The Zebulon Record
This, That and the Other
By Mrs. Theo. B. Davis
It is a mystery to me how some
gardeners get shrubs and plants
to grow as they want them. Down
at Morehead City Misses Sue and
Fannie Davis used to grow plants
as symmetrical as is laid off with
a ruler, or cut by a pattern. If any
plant put out a shoot on one side,
it knew better than not to grow
one just like it on the other; and
it was the same way with blooms.
Their yard was always perfection.
But, try as I may, I have not per
suaded the little plots at the sides
of our small front porch to harm
onize. The right-hand clump of
nandina is half again as large as
that on the left, while the left
hand leagnus is more than twice
the size of that on the right. Hy
drangeas on the left are larger,
but it is the opposite with lantan
as. The left-hand box is ever so
much larger than the right-hand
one and already I can see a differ
ence in wax-leafed ligustrums set
out last sp -ing. I try fertilizing
the laggards, pruning back the
larger shrubs, and anything else
I can think of; but, in spite of it
all, the yard always looks lopsided. ,
I shall probably never be an effi
cient gardener.
But sometimes I can cook. And
I tried a new recipe for pickling j
sirup for watermelon rinds last j
week. It is so good I must pass it :
on. You prepare the rinds as us- ;
ual. For the sirlip use six cups <
While the brutal wife slaying
Ewing and Spivey cases are still
fresh in the minds of North Caro
lina citizens, another man now
stands trial for his life on a like
charge. Though the defendent ad
mitted he “blowed her damn
brains out,” and medical examina
tion reavealed an alcoholic content
of .14 per cent 12 hours after he
was jailed, and it was the opinion
of the medical examiner that there
was an alcoholic content of .25 to
.3 per cent present at the time of
the gunshot murder of the defend-
Next Sunday’s scripture lesson,
taken from the same inspiring
chapter of Acts as last Sunday’s
story of Dorcas, tells of another
servant of the Lord who followed (
His instructions, this time along <
slightly more heroic lines than
Dorcas, the every-day servant.
Ananias, the disciple selected by
Jehovah to minister to Saul, is un
honored and unsung save for his
willingness to do God’s bidding in
completing the outward convers
ion of Paul, already inwardly a
Christian. All the more is he hon
ored because he did not undertake
the fulfillment of God’s directive
without equivocation Ananias
received his instructions, he was
afraid to carry them out, but he
did the job anyhow.
Ananias pointed out that Paul
had been known as a fanatic who
persecuted the Christians, and had
put many of them to death. Small
wonder that he first offered what
seemed to him good reasons for
not doing the will of his Master.
But, like many of our war he
roes who went into battle against
their better judgment because
they know their cause was just,
water, three cups vinegar, six cups
sugar, with stick cinnamon, ging
er and cloves for flavoring—and
I added a little nutmeg. Boil the
rinds till tender, then drain before
putting them in the sirup, which
should be boiling hot. Simmer till
the pieces are clear. This must be
sealed in jars as is canned fruit.
The amounts given will make sir
up for a gallon of pickle.

There were frying-size chickens
to be dressed, and my husband
offered to help with the picking;
but was called away before the
job was done. He told me to re
member when cutting up the
chickens that he had not cleaned
the pinfeathers from the one he
was working on. Then he failed to
understand why I did not appre
ciate this reminder.
Last week this column said I
did not know just how I got the
notion that August is the month
for washing blankets. Since then
several have asked me about say
ing it would seem best to wash
them in spring so as to pack them
away clean. And that explained
it. Up where I came from you
need at least one cover to a bed
all summer long; sometimes more.
And, if you pack the blankets ,
away, you’ll have to keep getting
some of them out. August washing ]
means the blankets will go into '
another winter fairly fresh and
clean.
Letter to the Editor
ent’s wife enough to indicate “def
inite intoxication,” the point that
is stressed, according to today’s
newspaper account (Aug. 20) is
that a person in such condition
could not “form the premeditated
act to kill and be aware of the
consequences of it.”

Sunday School Lesson
Ananias screwed up his courage,
and baptized Paul. He restored the
sight of the greatest missionary
the world has ever known, and
made possible the spread of the
Gospel to the four corners of the
earth.
How difficult it is to do right,
even when no inconvenience may
be involved. Loss of face hurts us
far more than loss of life concern
ed the early Christians. Witness

It’s becoming somewhat mon
otonous, these continual explan
ations and claims that leniency is
due to one who commits a crime
while under the influence of in
toxicants. Should level-headed
thinkers be swayed by the dra
matic flourishing of a whiskey
bottle and the impassioned plea
that “he did not do it; it was this
bottle of liquor?”
With all its potential power for
evil, no one can really believe that
liquor ever does much harm un
til it is swallowed by someone;
then unless he has been held and
had it forcibly poured down his
throat, he is responsible for its
having been transferred from one
container to another.
And it might be well for Justice
to remove her blindfold and take
a long, remembering look at her
misrepresentatives.

I have taken so many verbal
beatings about over-consolidation
of rural schools that it did my
soul good when Jonathan Daniels
in the News and Observer said far
better than I could ever say it
that it is quite possible to go too
far in abolishing small school
houses. I have not always agreed
with Mr. Daniels, even disagree
ing to the extent of trying to ar
gue about daylight-saving time—
one more thing I detest; but when
he speaks out for little schools,
little communities and little peo
ple, I am almost willing to turn
up my clock.
her grave, another stands accused
by the state of North Carolina, the
proper defendent in this case, for
it is North Carolina that has plac
ed the liquor bottle to any mans
lips that cares to buy, saying
“drink, for I need revenue, it will
make you socially popular, but
when it steals away the brain, and
you commit murder in my name, I
will wash my hands of all respon
sibility for you, and see that you
find your just and proper place
behind bars”.
Mrs. Irene Averitt Mills
our taking a social drink just to be
a good fellow, when we don’t real
ly enjoy it.
The willingness of Ananias to go
in fear to God’s will should in
spire us to similar heroic efforts in
the little things of life, which
make up the sum and substance of
existence for most of us. Let us be
faithful in the small things, and
the great trials like that of Anan
ias will take care of themselves.
