Tne claim put up by the advocate*
ui wine ami beer mollification of tht
liquor law* in order to save young
m«n iron* Orunkenneas seems to b
about the same as the making of I
law allowing boys to break in gro
eery stores to keep them from blow
in# bank sales, or to give them the
right to make counterfeit nickels to
keep them from making counterfeit
oeliam, or a law giving them th«
right to shoot babies to keep then
from assassinating the president and
his cabinet.
fhe arguments for liquor are som«
times without any reason whatever,
end the man who wants wine or beer
to keep him from drinking is not on
very safe ground.
EIGHT-MONTH SCHOOLS IN DUB
HAM COUNTY
Durham County will have eight
month schools in every district. The
teachers in that county, where the
fund will not pay the full 8-month
term, are teaching for half of their
regular salary to help make up the
full term.
This is easy in the rich county of
Durham, which has so few schools un
der eight months, and which has a
low school tax, but it can not be ex
pected in counties like most of the
agricultural counties, where there are
so many short-term schools.
The segregation of property and
corporate taxes has worked a very
great hardship on the poor counties,
making each county pay its own
school expenses.
As an illustration, Martin County
pays about four times more tax on its
property as Forsyth, and yet they
have more teachers according to
school population than Martin County.

syth, Mecklenburg, and Guilford

it .Sometime ago 1 visited a triend ox
e mine and every time 1 see this iriend,
n or even his name is recalled, 1 think
d of this verse from the Bible:
"Not that 1 speak in respect of
a want; for 1 have learned in what
soever state 1 am, therein to be
, r content.—Philippians, 4:11."
n 1 have never known my friend U.
he restless, but always calm and pa
tient. and when you talk with him you
, know that he is at peace with the
world. I like to talk with this man
when 1 am restless, unhappy, disconr
aged and discontented, for it seems
6 1 that he can read your very thought*
e | ar>d sends you away happy and con
h | tented. His life has not been a bed
r j of loses. He has had his ups and
# i dewns, even as you and I, but he has
I learned in whatsoever state therein to
' be content. Years ago he gave vent
* to that spirit that allows no dullness
" within, and he held on to that spirit
* to adult life, middle age, and even
8 row when his hair is whitened by the
e many summers.
To many people life is a monoto
nous existence, which in a large meas
V ure is due to discontentment They
fail to find gladness in their daily
1 activities and their souls are sour and
they become embittered. They are
/ lestless and discontented. They are
i' not the "Master of their fate nor the
t explain of their soul."
» In the game we call life many hands

this is often in the state of mind. At
tines it is very apparent that some
are given those things that make life
a gladsome experience, while to others
life is one hard knock after another.
But if we had the power to look into
the hearts of others, we would seldom
want to exchange our lives for theirs.'
The happy people you see have their
' troubles and disappointments. But to
them the joys of life are far greater
than the sorrows. They think of the
rood things and are thereby able te
edjust themselves and be content
SORROW IS SACRED
Sorrow is one of the most sa
cred things in the world—and we
do not intrude upon it a charge
that is not in keeping with the ac
tual value? furnished. That is why
we are so well spoken of by the
many people that we have served.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOK
GOOD FRIDAYS
Nearly 2,000 years ago on the first
Good Friday ,no doubt the great mul
titude of people in Jerusalem stopped
their work, some closing their busi
ness houses or possibly in the excite
ment ran off and left them open ana
( followed the Christ to "Calvary's
I Brow," where they spent about six
hours watching the events of and wait
ing for His death. Three of the hours
being darkness surely startled them
j more.
The few words recorded aa being
spoken by Christ in that time can
■tasily be repeated in a very short
while now and mean the same, and
they would sink deeper in our hearts
than they do by merely hearing them
il we could imagine ourselves near
the cross while hearing them and med- '
itate on them for that length of time,
but where is a person who meditates
on such subjects that long without i
some other reason than just for medi
tution's sake? And whose boson. J
would not swell with both sorrow and
wiy and who would not be better Bat
itfled with their knowlcdie of the oc
asion after a three-hour meditation ?
J. Alphonso Everett
For The House of Representatives
The undersigned friends and have heard with a great deal of p
neighbors of J. Alphonso Everettleasure of his candidacy for the
House of Representatives. Mr. Everett's character and ability, in
our opinion, is such that he will make a very creditable representa
tive of Martin County in the next General Assembly. He is an ac
tive farmer, living on his own land and assisting in the cultivation
thereof personally, therefore knows the problems affecting farm
ers. He has also been very active in the community life of Goose
* Nest Township and has assisted in the community
having for their objcet the betterment of the people. Mr. Everett
is a high-toned Christian gentleman and will, in our judgment, re
flect credit on himself and the county as its representative, and we
urgently request for him the support of the Democrats of Martin
County.

No Christian ever regretted the
three hoars that they have lived with
God daring the three-hour Lenten
services on Uooa Friday that is being
held in some church of almost every
town each year. It is a time when
one feds nearer to God than at any
other time of thair life. Of coarse,
there are times when we feel that we
should be nearer Him, but these two
feelings are entirely different '
Some consider the three hours quite
a sacrifice when they have to leave;
their work, bat no person with any,
desire whatever to be s Christian will
ever regret it Nobody ever attended,
a three-hour Lenten service without!
leaving either a better or a worse
person.
