Fast Asleep The foreman of a construction gang was walking .along his section of the railway one day when he canje up on one of his "Dempsey" built laborers fast asleep in the shade of a great big oak.

So long as you sleep, ye've got a job, but when ye wake up ye're out of work." Approximately two-thirds of the present forest cut is lost In the pro cesses of conversion and through in efficient use. - ' .. Nineteen -persons have been elec trocuted during the administration of Governor Cameron Morriso'n. Seven teen have escaped death througjbl commutation of'" sentences. (By Joseph S. Hufham) Dear reader, if you have the pa tience to read this composition don't look at it from a poetical point of view; if you do you lose; for the composer hasn't even measured it; but has thrown it together roughly to outline a meditation meditated by all human nature A poor little boy once "trampled" the street, Scant clothes on his body, no shoes on his feet. His parents were dead and gone to their graves Where one lonely rose now silently waves. ) The poor little boy fell limp at the door, 1 1 is body was freezing, his joints were all sore. 1 ne man or mo mansion came rush ing outside His sympathy gone: 'twas devour ed by pride. Discovering the lad, with a sarcastic smile He uttered an oath not pleasant but vile: "You son of a wretched 1 What do eth thou here? My home's not for beggars." he pointed, "Now, there, You see that big street? Get out of my yard. My home's for the sane; so you may discard." The poor little boy cried and rub bed his c(51d feet. Then begged for a lodging and something to eat: "I'm hungry," cried he; "and mamma is dead. And papa is too. Please give me some bread." The wretched! old man no telling now how Produced from his wallet a "choke" for a cow, Then drew from the midst of his treasure untold, A pitiful dime for a hand that was cold. The poor little boy bowed reverently low, Said: "Thank you, kind sir. I guess I should go?" The groueher stood still and made no reply, But gave his consent by winking his eye. So the poor little boy tugged out in the street And down to an inn to get some thing to eat. He told his sad story to an inn-keeping man, Who answered with pity: "I'll help you. I can!" He took the poor boy and sent him to school Until he was stronger and able to rule; Imports of the fruit from the United States show that the British ; people are acquiring a liking for grapefruit.

WHITEVILLE 5 AND IOC STORE VINELAND, NORTH CAROLINA ISSUES AUTO SENSE COLD WEATHER TROUBLE Single and Double Barrel Guns at Attractive Prices (By Williamson in News & Observer) You can ruin a good engine quick ly if you do not know how to handle it when starting in cold weather. Never race the engine to warm it up. Do not speed it up until it has had time to loosen up the cold oil and get it in circulation. It doesn't do much good to cover up the radiator in cold weather if you park your car with its back to the 'wind. The cold wind is scooped up by the back end of the drip pan and the ventilators on the side of the hood. The quickest way to warm up a cold engine is to place a piece of paper over the front of the radiator and idle the engine writh a retarded spark for a minute or so. A heavy oil or grease known as "600-W; is used to lubricate the transmission and differential gears. This gets very thick in cold weather and makes gear shifting difficult un til it is broken up by the gears. A heavy engine1 oil will work better in winter weather, but you should never allow it to get low. Coal oil (kerosene) or a mixture of salt and water will keep your rad iator from freezing if it should run dry and you can not get denatured alcohol to mix with the fresh water. Never use either except in an. emerg ency and flush out the radiator at the end of the run, especially if you have used salt in it.
