LiflML. . ncJS ASSCOATTON | Friday, June 23,1922 ? ? ? Postofflce rows have been daQy, weekly, and monthly occurrences over the state of North Carolina during the past year. The latest and one of the ?1 commonest cases of dirty politics which has come to our attention, Started in Durham last week when the clerks of the postoffice united in a petition to have the postmaster, J.| O. Lunsford removed at once, His term will expire on September 1st We do not know anything of the par ticulars in this case, but would guess that somewhere around on the out side there is some one who wants the job, is not particular how he gets it, and will not wait until September 1st if he can help it n The attention of taxpayers and citizen* generally is called to the de tailed report of the finances of the county which appears in this week's issue of the Herald. These state ments should be carefully studied and understood by everyone who pays money into the county treasury in the form of taxes. Criticism of high taxes, etc., coming from people not acquainted with how the money is spent or just how and from where it kt raised, and how much, is unwarrant ed and without reason or logic; too often it receives serious attention which it does not deserve. The Board of County Commissioners deserve commendation for their careful pre sentation of this record. 0 Now that we have been properly "attended to" by Editor Saunder of the Elizabeth City Independent and delivered unto the Aulander Advance - for further punishment if same should be necessary; all on account of hav ing the gall to say that in our opinion Bro. Saunders was "tooting his own born" considerably of late; we sup pose there is nothing left for us to do but crawl in a hole and pull the bole in after us. But while medi tating in said hole, we cannot help but think that it is largely a matter of opinion as to whether Bro. Saun ders ranks yet with G. Washington, A. Lincoln and others of the days gone by. Still there is no accounting for tastes as the old woman said when she kissed the cow, so if the learned editor of the Aulander Ad vance would put "W. O." with the immortals, he certainly has our per mission to do so. 0 The American public leaps nimbly from one great crisis to another and public sentiment and interest is slow and difficult to awaken. Just at present a nation-wide railroad strike ?a top of a coal strike already in progress is threatened. Still the dear people are but faintly "interested when the consequences of such a thing, if it did come to pass would be eery serious indeed. But the public has heard the old cry of "Wolf!" before, therefore the present state of mind on the subject. At that though, it is ? sorry state of affairs existing when the squabbles of a few men who con trol the railroads on one hand, and Nme labor leaders trying to hold their jobs on the other, should hare the power to even threaten the con venience and well-being of 100 mil lions of people. Come what may though, the folks of Eastern North Carolina have may things to be thankful for; it would take these pro posed strikes and several more some time to make unindurable in these parts. 0 Agricultural colleges in 45 State; are giving courses in agricultural economics and allied subjects thii year. In a number of States th< courses include studies in marketini co-operation, farm management, anc commercial geography. The Unite* Slates Department of Agriculture ii matching the work with great interest O New York City last year paid flOO, 000 for their supply of "frog legs." A substantial part of the income of $1,000,000 for the next few year* has been set aside by the Milbank Fund of New York to demonstrate in several districts how tuberculosis can be controlled in American communi ties. Announcement of this fact was made by John A. Kingsbury, Secre tary of the Fund, at the recent meet ing of the National Tuberlosis Asso ciation. The Milbank Fund was established by Mrs. Elisabeth Milbank Anderson, of New York City. The president of the Board of Trustees is Edward W. Sheldon, president of the United States Trust Company, New York, and the treasurer is Albert G. Mil bank of the Arm of Masten A. Nichols.; The other trustees are .Senator wuw u. ,Mutmrn . r-sd I Genw ? "iehols, kr.??S ro. fork "City, and Mr. John A. Kings bury, Secretary. The demonstration to be conducted is in the nature of a memorial to Mrs. Anderson. The Milbank Fund proposes to initiate a series of demon strations" based upon the successful Health and Tuebrculosis Demonstra tion, conducted for the last five years by the National Tuebrculosis Associa tion. The purpose of the clemonstra tion is to determine whether any American community, with proper or ganization and at reasonable expense, can reduce its tuberlosis death rate, as has been done in Framingham, to a nominal minimum, and to ascertain the proper organization and the per capita cost of such undertakings ap plied to larger cities and rural cities and rural counties. I * - <? II J_? ?? immeuiaieiy iuiiuwmg mc an nouncement, Dr. L. B. McBrayer, Di rector of the North Carolina Tuber culosis Association, obtained an in terview with Mr. Kingsbury with a view to securing an allotment for a demonstration in North Carolina. This matter has not been settled, but is now under consideration. Re markable progress has already been made in North Carolina in reducing the number of deaths from tuberculo sis. With definite information such as this demonstration will furnish, and with funds to carry on the work, North Carolina can rid herself of a disease which in 1921 cost us the lives of 2,566. This is just one-half the number who died before the people of North Carolina became in | terested in preventing tuberlosis by the application of the teachings of the North Carolina State Board of Health and the North Carolina Tuberlosis Association. If our death-rate can be cut in half with the resources at our command, can we not entirely eliminate tuber culosis when every one becomes suffi ciently interested. n WILDCAT PARSON . ORDERED ARRESTED Following is an account of the do ings of one Rev. Charles J. Weilberg, in our neighboring county of North hampton, as appearing in the Raleigh News and Observer. Acting on the complaint of D. P. Dellinger, Conway, 'Northampton county, State Insurance Commission er on Saturday, ordered the arrest of the Rev. Charles J. Weilberg, pastor of one pf the churches in that com munity, on a charge of peddling blue sky stock without a lieense. Del linger complains that the preacher fleeced him ost of $4,100 under prom ise of vast profits. Lists of accredited companies and salesmen carry neither the name of the wild cat preacher nor the Black Panther Oil Company. Nejther has any business in North Carolina, but this fact gets Dellinger nothing of his $4,100 back. Mr. Wade directed the sheriff of Northampton to make the arrest and hold the salesman for trial. Dazzled by the promise of 100 per cent dividends and disarmed by the ministerial earnestness and apparent i honesty of the preacher, Dellinger I bought a lot of Black Panther stock several months ago. The preacher got 10 per cent of the returns, $410 for inducing his parishioner to sink good money in the Black Panther. Dividends failed to show up on | schedule. Letters explained that the officers were away, and a meeting 1 could not be held to declare a divi ! dend. Mr. Dellinger was counselled to be patient, and later it was sug ' gested to him that further invest 1 ment of 30 per ceftt would materially enhance his previous subscription. Going to the preacher-salesman foi 1 counsel and comfort, Dellinger was I told that nothing could be done about 1 it. The fleeced citizen got more and ' more desperate, and Saturday wrote ' Mr. Wade the siutaUon, concluding 1 with the plea, "For God's sake helj 1 me get even with him." Mr. Wade 1 is entirely willing to help to the ex tent of putting the parson in Jail, bu that will not bring back the money. 0 For Results, try a HERALD Wan' "I I | REFORMING JIMMY By LILY WANDCL I ao^8yy?YaHya?jK?eiaKKrryHwia I (fc. ltlt. by MoClar* NmM<r Syndic!.

Things went along beantifully for a week or two, Alvlna glowing with happiness, the town and her family still skeptical. Then one evening Jlm mie missed an engagement and Alvlna waited in vain. It was George who brought the bad news. "Well, Jlmmie's fallen off?I knew It," with a grim laugh. "Of course, I did, too," came Al vina's surprising reply; "he is no angel?it's difficult to break bad habits all at once. I've been quite prepared for one or two slipbacks !* The family only sighed. The next day Jlmmie appeared repentant, full of new promises. There were several more slipbacks and Alvina's face became . slightly drawn and anxious.

"I think she is writing him a letter ?breaking the engagement," remarked her mother to the other two. "Poor child, an<i she loved blm so much I" The next morning a different Alvina came down to breakfast Not a trace of nervousness, anxiousness or hurry in her manner. After an hour's shopping she called up Jimmie and asked him to take her for lunch. "Jimmie,'' Alvina was saying at a tucked-away trible In a tea robin, 'Tve given up reforming you!" "That means good-by, I guess," he deducted with a sigh, high relieved, half unhappy. "Not that I blame you, Alvina, you've been an angel and l*nv not good enough to buckle your shoes. But I want to say this much, dear, that all you've done has not been en tirely for nothing. There always waa a remnant of self-respect in me, a love and admiration for the fine things of life?"
