and
Whereas, the Atlantic Qrey
honnd Corporation has previously
exerted every effort to furnish

a satisfactory and convenient bus
service; and
Whereas, this Board Is of the
opinion tihat the Atlantic Grey
hound Corporation will .render
more adequate service to Louis
burg and Franklin County, and
will furnish bus service to Louis
burg from Raleigh, Wake Forest,
Youngsvllle, Franklinton, Ingle
side, Epsom and Henderson, and

sioners of the Town of Loulsburg
does hereby find (hat in its opin
ion the transportation offered by

tion will more adequately serve
the public necessity of the people

towns within Franklin County and
more of the important trade cen
ters outside the county to which
the people of Franklin County

service.
The Board therefore rescended
its former action and endorsed

RKV. MR. DAVIS REPLIES
Bro. M. H. Blood worths card in
the paper last week necessitates
a statement from me. On his way
to unite a couple in marriage he
came to our home and asked my
view as to his authority in the
matter, I said to him, you are not
an ordained minister and If the
marriage license authorlxes only
such to officiate in thati way I
do not think you should. However
go to the Registers office and see
how the license reads. In the
event it does read that way go
to Bro. Phillips and get him to
go with you and for him, Phillips,
to tie the knot and you to do all
else. Bro. Phillip did not go, but
told him that he thought under
our present discipline he as pas
ter In charge of work has author
ity to officiate In the rite of
matrimony ? and that he himself
under similar circumstances had
so officiated.
These two facts remain ? Bro
Bloodworth is not an ordained
minister ? the marriage license
still reads to any ordained minis
ter. Anything I may have said or
done in this matter was not with
any thought ot? embarrassing him
whom I will ever esteem highly or
restricting his privileges bub only
to shield him from any seeming
conflict with the letter of the law.

Bill Fenner May
Be Candidate
(By John G. Thomas)
Wilson, Jan. ?. ? Nobody in the
state knowa whether or not Bill
Fenner la coin* to run for the
1940 Tar Heel Qabenatorlal nom
ination but Bill Fenner, and in
the parlance of the movies. Bill
"ain't 'a talkln", but. be all this
as It may. Bill'* Iriends in East
ern Carolina as well as in other
parts ot the (bate are pressing
him to run for the position aud
pressing him hard.
In case Bill's Initials have slip
ped your mind they are "W. E.",
but In Rooky Mount the jovial
tobacconist and state representa
tive Is just? plain "Bill" and he
likes it.
The wiseacre# who are saying
that Fenner Isn't even thinking
of running in 1?40 may be fooled
even though Bill haa commented
only to friends from time to time
that he'll think about 10. For t?e
"Fenner for Governor" band
wagon is getting bigger and big
ger for the chairman of the house
Finance committee who helped
put over the largest money bill
the state has ever known.
In recenO weeks Bill's friends
have urgel him to take the step
they want him to. They pointed
out why they want him to do this
and have pledged him their whole
hearted support If he runs for the
governorship next year.
True, Bill hasn't sard yes or
no to these friends but with a
twinkle in his eyes he has simply
smiled and thanked them for their
Interest In hiB oailae. The one im
portant thing, however, that these
friends are thinking of la that Bill
Fenner hasn't Come right out and
said "no" to any of them.
There's one thing sure. If B'll
runs he'll be one of the most dis
tinctive candidates that have
showed up on the North Carolina
political scene in reoent years. For
he's a combination of a real farm
er and a good business man who
believes that every business, even
that of running Q?e state, should
be carried out a#a straight busl
ness proposition.
Always, active iB\ behalf of the
farmers ot this section and the
rest of North Carolina Fennel's
friends will tell you that he's un
qualifiedly for anything that- will
holp the welfare of agriculture.
And right here it might be said
that his record during three terms
In the state legislature shows
bhat he la, also, friendly to both
capital and labor.
Though Bill won't talk about
the possibility of his running for
governor or much of anything
connected with it, yet his friends
will and they'll point out, his
qualifications to you as they com
ment simply:
"Bill Fenner's got to rum for
governor. He's a good man for the
Job."
But Fenner's friends are just
like Bill will be if he runs for
the position of Governor of the
old North State. They won't and
don't have anything buti kind
words for everyone else and they
aren't arguing that he would or
should stack up with any kind of
faction, political or otherwise.
They feel, if he runs, that Fen
ner will run independently and
will simply be the "people's can
didate."
Bill's neither an ultra-conserv
atlve nor an ultra liberal, but, as
his friends put it, he is purely
a "middle of the road" man who
will stick to that faith if and
when he {una.
One of his beat friends. In talk
ing to this writer recently, sum
med Bill up In these words while
speaking of the Rocky Mounter's
possible candidacy:
"He's a square shooter and ab
solutely dependable."
As for Bill's being fitted for
the governorship of the state his
friends will point out a number

(The Mnthodifit Cliurcli)
(By M. H. Blood worth)
M. H. Bloodworth, until the
present time, pastor of the Louis
burs Circuit, wishes to express
his regrets to all bis friends that
he will no longer serve in this
county. The pains of leaving are
greater than he couid have sup
posed.
I entered the North Carolina
Conference in the beginning be
cause the bishop advised this,
there being no room in the Vir
ginia Conference, my home. Since
that time I have been asked to re
turn to the Virginia Conference,
there being an opening at present.
There it little likelihood of en
tering Virginia In the future un
less this chance is accepted.
In light of the fact that I bave
no assurHy of being returned to
| this Circuit next year and there
i being no way of knowing where
I might be sent, I feel justified,
andvljettpir concernfng my leav
ing unfttfr the present offer.
I can say, sincerely, that I be
lieve I shall never be more devot
ed to any charge than to this.
The memories of the fine people
in the county will linger always.
I have learned so much good from
these people.
I ask Ood's righest blessings
upon you all and hope you will
wish the same for me. I should
be glad to bear from any one who
would write. My address Is 42S

EUROPEAN
WAR NEWS
London, Jan. 10. ? The British
air force today bombed Germany's
Helgoland Bay bases in reprisal
for machine-gunning and bomb
ing attacks on merchant ships dur
ing the last 48 hours which sunk
at least seven ships and damaged
10 others.
The Air Ministry announced
that) Royal Air Force planes be
fore dawn bombed near the Is
land of Sylt, believed to be a main
base for German seaplanes laying,
mines and attacking merchant
shipping, and that either British
or German bombs had fallen On
nearby Danish territory.
One British plane was lost in
battling German planes during the
attack, the Air Ministry said in
contradiction of a German an
nouncement that three of nine
British bombers had been shot
down over Helgoland Bay early
this afternoon.
Tftp Air Ministry said one Ger
man Messerschmidt fighter was
seen to crash at sea and that an
other mti^e a forced landing in
Denmark while all but one of the
British planes returned safely.
(The German high command,
telling of German planes outnum
bered more than two to one, said
the three British planes shot
down were new Bristol-Blenheim
bombers.)
Meanwhile, planes presumed to
be German were sighted off the
Thames estuary, east of London,
and British fighting planes sped
out to sea while the fire of anti
aircraft guns was heard. The Brit
ish planes failed to make contact
witfc the raiders.
Many Planes
Danish dispatches said 40 or
more British and German planes
were involved in the air battles
around Sylt, which began in the
early morning and continued until
nearly darkness.
The British attack appeared to
be centered on Uindenburg Dam,
a narrow breakwater and road
way between German Jutland and
the Island of Sylt. All railroad
traffic over the dam was suspend
ed during the fighting.
From the Danish side of the
border anti-aircraft fire was heard
throughout the day until 4 p. m.
Two more British steamers were
added during the day to the toll of
j ships sunk by air attack off .the
British coasts.
The steamer Oak Grove of 1,
986 tons, Burvivor of two bomb
ing attacks during the Spanish
civil war, was sunk with a loss
of several lives, including the cap
tain and radio operator, when
two German planes bombed and
machine-gunned it in the North
Sea yesterday.
The 1,013-ton British stieamer
Up-mlnister also was bombed
from the air and sunk in the
North Sea yesterday with the pro
vable loss of three lives, including
the captain. Ten survivors, two
of whom were injured, were land
ed at East Coast port today and
told of being machine-gunned
by a Nazi plane while they were
rowing away from the sinking
ship in lifeboats.
With Finnish Northeastern
Army, Near Russian Frontier,
Jan. 10. ? Finnish troops in three
main battles on the Suomusalml
(ronti during the last 18 days
hare almost destroyed a Soviet
army corps of about 50,000 men
and have crossed the Russian
frontier In pursuit of remnants
tof three smashed divisions of the
Red Army, I was advised on ar
riving here today.
In the trip across the battile
flelds from Suomusalml t6 Raate,
I saw how complete the Finnish
victory had been, not only In the
defeat of the Russian 44th divi
sion, but also of parts of the 164th
division after earlier destruction
of the 163rd division.
On the battlefield I saw the
bodies of thousands of men and
horse* frozen atop the snow; war
equipment, including 10-ton tanks
abandoned so hastily that it (till
cluttered the roadway for four
miles; bark 'gnawed from trees
by starving horses; and the bar
ricades by which Ohe Finns had
blocked both the retreat of the
trapped Russians and the Advance
of reinforcements which tihe Bed
Army had on the border.
It was evident that the Finnish
command had mapped out its
plans carefully and carried thorn
out with destructive precision.
Lack of supplies, especially food
for troops and horses, and tihe
bitter cold had prevented the Rus
sians from making even the sem
blance of an adequate defense."
"We couldn't see them." one
Russian prisoner said of the final
battle. "I saw one after another

I LOUISBURG BAFTIST
CHURCH
On Sunday morning the pastor.
Dr. A. Paul Bagby began a series
of sermons on "The Journey of
Life". The sermon itself dealt
with the journey. He quoted of
Abraham, "And he went out not
knowing whether he went. By
faith he sojourned." Hebrews H:
8-10.
- The scripture divides itself in
to two parts: by faith he went
and by faith he sojourned. Both
movement and rest should be root
ed in faith. We can nob stand (1111,
we must- move. Life haa the call
of God in it to more out! Abra
ham moved out of Ur of Chaldees
? a moving out and away from
false creeds and false ~ pratlcea.
Christians today are called to
move out of the clutch of some
of their false pratlcea and soma
of their false beliefs. Life lived
in 1940 as It was lived it) 1939
would be a failure. There are
deeds that need to be laid aside
that individuals may go forward.
And stagnant* theology is never
to be desired.
Abraham know not whither
he went. Today we have a de
finate Ideal ? perfection. Abraham
as he lived in Haran faced sorrow.
When the props were knocked out
he moved on into Canaan. He so
journed there, for it Is said that
he lived in tabernacles. Canaan
was not his home. He was mere
ly sojourning, "for he looked for
a city which hath foundations,
whose builder and maker is God".
Morning worship at eleven
o'clock with the pastor preaching
the second sermon In the series
on "Journey of Life" which is en
titled "Side Trips and Detours".
Evening worship begins at 7:00
and tihe pastor is preaching on
"Whom'1' Does the Lord Stand
By?"
Even though Russia and Ger
many have a pact, with two men
like Stalin and Hitler at the head
of affairs of t/helr respective conn- -
tries each had better keep their
weather eye open. Neither of them. /
ever kept a pledge yet and neither
of them ever hesitate on the means
used to accomplish what tthey
want.

but? there's been a mistake here.
We've got your hair down as dark

After this battle, the Finns
were reported to have crossed the
frontier in pursuit of the remn
ants of the Russian Infantry. The
military dispatches did not reveal
the strength of the Finnish units
that had crossed the frontier or
at what points they crossed. The
