THE BEAUFORT NEWS THURSDAY, APRIL 24, 1930 PAGE NINE i VISITING THE t r jt SICK Br THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Dean of Men, Univenity of T Illinois. It Is a very commendable habit, this visiting the sick, and one which, with all our modern equipment and :&v- care for those who are not well, is not so general ly found as It was fifty years ago or so. It Is not only commendable ; it Is In reality one of the human vir tues for which heaven is the promised reward. I was sick, and ye ministered unto me," was an act for which one is to ite rewarded with a heavenly Inher itance. And yet, some one could do jthe world a service and possibly make Ja fortune for himself if he could es .tabllsh a school for the purpose of 'teaching the Ignorant what is best to lo and to say, when visiting the sick, "not to speak of what were well not to say or do. Two young women were calling on Jacobs when I dropped In on him at the hospital not long ago. Jacobs had only recently couie from under the 'knife and must still have had a good ninny tender spots on his anatomy. ; The young women were all but sitting fon him as he lay in a helpless con dition, each one perched unconven tionally on the bed, smoking and hov ' erlng over him as If he were a curi osity of which they were trying to secure a closer view. Perhaps worn- en must smoke when the urge is on, even if by so doing they bring dis comfort to a helpless convalescent, but even the most Intimate relation ships do not warrant sitting on a friend who is just recovering from a serious operation. Sirs. Felton has Just been calling ,upon on Jlrs. Ford, who, poor woman, 'has been on her buck for months and is pretty near the end of her journey. . The two women are about the same ; age, the former husky, vigorous, and proud of the fact that she has never had a sick day In her life. She pro longs her call for an hour or so, ' when twenty minutes would have been ;more than adequate, and spends the time in telling how amazingly well (she is, how many herculean physical i tasks she has receatly performed, and ' ' how, if nothing unforeseen happens, ;she seems likely to live to be a hun I dred. Someway she does not sense the , fact that this flaunting of her exuber ant health in the face of a woman i who at best has only a few weeks of life before her, has not helped the i invalid the easier to bear her own pains and disappointments. Mrs. Iligglns knows what to do, when she comes Into a sickroom. "What a lovely room you have," she says to Mrs. Ford, as she enters the sick chamber. "If you must be sick and really you look better than you did when I was here before you certainly have a beautiful place to stay in. Everybody's asking about you. Sometimes I thiuk I'd be willing to be sick myself Just to find out how i many friends I had, Tind especially if I had as many as you have," She stays hardly ten minutes but she leaves the sick woman cheered, 'hopeful, happy in the thought that she may, after all, get well, and If ehe doesn't she is not going to be for gotten, for she will be leaving behind those who love her.

Without fuss or fury, without distasteful appeals for law and order, without personal cita tions, but in the order of things, Judge Nunn made his charge to the grand jury in a way that certainly gave the men that composed it the highest idea of their duty as it should be. Not wasting any time nor words, Judge Nunn in charging the grand jury first gave them a few of his own ideas as to how to improve the coun ty in which they lived, and then turn ing to the Constitution of North Carolina, he read therefrom certain portions of it that clearly defined what was law and what was crime. In as many words he dismissed them with the belief that they would serve their county and fellowmen with their whole hearts." From the Hert ford County News, ! Judge Nunn was appointed by the Governor and then nominated and elected by the Democratic party to fill the unexpired term of the late Judge Horton. In the Democratic primary next June he will be a can didate for renomination as Judge for a full tepn in the office. HOME COMMENT Judge Nunn, our own, has just com pitted a week's term of criminal court in his home county, and it has f been pleasing to note the splendid i service he is rendering to the judic iary of the State.

Jeter) Raleigh, April 21 With an out look increase of 8.6 percent in the acreage to corn this year over the United States as compared with last j year, corn will likely sell for a lower price this fall than usual. "But what of that?" asks W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State College. "It is likely that corn sold as grain will bring around 70 cents a bushel this fall. Last year the corn fed to hogs by 45 dem onstrators in North Carolina was sold for $1.50 a bushel. An increase in the corn crop of this State means that we shall have more of the grain available as hog feed. If it were not for the industrial depression hogs would be selling now for $12 a hun dred.

This means you will be subject to indictment by that body. We don't wish to report anyone but WE MUST UNDER THE LAW. Do not forget your POLL if you are 21 Please Do lot Force Us To Report You TAX SUPERVISOR between $10.50 and $10.85 and the person who breeds and feeds his hogs properly can make a good profit at this figure." The outlook for the future is bet ter, says Mr. Shay. There is a de crease of over 18 percent in thef toz en, dry salt and pickled pork now in storage compared with April 1, 1929. Then too the total number of hogs on the farms of the United States as of January 1, 1930 was between sev en and eight percent less than on the same date of 1929. Mr. Shay says he. doubts if any farmer in North Carolina can find a better source of income or one that will return more profit than good corn and good hogs properly handled. The man who has these and knows what to dow ith them, and then has a milk cow, a flock of hens, and a'i garden may enjoy one income in early fall, another next spring, have plenty to eat and few if any press ing debts to pay.
