All these were luxuries of the first degree. Then about nine or ten in the eve ning, he would knock the ashes fronf his pipe and say, "Well folks, you may sit up as long as you like; talk does not bother me when i get Sleepy and I've got to be up at three in the morning and get that big raccoon whose foot-tracks I saw today in the Hannah-field, while looking for a stray shoat." And to the bed in the corner he would go, and from which his snores would come forth long before the feathers under him got warm Was this not a luxury too? During those days a public wine seller did not stand so high with the "Lords-annointed"; but a private wine-cellar was the convention and the vogue with all who deemed.to live above the dust of privation, many of the "annointed" being among them; and Mr. Whitley had his wine-cellar. Was this not a lux ury calculated to conjure content ment "as a gentleman should"? He grew his grape and pestled his pulp; he squeezed his juice and brew ed his brew; he flavored his food and tasted his "tea" with His fellows and his friends in a convention way. Indeed, a luxury this be. Down in Georgia, there used to be a little jerkwater railroad travers ing the whole state, north and soutlr, from Augusta, on the Carolina bor der to Madison, Fla. It was built by the timber-people who "timbered" Georgia during the 80's and 90's, and who took the virgin long-leaf, stand ing like broom-sedge, at a dollar or two per acre. hill, and sloping dale, with no thought to grading to a level I trav eled the whole of it several times during the first decade of 1900 The bull-gine" would puff, and blow, and snort, and strain, up a pretty steep incline, and on reaching the top, would shut off steam, and coast down the other side; getting ready to snort up the next hill. As the straining car-couplings slackened at the end of a climb, the cars would buckle together with a whack and a jar that would jolt a passenger's hat off ;only to jolt and jerk it 'tuther way when the couplings tightened again on the next climb. This rail road ran through the section of Geor gia dubbed as "Tobacco Road" in the book and play of that name. I have since traveled the. same section over U. S. No. 1 South from Augusta and spent much time therein. I have seen this play, as well as the picture, and have traveled "To bacco Roads" in many other states. They all have them. Illinois as well as Alabama; Arkansas as well as Georgia; the Carolinas as well as Virginia, or there would be no W. P. A.'s these days, or "poor white trash'' of other days, all brought about by advantages in business deals, such as exemplified by the "timbering of Georgia." All this lead ing up to "Tobacco Road" and how its portrayal reminded me of some ^>f Mr. Whitley's "luxuries". When I saw the play, and saw the mortgag ed-up young land owner, inheritor of his father's endeavors and results, so sympathize with the old "share cropper" who had been "born and growed-up on the land," give him the last five dollars he had, and as sured the "share cropper" that he had "arranged" so he would not have to move for at least another year, and that he could go ahead and "pitch anuther crap," and saw the "sharecropper's" glee and glory at knowing he would not have to move tomorrow from "the land whar he was borned". and five dollars all his own; it reminded me of some of Mr. Whitley's "luxuries"; and which like, I fear was, is, and will continue to be possessed by Martin, Beaufort and many other counties and states and their fields of agriculture. There was another Whitley, of Martin County, a cousin of George Llewellyn's, who like him, went through the war for the Confeder acy; and who like him, came back to tell the tales of those days, one of which ijo other man than he could tell, for it happened not with any other. During that terrific on slaught of the Confederates up the hill at Gettysburg, when thousands fell in the charge, he who reached the furthermost point up the hill was a Martin County boy, and today the 'marker" commemorating the deed, and which stands at the spot where stood this Martin County boy, bears the name?Augustus Whitley. Second to none is this renown, not even the building, and manning, and putting into action, the world's first armored battleship. The Albemarle. Sharpen Axe For Large Cut In Non Defense Spending (Continued from page one) situation is the portending priori ties unemployment arising out of raw material shortages. Various stud ies have indicated from 1.500,000 to 3,000,000 workers will be displaced during the transition from civilian to defense production. Now that more recent events have indicated an accelerated diversion of raw ma terials from civilian industries, it appears these former estimates are understatements. Twelve states hold about 71 per cent of all the defense contracts; 20 industrial areas with only 20 per cent of total WPA employment hold 59 per cent of the defense contracts. The present indications are that of job openings in the next year 93 per cent will be concentrated in 21 states; 50 per cent will be in six states. ?The rnmmittee would curtail the CCC and NYA appropriations by $338,727,000. In conclusion, La Follette said: ? High morale?in fact, the very es sence of dynamic democi?js de pendent upon a whole nation enjoy ing at least a minimum of the nec essaries and comforts of life All the social legislation of the past decades, all the trends toward greater public assistance for the underprivileged have had the wholesome effect of tending to make democracy a real ity in America . . . To cripple or destroy the efforts which have thus far been made in Ihis direction?will?have an adverse effect upon morale at the very time when we should be redoubling our efforts to build it up . . . The entire civil arm of the gov ernment will spend in this fiscal year $6,600,000,000. Defense and war will cost at least $21,000,000,000. It j is my contention that the majority I report attempts to save at the spi | got by drastic curtailments of essen tial aid to the underprivileged while j the waste occurs at the bung-hole of war and defense. (.aunty Youth Reported Safe In The Pacific Area Robert H. Biggs, young county man, was reported safe in the Pa cific area a few days ago, his par ents, Mr. and Mrs. B. B. Biggs, of Everetts, have been advised. Other than telling he was safe, the message offered no details. Local Young Man Chosen For Active Sea Duty Norfolk, Dec. 28?(Special)-John H. Bland, of Williamston, who re cently completed his recruit train ing at the Norfolk Naval Training Station, has been chosen for active sea duty, the public relations office announced here today. Bland, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W Bland, of Williamston, enlisted TiTHie Navy at the ruruiling station in Raleigh. And to know that I knew this man during the days of which I write, is indeed a satisfaction to me. young clerk, and I jointly subscrib ed to a boy's weekly magazine, en titled "The Golden Days," and which was filled from cover to cover with boys' stories, and other matter in teresting and beneficial for boys to read. Will was already a subscriber when I joined him, so it continued to arrive through the mails to his ad dress. He would read and hand it ov er to me, I returning it when there were other things he wished to pur sue further. In it were a series of continued stories by able' authors, following the exploits of a crowd of chummy fellows, which made pro found and lasting impressions upon me. One of the tales was that of "The House-Boat Boys," which took us through the experiences of a sum mer's trip down the Mississippi river on a houseboat. Another was "Un der the Tamaracks," which took us to a stay in South America. And so they continued by names more numerous than I can now re call; always interesting and bene ficially instructive reading. It appears to be as quite likely that some day the picture people will dig up some of those "Golden Days" storias, and put them on the screen. They would be much more elevating than some of the present-day Satur day Blood and Thunder themes. After the burning of Sam New bery's livery stables, all was quiet along the fire-line at Williamston? and then again, the night was red, the fire-field spread its trail again. The fiery showers had not ceased. (To be continued) Wants HARD WOOD FOR SALE?HEAT er length. J. F. Thigpen. Phone *HW. BAGS WANTED ? ONLY GOOD clean bags desired.
