SEEN AND HEARD
BANK SI A ROSE
Probably the only Banksia rose in
Zebulon is the one blooming in Mrs.
J. A. Cawthome’s yard. She root
ed a cutting brought from Hertford
less than three years ago and now
has a beautfiul display of the clus
ters of tiny yellow' roses-
The plant is a climber, has no
thorns, and blooms only in early
summer. One of the oldest roses
in the South, it is more often seen
near the coast, and is rare in this
sect on.
Differing as it dose from other
roses ,the Banksia is well worth
going to see. The associate editor
has a habit of slipping into the
Cawthorne yard at frequent inter
vals and enjoying the beauty of this
and other flowers there.
FARM BEAUTY
A small boy seing a field of
crimson clover bloom asked what
it was. Upon being told he remark
ed in surprise, “I didn’t know
clover could be so pretty as that.”
Truly, w r e are surrounded by
beauty these days.
THE RUNAWAY
He was walking along the high
way near Crabtree creek carrying a
heavy overcoat when I picked him
up. I asked where he was going
and he replied, “Home.” And then
he told me his story. He was six
teen years old. His home was in
Boston. He had a job in an A. and
P. store. He had heard a great deal
about the south and wanted to see
t more than all else. Se he left his
job and home and started treking
outhward.
He reached Winston-Salem, saw
the b g tobacco factories. His mon
ey was gone, too many others w'ere
seeking so he turned his face
and feet Bostonward. He had
walked most of the way from Win
ston-Salem to Raleigh. A friend
lived in Greenville who m ght loan
him fare home. If and when he got
back to Boston and home and a job
he would stick to them. I left him
stand ng on the highway waiting
and hoping for a lift onward and
Bostonward.
BEGGARS DAY
Last Saturday morning a young
woman came into our office with
an affidav t stating that her father
was blind, her mother very poor and
: ad a number of small children. A
“Reverend” somebody had signed
the paper. The girl did not know
the preacher nor two others w-hose
names were affixed. She asked for
help. We shared our small change
with her and she went on her way—
begg ng
In early afternoon a tiaveler with
out a destination stopped at our
back door and asked Mrs. Davis for
some sugar. She asked, “How
much,” and he replied "all you a
mind to give me." She gave him
the sugar and he further enl ghten
ed her by saying that he wanted it
to make an eggnog!
Much later in the afternoon we
had another caller at the office. He
presented a little book in which was
typewritten the statement that he
was a preacher (the kind was not
stated). On request he further en
lightened us by saying he was
preacher of “the holiness of Jesus”
kind and that whatever I w'ould give
him would sure go to help the Gos
pel. A man present informed us
that he gave the fellow a dollar a
few years ago to help build a Holi
ness church. He did not build the
church but later assured the man
that the dollar was used for a good
purpose. We parted with another
good dime.
Aa a rule we always give most
ber ng that the good Book says in
so doing w-e may be etertaining an
gels unawares, but in these instan
ces we a re persuaded that it was
just a case of soft heart and little
judgment-

Go into A G. Kemp’s store when
you will and the chances are over

seed for garden or farm, or both.
He handles the seed as if it af
fords him pleasure just to measure
or weigh them, and it would be in
teresting to know just how many
he sells.
DARE WET
The drys apparently carried Dare
county in the late l.quor election
by 21 votes. The election board met
and threw out 27 votes thus giving
the wets a majority of six. The
wets are in the &ad 11 h North
Carolina and a liquor eieitcn ! !
have to overwhelmingly dry or li
quor will pour in and overwhelm
things.
WARDS BUY BUILDING
Montgomery, Ward and Co. has
purchased the build ng occupied by
them in Raleigh for §217,500. It is
located on the old city market site.
Gilmer and Co. erected the build
ing a number of years ago. It was
sold under mortgage for $165,000
to the Metropolitan Life Insu ance
Co. and they sold it to Ward’s.

STATE DENTISTS MEET
Dr. J. B. Robinson, dean of den
tistry at the University of Mary
land, addressed N. C. Dentists meet
ing at Pinehurst Monday. He de
clared that only 20 per cent of the
population of this country receive
dental care, and added that the per
centage of dentists with reference
to other persons is decreas ng. ‘The
need for more dental service is
acute,” Dr. Robinson stated. He
thinks finances often cause neglect
of the teeth, since so many heads
of families earn small salaries.
