A fence may be uaeful or net. It ie true.
But each heart was briaafull at pity
For those who slipped over the dangerous cliff;
And the dwellers la highway and valley
Gave pound or gave pence, not la put a fern,
But an ambulance down la the valley.
"For the cliff is all right if you're careful,'* the; said,
' And if folks ever slip or are dropping.
It isn't the slipping that harts them ae much
As the shock down below when they're slopping."
Then an old sage remarked, "It's a marv el to me
That people give far more attention
To repairing results than to slopping the cause.
When they'd much better aim at prevention
Let us stop at its source all this mischief." cmd lie,
"Come, neighbors and friends, let us rally;

'Dispense with the ambulance? Never!
He'd dispense with all charities, too, if he could.
But no! We'll protect them forever,
Aren't we picking folks up just as fast as they fall?

Philadelphia Offers
Advice
"If you don't ever want to get
your neck broke, tell a woman noth
ing," Oliver Grimes, 44-year-oH
colored man, said this week behind
[he bars in the Martin County jail,
where he is awaiting trial in the
March court for the murder of Rich
ard Smith in the upper part of the
flinty 14 years ago Grimes ex
plained that he told his common-law
wife in Philadelphia what he had
done down in Martin County, that
everything was all right after that
until they quarreled. He slapped
her and she turned him o\yer to the
Philadelphia police. "And if you do
tell a woman something, don't ever

Grimes left his wife and from that
time until now he has heard noth
ing from her. lie does not know
whether she is dead or alive, mar
ried again, or where she is. "I cer
tainly would like to see her, but I
can't blame her if she does not come
to see me and help me now," Grimes
said.
The 44-year-old negro, a native of
Pitt County, talked about the recent
depression in Philadelphia, pointing
out that it was "plenty bad" there
for a while, but that lunditiuiu hud
improved considerably
Grimes did not talk much about
the killing of Smith in a crap game
near Oak City, and did not appear
at all worried as he saton his bunk
in the jail with a fellow prisoner,
nonchalently smoking a cigarette
and playing some game of cards
