This was a note ' left for John E. Daugherty. Craven county commissioner, by a party who Thursday night dynamited a dippin vat on his farm a few miles west of New It. me. This is the fifth vat to be destroyed in that section in this manner within the past week, and re ports have it that others have been destroyed in the lower part of the county. The Federal government, In con nection with the State Department of Agricu'tune, has been conducting a campaign for the extermination of the cattle tick and vats were provided I where cattle were dipped In a solu tion to destroy the ticks, which are 1 destructive to cattle. Some of the Craven county citzens objected to the law an 1 the lawless element have been destroying the dipping vats, just as lawless elemen in some sections of east Carolina have resist ed the enforcement o; t : 1 1- stock law.

Union county roads are famous for being mad and the autist nray get "stuck up" more often in Union I than in any other county, but if a fel 'low has to pet marooned is some mud hole, old Union county Is a good place for that to happen. For here the farmer pbdl..- lends a helping hand to get one out and does not charge a price Oat forces the poor autoist to paw n his auto to raise the 'money with which to pay out. This 1 cannot be said of every county. I Over a year aso when Esq. M. L. Flow and the editor and others were ; unearthing all the old witches, beliefs :and superstitions that had been here ! since hoop-skirts were the rage. I don't believe they said anything about the wart remover. Thev overlooked I such a character as Aunt Mary Co i burn, the champion wart remover of Union county, who claims to remove 1 warts, big or little, and cure inrura ! ble disease by faith. Aunt Mary is 'the old wrinkled black mammy, the I old slave type, w ho is the guardian jansel of the ladies' rest room in the court house here. She is the one who I puts the fretful babies left in her care ! to sleep by crooning to them some forgotten lullaby with which in days of long ago she soothed the fretful 1:1" "massa"' or "missy" She still re tains an inquisitive brain. She knows what is taking place around the coutt house all the time. If you want to see how she removes, as she rays she does, a wart, get a friend who hap pens to possess one and take him up to the courthouse to be treated. You will see Aunt Mary produce a string about ten inches long from some se cret compartment on her clothes, j With eyes that have looked rpon the South in slave time she will examine the wart from every angle. Then she takes her string, winds it around I the offending callous, with hands shaking with age and mumbling some stange jargon. She removes It and ties a knot in it. Again she rurrounds the wart with her string, still keeping up the strange, not understandable incantations. Ten times she does this, and then tells you to go away and pay no attention to the wart and It will disappear, but reminding you to return when it has departed for parts unknown and pay her. She re tains the string In her possession and what strange occult influences it un dergoes I have never been able to learn. Strange to relate, there are a number of people, and prominent ones too, who will testify to the fact that warts treated by Aunt Mary in this manner have gone away anil nev er returned. The Kaiser was badly fooled when he thought he could stir up race riots between the whites and negroes of North Carolina, as he attempted to do in the early days of the war. The negro realizes, or the leaders of the race at least, that this 13 just as much his war as ours. Witness the special services held by the colored people In the Methodist church here the other day to aid the 64 members of their race, who left for Camp Grant, and what heppened there. The various negro ministers offered them some good advice was endorsed by all of the race w ho heard It. When you en ter the service of Uncle Sam you are assured of a good home with plenty to eat and wear, and as long as you do your best and obey orders you will be well treated. Is the substance of what they told those who left. more acute, and for which no remedy was in sight The great agricultural Interests of the nation has had it donned into their ears for the past fifteen years, at least, that unless farming practices were revolutionized, and farmers be gan to produce more of the things necessary to sustain human life that dire calamity awaited us just a little further on. We heard these things so continu ously, and were virtually heedless of them, until we had about decided that somebody was trying to unduly med dle with our business unnecessarily. Then the world, all of a sudden, was lurched into the great caldron of boil ing blood, when lo and behold, we jump up and charge the whole catas trophe to some war lord or other. We are a people who invariably, or almost so, get the cart before the horse. We are quick to mistake ef fect for cause. We are mighty slow to recognize that effect follows cause but never precedes It. If the truth, that the war Is only the culmination of frivolrous unjust, and wholly unrighteous principles of International policies, ever dawns up on us, we will then realize that the outbreak is only the surgical opera tion necessary to let out the accumu lations of poisonous puss that has gathered In the monstrous carbuncle. It's a desperate ordeal through which we are passing, but there is no doubt in the minds of men who think that it's a necessary task. The world will be cleaner, health ier, and much more fit to live in for those who are here after the strug gle than it has been before, and men will realize that it is unsafe, further to practice policies likely to culmi nate in a like manner as we see the present practiceshave culminated. The school of experience will have gotten in its work, and since most of us will learn In no other, there will be a multitude of graduates ready and anxious to take charge and deat most justly. This is the brighter side of the picture, and is the one on which we should dwell mostly; yet we must not delude ourselves Into thinking that the darger side is all behind the cli max Is yet in front.

Coiltpondent Says War Didn't Bring I'ikmI I limine. To the Editor of The Journal: It is remarkable how prone the peo ple are to forget. We may be con fronted with the most serious problem anil be wrestling with it with might and 11:11 in. and ail of a sudden some ununial thing tak? place, then we are reativ to dron the whole matter of corrective effort; place the blame on the new happening and Immediately forget that we ever had any trouble before. This is exactlv what has happened with the world's inhabitants with ref erence to the war and the food prob lem. To be sure the war has has tened the DroEiess of the world fam ine that has been in sight for a num ber of year.-; but the war did not create the famine. Spveral vears before 1914. the food experts of the country were ex perimenting with cotton seed meal as a bread substitute. They even went so far as to make bread of this sub stance, put it on the market, pro claim Its wholesomeness and nutri tive value. Fully as far as five years prior to the war the great picking houses were warning the people of a meat shortage. They were even using an imal carcasses that were formally not believed fit for human food to supply a need which was becoming more ana Your S avings What are you doing with them? Are you let ting them dribble out, a little here and a little there, for things that will be of little if any benefit to you? Or are you keeping them intact so they may grow into a respectable sura that will count when you see the chance for a good investment?
