They .mew that the isnglisii people haa obtained what liberties they had by reason of the historic struggle for power between the king and the nobles; and they knew that the x-rench people had lost their liberties because the struggle between the king and the nobles there had culminated in the king attaining full power. They feared full power in any man or g;roup. Therefore they set up a system of checks and balances, such as state and nation, legislative and executive branch. Above all, they set up the Constitution as interpreted by the Supreme Court, as a check against any attempt to hand over to the Federal government any powers not granted it by the people in the Constitution or to take away from the States or the people any rights preserved to them by the Constitution. The rights thus preserved to the x-? rvonQr ha fnrffftffpn. OX1UUXU 11V I V* W J>V*QVVVV*tf abridged or endangered. Some of them are: Freedom of religion, of speech, of the press: The rights of the people to bear arms, and to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and effects from unreasonable search and seizure; The rights of persons accused of crime by the government, such as the right to a trial in public by a jury, the right not to be tried twice for the same offence, the right not to be compelled (by torture or otherwise) to be a witness against themselves, the right to procure witnesses and have the assistance of counsel; The right of each person not to be deprived of his life, liberty or property without due process of law. These are minimum human rights that ought to be secure to everybody everywhere in the world- But thej' are not- The fear of government by our "founding fathers" has been justified by world history. Government is still the most dangerous thing in the world.

Sni i r.nnsprvatinn Program Similar To '36, Says Agent By BOB BRIGHT, County Agent The 1937 soil conservation program will be very much like the 1936 program. There are two changes that farmers should understand. In 1937 each farm will have a soil conserving base and the administration will not pay for over 25 per cent of the tobacco baseApproximately 83 percent of the cotton base in this county was under work sheet in 1936 and 87 percent of the tobacco base- Those that have not filled out work sheets should do so at once and those that have work sheets in the office will receive a notice by planting time explaining just how they may qualify for their payments in 1937. The farmers in Warren county in 1936 earned in excess of $175,000.00 under the soil conservation program, but they did not earn a soil building payment as high as they should have earned. For example in 1937 producers may earn soil building payments for thining forests, for seeding lespdeza and clovers, terracing, and seeding alfalfa. In the fall they will be paid for turning under peas and beans and lespedeza. Producers should inquire about the program and find out just how they will be able to earn their payments. I am sure that when a farmer understands the soil conservation program there will not be any trouble in his complying with the rules and regulations governing the program. We are making adjustments as fast as we can and will have In the hands of the farmers within a few days the program worked out for each farm.

Toweii is to be ueard in Henaerson on Tuesday afternoon beiore Judge Henry A. orrady. Time set ior the hearing is 4 o'clock. When the order was signed by Judge W. C- Harris of Raleigh on January 30 it was made returnable before Judge Grady and was expected to be heard in Windsor on February 11, but Judge Grady was out of the district on that date and the hearing was postponed. Later agreement was reached between counsel for the bonding company, the county, and Mr. Powell to hold the hearing in Windsor on February 25, but when it was pointed out that Judge Grady would be in Vance county next week to preside over court it was decided to postpone the hearing until March 2 and meet in Henderson rather than travel to Windsor. The injunction not only prevents the bonding company from going off of Mr. Powell's bond but also prohibts the Board of County Commissioners from declaring a vacancy in the event Mr. Powell was unable to post a $5,000 bond. Kegarcuess of wnat action Judge Graay takes on the restraining order, it is not expected that Mr. Powell will lose his place as register of deeds anytime soon. In the event the jurist upholds the injunction, it is believed that Polk & Gibbs, attorneys for the bonding company, and Julius Banzet, county attorney, will give notice of appeal. On the other hand, should Judge Grady dissolve the restraining order it is thought that counsel for Mr. Powell, Charie Katzenstein of New York, Ed Travis of Halifax, and Gholson & Gholson of Henderson, will appeal. If the case is appealed to the Supreme court, it will not be heard until September and an opinion will hardly be handed down before October.
