That Justice May Ever Have A
Champion; That Evil Shall Not
Flourish Unchallenged.
Entered at the Postoffice at Warrenton,
North Carolina, under Act
of Congress of 1879.
With God is strength and wisdom;

Young men are fitter to invent

BACK PAY FOR
TEACHERS NEARER
To the teachers affected.
and to those citizens generally
who take pride in having
the county of which they
are a part meet its obligations,
information that the (
county commissioners on ?
Monday took another step t
towards the payment of *
back salaries of teachers in ,
the Littleton and Macon i
districts will come as good i
news.
Not in any spirit of con- ,
demnation to the citizens of t
the state, who have prob- <
ably done their best, but in 1
justice to the teachers of t
North Carolina we point out c
that their salaries have been 1
cut to a deplorable level and 1
that they are having a dif- s
ficult time in maintaining
that standard of living expected
of those engaged in
instructing the children of
the state. We have been
reliably informed that in
certain counties of the state
number of teachers have left
the school room to accept
jobs in textile mills where
the pay under the code is
higher and where the standard
of living is considerably
lower.
The point of the above is
that those teachers who have
been so fortunate as to receive
their full pay have been
having a difficult time, in
connection with the rest of
us. Those who have not
been paid have been put
into a deplorable and often
embarassing position. That
the commissioners, realizing
their plight, are striving to
give a helping hand to correct
a condition that came j
about through no fault of
the governing bodies of the
county, but rather brought
about by economic condi- "
tions in the two districts, is
to be commended. ''

ENCOURAGING NEWS
i
We are publishing on i
page one an article upon '
school debts and a table pre- ,
pared by Superintendent of
Schools J. Edward Allen. A <
study of the table will bring
some cheer to those citizens
who realize what a large
proportion of taxes go towards
the payment of debts
contracted in more optimistic
moments, in that an
early lifting of this burden
will come within the next
few years.
With the state operating
the schools and maintaining
the roads, except for bonded

taxes wouia oe very low.
However, on account of
debts of the county and all
its subdivisions tax payments
have worked a real
hardship upon the people
during the past few years of
the depression. Because the
Board of Commissioners and
the Board of Education have
during the past five years
reduced this burden to a

considerable extent, thous- '
ands of dollars in interest i
are being saved annually. If ;
this lick can be maintained i
for only a few years longer :
the county will be out of i
debt. 3
With improving business
conditions, a steadily lower- ?
ing tax rate, the end of debt i
payments in view, a decrease 1
in calls for charity cases and 1
court costs expected with t
the improvement of eco- s
nomic conditions, citizens of c
the ceunty can again look ?
to the future with optimism. t

Christianity and Patriotism.
Lesson for May 13th. Matthew 22.
Golden Text: Matt. 22:37-39.
"Pay therefore what is Caesar's
;o Caesar and what is God's to
Hod." In these famous words Jesus (
idvises obedience to both God and ?
;he state. It is possible, He says, to
;erve both. But it is perfectly clear w
hat loyalty to God, in the Master's 0
nind, must take precedence over
oyalty to Caesar. It was for His c'
;xcess of faith in God that our
-iord was crucified. Cl
Now we live in a day when this b
'undamental issue is very much to ^
he fore. The agitation aroused by .
lemands of an absolute character, ,
nade by the state in opposition to
Christian principles, has reached an
tcute stage. The lines are clearly
Irawn. On the one hand are the
lationalists who, in the name of c,
latriotism, insist upon an unquali- ^
ied conformity to the edicts of the p
itate. On the other hand are the
nembers of the Beloved Com- ^
nunity who obey God rather than sl
nen. t]
At the present moment the nat- S(
onalists have the uper hand. Ger- w
'vinnv ic? HonionHinr* thof fVio
thurches renounce their historic ^
'aith and accept a pagan substitute t]
binding them completely to the tj
chariot wheels of the totalitarian y
state. Russia has outlawed organ- y
zed religion. And while the plight
pf the Christian Society is not so
iesperate in other lands, there has si
oeen a most menacing suppression a
pf that freedom so dear to the v
Christian. In the fifteen years since d
;he war there have been more si
prosecutions for free speech in Eng- fi
and than in the half century a
)rior to 1914. S
And here in America the pa- ei
rioteers are in the saddle. When f]
3rof. Douglas Macintosh, of Yale, ir
ecently applied for citizenship, he tl
>aid that in the event of war he ci
would follow his conscience in is
preference to the law of the land, h
His case was carried to the high- tl
jst court of our government and tl
le was denied the right to be a citi- n
jen. The truth is that the state fi
;oday, for the majority, has taken ir
the place of God. Against this God- state
must the followers of the 3
Cross arise in solemn protest. e'

Will Notify Counties J,1
As To Cotton Acreage r(
ri
Announcement of county cotton
illotments under the Bankhead bill
will probably be made within a few C
lays, according to Charles A. Shef- fi
'ield of State College. g
The division of crop estimates of b
the Department of Agriculture is
working hard on the work of prorating
the State's allotments among d
the individual counties, Sheffied
said. tl
When the tabulations have been *
r-ompleted, the figures will be sent ?
to Raleigh and then distributed |
from there to the various county
agents. Rules will also be given out
in regard to the apportionment of
allotments to the individual growers.
The Bankhead bill, which was r|
enacted to limit the country's cotton
production to 10,000,000 bales
of 500 pounds each, has provided c
for an allotment of 507,840 bales for ?
North Carolina.
The county allotments arc be'ng v
calculated on a basis of the production
during the past several a
years. p
The bill also provides that small
growers who were ineligible to sign c
contracts may be provided with an s
allotment under which they may t
produce cotton without having to r
pay the 50 percent tax imposed by
the bill on excess harvests.
Sheffield also reported that approximately
one-third of the cot- f
ton counties have finished the ad- t
4..?, xi i? 1-?

and the others are expected to com- y
plete theirs shortly. Those which c
have been finished are being forwarded
to Washington as fast as they
are passed by the State office
in Raleigh.
The rental payment checks will c
be sent out as fast as the contracts e

Jesus wept.
Maybe the shortest verse in the
criptures was not apropos but oi
ts own volition it came into my
nind as a man and woman came
>efore the Board of County Comnissioners
on Monday asking for a
>lace to shelter them. Both of a
ubnormal type, the man, a secind
husband, in his twenties, and
he woman in her late thirties, said
hat they had been evicted from
heir home after they had failed to
>ay any rent for 15 months, and
hat they had no place for themelves
or for their eight children,
"he commissioners made arrangement
to rent a home and move
hem in, and Jesse Gardner, Relief
iirector, promised to furnish them \
ith a team in order that they t
might raise sufficient food to take
are of themselves through the ap- roaching
winter.
It was reported that the woman
nri hppn in t.rmihlp in Granville I
ounty and that instead of sen- '
;ncing her to the penitentiary the '
residing Judge had banished her 1
rom that county and that she,
rith her troubles had been dumped
n Warren.
Prom evidence submitted to the (
ommissioners it would be hard to c

hildren. It seems that the lower t

the larger the number of .
hildren.
It was not any feeling of sym- ^
athy for this man or woman, nor

ase, that would drive one to tears,
lather it was the plight of a peo- f

iere are hundreds of similar casas t

tate. White people hardly above ?
he level of dumb animals, with no
uise of responsibility, so utterly
orthless that no self-respecting
lan will have them as laborers or
mants, breeding like flies and f
hreatening to tear down civiliza- C
