There are a number of vital problems practically every one of them tied in with finance, to be settled. Where and how to gel the money and how to distribute it amonf the various departments and agencies are the real matters of discussion and importance. That Governor Hoey can and will fur nish the necessary leadership to handle thest matters in. a sane and sensible manner is recognized, net only here, but through North Carolina. Without veto power the of fice of governor, when occupied by an abl< man, exercises a great influence over th< legislature. Mr. Hoey’s advice will be re ceived carefully and even those who may op pose some parts of his program will give il respectful attention. While each and every matter will anc should be given debate there is little possi bility of any knock down, drag-out fight ii state affairs with the sort of a Governor tht state is to have during the next four years. CHILDISH PROTEST It would be difficult to conceive of any thing more naive than the protest which th< Ethiopian legation in London is prepared tx make to the League of Nations against Brit ish and French recognition of Italy’s con quest of Ethiopia. The protest is brough on by plans by France and Britain to estab lish consulates-general in Addis Ababa, botl admitting the move is to be made in an ef fort to improve relations between the tw< countries and Italy. The League bf Nations sat by whih Italy boldly swaggered in and took possessioi of Ethiopia; England and France sat by an< made dire threats against Italy for her agree ment but neither they, as members of th< • League, nor the league as a whole, did any thing about it. In fact, the League’s wink ihg "at Italy’s tactics in the Ethiopian fiel< has convinced the world, even that part o the’world which formerly had faith in it that it is a body incapable of performing th< high functions for which it was conceive* and brought into existence. And yet the Ethiopian legation threat ens to call on the League to make Englam and France behave when they indicate a will ingness to accept Ethiopia, not as Ethiopia but as an Italian colony. FREEDOM OF THE WHIP Columbus and Brunswick counties ii eastern Carolina are building up a reputatioi for themselves, but there are reputation good and reputations bad, and the state look: Askance at the Brunswick and Columbu county brand. The floggers are again abroad in thes< two counties where, only a few months ag, a dozen or more floggings were reported much ado was made over the reports, anc then the matter was allowed to die a shame faced death with no action taken against those who assumed the roles of arbitrators o morals. The most recent activities of th. floggers concerns the whipping of Willian Inman and Jesse Cox, both men of “gooc reputation,” because they claim the liberty oJ not attending church. This latest outrage comes perhaps, as s direct result of the section’s former, appar ently considerate, treatment of the flogginf eult. Men whose desire for authority is s< distorted as to prompt them to attempt t< dictate the morals and actions of their neigh bors by inflicting physical violence can be ex pected to continue to satisfy that desire as long as those really in authority close theii •yea to such an unsavory practice. Bad as flogging is, in itself, this last ie ported case is aggravated by the fact thal the floggers assume a pious mein. Aftei flogging their victims they knelt in “prayer.’ The next development in floggings, we pre sume, will be the singing of hymns by a rob •d and hooded choir, to the accompanimem of the snap of the lash. VALUE OF PROMINENCE Over in Burke county the other day Bruce Hildebran, referred to as a furnitur official, was facing the Superior Court 01 charges of manslaughter and hit-and-rui driving as the outgrowth of the death of 1 M. Branch, a carpenter. Branch was struc by an automobile aa he walked along th street.' He died from the injury and later, the prominent furniture manufacturer was charged with the crime. He did not stop at the time of the accident. When his case was called in court, it was announced that the defendant had already made settlement to the family of the victim by payment of $5,000, hence the charge was changed to assault with deadly weapon and this lesser offense being dismissed upon pay- i ment of court costs. Final disposition of the j case required only a few minutes. In the same court, however, three days were consumed in the trial of three Valdese youths for a $40 service station hold-up on Armistice day. Each drew a five year prison sentence. Rays the Greensboro News, “A service station hold-up involving $40 means an aggregate of 15 years in prison; a human life taken retrogresses to a mere assault with a deadly -weapon charge and court costs be cause of private and intermediary consider ation.” Prominence and wealth are valuable when one goes before a state court nowadays. Quite often we see defendants excused in Cleveland county because they have promi nence and friends to intercede in their be half, while the friendless suffer the full pen alty of the law. It is no wonder, therefore, that officers should become discouraged in the performance of their duty. Shattered confidence in state court justice is precipi tating a serious situation, one of the most alarming problems that confronts us today. Contrast justice in a state court where officials are elected by popular vote and the justice meted out in Federal courts where the . jurist is appointed. What Other Papers Say STUFFING THE TURRET (Philadelphia Record) Recalling the story of the man who deplored hav 1 ing two neckties because It Involved him constantly In 1 the problem of making a choice between them, we face the grave Issue of stuffing a Christmas turkey. How should the turkey be stuffed? In some families this question can be decided by l i-eferendum vote. In others, it is regularly settled by i ' a dictatorship from the kitchen, the question as to i ’ whether it be a Fascist or a Communist dictatorship . 1 depending entirely upon what kind of a family is 1 Involved. ' With this in mind, we are moved to consider very briefly a few of the choicer stuffings. For those who like a "wet stuffing,” nothing is more succulent than ' oysters. For those who like a stuffing not so wet, , ' chestnuts are indicated, and if there aren't enough i ' chestnuts they can be mixed with sweet potatoes, and a bit of sweet cream helps matters along. For those 1 | who like a "dry stuffing.” plain bread crumbs, plus ] ' thyme, sage and other spices. Aside from these three old standbys, however. 1 there are sources of gastronomic satisfaction in sails* age stuffing, particularly if the sausage is spicy. If a * majority of the family be fruit-minded, fruit can be 1 drafted'for stuffing purposes, opening a whole sphere 1 ! of palatable variety. Then there's a British stuffing— ‘ it almost makes the mouth water—which relies upon \ 1 sage and almonds. And if you’re a la creole-minded. . ’ just dump in a lot of rice, tomatoes, celery and pep- i pars. 1 Some day we in America will come to appreciate ' j the importance of the rite of stuffing the turkey. We . are. thank heaven, beginning to take food more ser- j iously and appreciatively. We are beginning to look ; at it a somewhat different light frdfea the gasoline i j that is poured Into the tank of a motor car “to make 1 it run.” - i And there is no feast like the Christmas feast, no j bird like the turkey (unless it be guinea hen) and no ' ’ no stuffing like—the stuffing you like.

T bundled up and went with a bunch of friends i to the final football game of the season. We arrived at the field In due course, one hour ahead of time. This earliness was occasioned by our . stinginess: we bought unreserved seats and had to f hurry to beat the other tight-wads there. i The local weather report immediately surround | ing our bleacher seats was as follows: Temperature 28.

But to make bad matters worse of out 20.000 seats, a fat drunk picked the one right in front of me. He would stand up and shake a 1-dollar bill at every per son he could catch the eye of, and he was betting on the wrong team iso far as I was concerned): his holler ing and yelling were distasteful. The booee he was drinking smelt very cheap, not over 75 cents a quart, but he had plenty of it: he nev . er offered to pass it around tho, and everybody half ; frozen! I never got to see over 2 of the good plays. I might as well have been outside of the field, be hind a tree or a house. The game finally ended, and the result suited my , sight-screen exactly.

Washington IE3 Daybook By PRESTON GROVER (Associated Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON.—The suggestion fom one critical but unquotable ource, that Secretary Hull had ichieved only enough at the Inter imerican conference to “save his ace,” Is quite at 'ariance with the 'lews of many of icial and semi )fficial estimates hat real peace progress has been nade.

Pulling the marines out of Nica •ague helped.

The prin cipal accomplishment there was the >eginning of a change of attitude. Instead of a Joint agreement to ceep guns and ammunitions away from those Latin American repub ics which set out to fight each >ther, the United States delegation lad to be satisfied at Buenc» Aires irlth further evidence that the lelghborly spirit was growing. The principal concrete accom plishment was an agreement among ;he republic to "consult" when war hreatens within the Americas, or vhen outside war threatens the velfare of an American nation. To a lay observer that seems quite ilim but diplomats insist that a big itep has been taken when nations tave a pre-arranged agreement to alk it over when war threatens. Without such a pre-arranged agree nent, the very act of calling an mergency Inter-American confer mce would lend added emphasis to my current war talk. • • * * Joint Responsibility Also to be taken into considers-1 ion was the fact that 14 of thej <atin American nations, including' J1 the bigger ones except Brazil, j re league members. Under league nachlnery the Latin republic may ang up with sanctions against a irayward brother they consider the ggressor. They did against Para uay recently. Under the United States neutrality proposal they vould have had to treat aggressor .nd defender alike. Important also in the view of riendly critics of HuTs efforts is he further recognition in the con ultative pact of a joint responsi bility of all American republics to urther the peace.

These sinuses open into the nasal cavity. Their function, that is, the uses they serve is not entirely clear. They do serve as resonators for the voice, giving to the sounds produced by the vocal cords pleas ant musical overtones. Possibly, too, they serve to strengthen its bony structures. The sinuses are lined with mu cous membrances which secrete a thin substance called mucus. In health this secretion is drained out ward, so that sinuses normally con tain nothing but air. When, how ever, the upper respiratory tract becomes Inflamed, as in a cold, the head sinuses are quite likely to be come involved. If the inflammation goes on to the pus stage, the sinus es usually share in it. As long as the sinuses drain free ly, the condition may be painful but the hazard is limited. If, however, in one way or another the outlets of the sinuses become blocked and the pus produced becomes dammed up, then the condition is equival ent to an abscess. At this stage the threatened consequences are men acing and radical attempts must be made to drain the infected sinus es either through their natural openings or by creating new and artificial ones. Of the different sinuses found in the head, only the frontal sinuses, nose and eyes are in a favorable those placed immediately above the or cheek bone sinuses and those further back in the nasal spaces do not drain so easily. Drainage from the sinuses may be readilyq interfered with. Such interference may be due to devia tion or curvature of the dividing middle wall of the nose (the sep tum >, to the overdevelopment or overgrowth (hypertrophy) of the bony shelves, the turbinates, to polyp growths and to congestion of the mucous membranes of the nose.

Saline nasal douch es, if carefully utilized, also prove useful. In the more serious forms of si nus inflammation, the efforts to fa cilitate drainage must be made by ft physician expert in dealing with such conditions. He can utilize heat in various forms and a variety of drugs to causes shrinkage of the mucous membranes of the nose. When such ta-eatments do not yield desirable results, It may become im perative to puncture the sinuses in order to withdraw the accumulated pus.

If you would move men to action and high endeavor, to what shall you appeal? To selfishness,, the cynic says. It takes many forms, whether It be self - preservation, recognit Ion, or just plain greed, but It Is always the same thing— man is Incurably selfish. But the cynic is short - sighted blind to facts of which the world is full. Self-inter-' est is a kind of mechanical force, Joseph Fort Newtoa potent. It is true; but not the rul ing motive of life at Its best. “All that man hath will he give for his life,” we are told; but again and again, in loyalty to some idea. in devotion to some nign impulse or Ideal, man will fling his life away, gladly. No, there is another force in hu man life, a force which Is like elec tricity in the physical world; a force which melts and fuses our lower powers, and overwhelms us with its sovereignyt. Call it religion, patriotism, ideal-] ism, love of God or truth—give it what name you will; there is a force which overcomes and drives out selfishness, and makes life a thing of splendor. It is not selfishness that enriches the annals of every people with the names of heroes and saints. It is not self-interest that on every page of history sheds a benign and bless ed light. It was not the love of self that made Buddha leave his palace to ponder the woe of the world, or made the Maid of Orleans lift the sword from the altar, and lead an ; army following a vision, j «It was not selfishness that chain ed Vincent de Paul to the bench of a galley, or sent Father Daimen I to serve the lepers, or inspired the saints of science to give their lives for humanity. Look around, and you will see common men and women, amid the care and wear of life, living by the glory of a whiter light that shines from sun or star—their lives a melody in a noisy street. Love is the master motive of life, and he who does not see it is blnid! TRVSTEE’S SALE By virtue of the power of sale contained in a deed of trust executed by W. H. Blanton and wife, Della H.
