OAROUMA, FRIDAY, APRIL 24, 1086 (EIGHT PAOBS) NUMBER 10 JUSTICE CLARKSON SPEAKS TO ST PAUL'S EPISCO PAL LAYMEN'S MEETING Tells Bis Listeners of The Oretik Value of The Holy Bible and Directs Atten tion to The Acts of Two Biblical Lawyers ? Intro duced by W. H. Yarbor ough ? Delightful Barbe cue Supper ? Meeting Pre sided Over By Kemp Yar borough, President of Laymen's League, And Held at Home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Beck. Hod. Herlot Clarkson, Senior Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, addressed the Laymen's League of St. Paul's Episcopal Church last Friday evening, April 17th, at 7:30 o'clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. R. C. Beck. The subject of Judge Clarkson's speech, whicii made a deep impression upon all who heard It, was "Two Biblical Lawyers." Judge Clarkson was introduced by Mr. W. H .Yarborough, who paid a fine tribute to his fearless integrity, hl? Christian character, and his spotless record in public and private life. "He Is one of the great laymen of the Episcopal Church In this nation," said Mr. Yarborough, "but men who never enter a church admire and honor him for his unwavering courage and Integrity. He has from boy hood battled in the stormy and sometimes sordid arena of politics but his hands have remained un solled by double dealing, and he haa never 'crooked the pregnant hinges of the knee that thrift mlfht follow fawning.' When the Sty comes when his portrait shall take its place on the walls of the Supreme Court room among the likenesses of the other great judges who have presided In that temple of justice, none will look upon It without admiration and reverence for the ability and the learning, the. character and the courage, the conscience and the Christianity which now make him one of the truly great men of our state." Judge Clarkson prefaced his ad dress by recalling with pleasure prominent citizens of Louisburg whom he has known ? Judge Jos eph J. Davis, the late War Gover nor Thomas W. Bickett. and Mrs. Fannie Y. Bickett, widow of Gov ernor Bickett. Judge Clarkson then, in vigor ous and inspiring language, drew his listeners' attention to "that God of books ? the Bible." He told how, throughout his life, it had been a source of inspiration to him in all his efforts? "of com fort and cheer, and of courage and of patience in adversity." He drew from it many instances of high achievement and heroism, of love and unselfishness. He told of the faith and patience of Job; of the wonderful loyalty and devotion of Jesus' desciples, who, simple men though they were, yet changed tl>e world; and the tragic story of King David and his son Absa lom. The speaker told his hearers how they could still find inspira tion and courage and a fine philo sophy of life from these beauti ful stories of the Bible, and from the noble ethical standards that It taught. He then told the story of Gama liel, one of the Biblical lawyers, who waa a Pharisee and a learn ed doctor of the law. When the Jewish Councill or Sanhedrim were considering what should be their treatment of JesuB' apostles, and debating whether or not they should imprison or punish them. It was Gamaliel, the lawyer, who arose and said, "Refrain from these men, and let them Alone; for if this counsel or this work be of men. it will be overthrown; but if it Is of God. ye will not be able to overthrow them; lest hap ly ye be found even to be fight ing against God." And his counsel prevailed. The other Biblical lawyer whom he had in mind, said the speaker, was that one who came question ing to Jesus, and asked Him, "How shall I inherit eternal life?" It was this earnest question that brought from Jesus his great sum mary of all Hi* teaching in the two supreme commandments of love; "Thou Shalt love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thy self." And when the lawyer fur ther asked, "And who Is my neigh bor?", Jesus answered him with possibly the greatest of all His parables, the Parable of the Good (Continued on page eight r Registrars And Poll Holders The following Registrars and poll holders were appointed at a meeting of the Board of Elections for Franklin County on Saturday, April 8th. 1936.

A Distinction Louisburg Is this week enjoy ing a distinction that few. If any, places in the United States may or has ever enjoyed. This parti cular feature is the liquidation of the First National Bank, by pay ing to its depositors one hundred cents in the dollar for what money they had in the bank, plus Inter est at the rate of six per cent. If there are other Incidents of this kind they are so few that the average citizen has never heard of them. Credit for this condition Is due first to the exceptional business ability of the officers of the old bank in the handling of the bank's Imsiness, and In closing at the time they did when everybody had apparently lost all reasoning. 3econdly to the splendid efforts, ability and efficiency of Messrs. Norman S. Bennett and L. A. Lentz in handling the business of the receivership. We understand that there are other funds in process of collection that will be turned In to the stockholders as a profit, they having already re ceived their stock and assess ments. T. J.

Farmers Urge Special Session Of Legislature Ehringhaus Tells Large Au dience of Tobacco Grow ers Reasons For Not Calling Assembly Raleigh, April 21. ? Though Governor Ehringhaus told them proposed tobacco compact! to control production of the crop would not give control, more than 6,000 North Carolina farmers voted, after hearing him, that they still wanted a special legisla tive session to consider the act. The mass meeting adjourned without the governor definitely saying he would not call the leg islative session, but throughout his speech he contended the Vir-i glnia law and congressional en abling measure would not achieve control. JP "It would be easy for me -"to call this session of the legisla ture." said the chief executive, "If you had a gutless governor, but until next January you have a governor who will stand up and tell you the truth." After the governor had spoken, June Grimes, of Beaufort, replied. He said the governor had "put everybody In the class of nitwits and blockheads who differed with him on the values of this legisla tion." Grimes contended the governor "has misconception of his duty as governor, his sworn duty when an extraordinary occasion arises to call the legislature Into ses sion by and with the advice of the council of state." Stacey W Wade, secretary of state and a member of the coun cil, told the farmers "If I were governor I would call the legisla ture within IB minutes" and two other members present, auditor Baxter Durham and Treasurer Charles M. Johnson, said they would vote for a call if the gov ernor recommended. Clyde Erwin. superintendent of public instruc tion and fourth member, was ab sent. The farmers voted apparently' unanimously for a special session Just before the governor spoke and it appeared few if any chan-| ged their opinion after hearing him. Governor Ghrlnghaus told the growers the Virginia law "ought to be called an uncontrol bill" and urged "let's not put a noose around our necks." Spokesmen for the growers., headed Ify R. T. Cox, of Pitt coun-" ty. and Dr. J. Y. Joyner, of La Grange, had earlier urged the governor to put aside personal convictions and by calling a spec ial session place the responsible j ity for what happens on the to bacco farmers. J. E. Winslow/ president of the state farm bureau federation, presided over the meeting of some 6, (TOO growers. "If we are going into control for God's sake let's not put a noose about our necks and put the loose end of the rope in hands of foreigners to choke and stran gle us," said the governor. I, i Governor Ehringhaus said the Virginia compact act '.does not! protect against the speculative or nonproductive buyers and cannot prevent a farmer "growing and marketing as he pleases." He added the measure proposed to Impose "measly" fines for viola tions. "Uncontrol Bill" "Tnls ought to be called an un control bill though I don't want: to criticize our congressional del-! egatlon," he continued. "The en-; abling act In congress without; limitation of interstate commerce Is nothing but a gold brick. It is Impossible foq individual states to control the tobacco surplus. The congressional act has had the heart taken out of it. The governor said it had been impressed on him the farmers; wanted absolute control. "I want >you to become ac quainted with the bill which some| mistakenly seem to think will ef-, feet control," he counselled. "I! am convinced you do not knoWj what it contains and many who; have spoken must not have read a line of it. I want the farmers of North Carolina protected in their rights. If you will read and study this bill I doubt if there will be so much demand for calling a special session of the legislature. "Under the bill passed by Vir ginia and proposed for North Car olina instead of controlled pro duction, you will have no control. And Georgia and South Carolina might take over North Carolina's quota." Cox requested the governor to call a special session "here and now to meet ... as soon as the enabling act for tobacco compacts 1b passed by the senate." The mates meeting fell short in attendance of the 15,000 wanted to All the football stadium at N. C. State College but the demand for a legislative session for com pacfeonsideratlon was vigorously applauded. ,, Governor Ehringh&us walked Agricultural Building The Agricultural Building for Frankllnl County has been approv ed by the W.

Four states are wrapped up In tobacco. We want to control ourselves. The gover nor should take the lefed and If North Carolina had done so we would have had control." Cox described conditions in 1932 when prices were low and was interrupted by an ovation of applause when he said "Franklin D. Roosevelt, our greatest com mander-in-chief, took charge in 1933 and then we began to see the light of day." Wlnslow explained the meeting waB to consider the tobacco situ ation "and is not a political gath ering."

Griffin Addresses Schoolmasters At Meeting at Edward Best High School Wednesday Night ? Large Number Present ? Many Good Talks Lloyd E. Griffin, Secretary to the State School Commission, de livered a most Interesting and ?ajoyable address before the Schoolmasters Club at Its meet ing at Edward Best High School Wednesday night. In his open ing remarks the speaker stated he would not caret (or any greater honor bestowed upon him than a modern school building bearing his name, such as the Edward Best School. "There may be something finer than education, but if there is I do not know where to And it, nor under what name it might be classed." He reviewed the school history of the State from before the Civil war to the present time. Show ing how In the beginning schools were private institutions, and .how and under what circumstan ces they were made public insti tutions, showing how the taxing 'power was limited and how the" school advantages were limited, but progressed from stage to stage, until it developed a State supported high school and then to the State supported eight months school term. He paid a preny trlDute to Gov. Bickett, and reviewed the period of pros perity after the World War, show ing how we had assumed obliga tions that Increased our burdens during the time of depression. He said that 1933 presented the darkest times for education In his recollection, when school house doors were about to be closed and teachers salaries re maining unpaid. He told of how the Legislature raised its appro priations from sixteen million to twenty million then to twenty million nine hundred thousand for next year, and said the State is now operating 407 9 buses transporting 265,000 chll | dren. He did not consider any proposition or program as broad as that which offers opportunity t>o children to get an education There are some values coming from schools that can't be meas ured In dollars and cents, he said. I Teachers may never live In beau tiful homes or ride in handsom^ automobiles on the meagre sal aries they receive, but you will receive great compensation in the pleasure you receive from the pro gress of those you teach. Speak ing of tomorrow he said it is up to you. Tberq Is no need for de pression In North Carolina, and enumerated its resources showing that the grand Old State stands in the lead not only fn the United States, but the whole world. He thinks the trouble with our peo ple is they have become slaves to cotton and tobacco.

Mills made a pleasing and Interesting talk telling of talking with Judges who said It was the rarest thing to try a young boy for stealing, etc., who had finished high school; the most of the boys tried for these crimes were those who had (top ped school before they had begun to form good character. He con sidered It a great privilege to be a part of a great educational rev olution. He told of hearing one advise young people to leave the farm. This he said was a great mistake as the farm is the plaoe we can build the finest and high est type of citisenship.
