THE
I SWASH-
I BUCKLER £
■ Last Sunday Nell Battle Lewis
■ girded herself with her mightier
I than the sword and advanced on
those foe* who would dare suggest
bringing back the whipping post
to North Carolina.
I forget just the words Fourth
Estateress Lewis used, but they
didn’t change my views in the
least.
I don’t think Mrs. Lewis realizes
the large number of “niggers” and
“po’ white trash” on the roads that
are there from laziness. Too lazy to
earn an honest living, they steal
and secure their bread in other
devious ways. The whip would put
more fear into them than a sen
tence from now to eternity.
I’m in favor of putting up whip
ping opst in all the county seats
and on one or two days a month,
whip those sentenced by the judges
to the punishment. Instead of hold
ing the thrashing in public places,
throw up an enclosure and charge
say, 11.00 per spectator. Why I
know plenty of people who would
pay a dollar to see me flogged, and
their good will i* reciprocated.
Was out at a neat little lake
constructed by damming up a
stream that has a natural rock
bottom. Granite Lake, it’s called
and along with swimming, there’s
a nice picnicking ground nearby.
It’s located about five miles
froom Wendell on the Wake Forest
road.
Read recently of a butcher in
Berlin who was renowned for his
choice round and veal steaks. Peo
ple from all over the city came to
Lieberwertz’ shop to buy meat.
His fame spread to other towns
and the newpapers made note of
the fact that Lieberwertz was mak
king history and bringing fame to
Belin as well as himself. Then one
day the bubble burst.
A child playing the back of the
butcher shop found a human hand
and took it to the police. Further
search revealed other members of
human bodies. When confronted by
the police and their evidence, Lieb
erwertz admitted that he had com
mitted several murders and had
sold some of the choicer bits of
his victims’ flesh at a tidy profit.
Quick Jason, bring the basin;
Never mind, bring the mop.
Had that happened today in
stead of years ago, Herr Hitler
would have had Lieberwertz dene
away with because he had no “Ar
rayan” blood.
Probably the most fun for any
and everybody that Vill head this
way this year will be the Donkey
Baseball Games to be played hAre
Friday and Saturday evenings at
8:00. The entire game is played
by softball rules, except that when
any running ia to be done, it must
be done by a jackass upon which
sits the player.
Well, I got a date with another
donkey, So, So-long,
The Swashbuckler.
Regardless of hi* personal opin
ion no driver is as good with drink
of liquor in him as he is without it.
The Kentucky Derby has, been
run each year for sixty-three years
at Churchill Downs. It is the most
famous rase in this country.
Church News
At the close of the service at the
Baptist church on last Sunday
morning Pastor Herring called at
tention to the fact that his resigna
tion had been offered some months
before to take effect at the close of
this month.
With sincere appreciation of the
faithful service of Mr. Herring,
the church asked him to continue as
supply until a pastor is secured.
On Sunday afternoon the bap
tistery of the Baptist church was
used by Pastor Leslie Newman in
baptising sixteen candidates into
the fellowship of the Wendell
church, and one into the fellowship
of the Zebulon church.
As a result of a meeting held at
Union Hope last week, in which
Pastor Davis was aided by Rev.
Leslie Newman, 52 were received
for membership, by far the greater
part coming for baptism. This or
dinance will be administered on
next Sunday morning at 9:30 after
which a short service will be held in
the church.
WAKEFIELD S. S. PICNIC
On last Wednesday the Wakefield
Baptist Church Sunday School went
to Pullen Park, Raleigh, on their
annual picnic. They report a most
enjoyable day in the improved
swimming pool and on the merry
go-round. D. D. Chamblee says
they had the best lemonade he ever
drank, and the picnic from every
consideration was the best the Sun
day school ever had. D. D. ought
to know. He goes to every one.

Sunday was no cool day, but Mon- ,

day fas not warm enough to bother
any one and another light shower
fell in the afternoon. And Wednes
