X. C. a* wcond data Bad matter. Tuesday week ie Primary day for Louisburg. The time to express your disapproval of your public officials is in the primary. The County Commissioners will meet Monday to con eider the Spring Hope road location again. ? If your choice ie not in the race for. town officer you If all the present Commissioners refuse re-election that have made that statement and no others come out Louisburg will not have a full Board the next two years. Conditions in Europe continues to be very much un settled. with both sides apparently afraid of the other, and there ie no telling what time tin- spark may touch off the bomb. Only two new entries have been made so tar as aspir ants to the position as Commissioner for the town of Louisburtr. These are Messrs. C. A. Ratrland and K. C. Be? k. two of Louisburg 's ino-t popular lot-iiies* m>-n. whose experience fully qualifies them for thi? ivsjmmim- : ble position. CONSIDER AMERICA FIRST In a world so filled with terror and coniusion a> has 1 been brought about by the steady advance of (jermany j and Italy toward 'ontrol of all Europe i' is hard for j Americans, so far removed from tin- center of world i events, to come to sound and sane conclusions a- to what ! the effect of the world disturbance i- likely to be upon , ourselves and our nation! A great variety of opinion a- to what we ought ?> do or ou^ht not to do, is being expressed by -tati-.-iiicn and near-statesmen, in and out of Washington. Our greatest danger is that the idea may take possesion of the help of the "friendly" nations of Europe if their se curity is threatened. There seems little doubt that a great deal of propa ganda, emanating from British and French source.-, i being set on foot in America to inriuenee public opinion. That is a dangerous thing. Just that sort of stimulated publir opinion got u- into the last great European war. We came ojit of it' "hold ing the bag." We sacrificed the live* of fifty or-ixty thousand young Americans to "-make the world ??fe for democracy," and hardly got even a ?'thank you" from the peoples and governments we were supposed to be saving. We lent them billions of dollar.-, not only for war purposes but for rehabilitation after the "war *^T?- over, and they haven't even paid us the Interest on the debt. And neither our efforts nor theirs made the world safe for democracy. There is a lot of tommyrot in all the talk aboul friend ship between nations. No nation haa any friends except those which want to get something out of the friendship for themselves. The essence of national interest i- and must be self interest. Before we even think of taking part in any war except in self-defense, we must consider our own interests first. Nobody else will consider them. THE FIFTH HORSEMAN In the Vision of Saint John the Divine,, which lie set down in the Book of Revelations, the inspired writer saw four horsemen. They were War, Famine, Pestilence and Death, the four great enemies of humankind. To those Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse former, President Hoover added a fifth in a sjjeech a short time ago. He referred to "intolerant ideologies" as being as great a menace to the people of the world as were those whom Saint John saw in his vision. Mr. Hoover was, of course, referring to the nationalistic spirit of the preBent-day dictatorships, and the insidious growth of their intolerant spirit throughout the world. Not since pestilence, in the form of the plague which we call influenza, came out of Manchuria in 1918 and swept the whole world at a cost of 2 5 million lives, has there been such an insidious and menacing enemy turn ed loose in the world. People can fight a foe whom they can see; nations can guard themselves against physical threats to their safe ty. But it is immensely more difficult to protect ideals, beliefs and principles against the onslaught of ideas. There is always the danger, especially in times of eco nomic distress, that great numbers of people will be de ceived into believing that the new idea is better than the old one, and that somehow they will fare better by dis carding the ancient beliefs in such things as freedom of thought, the rights of individuals as superior to those of the state, the privilege of religious liberty, the right to speak and preach one's opinions. It is against the insidious approach of the intolerant ideologies" of the dictatorships which now control so mnch of the civilized world that America needd to be on its guard, far more alertly than against the weapons of physical warfare, ?- , ; j ?

Bullock, Assistant Agricultur ist United States Department of Agriculture, Potash Is one of the, mosti important plant nutrients in the production of bright tobacco and the liberal use of it is highly desirable. Many of the plant nutrient deficiencies, which are so much in evidence, can be traced to insufficient Potash fertilization, the absence of Potash, according to these agronomists, produces a tobacco low in sugar content an<l in addition, results in physiological disorders such as the breaking down of the tissue, splotches an i blisters on the leaf. The leaves of the plant* hav the important task of actually as similating and absorbing the plant nutrients. Inasmuch as tobacco is t-rown for its leaves the danger of PotaSh hunger is evident.

If elected and it is neces-1 Siiry tluu I should vote on this, I shall certainly vote for same. This does not mean that I am in any way against Town ownership of the lieht plant. Instead I think :t would be foolish to sMl the plant us long as it pays a profit. I do not believe lower rates will' cut revenue. I say this because ji all instances where rates have. been cut by both large and small con-; panies. income has been increased. I a ill for the ntaintainance of the dirt sweets that have been so wonderfully improved under the work of W.P.A If possible 1 be lieve that the road bed of th se 1 streets should be surfaced vwi'h| tar and gravel. I would not -vote' for one cent of tax to do this, but believe that a part of the regular appropriation for street Improve ment could be used each year for this work which in time to com-' would mean considerable Having to tax payers in up-keep over ih*; cost of gravel road bed. I have lived the greater part 01 my life in Louisburg, so naturally the welfare of the people with whom I make my home will be my first consideration. If elected, I will work for wh?? I believe to be best for the Town and ite people. If you feel that you can suppor: me for this office, I assure you that your vote will be greatly ap preciated. ^ Respectfully. 4-14-2t. ROBERT C.
