STATE CANNOT BORROW The State of North Carolina having reached the point where it cannot borrow money in New York in anticipation of tax collections, and with a de ficit of $12,500,000, and also with $6,000,000 in bonds due on July 1st when the state must raise $7,500,000 for re tarding bonds and interest, the Administration at Haliegh have ] before them something more than a jig-saw puzzle to work out. It has been customary in the past when the State need ed a few hundred thousand dollars for the State Treasurer and the Governor to go to New York and make their wishes known and they were soon fix ed up for another quarter; but not so any more. This practice has been followed until the State’s credit has become ex hausted. Now the news comes from Raleigh that State employes are slated for a 25 percent slash, unless the State’s credit can soon be restored it will not be many moons until sorne of the highly paid state officials will have to get down off their horses and live like the masses are having to live now. Political Cards Government Seed Loan Borrowers FOR MAYOR E. L. Piper, 72, of 2400 Spring- Garden .street, -who for 55 years had been a highly trusted employe of the Southern railway, having spent 48 years of that time as an engineer, was fatally injured about 5:30 o’clock Thursday evening when the automibile which he was driving left -state highway No. 10 about thi-ee miles east of Hillsboro, went into a ditch alongside the road, then .struck a tfelegraph pole and over turned, pinning him underneath it. Death is believed to have been al- mo.st instantaneous. It is believed that Mr. Piper, who had suffered often from what was termed acute indigestion, probably sustained an abrupt attack, causing him to lose control of the auto mobile. He was alone at the time, proceeding east with Durham as his destination. He was on his way to the bed-ide of a son of Mrs. Kheba Hobgood, his sister-in-law, in a hospital in Durham. For a number of years Mr. Piper has been running bet-ween Greens boro and Goldsboro on Nos. 21 and 22, as engineer, these being passeng er train.' of the Southern, operated on the old North Carolina railroad, which is under lease to the Southern.

GOLD FLOWING INTO FRANCE NORTH CAROLINA’S I.AWMAKERS Since some of the leadinp; nalions of the world have {rone- off the pfold standard, includ ing; the United States, France, whicli is holdin" on to the pfold standard, is being- flooded with this precious metal. It is pour ing in by train, l).v ships and by airplanes. Seven airplanes are said to have landed in France last Sunday, each carry ing more tlian a ton and a half of gold which aggregated $12,- 000,000. At present, France is reported to bold 29 percent of all the gold in the World, and at the present rate gold is be ing dumped into hei' coffei's it will not be long until that country will have practically all the gold in the world un less the other nations go back to the gold standard. At this time the United States is said to hold 38 percent of the world’s gold supply, or a total of $1,250,000,000, but should this country remain off the gold standard it cannot hope to hold the lead which it now has. The total gold supply in all the world is a little over eleven billion dollai's. Most of the world’s gold re serve i.s cast into bars, each bar being worth about $12,000. These bars placed in boxes and kegs and stored in deep under ground storerooms where it remains in dark seclusion until it is .sent on another voyage to a similar vault in another land. ^ ’,~i — SPIRITUAL CONDITION OF PEOPLE IS IMPOVERISHED St' • Dr. J. Powell Tucker, pa-tor of the First Rapti.st church, speaking- Sunclay morning on “Broken Cist erns,” said the spiritual condition of most people of the present day is impoverished. “If 1 were called upon to point to the most conspiciou.s character istic of the general aspects of hu man life today,” he said, “1 would without hesitation, after months of careful observation and study, point to three astounding conditions; To the wide.spread di.sintegration of loyalty to high principal.', to the alarmin.g- disregard of the .sovereign ty of righteousness, and to the heart breaking deflation of the sacredness of common honesty.” “if these factors shall continue to inci-ease their deadly force in so ciety, as they have increased it in recent months, there is nothing with in the power of human prediction more certain than that the whole fabric of our social order w-ill ere longe be torn to .-hreds.”—Raleigli Time.', 24th. The General Assembly of the State of North Carolina has been behaving of late much after the fashion of a kindergarten when the teacher leaves for a moment. There has been no more harmony and tran- (juility in that august body—especi ally since it has been deliberating on a means of raising the necessary reveune for supporting- the state than is evidenced at a pony pen ning over on Core Ranks. Ever since the legislators went to Raleigh for the present session, they have been running around in circles, with dissention paramount. They seem more like a large bunch of back-lot boys w-ho have been divided into two sides. One of these sides de-ires to play one thing, while the other side is determined that it will play something else. .And the legis lators have about come to the point reached by many of the back-lot youthful gangs when the leaders yell in unison: “Well, if we can’t play like we want to, w-e wont play a-tail.” It is disgusting to the people of the Old North State the way its lawmakers disagree and “chew the rag” hi the legislative haHs. There is so much hot air and plain tommy rot emanating- from Capitol Hill that it is very difficult to deter mine just what the ulitmate out come will be fropi the 1933 session. We were under the impression that the primary objective was to re duee the taxes in Tar Heelia by a reduction of the expenditures of the government, with the possibility of some form of sales tax for the re lief of the property owner.s and thus re-tore land to its rightful place as the basis of all value. Upw-ards of tw-o thousand bills have been introduced this session, many of which have passed and been ratified. Virtually all of these eitlier deal with local situations or are of Infinltestimal state-wide import.. .Tudging by the actions of the legis lators—all of theme Included—the General Assembly has very few real busine.ss men in that so-calle- august body. Whenever politic.' are cast aside and the needs of the people of North Carolina are taken at heart by the members of the legi-lature, then there is a possibility that the lawmakers may accomplish some thing worthwhile toward reducing the expenditures of the government to a point where the taxpayers -will be able to meet their oliligations to the State and County. Until then we will continue to look with disfavor upon the puerile actions of North Carolina’s kindergarten.—Beaufort News. formed as follows; Kinston, Rose boro, Dunn, Er-win, Goldsboro and Johnston county.

I By Rev. D. H. TUTTLE 1 Patience means blessed ciuietne-s while waiting for God to make good ! a promise. Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for him. Psalm 37:7. God is good to them that wait for him; the soul that seeketh after hin\. Jermiah. Brother, can you be patient -while you are looking for a misplaced hammer; can you keep from saying, -‘I’d like to know who has moved it? Impatient men cuss about very small trouble-. Sister, can you hold your tong-jie while hunting for a lost thimble. A. thimble ful! of .real patience could „ . J Keep you from accusing someopa for taking- it. Many a child has-g^- ten a slap while an impatient daily or mammy was rushing round, try ing to find the misplaced object. Have you forgotten how Jesus said. “In patience posse s ye "your- souls.” Heed his words: You mu.st meet- Him. “Let patience have her perfect work that ye may be perfect and never wanting nothing. Be patient therefore, brethern, unto the coming of the Lord. Be hold, the husbandman waitheth for- the precious fruit of the. earth, and hath long patience for it, until he heceive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Jas. 5:7,8. Be ye also ready. When Je=us comes wdll you be among the wise or foolish virgins? WHICH?: Go to no place where you would not desire to be found when Jesus comes. Do nothing, say nothing, yo» would not like to be doing, or say ing when Jesus comes.
