(Ehr Zrimlmt Sternrii VOLUME TEN ZEBULON,NORTH CAROLINA, FRIDAY, JUNE TWENTY-NINTH, 1934 (•+++*!• ■F-F + ’F-I- 4* jrms, that i AND THE OTHER! T * + + * t By MRS. THEO. B. DAVIS £ f ♦ ++++++++++-i- *j* *i» -i- »i* ;«•> •: I n a recent publication I read that no man is really educated un less he has the desire to share hit knowledge by using it to help oth ers. Maybe I have been too hard on those persons who insist upon giving advice upon any and every subject. But if we are really interested in the welfare of others, it is hard not to give advice; hard to keep from remonstrance when we see them making what we think are mistakes; hard to merely let them all alone. Probably one great reason that mothers-in-law are so dreaded is that they are so deeply anxious for the young folks to make a succes. in every phase of life —though a part of it may be plain bossiness. It pays to advertise. 1 honestly believe that statement. Two week:, ego I said in this column I hoped to have an herb garden some day. On Monday after the paper was published Mrs. T. Y. Puryear, our Pleasant Hill correspondent, sen* me som e thyme plants for that garden, with some flower slips. The thyme was so sweet I pinched oil' some of the shoots to put in a vast on the table. Then a few days lat er came a card from Gladys Baker, on an R. F. D. route, saying she { has borage, dill, catnip, tansy, flag, spearmint, sweet fennel, sweet ba sil and summer savory—and will divide with me. I am delighted and shall go out ther e just as soon as possible. Down at Hilliard’s pond I found pennyroyal, some of which I brought home and set out. Almost before you know it that herb garden will be flourishing. A-' regards further donations for it, my name is Jimmy. Pennyroyal, as you may already know, will keep fleas away from the cat’s box, if sprigs of it are placed therein fairly often. And it or the extract will kill fleas in the fur of any animal. But, if used, don’t make the mistake we did once with our collie. Scrubbing her with the penyroyal infusion, we began on her body. The fleas rush ed toward her head and into her ears. She simply went crazy. 1 thought she and the children were all going to have fits. After that we carefully put the pennyroyal around her ears first to drive the pests from them before putting her into the tub. Os cours e there are a good many other remedies for fleas, but one doesn’t mind smell-. ing pennyroyal and it is not greasy. Doesn’t thinking of herbs remind you of the ancient Jews, tithing | mint and anise and cummin? —Mr. and Mrs. J. Howard Bunn! and daughter, Margaret, who weer : called several weeks ago to Eliz- j abethtown to be with. Mrs. Bunn’s mother, Mrs. F.a C. McLeod, dur ing her critical illness and subse quent death, have returned home. . Learn to see in another’s calam ity the ill* which you should avoid. J —Publin* Syrus. TIIE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. Democrats Have a Great Convention Th e Democratic State convention held in Raleigh on last Thursday was largely attended. Speeches were made by Senators Reynolds and Bailey, Hon. Cameron Morri son, Ambassador Daniels, Harold Cooley and others. Mor e than 3,000 were in the auditorium, which was partially cooled by several tons of ice in the ventilating system. Har mony was said to be greatly in ev idence. The platform adopted endorsed state and national administrations, pledged support to the schools and favored increase of teachers’ sala ries as soon as possible, called for study of plans of unemployment insurance and old age pensions. Th e New- Deal was lauded. No mention was made of the liquor problem nor of the sales tax. Bootlegging Gasoline An effort is being made in this state to stop the importation of gas from Virginia. The fact that gasoline costs fiv e or six cents more to the gallon in N. C. than in Va. causes the trouble. After ihis it will be unlawful to come across the border with more than is in the tank of the car, and offi cers will try to see that none is smuggled in. Those found carry ing more than the amount allowed w ill be required to pay the tax as sessed in this state. Negro Lynched In the North Manchester, Mass. June 26.—A 9 negro man was accused of strik ing a white man who intruded at an ice cream supper given by ne groes. Reports said a number of whit e men w’ent to the festival to break it up. One of them cursed Dick Wilkerson, negro farm hand and felled him with a club. A few hours later his body was found in an oat field. It had been stripped of clothing, shot four times and beaten with an axe. Eight men have been arrested for lynching the negro. And this happend in the North.

MITCHELL E. M. THOMPSON J. SHERWOOD UPCHURCH W. BRANTLEY WOMBLE REVIVAL CONTINUES AT BAPTIST CHURCH Revival services have been in progress at tne Zebulon Baptist church since Sunday. Services aie held twice each day, 8:00 o’clock in the morning and evening. Rev. Sam 1. Habel, pastor of the Nash ville Baptist church, is doing the preaching. Mr. Habel is a young man and is an earnest preacher. Considering the unusual hot weath er and the rush of work among the tanners, the attendance has been good. The meetings naturally are han dicapped by the absence of Pastor lleiring t'ucsday. He was taken ill rather suddenly Tuesday and! was not able to attend the serv ices. At this time he is somewhat better. The meetings will continue thiough next Sunday. I). V. B. S. Final The closing exercises of the Daily \ acation Bible School were | held o n Monday night just before |: h e preaching service, and greatly ■ pleased the audience. Grouped b.s ! departments and directed by Mrs. ji. E. Bunn, Mrs. Iscar Strickland I and Mrs. Raymond Pippin, with Miss Inez Pitts at the piano, the children gave Bible drills, stories memory verses and scrips with promptness and precision. Tin-re were 115 enrolled in the school with an average attendance of 88. An enjoyable feature of last week was a picnic on Friday at Lake Myra. Certificates w r ere given to all who attended with gold stars for perfect attendance. The faculty of the school wish to again express their appreciation for th e co-operation by the com munity. Milk, ice, lemonade, cars for taking the children to the pic nic were all furnished without cost, and were gratefully accepted. Fidelis Class Meeting Mis. Buck Fuller delightfully en tertained the Fidelis class of Wake field Baptist church at the month ly business meeting in her home near Louisburg. Miss Jane Hoyle sang “A Hymn of Thanks” by E. Kettern. Mrs. A. S. Bridgcrs told about the Associational meeting at Flat Rock. Officers for the com ing year were elected. After the business session Mrs. P. P. Pace entertained the class with several musical selections. Following the music the hostess invited the class into the dining roomwwheer e sh< served them iced tea and sand wiches. She was asXted in serv ing by her sisters, Misses Mar garet and Savon Eddins. The din- ! ing room was lovely in its delicate color scheme of green and white. The Central Circle of the Baptist W.M. S. met on Tuesday p. m., in! the home of Mis. F. E. Bunn, with seven present. Mrs. A. S. Hinton j presided over the business session., The day’s topic was the sam e as) that discussed by the Northside. circle and was presented b v Mrs.| T. B. Davis. It was decided to take a mission study book at circle meetings. During a pleasant socia’ hour the hostess served iced tea and sandwiches. The next meeting will be in the home of Mrs. Cockrell. lime Limit Is Extended For lagging Cotton Cotton which was harvested and ginned before June 1, 1934, may be transported or sold before July 1 without bale tags, but theieaftei all cotton must be tagged before it can be moved or sold. The time for tagging had ori ginally been set for June 1, but an extension was granted at the re quest ot AAA authorities. Cotto n ptoduced and ginned be lore June 1 will not be subject to: die 50 per cent Bank head tax nut must be tagged and accounted | lor just the same as cotton pro- tins year, according to Dean i. O. Schaub of State College. The tags will show w r ho produc ed the cotion and when and where Taxable cotton will be so marked. Exempt cotton will be tagged a to show that it was either produc ed before June 1 or else came with in the allotment of the grower. Application blanks for bale tag have been supplied most of th< county agents. Growers with cotton should fill out th e blanks and tin agents will send a man around in a lew days to tag their cotton. The dean also pointed out tha. a number of growers have been confused by the figures sent tTiem in the notic e accompanying their rental checks. Many seem to think that the “farm allotment” refers to the amount of cotton they may raise this year. Such is not the case, the “farm allotment,” or “domestic allotment’’ is that portion of the normal crop that has been sold u'ithin the Unit ed States in average years. The portion was figured at 40 per cent ox' the average production of the base period. This 4U per cent is the amount of cotton on whi< h the government is making parity payments of not less than one cent a pound to grow ers who signed reduction contracts. New CCC Ruling Enrollment for CCC work last year was based on the promise of the applicant to send home $25.00 of the monthly cash wages. That same promise must be made this year, with the additional proviso that none of the money sent home is to be returned to the sender Boys in camp are furnished sc much free that they are said to need little money to spend and the fact that many families have sent bai k to them the money the boy~ j were supposed to contribute to family support meant that many unnecessary things were bought. Radios, golfing equipment and fishing tackie made some camps, look more like pleasure than places of work. And the CCC boys are employed as a part of the relief program, which makes such spending highly inconsistent. Chicken Thief H. Spicer, of Narows, Va., de clares that bullfrogs have stolen a number of his frying-size chickens,! diving wi*h them into the water of a pond at the edge of the chick en yard. Draining the pool reveal ed 12 chickens at the bottom and! 40 frogs were killed. ' Patronize our advertisers. YE FLAPDOODLE By The Swashbuckler (CENSORED, B’ HECK) Vote lor Cooley On July 7th The congiesaiuiiul primary is ov er; ilie real election approaches. A special election lor the ahort term lias been caned lor July 7 liuiurday ot next week. liui 01U D. Cooley is the Demo cratic nominee and it is expected that every good Democrat will go to the polls July 7 and vote lor him. There are no l J ou Democrats or Zoilicoffer or Cooley Democrats in this election. All are, or should be, just Democrats —loyal to the nominee of the party and zealous to cast a vote for him. It is easy to say that the district is safely Democratic and that one more vote won’t make any differ ence. it every Democrat in the dis trict takes that attitude the district will not be Democratic at all. A good man is running on the Repuo lican ticket and some sections of thelourth district will give him a majority. The Couiier-Journal urges all its and vote. Give the new congress readers to go to the polls July 7 man a vote which will assure him prestige in Washington. It won’t do Harold Cooley any good, but it will greatly benefit the district by enabling him to serve his constit uents better. And while thinking about the special election July 7, don’t forget the second primary in Wake county tornorow —June 30. Full legislative delegation and a solicitor must be named. Copy of the official ticket will be found elsewhere in this paper. Revenue Offices To Greensboro Raleigh, June 26.—An effort ha 3 been mad e for sometime to move the U. S. Revenue office from Ra leigh to Greensboro. At last it has been accomplished and the of fice will be moved July 15. The office force comprises about 85 em ployees including the field force and the payroll means considerable money to be spent in the city fa vored with its location! Greensboro has a new postoffice building that has ampl e space to acommodate the revenue depart ment. Raleigh’s postoffice is al ready crowded and for sometime efforts have been made to secure an appropiiation to enlarge it. This change of the revenue depart ment means that the postoffice in Raleigh will not need to be en larged at this time. NUMBER 1
