The election is over and everything
! is ju?t ahout gone one way. Let
r,s get down to building good roads
and give attention to law enforce-1
i
ment.
The man known as Marion Butlov
will now pack his grip and shake the
dust of North Carolina from his
heels. Tins is a goo'l thig for the
State.
We need law enforcement in North
Carolina and especially in Halifax
county. Let the olheers and every
good citizen get busy and see that
r.l! laws are enforced. The watch
word is law enforcement.
Our brother editor, W. 15. Haikt r, i
of the Maxton Scottish C keif, is hav
ing some trouble with a so-c;dkd
' ' business college" known as "Ih yr.n t
and Stratton' of Louisville, Ky..
over an advertising proposition.
The '"College" agreed to give him
a one hundred dollar scholarship fi;r
the amount of advertising space ai.d
then advertised scholarships in that
soace for twenty-five dollars. Bro
ther you had better follow our ph:n
and consign all such offers to the
waste basket.
