MEMBER NORTH CAROLINA PRES3 ASSOCIATION
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1934
Mr. McNinch delivered an address last
week at the Universtiy of N. C, on the sub
ject of "Power Plans and Problems." Won
der how they would like to hear him discuss
that subject at Duke?
The News regrets that Mr. E. B. Jeffress has
not yet been able to resume his duties as Chair
man of the Highway Commission. It is nec
essary to have a head for this very important
department of the State government. Gov
ernor Ehringhaus has appointed Mr. Capus
Waynick, editor of the High Point Enterprise,
assistant chairman. So far as we know Mr.
Waynick has had no experience in road mat
ters but he is a conscientious worker and a
man of considerable ability. No doubt he will
fill the position satisfactorily.
Four men recently escaped from the crim
inal insane department of the State Hospital
at Raleigh. Three of them had escaped be
fore but were recaptured. Two of these men
had committed murder but escaped the chair
on the ground of insanity. Judge Sinclair
who tried one of the men said he had plenty
of sense and ought to be electrocuted. At
any rate these men have sense enough to es
cape unless they are closely watched.
The western "progressive" Senators who
want the Republican party reorganized near
er to their hearts' desire evidently mean they
want to take charge of it. For the past quar
ter of a century or more these men, or their
predecessors, have fought the Republican or
ganization. They represent a rather small
part of the popular vote of the party and if
they were to take charge of it would be a case
of the tail trying to wag the dog.
THE RAILROAD NEEDS
BEAUFORT'S BUSINESS
So far as we have heard there has been
no threat made by any responsible person to
do away with Beaufort's end of the railroad.
However it can be seen very readily that if
the Norfolk Southern should have to give up
the Atlantic and N. C. road that it will have
no need for the piece of road between Beau
fort and Morehead City. If the Norfolk
Southern succeeds in releasing the A. and N
C. road it does not seem likely that it would
hurt its own business by chopping off one of
its shipping points. And if some other cor
poration, or the State itself, should operate
the A. and N. C. railroad it would probably
continue the Beaufort link.
Fortunately Beaufort has both water and
rail transportation and of course the trucks
handle a great deal of freight. It would be
inconvenient to handle all the incoming and
outgoing freight here without railroad assist
ance but it might be possible to handle most
of it. If Beaufort should be deprived of rail
road facilities there certainly would be a big
increase in water and truck shipments to and
from here. It matters not who may operate
the A. and N. C. in the future the lessee had
better hold on to the Beaufort business. More
freight is shipped by rail in and out of Beau
fort than from any point between here and
New Bern. It would be very poor business
judgment to let that freight go to competitors.

Now that the Supreme Court has refused to recog

A funny thing about these people who risk their
lives going up into the stratosphere, or down for half
a mile or so into the depths of the dcean, not that it
means anything in particular, but most ofthem are

THE COMEBACK
Our grouch neighbor has a handsome new car, and
tvery time he gets it out he says he is taking the fi

A man made his final payment upon his home and
the realtor said, "Come in tomorrow and I' 11 give you
a deed for the place." He replied, "No I'd rather
Save a mortgage instead of a deed." "Do you under
stand the difference between a deed and a mortgage?
asked the realtor "Well, I know this much," explained
the home owner, "the last home I had, I had the deed
and theb ank had the mortgage, and they got the horns."
