NEWS AND COMMENT
Bjr J. M. Fleming.
It is to be hoped JtuUre W. P. Sta
cy will survive the criticism he is re
ceiving from a few North Carolina
editors in regard to that young un
suing her daddy and collecting da
mages out of him because he hap
pened to have an automobile acci
dent. It may be due to our ignorance,
hut we agree exactly with Justice
Stacy.
That new law requiring all auto
mobile drivers to “Cross Crossings
Cautiously” will be observed only by
the law-abiding drivers. The others
may get their necks wrung out of
joint, but the surviving “happys” will
be unable to collect any damages out
of the railroads. We saw a driver a
few days ago try to run over a Coast
lone passenger train as it had almost
been brought to stop at the station.
The rairoad company ought to sue
that driver for criminal carelessness
ff not for damage. He evidently saw
the train. It was No. 54 from Colum
bia to Wilmington, and the place at
which the accident occured was
Whiteville. No one was hurt, how
ever.
It is oar wish that Judge Kerr
may succeed the late lamented
. Claude Kitchen as Representative
from his district.
We are glad Governor Morrison
commuted Clyde Montgomery’s sen
tence to life imprisonment instead of
electrocuting him.
We congratulate ^ Profs. J. R. j
Poole, county superintendent of
schools, and W. B. Crumpton, su-1
perintendent of the Lumberton city!
schools, on their re-election to their j
same old jobs. They are gfSbt fellows |
and we feel sure the cause will not!
suffer under their management.
The warm weather is welcomed. It J
is cause for thanksgiving to see the J
growing crops take on new life. This j
is absolutely essential to the tem
poral salvation of our people. But
there is a suffering element that ap
peals to our sympathy. It is that ele
ment who puts on about enough
clothes to make a tail for a kite. The
peaaiye sighs and the unworded ex
clamations are indeed pathetic. The
powder puff, the post card, the news
paper and anything else that may be
accessible is brought into use as a
fan. We can but hope for the best,
and that each dear one may pull
through.
j, And now Rev, Walter M. Gilmore,
pastor of tW first church at
Sanford, gives up his pastorate to be
come secretary of stewardship of the
Baptist State convention of North*
Carolina. Verily, there seems to be
no end to the appointftient of officers,
and all at fat salaries. Some at the
expense* oi the churches and the
others at the expense of the tax
payers.
Of course those at the head of af
fairs know better than we, but it
makes us sorry for our pulpits to
suffer the loss of such good preach
ers as Rev. G. T. Lumpkin, who is
appointed superintendent of a hos-1
pital, and Dr. J. W. Lynch to dry up
in a professor’s chair. But we much
the rather see them in these great
positions than for the devil to cateh'
them as he has recently done for one
of our good preachers in Columbus
county—Rev. A. C; Chafin, and a
Rev. Mr. Stroud in Duplin county.
The tax business ha3 become ac
ute. In Matt. 17:24-25 we find these
words: “Doth not your Master pay
tribute? He saith, yes." Dr. Henry
Van Dyke observes that Jesus paid
tribute to a government which He
neither loved nor approved, while Mr
Thoreau went to jail rather than pay,
* tax which he thought unjust. Of the
two examples, says Dr. Van Dyke,
*1 prefer the example of Christ.'” All j
of us should prefer His example. As1
he further states, “under democracy
r is unreasonable to refuse and dis
honest to evade, taxation.
We have received a great many
compliments on our recent write-up
in which we took occasion to rasp the
perpetrators of that Proctorville otj*
Tage. To our many friends we extend
thanks for their gracious words.
Now we have the greatest otea«ure
to be sure in commending the elass
of “23" of the Lumberton high
school for the skill dissaved in pro
ducing its recent splendid magazine,
“The Lumhee.” It would do crecU; to
a greet many schools of more mag
nificent proportions and to much
older heads Young gentlemen and
. "I ■ .. I, '
! ladies of the class, here goes thre
cheers and then some for your well
written, beautiful and unsurpassed
magazine. Your pictures are pretty.
They tell us it was in 1886 that the
first 25 gallons of Coca Cola syrup
was sold and it brought the huge aum
of $25.00. The folks paid **6.00 to
!get it advertised. Last year they paid
| twenty million dollars for advertis
ing alone. "A big business, isn’t it?
and no muscle and tissue builder ei
ther.
The toll of carelessness is heavy.
Insurance companies report i4 per
cent increase among the white policy
holders, and 21 per cent among the
colored for the first quartlr of 1928
in accidents over the corresponding
' period a year ago. But they tell us
! the world is getting better. Xf we
should ask Judge J. D. Harvey what
he has to say about it, he would very
likely say,, “yes,. I recently granted
212 divorces in Houston, Texas, in
243 minutes.” So, let us all toddle
along and tehave ourselves. Well
make friends by it if we gain nothing
else.

Card of Thanks
