j IN WASHINGTON j WHAT IS TAKING PLACE BY Of the many developments dur ing the first week of the final ses sion of the Seven-fifth Congress, two stand put. They are the con structive message of President Roosevelt and the act/ion of sev en Southeastern Governors, In cluding Governor Hoey of North Carolina in endorsing a wage and hour bill. This latter is particu larly significant in light of; the fact that opposition to fche much misunderstood wage and hour bill has come from the South. Some of the misunderstanding has been due to methods of ad ministering the measure and in this connection t>he Governors ex pressed confidence that the Presi dent and the Congress would work out and "provide satisfac tory administrative machinery." The action of the Governors gives new emphasis to an important' paragraph of the President's mes sage deserving of widespread at tention. He said: "Government has a final res ponsibility for the well-being of its citizenship. If private coopera tive endeavor fails to provide work for willing hands and relief for the unfortunate, those suffer ing hardships fro~m no fault of their own have a right to call up on the government for aid; and a government worthy of its name must make flMing response." Another paragraph of the Pres idential message strikes directly at sectional opposition to the wage and hour bill. It says: "I have spoken of economic causes which throw the nation's income out of balance; I have spoken of practices and abuses which de mand correction through the co operation -of capital and labor with the government. But no gov ernment can help the destinies of people who insist on putting sec tional and class-consciuosness ahead of general weal. There must be proof that sectional and class interests are prepared more greatly than they are today to be national in outlook." This statement by President Roosevelt is particularly import ant at a t-ime when sectional is sues are raised in connection with important legislation. Members of Congress now realize that the farmer has been given advantages though legislation designed to raise the level of farm prices and thereby increase farm income. Business and industry has been assisted through loans and in creased output and sales by means of both Federal loans and Federal expenditures. The upper strata of labor ? the organized groups ? ? have been aided with legislation that strengthens its bargaining position. Obviously, something must be done for the low-paid workers who toil long hours and often un der sweatshop conditions. This is where the wage and hour bill would be a help, And it should be emphasized that farm labor, em ployees of local merchants and many other groups would not be affected. Only those industries and businesses in interstate com merce would be included in Fed eral regulation of wages "and hours. In fact, strictly local busi nesses would be helped through increased purchasing power in the community. ? GOLD HAND SCHOOL NEWS ? ? Published by Pupils of * ? Gold Sand High School ?

If you haw to Saks a BLACK-DRAUGHT LAXATIVE Louisburg Theatre TUESDAY, JAN. 18TH The Man Who Claims To Be The Original JESSE JAMES, In Person Jesse James at The Louisburg Theatre! Jesse James, t'he original Mis souri outlaw who was supposed to 1 have been shot by Bob Ford 011 j April 3, 1882, has returned to the 1 realm of the living after a hide- 1 out of fifty-one years, and will ! be seen in person at the Louis- ; burg Theatre in Louisburg Tues- ' day, January 18th. Explaining that t-he historical ! "picture - on - the - wail" shooting was a frame-up, James says that j he, his brother Frank and Bob j Ford plotted to get rid of Charles Bigelow, an outlaw who had been j committing crimes and leaving in dications t-hat it was the work of , the James boys. When Ford shot Bigelow, Jesse immediately rush ed into the room and changed guns and other marks of identifi cation -with the slain man, and 1 escaped into the hiding that was destined to out do Rip Van j Winkle. During his seclusion, , James earned a quiet living as a dealer in cattle and race-horses, spending most of the ' time in | Colorado, and passing under the name of "Jim Williams." When he decided to return to public life, Jesse James obtained assurances in Washington that charges once in effect againsti him were no longer in Torce because there were no living witnesses. Accompanied' by a delegation of early settlers who had identified him, James also paid a visit to the governor of Missouri and was told that when the $10,000 re ward was paid to Bob Ford, the case was officially closed as far as the State of Missouri was con cerned. In his appearances at the Louis burg Theatre, James will recount th ehigh-lights of his most inter esting experiences and will des cribe his escape in detail. In addition to Jesse James in person, the Louisburg Theatre will present Hank Farris and Ann ; Alexander, cowboy entertainers, ! in their famous Australian whip ! cracking and fancy roping act. The screen attraction will be Ann Sothern and Jack Haley in j "Danger Love At Work." Craven farmers are using the ; new meat curing service of t-he Federated Exchange abattoir at . New Bern to good effect with over 40,000 pounds of meat now in cure. Extreme Discourtesy That Raleigh is "hot" because of the Chapman speech at the Jackson Day dinner at Raleigh is shown in W. Tom Bosti's corres pondence to the Greensboro News pondence to 'the Greensboro News: Raleigh, Jan. 10. ? Raleigh got madder and madder today as it cogitated a full 48 hours on the Jackson day speech of Oscar L. Chapman, assistant secretary of the interior, who ignored Senator J. W. Bailey in his home town and tooted Senator Bob Reynolds very highly. Beginning with our Bob in Washington, the resentment made the national rounds and came back to Raleigh, gathering mo mentum with each circumlocu tion and reaching Raleigh with^ every decorat-ion. Much of the madness, euphemistically called I anger, is furnished by the out ? and out anti-Roosevelters who put up as much of the Jackson day dinner as the proponents of the > feast did, but there was plenty ir ritation to be found 'among the | | orthodox administratlonists, who bestirred themselves a year ago j in repulsion of the stupid Sena i tor Tydings Victory dinner speech, and found themselves embarrass ed by a similar performance by one of their own. The real reason for the heat in today's developments is a convic tion that the "slur" was inten tional. In music the "slur" is a ' short curve connecting notes which are tq be sung or played to the same ictus, or "performed without a break." In the vernacu lar a slur is a "trick", a cheat, an imposition, an intimation, an in I nuendo." It cannot be said that j Secretary Chapman slurred Bai ! ley "or performed without a | break." It was one of the worst ; "breaks" t>hat any politician in recent years has "performed." And there are some signs that Our Bob was "in the know." Yields of 1,000 to 2,000 pounds of Burley tobacco have been re ported by Yancey County grower* this season. W. O. Briggs, of Jacks Creek sold 1168 pounds of good tobacco produced on seven tent<hs of one acre for the sum of $293. i II ANNUAL Stockholders' Meeting Over $100.00 to be given away at the Annual Stockholders Meeting ol the Louisburg Production Credit Association in Louisburg on Jan uary 26th, 1938 at the Court House at 10 o'clock A.
