* 1 ■ «- t.% TAR HEEL SCRAP BOOK BY -Jly La.-» Tinan.IcNiir. V I. .< Kentucky after two years experi mentation with the unpopular and un fair sales tax has got wise enough to chuck it overfloard. It is always a pleasure to see a mistake corrected. Bight wins out finally—as a principle but many individuals find their load too heavy to carry in the interim. ***** Representative Frank Hancock has apparently expressed the soundest views, yet, financially speaking. He says to his way of thinking there can be no “inflation” except when there is more money than there is goods to be bought—therefore no danger of in flation here. For everyone knows our problem has been too many goods— too many hungry—and too much money all tied up in the hands of a few who cannot possitly even want or need to use it. The masses need the gootds, but have no funds. Nomenclature Notes: Rev. M. Y. Self resides in Laurinburg. We read in one item, of a Mrs. Fold, and learn that Mr. Twifold resides in the east ern part of the state. The Rev. Dr. Jay Thomas Stocking was a native of New England. Pink Powers resides in Robeson county. Pigfort is a name, sometimes seen in Eastern Carolina. Homblow is another name not easily forgotten. Billy Blizzand lives in Colorado. j But would you ever imagined Maury Maverick to be the name of a Texas Representative. Gassaway, of Okla homa, however, seems appropriate enough to suit the most exacting monicker critic. 11 Ten Mile, Pink Hill, Moss Hill, Hang ing Dog and Wheat Swamp are place names in Tarheelia. Very good names, too. Certainly they are not so startling as some of the names one encounters in Texas—or in England. One thing I like about reading col-1 umnists—they so often give us actual news, with marked brevity and which is presented in such an interesting way that we do not forget it. I also j'filte tjiirf,swift tempo which is achieved tfytmany of the better ones. ■ , Just the other day in glancing ever Grace Gebbie Drayton was the creator of the Campbell Kids which were the joy of picture collecting tots for years—and which o!f course went very far toward popularizing Campbell’s soup. Except for the fact of having seen that line I am sure 1 would not have read the long write-up on Mrs. Dray ton in the N. Y. Herald Tribune., Dead of a heart attack at the age of 59— she was drawing the Pussycat Prin cebs strip for King Features Syndi cate. She also originated the Dolly Dimples and Hobtly Bounce strips. Children who have loved and preserv ed paper dolls treasured the Dolly Dingle cut-outf in Pictorial Review, and the clever bear cub series in St. Nicholas. In addition to her enormous activity as illustrator and popular ar tist she also found time to write and illustrate 17 books for children. Her creations are distinctive and to be re membered in the same manner that Rose O’Neill’s ixewpies are. The Tribune also carries a story ahbut the wife of a great-grandson of Daniel D. Tompkins, Governor of New York from 1807 to 1817 and Vice President o* the U S. under James Monroe. The deceased who had just imbibed a quart of rye tipped over a kettle of boiling meat and scalded herself fa tally, was interred in the Potter’s field. • * * * * Of course we have our Sco'ttsboro cases in the deep South, and we detail executions minutely on the front page in Tarheelia but I think we do not ever report deaths, or funerals in the manner noted above. Certainly an un flattering obituary for a descendent of one Vice-President. * * » * * A special tioard is to decide how to use the $250,000 which the late Oliver Wendell Holmes bequeathed the U. S. A. One suggestion is a special Holmes collection of books for the Congres sional Library. Holmes left 12,000 volumes to that library. Another sug gestion is the establishment of legal scholarships. Another is the sugges tion of a collection of paintings of former Supreme Court Justices. Ye Humble Scribe casts her straw vote of course for the scholarships— with the proviso that they not neces sarily Ua legal scholarships. There seems on over-supply of new legal talent und the bars are possibly step ped up a little to prevent lawyers be (Continued Ori 'Page Eight.) MEMORIAL SERVIGE HELD BY KIWANIS FOR- J. R. RIVES | The Kiwanis club met in an ethusi-1 aatic attendance at' the Wilrik Hotel ( Friday at 6:30 o’clock L. L. Thomas presented Joe' Brinn and Charlie , Rogers in an apple race stunt.

C. B. Culbreth paid higher tnbjute to Mr. Rives as a Chris tain Gentleman. Mr. CuALeth stated that Mr.Rives had aquired and won for himself a “ god name," a thing which is not easily won and which is with difficulty maintained. He stated that Mr. Rives was big enough, broad enough, loving and enerous enough to day School, Social, union or what not1 he was there lending his support and enthusiasm to every good movement. He looked upon it all as a prilvilege, having served for 40 years us a mem ber of the Board of Stewards and for many years as superintendent of his Sunday School. Mr. Culbreth closed ' his tribute l(/ quoting Kipling,s “If", of which he said he applied to the life of Mr. Reeves. President Pittman appointed Rev C. B. Culbreth, D. B. Teague and Dr. R. G. Sowers as a committee to write suitable resolutions on the death of Senator Rives. Dr. Foster stated that the program for February 21st would featue a talk on the Graham Plan of Athletics by D. B. Teague, and a debate; and the program for February 28th would Lb furnished by the Sanford Music I Club.

Recurring snows and heavy rains have simp’y prevented the hunting of either quail or rabbits with any degTee of success.

Some of the citizens of the town kept them alive by feeding them. The vanguard of red birds anu robins have arrived for the opening of spring. HOLT SUPPLY COMPANY HAS GOOD BUSINESS W. M.
