KEEP THE GOOD MEN IN OFFICE For years The Pilot has been harping on the subject of getting good men to run for office and keeping good men in office when they are there. It was for this reason that this newspaper took up the cud gels for Moore county’s tax col lector, W. T. Huntley, of Aber deen, when recently the Board of Count\; Commissioners shunt ed him to one side, electing one of its own members to the post. It has been oui’ understanding and belief for some time that Mr. Huntley was doing a good job as collector. Whether or not he has collected all the collect able taxes no one can say, It’sj a difficult thing to do in good { times. But if he has collected 80 percent in these times, it looks to us like a splendid piece of work. And every penny of his i collections have been accounted | for, something fairlv/ rare in the | financial history of the county. I The news that Mr. Huntley! may be reinstated in his post! for another term is, therefore,; most gratifying to The Pilot. ( And it is also gratifying to | know that Mr. Reynolds, who: has deemed it advisable to re- j main on the Board of Counti' i Commissioners, is still available for public service. He is an able,, conscientious servant. i tionable honor, as did Frank Smethurst, in his “In M;/ Opin ion” column in the News and Observer last Friday. But, he maintains, having been born, any baby in the state is due the consideration of having that birth recorded. Records for 1933 — the 1934 figures are not yet available^— show that North Carolina was second onlv to New Mexico in birth rate that year, and tied with Utah for second place. New Mexico had a birth rate of 26.7 | per 1,000 population, but had only 11,596 births. Utah’s birth rate w’as 22.9 per 1,000 popula tion, but that state had only 11,- 857 births. North Carolina, with a birth rate of 22.9, had 75,102 births, more than three times as many as New Mexico and Utah combined. If North Carolina had a com plete record of 1933 births, it might even regain its formtr place at the top, even going ahead of New Mexico, Mr. Smethurst writes. The “Register Your Bab}i” campaign now in progress in this state, is seek ing to get this record complete and all parents of children born within the past year are asked to see that their babies are reg istered. The U. S. Bureau of the Census, the Statf* Board of Health and the State Emergency Relief Administration are seek ing a complete registration. __ ^ Civic Loyalty Pays Big* Dividends Delicious cakea sold at the Curb | The nioi is read toy some 10,000 Market in Southern Pines each Sat- 1 advertlB- urday.

During the past few years this body has been fortunate in having as its honor guests and speakers such men as Josephus Daniels, United States Ambassa dor to Mexico and former Sec retary of the Navy; Henry* Mor. genthau, former Ambassador to Turkey, and J. C. B. Ehringhaus, Governor of North Carolina. The organization is running true to form again this year, honoring not onl.v a man high in affairs of state in North Caro lina but a native of our own county. It is but fitting that the newly appointed Attorney Gen eral, A. A. F. Seawell of Sanford, should be invited to be the speaker of the occasion, for he has risen from the soil of that portion of Moore county which has since been made into Lee countj", to head the legal de partment of his state, a fitting choice to succeed the late la mented Dennis Brummitt. Mr. Seawell will be here on Tuesday, February the 12th. He is a talented speaker, and though we are not aware of his subject we know it will be one of inter est to the large gathering assem bled at the Mid-Pines Club that evening. The Chamber’s annual banquet is not confined to mem bers only, but open to all, and there is little doubt that the spacious ballroom of the club on Midland Road will be taxed to capacity. These j'early meetings are popular affairs. LET’S GO SLOW ON THIS ONE Year by \€ar government en croaches further and further' upon the rights of the individual., This encroachment is usually j justified, at least theoretically, by the argument that the goodj of the whole people is above the I right of the individual—that it I is better that one die than that all perish. The child labor amendment, ratification of w’hich is being agitated in the present session of the legislature, represents perhaps one of the greatest in cursions of government into the private life of its subjects that has ever been attempted. It is misnamed “the child labor amendment.” A much more ap propriate name for the proposed amendment would be the “the child control” amendment. For under the amendment, as word ed, there is practically; no limit to the control w^hich might be exercised over our children by the proposed children’s bureau of the federal government. There is a certain God-ordain- ed relationship between parents and children w'hich this proposed amendment ignores. To regulate [the labor of children in industry ;is an entirely different proposi- | tion from the unlimited author ity granted by> the proposed I amendment. I One of the problems confront- j ing parents today is w'hat to do :W’ith the big husky young fel- jlows w'ho have no jobs. Let j some of the theorists who are j sponsoring this amendment try I feeding and clothing a family in I which there are three or four big healthy boys between the ages of 12 and 18—perhaps some younger brothers and sis ters—and do it, as many must do it, on a yearly income of less than $1,000. It is doubtful, too, that a boy who fails to learn how' to work between the ages of 14 and 18 will ever leam. A perusal of the life and writings of one B. Franklin w'ould not be amiss at this time. There is a pending bill in the Leg islature at Raleigh to tax bachelors between the ages of Zf and .50 years in this state, but Hiram Westbrook, Pete Pender, Fred Stimson, Leon Seymour and others interviewed yes terday denied the report that they were organizing a Bachelors Auti- Tax Association. A iked why they were not opposing the measure, Mr. Stimson said: “The bill also proposes to tax the unmarried of the opposite sex. This fact is going to make it much easier for us to change our .«tatus. Next time we ask that important question they’ll say yes.” ROAD SENTENCES PUT STOP TO VASS CHICKEN THEFTS A man from the North, desiring to see some of the agricultural pro ducts of this section growing in the fields, dropped in at Montesanti’s Spaghetti Camp the other day and was pretty disappointed when he couldn't find any growing there. Chicken-stealing cases consumed a major portion of the time of the Re corder's Court in Carthage on Mon- ! day, and as a result of the day’s work, I it is hoped that chicken roosts in Vass will be safer places for the fea thered families. Three colored boys j were given road sentences, , Hurley McKeithon was found guil- ■ ty in three cases, Carl Elliott in two, and Arthur Conley in one. McKeith- I en was given four months and the other boys two months each. Elvie McAllister and W. C. Sellars, Jr., other defendants, were found not guilty. D. H. McNeill and C. M. Win frey were the ones from whom the chickens were stolen, Winfrey missing six hens and a rooster after one of the raids. Every Body Spends HONEY TO SPEND IT WISELY. BUY THROWER’S ICE CREAM.

HAMLET SELECTED FOR OR.VTION-ESSAY CONTEST PINEBLUFF NEW MEXICO PASSES NORTH CAROLINA “According to population, we buy more cradles and fewer cof fins than any other state in the Union,” the late Governor Thom as Walter Bickett told the North Carolina Societji of Pennsylvan ia in Philadelphia December 4, 1920, in his now famous address on “Ho, For Carolina.” j “The records show that our' death rate is the lowest, and our; birth rate the highest, of any j state,” this state’s war Govern-j or said. Since that time the State of North Carolina has maintain ed this “first” almost every year, especially in the high birth rate.
