THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina WALTER H. PARAMORE Managing Editor The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 ! and consolidated with the Washington County | News in 1929 Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties On* year .— S1.5U six months - .— Outside of Above Counties One year $2.00 Six months . l-00 (Strictly Cash in Advance) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth. N. C., under the act oi Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday. November 29, 1935 Needs Some Explaining We are beginning to see that many of those who claimed that legalized liquor would be a cure for the liquor evil were indeed false prophets. The four star wet counties—Lenoir, Martin, Nash and Pitt—which entered the honor roll of morality under authority granted by the last session of the Gen eral Assembly, furnished 25 drunken drivers who lost their licenses in October, against 18 for the other 96 counties of the state. and wealth roughly estimated to be about the same as the four counties of Lenoir, Martin, Nash and Pitt put together, had only 1 citizen who lost his license for driving while drunk. In Mecklenburg County, only one license was revoked. The other wet coun ties of the state furnished several of the other 16 drivers. We would like to hear the “wets” justify this rec ord. And, of course, this is not the end—it will keep on and on. Don’t Flod the Peanut Market -s Don't flood the peanut market. Mills are finding it very hard to meet oil prices with peanut oil, and unless the peanuts come to the market in an orderly manner, it is generally thought that the prices will be driven much lower than the present level. With an unusually large crop this year, it will take j the best of care in both properly housing and sys tematically selling, to prevent a bad collapse in the market. It is said that quite a quantity of peanuts have been picked too wet. which is another factor that will depress prices, and especially of the best peanuts. The peanut crop is too important to be neglected | in this -ection of the country, and it should have the best of care and attention. Although the government requires the mills to pay 1c per pound in addition to the market price to thr farmer to give him a fair price tor his crop, with the strong competition offered by foreign and other do mestic oils, the peanut cannot compete with these oth er oils without a loss to the mills. The best thing for the farmer to do is to take the best of care with the crop and not rush it on the market. Expressing Thanks Sampson Independent While every day should be one of thanksgivin, as the season that is annually proclaimed as such draws near, we should pause and undertake to enumerate the many, many things for which thanks are due the greatets of all Givers. And. while conditions may not be just what we would have them to be, each and every one of us is the recipient of untold blessings day by day. Again, the people of this immediate section, gen enerally, have been blessed with an abundant harvest, not only of the so-called money crops, but of the crops which provide food and teed for man and beast, as well. And, too, prices for farm produce are much high er than they were a few years back. By and large, conditions with the people throughout this section are better than in many sections of the country. For that we should feel doubly thankful, for it can hardly be said that we are more worthy than those who live elsewhere. While to breathe words ot thanksgiving may be well and proper, we, somehow believe there is a more acceptable manner of showing one's thanks at this par ticular season. And our opinion of the very best way to show a spirit of due appreciation to the Great Giver is to make a contribution, be it large or small, to some orphanage—the orphanage of your choice. The Thanksgiving season has been set aside, and properly so, as a time when the citizens of North Carolina are asked and expected to contribute more liberally to ward the support of the various orphanages in the state. The thousands of children, deprived of the love and care of father and mother, and who are being taken care of in the several orphanages, have come to look upon the Thanksgiving season as the one time in the >ear when they are to be remembered more freely. Surly each of us, who possibly can do so, should have a part in meeting the expectation of the orphans—the expectation of donations which will make it possible for them to enjoy shelter, raiment and food, together with educational and religious advantages. Calls for admittance from worthy children to all the orphanages continue to grow in number. Only as the people respond to the appeals for aid can these calls be met. Make this a real Thanksgiving by con tributing liberally to the care and keeping of the or phans. “For inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these . . . __ NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of the power contained in that certain deed of Uust executed by Sadie F.
