THE ZEBU LON RECORD, ZEBU LON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY. NINTH DAY OF AUGUST, 1935. Snaps And Shots "Governor on death row; state officials wait”—Headline in News and Observer. We’ve heal’d Franklin county Had it in for the Governor, but did not know is was that bad. If the chief executive insists on Franklin doing it legally why shuld he ob ject to taking his own medicine. Buy why the other boys, what have they been doing? Senator Reynolds Rambles Round—News reports say that just as soon as Sen. Reynolds gets out of Congress that/ he will tour the country speaking against com munism. We wonder if he will travel in the old gas wagon used in cam paigning over North Carolina when running for the Senate. Since we have no depression and he needs no votes at present, what’s the use? Better go in style, Senator. What Will You Have To Drink- An exchange says: “It can be hop ed that the Supreme Court will at least expedite these differences (be tween the Wet-- and Drys) of emo tions and passion and and let us know how and what we are to drink at the earliest possible mo ment”. Most »f us already know how and what we are going to drink and are drinking it. As for us, wa tre, milk, coffee and a number of old-fashioned drinks are good enough. Mark Twain in his auto biography said he drank all he wanted whenever he felt like, for he had found plenty of good "water had never hurt anybody. Young and Old Representatives- When the Young Democrat's met in Raleigh sometime ago a report er said among his first statements: "One observes the presence of rep resentatives of large liquor houses * * * The young democrats are not enemies of these interests.” If this statement be true may the good Lord deliver us from the next generation of law makers and office holders. The older of us feel like crying with the prophet of old: "Watchman, what of the night?” Something is terribly wrong in our woy of thinking when liquor interests are given first place in reporting a young citizens’ meeting and the statement is made that those citizens are friendly to this curse of the race. ABC and Soforth —The alpha bet begins with a b c. So do the initials of the new name for cam ourflaging liquor. The alphabet ends with A, or “and so forth. * That’s it, A B C—alcoholic bever age control and so forth, and so forth, and so forth. . The Faith of a Fool— Tuesday’s papers told about another preacher with more zeal of a sort than sense letting a rattler bite him on the hand. He said before that faith in God would keep the snake from hurting him. After being bitten he «aid his own prayer and the pray ers of h« members bad saved his life. Now there is not such a differ ence between faith and prayer, but IF that preacher had faith to be lieve that God would not let the snake hurt or the poison kill him, why pray over it at all ? Over zeal and the footlights and ignorance cause "fools to rush in where an gels fear to tread.” From Warrenton— "Prominent Methodist. Baptist and Episcopal ian laymen were seen leaving the , store with their spirituous frumen- j ti in small paper bags.” Now we do not question the prominence and standing of these "brethren” in their churches and communities, but we have an idea that they are quite unimportant and of low standing with the founder of the Christian church. ————— # New News from Tarboro— Tar boro, July 30—City Court Judge Jas. R. Keech bad four white men arraigned in his court Monday charged with being drunk and dis orderly. They were required to pay fines. This is a bit of news we do not j recall anything like it from TaT boro in a quarter of a century. * Better read it, for next year it will | be such a common occurrence that even the local paper may not pub lish it. Special School Tax Defeated, Kinston 1 ■ ; The first special tax election for supplementing schools to he held in this state in several months was ; held at Kinston Tuesday. Voting j resulted in a substantial defeat of the supplemetary tax. ; Big Bovs Unload i : | The big stockholders in some of , the biggest corporations are un ' loading their stock. Whether they see that the utilities bill may be followed by similar legislation af fecting all holding companies, or ; whether they just like to trade a j little once in a while the fact is j that they are quietly converting | their holdings into cash. I Fuquay Manager Goes to Roxboro James C. Harris for the past two years town manager at Fu quay Springs, has acecpted appoint ment to a similar position at Rox boro and will leave for his new place next week. Mr. Harris has made quite a reputation as a town administrator and his call to Rox- J boro is a distinct promotion. ■■ ■' Sanatorium To Be Near Black Mtn. The committee appointed for the proposed tubercular sanatorium in prposed tubercular sanatorium in Western North Carolina, reports ( its location near Black Mountain in Buncombe county. Half a dozen communities waited the hospital, offering substantial money gifts. The committee, however, felt that Black Mountain was the best. The construction will begin soon. i —— » Teachers to Get 20 per cent Raise Announcement come® from the State Board of Education that the school teachers in North Carolina will get their full 20 per cent sala ry incease so the whole term. It is presumed that the money will be taken from the emergency fund. This was the suggestion made a few weeks ago by Dr. Ralph Me- J Donald to Governor Ehringhaus. Mitchell Comes to The County Jail Marvin Mitchell, under death sentence for the killing of Ros« Teague, has been moved from the death row at state prison to the county jail, pending outcome of his appeal to the supreme court L. S. Braßsfield Mitchell’s attorney, last week won his fight to have his client removed from death row j - Properly Stowed Bags Add to Comfort - Hr ?

In the upper left view, the suitcases have beer fitted in snugly, the adjustable front seat having been moved forward to allow extra leeway, and the driver is now pushing back the seat to clamp tha bags in place for the day. Upper right, the tourist is utilising the baggage space back of the rear seat. The two lower pictures show the loading of a coupe compartment and a sedan trunk. ! Wind - Rain Storm i j The hottest spell for several , years, and what is said by some to 1 be the hottest spell ever, was bro ken on Wednesday afternoon, hav- I ing held sway since Friday of lart I week. i Official temperatures of 98 and 99 were recorded, while thermome ters placed in “hot spots” had the mecury soar up in the hundred and | thirties. Needless to say such wea l ther dried out the moisture from | the soil until corn had begun to curl and vegetables were parching, j Wednesday’s rain fell shortly as ! ter four o’clock accompanied by I lightning and wind. It was a relief , that no hail came. | Considerable damage was done to electrical wires and motors. Lamps and candles were at prem ium. In some sections corn was ! blown flat and tobacco leaves bad ly twisted. In the Record shop lightning played such havoc that 1 none of the machinery could be us ed again that day, causing delay ; in the regular schedule of work. 1 This is the main reason that, the Record is late this week. | ’ Birthday Dinner On last Sunday, August 4th, in honor of Mr. Green Ray, 66 years old, and Mrs. Green Ray. 60 years old, was given a surprise birthday idnner. • Those that enjoyed the dinner were Mr. and Mrs?

Soil Appropriation High Point, August 9—Official information received at the Soil Conservation Service offices in High Point confirms the report that five new soil erosion control demonstrati onal projects are to be set. up in North Carolina, and that the stale will be allotted $1,500,000 of the $27.000,0(H) now available I for soil erosion work, according to Dr. J. H. Stallings, regional direc tor of this Service in North Caro lina. The Soil Conservation Service which now operates projects cov ! ering 250,000 acren in Guilford, i Farsyth, Randolph, Union and An son counties, North Carolina, is to j establish new demonstrations] pro | jects in Alamance, Franklin, Rock- I ingham. Davidson and Mecklen burg counties, the report stated. Each of the ney projects in North Carolina is to embrace an i area of 25,000 acres, bringing the | total acreage in North Carolina that is to receive erosion control : i treatment up to approximately ; 376,000 acres. On this land set i aside for demonstrational work the individual farmers will be asked to cooperate in establishing a plan of eroson control and a system of agricultural development that will insure the conservation of the soil and the promotion of an organized agricultural program Selections of the new projects areas were based upon surveys made by experts of the Soil Con servation Service in North Caro lina and recommendation of certain college officials in Raleigh. Soil condtions, degree of erosion and the popular interest shown in the erosion control movement were studied in determining the loca tions of the new projects. Only 2 other states —Texas and Arizona—will receive greater ap propriations than North Carolina for this work. _ Tobacco Selling Good in Georgia The Georgia tobacco markets op | ened last Thursday. Prices paid are above the averages for last year, | ranging around 20 cents a pound, and Georgia farmers are happy. The South Carolina Border Belt markets are opening this week as this paper goes to press. Indica tions the first of the week were that heavy sales of good grade wouid be made on the opening and good prices are expected. Radio announcements say that the opening prices were from 22 to 44 cents a pound, and South Caro linians. are jubilant. Want to Recall 2 Cary Officials A movement is on foot at Cary for the recall of Mayor Addickes and Councilman Ranes. These two officials are charged with useless exfiravangance in {spending town money. To date not enough names have been secured on petitions to have the recall election.
