Entered at the Postotflce at Louisburg. S. C. as second
daaa mail matter.
* Among the list of names mentioned a-s prospective
candidates for Town- Commissioner is Mr. W. J. (Pete)
Shearin. ~ t
Among^hose being spoken of as likely candidates for
Governor lb the next campaign is the name of AY. E. Fen
ner, of Rocky >Mount. Others named are J. M. Brough
ton, W. P. Horton, present Lieut. Governor, Charles M.
Johnson, State Treasurer. No doubt, the next campaign
"will open and begin to take form within the next few
weeks. Nash's Bill Fenner is commanding much atten
tion.
At one time there seemed as though there might be a
little interest in the town primary and election but things
seem to have calmed down some. There lias been con
siderable talk about some of the level-headed business
women of the town running for some of the positions.
Wonder if this would create any interest and excitement
The primary is ouly?a month off and less time than that
to file. If there has been anything to the gossip" by the
citizens of the town about not being satisfied with the
actions of the present Board, then it is up to them to
come out, or run someone, or take a "back seat." At
present it seems that we are going to have a rather quiet
.and unopposing primary . ' '
PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE
HUMAN RIGHTS
The decision of the United States Supreme Court that
"sit-down" strikes are illegal,, in spite of the friendly
attitude toward them on the part of'thfe National Labor
Relations Board, mere sets the final seal of judicial .con
firmation on what everybody already believed.
There can be 110 law or authority under the Constitu
tion which authorizes any person or body of people, Whe
ther employees or others, to take possession of someone
else's property and use or occupy it against the will of
the owner.
That an employer has a perfect right to discharge any
employee who participates in a sit-do>vn strike or en
gages in any other illegal act. such as using violence
to prevent those who desire to wofJ? from entering their
place of employment, is clearly settled bv the decision
of the High Court. And 110 employer can be compelled
to re-emuloy anybody discharged for such a reason.
There Tloubtless will be outcries against this ruling of
the court, by people who talk loudly about the superior
ity of what they term "human rights" over "propcgfcy
rights."
There has been an increasing amount of that "sort of
talk in the United States in recent years. How far it has
been inspired and stimulated by Communist workers, fol
lowing that group's policy of trying to plant revolution
ary ideas in people's minds, we have 110 way of knowing.
But the notion that there is something peculiarly sacred
about human rights whenever a controversy occurs be
tween workers and employers is Communist doctrine:
It is not American doctrine. The foundation of the
American system is, to be sure, the rights of individuals,
but foremost among those rights is the right to acquire
and possess property without interference so long as it
is honestly acquired. '
Far more of the police functions of government in
America are devoted to the protection of property rights
than to merely preventing citizens from suffering physic
al harm. The right of property is, it might well be said,
a primary essential right of human liberty. The Supreme
Court has once more gone on record in defense of that
eletnentary human right.
MEN WITH WINGS
Nobody knows how long ago men first tried to emulate
the birds, but the dream of flying must have come to many
in the earliest dawn of human consciousness.
Among the ancient legends that have come down from
the earliest times are mythical stories of men who de
vised artificial wings and flew with them. The Biblical
concept of angels as man-like beings with wings is almost
as old as human thought. The angels of ancient Scripture
are superior to earth-tied humans, for man, as we are
told, was created "a little lower than the angels." .
With the inauguration of the regular trans-Atlantic
flying service the climax lias been reached of man's age
old dream of flight.
JLn the words of the old hymn: "There, there, on eagle's
wings we soar." Those of us, that is, who are fortunate
enbugh and courageous enough to take the 18-hour pae
from New York to England in the great new "Yan
kee Clipper," the largest and finest passenger aircraft
ever built.
i Carrying 74 passengers and a crew of ten, there is
Jr I
' every reason to expert this great ship of the air to per
form as its designers and engineers expect it to. Much
; longer flights, and many of them have been made across
the- Pacific and are being made almost with the regular
ity of railroad schedules.
Hut the Pacific, as its name implies, is a much milder
stretch of water than the North Atlantic. Extraordinary
I precautious, we are told, have been taken to guard
against the unstable air conditions over the sea which
Englishmen still refer to as the "Western Ocean, ' '
though it is east of any point from which we in America
view... it.
Both American and British aviation companies are
ready to launch more cross-Atlantic Hying boats before
the coming Summer is over.
The new ships of the air are smaller than the Santa
Maria, the flagship of the little fleet in which Columbus
made the first trans-Atlantic crossing 436 years ago. But
he took. four months whereas the new "Yankee Clipper"
will literally enable its passengers to eat breakfast in
America and dine the same day ifl England. And that
seems to us to be something wonderful. -
POULTRY SUGGES
TIONS FOR APRIL
/
S?ai (he Koosit-r
As soon as you are through
hatching, sell all the male birds
| so as to produce infertile eggs.
, They keep fresh longer and hold
the flavor better if interfile. Few
er eggs spoil in hot weather, if
the egg supply is produced with
out males in the flock. Sell the
, males used this season and make
plans to replace them for another
year with pedigreed males from a
dependable breeder, or at least
wit-h males from a known reliable
source.
Don't sell out the flock, but
cull out instead.' Keep the birds
that are and have been laying
I heavy for many weeks as indicated
by worn feathers; plump, red
combs and wattles; bright, wide
awake eyes; bleacbed beak and
shanks, and a full, soft, flexible
abdomen free from hard lumps of
fat; the pelvic bones spread wide
apart- and four finger rapacity or
more between the keel bone and
pelvic boues. It is noticeable on
poultry markets that many farm
ers sell some of their best layers
and keep some of their poorest
layers in the spring because their
condition appears better in case of
poor layers, as a result" of less
work and low production. Eggs
will be getting scarcer within a
few more days and it will pay to
keep the best layers at least
through the summer, but remove
birds from the Hock as fast as
they quit laying or go into a molt;
Slow Down on Wet Masli
Since the days are getting long
enough for birds to consume
enough ijiash without stimulating
them, as is the case when a wet
mash is fed. it will pay to start?
cutting down on the amount given
jeach day until the practice is stop
ped entirely. This is the natural
season for heavy production with
out web mash. Therefore, if this
| stimulating' practice has not al
ready been discontinued, do so
:now\ and do not start it again
until about June when it will be
needed, as hot weather will cut
feed consumption at> that time,
and consequently result in lower
ed egg production.
Continue feeding a high quality
laying mash rather than trying to
economize with a cheaper mash be
cause eggB are cheaper. It is true
that reasonably good egg produc
tion can be secured with cheap
teed now, but/ if the birds are to
continue ? heavy production
throughout the spring and summer
and remain in good health, they
must have a good feed continu
ously. , -
? - Hints
1. Cup flats from egg cases ate
fine for chick feeders to teach
chicks to eat during the first two
or three days.
2. Use slanting j windows (in
side) in brooder House so as to
give chicks plenty of fresh air
without floor drafts, which cause
| chick* to crowd.
3. Do not over-heat chicks ? V
{keep room cool, but warm under
' hover.
4. If sexed pullet chicks are
purchased, remember that they
will need at least twice the amount
of house room by the time they
are 10 or 12 weeks old, since the
cockerels are usually sold off by
that time. t
