That Justice May Ever Have A

Flourish Unchallenged.
Entered at the Postoffice at Warrenton,
North Carolina, under Act
Of Congress of 1879.
Therefore beloved brethren,
be ye steadfast, immoveable,
always abounding in the work
of the Lord, forasmuch that
ye know that your labour is
is not in vain in the Lord.?1
Corinthians 15:58.
The books which help, you
most are those which make
you think most. The hardest
way of learning is by easy
reading; but a great book that
comes from a great thinker is
a ship of thought, deep freighted
with truth and with beauty.

PENNIES SAVED AT
THE COST OF LIVES
That people may starve
because there, have always
been starving people; that
people may go through life
A r-v-i o i m or?

there have always been the
blind and crippled: that
babies may pay with their
lives the price of ignorance
because ignorance has always
reaped a terrible toll
of infant lives may be sufficient
reason for an uncivilized
and barbarous people
to neglect human welfare,
but it will always stand as
an indictment of a civilized
community.
That people may have got
along for generations without
"newfangled" measures
and agencies may have been
sufficient excuse when they
knew no better, but in the
light of new knowledge and
changing conditions such excuses
should no longer suffice.
Truth should make one
a slave to right.
A technicality overcame
the demand that the services
of the welfare officer be discontinued
in the name of
economy and she will continue
her work of relief
among the poor and needy.
But only the public conscience
stood in the way of the
dismissal of the county
nurse. That was not sufficient
to overcome a cut in the
State appropriation plus a
demand for lower taxes.
And the man in the street
and on the farm as he jingles
a few pennies saved in his
taxes may try to salve his
conscience by the, reflection
that the nurse's work did not
matter. Across such conscience
balm cuts the testimony
of county physicians that
bloodpoison has practically
disappeared in natal cases
since the nurse has been
supervising midwives. And
across the conscience of us
all lies the knowledge that
now young expectant mothers,
too poor to go to hospitals,
to even have the assistance
of a physician, may
be left to the. care of a superstitious,
uninstructed, unsupervised
and unsanitary
midwife.
Our taxes will be lower
this year but it is a saving
that will be paid for with
the lives of young mothers
and babies, in anguish and
with tears, unless something
can be done to carry on this
most important phase of
health work.
"The Poor Ye Have With
Ye Always," may be interpreted
by one class as meaning
there have always been
and always will be poor people:
but it will occur to another
class that the Master
was pointing out a field of

REAL ESTATE ASSESSMENTS
Greensboro Daily News. e
Most of us not wholly non-senti- s
erJj live and learn, and there is a r
bit of comfort in discovering that v
the county commissioners of North
O/-. i ?-i o o >-> r\f- o r~\ oYp^ntinn tn
V_/tH WinJet ai^ iivw M**
this rule. The d.ate convention of
ihis group, probably urged to it by .
Charles M. Johnson, of the county i
government advisory commission, '
has gone on record as opposed to
the quadrennial assessment of real
estate for taxation.
The strange thing about this ac- j
tion is that the commissioners waited
beyond their firS; state meeting
to adopt resolutions or in some other j
fashion express their disapproval of
this old American custom. If there
is one item of public business which t
will not conform to the four-year "5
plan if; is the assessment of houses, s
lots, stores and filling stations. As i:
t.n a house the basement mav fill r
with water or an undesirable neigh- v
bor mcve in next door; business is
easily diverted from a store or filling
station by a change in the rout- 1
ing of a highway. One man's property
gets on the books at a valuation
all out of proportion to that a
of other residents of 'the same com- v
munity. There is no way of being
absolutely certain that any appraisal
is wholly fair at the time '
it is made; certainly none would 11
contend 'that he can determine ^
values four years ahead. v
Revisions are constantly being c
made both up and down. If it is 0
wrong to put. an unfair burden on
a citizen and refuse to lighten or
adjust it for four years, it is equally a
bad 'to give another the edge for the 0
same length of time. Realizing this,
the commissioners have always reopened
any case almost at the will 1
of the taxpayer; but sentiment be-Is
ing what if; is most of the readjust- r
ments have been made in favor of je
the individual and few for the bene- 1
fit of the community.
Unquestionably the thing to do
is remove all inhibitions as to as-1
sessmertis and make them as of the ?
present. |1

To the Editor?Under "Incidentally,"

Is it possible that Miss Lewis appreciated

removed from an atmosphere of t

"Snouts in the trough" conveys? It
is a suggestive title. We recall memories

Claude Haithcock was chauffeur
of 'the car in which I accompanied
the group of farmers on their trip
through the county on Wednesday.
Other passengers were David,
Frances and Harry Limer. I didn't
fVio X.JmDw: lQiiahinnf of fho I
111A11V.I VAAV* UlltlV/iU UV U*iV_
ignorance I displayed when I asked
questions about crcps, but was forced
to tell Claude that he could not
afford to laugh as he was a life insurance
agent ana not a farmer.
Claude insisted that he was a farmer
for the "field day at least."
Probably the prettiest cotton we
saw was at the farm cf R. A. King.
Mr. King remarked that the cotton
inspected was about the worst that
he had on his farm. The prize for
corn would go to Harry and Frances
Limer. No close inspection was made
of tobacco fields, but in riding by
it was easy to see that Walter
Smiley had a splendid crop and that
Jim Frazier was living up to his
reputation as a tobacco farmer.
Several fields of good tobacco were
found in the Afton-Elberon section
where crops as a whole were the
best of any territory inspected. Lack
of rain was reflected in every section,
but crops were pretty gcod in
spite of this fact.
As the noon hour approached and
passed, the stock joke at the home
of each farm visited, was the suggestion
that there was no need of
going to the barbecue as the crowd
would be glad to eat dinner with
the farmer host. The usual rejoiner
of the host was that he was sorry
but that dinner had just been served.
As the group was pulling away
frcm the home of Harry Limer,
Harry was found to be missing. His
brother, Frances, said there was no
need of looking for him as he would
not show up until the crowd left.
This was made after several requests
that Harry serve dinner 'to
the fifty-odd farmers present.
The German blood in Kasper
Kilian was revealed as he and I
walked through the stable of one of
the farms visf:ed. "This stable is
too small for such a large farm,"
Mr. Kilian said. A German proverb
reads, "A fine house will never build
a fine stable; but a fine stable will
build a fine house."
| Worth Haithcock easily came in
jfor the most joshing of any of the
group. When pictures were made
his friends begged him not to expose
himself as ithe camera would
not stand the strain. Later at the
home of Harry Limer ft was suggested
that Mr. Haithcock pose with
a bull being displayed. As he is
above the average in looks the natural
conclusion is that Mr. Haithcock
is very popular with his farmer
friends, and extremely good
natured.
I don't claim to know much about
farming, but I am intensely interested
in agriculture and the wellfbeing
of the county, dependent upon
the success cf the farmers. So I
enjoyed the inspection trip im?
mensely, and also was able to do
full justice to the barbecue and
brunswick stew, I concurred with a
remark made by Harry Limer as
we journed from the 'cue to Warrenton.
"The only complaint that I
could possibly make," Harry said,
"is that they don't have these days
more often." ;

And thou shalt teach them

The end of the law is obedience,
and the words of this law we are
to teach diligently to our children.
It is by the training of these
young lives that there is help for
tnem as with men everywhere they
grope in more Or less darkness

This teaching shculd begin at
the mother's knee before the little
prattler can say, 'Now I lay ma
down to sleep.'' ft should begin before
he can stand at his mothers
knee, for her smile should have
something of God in it. The fatner
should join with the mother in
making it a Christian home into
which the infant comes. What
shall we think of a father who
provides for the nourishment of
the child's body and the training
of its mind, but has no word of
cheer nor conscious act of example
for its soul? Is it for this
that God has placed the infant,
the child and the youth in our
care as parents? Let us not forget
thj family altars at which we
knelt when our own fathers and
mothers were in the flesh.

if we mean 10 xeacn our cnudren
diligently in the things cf
God we will surely teach them by
example as well as by word. If we
tell the child to love God, and he
sees nothing in our lives to show
him that we love God, can we say
that we have taught him very diligently?
But if the mother is diligent
in teaching her child of God(
and the father reads aloud God's
word and explains its meaning,
then God has some place in that
child's heart. And if these parents
continually show a Christian spirit
a hedge is raised about the child
to ward off evil communication.
