District Meeting
Os W. M. Societies
On last Sunday night at the Bap
j tist church the district meeting of
i missionary societies was held. This
meeting had been postponed for a
i week because of bad weather and
! last Sunday was another bad day.
! Probably on this account few of the
churches were represented. Wendell
sent a fine delegation. Mrs. J. T.
Allen presided. Rev. S. W, Oldham
of Wendell, conducted the devotion
al. reading from Paul’s letter to the
Corinthians. Mrs. Pnul Brantley, of
Wendell, added much to the pro
gram with two solos, accompanied
by Mrs. W. G. Smith at the piano.
The Royal Ambassadors of Wen
dell, directed by their leader, Mrs.
M. V. Andrews, did their parts ex
cellently, speaking on Stewardship,
the topic for the evening. Mrs. An
drews’ son recently won first place
in the declaimers’ contest on stew
ardship in the Raleigh Association,
and his declamation, was a feature,
of the program.
The last speaker was Mrs. Theo.
B. Davis, who briefly discussed the
same subject which had been em
phasized by others. The next meet
ing of the district will be held on
: next Sunday p. m. at Hephzibah.
[The subject will be Home Missions.
Society members are urged to at
tend and this service will be a part
of the Week of Prayer.
Play Well Played
“She Stoops To Conquer" as
played by Wakelon’s tenth grade
last Friday night was enjoyed by
an appreciative audience. Although
written more than a hundred and
fifty years ago the comedy holds
appeal for the present* Much credit
is due the actors and their coaches;
to the girls of the Home Economics
class, who made the costumes under
their teacher’s guidance; .and to
the members of the class who acted
as property managers. Scenery was
shifted quickly and quietly and the
settings were well arranged.
One line is often too much.
[ Holloway s Hits j
| . By James H. Hollowa*
Oni short year ago last Sunday
President F anklin Delano Roose
velt was inaugurated. He found this
country panic stricken with fear
and almost on the verge ot despair,
l.nder his able and wise leadership
the nation lias been transformed
into a hopeful, happy and prosper
ous condition. The future is rich
with promise of better days to come
and men ard women all over the
land r*c hi. as their deliverer.
There is no counterpart to his won
derful achievements in statesman
ship in all the annals of both sacred
or profane history. The mighty
magnitude of his accomplishments
simply staggers the human imagin
ation. He bids fair to he hailed by
future historians as the savior o
the world from chaos. He stand
before the world today as the ae
knowledged leader without a j eer it,
all the universe.
A well-organized movement i>
now being promoted all over North*
Carolina, havirg for its purpose the]
! popularizing of the three percent;
| sales tax. When the sales tax was
first enacted by the last General
Assembly the promise was both ex
pressed and implied that it would
only be a temporary measure to get
the state out of the red; this could
be accomplished within two years,
according - to the promise of the pro
motors of the iniquitous measure.,
which by bribery, cajolery and
threats was finally passed. Now the
big Tobacco Companies, the Public
Utilities ard other corporations arc
straining every nerve to perpetuate
this grave injustice to the people,
put upon their shoulders by as
'cowardly General Assembly as ever
I disgraced the state. Not only are
1 they trying to elect a General As
sembly in the June primary favora
ble to their schemes but it is ru
mored the sales tax rate will be in
creased to five percent in place of
' the present three percent rate. Cer
tain state politicians are also giving
aid and comfort to this nefarious
sche’ .ie and unless the people wake
up a id defeat the scheme, no living
man or woman in this state will
ever -ee this law repealed. The ad
ministration of this law has been a
shame and disgrace to the state of
; North Carolina. If those who have
{he enforcement of the law in
charge had set out with the deliber
rt“ purpose to make it both obnox
i jous and unpopular they could not
! have succeeded more admirably
'than they have. The law is the most
j unpopular law that was ever writ
ten on the statute books. People are
icussirg it from one end of the state
to the other and the only friends of
the measure are the small army of
inefficient parasites who were se-
I lected by that monumental mass of
i brains. Dr. Noble, to administer the
j law. If the cowards and spineless
members of the last General As
sembly had kept the solemn promis
es they made the people in the pri
; mary campaign, big business would
' have been taxed sufficiently to sup
j port the state government and ev
ery little poor and starving person
|in the Commonwealth would not
have been robbed by the govern
ment to pay the just taxes the cor
porations were relieved of by the
1 sales tax. With more than a hun
, dred million dollars of net profits
admitted by the four leading To
i bacco companies staring them in
the face the legislature went ahead
at the suggestion of big business
and robbed the baby’s bank by pass
‘ ing a sales tax. A large number of
those brazen legislative traitors are
getting ready to run again in the
June primary. If the people support
| them again in the face of their
I known record of broken promises
they will richly deserve any injus
tice inflicted on them. It is both un
j wise and dangerous to trust a
crooked politician more than once.
If you do he will take it as a license '
to deceive’you more cruelly the next
time. Some m< n stood true to the
tax right, Dr.
