While it is generally admitted that North
Carolina has an able man in Jeff Johnson for
the State Supreme Court, there is little
agreement on the political implications back
of the recent developments on the court
front.
Kerr Scott’s old enemies have exploited
every angle in an effort to picture him as
suffering a defeat in the judiciary committee
week before last
Whether Scott won or lost, frankly we do
not know. But if the anti-Scott forces have
anything to crow about, one would have to
use a microscope to find it. The fact that the
old anti-gang sat up most of Friday night be
fore thi' committee meeting on Saturday and
could only garner about (ill votes for their
man went by unnoticed.
Whether it was a victory or defeat for
Scott possibly will not be known, but Jeff
Johnson’s selection is a victory for the peo
ple, and when the people score a victory,
Governor Scott is generally satisfied.

Those who foil for the old line of the po
litical candidate with the calm assurance
that with the election of so and so there eve
rything is going to be all right, are, we are
afraid, going to encounter some disappoint
ment.
With the Republicans almost firmly in the
saddle, they will have to work hard to ex
plain awa\ their shortcomings m the face of
the glorious promises made during the cam
paigns.
There were those candidates who talked
about balancing the budget There are those
who talked about foreign policy, about do
mestic issues.
They told the voters that with tin tr elec
tion everything would be all right. The
question is: Will everything be all right?

(.4tusc For l iirest
While il is impossible that human life is
held cheap in many lands, fighting and kill
ing and general unrest are not to be traced
to temperament alone.
The United Nations Educational, Scientif
ic and Cultural Organization reports that
half the world’s population is hanging on
with an average annual income of less than
$100 a year. Where the average life expec
tancy in advanced countries is 70 years, it
is only 33 years in many lands. Illiteracy
comes to climax a pitiful condition in which
the unfortunate are unable to distinguish
between their enemies and their friends.
Our politicians deplore such conditions,
but they appropriate about twenty millions
of dollars to improve conditions and save life
and at the same time support a thirtv-bil
1 ion-do]lar budget for death-dealing ma
chines and gadgets.

Surely, the drop in peanut prices a few
days ago was just a coincident with the Re
publican gains having nothing to do with it.
However, it is indeed singular that stock
market prices should advance, allegedly as
a result of the Republican gains in the elec
tion, and that peanut pi ices should weaken
at the same time.
It is fairly certain that an advantageous
farm program is doubtful with the new line
up in Congress, but one would not have ex
pected the skids to lie placed under the'far- ■
mer so soon after the election,
ifc-r;.;': ■
Drni ami
Peanut growers, meeting in Scotland Neck
a few days ago, agreed to demand congres
sional legislation favorable to the Virginia
type peanut.
Possibly the group had not beard 11 le re
sults of the election the day before.
The present farm program was made pos
sible when Vice President Barkley broke a
tie vote. Given five more seats in the U. S
Senate, the Republicans can be expected to
question the farm program from one end to
the other with the possibility that peanuts
will have a struggle all the wav and that
there’ll have to be more pleading than de
manding. The day for the farmer and little
man, we are afraid, is fast spending itself.
Over Estimated
Cry after cry has been heard, warning the
unsuspecting that labor is about to wreck
the country. It would appear that someone
is yelling about something to divert atten
tion from the real danger.
If labor, organized or unorganized, is so
powerful as the Nation Association of Manu
factures would have us believe, then why
did it take such a walloping at the polls on
November 7?
Labor's power has been over estimated
when it comes to running the country, but
the exploiters have done a miraculous job
in setting the working man up as a class
and bringing others into the picture to create
class antagonism.
( l.iult- ('.(Hirh‘sy U ill llrlp
There were a dozen or more motor vehicle
accidents on the highways and streets in this
county in a recent week. A hurried study of
the causes underlying the accidents shows
that just a little courtesy shown on the party
of the operators would have posiblv elimi
nated several of the crashes.
Too often, drivers do not dim their lights
because they overlook a simple courtesy. In
just, about every respect most of them are
good folks, but, unfortunately, they are po
tential killers. Possibly a bright light, held
in the eyes of the approaching motorist is
not as insulting as the act of spitting in one’s
eve would be, but a bright light confronting
a motorist is far more dangerous.
In towns, dim lights are in order at all
t imes.

While stark rea, as may be all about us,
so many well-meaning souls can’t see or rec
ognize them because they choose to live in a
land of make-believe.
A missionary recently back from Alaska
said lie heard about a report, telling how
Russia was fortifying big Diomed Island,
two miles from American territory in the
Bering Straights. The report declared that a
$5,000 foot runway was being constructed.
The missionary went in person to check up
on the report. Returning he said:
"All the Russians had were two dozen ob
servers at a weather station and found out
what was identified as an airfield was a
light streak across the piece of film.”

Much is being said about the costly toll
accidents are taking in human life, limb and
property on the highways and streets in our
State. During a recent three-day period, 21
lives were lost and 195 persons were injured.
Through the sixth of this month, 805 persons
had been killed and 10,200 others injured.
It would seem too much is being said and
not enough being done to check the killing
and maiming. In other words, safety promo
ters and too many motorists have not yet
hit the safety spot.

Canadian Foreign Minister Lester B. Pear
son eamc forward with something in an ad
dress to tlu' United Nations General Assem
bly’s Political Committee at Lake Success
a few days ago. He said:
"A two-year moratorium on bellicose and
violent speeches about peace at the United
Nations, and a two-year attempt to do some
thing effective about peace ”
II hol s Tin‘ Molin'?
Tlio French are retreating in Indo-China,
but it is not yet dear whether they are re
treating for their own safety or to pave the
way for American aid.
It seems that the isms have been worked
as a means of getting one’s hands into Unde
Sam’s pocket.
Therefore, come what may, hold fast to
low. Though"men should rend yam -heart,
let them not embitter or harden it. We win
by tenderness; we conquer by forgiveness.

Exciting Siory 01 j
A Marine Hero
Hipped from the paces of one of
I the most exciting chapters in Ma
rine Corps history. Paramount’s
explosive action drama “Tripoli”
arrives Sunday at the Watts Thea
tre. In color by Technicolor and
starring Maureen O'Hara, John
Payne and Howard da Silva, this j
lusty tale of fighting leathernecks
is the most elaborate production
yet filmed by producers William
Pine and William Thomas.
“Tripoli” is based on the amaz
ing true story of Marine Lieu
tenant Preslv O'Bannon, played
by Payne, who organized and led
an army across the Libyan Desert
to storm the fortress city of the
Barbary pirates with whom the
United States was at war. This
daring exploit marked the first
time that the American flag was
raised on foreign soil.
Filmed on location in the de
sert sections around Palm Springs,
California, "Tripoli” is said to
capture all the color and flavor
of the swashbuckling era in which j
the story is set.

"Don’t stall- let’s graze!" is the
slogan being used by farmers of
Lee County in their Green Pas
tures campaign this fall. An effort
is beiryt made to seed 1,000 acres
of pasture in the county this year,
according to Farm Agent K. S.
Harmon. Goals for the next two
years are even larger -1,200 acres
in 1951 and 1,500 acres in 1952.
Collect for Sunday: f“0 Lord,
we beseech thee, absolve thv peo
ple from their offenses; that
through thy bountiful goodness
wo may all he delivered from the]
bands of those sins, which by our,
frailty we have committed. Grant i

Vestry Heeling;
Motorists on highways and
streets in tliis county last
week piled up the ugliest ac
cident record in the history of
motor vehicle travel. The only
redeeming feature about the
whole nefarious business was
the intentional or unintention
al consideration shown for hu
man life.
The following tabulations
offer a comparison of the ac

and last and for each year to
the present time.
