Editorial
I.AW OR NO LAW
A newspaper headline savn that
North Carolinians have brought cases |
if beer home in their automobiles j
from other states and it is now re- j
posing in. their ice-boxes in many j
towns in the state
Well, we are not surprised. Most
>f those fellows probably have been
violating the prohibition law all along
and this act is no new thing for them
Usually a man who will break a moral i
law, will also unhesitatingly violate a
state law. If a thing is black neithei |
lay or night can change its color.
JUST SUPPOSE
Zebulon people had such regard foi
the boys and girls and appreciated
the value of money in times like thi j
present not to spend one cent foi
beer, that no one would even offer it j
for sale, and if he did, no one would
buy, then our town would bo known all
iver the land.
But no one expects such to be j
There will be one, two, three or more |
daces open the first day that bee; j
nay b sold, and it is likely they will j
b a thriving business. Let us hope |
that those of us who have been dry;
these years of prohibition will con-:
tinue dry for our young peoples’ sakes ;
Alter all that is the best way to fight j
the liquor evil and each of us has full
power within himself to so fight.
Will you join us in doing it?
Holloway’s Hits
By James 11. Holloway
The political Whirligig: in Washing
ton continues to function 100 per cent
under the driving energy and direction
>f President Roosevelt. It is almost
too good to be true, to realize a presi
dent is at last getting action from con
gress with facility and harmony. The
new President is evidently drawing in
spiration trom a higher power than
Mr. Hoover did. The entire nation is
behind him and upholding his hands
with enthusiasm. This has never hap
pened before since George Washing
ton was President, ll he succeeds in
holding ( ongrcss in line, and his rec
ommendations continue to meet the
popular approval for the next sixty
days, the country will be saved. At the
first sign of a Congressional revolt,
the people ought to register their dis
approval in thunder tones. The time
for dallying and hair-splitting has
passed and any Congressman or Sen
ator who makes any attempt to set up
his egotistical judgment in oppositior
to our great leader, should be squelch
ed completely. This nation has paid
a terrible price in recent years tor < on
giessiona! bombast and this form o'
sabotage should no longer be tolerat
ed by the electorate.
After ninety days of endless wrang
ling the North Carolina General As
sembly has worked itself into a Cul
de-sac, from which they are helpless
to extricate themselves unless the
Governor takes a hand. '1 hey have
failed utterly in making good theii
pre-election promises and commit
ments and are now faced with a rising
tide of popular indignation and dis
gust. Governor Ehringhaus would hi
wise if he would immediately get in
touch with President Franklin Roose
velt and get a large dose of the virus
he shot into the arm of Congress with
such splendid results and inject it into
the North Carolina General Assembly
No one seems to have the least idea
when the state solons will adjourn or
what fool action they will take. Ihe
Appropriation bill lias been shot t(
pieces and is satisfactory to nobody
The Revenue bill will follow shortly
and that will also have to run th<
gauntlet of every conceivable form ot
opposition. Taxes will be increased on
the little fellow but the big boys will
be protected. The much despised Sales
Tax in some form will probably be
the result. No movement has taker
form to place the added tax burden on
the Public Utilities and the tobacci
interests. Their bloated profits art
sacred in the eyes of the Legislators
The people elected the legislators but
they are serving the special interests
with all the power they have. I nless
the situation soon changes for the bet
ter this department is going to sug
gest to the Governor that he call in
thq Record’s Swashbuckler and let
him Flapdoodle the solons tor several
days. They need some one to tell them
to go home or to and the Swash
buckler can do the job in grand style.
Mrs. Davis introduced a subject in
her column last week which is rarely
ever discussed in polite society, the
Chinch or Bed-bug. It has always been
a profound mystery to mankind, just
why this loathsome and disreputable
insect was ever created anyway, un
less he was intended as the first alarm
< lock. He has no friend in the wide
world and he serves no useful purpose
except to add to the misery of man
and the mortification of woman. His
ha' Tat is anywhere he is tolerated
and when he is disturbed he exudes
an odor more nauseating than that ol
the pole cat. The first time the writer
ever saw one of the darn things, he
was sent by his father, when he was
fourteen years old, to move a family

Wages Lowest

Farm wages are said by the bureau
of agricultural economics to be the
lowest in .’ill years. Prices for farm
hands range from $2.10 a day without
hoard in Massachusetts, to 65 cents a
day in .South ( arolina, Georgia and
Alabama. The supply of labor far ex
ceeds the demand.

To the Editor:
I wish to express my views regard
ing the action of the Legislature. If
they go home with a sales tax, as thev
now expect to do, upon us, and the
beer and light wine law without let
ting the voters of North Carolina say
whether they want it or not, with the
high salaries paid to the state and
countv employees of every branch of
the government, with the condition of
the state and county affairs as they
are, you. our legislators, will destroy
the Democratic party as I see it. It is
getting ragged, and you had hettei
cut us something new, to fit our needs
You gentlemen promised us, if w\
would elect you, you would give us
relief in every needful way possible
by cutting salaries; in taking from the
pay roll of our state and counties
every one not absolutely necessary;
then going' on with the State affairs in
every branch with the strictest econ
omy! This is what you promised. Also
you promised that the man with his'
millions would pay his taxes in the
same proportion as those who had lit
tle property. This only will satisfy us
We looked for it.
If it is so we can have our eight
months’ school term and go on with
our state and county affairs without
borrowing much money to run the
government and balance the budget
then 1 would have hopes of seeing the
unemployed at work and toe pcopP
able to pay their taxes and save theii
homos. I would be glad to see the ex
penses of our State and counties on
the same basis as they were when
Avcock was governor; for we arc
now in a worse fix than at that time ,

beds wire taken down to load on thi I
wagon, the bed-bugs rolled out of the I
beds bv the quart. Some of them were I
hoary with age and when the negroe; !
set their number twelve brogans or
the filthy mess, the entire atmosphere
was filled with the odor. From that
day to this, the very thought of a bed
hug makes this scribe a potential mur
derer. On another occasion while ir
New York City at a very fine hotel
the writer was awakened about mid
night. by a strange sensation not un
like the popular conception of the tor
tures of the damned. The light was
turned on and about a thousand of as
active Bed-bugs as you ever saw be
gan to scamper to cover. For the next
five minutes, your poor correspondent
was as busy as a man could be and
when the fight was over the carnage
had been terrible. The blood of more
than a hundred of the pests had been
smeared on the bed sheets and a very
sick victor held the fic«ld of battle. The
next morning when the experience
was called to the attention of the ho
tel manager, he almost had apoplexy
All the furniture was removed and the
room was thoroughly drenched will

so nice the bill was paid. Come again
Mrs. Davis, you are always highly
entertaining. How about a dissertation
on the nightly habits of the Tom Cat?
You’rs beat before you begin, the
