C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879._____ Friday, April 28, 1933 Two Negative Forces Our State Legislature seems to be made up of two negatives. Of course, if we had a negative and a positive force, we might create a spark; but in this case, it seems to be that it is all negative. If one end of the legislature at the capitol wants to do something, the other end swears it is wrong and at once tries to upset it. I his kind of hair-pulling has gone on until folks have at least lost interest, and perhaps some few have lost respect. It seems to the outside observer that they have taken up as much time undoing as they have in do ing things. They fix a law. Then somebody looks at it, and it doesn’t look so good, so all hands pile in and tear it down again. After all, the whole pro ceeding is beginning to take on the appearance of a joke. A few fellows represent one kind of interest; another group represents some other line of thought, and the whole thing winds itself up in a circle and nothing is done except when they get off the track oc casionally. Like all other groups of men. there are some very good individuals composing it; yet it seems to us that this legislature is more at sea than any one we have had during the past 25 years, and only a few of them seem to know where the man stands who pushes the button, and they don t know how to step until after the music begins. Take Care of Yourself First A goou farmer recently told us that his fertilizer bill and his taxes take what money he makes on his iarm and he has to live on eggs. There is no doubt about the truth of his statement. And it applies pret ty well to most farmers. Then v. hat happens to the fellow who raises no chickens? He evidently gets a very poor living. This is the important year for every man who can to grow those things he actually needs and not depend on raising 1-cent peanuts, 6-cent cotton, and 7-cent tobacco with which to buy the necessities for himself, his family, and his stock. Look after the pigs, the chickens, and garden. Al ways think of potatoes for year-round use. There is more profit in one good laying hen than there is a field full of tobacco that you lose money on. Under the Beacon Light _By WALTER H. PARAMORE This issue of the Roanoke Beacon is dedicated to J. Corbett Swain, who knows how to be loyal to a party that has defeated him time and again at the polls for some office, but who stayed by the party in thick and thin, and the reward for his loyalty was his appointment as auditor of W ashington County. Critics need not wag their heads and predict that he is not sufficiently experienced in governmental bookkeeping to accurately maintain the accoutns of this county, as anything he lacks in experience will be made up in willingness to learn and with Bill Wa ters and George W. Hardison to aid him over the difficult spots he will make the grade. Not only because Mr. Swain is a Democrat is this issue dedicated to him, but it is dedicated to him because of his party loyalty. Whatever his politics he did not huff up at the repeated primary defeats, but in the general elections he went to the bat for his party and always worked hard and piled up a good ly number of votes in his section for his party. Many the time when a politician feels that he is not eating at the pie counter of his associates then he wavers and drops over to the other side, and some do this to get on the winning side. But not so with Mr. Swain. He is a partisan and sticks by his party. And his appointment to office elevates not another public official but brings a man up from the masses. So the Beacon toasts Mr. Swain—“Long may the county have the advantage of your loyalty and willingness to work as an example for other young men and women who are seeking aid from their party, and who are standing true to their traditions and not trading their theories of politi cal science away for a mere pittance of a job.’’ --o Several have sent in their solutions for the alge braic problem in the Beacon some time ago that was offered by A. F. Arnold, but it remained for L. A. (Pete) Baggett, of Windsor, a constant reader of ‘'these yer colyums” to give one of the most plausible illustrations. (9x—lOx) plus (lx—9x) plus (6x—9x). Plus changes to minus sign when in parentheses. 9x plus 10.x —lx plus 9x —6x plus 9x, or 19x—lOx— 15x is —6x. I'his is what Mr. Baggett calls a “whack” at the example. “Maybe this rule is wrong, it has been 16 years since I studied Algebra. Not claiming, how ever. the rules have changed. My memory seems to be sliding.” -o A reporter asked Gilbert Davis to let him know officially whether or not he was going to run for mayor of Plymouth, so that he could publish a story about the announcement some issues back. “So far as I know 1 am a candidate,” replied Mr. Davis, who afterward did announce his candidacy. “Some mayor you will make," remarked his son, Gibbie, who was toddling along at his father’s side. -o Picked up here and there: Mrs. Clarence Bowen, of Long Acre, has a crocheted match holder for her husband’s convenience.—David Brown works in a dime store in Norfolk—Regular attendants at the Long Acre Christian church invariably sit on the right, while visitors take the left section of seat—Mrs. Marion Owens Whisonant read an interesting Palm Sunday story to the Methodist Sunday school—L. W. Gurkin has a convenient and beautiful interior to his Washington Street residence—Now it is Auditor Corbett Swain. PLEASANT GROVE -® Mrs. T. E. Ainsley is in Norfolk to be with her daughter, Mrs. W. L. Daniels, who is in a hospital there for treatment. Mrs. H. C. Davenport and son, of Columbia, spent Monday with Mrs. Ida Hodges. Mrs. J. C. Tarkenton and Mr. Sid ney Herrington accompanied Clinton Tarkenton to Greensboro Sunday on his way to Oak Ridge Institute.
