Tuesday, July 3, 1934 Union Services It is well that all the Williamston churches join in union services each Sunday night during the sum mer months. It will make us better religious neigh bors. It will tend to break down the middle wall or partition between the various church people. The apparent differences^ ptus the individual church people, is the greatest drawback to our Chris tian system. When we cooperate in the true spirit of Christianity, we will make a better impression on the world. Let the Williamston people earnestly strive"to show forth the spirit of true brotherhood. Abernethy's Claims Congressman Charles L. Abernethy made himself the laughingstock of the country when he stated in the Halls of Congress that $10,000 a year was not enough for him, that he was a $20,000-a-year man. Now, he comes back with another statement and makes an ass of himself when he claims to have lost the nomination by fraudulent ballots. If his state ment is true, then there has never been such fraud in the world as tj^^racticed injh^jhirtl ton gressional district on"^une 3rti. The truth seems to be that Abernethy falsified when he said he was a $20,000-a-year man, and also when he said he was defrauded out of the nomina tion to succeed himself. - We need to let others weigh and measure us. Then UP U/lll fflmp nuarur fin/linni./\mI our ww e? a ? i wi i iv lieu I n lllltjIXtiL ttttt?UUI Choosing Our Lawmakers A prominent North Carolina attorney recently said, "A poor man cannot be nominated to office in a IJeni ocratk primary uless be is a tool of it factional ma chine." There is evidently a lot of truth in that statement. In the past half century, at least half of our legisla tors have been chosen by Railroads, special tax dodg ers, or some other interests seeking special legislation. This is a very unlortunate thing hnth for the inter ests and for the people. Both sides would have been far better on it our lawmakers had been left free to pass just laws, rather than to have forced a| division of honest thinking into a body of selfish legislators. The result has been to prejudice the public to the extent that railroads have been unable to get fair trials in the courts, all because of the laws they have sponsored through their legislative attorneys being more favorable to them than to their business asso ciates. Now they have to win their cases by rulings of the courts or suffer prejudiced judgments at the hands of a jury. No corporate lawyer can fairly take his legis lative pay and his corporate fee and act exactly square to both his masters. It is a sad day for the public interest when money and doubtful influence have more to do with the se lection of our officials than honesty, truth, and pro ficiency. The Way To Stop Lynching The awakening consciences of lawyers throughout the nation to speed up justice in both criminal and civil causes in the courts of our country is going to do more to quel] the spirit of lynching than any other one thing. ? There are very few people who will go into a lynch ing party, even under the most aggravating circum stances. The biggest excuse Is the slow processes of justice. Swift and equal justice to all men will sat isfy the public and redeem the dignity of the courts in the public mind from that feeling of distrust and, in some cases, contempt for the slow technicalities of the courts. Christian Character Building of character through the processes of edu cation is looming up in most Christian nations. In recent years, it has seemed to be the main trend to teach two things?one bow to make money, the other bow u> dodge work. Both principles or ideals have proven very faulty, and the very fact that one of the prior Iplm of our educational centers is toward edu cating for lives of service by honest, safe and sound methods of living with our friends and neighbors on a SO-SO basis, where all are willing to give fair weights A Worn-Out Controversy Docs the Federal Government owe Raleigh or Greensboro any special favors or any debt? Those cities seem to think in such terms. They have been fuming and muttering about the location of the United States Collector's office for a long time. They have pulled political wires pro and con all the way from North Carolina to Washington. The people generally do not care a whit whether they write "Greensboro'' or "Raleigh'' when they send in their income-tax returns. All they are interested in is in trying to meet their check by the time it nets back. If economy in operation finds Greensboro more suitable than Raleigh, let Greensboro have it. If Manteo or Murphy is better, then let it go either east ir west. The folks are tired of a quarrel between Raleigh and Greensboro over the location of a government office because of selfish interests. Such things are in part the cause of much bad and costly government. Teach Rules of Safety Every Hay news comes of some drowning. Gener ally at some resort, but frequently at some old pond, where the boys slipped off-drum their parents and iome of them got into deep water. Sometimes they live into shallow water and kill themselves. s?imiriiny U one of the finest of all sports, and rverybody needs to be taught the art of swimming. 1'et every person needs to know the danger of deep cater and swift currents. W'e might reduce death by Irowning at least half by giving people proper in .truction. A little of our war expenditures convert ?d to teaching safety methods would be a good thing. Too many people drown because they do not know he elementary rules of safety. Swtft Justice ? V>u>s and Observer. Among the many excellent suggestions made at the neeting of the State Bar in Durham, there was none vhich will do more to speed the processes of justice han that which would deny bail [lending appeal to lefendants after conviction of felony. Today, as in ,ome notable recent cases, the criminal who possesses he means and has at his service shrewd attorneys an go free for months and years while his lawyers pin out legal processes to such an extent that the ourts are made ridiculous and swift justice is de lied. If such prisoners were required to wait in jail lending appeal, they would have less incentive to lrnltilitr lf'1/.ii.I t rrt u post's lit,' uupru I I'lliiio *j1 luif-.il a I.. . o ftwi pi ov c juc j J till it-VJflZIAUl irctll Uv ace. The Will To Kill ?? Vffffi. Q"U Observer. , "1 want- to lie in on the tHni of the NRA," say? A'. \V. Seal, of Marion, who, by the resignation ot 'larence ltarruw, has become chairman of the NRA eview board. Mr. Seal talks in the language of fox;. hunt, He alts in terms of the joy of hounding the quarry to leath aud nut iii the least in terms of a man seefc ng to discover mistakes and point out remedies. An iently known as an old order, right-wig conserva ive, Mr. Neal has joined hands with those equally veil known as old order, left-wing radicals to damn MRA. Insofar as the review board pointed danger ius tendencies toward mono|x>ly in the present NRA et-up, the review board performed valuable services. there was need that errors be made clear so that emedies could be sought and clearly applied. But it is difficult to see how any good can come of the will to. kill which Mr. N'eal expresses in his desire to be in It the death. ' Mr. Neat may be In at the death of NkA. TIe may tie in at the death of the AAA, the CWA. the f'WA, the FERA. the TVA, and FDR. if he is, however, here is the chance, not to be underestimated, that le will be in at the death of the USA. The will to till in the economic and social advance of America today is dangerously like that of Sampson in the tem ple, and the certainty is that if the temple is pulled down it will not be hhly the Neals who are smashed. Is the Laborer Worthy ot His Hire? Scotland Neck Commonwealth. c Just what the condition of North Carolina schools and teachers will be when another scholastic year ends ts hard to predict, Dili the Stale Democratic Conven tion which was held two weeks ago in the Capital City and the Supreme Court of North Carolina both "went to t|je bat" in their behalf two weeks ago. Kach sees through a glass clearly in regard to the educational system of today's North Carolina schools and are seeking to remedy their plight as early as pos sible. Among other planks in the State Democratic plat form, it looks to the future with this promise to the schools of the state: "The Democratic party again pledges its faith in the principle of state support of public schools for the full term of eight months without resort to ad valor em taxation, and makes its promise of a reasonable Increase in the salaries of teachers by direct appropria tion for that purpose if adequate revenue can safely be found." Another point scored for the schools was made re cently when Associate Justice Clarkson, in writing the Supreme Court's opinion in the matter of payment of teachers' salaries supplemented in 1Q.t?-Vt ?nH wot paid in the city of Charlotte, said: "No class of our citisens have greater responsibili ties and duties to perform than oyr school teachers? to them are committed the children of the state, after they leave home, for training, guidance, and direc tion. The burden is great, and it is a matter of com mon knowledge that they have borne it with com mendable patience and fortitude. They are mostly bread winners and the payment of their reduced sal aries is naturally a great hindrance to efficiency and peace of mind?to important in training the young. How can they pay for their daily bread if they arc not paid? 'The laborer is worthy of his hire.'"

Unequal Returns Pointed Out by Hutson in Talk At Asheville Asheville.?The outlook fur cigar- j ette grades of tobacco in the next two t to five years was described in a speech 1 lure last week by J. li. Hutson, chief , j 'of the tobacco section of the farm ad- I ministration as "promising. if the profits of manufacturers are kept at reasonable levels." Hutson, Itdllrcasing the annual con*; vention of thpgnational association of tobacco warehousemen, said that in 1932 tobiKCO growers received only 1 $105,000,000 lor their crop, while a I dozen administrative officials of to I bacco manufacturing? companies re ?i j.juj j-LUjir enn f,,r ---- -,nni ceivc over |?,3w,wu lor personalserv ices "or as much as was received by 10,000 faun families f"? their labor,-j Tor the use of their farm, and for the purchase of necessary supplies.' "I have no quarrel with tobacco manufacturers," Hutson declared. "They have played the game under the rules that were laid down for them. Theirs is a profit motive as other groups.

Thin-Shelled Eggs; Cause and Remedy At tl?ts time of the year many of he hens are going out of production ind there is a tendency for a lack of :alcihcatk>n of the shell. There is lothing to he done in this case ex ept to collect the eggs several times , day which will save them from be ng broken in the nest. There is a >ossibility, however, that the birds are lot receiving sufficient calcium. This hould be supplied by having oyster he birds at all times. A careful check >f the flock will indicate whether the ?irds are going out of production or vhether there is a deficiency in cal ttim. ? . ? r~ ?
