James Jenkins Edltor-in-Chief Xam\v Parham Assistant Editor Taiiline Jenkins Typist S. M. Crowder Sponsors Maxine Taylor PROMPTNESS On of the most outstanding qualities of successful men and women, hoys and pills, is promptness. Today there is a growing tendency in the youth of out country to neglect the develop ment ol this most necessary trait of character. Many of the boys and girls <d our High School have beenso remiss in be ing prompt that putting off has be come a habit with them. They prob ably think, T'll do this tomorrow in many cases tomorrow never comes and put off work is never done. The old saying "Procrastination is the thief of time" is as true today as it ever was. for those who put off never realize what becomes of their time. When it is necessary to do a task ot pet form a duty it is much easier and much better for all parties con cerned if the task is performed at the proper time and in the proper way It is much easier to do a job as soon as we realize that it has to he done. Than it is to put it off and watch it become larger and more perplexing all the while. Promptness also involves the wax in which we move and the precision with which we act.. There is a great deal of difference in the hoy or girl who is always on time and always busy at something worth while and in the one who is often late and who does things in an indefinite and hap hazard sort of way. In fact the boy or girl xvho is not prompt usually does things in an indefinite and careless In the life of the average person there is little excuse for not being prompt. A great deal is lost; nothing gained and a splendid trait of char acter is undeveloped when wo fail to bt prompt.

Leslie Perry Memorial Lib rary in the past txvo weeks, they have probably noticed members of the Freshmen Class working very hard on something. What was it ? It was an essay on “Colonial Leaders of North Carolina.” All of the Class did not write this essav; only the pupils of Miss’ lEvelvn Biekley’s second and third period English classes were do ing it. The essay writing was sponsored by the D. A. R. of North Carolina and Mrs. I. W. Hughes is chairman in Henderson. The essays may not con tain over 2500 words and the time was ,up to the Revolutionary War. Miss Bickley has off ’red a prize to the • pupils having the best paper here and the best papers will he sent to Ra leigh. The person in North Carolina sending ilu* best paper to Raleigh will receive a i i ize of ten dollars. It is expected that the pupils of the Fresh man Class will have some good essays. SCOTT’S POEM BEING STUDIED Everyone knows that Sir Waltei Scott wrote some very fine pieces of literature. Or.e of his best is the "Lady of the Lake" The Freshman Class in English. taught by Miss Evelyn Bickley, has hen studying this poehi for. ; oral weeks but is about through xvini it now. It is wTittep- Inf such away that it is hard' for ;the pils to understand it, but Miss Bick ley explains so well that everyone enjoys it and most of the boys and girls are hoping that other similar writing- will come before long. • Appendages Editor: Ellard Yow DATE is SET FOR DRAMATIC CLUB ELIMINATION CONTEST The date ha sdefinitely been set for the Dramatic Club elimination contest for the evening of March 8 to he held at Rocky M< tnt at 8 o’clock.

Administration To Propose Increased Franchise Levies (Continued from Page One.) i v/ould probably boost collections by another SIOO,OOO. bringing the total of new revenue to $350,000. About sl,- 500,000 is r ow collected from domestic and foreign corporations under the present revenue act. Inclusion of restaurant, cleaning and pressing bills under the terms iof the sales tax law would bring in. according to estimates, about $500.- 000 more than the sales tax now adds to state revenues. Oddly enough, it was an anti-sales taxer, Representative Lumpkin, of Franklin, who first proposed the 25- j cent increase in the franchise levy. : Several weeks ago he offered an ! amendment to the revenue hill rais ing the $1.50 tax by 25 cents. It was adopted tentatively by the joint fi | r.ance committee only to be removed later. It is now understood that one of the prominent anti-sales taxers told Lumpkin at that time that he was “merely furnishing the tax group with ammunition.” Dr. Ralph McDonald, author of the tamed sales tax substitute plans, when asked what he thought of the promis ■ ed proposal by Senate Financ® Chair-' man Harriss Newman to increase Thr franchise rate, said, “It is a grandi loquent gesture on the part of the rCYPSY GlßUlffifcl WSfa. THE STORY OF AN IMPASSIONED wHiV 1 >*l—M Teaoer 0 E&as so- READ THE? FIRST: Consuelo, u beautiful gypsy girt xvho longs to dance with all the xvorld at her feet, is loved by tin Dummy, a deaf mute, and Marat She despises her mother, Anica, hut is fona of her father, Girtza. Mara . tempts Consuelo with a huge d,a inond and she agrees to marry him Just as Girtza notices Consuelo - ring, which she tells him she ho stolen, the sheriff appears. He pr< ceeds to haul the gypsies into com but Consuelo is no longer nearin' the ring When the judges wi'c and another woman search her, Con suelo fights them savagely. Mean time Marcu comes into the comt room and announces he bought, tin ring. The town jeweler is sum moiled and admits selling Marcu th> ring lor S 12.(10. When the merchant declares it isn't worth even a dollar, Consuelo is furious. (how go os wn ii run aronv) . CHAPTER 10 viTH \ LOOK of bewilderment, the sheriff unlocked tlie handcuffs. Mechanically Marcu rubbed his wrists and pocketed the ring. Mis face and arms were bleeding and he wiped them on his shirt. His dark eyes were upon the floor. His broad j shoulders drooped. The spirit seemed to have gone out of him for the mo- j rnent. The judge banged on the desk. "All right, you gypsies, you get the best of it this time. Now get out of here! If I ever catch the pack of you within the bounds of this town agvVn I’ll run you out in such away you won’t forget! Do you understand? Now get out of here as fast as you can, the whole damn tribe of you!” “We’ll do that all right," snarled Girtza and, taking the sobbing girl >ip in his arms, went down the aisle. Marcu followed and the two gyp sies picked up the wheel of the van. The crowd parted sullenly to let them pass. The outcome had not been to their liking and out of futile resentment someone kicked the wheel. It clattered to the floor and, as one of the men stooped to recover it. a booted foot kicked him. A laugh arose. The gypsy regained his balance and his hand went to his belt. Marcu sprang to his side. "Listen, fool,” he said in Romany, ’don’t start anything now! Get out of here before something more hap pens!” He turned his dark eyes on tire crowd. "Let this man alone!" For a minute they drew back. The txvo gypsies got the wheel down the steps and headed down the street, before Marcu turned arro gantly and followed after them. Some of the rowdies of the town began to whisper together. The words "tar and feathers” were re peated several times. The sheriff ap peared in the anteroom and the talk stopped. The men dispersed. The gypsies hurried down the street. Marcu caught up with Girtza, who still carried the girl in his arms. “We had better get out of here quick,” he said. “Yes, thanks to you!” Girtza growled. He called to the men to hasten with the wheel, but the wheel was cumbersome to roll and it slowed them down. As they approached the edge of town, one of the group of men who had been on the court house steps was lounging against a tree. ( “Where are you going?" "What is that to you?” Marcu re- 1 turned. “Don’t get so cocky,” sneered the 1 fellow, blocking the path. “I just want to know where you’re going, 1 that’s all.” ] Marcu saw one of the other vil- : lagers hurrying toward them. He J spoke to Girtza. “Get back to the camp as fast as I you can and get that wheel on. I'll ! delay this dog and catch up with you J later.” 1 “What’s that you’re saying to him?” the man demanded. j “My business!” Marcu faced him. i The gypsies disappeared on the i trail. The other man from town hur- 1 ried up. $ > "Why didn’t yon hold ’em?” he < asked.: i • ' ’ j ”6lb yah ? Let’s get ’em now. < Get out of the way!" he said to 1 Marcu. i Marcu’s fist crashed to the man’s i pro-sales tax group to make it appear that they are willing to tax corpora tions as well as the purchasers of common foods. No doubt but that they will attempt to tell the finance committee that the now franchise levy will bring in a million or so, but that is pure poppycock: it won’t do it. and they know it won’t. They are quite aware that the sales tax will raise more than their estimate. They are thus tryin gto fool the public into making them think that they are go ing to make every one pay to make up the anticipated $2,000,000 difference between theappropriatio n bill and the revenue bill as now written. All the while they realize that through the removal of the exemption of staple foods from the sales tax schedule that they are increasing the tax load of the common people by not less than 30 per cent.” Many observers here had thought that the pro-sales taxers would adopt the McDonald stock dividend tax in some form as a means of supplement ing State revenue so that school and ether appropriations might be increas ed. The statement by Senator New man that one of the proposals will be to increase iiaitchise taxes is taken as a definite indication that the pro sales taxers will not consider the di vidend tax. Senator Newman told the finance committee that the proposals “will be offered Monday (today) or Tuesday "• He made the statement during a hot committee debate on the question of reducing the sales tax levy to two per cent. The heated debate indicated clearly that the fight over the sales tax will wax very warm when the revenue bill reaches the floor of the lower house. Many members of the joint committee failed to vote for eith er the thre or two per cent levy.

Many predict that the revenue bill More than one town had run them out. jaw for ansxver. The fellow stag gered back Then the two sprang for him. A rough scuffle ensued, Marcu counting • the time it would take Girtza to get back to the wagon. Out of the corner of his eye he caught sight of four more men hur rying down the road, carrying some thing. His quick eyes took in the long poleMhat one held on his shoul der. Marcu’s lips drew together, hie eyes narrowed, his nostrils expanded, j He sprang back from the two and then closed in, sending one sprawl ing to the ground. As the other made for him, be drew bis knife from the belt. "Now keep back, white dog, or I run you through!” The fellow paused. His companion lay groaning on the ground. Then he saw the others coming toward them. “Hey, you guy,” he sheuted, “drop that and come on!” The cry was misunderstood. The four did not drop their burden. They increased their pace with the shout, "Hold him, we’re coming!” “You better put that knife away, gypsy! ” "Listen, dog,” sneered Marcu, **l can throw this knife fifty feet with out missing a hair. Now you stay where you are or I prove what I say!” The men were coming closer. He raised the knife threateningly and then darted toward the brush. He glanced back as he ran. They were coming after him. He turned from the cow path and pushed his way through the tangled willows as noiselessly as a panther. He could hear their shouts behind him. Panting and out of breath, he reached the camp. The axle cap of the wheel was being screwed in place. At his command the gypsies crowded into the wagons and were off. Wildly they raced across the clearing, plunged through the wil low's and forded the brook. Not once did they come within sight of the main road. The old wagons had been pulled across open country many a time and did not fail them now. And this running away was not new. More tban one town had run them out, shotgun or rifle bul lets kicking up the dust behind them. Hence they kept away from the main road and traveled fast, and it was well that they did. Back at the town the judge had no more than finished his lunch when he heard the story of the gyp sy fight. He cared very little for the bunch that brought the tale and fer vently hoped, that: the gypsies were out of his reach, for he wanted noth ing more to do with them. How ever, it was forced upon him, for later on in the afternoon his nap was disturbed by the insistent knock ing of the sheriff and Mr. Dakis [will be reported out of the committee |by the last of this week.

She told me I didn’t need glasses—that it was all in the mind!” “Come, come, what’s the master with you?" "The ring, the ring!” Dakis wrung his hands in dismay. "Well, you saw the rrng. didn’t you?” "Yes, yes, but mama had mine glasses!” The judge turned to the slievttf. “He told me the ring was real," George explained. “He couldn’t eee it very well and handed the gypsy a real ling Instead of a fake one He forgot that he put the real dia mond in the showcase for over the fair and it’s a darn shame. 1 knowed that ring was real all the time, but. my Lord, you’d think he’d knowed his own business.” Dakis again began exclaiming: “But I couldn’t see it, I told you. I couldn’t see it.

So it w’as that nothing was done about the ring. And Marcu carried it carelessly, little dreaming that the jeweler had made a mistake. What did it matter now, anyway?
