THE ZEBULON RECORD, ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, THE TENTH OF JULY, 1936. THE ZEBULON RECODR Member North Carolina Press Association Published every Friday By THE RECORD PUBLISHING COMPANY Zebulon, N. C. THEO. B. DAVIS Editor Entered as second-class mail matter June 26 1925, at the Postoffice at Zebulon, North Care lina. Subscription Rates: One Year $1.00; Six Months 60c; Three Months 40c. AH Subscriptions Due and Payable in Advance. Advertising Rates: Local 25c per column inch. Foreign 35c per column inch. Death notices as news, First publication free. Obituaries, tributes, cards of thanks, published at a minimum charge of 12Vic per column inch. “It pays to advertise,” especially in coun try newspapers. We believe that Horton for Lieutenant-governor, Eure for Secretary of State and Geo. Ross Pou for State Auditor, owe their nominations to the publicity given them by country newspapers more than to any other cause. o OUR NAME’S JIMMIE o Selassie is asking the League of Nations to loan him the small sum of fifty millions dol lars. If he succeeds, we would like to put in our application for a small loan of a few millions, too. o FREE LIQUOR o Over in Edgecombe county its ABC stores are distributing samples of liquor which the grand jury in its report condemns. The Board replied that they had no evidence of “improper use” of samples. Shades of Satan! Pray tell us what would be the improper use of sample liquor? To whom would it be proper to give li quor? And why is it proper for the county to be giving appetite whetters to men and women in order to induce them to buy liquor? We believe the State or county engaged in selling its citi zens intoxicating drink is engaged in a damnable business and when it begins distributing samples of the cursed stuff it is also in a damning busi ness. f * * RACKETS o We learned in the old blue back speller that “Little boys love to make a great racket,” But it seems that well nigh everybody these times loves a racket and the greater it is the better they like it especially if the racket sounds like money. Bu these modern rackets are not so noisy except for hired racketeers’ spouting mel odramic mercy for their clients. Among the best rackets after kidnaping’s hav ing fallen into hard times, are damage suits, au tomobile accidents, breach of promise, malprac tice against physicians, insurance disability and others in swaddling clothes.

Finch has just re turned from visiting her daughter, ment’s program and procedure has been a sort of racket and no doubt the fertile minds of those criminally inclined have found much to suggest profitable ideas in gaining a livelihood by foul rather than by fair means. o dr. McDonald o Everybody appreciates a good fighter and no one can deny that Dr. McDonald is a fighter and a good one. In his campaign he has learned how to make a political speech. We hope he has also learned that a candidate must present facts and not guesses and attack policies and not per sons. He has many admirable qualities and if he shows sense, which he appears to possess, in the next few years, he is destined to fill a large place in public life in his adopted state. He lacked that seasoning in citizenship and experience in state craft so essential to success in public life. Here’s wishing the doctor better luck the next time. o EVERYBODY’S BUSINESS—In Zebulon o There is an old saying that everybody’s bus iness is nobody’s business. We have heard it said that certain moral conditions in Zebulon are not the preacher’s business. His is to preach the Gospel. It is not the business of the editor of the local newspaper. His is to give the news. And almost every citizen when approached will tell you that it is not his business. But there are conditions existing in our community that are everyone’s business if he is at all concerned in our having a clean respectable town. Just ask one casually about drinking among prominent citizens and he will tell you that they may be seen publicly tanked up fre quently. Ask him about gambling in the pool rooms and he will probably tell you that a pool room cannot be operated without gambling and that locally players require the “Keely cure” pills for stimulating rest and rebuilding empty purses. They will even give you names of men who have lost or won more in an hour or so than they make in a whole day. Men have been heard to use the worst sort of language on the street in the presence of wo men whom we believe to be ladies. Something ought to be done about these matters. As to whether it is done depends on our town officials and the citizens behind them. This paper was against pool rooms from the very first mention of their operation, but agreed to wait and see if they were to be free from gambling before ac tively opposing them. And in less than three months reports were being circulated that gamb ling was going on and that the operator himself was profiting through the “jug”. We reported this to a town official, but so far as we know nothing was done about it. To us, once a citizen in the community blam ed the preachers and old women for his not be ing able to get good liquor in Zebulon. We feel ourselves complimented by being in this class. We are sure the preachers will turn aside from their business of preaching the Gospel long enough to endorse our stand against these things. And we believe, too, that we can count on the good women of this town to give not only their approval but their active support of a con concerted move on the part of the best people of Zebulon to rid our community of evil and ques tionable things. Mr. Mayor, Town Board, Citizens—what do we propose to do about it? In the words of one of old we say to our fellow citizens: “Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? If it be, give me thy hand .. . Come with me and see . ” Mrs. John Daniels, at Elm City. Mrs. A. C. Summer of Rocky Mount returned Sunday with Miss S. D.
