SLAVERY AM) FREEDOM |
(News and Observer)
One of the lust of the old negroes
who were born to slavery died in Louisburg
last week. His death was merely
reminder of an institution which
ended \n America and in North Carolina
70 years ago. But if human slavery.
as the Old South Imew it, disappeared
three score and ten years
ago, human freedom has not necessarily
nourished from its disappearance.
When in cities men cannot find
T>T'Tn, (Tit}" -nrv Tiicrcly free to stsrvC/j
And when in North Carolina among
both white and black farmers, one
farm out of every two in the State is
landless on the land, we are still a
long way from freedom in the full
meaning of the word. Blaclc slavery is
seventy years gone, but neither white
men nor black men are truly free in
a world in which they cannot secure
jobs or land.

Four Great Treasures ....
By BRUCE BARTON
RUTH
Now it came to pass in the days
when the judges ruled.
Reading those first words of the
book of Ruth you are tempted to skip
to some other part of the Bible that
gives promise of more pleasant reading.
For "the days when the judges
ruled" were terrible days, days of anarchy
and bloodshed, or sag and reaction
after a cruel war, of disorganization
and uncensored living.
The story has only four chapters;
vnn fan rp'j.l if in fiftonn mlniitnp Tf
J""* - ?? 1V"" "" *** lIUUULtO. J. J
starts with a good citizen named Ei
imeleeh, a resourceful man and a|
loving husband and father. Because a
famine had visited his own country,
he migrated with his wife, Naomi,
who, like Eve, was a pioneer wife, and
his two boys. Mahlon and Chilion,
The new land offered food enough,
but its climate was somehow unkind
to the visitors, for the father died and
afterward the sons also, leaving Naomi
and two beautiful young daughters-in-law,
Orpha and Ruth. Naomi's
onl2' hope was to return to her owni
country, but she urges the girls to
stay behind among: their friends and
relatives who would look after them
and doubtless provide other husbands.
Orpha consented. Ruth replied in
those magnificent words:
Entreat me not to leave thee, or
to return from following after thee;
for whither thou goest, I will go;
and where you lodgest, I will lod^e:
they people shall be my people, and
thy God my God;
Where thou diest, will I die, and.
there will I be buried: the Lord do
so to me, and more also, if ought
k
but death part thee and me. \,
So Naomi went back to Bethlehem. \
her old home town, and the news soon j
spread about that she had brought;
a lovely young widow with her. They!,
' were very poor, and Ruth spent her ,
days following the reapers in the (
! fields. Ruth gleaned, and Boaz. the
most desirable bachelor in Bethlehem.

Have you by any chance read the j
Jgenealogy of Jesus as it is giver, in (
! the frist chapter of Matthew ? There ,
j are four women whose names will live :
j forever as having; passed down thru ;
i their veins the blood of our Lord.
First of ail. Tamar, whose tragic
|story is in the thirty-eighth chapter!

J pr.d Bathsheba is third, that bril- .
jliant woman who abandoned Uriah'
[the Hittite to become the favorite!
.wife of David and the ir.otlier of Sol- j

quartet.
And the fourth ancestress of Jesus''
She is Ruth, the maiden of
Moab. who said, "Thy people shall be J
my people and thy God my God "

YOUTH OF TOD \Y
Thi- human soul in vonth is not a I
j machine, of which you can polish tlie |
cogs to put it in good working or- j
del. Start year immortal locomotive
at twenty-five years old. express for
the strait gab* on the narrow road.
The whole period of youth is one. cs- !
! sentially, of formation, edification, in- j
jstruction. And may we use these:
I words with their weight in tnern. in j
taking a review in vital habits, hopes I
and faith. There is not an hour of it
that is not a trembling hour in which
destinies are made. nor. a moment of
which, once passed, the appointed
work can ever bo done again, or the
neglected blow struck on the eol'f
iron. Take your vase of Venice glass

through that transparent heat: but j

Sun of Righteousness does not dispel
tiie nvorai mists and fogs before noon,
the whole day generally remains overspread
and gloomy. It. is the seedtime,
and what a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. Everything of importance
is affected by religion in
this period of life. You have often
heard it said of such and such a person:
"He is burning the candle at both
ends." Spendthrifts waste both capital
and interest; and both by neglecting
business and wasting their sub-1
stance on expensive pleasures, they
burn the candle at both ends. The
vicious not only exhaust their daily
strength, but they draw upon the. future
of their constitutions, so that
within a few years have gone they are
old men before their time. Beware of
burning the candle at both ends. It
will go fast enough if you burn it
only at one end; for your stock of
-fuciiijui una lire is very limited.

MR. LEONARD E. WILSON WINS
SPECIAL SALES AWARD
Leonard 33. Wilson, Zionville, the
Watkins dealer, is proudly displaying
a handsome lapel button awarded to
him for big sales on fly spray by the
J. R. Watkins Company of Winona,
Minn. The button carried on it the
legend, "Fly Spray Champion" Apparently,
farmers, dairymen and stock
raisers in this community are taking
early and decisive action to control
the fly pest this year. With better
prices on livestock and livestock products,
farmers are investing in dependable
stock and poultry preparations
to guard the health of stock and
to speed up production.
li is a well recognized fact that
flies are a menace to mankind and
livestock. They breed in filth, live on
filth and distribute filth. They spread
typhoid fever, summer complaint and
other infectious diseases. They cause
the loss of thousands of dollars in
spoiled food annually. They dirty wall
paper, draperies, lamp shades and other
home furnishings, costing enormous
expense.
Dairymen lose thousands and thousands
of dollars annually, due to the
in 11111rv inuuutLiuii. c jics torment
and torture animals, causing
loss of weight and vitality. When cows
are contented and free of the biting
irritating torture from flies, they eat
better and produce better. When cows
are pestered by flies, the milk yield
is cut down.
Scientists figure that one female
fly will lay one trillion eggs in a sea- j
son. That's why heavy oils of the repellent
type are rio longer popular i
with the farmers. Instead, pyrethrum J
sprays which have a high killing power
are gaining in popularity every
day.
