PLAYING THIMBLE AND NEEDLE When an Eure van princess got married the othe. jay she wore a dress made with her own hands. Now if some of these American heiresses and lesser breeds would learn this game of thimble and! needle, some poor fellows could play the game of life easier with 1 them as partners. j ARE THERE ANY MURE LIKE THESE Sully Bailey who lives just across in Johnston county is twenty-three years old and says lie has never ridden on a train although he has owned nearly •> dozen cars of var -1 ous sorts. When I expressed surprise at his statement, lie told me that Jas. Parrish who lives a half mile on down 22 highway had never chewed gum, drank a coca cola or other cold drink, nor ridden on the train. And he is 75 years old. Wonder j what caused him to abstain from these pleasant exercises to his teeth and his taste. CHAPERONING Cl BA If there is any one thing that stirs a feeling greater than disgust j to %Z!'- * s to see a big husky fe!- ‘ low who i* nol able to look afte’ t his wn affairs trying to teach j and regulate the conduct of some kid. That's about the way a great maii\ citizens besides Will Rogers feel about Uncle Sam’s meddling with the affairs of little Cuba. And yet less than an adminis tration back the Democrats were cussing the Republicans out for medd'ing in Niea'auguan affairs., a Tias quite a lot of the big brot' er attitude, but it i- consider ably mixed uwith the bully ali i dictate; -pi rit.

It is some- - what long, but it is wed-worth the time it takes to read it. As 1 said sometime Lg", we have the sales tax and th. re is no way of getting rid of it for a while. Howler, it appears that there should be some wav of collecting this tax witn >tit making tho-e least aide to pay. pay a- high as ten pc cent tax on small purchases. And, if the s*ate profited by this j difference, it would not be so bad. As it is, about nine-tenths of the one cent tax on A ten cent arti< le goes into the pocket of the mer chant. Mr. Maxwell should in some way regulate the tax so as to re lieve the purchaser of a ten cent article of this burden. As the law now stands, K I purchase ten sep arate ten cent articles I pay the merchant ten cents tax on the dol lar. Every cent collected by the nt on a ten cent sale should ie state and not the most of his till. A falrefsadiustment c/ ulrlaJv should be made. I believe if it is I done, there will be considerably ] less complaint from the buying public. And then, too, this is the ! fair ami jus* thing to do. THE SCRIPTURE AND NRA i ! Far be it from the editor of this j paper to condemn men for ! to justify by t" e holy scriptures i the things whi h they believe. 1 Would that :b! might search J tiiem more! But let us bear in mind Hiat not I only text, but a!-a context, must 1 be studied. And >t us be careful i how we quote, lest we wrest the 1 passages to our own destruction — or to tha! ■ f hi: a tument. I We have seen recently several I artie'es which claim that the NRA symbol and its use are foretold or sanctioned by the B'ble. They quote ! from Revelation 13: 10-17 —“And he causeth ah, both and j great, rich and poor, fre • and bond. to a mark in their right ' hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy <>r sell, save 1 he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or hi number.” If these re. dc-rs of the B'ble had only gone farther, they would have] found, in R >v. 14:9-10, “If an> . man worship the beast and his im age, and receive his mark in the I forehead, or in his hand, the same shall drink >f the wine of the ' wrath of God and he shall I be tormented with fire and brim ! stone "* ; and they shall have I no rest, day nor night.” The sixteenth chapter of Revela i tion tells of the pouring out of the i J vials of the wrath of God upon the: earth. “And there fell a noisome! j and grievous sore upon the men i I which had the mark ot the beast.”! i “ * * * * and they gnawed their, ' tongues for pain.” We do not claim that NRA meth ods are not sanctioned by the Bible: J but we insist that the references j given must in that case refer to something besides the Blue Eagle-! Or else we are in a mighty bad' ! way. i William Smvthe j - Is Interviewed ; } *1 Uncle Haywood Smith, noted and ( i otherwise well known Colored man about town dropped into the Re cord office the other night. He said hi l had not had any supper and had , just come in from up and around | town. The office force was consum ing a melon of reasonable dimen-j sions, so shared the remains with ‘ Uncle Billie, better known around, town as “Charcoal.” When he finished the melon. 1 some rind and a few seed, and was • j apparently fe»ling very much sat isfied with himself and the world, the said office force proceeded to interview him. “How long have you been living, uncle,” we asked. “Two I h'.v die ! and eight years,” he re plied. "How old were you when the civil war come a*«ng?” “O, I wuz a big boy helpin' along most like a plan.” “But you could not be one hun dred anil four years old now, if you were just a boy then,” we said. “(>, yes,” he replied, “but you -eo I’ve been living both day and night all this time and that makes me twice as old as I is.” We re:t asked him what he ♦ bought of the prohibition ques tion. “Now, what's that?” he ask ed. We tried to tel! him. “O,” said he, "what do the Bible say about it?” And that was all he would say. “Well, uncle.” we asked finally, I “what do you think about these 1 uhlic dances they are having ! around town these days?” “Don’t j think a tiling in the world of ’em. They ain't a thing but trash busi-; - ness.” Someone askep him what is the difference between a negro and a Republican. With a chuckle he ask ed. “Wv is the>e any difference? Ii I tell- you a 'publican means some- 1 thing, yes. sir. a 'publican mean- . something.” Newspaper Kindlin' If you want to start your winter fires wit! newsj apers, do n'd shred the papers and dump them n a heap. Instead, soak them, folded flat. In water: then twist them into tight rolls to wring out the water, and lay them in the sun to dry. Use "hem after ttiev are fully I dried.

SEPTEMBER 22, 1933. | Holloway s Hits By James H. Holloway j President R josevelt has taken i ers.,nal charge of the NRA Blue Eagle and i- now teaching him to scream. Under the management of Genera! Hugh Johnson his wings were beginning to droop, his voice was aNo mute. Certain influences hostile to the fundamental princi ples of NRA have been desperately trying to circumscribe his freedom and range. Thev almost succeeded "n their efforts before the President took charge r>*' th- situation.. NRA mu-t succeed if this nation endures. Numerous major and mi >v>r rrouhets have H-"e:i predicting failure f flowed by a revo utior.. They have entirely lost -ight of the fact that this country has been passing through the greatest revo-; ! ution in all human history for the •»ast si" m nths. This revolution started the day President Roose j volt was inaugurated and it has not yet reached its peak. The most j startling developments are yet t. . come. Before the first of January, 1934, what has already happened will seem tame by comparison with what will follow. President Ro se velt, having set his hand to the plow, cannot turn back. His power is practically without limit. If ne j cessity demands, he will use this ; ower to the limit. He is going to shoot the works. The magnitude -f his plan has riot yet dawned on ! the consciousness of the American ! people. Those vho are holding back land consoling themselves with the idea that the plan will eventually ! fail, will be sadly disappointed and | will live to regret their mistake in j sackcloth and ashes. President j Roosevelt is as much the divinely i appointed instrument to lead this; 'nation and the entire world out of i this terrible depression as Moses ! was to lead the children of Israel. . nit of the Wilderness. Those who j continue to bow down to and wor ! -hip the Golden Calf and other j idol will suffer tha same fate a - the wicked I sraelites who refused .to follow Moses four thousand j yea.s ago. | 01 1 Man De cession was given a I handsome funeral by the people of Raleigh Fiiday night. Thousands! attended the obsequies and not a tear was shed over his demise. N>, such procession ever followed a. j body to its last resting place as ! the one which marched down Fay-1 ' ettevilfe street with music and re-' j juicing Let us hope that the old ! fellow’; body will not arise phoenix-1 i like fr< m the ashes to which it was j j consigned in front of the Memorial ; Auditoiium by the mourners. From all reports the sign-up by the fan.ieis of North Carolina tor the reduction of the tobacco crop has been a howling success. A pro cessing tax will be placed on tobac co similar to the cotton processing tax. V\ lien the markets re-open much 1 igher prices are expected. The markets should not l>e opened: to the farmers who have refused to sign the agreement. Any farmer who refuses to cooperate in this movem *nt in the face of this emer gency is not entitled to any consid eration and he should be denied the right to sell his present crop ami also forbidden to plant any tobacco crop next year. This is no time to fool with such. If they will not con foi m they should be ieformed by law if necessary for the good ot the many who are trying to im prove thei. c idition. This unfair, attitude of the non-conformist, should be discouraged in all lines of busines . They can and will wreck any plan if they are allowed to f• »l --i low unmolested their selfish incli • nations hoping thereby to rt-ap the l benefits of the plan without con tributing to its success.

This department! •s nothing but an expensive joke perpetrated on the people of North Carolina during the administration >f Max Gardner. It has never sav ) ed the state a penny since it was | ♦'irst established notwithstanding j ' the numerous long statements of I sdf-praise they have published in the press. A quality product has no i innea’ for this department, chea - j ' ne-s is what they demand and as a consequence the state has bought' more inferior junk since this de partment has been in e'-flstence than has been purchased in the last hundred years under the old meth ods. The present inferior automo j ; bile tags i- only one of their iner t-able mistakes. If u good grade of paint had been used, even though, the ; rice was higher, there would have been no trouble about the let ter and figures fading. Any paint made by a reputable firm will last a year under the most severe j weather conditions. Before the year ends the numerous replacements will cost several times the amount •’'• purchasing agent lams to; have saved by using an inferior ar- I tide. The purchasing age.it seems to take a delight in awarding con , tracts to people outside of N >rtk Carolina. A local man is given no ! consideraion and if he represents a firm with a reputation for mak ing quality products at i reasonable !prre he has r ch n of getting j the business. Os c- ; -se if he is will ing to make ac 1 -natio of any pro fit he is entitle • t-> by making a bid below the cost o pr Auction co meet 1 the rotten competition if the junk dealers and irresponsible firms, he will someimes get a little business' but it’ he hopes to secure any con- j siderab’e amount of the business j purchased for the state he will be forced to make a connection with ! Cheap John concerns to do so. I i The City Commissioners of Ra ; leish have just employed two ad ditional City Attorneys to assist Hon. J. M. Broughton, the new City- Attorney. This is simply a form of p litk 'd graft the politicians have saddled on the shoulders of the tax i apers of Raleigh. The present city. ttorney is said to !>e highly ir,-! ! -nt at this latest action of the ; ••••mniissioners. It is rumored that I the commissioners acted without ! consulting the city attorney. This; ! T übil f public officials of paying I their political debts with the peo ■ pie’s money is a disgraceful thing an I it should be stopped. No won ! <!er taxes are high and still in * c t ing. The voters of Raleigh -hould keep this fact in min, 4 when j they come to cast their votes in’ j he next municipal election. Henry Burke is expeced 1 back in . :: few days to complete his survey of the financial affairs of the city 1 . i J County.' He started his audit some weeks ago, but after a few days he disappeared and no one seemed to know his whereabouts. Considerable speculation was in dulged in over his disappearance j and some of it was far from com | plimentary. Upon his return and: completion of his audit some dras-! j tic aition will possibly follow. It j has intimated by ceitain well informed people that the tax rate for the City of Raleigh will be al ; most double that of last year. If ' A add or Holding knows what he is' talking about the County Rate will j have to be raised to balance the County Budget. The widely adver ti.-e.i cax reduction effected by the* !u-t Genera! Assembly will riot i benefit the pe< pie of Raleigh and Wake County if the rates are rais ed higher than last year- by the ; comm -."doners.

C„ Sept. 17.—Relief families having land available will he asked to plant onions during the mmth of October for their con sumption next spring, according to a memorandum issued yesterday to, •ounty relief adimnistrators by Mrs. Thomas O’Beriy, state r-eli«| administrator. ft is anticipated that all the 135.- 000 families who have cultivated, | their own gardens during the sum- 1 mer will take advarMage of die, plan to supplement what they hawe a’ready produced with onions. The ■ various county and’community gar-! decs should also be utilized in dine ; same manner. Information is now being collect-? ed fi viin the various counties of the 1 State to determine the amount «fj sets nr seeds that will be necessary far the planting.
