STILL PINCH JIITTIN’
Once again this rookie has been
called to bat for the regular player
'cause the regular player has been
forced out of the game on account of
the flu. They tell me that stuff is
awful. I ain’t had it yet but maybe
my turn is coming.
WJIAT TO WRITE
To write this column, one must be
a bystander. Heck, since the bystand
er has been laying down. I ain't hard
ly had a chance to do any bystanding.
Course folks are still going on 'bout
their business, and everyone you sec
is in a news story of some kind. That's
a fact. Betcha any man you stop
anywhere you can get a story from
him of some description. Well I guess
von folks wish I would stop this stuff
I‘m trying to do and go out and see
:;omc of the folks that w,ould give me
a real story. Maybe I will.
GETTING TIIE STORY
Folks it ain't much chance of get
ting a story. The post office job
seekers are still on the job. Bill Cof
fin has at last got his signal equip
ment for the main drag. Cooley has
gone to Washington so not many folks
from here are journeying to Nash
ville. so you see it\s right hard to get
a story. Here’s something that ain’t
a story, it’s the truth. This Christ
mas time made me feel right good.
Got some Christmas cards, two I be
lieve. both of those from politicians
that will figure in election in a few
months* One of the fellas that’s
gonna figure in that didn’t send me
one. That’s all right. I’ll hit him for
a ten cent, cigar. He’d better come
across cause there’s six votes at my
house.
Well. I gotta stop, ain't wrote noth
in, but I’ve done what I hoped to do,
give the linotype operators homethmg
to work on while I tried to figure out
somekind of a head to fit some of
those stories that 1 have. Yours 'til

Forester Looking
To Fire Season
(Continued From Fag:** One.)
through organized counties in district.
No. 4 with headquarters ar New Bern
during the next several days, the De
partment of Conservation and De
velopment announced today.
Mr. McCormick on the trip will visit
Johnston, Wilson. Pitt, Lenior. Beau
fort, Greene. Wayne and Craven coun
ties. Tie will visit all forest fire tow
er sites and inspect all fire-fighting
equipment in the cooperating coun
ties. In each case hew ill be accom

plans for the most effective control
of fire.
One of the lightest forest fire sea

was of tremendous value to the fire
control activities; and he believes
that the protective organization has
reached its highest peak of efficiency
Another extremely valuable factor
in the State’s forest fire contral pro
gram. according to Mr. McCormick,
has been the work of the Civilian
Conservation Corps which has con
structed hundreds of miles of fire
lines and hundreds of brieges to make
the forests more accessible to fire
fighters and to check the spread of
flames. Considerable time has also

employe will be negligible).
The uproar whether a broad fed
eral housing pi naiss ocia.listic or not
will bring amused wonderment. (The
social duty of a government will be
considered obvious.)
Theo rdered production of crops as
well as manufactured goods will bo
accepted as a necessity.
A fundamental single tax for the
distribution of wealth probably will
be here—forced by economic exigen
cies of federal and state governments
as well as social pressure.
The money manipulations—the ef
forts to make one dollar seem two
or three dollars—will seem looney,
perhaps.
Crime prevention meetings will be
looked back upon as something much
further in the past than 1934-35—for
the essence of crime will be seen
then to be in the economic and social
depths (which will have been alle.
vated greatly).
The mass movements of the age,
the dictatorships, the organizations
based ond ivision through prejudice
or conquering through emotionalism
will seem unreal and frightsome.
The cry to preserve individual
rights, raised when monopolies and
exploiters resisted efforts at control,
will seem ironical.
Purely Vegetable Laxative
Thedford's Black-Draught is one of
the most popular laxatives sold today
because it is made of the leaves and
roots of medicinal plants, and because
it brings refreshing relief from con
stipation troubles.
“Black-Draught helped me when I
was bilious, constipated, feeling slug
gish, dizzy, or had a had taste in my
mouth.” writes Mrs. W. M. Bullock.
Waynesburg, Kv. “I haven’t found
any medicine I like better than Black-
Draught.”
It’s the favorite laxative of thou
sands of others. Have you tried it?
