SOL ADAMS ADDS HUE OF “POPE” TOW. IC. BRIGGS Bertie Reader Thinks Preacher Unfair In * Use of Epithets I notice in the last installment of Parson Briggs’ “serial story” that he has confessed being a Scribe and a Pharisee, and is also afflicted with a bad case of jitters. lam confident he did not think I was going to make cannon fodder out of his anatomy that scared him so much, but it was to escape the dragnet of the law he wanted to evade and fled over here in Bertie to have his pets doped. The Chowan officers of the law are what gave him a worse case of jitters than Jacob had when he fled from the sight of Esau. This time it was not disking of gun locks but the rattle of jail locks that dis ' located his heart and chocked up his throat. Anybody that’s as fickle and hissy-sissy as that would never stand to look down a loaded gun bar rel, but would either faint stiff or out run a sewing machine. Anybody that will make an 86 yard “kick” against a humane law and cause others to get in the to3s of the law as happened in Chowan a few days age, and flee to safety himself is a worse coward than Benedict Arnold. And in view of this he has the au dacity to call me ugly names. “Your siiiaw speak much louder than words” says Shakespeare. Mrthmks Pw tried to stay on the heart side of the parson but he still persists in using all sorts of epithets that a muddled brain can think of. 1 have addressed him as Parson, Friend, Preacher, Clergyman, Mr. Briggs and elevated him to a judge ship, still he is peeved at me. May be he wants me to Idas him. But as Senator Beynolds said of Senator Morrison, “111 swear 1 won’t do that.” As a last resort to appease his peevishness I will address him as his “Highness The Pope-’’ Which one of the mossy fellows would he like to imitate, Leo, Gregory, Pious, Benedict or Casander? Since he is badly in arrears with his answers, I’ll just assign the Grouchy Casander as his protege. Now, “His High ness Pope Casander,” ought to feel ► highly elated with this title tacked on hjjt clerical coat tail. As the “Vicar of Christ” he ought to be able to stop the sun from running long enough to win a round or two. Fact is he ought to be exhilarious and r jubilant, and I am not expecting him to corrupt his brains with any more lies and epithets' about me. Os course, “Pope Casandder,” I wa s sure your character fitted in with that of the Scribes and Phari sees, but did not think you had the honesty to admit it. And I may add that anyone who has the stomach to crawl in the hay and bed up with that motley, grizzly, slimy bunch of hypocrites of whom Jesus said: “Scribes, Pharisees, hypocrits, for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed 'appear beautiful out ward, but within full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanliness—ye ser pents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell?” If that’s the kind of charac ters he hugs to his heart, I am not surprised at the hard things he can > say about anyone, and as I started to say, with a stomach of the kind bull beef would taste sweeter than tenderloin. A1 Smith and the Popes are angles compared with the i Scribes and Pharisees. Now, “Pope Casander,” as to those t two carbines behind your door, I want it understood I’m not putting < on any hair-raising, breath-taking Hollywood gun play stuff with a con- j fessed Pharisee holding the trigger- j end of the musket, for that musty bunch spiked the innocent Son of . God to a post and should not have the chance to mob some one else. I don’t mind exchanging shots with A1 Capone, a Dillinger, or a Baby Face j Nelson, but I’m not playing any } .games with a doughty, wormy preacher. I don’t think “Pope Cas- t ander” could hit a bam door, and if J he has to wait for the Lord to ans- „ wer his prayer to steady his nerves J he will never hit a whole bam, but * i still I am not taking any chances with a self-confessed hypocrite. If t I decide to join Hollywood for a n “curtain raiser” no Scribe or Phari see with “the blood of the prophets oil their hands” will be my partner. ' S. B. ADAMS. Editor’s Note: Mr. Adams feels .that Mr. Briggs was very unfair in his last article and has paid to have this letter published. He has no ill will toward the preacher and so far as he is concerned the matter is dropped. However, he does ask that Mr. Briggs, if at any time writing about him, to use facts or some sem blance of the truth.

Grows Tree Seedlings To Plant Next Season Fifteen million trees, shrubs, and vines are growing in the Soil Conser vation Service nurseries at Polkton and Chapel Hill this year to supply the needs during the next planting season of the eight demonstration areas and 20 CCC camps doing ero- Bion control work in North Caro lina, according to L. B. Scott, Re gional Nurseyman of the Soil Con servation Service in the Southeast. About 280 acres of land have been leased for nursery purposes at Polk ton. The nursery at Chapel Hill is located on land belonging to the University of North Carolina. Near ly 110 acres of land are included in the tract. Plantings consist mostly Df hardwoods and pine. Seed planted in the spring was obtained last fall by CCC enrollees, who collected pine cones, locust pods and other hardwood seed. At planting time last spring fine seedbeds were prepared in the nur sery, and the seed was treated to hasten germination- Then the seeds were planted and the seedlings were watered, shaded, and protected from rodents and birds during the first few weeks. Seed beds were kept free from weeds. If the season is conducive to rapid growth, seedlings will be lifted this fall and distributed to demonstration and camp areas for planting on eroded land. Trees produced by the Soil Con servation Service nurseries, says Scott, are grown primarily to pro tect land from erosion. Morever, the new forests in a few years will pro luce revenue on land formerly too badly eroded to grow crops.
