Charles M. Johnson's
Work Receives Notice
Or Magazine
(From Th Duplin Timet, War
saw, N. C)
It is always a matter of pride
and gratification when a man of
the home State receives national
notice, and is as deserving of it as
the subject mentioned in the fol
lowing article which appears in the
November issue of "Commerce and
Industry Magazine" (A History
f Accomplishment of Men ' in
Business and Government) publish
ed in New York. This refers to
Chas. M. Johnson, a native of
Pender county, who through sheer
ability and force of character has
risen to his. present post, and,
after the Governor, wields more
power in state affairs than anv
one other man.

of ' the sorry state of affairs con

balance budgets, without affecting
the spoils system. .

QOME years ago 1 . was talking
J to a mail in an institution fori
the insane. He was a. lawyer, and
before the loss of his mind was
reputed to be one of the leading
lawyers of the' state. He was. a
member of the Episcopal church
and very familiar with the Prayer
Book. In the course of our con
versation he said, with much earn
estness, "I wish 1 had the author

Church. I would compel them to

Thrqugh the wide experience may put our whole trust and con
and capability in addition to co
operative public spirit, Charles M.
Johnson, State Treasurer of North
Carolina, has enabled the people of
the State to realize a .huge saving.
In addition to his duties as ad
ministrator of the State's fiscal
affairs, Mr. Johnson -is doing the
work of eleven other men while
drawing a single salary, thus mak
ing a huge personal contribution
and further showing his sense of
civic obligation. He now directs
the work of the State Local Gov
ernment Commission, Veterans'
Iian Board, Banking Commission,
the Board of Assessment, Sinking
Fund Commission and six other
bureaus which would otherwise be
guided by men who command im
pressive salaries, together with
their staff complement.
"Through his diversified knowl
edge Mr. Johnson is able to per
form this, varied work. The broad
manner in which he construes ' his
service as a public official are
highly commendable;
"The State. Treasurer has insti-
. tuted constructive, forward-looking
fidence in thy mercy.' We do not
know how to put our whole trust
in God."

mark as sensible, and I have of

rassed when his wife started a
quarrel with him.
"You low down snake-in-the-grass,"
she hissed at him, "yu
have a new typist at your office."
"Yes, dear, I have," answered her
husband.
"And your new typist is about
eighteen years old," stated Mrs. X.
"Well, as near as I can judge
years, I'll say my new typist is
about eighteen," replied Mr. X.
"And has blonde,, curly hair, and
big, melting, brown eyes," con
tinued the old battle-ax, with
plenty of venom in her words.
"Why didn't you tell me that you
had a new typist?" "
I knew more trouble was coming,
so' I jumped over behind the piano
and decided to park there until I
had a chance to sneak out.
"What . I want to know is how-
did you find all this out?" asked
the husband.
"Aw, Mrs. What-you-may-call-
her told me. Now I demandthe
name of your new typist."
"What, you' want the name of
my new typist?" said Mr. X.
"That's exactly -what 1 said," re
plied the wife.
"O. K., then," answered her hus
band, -"my -new typist's -name is
