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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

"She'll fall oat of love as quickly M

prophesied bar younger brother,
George.
"It's an awful disgrace," walled bar
sister Marie. The very Idea! We, of
tbe best old family In tbe county, tl|?
aristocratic Morebeada?and Jimmy
O"Toole, tbe black sheep cff evaS such
a family as the OToole's! Besides,
he's younger than she!"
"Utterly Incomprehensible to me,"
declared the mother gravely. "Alvlna

Tbe door opened and tbe family
looked somewhat embarrassed as a
slim young woman, her refined, sweet
features fairly shining wltb happiness,
came Into the room.
"Oh, you've been dlacnaalng me;
don't deny It," she laughed.
"My dear, the whole town la dis
cussing you!" her slater deplored.
"I don't care. Neither does Jlmmle 1"
with defiant, good humor.
"Oh, Jlmmle OTooie, he's used to
notoriety."
If Alvlna wtyced no one noticed ex
cept her mother. "My dear," said the
latter gently, "I am very much con
cerned about you. Jlmmle OTooie has
not the beat of reputations and I can
not see how such a marriage will bring
you any happiness."

brother and, without waiting for per
mission, "you'll never marry him, be
cause Jiramie isn't the sticking kind.
; He's flattered at present that he has
been able to bowl over the most con
servative girl In town."
Alvina's quick eye went from eoe
to the other. "You all have forgotten
one thing?that we love each other.
There's another thing, too, I'm going
to reform Jlmmie."
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.
Jlmmie's calls became less frequent
I and the family felt that the end dt
| Alvina's love afTalr was near, while
; Alvlna herself grew pale and plncbed

vina waited with growing; nervousness
for Jimmie. They were to hear a lec
ture on thought-control, and he had
promised faithfully to be there at sev
en-thirty. Alvina waited, her nervous
ness fanned by the family's remarks.
The clock strnck eight, eight-thirty,
and no Jimmy in sight At nine o'clock
Alvina burst into tears and went to
ber room, locking the door.
"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?"
"Jiminv OToole." interrupted Al
vlna smilingly, Tve flven up reform
ing you, but not loving you 1 Tve been
a prude and a poke and I expected the
Impoaslble of you. Look here," she un
wrapped a bundle, "all the neweet

her purse two tickets, "for a musical
comedy tonight 1 Now what do you

'i Jimiale did not touch the things bo

I In his brown bands, and his voice when
. he spoke was husky and lew. "That
I you are the finest woman I know,
, that I love you too much ever to give
you up and that I will make no mora
