Washington Current Comment A short time Col., Dreyfus died in Paris at 76 years of age. He was tibe hero of the ce’ebrated Dreyfus case in France, though his hero’® laurels came late. The public in yeneral has forsrotten what it was all about, but 40 years aro the Dreyfus case was impor tant enough to fill newspaper pag es the world over. His alleeed of fense was selling military secrets. In *be wild r«rt r y of misdire' pa triotism thr»* attended his '•onvic tion the free u®e of euch terms as ,TpV’ and Cerman Viod ■> "ood deal to do rn+h hie pvj]» so Tc lard Col. Drpvfus fin 0 ! 1 ’ - wa« par doned and restored to his former boners, and the man who dug up evidence his innocence wa c rais ed to a hmh place in the French «.r*vprnmeet. After all. it was a French affair, and why bother about it now? The answer is found in the circumstance that any na tion which is sure that a particular crucifixion, prompted by public dlamor is deed rieht and complete ly justified, max have something to take back later on. The President late’y paid $3.50 for a government hook that he wanted. No one would have be grudged him a free copv, but there were ”o free copies fe** anyone, and "anyone” included the Chief Executive. Gratuitous distribution of public property has given rise to amusing incidents in the past. When seeds were handed out gratis boiler makers in cities, who never were out of sight of cobble pave ments and brick walls, used to get of prize oats, and a Repre sentative in Congress recalls that he was once asked for a book hea vy enough to hold a door open.

Before any thing serious happens, an ex-foot hall player who to be standing by downs the bandit with a flying tackle and the police take the next step. Collegiate education continues to come in handy. Hog Killed Lightning played the role of ex ecutor on Wednesday of last week when it killed a hog belonging to Mr. John W. Acree near Spring Hope It happened as both t.he hogs in that pen were lying near the wire fen e. the lightening evidently striking the fence first, jumping to one hog. killing it. and injuring the other. The loss was very much regret ted by Mr. Acree for he had hoped to have two prize hogs by the fall, the one killed weighing around 250 pounds. Your Life at Stake During 1934 accidents of all kinds caused 101,000 deaths - the highest total on record—in addition to almost 10,000,000 non-fatal in juries. The total cost of these accidents including wage loss medical ex pense and property damage, was $3,500,000,000. Accidents are responsible for more deaths to persons between the ages of five and nineteen than any other cause. Among persons of all ages, only three diseases result in more deaths than do accidents. These are facts that should make the public pause, think and remember. The waste of accidents, both in lives and materials, is com plete and irrevocable. It cannot be repaired. And is is almost entirely unnecessary. Os all the forms of accidents, those caused by the automobile are of course the most serious. Be tween 1913 and 1934 motor veh: le (\eathj| incread'xj from 4i227 to 36,000 a year while other kinds of accidents dropped from 78,233 to 65,000. That is largely due to the increased number of cars in use— but the fact remains that at pres ent motor accidents per thousand gallons of gasoline consumed, are on the rise. The reckless driver is becoming more reckless—the in competent driver is becoming still more of a menaoe to all who use the streets and highways. The au tomobile accident record is in strik ing contrast to that of industry, which has made magnificent prog ress in reducing both the severity and frequency of accidents in even the most hazardous factory opera tions. The war on accidents is every citizen’s war, and every citizen Rhould "join the colors.” Thousands | of lives, to say nothing of billions : of dollars are at stake—and your | life and your dollars are among them. Lo aj Republicans are perking up mightily these days. The result i f the Rhode Island election, over whelmingly Republican, and the I fact that a Democratic governor in ' Ohio will not call a special election to fill a vacancy in one of the t-ori gressmen-at-large seats gives the Republicans ’an idea that the New Deal is on the run. One of them declared a day or two ago that the Republican* next time will carry every state east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio. That will Lack only about 20 votes of enough to elect a president. And they ex jxet to get them in the far west Gentlemen no longer prefer blondes. So says a beauty parlor expert in Oiicago. Dark hair and tions. eyebrows are now more popular. Election of James E. Warren as president of the Southern Bell Tel ' phone Company is further proof that this is a land of unlimited op portunity. Warren started with the <• mpany 20 years ago as a stenog rapher.

Mining: Copper prices recently took a sharp drop, following the elimination of NRA price fixing. Silver values also declined lately due to the Treasury’s refusal to buy additional silver stocks in large quantities.

The Farm and Field list has been changed some as well as the Horti cultural List and others. The Fancy Work and Canned Goods have also been changed to meet 1936. Any kind of a glass one quart or pint jar can be used this year in the canning department, and jams can be shown in small glasses. The Baking Department is carrying some extra good premiums this year and we hope that we can get a real showing in this Booth. Flow er booths we hope will be big as last year this department was one of the finest the writer has ever seen, that is this fair and Wendell Fair. Mr. Cummings of Raleigh who wa* a visitor at our fair last year said that the flower exhibits were the best he had ever seen and as Mr. Cummings is a traveling salesman and he used t» be in the show business making fairs, should know his flowers. We hope to make the Fancy Work Booth larger and better and as to the canned goods let’s put on a real display this year. You ladies harve plenty of time to get real exhibits ready, so let’s all work together and stage a real one. If you fail to get a premium book let the office know at once and one will be mail ed to you. MAN WANTED for Rawleigh Route of 800 families. Write to day. Rawleigh, Dept. NCH-176- SA, Richmond, Va. 8-30 ZEBULON, NORTH CAROLINA GOODYEARS? TOBACCO CURING NICELY Tobacco farmers are generally pleased with the way tobacco is “curing out.” In some instances ex cessive rains early in July followed by drouth have damaged the qual ity of the weed, but for tihe most part it is fine. Prices hold up well on the Geox-, gia and South Carolina markets. Farmers in Wake county are opti mistic over prospects for the fall. Cotton growers in eastern North Carolina are reporting heavy in festations of boll weevils on low lands Some of the cotton on high fieds shows a slight damage. Employment: Has gained 60 per cent in heavy industries since March 1933, shown a lesser advance ir consumer industries. The unem ployed are now estimated at about nine million. Industrial Activity: Has fooled the forecasters by holding up bet ter this year than was anticipated. Was at 85 per cent of the 1923-25 average in May, and the first half of 1935 was five per cent better than the same period last year.
