WILLiAMSTON MORALS
N2ED STRENGTHENING
There may be two answers to this
question but we can hardly think so.
Ail cities and towns have to make a
great fight aguiiist that which is im
moral. This has been the history of
all ages and as morality goes down,
so doe„ nations, states, cities and
towns.
It may' be.fhat the .word morols is
too general in its scope to bt ar on
the pou.i at issue with sufficient force,
perhaps the word cuaste is more ap
propriate.

RUNNING ANTELOPE'S VIEWS
OF HONESTY OF AGENTS
IN THE spring of 1874. while the
Seventh cavalry was stationed at
Fort Abraham Lincoln, N. D., a band
of Hunkpapa Sioux from a reservation
near by came to the fort to ask Gen
eral Custer for the food which they
much needed. The steamer bringing
the supplies issued theiu by the In
dian depart incut had been frozen in Ice
In the Missouri river and they had
been compelled to eut their dogs and
pontes to keep from starving.
Having decided to seek aid from the
military, they brought with them their
greatest orator, Hunnlng Antelope
(Tahlncasula inyanke), a line-looking,
dignllled old warrior, to present their
cause. Running Antelope described at
length the distressing condition of the
trll>e and dcuounced their Agent, ac
cusing all agents of dishonesty.
At point General Ouster Inter
rupted and asked the Interpreter to
Bay to the chief that (lie Great Father
selected only good men for agents be
fore sending them out from Washing
ton. When this was explained to Hun
nlng Antelope he siulled grimly and,
through the Interpreter, replied: "Well,
they may be good men when they leave
the Great *F/»ther, but they get to be
d —d cheats by the time they reach
us."
After Jhe council was orer, General
Custer Invited Itunlilng Antelope and
his chiefs Into a dining room of his
quarters for a feast. Dlgnltled and im
pressive as the old chief wits while
speaking In u council, he wus not so
admirable as a tahle companion. After
gorging himself on everything In sight,
Ike emptied the plates and swept the
remains of the feast from the very
noses of his headmen, into the folds
of his robe. Then he belted It at his
waist, making a "capacious haversack,
grunted his appreciation of die hos
pitality and stalked from the room.
Although Itunning Antelope had not
learned tahle manners (according to
white men's lights) In the tepees of
his fathers, he was s first class light
ing man.
The majority of his victims were
members of the Arlkara tribe. Ills
hag of Arlkaras for IHW! was ten war
riors and three women, ills greatest
single feat was the slaying of live
warriors in one day. In the 12 years
which the record covers he confesses,
graphically, to dlspatchlug no less
than .'lO of these hereditary foes of the
Sioux, a record of systematic homicide
wbl'-h tinub+lrsK gave tltTll as great a
reputation among his tribesmen for be
ing .i wai'ier he enjoyed among the
whites a-- an orator.

(The following poem was writtep
by a booster for a new school build

voted on in the coming primary by
the citizens of Robersonville.)
Wives ane requested to read the fol

now until June the 3rd, and it might
be well for the young ladies to read

widows to the widowers.

Hut we're still burning gas;
We haven't stopped riding,
We're still living fast.
Let's vote fax the school.
We go to theshow, W ~\r
We buy giiufjNtjnd gum;
We smoke and wiTflrink,
(But it's never monkey ruth).
Let's votef or a better school.
We wear silk rdesses,
And shoos 'most ten a pair;
Lovely silk hosiery,
And satin underwear.
Can't we vote for the school ?
We ride out to bathe,
We ride out to fish;
We buy pretty trinkets,
Or most anything we wish.
l.iet's vote for a better school.
We farmers are progressive,
We use modern tools.
Education has helped us;
We believe in good schools.
We'll vote for the schol.
A dollar on the thousand,
That's small, we confess;
If we don't vote for the school,
Will our present tax be less?
Let's vote for a better schopl.
The school is unattractive,
We don't visit it;
The light hurts our e>es;
The seats don't fit.
liet's vote for the school.
The first grade, room is hopeless,
So is the siith;
The eleventh grade, is homeless,
The seventh's in a fix.
So let's vote for a modern

We must go forward or backward,
We cannot stand still;
I'ut your hands to the plow,
We can go forward if we will.
Vote for the school.
What's the community to us,
we get our living here?
Ix't's get together now,
We'll show the children that we can
We'll give them a better
school.
Our children are discouraged,
They'll ne'er be young again;
Competition is increasing,
They must prepare to meet it then.
Let's give them, a better

Life is short we'll soon pass on,
Many of us are growing old;
Let's leave our children a heritage,

It enables many millions to make

Without equipment, we know;
Let's provide it for them,
And watch the cshool grow.

CUT IN FREIGHT RATES
The cut in freight rates recently
mad? by the Interstate Commerce
Commission will greatly relieve the
country. The cut will average around
10 per cent. We are told the reduc
tion on the Coast Line will amount
to 12 1-2 per cent This should help
to stimulate business but the best pol
icy is to accept the "One Word Ser
mon on business Conditions" which
is "Kwitcherbetliakin." Shippers have
been very discouraged to see more
than half the value of many products
go to the railroads for freight.

SHEEP RAISING IS
VERY PROFITABLE
With prices of wool and lambs go
ing up day by day, sheepmen of
North Carolina will be repaid for
their efforts in the business and their
willingness to continue injspittt of low
prices.
"A large percentage of the westerf
clip has changed hands," says the
breeder's Gazette of May 18, "and the
eastern market is clamoring for wool.
The marketing of 85 per cent of the
Oregon clip ran the prices from 27
and 28 cents to '35 cents and 38, and
in some cases 40 cents. In anticipa
tion, of further advancements, wea
vers are adding to the price of their
fabrics."
Quotations from Philadelphia May
22 show that 1-4 and 3-8 blood wool
was worth 40 cents and half blood
42 cents. As practically all wool from
North Carolina grade 1-4 to 3-8, our
farmers may expect 40 cenes a pound
ut the lowest, with a possibility of
60 cents in tlie future. To find what
your wool is worth, ask your freight
agent the rate to l'hiladelpria ami de
duct from quoted prices.
Attention is also called to tlie pos
sibility of getting more money for
your wool and lambs by cooperate
shipments. Ask your county agent
about this, an dif you have no county
agent, write to the Division of Mar
kets, N. C. Department of Agricul
ture, Raleigh, N. C., and they will aid
in every possible wya.
THE JUVENILE COURTS OF
NORTH CAROLINA
During the past eleven months a
bout 8,000 children have been handled
by the juvenile courts in tlie state.
This estimate is made from reports
senti n by the superintendents of pub
lic welfare in fifty-fie otvnuc4pprs
lie welfare in fifty-five counties where
4,043 children have been handled. The
disposition of the cases that came be
fore the coutr was as follows:
482 dinuK.sed.
1,241 returned home on probation.
450 placed in temporary homes.
365 Hunt to institutions.
* 38 adopted.
60 disposed of otherwise.
In li>l9 a state wide juvenile court
law was passed, establishing u juve
nile court in every county in the state
with the clerk of the. court as judge.
Dependent, neglected and delinquent
children up to sixteen years of age
com undr tine supervision of the judge
of the juvenile court and the super
intendent of public welfare. Careful
and intelligent consideration of each
cane is necessary if the welfare of
the child is to be safeguarded.
Most of the clerks of court are real
izing their responsibility and are do
ing excellent work. Home of them
have gone to other states to study
the work of well established courts in
order to do their own work better.
Approval of such service as this
should be expressed by the voter in
the June primaries and county con
ventions for the nomination of such
officers. Candidates fo jthis office
should LK considered not only on their
qualifications to do the clerical work
of the county court, but on their per
sonality, character and ability to haii
dle children. Many interesting stories
could be told of tlie unselfish service
given.—l'ublic Welfare Progress,

IN MEMORIAM
In loving remembrance of our little
boy, Oundera Glenn Whitley, who
died May 24th, 1 918.
Alittle childish voice is stilted;
Two little hands are crossed
Two little eyes forever closed.
The smile so sweet to us is lost.
We know our darling is at rest,
Within the tender Shepherds fold;
He took him from this sinful world,
He shiedls him from its blast and
cold.
But how we miss our darling boy,
And Oh, our longing hearts are sore
To elasp again the little one
That left us for a brighter shore
We hope, some day, to meet again,
/ Our little Ounders, our darling one
And now, dear Lord, we bow our
heads
And calmly say "Thy Will be Done"

The $200,000 loan fund to the Pea
nut Growers Exchange practically as
sured, is the outstanding feature of
the big meeting in Suffolk Saturday,
May 20th, when more than 2,000 pea
nut growers from Virginia and North
Carolina with their wives and chU

piro and to enjoy the big barbecue
dinner.
At 11 o'clock when president W. J.
Story called upon Kec. W. W. Staley
to open the meeting with prayer, the
Academy of Music was so completely
packed that further admittance wa*
denied to hundreds of other growers.
