Mr. Tippett seemed to be in verey good health Thursday and seem ed to have just plenty of fun Thurs day with his grandchildren—Jack, Louise and Lula Gray Pace. Mr. Tippett was buried Saturday af ternoon at the old family burying ground beside his wife who went to claim her another home some years ago. There was a steady downpour of rain late Saturday afternoon as if nature itself were shedding tears of sorrow for the man who had departed from this world. The floral tribuntes were many and beautiful. The children wish to thank the peo ple who were so kind to them and those who did not forget who did not forget them in their deepest sorrow. Mr. Tippett is survived by ten chil dren, all of which are. living, having one child dead, who passed away some time since You know not how we will miss you, The days will seem so long, But we will go on through life dear papa, And on our lips will be a song: This is not goob-bye, papa, Nor neither is it farewell, Some time, dear one, we will meet again, And all will then be well . THE ZEBULON RECORD REPRESENTING FOUR COUNTIES—WAKE. JOHNSTON. NASH and FRANKLIN THE LARGEST CIRCULATION OF ANY SMALL TOWN COMMUNITY PAPER IN NORTH CAROLINA. | COURT AUTHORITY AND DELINQUENTS Distinctions between the jurisdiction lof juvenile and superior courts over delinquents between 14 and 16 years : has been set forth in the following ruling which Assistant Attorney Gen eral Frank Nash has made for Mrs. ; Kate Burr Johnson, Commissioner of i public Welfare. “Our Supreme Court in State vs. Burnette, 179 N. C., 735, and State vs. Coble, 181 N. C., 554, have estab lished the following principles in re lation to crimes committed by chil dren under 16 years of age: “I. Children under 14 years of! age are no longer mdicatable as crim -1 inals, it makes no difference how flagrant and how heinous the crime j may be. They must be dealt with as wards of the State, to be cared for, controlled and disciplined with a view to their reformation. “2. Children between the ages of 14 and 16 years, when charged with felonies in which the punishment can not exceed imprisonment for more ! than ten years, are committed to the juvenile court for investigation and if the circumstances require it, may be bound over to be prosecuted in the | superior court at term, under the ' criminal law appertaining to the charge. “3. Children of 14 years and over, when charged with felonies in which ! the punishment may be more than ten years’ imprisonment, in all cases shall i be subject to prosecution for crimes as in the case of adults. “4. In matters investigated and de termined by the Juvenile court, no ad judication of such court shall be de | nominated a conviction; and further, no child dealt v, ith under the provis ; ions of the act shall be placed in anv penal institution cr other place where j he may come in contact with adults I charged with or convicted of crime. “A boy between 14 and 15 years of i age is alleged to have assaulted a ; grown man by shooting him with a j gun. We are not informed as to the ' character of the assault. If the as | sr.ult was committed maliciously in | such away as to be a secret assault 1 with intent to kill, under C. S. 4213, then the boy is to be treated in deal ing with the offense as though he was an adult, under rule 3 stated above, the punishment for such offense be ing in the discretion of the court as much as 20 years in the State’s Prison. “If, however, the assault, being with a deadly weapon, was made with in tent to kill, then the case would come within rule 2, stated above. An as sault with a deadly weapon with intent ; to kill is under C. S., 4314 a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the; State’s Prison not more than ten years. “If the assault was simply an as- j sault with a deadly weapon, then that; offense being a misdemeanor, the ju risdiction of it is exclusively within! ! the juvenile court.” MEETING WAS GRATIFYING “The recommendations made by the cotton committees at the Memphis meeting, relative to crop adjustments in the cotton territory are very grati fying,” says J. M. Gray, assistant di ; rector of extension at State College, i last Saturday in Raleigh. “These : recommendations amply justify the very earnest efforts the agricultural j i extension workers have been making I to reduce the cotton acreage and to in-; i crease the quality produced, as well as to increase the acreage in food and feed crops and the amount of live i stock and poultry kept on the farm. W’herever we find this program fol lowed we do not find distress cotton.” ! MUCH TOBACCO ON THE ZEBULON MARKET THIS WEEK The tobacco market again this wcc-tc was a big one —Big in Two Ways - Big in quantity of pounds and Big in Price. Prices ranged around the top most mark, and those who brought to i bacco here on Thursday had the ! chance of seeing one of the best com- I munity fairs in the State. Many of ' our farmer friends made a special trip here on Thursday with a load of | tobacco and also to take in the fair. Monday’s tobacco sales topped the season’s highest ily estimated that the number of .pounds sold was around 130 to 150 thousand. Prices were good and it iis said that they were much better j than the first part of the season. ZEBULON, N. C. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1926 MRS. BOSHART TO BE CHAIRMAN ANNUAL SEAL SALE FOR WAKE Intend to Make Sales Larg-J er Than Any Previous Year The annual sale of Tuberculosis Christmas seals held in Raleigh and Wake county will be conducted by Mrs. E. W. Boshart this year. Mrs. Boshart has been interested in local enterprises for civic improvement in Raleigh for some time. She knows ; Wake county well, having served as a ' judge in a great number of the rural school commencements for the past ■ two years. She is now song leader in the Raleigh Woman’s Club and is chairman of the Music Department of this district of the State Federation. As representative of the State Tuber culosis Association, she proposes to launch an intensive sale of seals in this community and double or triple the returns of previous years. Practically the same plan as that |of last yesjr will be followed. A chair man from each church in Raleigh has been appointed, and Mrs. Boshart and Miss Halford hope to get the county schools lined up this week. The sale is planned and controlled by a State organization that operates on a “for the people, by the people and of the people and of the people” basis. Every citizen familiar with the work of the North Carolina Tuber culosis Association is cognizant of the i fact that every dollar paid out for seals, seventy-five cents is retained in the city for use in preventive tuber culosis work, twenty-five cents going back to the State and National Asso ciations for operating expenses. The significance of that statemtr* cannot be overlooked. It means that i tion and treatment of tuberelosis is | provided for the citizen who has small ! or no funds without pauperizing him self; it allows for the maintenance or part maintenance of his family while he regains his ' health. Briefly, it helps build up a healthy citizenship. Mrs. Boshart, under orders from the association offices, has all plans formulated to place the seals on the market on Thanksgiving Day. They will remain on sale until December ;25th.

DELICIOUS SOFT DRINKS The Chero-Cola Bottling Co., of whom Mr. Dale Starbuck is owner, is putting some very delicious soft ; drinks on the market now. The com i pany puts out five different flavors, in i grape, orange, peach, root-beer and ginger ale, all put up only in a patent ed Nehi bottle, as illustrated in their ad. on another page. Mr. Starbuck was in town Wednes day in the interest of his bottling company, and one can see from his | ad in this paper that there are many merchants in Zebulon handling these i soft drinks. It is said that the Nehi bottled goods are gaining favor very fast. RECEIVED ENTHUSIASTICALLY . “The new plan of high school re organization has been submitted to j school heads in 82 counties and all of them have received it enthusiastical ly,” said J. L. Memory, assistant in spector of high school Saturday to a News and Observer reporter. “There has been some criticism of j the plan in the papers, but I think the reception given the plan in the 82 counties is concrete evidence that ( school officials think highly of it. We i ] hope to recover the remaining 18 counties during the next fortnight.” THE NOV EMBER ELECTION WILL BE HERE SOON 1 A Few More Days and the People of the State Will Ballot Again The minds of the people are turn ing more and more to politics and the approaching election November 2,1 now less than two weeks away, espe cially is thus true in the offices of the State Board of Elections, where R. C. Maxwell, assistant secretary of the Board, is busy sending out ballots by the thousands from the Raleigh office. Already 100,000 absentee ballots are on their way to the chairman of the various county boards of election, while one million of the regular ballots for the election of State officials and for the congressional candidates are being wrapped and gotten ready for shipment. . “While you are talking about bal lots, you might call the attention of the voters to the fact that in using an absentee ballot, it is not necessary to fill out the blue certificate, unless the ticket i 3 cratched. That, is if the straight Democratic ticket is voted, all that is necessary is to fill out the white certificate, which states which ticket is voted. It is not even necessary to en close the ballot. But if the ticket is scratched, and some Democrats and some Republicans voted for on the same ticket, then the blue certificate must be used, and the marked ballot enclosed with it. But, we do not an ticipate the use of many of the blue certificates,” said Mr. Well to a news paper man. Attention was also called to the fact when an absentee is used mere ly because of absence from the state or county voting precinct, it is neces sary to enclose the affidavit, ho doc tor’s corticate being required. If ab sence is due to illness, however, a doctor’s certificate is necessary, but no additional affidavit is required. Both of these facts were brought out prev , ious to the primary in June, but some , confusion seems to still exist in some , minds, Mr. Maxwell says. The million ballots being sent out . by the board are for the Senate, State and Congressional contests only, and will be sent out only to those counties which do not have the Australian bal lot. The only ballots that will be sent , to all the counties are those on the constitutional amendment and the ref erendum on the War Veterans' Loan Act. The so-called “State ballot” will contain the names of the candidates for United States, candidates for the Supreme Court and Corporation Com mission and Superior Court judges. Ihe Congressional ballot will contain the names of the eighteen candidates for the House of Representatives, there being no opposition to the Dem ocratic candidates in the first and sec ond districts. PARENT-TEACHER ASSOCIATION The Parent-Teacher AssodlSMon held its first meeting of this session in Archer Lodge school building last Friday night October 12th. A goodly number attended. New officers were elected as follows: Miss Mary Saunders, president; Mr. Geo. Murphy, vice-president, and Miss Thelma Mason, secretary and treas urer. • Miss Saunders appointed beautify ing and program committees. She called attention to business matters to be attended to relating to the clean, ing of the school ground, play ground equipment and sand tables for the primary grades; also urged that the association be made b ...i state and national. We believe that the school, church and community will take on new life other than the work of the P. T. A., as the parents and teachers expressed their co-operation in all good work | pertaining to these. EASTERN STAR NOTES The Wakelon Chapetcr, Order of the Eastern Star, Ko. 133, will hold their regular meeting on next Tuesday night.

IN CONVENTION AT FAYETTEVILLE, N. C. (Taken from People’s Advocate) The members of the North Carolina Division of the United Daughters of the Confederacy held full sway in Fayetteville during the past week. It was the unanimous opirvon of the delegates that this the 30th conven tion, which closed Friday, was one of the most successful ever held- in the state. The invitation to hold the conven tion of 1927 in Asheville was ac-; cepted. It was decided that the offi cers of the state division endeavor to secure from the next Legislature an additional appropriation for the care of the Confederate veterans cemetery at Raleigh. Officers were elected for the ensu ing year as follows: , Mrs. Walter F. Woodward, of Wil mington, president; Mrs. Alfred Wil liams, Raleigh, first vice-president; Mrs. L. B. Newell, Charlotte, seebnd vice-president; Mrs. Sydney P. Coop er, Henderson, third vice-president; Mrs. Gl-n Long, Newton, recording secretary; Mrs. I. F.

Mrs. Anderson was also given a vote of thanks for writing and publishing her book, entitled “North Carolina Women of the Confederacy,” some of the characters of this book were por trayed in the program of the “His torical Evening,” a high-class enter tainment that reflected in its concep tion and rendition unusual skill and ability. Mrs. Anderson received flat tering compliments for her work at the hands of the convention in provid ing this entertainment—which was pronounced by many judges as the best of the kind ever given in the city. COMING INTO THEIR OWN Some dislike to see the people go to larger towns and send to mail or der houses for merchandise. They r weaning off from this every day now as they realize, through advertise ments, that Zebulon merchants have it—whatever it may be—and have it for less money. Come, look them over and the drinks are on them if they do not have the most up-to-date stores of any that can be found in any towns of anywhere near the size of Zebulon.
