Page Fifteen Demonstration On Fencing Is Held At M. W. Jackson Farm Major and Minor Prin ciples Pointed Out By Specialists Extension Specialists John Gray and Howard M. Ellis, cooperating with Extension Agents J. B. Small and C. W. Overman, conducted an excellent demonstration on permanent fence construction at Marvin W. Jackson’s farm, near Edenton, on Thursday af ternoon. Mr. Gray is the Extension Forester and explained how low qual ity wood such as small pine, gum, pop lar, and oak can be cut for posts and treated so that they will last from 12 to 25 years, gum perhaps being the shorter life and pine about the long est. These small trees are found on practically every farm and in many cases are bountiful. Mr. Gray demon strated a simple home-made mechani cal post-peeler with which he peeled six foot posts, at the rate of 2 minutes per post. He carefully explained proper treatment of posts, after they are thoroughly dry, with preserva tives. The cost of treating runs from 12c for a 6 feet, 3 inch post to around 30c for the largest post needed in fence construction. Mr. Ellis, Extension Engineer, dem onstrated and explained proper fence construction. He pointed out careful ly the major and minor principles in fence construction. Proper construc tion of corner and end posts to hold the fence securely. Line posts are on ly needed to hold the fence up. Later al wires in a fence are crimped be tween the stay wires to form a spring effect so that the fence will give and come back into place. Staples on the line posts are used only to hold the fence up and should not be driven tight enough to bend the wire or hold it securely against the post. There must be enough opening to permit the line wires to move back and forth, in other words, breathe, so that when the fence receives a shock it will give for a long distance and then come back into place. Put the bottom wire of woven fence 3 inches above the ground so that it will not rust out because of ground moisture, but use a strand of barbed wire at the ground to hold the stock. One to two strands of barbed wire above the woven wire will give good protection. At end posts and comer posts the wire fence should be fastened securely by run ning the line wires around the posts and winding each wire securely around itself. Do not use staples driv en hard into the posts to hold the wire. Whenever a staple bruises a wire it damages the galvanize caus ing the metal to become exposed and start rusting.

Column By James Mackenzie L -» Why do so many constantly take i the name of the Lord in vain? I can i understand how a man could become 1 erislaved to drink, or take to stealing, < and sympathize with him; but what s possible reason could anyone in his < right mind give for cursing? i In the first place, the Bible very i clearly commands, “Thou shalt not 1 ! what KIND M RAVES DO YOU RATE?

Co. take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.” And this is the only one of the Ten Commandments to carry the added warning, "for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain.” (Exodus 20:7). So sacred is the name of God, that the ancient Israelites were warned, “and he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, he shall surely be put to death” (Leviticus 24:16). If there is one sin that is heinous above all others in the sight of God, it is the wicked and stupid sin of flippantly and blas phemously speaking His name. Indeed, this is the first sin that was ever committed; of which Satan was guilty when he boasted, “I will be like the most High” (Isaiah 14:14). To speak the name of God, and curse another person, is to set oneself up ip the place of God, who alone is Judge; and this is the rankest of blasphemies and the most unpardonable of sins.. Further, the sin of cursing is the most foolish of them all. Those who commit it gain nothing from it, and find no physical pleasure in it. Neith er is it a sign of sophistication, as some seem to think. Any parrot can curse. As a matter of fact, th6 rea son I quit cursing when I was a boy, is that I noticed the dumbest boys I knew had the most curse words in -■ 1 •-' ■ r . . a their vocabularies, while the mom In- B telligent of them very seldom, If ever, y found it necessary to resort to pro -11 sanity. That was up in Michigan; Bland I find that the ratio is about the o same down here in North Carolina, e) Finally, cursing is a sure sign of d poor training. He who curses casts ea reflection on his parents, his church ” and hiipself; testifying to all within e hearing that he is crude, utterly des s titute of culture and social training, d that he doesn’t have a sufficient com i- mand of his native tongue to ex press himself, that he is easily frus s trated, has no self-respect, and cares s not for the favor and grace of God. ® Former Edenton Man l Is Guilty Os Murder s Wednesday of last week at Annapo lis, MdL, Marcus Ray Nixon, former e Edenton resident, was found guilty of o fatally shooting Corporal Donald L.
