Observation and Comment By F. O. Ours, Jr. -The army of unemployed seem* to be centering on California, bas ing their hopes on Governor-Nomi nate Upton Sinclair's E. P. I.. O. program, on which platform he won the Democratic nomination for Governor of California, although be, himself, has been for years a pro fessed Socialist. Someone has sug gested that he should rename the state in the event he is elected and Is able to put through his program. Its new name wo lild be Utopia, the land of eternal bliss and happiness. At any rate the unemployed seem to be hoping that he is going. to win, for they are arriving at the rate of one hundred persons a day from all sections" ef the country. One. fact that we noticed in a state ment released by the Motor Vehicle Bureau of California was that peo ple were coming from twenty-eight states and in the list was not a single one from North Carolina. That may be accounted for in more than one way. There is a possi bility that the distance is too great from North Carolina to California, but we noticed that there were some from other southern states, equally as far, or it may have been that the unemployed in this state did not have enough funds to finance the trip, but the same would no doubt hold true for the unemploy ed of other sections, so we have just about reached the conclusion that North Carolina, along with nineteen other states is in better shape than the remaining tWfenty eight. Who is Cherry Wilkins? There have been a series of articles in The State, published by Carl Goerch in Raleigh every week, written by this author or authoress. She purports to be from this county, and we would like to satisfy our own curiosity if for no other reason and know who she is. The articles are interesting, well-written and deserve recognition by the author's home folks. CARD OF THANKS ! We wish to take this method to thank each and every one for their many kindnesses shown at the I time of the death of-father, Mr. John A. Paul. No people could have been more thoughtful or kind in' their acts and expressions, and we deeply appreciate, same. May God in His wisdom reward every one. Respectfully, Mrs. Mary B. Posey and family.

Charles E. Darn THE CHRISTIAN'S STANDARD OF LIFE Lesson for October 28th Golden Text: Ephesians 5:18 "Do not get drunk with wine" warns Paul in our Golden Text. How greatly we need today this ad- j vice! The repeal of the 18th Amendment was hailed as a great forward step toward real temper-1 ance, but" as everyone now knows, it I has not solved the liqissr problem. | 1 In fact we are now just fhout where we were a generation ago when the ! 'fight against the saloon was gath ering momentum. Bootlegging is still flourishing. Joseph H. Choate, Jr., director of the Federal Alcohol control Admin istration .report* that two-thirds of all the liquor now sold In the coun try is made In illicit stills. The high taxo n liquor makes It profitable to make and sell It under coyer so as 'to avoid the tax. The situation makes Imperative a determined war on bootleggers by both federal and state authorities. The saloon also is back despite the loftd assurances -that It would never return. "And It- Is back," as the New Jersey commissioner of al cohol control points out, "because the people want It back." And it Is painfully revealing to read newspaper reports in Chicago and elsewhere telling of an Increase In drunken driving. Insurance sta tistics reveal that out of the total number of drivers Involved In motor car accidents the first half of this year, 236% were declaiied intbxi cated, as against 1.66% in the cor responding pe.iod of 1933, an in crease of 42%. The problem of course Is one of great complexity. We are In a period of readjustment. What the church, and the community must do is to find the most workable plan of ef fectively reducing the consumption of alcoholic beverages. In this mili tant crusade we cannot afford to fail. Short Sermons By Joe R. Currin THE SIN OF WORRY In his beautiful references to the birds of the air and the lillies of the field Jesus teaches his people not to worry. It would not be true to say that there is nothing to produce worry in the lives of people. That view can not be held unless one believes everything is just as it should be? just in keeping with the will and purpose of God. But even if there are things about which men may worry the worry will do no good. When we have to deal with the undesirable and im perfect if there be any remedy it is hetter to forego the worry and ap ply the femedy. And I might say here that I am not basing these statements "on human opinion but on the teachings of Jesus. What then, about the sin of wor ry? In this brief space only three things will be mentioned. In the first place it is an injury to those with whom one associates. It is as a wet blanket chilling the joy oS life. Or to change the figure to .nin into pessimism ana knock the edge off of their aspirations and courage as a rock knocks the edge off of an axe, thereby rendering them less capable of performing their duties. j Again may It not be said that j worry is a slow means of suicide? And while the end is approaching i it renders one less capable of filling his place and discharging his va rious duties to his fellowman and to God. Moreover worry Is a manifesta tion of mistrust of God or an un willingness for him to have his way. For a cure of worry try a con scientious discharge of duty and a sincere reliance on God. Matt, 6:25-34. NEGRO FARMERS SOWING WHEAT One hundred and fifty bushels of wheat were purchased by Negrb farmers of Person county last week. A quantity of this wheat was. j brought from local merchants and tlje remainder came from Alamance county. Forty farmers cooperated in the above purchase and saved $37.70. If these farmers had gone to mer chants In Roxboro and bought wheat Individually,>s Is the usual custom, y Doctors Favor a Liquid Laxative. A doctor wM tell you that the care less us<? of strong laxatives may do more harm than good. Harsh laxatives often drain the system, weaken the bowej muscles, and even affect the liver and kidneys. Fortunately, the public, is fast returning to laxatives in liquid form. The dose of a liquid laxative can be measured^ The action can thus be regulated to suit individual need. It forms no habit; you needn't take a "double dose" a day or two later. Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin gently helps the average person's bowels while nature is restoring their regu larity. Why not try it? Some, pill or tablet may be more convenient to carYy. But there is little "conven ience" in any cathartic which is taken so frequently, you must carry it with you, wherever you go I Its very taste tells you Dr. "Cald well's Syrup Pepsin is wholesome. A delightful taste, and delightful action. Safe for expectant mothers, and children. At all druggists, ready for use, in" big bottles. *? it would uavw Been impossible to have realised this saving. Hie lo cal Negro Agent worked through the various farmers' clubs In the I county, and as a result at the every j farmer sow your wheat campaign. | it was agreed upon that the wheat [ would be bought In a unit. When [the merchants were contacted they 'readily agreed to give the farmers a few pennies off when large quan tities were purchased. It Is hoped that a larger amount of farmers will buy wheat cooperatively next year j and realise a greater saving for I themselves. | As the farmers came for their 1 wheat they had It treated for stink I ing smut. A barrel mixer was ar | ranged on the back of the court house grounds for this purpose. The copper carbonate mixture was used in treating the wheat. There are several good reasons why farmers should use this mixture. They are as follows: It eliminates wetting of the seed and the subsequent drying. I It Is cheaper ahd easy to apply.
