ABOUT REDUCING 1
AUTO LICENSE 1
This newspaper has no i
objection to any measure j
i
that will afford real relief jj
to the taxpayers of this state, ?
and being something of a tax- 1
payer itself, lends a sympathetic
ear toward such t
acts as will tend to afford s
such relief. But at the same 1
time, we want to be certain a
that real relief is going to *
be afforded, instead of some 1
[
chimerical bit of legislation r
l>
that fails to help our people, f
Newspapering is not such
a remunerative enterprise
that it is no trouble for the f
crew publishing it each weekjs
to dig up the automobile)*
license tax each year to keepjj
the old bus running. On the s
contrary it is quite the re- s
verse. We don't like to pay 1
I
taxes any more than the c
average rank and file. Yet f
we trust that the Legislature 1
will not be stampeded into Y
reducing the automobile li- a
cense fee until a thorough a
investigation of the needs of
the roads has been made, i
Roads over the state are in r
a deplorable condition. High- *
way crews are woefully un- f
derpaid. Many of these men \
are reciving wages that make 11
the pay of the much talked ?
about school teacher seem v
princely. Prisoners are in the 1
camps being fed; work is *
available and needed, and f
yet no work can be done in
many cases because the state ?
under its budget can not p
operate the road machines d
and trucks. 0
g
School buses can not pro- v
perly travel over these roads, c
and this state of affairs is f
reflected in poor average {
daily attendance, with its s
sure promise of too great a r
teacher load the coming j5
year. In the face of this con- c
dition we think it behooves c
?i ?t
the legislature to De migniy
careful about taking any
more of the highway funds i
for other purposes or to cut ?
the gasoline tax or the li- J
cense tax. Good roads mean ?
a lot to the economic life of 1
the state and destroying 1
them in the name of tax re- ?
lief is not going to benefit t
anybody. 1

By BIGNALL JONES
Enjoyment of life may, after all,
)e a matter of interest. If that is
,rue one should find in existence
lappiness so long as one find life
nteresting. At any rate after being
iround a newspaper office as man
md boy for nearly twenty years,

lighly diverting.
Newspapenng is supposed to be
.he most fascinating of all work,
rut since I returned from the S.
T. C., at Chapel Hill in 1919, I
rave never had a week's straight
vacation at any time. True, I studied
journalism at George Washington
Jniversity, Washington, D. C., in
1923-24, but I paid my way through
he session of college by working in
lewspaper and job offices. For at
east seven years, I have never missed
being in the office of this newspaper
on publication day. This
jolunm was started while I was runling
a paper in Henderson two or
hree years ago. Since it first appeared,
I have not missed writing
t for a single week. All this is by
vay of demonstrating that the most
nteresting kind pf work can after
;o long a time grow a trifle monoto10US.
And now I spend the greater part
>f my time in, the store or in the
:ountry, or drumming trade on the
itreets. Warren folks have been
nighty friendly to me, and meeting
hem on their farms or wnue imey
ire visiting in Warrenton lacks a
vhole lot of being what I would call
lard work. I like people, high ahd
ow, white and black, and am
horoughly enjoying the opportunity
or enlarged contacts.

or some time has been writing a
leries of articles in The Saturday
evening Post telling of his rise in
ife from a farm boy to a financier.
During his career he worked for
everal years as a newspaperman
md commenting on this phase ot
lis life remarked that he new of
10 better training for a man in
lusiness than to have been a newspaperman.
Whether that is true or
lot I do not know. I don't know
hat it is exclusively true, for I
lave the notion that experience in
my line o:: business will aid ill
;lmost any other field of endeavor.
Of course I know that success if
ife is measured in terms of fame,
3? zr
noney or power, our r wonaer u
rom a strictly literal standpoint
,-hether changing- a farm boy into a
inancier is necessarily a rise in life.
resterday a well known farmer of
he Warren Plains section came into
ur store and got to talking about
lis work. He held that the farm
ould not make a man money but
hat it would give him a good living
nd illustrated his meaning from
lis own personal experience in rising
rom a poor boy to a "well-to-do
armer. Practically everything he
ats comes from his farm. He said
lis produce paid him his daily exicnces
and that his table was not
lependent upon sales of his cotton
r tobacco. We could not sell him
ny feed for he grows his own. He
vill buy his fertilizer, but will pay
ash for it without resort to any
orm, or shape of loan. He carries
ife insurance; his home, barns and
>ack houses are insured, and he
aid that he gave each of his childen
a thousand dollar policy as soon
is they grew up. The majority of
lis own insurance is now paid up,
iffering a bulkward of credit in case
if need. He concluded his remarks
>y adding that he did not owe any
nan a nickle.
Neither fame, nor large fortune
las touched this man. But he lives,
i happy, contented life in the shade
)f his "own fig- tree and vine." His
lature being such that simple joys
md a sense of security brings hini
lappiness and being afflicted with
10 curse of great ambition, I can't
;xactly see why he is not truly as
successful as though he had "risen"
o be the vice-president of the
argest tank in the United States.

MRS. J. LAWRENCE COLEMAN
Mollie Nowell was born February
4th? 1868, in Chowan County, N.
C., and died January 2nd., 1935.
In 1883 the Nowell family moved
to Warren county and settled in
Macon. On June 3rd., 1987, Mollie
was happily married to Lawrence
Coleman, and for nearly thirty-eight
years they lived together in their
hospitable home in Macon. She was
not a mother in reality, but was indeed
a mother to the three small
children of Mr. Coleman by a
previous marriage, these, Mrs. Edwin
Russell and Brown Coleman of
Macon and Clyde Coleman of Baltimore,
her husband, J. Lawrence
Coleman, and one brother, J. J.
Nowell of Augusta, Ga., survive.
Mollie Nowell Coleman was an
outstanding christian character,
faithful to the duties of her house
and church, untiring in her attendance
upon the sick and those in
distress, eager at all times to lend
a helping hand in every good cause.
Her husband idolized her, her
children adored her, and her friends
called her blessed. When the death
angel knocked, this sweet spirit went
out leaning upon the strong arm
of one who can take care of us all,
and rests in peace.

Peter's Great Confession.
Lesson for January 13th. Luke 9:
18-26.
Golden Text: Matthew 16:16.
It would be difficult to exaggerate
the importance of Peter's confession
chosen for our Golden Text. "You
are the Christ," he cried, "the Son
of the living God!'' This acknowledgement
of Jesus as the Messiah
is of crucial importance in the gospel
narrative. For there is reason to believe
that the Messianic secret was
shared by the Master with His
disciples for the first time here at
Caesarea Philippi. In confessing that
Jesus was God's Son Peter brought
into the open what hitherto had
been a closely guarded mystery.
Peter juid the rest of the twelve
had been approaching this conviction
for many months. They had
not listened in vain to the strange
