IS, THAT I
AND THE OTHER i

.
By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS
Even if there had been no ser
mon at the Baptist Church last j
Sunday the lovely roses and.
on the rostrum
have silently spoken of<Cod.
Isn’t it amusing to watch folks
at a spelling match! Really morel
amusing than to be one of thei
spellers. Why do we always get
so keved-up and nervous over it— j
so much more so than the import-j
ance of the occasion could possibly
warrant? W e act as if the fate
of empires might be affected by
the outcome. We stand tense,
wondering whether we shall be able
to spell correctly the next word
that comes to us. They all sound
strange and new and unknown. In
stead of being the familiar tools of
, conversation they act as if we had
F never met them before. And we
are sadly prone to mispell some
simple little word that in a moment
of calm we coudn’t miss. But I
guess that is what makes spelling
matches fun.
To me one of the most interest
ing features of the P. T. A. spell
ing match at Wakelon last week
was the way a youthful reporter
for The Student Prints went about
getting up his account of the af
fair. He had made a number of
notations before the finish, and af
ter that he stepped up to the prize
winner an,| asked if he might be
told what the prize was, explain
ing that it was not personal cu
riosity that made him ask, but that
Hie was reporting for the school
Kiaper. It was al done with cour-
Hesy and self-possession and I en-
Boyed listening.
A few days ago i read an inter-
article in which the writer
Bieclarod that she will retire from
■various activities a id devote ber-
Hpcdf to her youngesi son, now six
■ years old. She eonff sses to having

Her children because i t her intense

Hnent<. Now, as a grandmother,
B<he realizes that a woman’s first
■duty is to her home.
I am not wholly familiar with
career of the writer, but am
to sympathcsize with her. Not

Hfaralleled hers save iti the strug-

V I have often thought of ’hat pas-
Hage of Scripture that says “thou
H-halt hear a voice behind tlu-i- sa;

clearly, it would be so easy

Returns of the voting on Tues
! day show that North Carolina is
overwhelmingly against repeal of
the eighteenth amendment.
While the city of Raleigh went
! wet, Wake County, for the first
time in history, went dry. Little
River precinct helped to establish
victory for those against repeal,
going dry by a good majority of
those voting. There is, however,
no question as to the repeal of the
j prohibition amendment, since three
I states on Tuesday— Pennsylvania,
, Ohio and Utah—joined the ranks
j of the wets, making certain the 3<5
necessary for repeal. Utah is said
to have been the deciding state for
repeal. South Carolina surprised
many by going dry. Kentucky vot
ed wet, but too late to affect the
result in the nation.
Tobacco Prices
Higher
Many markets are reporting
higher prices for tobacco. Wilson
announced that on Monday of this
week several piles were sold at an
average of eighty cents a pound.
Wendell reports the best prices
for years, with gratifying patron
age of the town’s warehouses.

Every Subscriber , Read This!
One of our solicitors came into the RECORD
office the other night and told us that when she ap
proached a subscriber about paying his back
subscription, he replied: “Why, Mr. Davis has been,
sending me the paper now for more than a year
without pay, so why should I pay for it when l can
get it for nothing?”
Now, friend subscriber, you surely did not read
what was said the first of last year when I bought
the paper mostly on credit. Many of those getting
the paper were one or more years in arrears. Mr.
Grote said these subscriptions past due ought to be
worth SI,OOO. We collected perhaps $50.00 of this
amount. Then soon afterwards I gave notice in the
RECORD that I was marking all subscriptions to
begin with Jan. 1932, and asked that those who
did not want us to continue sending the paper to
them, to let us know, and they could pay us in the
fall. Those who did, we discontinued sending the
paper to them. So, if you did not notify us that you
wished the RECORD stopped, it has been coming to
you ever since with our expectation of your paying
for it. We feel you are morally under obligation
r
to pay us for it for last year and also this year, too,
if you have been getting the RECORD.
a special inducement to get our subscripers to
pay up, we are offering till Nov. 15, to accept 81.00
for 1932 and also SI.OO for this year if you have been
getting it for this time. Please pay our solicitor,
or send us the money. This will save our having to
come to see you and will assure you to keep getting
the paper another year for SI.OO.
Even if our subscribers pay up, we will still lose
money on our paper to its subscribers, since what
they pay (should everyone pay) is not enough to
pay the actual cost of printing and mailing the paper
to them. Won’t you send us SI.OO or $2.00 right
away? We need it. I feel sure you will get far
more than your dollar’s worth in good reading next
year. We thank you for a payment.

Wakelon Eleven Defeats Selina
After a U! to 0 defeat at the
hands of Smithfield, the Wakelon
Bulldogs journed ovet to Selma arid
handed the Yellow Jackets a 28 to
6 defeat. Only once during the
game did the Selma outfit threaten
the Bulldogs and that came in the
closing minutes of play in the sec
ond quarter. With one minute to
play, Coach Gerow sent in his sec
ond team and Selma opened up a
passing attack that resulted in the
lone score for the Jackets.
Sam Narron and Grip Daughtery
were again the main cogs in the
Wakelon lineup. Narron scored
three of tiie four touchdowns and
accounted for two of the extra
I oints, while Daughtery scored one
touchdown and an extra point.
Horrel tallied the other extra point
with a beautiful drop-kick.
Following is a description of the
game as seen by James Horrell
and Talmadge Harper, both reg
'*!'* mi the Bulldog*’ lineup: Selma
won the toss arid electe,j to re
ceive. The second string backfield
began for Wakelon so instead of
Captain Daughtery kicking, Horrell
booted the ball to Selma’s ten yard
line. Jones returned the ball to
his own thirty yard line. On the
next play. Smith ran around Wake
lon's end for a thirty yard gain.
At this point, the Wakelor four
horsemen went to the rescue:
Narron, Daugfalery, Horton, and
Cockrell, and the Selma team was
forced to punt. Captain Daught
ery, who had a bad ear injury,
returned the ball to Selma’s forty
eight yard line. Narron went off
tackle for first and ten. On an end
run, Cockrell gained about five and
Narron made it a first down on the
next play. Captain Daughtery hit
the line for a two yard gain and on
spinner play he clipped off seven
yards. On the next play, the left
side of the line opened a nice hole
•H f-f-t I th . U 1
for a touchdown, Grip Daughtery
made the extra point by driving
through left guard.
In the second quarter, Selma was '
forced to play a defensive game
during the greater part. Wakelon
kicked to Selma and the Bulldogs
forced the Yellow Jackets to punt,
Cockrell returned the punt fd* fif
teen yards before being forced out
side. On a reverse play, Austin
Iv-rry, who went in for Narron,
made a beautiful run for a first l
down A pass to Morris Was good
for another first down. On th"
next play Ibiughtery carried the |,
ball on an end run and went for a; i
touchdown. House was playing i
center in place of Lyles and he threw
the ball over Horrell's head as he j
was standing for the ball, lion ■!< ;
ran back and grabbed the pig-kin
and, with < ro! Sel*n.i ::v r ; i
rushing him, kicked a b-'-ocifijl t
drop-kick between th I, > r t’- •

Recognition of
Russia
i It is stated that recognition ot‘
Russia by the United States will
be an established fact before the
|end of this week. While the Rus
' sian Soviet Republic has for some
time had a representative in Wash-.
1 ington, he was not accorded the
i courtesies due an ambassador.
American business enterprises have;
I done business with the Republic of
Russia and recognition will not
I mean a great deal, perhaps, except
that official negotiations may be |
carried on. The News and Obser-j
I vev suggests that the greatest dis-,
ft rence between Russia and some
other European countries with re
gard to the war debt question is
that Russia told us frankly that
she did not expect to pay.
Vaccine From
Eggs
I
Among the new discoveries made
I by science is a bacteria-free viru
for vaccination against smallpox.
This new vaccine is made from
chicken eggs instead of calf lymph,
and it is -said that 28 eggs
produced enough to vaccinate 7,000
persons. Brititsh scientists are the
producers of the new product.
Costly Vote
New York City has one assembly
district in which there is only one
registered voter, a Jewish rabbi.
The rabbi will vote at a cost to
the city of about one hundred dol
lars for rent of polling place, pay
I of inspectors, police, etc.
Deaths
i Jack Face, son of Mr. and Mrs.
| Fred Pace, of Wakefield, died at
Rex Hospital, Raleigh, on Thurs
, day, Nov. 2.
j
(i. B. Winstead, of near Zebulon,
died suddenly on Friday, Nov. ”,
at the age of 82. Funeral services
were held on Saturday afternoon
at Sandy Cioss % Methodist Church,
the pastor, Rev. W. G. Farrar, he-
I ing assisted by Rev. N. B. John
son of Zebulon, and other minis
| ters. Mr. Winstead is survived by
four daughters and nine sons. Os
these Miss I’earl Winstead, G. !>-.
Bedell and Neal Winstead are of
Zebulon.
Farley In Raleigh
James A. Farley, postmaster
General of the U. S., spoke in Ral
'•k'h last Friday, urging that North
Carolina voters stand by President
Roosevelt in his attempt to trans
late into action the campaign protn
-1 ises mad last year. Charging that
prohibition has been a failure and
ithat the country need* revenue
j from liquor, Farley insisted that
voters help to repeal the eighteenth
amendment. He spoke in the city
auditorium and was introduce,! by
Mrs. Painter Jerman.
Sign Your Name
Once more we beg that contri
butors to the RECORD sign their
names to any items they may
send in. Often we are forced to
omit news that we should be glad
to print; for, we have often stat
ed, w« cannot take the responsibil
ity of publishing accounts of hap
penings unless we know who wrote
them. The name need not be print
'd, BUT MUST BE SIGNED. .
i
SUBSCRIBERS
If within the last month you have
subscribed, renewed, or paid up
your back aceour t. do not worry
because the date on your label has
not been changed. We have not
had time to get all of them up to
date and will try to have them all
marked up within the next week.

TE FLAPDOODLE
By Tha

These last few mornings have
had me rushing around like a cat
with running fits. (I don’t mean
human cats either!) I have to tie
a string on my toes when I go to
bed at night so I can find them in
the mornings. Dreams of the frozen
North clad only in nature’s dress
suit are not at all out of the ordi
nary.
1 note with no little amount of
well-earned interest that one of
Zebulon Supply’s stenogs came to
work at two-thirty in the afternoon.
Was she taught that pithy Mother
Goose rhyme about the nine o’clock
scholar ?
