E. B. Barkley The recording of the passing of E. B. Barkley is an occasion of widespread sorrow to the people of North Wilkes- boro and Wilkes County. As Henry Reynolds stated in the well written obituary of Mr. Barkley, he was a pioneer citizen of this city, the list of which is rapidly diminishing by the passing years and the call to eternity, one by one, of the men who have first hand knowledge of the growth and progress of North Wilkesboro. Until his health became too feeble for him to leave his room “Judge" Barkley, as he was affectionately call ed, was a familiar figure on the streets and one who invariably had a pleasant greeting for his fellow men. E. B. Barkley’.'s pleasant personality was backed up by a life of useful ac tivity, as shown by the fact that he held such offices of public trust as mayor of North Wilkesboro, postmaster, and for several years was secretary of the coun ty board of elections. Doughton On Taxation Representative R. L. Doughton, in an address before the Kiwanis Club here Friday, gave some facts that tends to show light on why drafting of federal revenue bille is done .so efficiently and without so much “hullabaloo” as com pared with taxation levies in North Carolina. “Farmer Bob” Doughtonls w’ay.s and means committee, which is designated to find revenue for the nation’s enor mous expenditures, gets together in va cation time when congre.ss is not in .ses- sign and drafts tax laws to be consider ed and passed in the coming session of the national body of law makers. By this proceedure the committee does its important work without an endless stream of lobbists wanting to “soak” the other fellow for ta.xes. Compare this method with what hap pened in the North Carolina legislatm-e during the last session. The rulings fac tion of the legislature had pledged re moval of the 15-cent advalorem taxes on property for the support of schools and had also indicated that a sales tax was an abomination to the people of the commonwealth and the state itself. The assembly had to find revenue to operate the schools and the other func tions of government and in so doing lobbists appeared from every nook and corner of the state. Reports from Ra- . lolgh indicated that farmers from the eastern part of the state, more es pecially, pleaded for the sales tax in ^preference to the advalorem tax. Cor porations were represented by their highly paid attorneys wanting less tax es and protesting against any increases. As a result of this situation the tax levying body was in a turmoil and tax- were finally levied that has caused dissatisfaction from several eonrees. - The system of taxation can never be > p«iect, perhaps, hut if a committee gneh' as Representative Doughton is Chairman of in the national congress ■ would study taxation as they study it, more satisfactory system of taxation eottld be worked out. Some schools in the county are in session and the remaind^ will begin on August 29. This means that another session of study is provided children as preparation for future citizenship. Children should be taught the Mcred‘ duty they should perform in the schpols. The importance of study'and character .building should be drilled into the minds of^the children by their parents. The children are apt to look upon school as something to be shunned or as plajrtime unless their minds are di verted by careful instructions from their parents. They should be taught to realize that schools are provided at an enormous expense by the people of the state. Their attention should be called to the fact that those extra pennies their par ents are required to “shell out” when buying necessities of life go for the maintenance of schools. Perhaps they could better realize the sacrifice behind the school system if you were to tell them that a poor widow buying a dime’s worth of food must hunt up another penny to pay as tax, which goes to run the schools. Schools are a great opportunity. Make an effort to teach your child this important truth. Another Victory Only a few days ago federal officers bunted down and killed John Dillinger, archenemy of the law. The news mad'^ big headlines in practically all the newspapers of the nation. Federal officers made the capture of Everett Wiles, an outlaw from Wilkes county. Wiles did not operate his crim inal machinations in such a widespread area but he was a dangerous character, if federal agents operating out of Char lotte are to be believed. The arrest of Wiles, outlawed for the murder of an officer of this county two years ago, is another example of the strong arm of the law and more espec ially the effectiveness of the strength ened force of the United States depart ment of justice. All of which lead us to again call at tention to the need of a strong force of well trained men organized in such a manner as is the world famous “Scot land Yard,” of England. Wiles is facing enough charges to keep him isolated from society the re mainder of hLs days. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN \MO.S 1>LK.\I).S IX)R .TUSTICK Lesson for August 12th. Amos 5 and 7. Golden Te.\t: Romans 1.2:10.. In 760 B. C., vvith .Teroboam the Second as king in the north, there was tumultuous revel ry in Bethel where Israel now gathered for ex cited worship. Never had she been more eager to celebrate, for Syria, her worst enemy, had been badly defeated, and the good old times of David were restored. Rut in the midst of the jubilation a rude, fiery figure appeared. He was Amos, the herds man of Tekoa, a small town in the south near Bethlehem. ’In melancholy tones he exposed the sin of God’s people, and predicted their overthrow and punishment. Naturally the people were astounded. “How can we. an invincible nation, suffer defeat?” they cried. And especially angered were they when this unwelcome visitor shouted that God Himself would bring them into reproach. What blasphemy! No wonder Amaziah the prjpst told Amos to return to Judah and prophesy there. And our herdsman was forced to obey. Now there are three major emphases in Amos’ teaching. First of all he proclaimed an impartial, international God. The Lord, he in sisted, will punish the sinners in Judah and Israel just as relentlessly as those in Damas cus and Moab. Secondly, he sensed the peril of an external emphasis. “I hate, I despise your feast days” was the message the Eternal placed in his mouth. But most important of all, Amos was an un compromising champion of justice. “Let jus tice roll down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.” How modern! We desper ately need peace today. But more fundamental is the need of a square deal for the disinherit ed masses. We need also charity, for millions depend upon philanthropy. But most of all we need fair play, so that the wealth ot all may be at the disposal of all. Other nations regard Finland’s example as being interesting, but not conservative.— Louisville ’Times.

They flagged McLaurln’s car, thinking he was a white man, and he stopped and took them into the car. At a filling station, when they saw the driver was a negro, they started to get out, hut he assured them that he was a texlcab driv er and promised to take them 18 miles farther. On nearing Aberdeen he turn ed off at the negro cemetery and forced them out of the car at the point of a pistol, using abusive language, and committed e. crim inal assault on the older girl, Mary Elizabeth. Then he com pelled them to get into the car again and drove down the Laur- inburg road about four miles from Aberdeen and again as saulted .the older girl, who fought and screamed, all to no avail. Her sister ran out In the road and tried to stop several passing cars and with a piece of wire scratched down the license num ber of the negro’s car. After accomplishing his pur pose the negro brought the girls near Aberdeen, and after many threats to kill them if they told, he put them out. The girls found Night Police man A. F. Deese, who with a posse of men went in search of the man and found him hiding in the swamp near the scene of the crime. After being placed in jail he confessed to the crime, giving as his excuse he must have been crazy. Glacier National Park. Mom Auf.
