campaign. Vet no --.ere in it did

of course, a political speech, inn
it was non-partisan. This wt
especially the case with the two
passages f it ’ 'dc :

Coolidge feels with all his fel
low-countrymen a depressing
sense of humiliation at tiie in
stances of gros betrayal of pub
lic trust that have been dis
closed. He also blazes at them
with righteous wrath. And he
reads his official duty to be “im
mediate. adequate, unshrinking
prosecution, criminal and civil,
to punish the guilty." To that he
pledges himself absolutely. Poli
tics and partisanship he rule
out with scorn. A Republican
himself, he will shield no man
simply because he is a Republi
can; nor will he prosecute any.j

V\ ho Opposes
Tax Reduction?
Secretary of the Treasury
seems to be a porcupine
‘"r a curacy when it comes to
iletending his tax reduction
Jfiuvs. He leaves no poinc of at
ack. He answers his critics at
every turn, not with abuse, hot
aii or evasion, but with plain
'latements and figures which
even a school boy can under
stand.
1 he opposition to Mr. Mellon's
:a.\ reduction program comes not
from the people, but from the
professional politicians who con
t nue to harp along the old de
magogic lines of taxing wealth.
Mellon calmly shows that after
you have taxed wealth out of
\i-tence, the burden of govern
ment falls with a double force
upon the small taxpayer who
uas to make up losses which the
uvestor who refuses to utilize
i-s money in productive indus
-ry. would under a lower tax
yxtem be paying.
il the politicians block the tax
eduction measure, they will
iave robbed the people of over
100.000,000 for 192-1.
FARM NOTES FOR
HALIFAX COUNTY
a, W. C. DAVIS, Count, Agent
Welt.on, N. C’
Several farmers in Halifax
'ounty have found that sheep
ell managed are very profita
le, especially when early spring
•mbs are produced. A few sheep
long with carpet grass and
espedeza on the uncultivated
ambs are produced. A few sheep
iit to help meet the boll weevil.
It is time now to place your or
der for carpet grass and
lespedeza seed. We are
making up an order
for this end of the county and if
you want to start a pasture see
or write me for more informa
tion. If you are also interested
in learning more about sheep at
tend the sheep meeting on Mr. i
Temple's farm at Norfleet on j
March 5th. There you will see j
how Mr. Temple is making
money out of sheep and hear him |
tell about it. Specialist in sheep
raising will also be there, to
talk.
Some time in the next four
weeks Mr. Sams, Specialist in
Bee-Keeping will be in this coun
ty. We would like to get in touch
with parties keeping bees who
are interested and would like to
get help in this work.
It looks now as if there will be
a shortage of cow peas and soy
beans for planting purposes this
summer. If you intend buying
it would be well to buy your seed
now and store them away until
planting time. You will not only
be sure to have them but you
will also save money by buying
now.
-i
We are expecting to have two
boll weevil Specialists in this end
of Halifax County for one week
at an early date. We will hold
several meetings at school
houses in the county and want to
cover as much territory as pos
sible. If you are interested in
having one of these meetings in
your community and think you
can get the farmers to come out
to hear sure enough boll weevil
information let me here from you
at once. As soon as the dates are
fixed we will publish a schedule
of the meetings and want to
urge that every farmer in Hali
fax county plan so as to attend
at least one of these meetings.
Happy Marriage of Poet*.
Elizabeth Barrett Browning, consid
ered the greatest woman poet that
England has produced, was the wife
of Robert Browning, distinguished
Ehgllsb poet. Their marriage was the
result of u call Robert Browning
made on Mlaa Barrett in 1844 to
thank her for a compliment she had
paid him in one of her poema. Friend
ship grew into love, and In 1846 they
were married. Their life together wia
very beautiful, Mrs. Browning’s only
grief being that her father was op- i
posed to the marriage and never for
gave her. After their marriage the
two poets lived In Italy, where Mrs.
Browning’s health waa far better than
in England. Her death In 1861 was a
•hock from which Browning never
completely recovered. He afterward
returned to England. Later, however,
ho went back to Venice, where ho
died In 1889.—Detroit News.
