McN. Johnson After reading that splendid address of Honorable R. N. Page at the Ki- wanis dinner last Wednesday, the farming population of our County will have small inclination to drop down to the mediocre dribble from my blunt pen. It is like eating a bis cuit, then falling back to com-hread; but I wish to commend every word he said, and then add something in my own rude style. It is as true as Gospel, as Mr. Page has so forcibly said, our farmers need expect no assistance from the McNary-Haugen Bill, nor from any other legislating measure designed for their benefit as a class. They will find that all such measures even tually become a real tax on the far mers for the benefit of the salaries of a flock of vampires whose real in terest in the farmers is the collec tion of their exorbitant salaries, which must be paid directly or indirectly by th*' farmers themselves. Really, all the farmer requires from tlie Congress of the United States and the Legislature of North Caro- Una is simple justice and protection from loan sharks, and from worth less fertilizers. Give him these, and he will do the rest himself. DEFENDS SMALL FARMER McN. Johnson VASS, N. C, I. L SPENCE TAKES SEAT IN LEGISLATURE HORSES FLL SO.

As this is not Mr. Spence’s first trip to the Legislature, he is not a stranger among the memberg of the House. He has long been promi nent in Democratic affairs and coun cils in the State. Mr. Spence is the sole representa tive of Moore county, chosen by a shipped here for use during January, February and March, the three big- hunting months. Freight and ex- piess cars were being unloaded at the Southern Pines siding almost every day this week. Among the new shipments were large majority at the November elec- fifteen horses, all hunters, from Chic- Fields.

The establishment of bus lines from New York and Pittsburgh to Florida with daily stops in the Sand hills metropolis may be the forerun ner of numerous other such trans portation lines with similar schedules and it is well within the pale of reas onable vision to imagine Southern Pines a bus center with through bus that this is a matter that is vital to the Sandhills section and conoems Southern Pines and Aberdeen as much as it does Pinehurst, and so» dnriiig the past summer Pinehurst, Incorpor ated has laid the foundation for and begun the construction of a flying field near Knollwood that may easily be made the equal of any such landinir place in the country^ Ai^ 'jno^ fairs of the county. three sportsmen have been coming to I , . , The major legislation which will: with their families Twenty Millions Income Taxes before the present session seasons and hunting with 'on which the new representative of jthe Moore County Hounds.

Mr. Blair’s! Th, R!.,ht.Mn„th .School Term— ® ! Lamg stables are already full, and Mr. Lamg has to speak a word for, and I will be gin by defining the small farmer— and for the sake of perspicuity I will say my idea of the small farmer is a man or woman who owns and resides upon his or her own tract of land consisting of not*over 100 acres and not less than 40 acres, and these fig ures are arbitrarily adopted for con venience, and who neither owns nor claims any other land on the face of the earth, and also who makes the major part of his or her living by farming this little home farm. Best People on Earth Now you have my idea of the small farmer. It is the same idea that Goldsmith fondly refers to as “A Bold Peasantry,” the pride, strength and mainstay of any country. These form the best and happiest people in the world. It is that class which more nearly fulfills the duties im posed on all mankind by the Divine Creator. That class whose lives are “More sweet than that of painted pomp.” Much is being said just now, and said by my own friends and political compatriots aibout relieving lands from taxation that are not cultivated lands held in the wild for the purpose of growing timber. While this scheme is attractive from one angle, I am convinced that it is a mistaken letter follows: Receipt is ackaowledged of your, ^jivided over letter in which you ask how many days the Government could run on the taxes paid annually (or last year representatives of both parties are auxiliary stable belonging I to the Boyds on the Reservation road, • what has all this to do nor McLean has declared he believes!a flying Held?

There are 52 pupets in the cast, each manipulated by an average of sixteen almost invisible strings. The strings are each about eight feet long. Math ematically expressed, this means that 9,236 feet of string are required to give the Marionette performance enough string to go up and down New York’s 38-story Paramount building ten times. During the past six years literally thousands of audiences from coast to coast have laughed at the clever antics of Mr. Sarg’s little two-foot actors disporting themselves in “Treasure Island,” Rip Van Winkle,” and other plays, and have wondered just how these tiny figures are made to perform in such life-like manner.
