Hats off to Benson for win ning the page advertisement in The Manufacturer’s Record. That is a prize worth winning. A publication of nation-wide im portance will tell what Benson has to offer as a town in one of the fifty best counties in the United States. “TEN IN ONE” THE SLOGAN A paragraph from the Benson News items this week reads: “Benson is beginning to talk Hhe Exposition to be held in Smithfield April 13 to 18 and she is ready to do her part to help put it over. Let us a^ get in tune for this@big event and put across it across in the way John st®i county always does things." Johnston County with her 5<J, 000 people and ten hustling towns should present a solid phalanx behind the Exposition^ and we believe the above item is typical of the jgntiment throughout the County. “Ten in One” is a good slogan to adopt In unity there is strength. A chain is as strong as its weak est link. There should be weak lij^js in the chain of John ston County towns backing this, the greatest enterprise under taken by the county. Secretary Bartlett is pleased with the co operation and interest he finds In the county and he confidently expects the third exposition held in Eastern Carolina to be as good if not better than those al ready held at Wilson and Kins ton. FACTS ID COMMENTS One Mrs. Rowen of Hollywood. Cal ifornia, •'!aimed to have had a divine “message” revealing that the second coming of Christ would occur last Fri day, February G. According to her “prophecy” only a small number of people now living in America would These would be tinder the leadership be chosen to meet Christ in the clouds, of Mrs. Rowan. And she found people j here and there over the country who had faith in her. Some sold their prop erty, and otherwise made ready for the great event. About a hundred years ago Joseph Smith claimed that an angel had re vealed to him the location of some golden tablets on which was recorded the Bok of Mormon. Smith translated this book, after which the angel came and took the tablets away. And he got away with it. Quite a large num ber of people believed him. Even now there are still a large number of peo ple over the world who accept this Book of Mormon as a divinely re vealed supplement to the Bible. The guarantee of religious freedom is one of our cherished rights, but it certainly results <§>occasionally in some peculiar manifestations. - # Recently a prominent and aged man was<gvisited by two total stran gers who persuaded him to exchange cotton mill stock worth some $40, 000.00 for some other stock which was worth nothing. These smooth tongued rascals broke down their victim’s ordinary good sense by a promise of unusual earnings on the stock which they offered him. If this man had first taken a few days to investigate these strangers and their proposition they would have disappeared from his locality and that quickly. His banker would gladly have made the investigation. -o Edward W. Bok in his new book. Twice Thirty, tells an interesting sto ry of what President Wilson^ said when he told Bok of his intention to go to Paris: “ ‘Risky,’ I commented. ‘For g^hom or what?’ he asked. ‘For you and your personal pres tgie,’ I answered. “That i.0not thg question,’ he fair ly snapped out. “My personal future or my political fortunes matter not. It is what I can do on the ground bet ter than from this distance. I know I cannot »ealize the impossible things that the people of Europe feel I can do. I know all that. ITtnow there will be a tumble, and I’ll be the one to do the tumbling act. That is inevit able. No man can make good as a Deity. It’s the cause I am after; not what becomes of me. The cause I am after; not what becomes of me. The cause,” he repeated, as he wheeled around and looked out through the window. Then as his eye fell on the distance vroere the Lincoln memorial was to be, he turned to me and said: ‘I believe Lincoln would have rone.' ” In this there is a very fine trib=. bute to both Wilson an<{«JLincoln.

C. m Governor Wins In m Road Bond Issue t Continued From Page One) net result of the Morrison speech will probably be nil and if he keeps at the issue some pftt of his own following undoubtedly will drift away. The sentiment here seems to be that he should close his mouth and stop interpreting differences of opinion on State policies as personal attacks up on himself. Josiah William Bailey issued a statement charging various kinds of extravagances against ^ie State gov ernment. Undoubtedly many of the Raleigh lawyer’s contentions were true and there are many improve ments to be made in the administra tion of departments. Mr. McLean has promised, if the executive budget system is passed to give his personal attention to elimination of waste and the people seem to have confidence in him to carry out his promises. Some of the folks ^re saying that Mr. Bai ley should have given the new Gov ernor a chance to make good on his pledges before launching his broad side. Others take the opposite view and appear to feel that now is the op portune time to bring the matters mentioned in the Bailey statement to the attention of the General Assem bly and the public. Still another school of observers say there is a waste in departmental operations but that Mr. Bailey confined himself to criticism and did not offer suggestions of corrective measures. It is further suggested that tf& Raleigh lawyer saw the tide drifting in the direction of economy and want ed to get aboard the band-wagon; that a conference with Governor Mc Lean on the subject and an offer to help solv^the problems of the admin 1 istration, would have ipt*en a course : for Mr. Ba®y to0ojjo,w. 'yhicli would have been a course for Mr. Bailey to follow which would have earneiLhim a wide commendation. The cflhrge of extravagance has been made and whether Mr. Bailey was the proper one to make it is quite beside the ) question, in the opinion of quite p large group of citizens and legisla tors. Corrective measures are thought to be in order and general changes may be reduced to more concrete in stances before the session ends. The budget system proposed by Governor McLean would, it is believed, prevent unnecessary expenditures for operat ing expenses in the future and place the fiscal affairs of the State on a strictly business basis. A mild sensation in aUmistrative and legislative circles followed the publication, on Friday, of the cost of legislative commissions during the past two years, the sum total amount ing to $154,053.08, viz: “Lost Prov idences” Railroad Commission, $49, 747.04; Price Water House Commis sion, $39,657.62; Legislative Examin ing Commission, $17,671.98; Ship and ; Water Transportation Commission, $16,820.47; Land Tenancy Commission This space is left blank for the delinquent tax payers. • • W. L. FULLER # City t^ri^ $7,383.56; Sanatorium Investigating Committee, $6,038.75; Commission for re-indexing the Consolidated Statutes $5,961.67; State Prison Investigating Commission, $5,198.14; Budget Com mission $3,748.71; National Park Com mission, $1,865.14 To the total cost of the commissions to the State, ac cording to the calculators, should be added the expenses of a special session of the General Assembly last summer which has not yet been worked out. However, the “lid is on” now and Gov ernor McLean has set himself to the task of actually getting the State’s expenditures back in line with its hitherto deficient revenues, or ascer taining the reason why it cannot be done. The decision of the Supreme Court that the Legislature has no legal right to create “special” judges to re lieve court congestion, it is believed will bring about a creation of addi tional judicial districts. Already a bill has been offered in the House in creasing the number from twenty to twenty-seven. This me&is the cre ation of seven regular judges by au thority of the Legislature. The Su preme Court’s decision was based on the fact that the Legislature has no right to amend the Constitution. The Constitution provides that “emergen The Delinquent Tax List For The Town of Kenly, Johnston County, Will Be sold at Public Auction on the First Monday in March, or March 2nd, 1925 at 12 o’clock At The Mayor’s Office in the Town of Kenly, N.

C. • cy” judges are those who have been retired but can be called back to pre side over special courts to relieve congestion. The Legislature had considered creating “special’' judges to care for emergencies, but the mem bers came face to face with the Con stitution. However, the law-making body has the right to create addition al judiciary districts, or circuits, or circuits, which automatically car ries the increase in the number of judges. The “bus bill” successfully ran the gauntlet of the Senate and reached the House calendar on Saturday. It is expected to pass that body during the present week. This wni place the an te-city bus lines under the supervision Commission. The road bilL providing $20,000,000 for bonds is exfected this week to g0 its way through both branches of the Assembly, with no opposition in sight.
