We have seen it claimed numerous times that the reason why many counties have been kept dry (?) was because of the support of bootleggers. Yet we recall that in a number of instances when ABC was attempted in certain counties the towns where the bootlgger held forth voted wet and the country around voted dry. Wilson it seems to us has had far more trouble with bootleggers since ABC handles the liquor problem than it did before. This paper believes the aforementioned correspondent wil fully or otherwise slandered the ministry when he linked honest and sincere men up with boot leggers in spreading the curse of drink in our State. oOo WHY DOESN’T HE? o We read considerable in the papers these days about why Mr. Roosevelt does not an nounce his decision as to a third term. Why should he? We have a suspicion that it is not So much a matter of “do I want it” as “do you want me”. In North Carolina we have six men who are announced active candidates for the office of NEW MIRACLE OF SCIENCE . , INCREASES SIZE OF FISH , ... m , # z *"• • 'y-- :’;>:vX;Xx-;v;vX;X*Xv’:'vTv;;X;!;!vNx^\"XvXiN;v:N;"xv;T-tf^ •• . X\v..-Xy^XvX One of the latest wonders of modern science is the discovery that the size of fish may be greatly increased by the use of fertilizer to promote the growth of under water vegetation. Well known to Southern farmers is the power of American fertiliz ers to step up growth in field crops. Few, however, know that sensation al increases in fish development have been made by those same fertilizers. Sequences showing the remark able development are contained in the color and sound motion picture “The New South,” currently being released throughout Southern states by the distributors of Arcadian Nitrate. The film was made by a Look at your label. Be paid up! production company of experts who toured the South during the past summer using natural scenes and volunteer actors. The picture portrays the indus trial and agricultural progress of the Southland from the days before the coming of the first white man It stresses the part that nitrate? have played in Southern develop ment, and their importance in the • program of self-containment for the South. The increase in the size of fish i by fertilizing the underwater vege s tation is but one of the demonstra ; tions in the picture of the wonders i that may be achieved by the use t of scientific methods on the farms l of the South. THE ZEBULON RECORD governor. Doubtless each investigated every source of information that would give him a possibility of election before he announced him self. Not only that but we have a suspicion that most if not all soft-pedaled on the things they believed would not meet with popular approval, but that they also came out good and strong on the planks that they thought would get the most votes. A man who wants office because his con stitutency wants him first of all is the man we would like to vote for. For instance: men like Congressman Doughton, if there are any more such. oOo THE WAR AND THE WEATHER o A few days ago some one asked me if I believed the war had anything to do with the un usual weather we have been having this winter. Os course I do not know, but I remember hear ing my father sny that after a big battle in the Civil War there usually followed a heavy rain storm. A man who was in the World War re minded me that during the year of the worst fighting we had the hardest winter. Many also recall that a few years ago, it was •Claimed that a drought might be broken by high explosives; indeed, “rain guns” were used to “shoot” down a rain. So with all the use of high explosives on land, in sea and sky over Europe and Asia, it seems possible that much of our unusual hard winter may be blamed on the Germans and Rus sians. Whether that be true or not, not a few of us would be glad to saddle the blame on them for something beside murdering innocent Poles and Finns. oOo DIVORCE o We are told that about one out of every twenty marriages in the United States leads to divorce. A few weeks ago we noted that there were an even 100 divorce cases before the courts in Wake county. While we have a number of legal grounds for breaking hearts and homes, perhaps the most shameful and pernicious is that of “two year’s separation”. In our opinion this is probably the most unjust and most dan gerous foe of marital relations. By all means this law should be repealed by our next General Assembly. Her family called her a HOME WRECKER Newspapers called her the Mystery Girl, and she called herself a fool. The finger of scandal pointed at Sheila Cars cadden, but she out pointed it. How her fam ily and friends accept this shattering blow forms a dramatic, excit ing story, told only as Kathleen Norris could tell it. Don’t miss a single installment of the brilliant story running serially in these col umns. IRISH IV ITS BEGINNING NEXT WEEK Appearing before the United Mine Workers this week John L. Lewis unexpectedly declared that Roosevelt’s “candidacy .uld re sult in ignominious defeat.” And thus he disposes of both the pres ident and Mr. Garner as presiden tial possibilities.

SEEN & HEARD I i i From the Graham County News we take the following: Topoca is * only 20 miles from Robbinsville. A good road and fast driving will put ‘ one at Topoca quicker than he can * reach it by telephone. Here is how * it is done: Call exchange in Rob- * binsville, get exchanges in Sylva, | Asheville, Knoxville, Maryville, 1 power house at Calderwood, Topoca. Then Topoca will get your party. ' Cost for three minutes conversation is 20 cents. This means that if one in Rob- ' binsville wishes to talk with a par ty at Topoca, he can drive the dis tance and have his talk quicker than he can by telephone. It takes a long time to get a little squeel from a little telephone. Want To Be A Doctor? No! Coming down town Thursday morning I met Dr. Barbee driv ing in home. He looked cheerful and rested. I asked, “How long were you out last night?” He re plied: “I went down near Middle sex a little after midnight; driv ing back to the road I ran into a snow bank and stuck; got out and walked to Zebulon, getting here about three o’clock this morning.” After a pause, he said smilingly, “I had to get the wrecker and go after my car. I’m just getting back.” No, I do not want to be a doc tor. They come as near earning what they get as any professional class I know. They should stand next to the preacher with the peo ple if not with the Lord. Possibly they do that, too. One day last week a crowd of farmers and near farmers were I standing around a grocery store in Zebulon just talking. They were discussing crops and cussing the government. One man storted in condemning Wilson and went on to Roosevelt. Among other things he said: “During Wilson’s administra tion I sold cotton for four d— cents a pound.” A listener asked: “And you sold cotton for 40 cents a pound too, during Wilson’s administration | did you not?” [ “Yes, and you did not have ad— , thing to do with it!” he rejoined. , “No,” replied the other. “Then who did?” [ Pointing to an ex-service man, . the other said: “There’s a man who . helped you on the good price of your cotton. He was over in France FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2nd, 1940. fighting for a dollar a day while you sold cotton for 40 cents a pound here at home. He failed to raise his 40 cent cotton, because he had to fight for the rest of us.” The farmer by this time had on about enough steam to blow up a boiler, and exploded: “That’s the trouble with everything today. You town people are always trying to tell us farmers how to run our bus iness.” This interesting conversation ended somewhat like this, the other fellow again speiking: “No’ I am not trying to run your business. I don’t know where you live. If I did, I’d try to dodge your place. I’d not try to tell you anything. I live on a farm myself.” SCRIBES-ALL STAR GAME The Sigma Chi Alpha Scribes, leaders in intra-mural play at Wake Forest College, will meet the Zebulon All-Stars in a basket ball game in the Wakelon gymna sium Saturday night, February 3, at 7:30 p. m.
