GENERAL NEWS RELIGIOUS FASTER Near Oak City, Tenn., on March 9, a mountaineer named Jackson Whitlow thought that God had bidden him to fast until further or ders were given. F'rom that time he refused to eat, declaring that the Lord gave him some special work to do and that he must pre pare for it by fasting. He now weighs less than 100 pounds, but steadfastly refuses food, except w r ater. For days he has been too weak to speak above a whisper, tho at the first of his fast he perform ed many of his regular tasks- He says God called him te fast, and it may be till death. MANY MISDIRECTED LETTERS When letters are not addressed so that they may be delivered they are sent to the dead letter office at Washington, and when possible are returned to the writers. But often this can not be done. During 1936 more than twelve billion pieces of misdirected mail went to the dead letter office. Many contained money and this was appropriated by the government in cases where the p roper owner could not be lo * cated. The United States treasu ry was made richer to the amount of $230,000 in this manner. A CHINESE IN AMERICA i Lin Yutang, highly educated Chinese, says in the Forum con cerning his experience in this country: ‘‘l do not justify my likes and d slikes, they are just personal.” Then he lists some. He likes the squirrels in the j parks; likes everything about the radio but its programs; likes hot dogs, but dislikes the company in which he usually finds, when eating them; loves the gor geous flowers grown here, but de-J tests the way they are arranged; likes good dinners, but abhors cock tail parties. He is. delighted at our * labor-saving devices, but hates folding beds; loves to see negro workers laughing and sporting, but feels deeply sorry for those who are serious. He thinks the trailer a logical development of a home from the apartment flat, and an effort to arrange things so that all members of the family may use the car at the same time. There is food for thought in his observations. ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE I * -" Having qualified as administra- j tor of the estate of O. B. Brannon, I deceased, late of Wake County, N.

Jefferson’s Birthday and Its Message By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic . “The whole art of government consists in the art of being honest .” This is one of the most famous utterances of Thomas Jefferson, au thor of the Declaration of Inde pendence, third President of the United States, and. in the words of a noted biographer, “the foremost expounder of the rights of man.” As, at this time, an entire nation observes the anniversary of his birth day, many other of his admonitions may well be recalled. Here are a few, whose value is as great today as when, in the early days of oar Re public, they were first uttered by one of the greatest of our Presi dents: Liberty: “Liberty is the great parent of science and of virtue; and a nation will be great in both in proportion as it is free.” “Our liberty depends on the free dom of the press, and that cannot be limited without being lost.” The Constitution: “I wish support from no quarter longer than my object candidly scanned shall merit it; and espe cially, not longer than I shall vigor ously adhere to the Constitution.” Respect for Law: “Laws made by common consent must not be trampled on by indi viduals.” “The voluntary support of laws, formed by persons of their own choice, distinguishes peculiarly the minds capable of self government.” Individual Enterprise: “Agriculture, manufactures com merce and navigation, the four pil lars of our prosperity, are the most thriving when left most free to in dividual enterprise.” Personal Rights: “It would be a dangerous delusion were a confidence in the men of our choice to silence our fears for the safety of our rights ” Economy in Government: “A rigid economy of the public contributions, and absolute interdic tion of all useless expenses, will go far towards keeping the government honest and unoppressive.” “I think we have more machinery of government than is necessary, too many parasites living on the labor of the industrious!” The People: “The will of the people Is the only legitimate foundation of any govern ment.” MOORE LIQUOR CHAIRMAN Cutler Moore, of Lumberton, has been appointed by Governor Hoey to the chairmanship of the State Liquor Commission. The position pays $6,000 a year. Moore says that he drinks beer only and voted dry in 1933. He was one of Gov. Hoey’s campagn managers last year “ The Pioneer”, Nashville high school annual lives up to its. name in that it is a mimeographed book that makes a very presentable ap pearance which looks very much like printing. All the work on the annual was done by students except the photo graphs which were taken by a pho tographer in Durham- - - «.

PINE FAT In addition to discovering away to make newsprint from the pulp of slash pines, Dr. Herty has dis covered that this pine has. a fat all through the wood. When this fat is removed the pulp is excellent for making even the finest grades of paper and for manufacturing ray on for clothing. It is said that the South has enough pine to clothe the whole world. The fat extracted from the wood can be used in making soap, paint, oleic acid for use in medical exper iments. In addition to these uses it contains a wax from which Vit amin D can be made. A crop of slash pine may be rais ed in ten years time and its grow ing is predicted to be one of the most important future industries of the South. AUTOMATIC BREATHING MACHINE Among the latest appliances for hospital use is an automatic breather that not only inhales and exhales air from the patient’s lungs, but also adjusts itself to his normal breathing. A machine of th s kind was shown at the meet ing of the Tri-State Hospital Asso ciation in Raleigh last week. FOR RENT—Tn Zebulon. Resi dence, 8 Rooms, new roof, newly painted i-npide and out.
