Moved! The Herman "pitcher" has "gene to the well" again. This European conflict is ac tually worse than baseball. Every dog has its day this must le the war dogs' holiday. If Hermans doesn't get Iters in this art'air, it will be another solar plexus for old general tit ness of things. I'oor Mexico! How she will manage to get along without our attention is a mystery to us, Imt we have just got to deride this European tmestion now. "We are in favor nf immediate mobilization of all watermelons of serviceable age." (ireensboro Daily News. Whatcher going to do to them, send 'em a Herman ultimatum? Our enterprising eon temporary, the Raleigh Evening Times, evidently appreciates the value of giving service to its patrons. . It has recently started a noon edition for the benefit of its sub scribers in the eastern part of the State. The Raleigh Times is the only afternoon daily that reaches this point in the after noon getting here 'on No. 1- at 3:00. P. M. Carrying the full Associated Press, and being a newspaper, instead of a political organ, we believe it will rill a long felt want in this section of the State. Came to our desk this Week the first issue of our new n i u 1 1 -bor, the Norlina Headhunt. Although a new paper, it is edit ed by an experienced newspaper man and one well known in this section, Mr. J.C. Hardy, former ly of the Warrenton Record arid the Scotland Neck Common wealth. Mr. Hardy is a clean, newsy sheet, well got ten up and attractively printed. The Headlight will unquestion ably prove a decided advantage for Norlina. Here's hoping suc cess for Mr. Hardy and his pa per. Our New Location society wedding, from the edi tori- o al page to the local and personal columns. To print the news he has to have help.i When you have visi tors, why nvt step to the tele phone and let us know, or mail us a card, if the telephone is not convenient. When you leave town for a trip or a vacation, don't leave it to the editor to "Sherlock Holmes" the thing out. He is too busy to do it, if he w ere callable. Many people will get irritated because the local paper fails to record their comings and goings and never once stop to think that it is their fault. We haven't time to patrol this community to get the news -help us out. State-Wide Primary The News has never yet held the opinion that the sovereign voters of any county or section of North Carolina are incompet ent to enjoy local self-government. We have always endeav ored consistently to oppose any restrictions whatever which would stille. or impair in the slightest degree the free exer cise of the right of the citizen to participate in the selection of otlirers. Wc hear much nowadays of "conservatives" and "progres sives." It is our opinion that a great many so-called "conserva tives" are of a great deal more value to the community in which they live than a great many so called "progressives." The "radical progressive" is a menace with his fantastic and wild schem es. The true "progressive" spirit, however, is becoming more Wrongly felt in all the states of the union. There is a growing disposition everywhere to lift the shackles of unjust restrictions awl render unto the people that which is really theirs the free right to exercise a voice in all the affairs of party and state. And nowhere is this sentiment more clearly snow n man in me movement for a legalized state wide primary. It is our belief that the best interests of North Carolina would be served by a -tale w ide primary for both par tus, to be held on the same day, and to atl'ect all elective otlices. Such a system will undoubtedly come and we do not believe the innovation is far removed. There can be abuses under the Does Advertising Pay ? Ihttin- doim In " brass taeki" Mr. Men-hunt.' .,...

Well, often one of the most common causes of worry is the lack of money often the lack of ONLY A FEW DOLLARS IN TIME OF NEED. This you CAN avoid. We know you would like to live as well as any cf your neigh bors and have luxuries that you may not now possess, but in the end you will be much happier if you deny yourself luxuries until you can really afford them. You pay dearly for pleasures bought with days of worry and sleepless nights. Live simply and save part of your income. You will be more respected and you will find that life contains many joys which you have not yet experienced.
