know what a wo-nderful state we live in, and of its many advantages, because they have never traveled all over it. Get a state map, a road map, and a state history if you can do so handily. Study up your ow-n state a little and then map out a vacation trip that will take you to the most interesting parts of it. You’ll come back with a better opinion of it and better satisfied with the part your labor and your taxes play in maintaining it. You’ll also save a lot of money that would otherwise be spent so far away from home that none of it would ever get back. eminent funds at banks at all poin-ts where the receipts or disbursements of the Government were sufficiently large to justify such action. Accord ingly, deposits of Government funds are maintained with Federal Reserve banks and their branches, special de positaries in the insular possessions of the United States. There are nearly 900 depositaries and they hold approximately a quarter of a billion dollars. NOTICE TO DOG OWNERS THE COTTAGE ORGAN When Uncle Sam’s new census tabulations are complete, and they will be in a few weeks, the figures will sow the number of radio sets owned on American homes. But we don’t suppose we’ll be enlightened on something about as interesting—the number of cottage organs still in use. To the young generation around Selma the old parlor organ, once common in American homes, is a di- tinct novelty. In fact, hundreds of boys- and girls around here have never seen one. But to older resi dents they remain a fond memory of “the good old days,” when we BE IT ORDAINED: 1. That on and after Aug. 1st, 1930, it shall be unlawful for any, person or persons, to permit his or their dogs to run at large on the streets of Selma, N. G., without first being properly muzzled. That the father, .if living, and if dead, the mother shall constitute the head of the family and shall be held re sponsible for fine hereinafter set out and for all damage done by said dog or dogs. 2. That any person permitting his or their dog or dogs to run at large without wearing much as did the generation that pre ceded it. And the next generation is apt, from all indications, to need it more. Because the auto permits one to attend church at a great dis tance from home does not mean that people are using it for that pur pose. Church attendance has dwin dled, especially during July and Aug ust, in every section of the country, and is not in proportion to what it once was during the other ten months in the year. Anything that discourages church attendance is harmful. But the auto would take people to church as easi ly and comfortably as it takes them elsewhere if they would only head it in that direction. We read in the good book that Elijah was carried to heaven in a chariot of fire. Can it be that a lot of present-day citi zens are going to be carried to the other place in a more modern ve hicle—the automobile?
