Johnson, Assistant Editor and Manager SUBSCRIPTION RATES Ome Year *1.50 Si* Months 73 Eight Months .... l.OO Foot Months SO Foreign Advertising RfpiTMnUihe AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION New York City Entered at the Poetofflce at Louisburg, N. C. as second class mall matter. It seems to us that the action of the State Highway Commission in moving the Prison Camp from its pres ent location about wo miles North of Louisburg to a point about 10 miles South of Louisburg, is very n?uch out of keeping with economy and good judgment. The big reason, for the change of site, that we have heard is to be more centrally located in its district. To us it ? look a great deal cheaper, easy and more satisfactory to change the district lines. The action of the Chamber of Commerce towards this change is to be congratulated and it is hoped will be successful. l)odson Strolls If you're a sensible person, you've probably never bad your fortune told by one of that strange tribe of smooth-talking fakirs, ; who ply their trade along Broad way, one side avenues and in the dark recesses of some Eastside rendezvous of hokus-pokus . . . ' But, like most of us, you're prob ably not so sensible, that at least once in your lifetime, you haven't gone or won't go to a fortune tel-i ler "just for the lark," hear a lot of nonsense and then worry your self sick wondering whether or not the mystic was telling the truth ... He told you, remem ber? ? that you would hear of a death . . . And when you picked I up the paper the next morning, you discovered that Bill Whoozis whom you knew at , lodge, had checked out during the night . . . j "Wonderful," you murmur, but you d6n't believe in such trash, of course . . . "Then he told you that you were going on a journey j that would prove a disappoint ment, and you started for Phila- j delphia to see a football game. Enroute you had a flat tire or ' ran out of gas, were late to the football game or the show, or, if you are single, maybe the dame i had a date with another guy . . . ? "That fortune teller was right." you tell yourself, but you don't 1 believe in such trash, of course, j . . . He told you, if you recall, i that there was a dark woman (or a man if you happen to be a wo man) coming into your life, and i before the week was out an old college chum called up and said! he was in town and would it be all right if he bunked in with you ! for a day or two? . . . And he, or she stayed nearly two weeks, ate your food, and made a play for your girl, or boy-friend ae the i case may be. . . . "X should have [ been warned by what that fortune tellelf told me," you tell yourself) but you" don't really believe in j such trash, of course. ' In abort, all fortune tellers tell you things that are almost' bound to happen to anyone in everyday life, and despite yourself, you're "sold" on what they tell you as tvents transpire which they men tioned . . . Maybe some of them do possess occult powers I'm not a committee of one to delve into their mystic ways, but those I know seem to be as hu man as the rest of us and just as prone to a mistake in judgment. Take Professor Chiro, for ex ample ... In private life he is Mike Sursock, a legendary figure I and known to intimates as "Ab-> dullah" because that is one of his pet expressions and also the name ?t a parrot, which was sent him years ago from bis native Assyria ? I think it was Assyria ? Mike predicted that Tom Dewey would be elected, and blames his poor prediction on that fact that a "lasti minute deol" upset his spirit plan*. ? abort distance down the wtreet from Hike's temple of mys tic kuwMp is a simulated gyp ay tin* at palm readers, who an hoo4m that they can tell you your VortflB in asren languages . . . /One WH do (or omt purposes, so we'll stick to American slang . . . C couldn't see parting with a half a hob to have a' greasy-looking ! dame hold my hands and whisper l< guMerally that I have a great fu ture or a dark past, while her hus jhand or boyfriend eyed me from 'behind a slit in the curtain to see if I would be ripe for a touch. ... So we just sat in the recep tion cubbyhole and talked. . . . Business was not good. ? not bad, she said, but there are a lot of un believers. as compared with the old days when customers gave her a buck' and 'theh cauie back with 1 a bonus when her predict-ions came true. She asked me if there were; many conventions coming to town, what I thought of Hitler, what t'he weather outlook was. who would be the new police inspector and what I thought the World's Fait-' would be like .... For a dame who gets fifty cents for foretelling the future, she was admirably dumb. (il'IMJE HOBGOOI) PKKSIDKS (Continued from Page One) trtisted that liis mistakes had been on the side of mercy.
