®hr Zrhulmt ?Rrrnri» THE FOUR-COUNTY NEWSPAPER—WAKE, JOHNSTON, NASH AND FRANKLIN. VOLUME 10 llilS, THAI .AED THE OTHER By Mrs. THEO. B. DAVIS Not long: afro when I was so sick they sent for a doctor I tried by giving- symptons to help him diag nose the case. 1 told him about a square shaped pain in my head and explained that in addition to being square it had sharp edges and came to a point at the top. And instead of being glad of «uch defi nite description he laughed at me and said he never had heard of the shape of a pain. • 1 was amazed. I had felt sure all doctors know some pains are slender and keen, some are three cornered with jagged edges, some are round and burning hot and some are heavy and dull and shaped somewhat like the rocks we used to call niggerheads. And then there is pain too big for a human body to hold, so it holds the body. It takes you and twists you and wrings you until you are too weak to struggle any more and sort of float up toward the ceiling. That kind is like ocean waves when a strong w'ind is blowing. Strange that doctors are not taught about them all. Not being one of those infallible persons who know how everything ought to be done and what will happen if things are not done as they should be. I am often bewild ered even W'hen trying my hardest to understand. Right now I am making an honest effort to com prehend the reasoning of those who want our state to go into the liquor business. When they announce that the eighteenth amendment did not stop drunkeness I sadly agree When they declare that we shall always have those w r ho are deter mined to have their liquor I am compelled to admit that it seems true. When they assert that to pro hibit anything creates a desire for it I still follow the argument, al beit at a little distance. But when they claim that legalized liquor will put an end to bootlegging I just don’t see what on earth they mean. There is nothing in any his tory I ever studied to prove such a thing nor is there anything in human nature to lend it credibility. Os course the legislature would not have paid the slightest atten tion to me, but I could have told them beforehand that an earnest young Baptist preacher who feels called of the Lord to say certain words is seldom to be turned aside by expediency, is prone to speak with regard to principle and not prudence, and had best not be call ed upon to pray for lawmakers who do not feel that they are standing in the need of prayer. Such preach ers, who have seen a vision and have heard a Voice, are pressing onward and upward in away that causes them frquently to step on the toes of travelers not going in the identical direction as they. With their minds on the next world and their bodies in this they may at times become a bit confused as to what belongs to time and what ZEBITLON.

Raleigh Retains Commission Plan By voters who went to the polls i on Tuesday in Raleigh it was de ■ cided to retain for that city the present form of city government instead of changing to the city manager plan. The campaigns for and against change were rather heated at times, and the majority in favor of retaining the commis sion plan was too small to be very encouraging to its supporters. Corruption is charged by both sides and it is said by some that a fair vote would have shown a close race. Many citizens did not vote. to eternity and they maintain a pace that strains the spiritual mus cles of those wha would journey with them. Do not say that they are possesed of an ideal; an ideal possesses them. They are difficult at times; but only the Lord knows what He has wrought through them. GENERAL NEWS BRIEFLY TOLD WAR IN CUBA Cuba is again in the midst of fighting, a state of war having been declared by President Men dieta. In the conflict between the established government and radi cals there have been many deaths, the business of the island is large ly at a standstill and the greater part of the population remains as closely as possible. UNUSUAL BEQUEST Oliver Wendell Holmes, formerly Supreme Court Justice, who died at the age of 94, left the greater part of his property, about $300,- 000, to the United States govern ment. He left no special directions for its use and it will be turned in to the general fund. Evidently Mr. Holmes bore for his country a gen uine affection serving in life and in death. BONDS BOUGHT The United States Treasury an nounced that in the first eight days after they were offered for sale $15,000,000 worth of the new “baby bonds’’ were bought. New York City led in the sales with Memphis ahead of all other southern cities. The maturity value of the bonds will be about one-third more than their cost price. MURDER IN RALEIGH On Friday morning of last week J. J. Wilson, 65 year old merchant of Raleigh, was killed in his store on Davie Street. Ray Blalock, young ex-convict, has been arrest ed charged with the murder. Bla lock, who had been drinking had been ordered from the store a short while before the storekeep er was killed. STRONG WIND SWEEPS STATE From Asheville to Elizabeth City come reports of suffering and dam age caused by unusually strong winds on Tuesday of this week. The property loss was mainly con fined to the eastern part of the state whdre houses were blown down or unroofed and many people were hurt. The tin roof of the teacherage at the Odd Fellows Or phanage was blown off. The section idjacent to Elizabeth City had trees blown down and several houses practically demolished. The wind was accompanyed by heavy rains in the east and by sleet and snow in the west. Although the wind was strong in this community on Tuesday and caused discomfort no damage has been reported. Rain on Tuesday p. m. was heavy. Detour The work of pouring asphalt ov er the surface of the newly widen ed road between Zebulon and Wen dell has caused motorists to be compelled to detour. Turning to the dirt road which bears to the right away from the hard surfaced high way at the western edge of Zeb ulon cars proceed to Edgemont, just beyond Hephzibah Church, where they again enter the high way. He serves his party best who serves his country best. New Ice Plant Mr. R. H. Bridgers began manu facturing ice in his new & thorough ly modern plant this week. He has the very latest equipment for mak ing and storing ice and is now prepared to supply Zebulon and all the nearby towns and country com munities with jice foir all their needs. Church News PARTY FOR PUPILS The Sunday School classes taught by Mrs. Fred Page, Mrs. A. R. House, Mrs. W. D. Finch and M. M. Faison with any other pupils in Methodist Sunday school who are over 12 years old will be given a St. Patrick’s Day party on next Saturday night in the Woman’s Club. Beginning at eight o’clock this promises to be an occasion of much pleasure to those attending. The teachers will be in charge and hope every one of their pupils will be present. The general meeting of the Bap tist W. M. S. was held on Monday p. m. in the church. Mrs. Herring president, announced that the G. A. would have charge of the pro pram, which was the first of a se ries observing the week of prayer. After devotional service con ducted by Margaret Watson and a story on Prayer by Margaret Bunn, Eunice Outlaw spoke on Christian Education, and was fol lowed by Frankie Hall. Taking part in an exercise showing the pre eminence of the Banner of Christ were Cornelia Herring, Christine Conn, Dorothy Conn, Kay Kemp and Sarah Brown. The Methodist W. M. S. met on Monday p. m. at the church with Mrs. F. D. Finch directing the pro gram. The subject for the day was The Old Gospel Trail. The New Gospel Trail. New Enterprise For Zebulon A fertilizer mixing plant will soon be in operation in Zebulon. The old two-story wholesale gro cery building beyond Winstead’s blacksmith shop will be used. Machinery, we understand, will be installed very soon so as to supply the farmers locally with fertilizer this season. Th * plant is being installed by the Home Fer tilizer and Chemical Company of Baltimore. It will require a mini mum of 16 men to operate it. So many qggs were taken to the Zebulon hatchery last Monday that Mr. Massey was compelled to re fuse to take those brought by a half-dozen of the later comers. Ev ery tray was filled and the big in cubator is running at full capacity. At this season there is quite a de mand for custom hatching and it might be well to have a tray re served, if you want to be sure of not being left out. REASONABLE OFFER Pittman Stell, Wake County sur veyor makes a reasonable offer to farmers having tobacco land to survey. He offers to survey and make a plat of each lot for as low as $3.00. NUMBER 36 4-Countv Vocal UuniontobeHeld At Wakelon H. S. On the first Sunday in March the vocal union of this section was held at Corinth church near Cor inth-Holder school. A large number of churches were represented, some coming from near Four Oaks. The singing was unusually good. 500 or more people gathered to hear solos, quartettes, and choruses sung. The next union will be held in the afternoon of the first Sunday in June in the Wakelon Hight School auditorium. It will accomo date 1000 people, and it is expected to be filled. Any choir within reach is invited to come and sing. Just send your name to Arthur Lewis, Zebulon Rt. 1, or to the Zebulon Record and you will be listed for the singing on the first Sunday in June. The Legislature A bill to give owners of slot ma chines till May 1 has passed the legislature. They cannot be legally used in the meantime, but this ex tension of time is to allow them to dispose of them. A bill has been introduced to make the penalty for carrying con cealed weapons from SSO to S2OO or 30 days to two years imprison ment to SSOO to SIOOO fine, or 6 months to 2 years imprisonment. A bill has been introduced to al low the judge to order a defendent to be flogged in the jail yard in the presence of two witnesses. From 10 to 30 lashes on the bareback may be laid on with a strap from 1 to 3 inches wide and not over 3 feet long. No doubt in some cases this will be much more salutory than imprisonment and the family of the offender may have the support of the person as well as the public will escape the expense of keep. The bill to replace the sales tax has not yet been offered, and it is likely the present sales tax with some modification will hold for the next two years. The Hill bill to provide state con trolled liquor stores has been of fered. It may pass the Senate but doubtless will fail in the House. Peculiar Accident As Rev. C. L. Read and Mrs. Read were going to Kittrell on Fri day of last week their car was considerably damaged in a peculiar accident. They iwere about two miflds from Kittrell at a jfiaoe where the highway is built up. Down on the level a Negro was cutting a tree which fell just as the Read car was passing. Branch es of the tree broke through the hood of the car, the radiator was ruined and the occupants were for tunate in escaping personal injury. They managed to reach their des tination where Mrs. Read address ed the women of the misionary so ciety of the Methodist church and Mr. Read hunted up a repair man to patch up his car so that they might make the return trip. Fine stables do not make good horses.—Spurgeon. Hot words prevent cool judgment.
