And a town the s ze of Zebulon, needs an inspector to pass on building constructions. As an illustration of the need, a citi zen c'liied onr attention to the repair being dune on trio store building oc cupied by A. 1). Antone and M. I Debnam. It seemed that the contractor was leaving the middle wooden plat - en the In irk wall, and raising the wall above the first story by resting the brick on the wood timbers. In a few years, doubtless the timbers will de cay and i erniit the roof to g.ve way. or in case of fire each building would be equally endangered. We hope the Mayor and Aldermen of the town will appoint .-ome respon sible bu lder to look after this impor tant matter. It should not be delayed. \ NEWSPAPERS RESPONSIBILITY A newsnaper has character, or should reflect that of the publisher and editor. The editor often, in seek-j ing to give the public the news, finds i himself in the difficult position of de-1 ciding what is news and in the more; difficult situation of deciding what should be printed and what should not. , People come in and advise us w hat j we should say about every sort of matter. Others send in news at times' that we dare not publish till we edit it. We seek to learn the truth, then to publish only that which will inter-j est and help people, and also to know and appreciate the experiences and conduct of others. I Just a short time ago a man told us that if he was running a newspaper, j he would not publish announcements j or reports of bridge parties and tour- 1 naments, but would jump on such things wdth both feet covered with printer’s ink. We publish such news and it is of interest to at least some of our i readers. People generally know our personal opinion of gambling of every ings of such is a matter for the con ATTENTION, Mr. F armor ami Poultry Raiser: There is m< other project on your farm that offers so fair an op portunity for a sale investment that of early >prinp broilers.

It is just as import ant to run a newspaper as it is to reg ulate a life in the right way. As a dissem nator of news our j columns are o| en to all the people as far as space admits. While we re erve the right of deciding what wo -.hall print, yet as a rule we pr.nt ev : erything sent us by our correspond ents and others. Me may at times make comments on the news or even venture opinions concerning matters pertain ng to other people, yet when | we do, it will be with “malice toward none and good will to all. THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CITIZENSHIP Many citizens apparently believe that they have disehargd their full duty when they cast their ballot at, the polls. But that is only the begin ning of citizenship responsibilty. Af ter voting one should follow the offici al with h s moral support and do all he can to make it possible for every man representeing the people to dis charge his duty well. He should also be a sort of watch man to see that the, people’s interests are fully safeguard ed. . . ... . . I In the communication we publish m this issue of the Record from “Citi-j zen”, matters are indicated in which i every citizen of this community should | be interested. It is no reflection on, any official for any citizen to inves tigate and advocate changes and cor rection in saving money to the tax ; payers. In doing so, he is doing an invaluable service to his community land the country generally. We believe with our entributor that if the Clerk of the Recorder’s Court could and should do certain work m issuing warrants and other pape's at a saving to the people, he should do it. We also believe if it was l legal and necessary for a different man to be sworn in as constable, then the people should have been informed once or twice a week will avoid »1 this It contains fresh laxative herbs active senna, and pure pepsin, and docs a world of good to any system —young or old.

' | Holloway’s Hits Bv James H. Holloway j} j I j Congress continues to fiddle while \ ! Rome burns, the entire country is j both digusted and indignant at the ! manner in which it is conducting it i self. The Nation’s business is rapidly . approaching the shoals of disaster .I vi hde this body spends its tme in [ ! fruitless discussion of frivolous mat-j | ters. If the incoming congress con- i ■! tinues to dawdle as the present one! , is now doing, a national revolution ] is inevitable. Moreover, unless speedy i action is taken by the next congress j President-eject Roosevelt’s adminis tration will he w; ked before the end j lof the y ; 1 I. he patience of the] I people at the breaking point! and if . ies break this country will witness the most terrifying conditions! since its formation. With millions of i men out of work and other millions j deprived of their homes and property by ruinous taxation and extravagant, misgovernment the stage is be.ng set for a catastrophe of the first mag ] j nitude. I The North Ca* dina General As j s< mbly has now reacehed a critical I stage in its delberations. They start- I ed off well and .t was generally be- J lieved great go ()( l would b: accom plished. Signs are now beginning to' multiply which indicate a slowing down of the initial enthusiasm and a growing tendency on the part ol the Solons to compromise ami hedge on the more momentous problems. The Committees in both the Housi and the Senate were carefully stack ed by the speaker and the lieutenant Governor either by accident or design and the result of this action is begin ning to make itself felt. 1 here art* enough old members in both houses who by reason of t’ eir experience and l knowledge of parhmetary proc.eedure to keep the new membership in check and defeat any measure which does not please the big business represen tatives. The defeat by the Senate of the bill to abolish the Corp ration Commission is a victory for ;he n, d Gv:«;d. it is highly probable t it this clique will he able to defeat a | the reorganization recommendations |of the Committee of Might before ! adjournment. The new members have :i majority of the votes in both houses but m the Committeees, the old guard holds the reins. A majority < ommittec report is hard to overcome unless the new members take the bit in theii 1 teeth and rebel. 1 h s seldom happens las legislatures seem to consider a majority Committee report a sacred mandate. That accounts for so much unfair and rotten ligislation. Some ! form of sales tax now seems inevi i table. Every little business in the i state is already taxed to the point of i confiscation and any added burden 1 would bring d.saster. The legislature j continues to remain both deaf and 1 blind to the most fruitful source of new taxation, which is the unreasona ble profits reported by tobacco Manu facturers. If they had the intestinal ; fortitude of a fishing worm they would j proceed to levy a Tax on the Hundred ' Million Dollars of wet profits of the I Tobacco Companies and balance the 1 >tate budget. To add Twenty Millions ot add.tioiial Taxes on the Hundred .Million net profits advertised by Ihr American Tobacco Company, H. J. Reynolds and Liggett and Myers would 1 not be a hardship as after that was taken they would still have Millions 1 more pi’ofits than they have any le-j’ gal or moral right to rob the farmers of. They have taken the farmer’s all 1 and some method to make them dis- ! gorge should be found. Captain Kidd ■ Jessie James, and other noted robbers J would doubtless roll over in their ( graves and groan with envy if it were] possible for them flo real ze vihat ' pikers they were at the art of high- : way robbing as compared to the North Carolina Tobacco Trusts. The matter of the appointment of the Raleigh Post Master has been, settled according to street rumor. Herbert Gulley has already assured Commissioner Carl Williamson he would be appointed and Mrs. PalmerJ Jerman will be left out in the cold and all her loyalty and service to the Democratic party will be ignored while a peanut politician will enjoy j the fruits of victory. Gulley has made i the statement on the streets of Raleigh j | that Williamson has got to be appoint-’ ed or else he is going to kick a certain unmentionable portion of Josiah William Dailey’s arfcitomy all 1 over Washington. Senator Bailey would not dare subject himself to such an indig nity at the toe of his chief Lieutenant bv refusing to comply with his de ] mands. Consequently, Williamson will ! get the job while other deserving De- I mocrats will be ignored. Os course I three years hence Senator Bailey will ; I pay a terrible penalty for his Gulley j | folly but some people take advice very . lightly. * Dr. S. E. Douglas seems to be the ! only member of the General Assembly ‘ ] from Wake County who is honestly 1 striving to serve the people in an able lard entusastic manner. He promised during the campaign, as the other | representatives from Wake promised, j that he would champion the cause of the people and he is doing so. READERS FORUM Dear Readers: I wonder how many of you read the tern which appeared in last, week’s Record, entitled A Thought. I really. | wonder is it so much confidence Mr, Ford has in the people or has he 1 'thought of tlie city of S-xiom which the 1.0..| promised to save foi the sake of ten righteous men. It is my ; own opinion that if this world is being 1 held together by honesty and right eousness and good deeds as claims j Mr. Ford, it is subject t > destruction, i 1 do not doubt that the Lord heareth . the prayers of few people, but I : say it .s not the good works of hu- ' manty that s holdng the world to gether; it is the tender mercies of God. I do not mean to say that good will he overcome with evil. But I doj ; say that I had rather depend on this world being destroyed by sin and wickedne c thu, being held together' b-, right lUsne' . \. D. BRANTLEY. | ■ >h. Editor: We read a great deal about how the! high-ups in government are “silk hatting” and dong other things at; the people’s expense. But folks at j t mes are liable to get so interested at! v. hat the big fish are swallow ing that j they fail to see what or how much the l ttle ones are getting as they nibble ! around. If reports ai'e true, there seems to ho a situation in Zebulon and Little River township very much like the lish spectacle. Some of us have got ten so concerned over what the state and county officials are doing at Ra -1 leigh. we have lost sight of local af fairs. Instead of two courts —one at 1 Raleigh and the other in Zebulon — for the benefit of the county and Little ' Little River township especially, it : seems we have two right here in our ' midst do ng duplicate work. ' Mr. .1. M. Whitley is the e.< ted I magistrate of this township and also clerk of the Recorder's Court. We un derstand that he receives a salary for, ! his services as clerk. Regan lies of 1 the amount of work he has to do, he is expected to do certain work if call-j • ed upon to do it, such as issuing ca- I piases, and other papers. • Then, Mr. G. C. Massey, our fine] deputy, is here to serve all papers in Little River township. He also works on salary. At the last election, many of us voted for him as township constable, thinking that he would be reappointed deputy and could serve in both capacities with no extra cost to the people. Now if reports are true, and 1 have heard from various sources that they are, Mr. Massey’s son, having the same name, has been sworn in as con stable and draw's the pay of a consta blc for serving papers. Yet his father was the duly elected constable for Little River township and should serve - such papers as come under a eonsta-1 ble’s duty. . . | Again, we understand that a justice \ of the peace has been appointed and' business that could be attended toi without extra cost by the clerk of thei Recorder’s Court is being turned his i way, such as drawing up warrants and other such papers. Should the ' Clerk do this, I understand it would be I without cost to the people. Yet when! the extra official draws such papers. 1 there is a charge for such work which might very well be dispensed with if the clerk w as allowed to do it. It seems to me that wherever we can cut expenses without interfering • ith the satisfactory dispatch of legal matters, it should be done. If we have an officer w-ho can do the work that may be done without extra cost, he ; should do it. If the combination depu | ty-constable can serve all papers, and i thus save the cost of an extra officer, he should do it. 1 do not blame any j in an or officer getting pay or fees le gitimately; neither do 1 blame the peo ple under existing circumstances want rg to cut every unnecessary expense in government operation. I believe half the officials in Wake county and also North Carolina could very well be dis pensed with and still not affect the 'operation of the government. And, so long as this community fails to re tnnch and curtail in its local govern ment, it has no r ght to critise, or to raise ;:n; stir or stink in government al affairs higher up. “( ITIZEN”.
