DEATH IS PERMANENT
Six thousand persons in the United States-*-
exclusive of the 1,500 who die annually in burn
ing buildings—die yearly of burns and scalds,
and practically every one °f these deaths are
preventable. Children are she principal sufferers,-
thanks to the carelessness of adults. Unprotect
ed grates and stoves, hot.water, steam, & match
es are the principal objects which quickly be
come lethal weapons of death at the innocent
touch of a child’s hand. Among adults the prac
tice of starting fires with kerosene and gasoline
is well in the fore as a producer of fatal burns,
and as a destroyer of property.
Death by fire is just as painful and horrify
ing—whether it occurs in a home or in a spectac
ular disaster. Think of this before you throw
kerosene on that balky fire. Remember* death
is a permanent proposition, and no amount of
money will bring back life to a charred body.

DANGER! KEEP OUT!
A story is told of Zeb Vance that when he
interposed in a fight between a man and his
wife, that they both turned on hm and gave him
a good walloping before he could rescue him
self. Up in Zeb’c country the other day a barber
offered himself as a peace maker between a man
and his wife. She pulled a gun, fired at her hus
band and killed the good intentions of the
friend of the family as well as the man himself.
It is wise and it always pays to keep out of
any family row whether it be a European nation
or next door neighbors. Attending to one’s own
business is a mighty good policy at home or
abroad, but it is awfully hard to do even when
runnng a newspaper.
LOUISBURG COLLEGE
Louisburg College has for 160 years filled
an important place in the educational life of
eastern Carolina. It is the only Junior College
belonging to the Methodist denomination in the
state and the only Methodist school east of
Greensboro. For all these years it has had an
average attendance of around 300 students. The
expenses are kept so low that many boys and
girls who could not enter college otherwise may
have the opportunity.
For several years the college has been great
ly handicapped by a debt of more than SIOO,OOO.
The N. C. Methodist Conference has a campaign
on to liquidate this debt within the next two
weeks. All members of the Conference are asked
to make just as liberal contributions as possible,
NORTH CAROLINA:
WAKE COUNTY:
NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL
ESTATE BY SUBSTITUED
TRUSTEE
Under and by virtue of the au
thority contained in that certain
Deed of Trust, dated February 7,
1927, recorded in the Registry of
Wake County in Book 601, at Page
90, default having been made in
the payment of the note secured
thereby and the holder thereof hav
ing directed that the Deed of Trust
be foreclosed, the undersigned Sub
stituted Trustee will offer for sale
to the highest bidder for Cash, at
the Court House door of Wake
County in Raleigh, at 12 o’clock
Noon, on Monday, August 23, 1937,
a certain piece or tract of land ly
ing and being in Wake County,
State aforesaid, in Bartons Creek
Township, and described and defin
ed a& follows, to wit:
Begins at a stake, the northwest
corner of Lot No. 1 in the division
of the Ephraim Emery lands, and
runs thence North 3.25 degrees
East 18.86 chains to a post oak;
thence South 86.5 East 15.3 chains
to a stake; thence South 3.25 de
grees West 18.86 chains to a stake;
thence North 86.5 West 15.3 chains
to the beginning; containing 28.82
acres, being Lot No. 7 in said di
vision.
The undersigned Trustee was ap-
and it is hoped they will respond. Should 1
money not be raised and should the college
forced to close its doors, Eastern Carolina i
in particular the Methodist denomination in i
Section of the state, will suffer an inestima
loss. A movement now on foot provides so
program of vocational and industrial educat
that insures a broader curriculum than her«
fore and that will offer a wider appeal sinct
will feature self-help by students.
In this dept campaign not only those a*
are Methodists, but all who are concerned o
education of the youth of our section and
progress of our state should cooperate gla
and freely.
There are readers of the RECORD who hi
attended Louisburg College and who know fr
experience of the work done there as well asl
the plans for the'future. Let these prove tn
loyalty by action during the days of the cl
paign; let them arbuse ,in others the same sJ
as their.own. * , * I

“They say” the middle of the road has
danger, and in the eddy one may swim easW|l
All this may be true, but w.hen it comes to qB-'i
tions of conduct, morals and character as they
relate to others it is quite another matter.
We have noted with interest and wonder
the editorials on such matters as liquor in a
number of our leading daily and weekly news
papers. They either treat the matter as imper
sonal or speak as though they were altogether
free from responsibility. They speak as though
the editor was nothing more than a spectator,
and they never use the personal pronoun in dis
cussing moral questions.
The editor assumes all responsibility for
what is published in this paper, especially the
editorial columns. It expresses his opinion and
convictions concerning many matters of public
concern. He tries to identify himself with one
side or the other. If he is not for a thing, then
he is against it. He is against intoxicating
drink everywhere and all the time. He is op
posed to much of the extravagant and thought
less spending of the government. He is oppos
ed to the multiplication of job and office holders
in the county, state and nation. No doubt any
one who reads this paper knows where the editor
stands on most matters of public concern.
There is no place for neutrality anywhere,
much less in a newspaper. An old woman put
calamus root into her coffee because she said
she wanted it to taste like something. The Bible
tells us that churches which are neither hot nor
cold make God sick. The editor of a newspaper
who speaks impersonally of the Drys and writes
editorials criticizing what they do ot do
may reasonably be expected to be wet
less. A real prohibitionist does not drink in Si
icating drink as a beverage under any
stances and when he speaks of the drys he iBB
the personal pronoun “we’’ and he also
his part of the responsibility for what they
accomplished or have failed to accomplish. ] H

prohibition laws failed, he accepts his

but here they are again. Use round

inch thick. Pound it with the edge
of a saucer, a blunt edged hatch

add a little black; plpber and a bit
of chopped onioA,JpoVr over the
meat sufficient \Wter to cover it
and simmer it sloiply, keeping the
lid down close. If the water cooks
down too low, add more and keep
on clowly cooking the beef until it
is very tender. This may take three
hours for three pounds, but it is
worth the time. The gravy is ready
when the meat is done, and quite
as good as the meat. This doesn’t
sound like much of a dish; but if
ever you serve it right and don’t
get praised, it will be the folks
that are wrong and not the food.
I’ve never seen it fail to please.
And, incidentally, round steak
costs less than other cuts.

IWe had one correspondent many

though well-educated, she wrote:

[A linotype operator who worked
th us one year put a bad taste
the editor’s mouth when he head
ed the catch-line on her favorite
column “Patch and Cornpones.” It
should have been “Pitch and Pine
cones.”
Another correspondent always
quoted some scripture after her
weekly epistle to the editor. One
week her last item read:
“Mrs. was taken to
Rex Hospital last week where she
is not expected to recover.”
Following was her weekly scrip
ture:
“Sin hath its own punishment.”
Often fillers follow and coincide
(much to our embarrassment) with
articles immediately above them.
Last week the last paragraph of
this column related how the writer
was determined to ride one of the
donkeys in a coming donkey base
ball game. The material was not
sufficent to fill the column so our
make-up man grabbed the first
filler he came to and jammed it
in. After printing we noticed it
said:
‘‘Regardless of his personal opin
ion, no driver is as good with a
drink of liquor in him as he is
without it.”
One week we printed a long list
of prizes a local girl won and it
was immediately followed by the
filler—“ Clever people are often
hard to live with.”
