LOUISBURG'S greatest need is a regular and sub- 1 stantial pay roll. oOo LETS observe July 4th, but in a sane and safe man- 1 ner that will not bring sorrow. oOo BATTERY "B" made quite a nice showing in the I American Legion Parade in Raleigh. Congratulations j to the boys. oOo MEXICO 9eems to be right much troubled over Con gress' action toward the purchase of silver. But she is | not much conscious stricken for taking American prop erty and business away from its owners.. "The cat | comes back sometimes." oOo IT would be a good idea for Louisburg and the State | Highway Department to agree on parking regulations for Main Street and have the local officers begin the en- 1 forcement of these regulations so the public will be pret ty well educated to them by the time Route 59 is com pleted. Something is going to have to be done and it may be best not to try to do it all at once. oOo THE Coroner of Cartaret County is to be congratu- 1 lated for having placed the responsibility for the death of five Raleigh people whose car ran off a ferry dock at Gloucester Sunday, on the Highway Department, who operates the ferry, for not having placed a warning of some kind at this dock for the protection of the public. For a little time and a few dollars invested in a block ade or some other warning would have saved the lives of these people. oOo THERE seeins to be a discrepancy!; in the method used in taking up drivers licenses, when a' defendants order ed not to drive a car for any set period It occurs to us this should be done by the Court at the time of the final conviction, instead of by the Highway Patrolmen upon the conviction of a person in which such a punishment is imposed. When done by the Courts there would not be ? the injustice and confusion of taking up a license when the defendant appeals, as is attempted in so many cases under the present method. To take a license before the disposition" of Sn~~appeal is plainly a case of punishing one before he is properly adjudged guilty. ? 0O0 QUITE a little interest has been stirred in Washing ton City the past week when Congress failed to support the President's power to devalue the dollar. President Boosevelt told Congress it would undermine National de fense and return control over money to Wall Street and international bankers if it refused to continue his power -.to devalue the dollar. This is a big question and is little understood by the fellow not familiar with high finance. It seems to the little fellow that the quantity of money has not been increased in keeping with our growing pop ulation, and it doesn't seem that the devaluation has in creased the supply of cash in the smaller communities. It looks to us, without the expert knowle?ige of high fi nancing, that the th-ing that would help this country mo^ from a money standpoint would be<*the entire elimina tion of tax exempt securities and property. This action "would of its own influence stop hoarding money in tax free property and securities and turn it back into local chknnels for business use. 0O0 WHEN ALL BENEFIT WE'VE all heard of the benefits that agricultural mar keting cooperation has brought the farmer? fairer prices, more stable markets, etc. And the fact shouldn't be lost sight of that this kind of business-like cooperation serves the consumer as well. For example, it assures the city-dweller of a constant, certain supply of high quality farm products. And mar keting cooperation, by tending to increase the farmer's cash income, broadens the rural market for urban-manu factured goods. ? , A sound plan that helps one large group of Americans, heTpS other groups as well. And agricultural marketing cooperation is no exception to that rule. - oOO ; HAVE THEY FORGOTTEN? What, by the way, hk^ha^penetTto^ie proposed Wag ner Act revision that was sup^s?d^to be considered by this Congress? , Have the lawmakers forgotten that standard polls in dicate thinking citizens feel that unsound labor laws are a major handicap to recovery t i Have they forgotten that the Wagner Act, conceived and Advocated as an instrument of industrial peace, has paused a record amount of industrial warfare T * Have they forgotten that the honest laboring man and the honest union are ultimately the worst-sufferers from jaws that encourage labor racketeering 1 \ Coroner Says State Responsible Beaufort ? Coroner George Gill charged Monday that the State Highway Department was respon sible (or the drowning of five Ral eigh resident!, who lost their lives when their automobile ran off a Core Sound ferry dock here Sun day. Gill said he would report to Car teret' County authorities that "the tragedy resulted from negligence on the part of North Carolina State Highway Department which maintains the ferry slip and oper ataes the ferry from Gloucester to Harker's Island, the negligence being t'hat no barricade was on the approach to the slip and no red lights to warn motorists traveling at night that the slip was there." The coroner, after an Investiga tion, decided an inquest was noti necessary. He exonerated the dri ver of the automobile. Three Escaped The driver, W. C. Walker, his son, W. C. Walker, Jr., and Miss Dorothea Lee Hales, also in the car, escaped death. Those drowned were Mr. and Mrs. Seba Hales, their daughter, Mrs. W. C. Walker, and two child ren of the Walkers, Fay and Peg gy. The body of Faye, an infant, was recovered early Monday. The bodies of the other victims were recovered shortly after the acci dent. Funeral services for the victims were held in Raleigh Tuesday af ternoon at 4 o'clock from Central Methodist Church. The Rev. E. G. Overton, pastor, officiated. The party had been to Marshall berg on a fishing trip and was en route back to Raleigh when the accident occurred about 8:30. Walker said he thought he was driving on Route 70 and mistook the ferry for the North River bridge. The car went into 14 feet of water. Miss Hales and W.inton Walker, Jr., both suffering from shock and exposure, .were rushed to the Morehead City hospital for treat ment. ^ Walker remained at the scene to assist in recovering the bodies of his wife, parents-in-law and two children. Coast Guardsmen from the Fort Macon Station were summoned to assist in t-he search. mmmm ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? I Bishop William Brown of Virginia to Open Roanoke Island Celebration Manteo, N. C.? The Bt.

TERMITES DESTROY VALUABLE PROPERTY Increasing destruction of pro perty by termites in this and other sections of the country is being reported, and some data on the na ture and activity of the insect it given in excerpts from a bulletin of the U. S. Department of Agri culture, which follow: Termites or white ants, are de stouctive native Jnsects, of which 42 species occur in the United States, mostly in the southern and western states. The so-called white ants are 'not true ants, although they are superficially antlike and live in colonies both wingless and winged mature individuals are produced very rapidly. There are three stages in the life of the white ant: the egg, the immature form and the mature individual. The last named are very numerous and are the ones thati cut and bore into al! forms' of wood work. If one will look very carefully | at the under wood-work of his house and finds small holes in the! Wood about the size of the lead in | a lead pencil, around which often there is to be reiund very fine meal-like, nearly white dust, he may be sure the /termite is at work on his house, tpnd will in a relatively short' time "weaken the si'ls and sleepers to the degree that the house will begin to sag in places, and doors drag or stick in places. When this is true, sills are in bad shape. The damage does not show so much on outside as these ants go in and cut the woodwork from within. Years ago t'hey were found mostly in the forest in decaying stumps and logs, but with the clearing of the forest (their na- 1 tural breeding., places) they havej taken to bouses. They particularly] like the house that- has been wall- J But It's True ! ???!!? 4Lrf<' i ?Httator ' ^ tarn utrnm OM J MUM <HMt MO. ? <%e ?hmwowm'1' MaHf ttmuri OHMtMO km 7H? ptsnm* *1 *0 MCOrtt* KMT M ltil~ +TTM* **r mi ?*>m rm i+nm flo*f Of A 3JUO**, u*ou> ?w PMVMttr. mi m mm [ \ / " ' V -rut petsitrt ?

Unhnrt, he was able to go home unassisted, credited his lark to making rare thai lie landed on his bands, let his body slip slowly to tbc ground, ricking chair fashion ed up, where there is a dark damp place with but little draft of air. In such places they build colonies in the ground and proceed by I small tunnels constructed from the damp dirt up into t'he wood; work. It is claimed t}iat more than two-thirds of the houses in all this section of North Carolina are badly infected with tl^se ants, and some have had to replace sills at considerable cost. They are al most sure to be in houses where the floor is near the ground. In Bulletin No. 1472, from which much of the above is taken, of the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., specific direc tions are for the prevention of t'he termites, as well as the extermi nation of them after they have at tacked a house. All contractors are alvised to thoroughly treat all sills and sleepers and the sub floors while building the house. This prevents them from entering the bouse. In this bulletin is ad vice as to how and with what so lution to treat a house aft?r ter mites have started their destruc tive boring. When they are once in wood work, they are very dif ficult to exterminate but if it is not done they will destroy the house, it is stated.
