What’s Lacking Here?
It is said that when the beer hill
came up in Congress that the N. C.
delegation voted for it on the theory
that if 3.2 is intoxicating, the Sup
reme Court will not allow its sale,
whereas if is not intoxicating, there
is n i reason why it should not be
sold.
Is this “passing the buck”, and do
those men think they are sent up to
Washington to represent he people
with ut any sense of personal moral
responsibility whatsoever?
M \CK TO SCHOOL, BOYS!
Ralegh, Jan. -‘‘My child can
read three times as rapidly, with much
less eye strain and fatigue and with as
c input' and thorough understanding
of what she reads as 1 am abie to do”
Dr A. T. Allen, State superintendent
of public Instruction, stated today.
Dr. Allen explained that the
method by which he learned to read
was by spelling out the words first
bv seeing every letter separately, as
the case with practically every adult
person in the State today. This, h<
stated, is tedious and tiresome method
viewed in the light of present-day
methods and educational develop
ments. Then the Doctor should enter
the primary grade of some of his
tine elementary schools for an eight
months’ course in this wonderful
word--sight-method of reading. We
old fogies all ought to learn our les
son anew.
II Dr. Allen is correct. Get your
old Blue Back, boys, and come on.
WHERE THE MONEY (JOES
Congressman Pou of North Caro
hna is introducing a bill into Con
gress to appropriate $40,000 for the
inaugural expenses of Mr Roose
velt. rhe fund will be used to build
a grand stand and pay for other ex
penses connected with the inaugura
tion.
Now $ 10,000 is not very much to v.
political) or those who vote the spend
ing of tho people’s money, but to the
average citizen at this time, it is a
bg fortune. Supose for just this once
that Mr. Roosevelt just drive his muh
down to the capital and hitch him:
like a former President did; then
wall; up the steps and let the Chief
Justice make him swear that he will
support the Constitution for foui
.vear in the fear of God and without
favor to any man. Outside the small
saving to the people, the example
would he worth while to those of ih
who have not yet adjusted ourselves
to living like we must and not like
we want to do.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE BONUS
Eve) v body believes in doing justice
by those who served in our wars.
1!., r who are suffering from wounds
' or disabilities received in the war or
. caused by the service should be kind
-1 ly and tenderly cared for. But we be
r lieve that nothing worse could happen
, in this nation than that the great
1 body of ex-service men who are sound
, in mind and in body should become
a sH of parasitic pensioners on the
national bounty, using their tremen
dous political power to make and un
make C< ngre -es in -order to get ap
: propriations for themselves. We hope
1 that our soldier boys of 1!)17-18 are
made of nobler stuff than that. And
we are glad to have evidence that
many of the World War Veterans see
the evils that attend this concerted
campaign for ? bonus. In some of
our papers a group of World War
vetrans who call themselves the “Vet
-1 mans Justice Committee” are publish
ing as paid advertising a state
' ment in regard to the matter, in which
' they s a , that, not including the bonus
that over $400,000,000 oi the peoples
money is spent every year on ex-ser
' vice men and their dependents who
suffered no injury whatever in the
‘ war. This is nearly one-eighth of the
t. tal Federal budget’; about 12 cents
, per dollar". They call attention to the
fact that men who have suffered since
* the War in automobile accidents and
' such things since they left the ser
-1 vice are treated at hospitals at gov
ernment expense, ami receive pay
ment in cash; an d that veterans of
the World Wai who have developed
certain diseases a s late as six years
after the war receive the same com
-1 pensation as men wounded in battle
1 though the best medical opinion is
: that in most cases their diseases are
not remotelv due tit the war. Fhis
seems to us an abuse of tbe gener
osity of the people.
A- tar as we are able to judge
World War veterans of North Caro
' liiiii are much more moderate in their
claims for the bounty of tbe Federal
Government than those of most other
states. This is shown by a table of |
expenditures of the Veterans Asso
ciation giving the figures for the var
ious States, which appeared in the
Congressional Record for December
lit. For instance while the veterans
of North Carolina received for 1932
a total of $11,777,3:12, Kentucky and
Tennessee, each w ith a smaller popu
lation, received $20,882,176 and sl7
825,282 respectively, or in other words
twice as many dollars per .soldier as
North Carolina. These figures indi
cate either that the veterans of North
j Carolina are not receiving their pro- i
per share o r that the veterans of
j some states are receiving much more
| than their proper share, the latter
being probably true. After reading a
table revealing unmistakable evidence
of fradulent practises we can under
> stand why the “Veterans Justice Com
mittee” says:
“We demand the of existing
laws allowing benefits for non-war!
| disabilities and we demand the pre
vention of bonus pre-payment.”—Bib
lical Recorder.
Sales on the Pitt County curb mor-1
ket at Greenville now total $6,068.79
for the year, which is about SI,OOO
: above sales for last vear even though i
price levels for all farm produce have
been at a lower figure.
Some women are so foolish they}
j should have been men.

j unable to sleep, neighbors of Mrs j
i W. M. Riggs of Moundsville, W. Va. !

And if more men had read this be

GOOD BARNS SAVE FEED
Heavy rains followed by the sleet
and snow which have fallen over most
of North Carolina in recent weeks
causes more hardship to livestock
do animals not adequately bedded suf
i ter under such conditions.
We write and sav much about our
mild winters being suitable for the
keeping of livestock on North Caro
lina farms, and it is quite true that
we ha', e an advantage in this respect
We she aid .iot over play tin.-, advan
tage, however, and use it as an ex -.
: cuse for neglecting the stock.
Such weather as we have had in
!the State recently is hard on animals
kept in barn or lots with insufficient
bedding. Stock running in the open
field will be much more comfortable
under such conditions. We should j
keep in mind the old saying that an )
animal with a good bed is half fed j
Mr. Case, live stock specialist at
State College, has found in his de
monstration work with live-stock that
if livestock is provided with a good
place to lie, a considerable amount j
of feed is saved.
While we are all concerned with the j
| suffering of human beings during the (
winter, let us not forget our live-!
stock, farmers are doing their part in i
! relieving human hardships but they
: should, at the same time, give proper
i consideration to their dumb animals.
Tney should be properly fed and cared j
: for both from a human standpoint j
and from an economical viewpoint |
Where sufficient feeds were not pro-1
duced on the farm for adequately!
nourishing the animals, such feeds |
should be purchased. Where dry bed- 1
ing is not available, it must be se- j
| cured somehow, somewhere and in
; some manner.
This will pay in peace of mind as
l well as in dolla’-s, Cace believes.

J four years from now he will be over
whelmingly repudiated by an indig
nant electorate. The voters of the
country have given him a mandate
which leaves him entirely untrammell
! ed by the influence of any man or set
jof men and he is in the strong in
j dependent nosition to carry forward
| his ideals and compell their accept- 1
! nee by Congress. With large majority ,
i back of him in both branches of con-!
| gress and almost unlimited federal
| patronage at his disposal with which
jto keep disloyal and recalcitrant
Senators and Congressmen in line, his
| opportunity for service to the people
!is indeed a wonderful one. If he will
I simply name his cabinet officials, then
present his legislative program to
Congress and withhold the distribution
of further patronage distribution un
til it is passed, he will get action on '
his entire program in three months
time and Congress can then adjourn
and g * home. The great army of
jdh seekers t 1 mt the nation
would make life so miserable for them
i not dare prolong the session as they
| have been doing heretofore.
North Carolina will inaugurate r
1 new Governor the coming week. He
will need and should have moral sup
i port of the people of the Common
wealth. His job is going to be very
I trying begining with his first day
ii! office. Grave issues will press foi
!an early soluton Governor Ehring
hause has introduced an innovation
I into state politics by applying him
self since the election in familiarizing
I himself in the affairs of the state
Government and this meritorious ef
fort will prove invaluable to him when
ihe assumes his new duties. Those
! who know him well are very inthusi
i astir over his election and they be-
I lieve he will set a standard, as Gov
ernor which has never before been
j surpassed and seldom equalled. His
inaugural message is awaited with
keen interest. His recommendations
I have been carefully guarded and the
! Legislature will be the first to hear
them. He is succeeding the most
| colorful Governor the state has ever
: had. In spite of the mistakes he may ,
have made. Max Gardener has been ,
a very successful Executive and his
administration has been a stormy one.

Cheating Death
(The following account o7 escapes
from death was sent in by C. B.
Hodge, a RECORD subscriber. For
lack of space it has been somewhat:
condensed.- Editors)
The saying that a man will not die
until his time comes seems to be true j
in my case, as I have escaped death!
at least six times, as we sometimes
say, by the skin of iny teeth.
My first escape was when I was 14
years old and was living with Aunt
Bettie Baker (T. Y. Baker’s mother.)
It was in October and I was helping
pick cotton when two young wdiite
men and a nPgro came by rabbit
hunting. Tom and 1 took our dog and
left our work to hut for just a short
time. The dogs jumped a rabbit and
the colored man shot him. We all ran
up to see if the rabbit was killed,
an,) I tried to climb on the fence, but
fell, striking the barrel of the negro’s
gun with mv right shoulder. The gun
discharged, taking the ton of my
shoulder and also tearing my right j
cheek to pieces, knocking out all the (
upper teeth on that side of my jaw.j
tearing through the inside of mv nose!
and lodging in my left eye. My clothes j
were set on fire, also. I was taken toi
the house a quarter mile away, being |
conscious all the time. Dr. Bell was
sent for and came as soon as possible
doing all he could for me. Every one
in the community did their best for
me, but no one thought 1 would live.
I was totally blind for several weeks.
And if I owe mv life to one person
more than another, it is to Cousin
Grace Baker, now Mrs. J. H. Fowler.
When 1 was 16 and was feeding
cows, one knocked me down and land-!
ed on my chest, trying to gore me. But!
I managed to catch ore of her horns!
in each of my hands. an,| held tight i
to her so that she could not gore me.
She literally scrubbed the stable with
me. 1 yelled for Tom and he came
and heat her off.
When 1 was 17 my blind eye was)
giving me lots of pain and my two!
i
brothers in Newport News, Va., said
i if 1 would come there, they would
have it taken out. I went and was soon
relieved of the painful eye. By going
to Sunday School I became acquainted
with some young people and through
them found the way to a swimming
hole in James River, which was seven
and one-half miles wide at that point
I learned to swim, but on one occa
| sion, while playing in the water, be-
I came excited at getting where the
i tide was strong and began to carry
:ne away. I got strangled and was
practically unconscious when rescued.
In 1903 I went to New London and
I got a job in a ship yard. One day as
I was at work :i heavy angle iron fell
| hitting me on the head, cutting a long
gash which required several stitches
|to sew up. The doctor said if I had
been hit on top of the head instead of
I the side, it would have meant sure
’death.
I
Because of a strike in the ship yard
I went to Boston. Mass. While on an
open street car one clay I started to
leave the car, stepped off on the left
side, my blind side, just in front of
|me jerked me back just as another
|an approaching car. A man next to
car whizzed by, and I was saved with
jout a scratch.
I drifted out to the Great Lakes,
still working in the shipyards. In
Wyandotte, Mich., 1 married and be
came active in church work, bccom
