WORisHiP OF SCIENCE .•
Science has again become the ob
ject of wcrstiip. This time Luthe»
Hurbank makes it his God.
It is a strange tiling why a human
being will worship anything he pos
sesses in excess of normal need, "yet
it is true that they will do so.
Poor ir.en never worship money—
they do not have enough, all they have
has to be used for daily needs. We
do not worship our wardrobes unless
they are filled to overflowing. Vv e do
not worsliip our. beauty unless we
think we surpass others.
Just the same with Luther Hurbank.
lie worships science and says there is (
uo God; that Jesus was a fine fellow
but an infidel.
Mr. Liurbank dug deep enough
in a few of the tilings in nature to
change plants and improve them. He
has bred the seed out of certain types
of oranges and now we hail him us
the great plant wizard. He has done
many other things in the plant world
to make his name great. All these
things have appeared to kindle
vanity of the old man and make him
tay with boastfulness, "1 am an in
fidel. There is no God."
He seems to forget that he himself (
is breathing God's air several times
every minute; he uses God's
and rain to make his plants grow v
If Mr. liurbank will count the parts
he furnishes in the growth of plants
and then the number of things God
furnishes, and render a fair judgment,
he would doubtless admit there is
something in nature that surpasses
science.
There is ah author of science some
where. If it is not God, then, Mr.
Lurbank, what is it?

I WHY SO MUCH TALK ABOUT THE
HIGHWAY NUMBERS
i Why is there so much talk about
the State highway numbers? 'lhe
thing the people should be interest
, in is the highway and not tne num
ber. .
it is now certain, that the most east-
erly national highway crossing our
>' State from north to south will come
through the Main Street ol Yviliiain
ston. Our own State has named it
' Highway Number 30." If the mi - j
tional government wants to cooperate
1 in the project and wants to change the
i name or number we don't care.
> It is the road ami not the name that,
concerns us. Yet lots of folks are j
i taking credit either, ior keeping the
i olu name or procuring a new name.,
It is certain that the 12-mile link
, from the fork of routes 30 and 90 in
i Williamston to Windsor, where No. 30.
i will be intersected by the proposed [
I road leading from the new Chowan
bridge to Windsor will be a link in
the eastern highway, name or num
ber it anything you wish.

minister, now past 80, Urine here,
has a high opinion of Black-
Draught, which he says he has
taken when needed, for 25 years,
"For year* I had been ■ uttering
with iny liver," he says. "Some
times the pain would be very In
tense and my back would hurt all
the time. Black-Draught was the
first thing I found that would give
me any relief.
"My liver has always been slug
gish. Sometimes It glvee me a lot
of trouble. I have suffered a lot
with It —pains In my side and back,
and bad hpadache, caused from ex
treme biliousness.
iC-"' "After I found Black-Draught, I
would begin to take It as soon as I
felt a spell romlng on and It n>
lleved the cause at once. I can
recommend IT to anybody suffer
ing from liver trouble. A dose or
two now and then keeps me In good
form."
Made from selected medicinal
roots and herbs, and containing no
dangerous mineral drugs, Black-

A Pamlico's success is a success of quality; a quality
