Volume VII. FARMERS. REMEMBER Tobacco meeting at the Wakelon school building, Friday night, at 7:30. Extension tobacco expert, E. Y. Floyd, v\ 11 be present to discuss the tobacco si uation. Wash Rags Stolen Selma. The entire platform of the Southern freight depot was literally covered last Friday with wash rags which were stolen from a Southern freight car at the union station. The thieves evidently thought they had taken something valuable when they removed several cartons of goods from the car. The packages were taken about 150 yards from the car to an old field where the contents were examin ed. There were 3.(500 cotton wash rags consigned to a New York firm from the manufacturers at Mooresyille, N. C. The entire lot had been dumped into a ditch which was almost filled with water. Th. m were brought to the V v, depot and spreadh*ut to dry. The stolen goods were disordered by E. J. Sasser and Carl Ryals. there is no clue as to who the thieves a 'e. Paul Warren, height agent, and C apt. J. R. Strauphan were seen at the j freight depot washing rags which rais ed the question in the minds of some of our people whether the wage cut recently put into effect had made it necessary for them to take in washing for a livelihood.—Smithfield Herald. MR. ROCKEFELLER’S PLAYTHING Jno. D. Rockefeller Jr., is building a group of buildings on Fifth Avenue ! oevering two blocks. It was to have been known as “Radio City,” but fi nancial troubles have stopped the plan sc far as the Radio Corporation is con -, cerned. However, Mr. Rockefeller is going ahead with the International T\l usic Hall, which will be 31 stories high. The main story will be 74 stories ! • high and will have 74 elevators for passenger and freight service, weigh ing more than a thousand tons. A pop ulation of 13,000 tenants and employ-1 ees will inhabit .the building. 30,000 visitors are expected each day. The [ elevators will make the trip from the bottom to the top in about fifty sec onds. They will travel 21,000 miles a day, or 760,000 miles a year. Tn the construction of this gigantic pile of stone and metal the labor of 2,- 600 men will be affected. The gray panels will require 783 car loads of material . Chemical plants will con-j vert 6.000 tons of bauxite into 3.000 tons of alumina. At Badin, N. C., this j alumina will be purified and made into j 1,500 tons of aluminum. The whole ex- j terior of the building will be covered with limestone or aluminum. When' completed, this group of buildings will be the most wonderful and expensive ir America, millions of dollars entering into its construction.

The tendency to worry about things that cannot be changed or cor rented. 3. Insisting that a thing is im possible because we ourselves cannot accomplish it. 4. Refusing to set aside tiivial preferences, in order that important things may be accomplished. 5. Neglecting development and re finement of the mind by not acquir ing the habit of reading. 6. Attempting to compel other persons to believe and live a- w< do. 7. The failure to establish the, habit of saving money. ODGEN MILLS IS SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY Washington.-—President Hoover an nounced last night that Mellon had accepted Ambassadorship to Great Britain succeeding Chas. G. Dawes now president of Reconstruction Cor poration. Ogden Mills, under secretary of the treasury has been named by Presi dent Hoover to be secretary of the treasury to succeed Andrew Mellon. The announcement of Mills’ suc session was made while he sat in con ference in a nearby room with Presi dent Hoover. He has been one of the most constant White House callers during the shaping of the adminis tration's reconstruction program. (Ehc Zcbwott lßprmO WOMAN TO HANG I « nix. Ariz. Death on the gal lon - has been decreed for Mrs. Ruth Judd. 27-yeai-old daughter of a re ; tired minister. An all-male jury found her guilty of the murder of Miss Ag nes Anne Le Roi, her friend, and j specified the death penalty, after de liberating for nearly four hours. STATE BANKER UNDER ARREST Durham.—W. P. Few, president of the defunct Merchant’s Bank here, has been placed under arrest on charges that he embezzled $13,266 of the bank’s funds. He gave a $15,000. bond. The audit so far shows a shortage of $65,- 000. FARMER PUSHES BUTTON TRACTOR “DOES STUFF’ Several hundred Indiana farmers recently witnessed the plowing of a field for the first time by radio-op eiated tractor, marking a milestone in power-farming development, just as did the recent successful operation of! airplanes and sea vessels by remote' radio-control in the transportation | world. Who knows but that “front-] porch” farming may become a reality | some day? The plowing was done with an all-1 purpose, three-plow tractor. J. J. Lynch of Miles City, Montana, built! the radio control apparatus. By the j touch of a telegraph key, he controll ed the tractor’s operation, making fur rows as straight and true as though his hands were on the tractor steering wheel. With such an arrangement, one man could readily operate two tractor plowing outfits at a time, controlling the movement of both from the seat of the rear tractor, and plowing at the rate of 25 or more acres a day. Quite a contrast to two acres a day with two-horse walking plows. Oper ation of other tractor equipment can also be Controlled by radio in this way. Even the possibility of placing control apparatuna in the farm home and. without leaving home, guiding the radio-equipped tractor as the farmer willed was discussed by inter ested witnesses of this unusual radio tractoj-ploying event. Troy Mayes Wins Troy ka >es won the year’s sub scription to the Record offered for the largest egg brought to the office within 30 days. The egg weighed four and a quarter ounces. Along with the daddy egg Troy brought one that weighed only one-quarter of an ounce. Riley Privett ran Troy a close second. We shall be glad to send the Record to Troy for the next year and hope he will enjoy it as much as he does raising hens that lay winning eggs. _ I Talleyrand said: “There is one per son wiser than anybody and that is everybody.” You and I are everybody, and we decide the big questions. ia - : m r .~~' a*’ OUNO TOO \ r--_ _ OH .'MY* 1 A - ™ T t «*T~ ***** eftSKET.

I ' ' A Shooting Scrape Reports say that on Wednesday of last week a man near Pilot by the Name of Cook shot Hurley Privette. It seems that the men were at a Mul lins woman’s home and got into a row in which the woman was involved. Cook left, going up to Pilot where he left his car. Then, going hack to the house he had left he shot Privette. On Monday, this week, Privette died from the effects of the shot. Cook is in jail at Louisburg. Privette was buried at Pilot Tuesday afternoon. The service v as conducted by Revs. A. A. Pippin and S. W. Oldham. NORTH CAROLINA A NATURAL PLAYGROUND It can he said without boasting that North Carolina is easily, the "play ground of Eastern America.” It is net dependent upon its mountain scenery, as beautiful as tiiat is, but c; ii point out recreation; ! c iters in ail sections of the State. On the east o course, is the Atlantic Ocean with its beaches and consequent hotel re sorts and the deep-sea fishing it af fords. Inside the famous bars along its coast, on one of which is located tt • .ar-famed Cape Hatteras, is a system of sounds unparalled in Ameri- j ca for size and recreational purposes. To the prospective visitor to North Carolina it may be information that it j has an ocean frontage of 301 miles. One does not actually have to be on the waterfront to enjoy the playground advantages of Eastern North ( arolina, for inside, many miles from the coast, are beauty spots and recreational cen ters that are available the year around —spots untouched by severe weather, except in rare instances, and where ex tremely low temperatures are un known. The Piedmont, also, is a section where outdoor life has many charm and up-to-date recreational facilities abound, regardless of season. In the West, in addition to the oth er scenic sections, is the new ten-mil lion-dollar Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the eastern half of which lies wholly within the State of North Carolina. Standing sentinel to [ the east of the boundaries of this ' park is the monarch of eastern rnoun -1 tains, Mitchell Peak, which rises to an altitude of 6,711 feet. '1 his is the highest bit of ground east of the Rocky Mountains and it has as its companions in the network ot moun tains surrounding it two score peaks rising 6,000 feet or more above sea level. Across the State flow rivers of great magnitude, which are used for both re creational and utilitarian purposes. Thus, we have a panoramic view of North Carolina as a place of natural beauty. Hope For The Farmer David Lawrence says that the pres ent transition of agriculture from an unorganized to an organized basis is the most hopeful feature of the pres ent agricultural situation. There are now about 12,000 cooperative agricul tural associations in the country, with a total membership of about 2,000,000 farmers. They did a business of $2,- 400,000,000. Mr. Lawrence says the day the last group of unorganized farmers join to gether for mutual benefit, the farmei j will have reached the goal for which the more progressive members of his j industry are working. The time when a man could stand alone in his busi ness dealings is past. He must join with his fellows in the same endeavor, so that all may prosper and find a sound market for what they have to sell. • . P. S.—Zebulon tanners should or ganize. FIRE!!! In 1931, according to fire underwrit-* 1 ers. fire destroyed over $452,000,000 in property. 'Phis is a sad reflection on] the carelessness of the American peo ple. A half billion loss in property ai 1 many lives and much suffering be ides, much of which might be es caped. Defective flues, chimney and flues improperly constructed, careless handling of fire and matches—all these are contributing causes. Perhaps more than half the fires might have been prevented with sufficient care and cau tion. In Zebulon we have had unusual losses from fire. Flues should always be built from the ground up, and with the brick flat, and matches should be kept in a rat proof receptacle. Beware of fire! A LARGE PINT A rev/s^aper says thn* one of the three men at the “steak supper” on the night Sheriff Leonard was killed stat ed that there was on the supper table “ a large size pint” of whiskey. And it was a large size pint. From all ac counts it held death for one man, the wounding of an innocent boy, the en forced resignation from office of a third, and a fourth man, false evidence, sorrow, suffering, shame, regret, to say nothing of monetary loss. Every thing considered, any pint of liquor may be said to be large sized in po tential danger.—“At last it biteth.” Runaway Boys Did you ever see one or more small boys far out on the highway trying to thumb a ride to you-did-not-know j where, and didn’t your heart strings! grip you? On last Saturday afternoc*] while on my way to visit a sick lady, I j 1 passed four small boys travelling] <: t. Stopping, after much question-j 1 in<!-, 1 learned that they had left the, Methodist Orphanage, at Raleigh early that morning. One was from Norfolk,] one from Elizabeth City, one from Bethel and the other from Hookerton. They “said the matrons were good to | them, Mr. Barnes was good to them, but the big boys picked on them anti were mean to them. One wanted to go back to the orphanage, two more did if the others did, but the fourth said he did not. 1 tried to get them to agree : to return, telling them the police in Wendell or Zebulon would get them, that there was no place for them to go ind that the home they had was the very best in all the world for orphan ; boys. All this sounded convincing to One who had been in the orphanage] work, hut it seemed as an old tale j poorly told to these adventurers. We left them as they with sticks,, 'bundles and lagging steps took up| j their journey. I phoned the police ini Wendell to look out for them, then j sent a message to Mr. Barnes at the orphanage. Two hours later, just as I drove home, I saw them a hundred yards away. Hurrying down town, I got the officers and returned expecting to meet the run-a ways. But they were 1 nowhere in sight. We went out No. 90, then down No. 91 towards Middlesex, j hut there was no trace of the run aways. Later, with matrons from the i orphanage, we went down as far as Middlesex, but found no trace of them. 1 A letter Wednesday from Mr. ; Barnjs told us that the matron found them beyond Wendell heading back home. They seemed none the worse for their trip out to see the world and i appeared happy to get back home again. To know what is in a boy’s mind, one must try to b< a boy again. One said his mother wrote him that she wanted him with her. He said to arm. ] flier, let’s run away. And to a third, j go with us and they were off. That is what they told me. And yet would we not all be wanderers about the earth if experience did not tell us the hardships and disappointments await ; ing us? We must know. Just big boys, jwe are. not satisfied with what we | have, something bettqr just beyond lthe horizon, omebody out there await i ing us. a better happier life let’s go. t LITERALLY TRUE A few days ago K.
