FIVE YEARS OLD Washington Paper Huger For Grist For Anti-Prohibition Mill WASHINGTON. Feb. 6.—News has just reached Washington of the death of Stephen S. Holt. Smithfield lawyer, who was in stantly killed June 1, 1925. when Detective Jesse Wyatt, of the Ral eigh police department, opened fire at an automobile which fail ed to .stop at his order. This unlawful shooting was so severely condemned by the News and Observer and other North Carolina newspapers at the time that public opinion was aroused to such an extent that officers ceased tin1 practice of shooting at automobile tires The News and Observer initiat ed a campaign of education that resulted in a reformation of unlawful practices, but none of this news, ever readied Wash ington apparently as the Wash ing Herald today carried on its front page an account of the shooting, which it got out of the Congressional Record of January 26, 1929. xma atxuum zs a aispaicn from Raleigh to the A.sheville Citizen under date of the shoot ing. The dispatch is printed in black type, and many a Wash ingtonian now labors under the impression that North Carolina is a state that still allows its police officers to shoot indis criminately. As a matter of fact Wyatt was brought to trial, convicted by a jury from Durham county, sen tenced to six months in the State Prison by Judge Midyette, and served a part of that sen tence. finally being pardoned by Governor McLean. None of these developments are given in the Washington Herald account, which explains how misleading is much of the anti-prohibition propaganda in the National Capital. So mislead ing is it that members of Con gress must rely upon papers from their own and other states to as ceitain the status of public opin ion.- Prom News and Observer Bureau. FUNERAL MRS .A. M.

Stanley, who departed this life November 14, 1929. Oh the mem ory of that, morning as I stood with aching heart and saw trie dear mother so swiftly taken by death. Rest on, dear mother, your labor is over. You are gone to dwell with the angels on heav-1 en's bright shore. A faithful mother both true and kind, a better mother will never be found. No one knows the heartaches, oh. who can realize the grief that' is crowning my pathway for my dear loved one today. Dear moth- ‘ ci, I am sad and lonely, to-'< night, thinking of you. I will! never forget you. dear mother, j though long may seem the day and often in lonely hours I wipe the tears away. When the Lord who gave doth call us we know we must to him bow. As the roll ing stream of life is passing and my mind is called to the duties' of my home, an old vacant chair recalls the smile and sweet de \ otion of one who will no more sit there. In my heart your mem ory lingers. I can almost hear your voice singing with the ang els around the throne. I dreamed last night of seeing you asleep on the other shore, not, in the cas ket I last^ saw you in, but one spotless and white as snow. Dear mother, you are gone and I am left alone. The flowers I lay on your grave wither and turn to mold, but the love for my dear mother will never glow old. Brother and sisters, let’s all try to live a life to meet mother in heaven is my humble prayer. —A loving Daughter, Mrs. Ashley Benson. SHOWS LETTER WRITTEN RY CIVIL WAR SOLDIER. D. O. I.assiter, of near Four Oaks, was in town this week and showed the following letter which was written by Byth-an L. TocJ while a soldier during the Civil War. It was written at* Plymouth, Washington county, on July 21?, j 1804, and was addressed to his j father, Led nick Tool. The letter was as foMcjwa: “My dear Father: I take the present opportunity of answering !ycur very kind and welcome let ter. of the 18th which came to hand last night. It gave me great I satisfaction to hear from you all but did render me uneasiness to hear that your health was get ting worse.

There is some sickness in Com pany D yet, but not as much as has been. E. O. Beasley is down with chillis. Uncle John Lee is mending as fast as could be ex pected. He can’t walk about much yet but as much as almost any man could that had been as sick ai^ he has been. He sends his love to all hiis friends and wishes to be remembered to you all but had ralther be with you to take some cider.

Like the wcalther “beautifica tion. of the highway” has. been much discussed but little done alniut it. The women’s clubs have agitated the subject, the highway commission is interested, also the state department of comseirviaf ion an.,i development, is behind the proposition. The latest news is that. North Carolina ainl Florida have been chosen by the Ameri can Nature Association as the m!oi: t prcnriising for good results in highway beautification. Also Mrs. W. L. Lawton, chairman of National Council for Protection of Roadside Beauty, and chairman ' cf rural highway advert is mg of the General Federation is making a survey of the state, taking pho tographs, speaking before groups cf women and men showing the possibilities of beautification, and ajt it he same time (we presume) creating interest. Let us hope good results -will fellow and that Mrs. Lawton will turn her camera on the mammoth and unsightly dug outs -on the highway, caused by digging down embankments, to get grit to fill in washes on other roads at places five miiles distant, ft seems to us the first step to be taken is to conserve all. of the natural beauty in sight and not make one road more unsight ly by constructing another. And neither do yen need to appeal to the man in charge for he very quickly informs you, with the air of a superior officer, that he is acting within the bounds of (the law. All of this is done within a stone’s throw of your vine and fig tree—but it is according to law. We also have observed in many in stances tliat trees have been cut down that could have been spar ed. Let us hope that Mrs. Lawton in her survey of the highway will do effective work with her cam era and by talking will show the necessity cf conserving that which we have.—The Uplift. PLANTATION GARDENS FOR EASTERN TERRITORY RAILRIG'TT, .Ian. 27.—»One large garden, known as the plantation garden, where tenants and iand I owner may produce needed vege tables and share alike in those grown, will be urged by the Ag mcultural Extension Service of ! State College throughout eastern 'Carolina this year under a plan proposed by 0. F. McCrary, dis trict agent in Central North Car olina. i M.r. McCrary proposed this idea |3t a meeting recently held in I Scotland county. There the idea was enlarged upon to /include plantation dairies, plantation poul try flocks and probably planta tion Kjwine herds. However, the plan of having one central garden was immediately adopted and the county home and farm agents re port that several will be establish ed in the county this season. Un der this plan, it is suggested that the owner will not urge bis ten ants to have several small gardens about over the farm but that one main garden will be established near the owner’s home where each tenant will work as needed -and from which he will get his supply of fresh vegetables for the •table and some to can for use next winter. The owner will sup ply the seeds and fertilizer ani will look after its oultivation. iBut Scotland county agricultural leaders are not limiting: their gar den plans to this one idea. A number of demonstration gar dens will be established at central points about over the county and both the home and farm agents will aid the owners in producing a year around supply of vege tables. The plan adopted in Scotland county for this year will be as a demonstration or model to other counties in -the central district. Mr. McCrary says that the home and the farm agent will have one program throughout and each will assist the other. The district home agent, Mrs. Cornelia C. Morris of State College, has also agreed to these plans and will aid in their fulfillment. Presbyterian Services. Sunday school at 10 a. m. Smithfield Sunday at 11 a. m., and Oakland at 7:30 p. m.
