THIS WEEK’S BIBLE THOUGHT
YE WILL REAP WHAT YE SOW:
Be not deceived; God is not mocked;
for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. For he that sow
eth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap
corruption; but he that soweth to the
Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting. And let us not be weary
in well doing; for in due season we
shall reap, if we faint not.—Gala
tians 6:7-9.
BOY SCOUTS SHOULD
BE REORGANIZED
We notice that the Ed Bond Post
of the- American Legion and the
Rotary Club are discussing the pos
sibility of reorganizing the Edenton
Boy. Scouts. This is a worthy en
.deavor, and the Herald hopes it can
.be accomplished.
D The fdct is, we see no reason why
the troop has failed to function. It
is an excellent organization for grow
ing boys, and with proper supervi
sion could result in great good among
the boys.
Edenton is especially fortunate in
having a beautiful Scout cabin, which
was donated by Mr. J. A. Woodard.
This cabin is a credit to the town and
should be an incentive for boys to
join the organization. It provides an
excellent meeting place, a3 well as
the best possible place for the vari
ous functions connected with scout
craft.
The Herald hopes the Boy Scouts
will be reorganized, and offers to co
operate in any way to bring it about.
MUCH CREDIT DUE
COACH HENRY HOUSE
All Edenton is proud of the record
thus far made by Coach Henry House
and his Edenton High School foot
ball team. Mr. House, in his second
year as coach, has built up the most
successful football team that ever
represented the high school, defeating
all comers and not allowing a score
to be made against them. This is
saying a great deal, because in for
mer years good football teams were
produced, but none ever made a rec
ord comparable to this year’s achieve
ment. The team has won the North
eastern Conference championship and
next will play in the semi-finals for
the Class B championship of North
Carolina.
What reflects greater credit upon
the ability of Mr. House to produce
a good football team is the fact that
hd has built up a wonderful aggre
gation from a handful of material,
ail of which is composed of boys
with ordinary football talent. Teams
in former years invariably had a few
outstanding players, but as is the
case in football a team is just as
strong as the weakest piayer. Vv’e
would not minimize the ability of the
Spencer Brothers, the tackling of
Spruill and the punting of Rogerson,
but what we’re driving at is the fact
that the boys play as a unit, and
work hard to win a game, regardless
of who receives the glory for making
the touchdowns.
Thi3 sort of spirit surely must
have been the result of coaching, and
has resulted in the team winning the
championship of this section.
We congratulate the boys, as well
as Mr. House in what has been ac
complished and hope we’ll be able
to refer to them as the champion
Class B team in North Carolina.
COOPERATIVES SERVE
IN MANY WAYS
Some of the most important-activi
ties of progressive farm cooperatives
deal with problems not directly re
lated to the buying and selfing es ag
ricqjiferai commodities.
*These problems include such mat
ters as monetary policies, tariffs,
commodity prices and all manner of
government legislation. The farmer,
in common with all other producers
and workers, is vitally affected by
national and international economic
trends and policies. His farm, so far
as this is concerned, is no different
from a bank, a service industry, a
life insurance comany, or any other
institution —in the long run, he will
fail or succeed to the same degree as
other endeavors, here and abroad,
fail and succeed.
The great farm co-ops have given
the farmer something he cannot ob
tain for himself as an individual—
experts who work to make his in
fluence, his wishes and hi 3 interest
felt. In doing that, they have been
extremely successful farm leaders
have been called in during the writing
ft? important legislation of various
/ kinds, and the > completed bills con
tain valuable features that they sug
gested.
Thus, the farm co-op serves in
many ways—and rthe thousands of
progressive farmeA who make suc
cessful cooperativUassociations posgj
sible are building, ■dijy for the

j KWEARD AND SEEN
I MM n T
Well, the big day is over—and if
Edenton was “cocky” before last Fri
day, the Elizabeth City Yellow
Jackets will have to get their second
wind and try again. Fact of the mat
ter is, the Edenton Aces might have
reason to be “cocky” now, inasmuch
as they gave the Jackets a worse
beating than had been anticipated.
Os course, we’ve heard the alibi—l7
football players were graduated last
year. But even at that the Eliza
beth City school has much more ma
terial to draw from—in fact they
had enough men on the field in uni
form Friday to have three teams.
The white goat on the gridiron didn’t
belong to Edenton—it was Elizabeth
City’s goat, and we came near getting
it. Anyway, it was a good game,
and although we’ve shoved Elizabeth
out of the running, here’s hoping
they “pull” for the Aces in bringing
the championship back to the Albe
marle. They ought to—they’ve trim
med us often enough.
o
One of my country friends who
done his courting possibly 50 years
ago, noticed one of our dolled up
young things the other day on Broad
street “You know,” said he, “I’d be
afraid' to kiss a girl nowadays unless
I was near a doctor’s office.” I didn’t
see what he was driving at, and in
quired why. “Because,” he said, “I’d
get painter’s colic sure as you’re
bom.” I told him some of the paint
is flavored now, but he .claimed he
liked the good old natural taste.
o
Motorists ought not keep their win
dows so clean. Lloyd Burton the
other night while dishing out drinks
to a party in an automobile tried to
shove the tray through the window
and as a result spilled some of the
beverages. The window was so clean
that Friend Burton thought the thing
was turned down. Shucks, I thought
courting couples wanted shaded
windows, but another fellow told me
that when they get ready to court
now they don’t care who sees them.
—o
A local fellow the other day had a
check, and remarked that he had
spent all the money he had except
said check. “Well, why don’t you
cash it,” asked a friend. And the
answer came back, “It isn’t old
enough.” Hows zat!
o
One of our good-hearted ladies
while riding around, met up with a
man on his way home, and very
kindly offered to drive him home.
He accepted the invitation, and upon
getting out of the car, asked the
lady to come in and have supper
with the family. “No, thank you,”
said the lady, “I’m real hungry to
night.”
o
I’m glad Halloween is over. Os
course, there was no rowdyism in
Edenton, but the streets were littered
with little tots and some older ones
masquerading. But what gets my
goat is that I put on my Sunday
suit and upon strolling down Broad
street, some guy had the audacity to
say to me: “That’s a mighty comical
costume you’ve got on tonight, Buff.’
I couldn’t reach his nose!
o
I just had to print George Lassi
ter’s poem elsewhere in these
columns. I asked him about the
spelling of some of the words.
“It’s a poet’s privilege to change the
spelling of words,” he said. Well,
maybe it is, but if any words are not
spelled correctly in this paper—that’s
a printer’s privilege.
a
Little tots can’t help but stopping
and looking in the window of Leg
gett & Davis Drug Store. This firm
is again this year giving away sub
stantial toys to those children re
ceiving the highest number of votes
given on purchases. And gosh ding,
maybe some of the daddies wouldn’t
mind playing with the toys them
selves.
c ■=*&?
Bill collectors are making their
monthly pilgrimage. Hope all are
not in my fix—l’ll be "on my feet”
pretty soon now. That is if I don’t
soon have the shoes half-soled.
c
John Sutton doesn’t see much dif
ference in the times. He says he
didn’t have anything B. D. (before
depression) and that he hasn’t nary
a thing now.
o
The town and community is all pla
carded with signs advertising the
Chowan Agricultural Fair, and it
looks like old times again. It is ex
pected that large crowds will attend.
Those desiring to place exhibits in
the fair are asked to get in touch
with those in charge immediately.
o
The Herald fell down on results
from advertising last week. C. N.
Griffin lost a large belt from a pea
nut picker on the way to Paul Bunch’B
farm. He inserted a want ad in the
Herald, but the belt hasn’t been re
turned—and the chances are that it
will not be returned, especially if the
finder don’t want to. Anyway, Mr.
Griffin would like to have the belt
back.

A farmer from the Rocky Hock
section was in the office the other

were about to starve and that

1 cotton. But by gosh in reading over
- our correspondence from the coun

l So and So as dinner guests. Looks
’ like some of them must have a little

While Officials were pouring con
j fiscated whiskey down the sewer in
t front of the court house Friday I was
reminded of the song mentioned some
’ time ago by Roy Emminizer, “Shall
| We Gather at the River?” I didn’t
see anybody gathering, however.
Maybe that wasn’t all the liquor in
I Edenton!
o
' Sunday was another bad day for
Methodists. It sprinkled again, and
' although they believe in sprinkling,
; many remained home from Sunday
School and church. Ed Habit thinks
they ought to go to church, rain' or
not—he’ll clean and press the suits.
And so will Friend Oglesby.
o
The High School football team
tackles Hertford Friday afternoon.
A few years ago Hertford whipped
the Edenton team, and reports from
there are to the effect that they’ll
give Edenton a hard fight. Coach
Hughes is drilling his boys, for the
contest, and a good game is ex
pected. The affair will be played in
Hertford, starting at 2:30 o’clock.
Let’s stick by our boys, and go along
to Hertford and bring home the
bacon. Hertford isn’t in the confer
ence, but let’s see if Edenton can
hold them scoreless.
o
I saw in a New Bern paper that
Harry Jacobs and a number of Bap
tist leaders are real public enemies,
from a chicken’s view point. Accord
ing to the paper, after all the preach
ers and leaders were through with
breast meat and drum sticks, barn
yards of the vicinity looked pretty
barren. The paper also says, “When
a thousand Baptists get together at
one time, you can dig out an old um
brella, for rain ain’t camping fgr be
hind.”

Jno. C. Bond Company will give
away free to the person holding the
lucky number a beautiful Aladdin
lamp. Some of these lamps are on
display in their window. Have a
look when you’re down town. May
be you can win one. With two
stores now giving away something
free, I’ve got my eye on all win
dows, in the hope that somebody will
give away a pair of breeches or a
pair of shoes.

I EDITORS SAY
V
> EXILE *
Judges frequently condemn a per
. son who has been found guilty of
> some crime to exile from the city or
i state in which the crime was com
> raitted. The News and Observer of
Raleigh does not think highly of
such procedure. If, reasons the Ob
. server, the man was not guilty he
i should be set free and if he was
i guilty he should not be sent to be
. come a menace to some other inno
i cent community. Editor Beasley of
- the Monroe Journal thinks that there
, can be no general rule made about it
but that every case must be handled
separately. He recalls some instances
in which the change of environment
has helped the exiles to live better
lives. Our idea is that judges have
made too free use of the exile pen
alty. That is especially true of city
court judges. Too often men and
women are run out of one city only
to go to the neighboring city to carry
on their nefarious lives. A city
judge, however, has a problem on his
hand. Every city is afflicted with a
number of undesirables and it takes
a Solomon to know best how to handle
them. Exile i 3 not a solution, for as
fast as the judge of one city court
exiles his bunch, their places are filled
by those who have been exiled from
the neighboring city. Maybe some of
them will get tired of being run out
of cities and will decide to straighten
up. It is not a simple problem.—
