THE Roanoke Beacon and Washington County News PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY In Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina The Roanoke Beacon is Wash ington County's only newspaper. It was established in 1889, consoli dated with the Washington County News in 1929 and with The Sun in 1937. Subscription Rates (Payable in Advance) One year_$1,50 Six months_ .75 Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N. C„ under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday. June 10. 1938 1 Healthy Sign on The Political Horizon Whatever else was settled in the Democratic primary last Saturday, it was fairly conclusively demonstrated in this county that a campaign can be conducted without resort to the bitter mud-slinging, villifying tac tice sometimes used in the past. As a result, those who won the nominations, when elected, will go in to office with no bitterness or ill-feel ing toward any group of people they are supposed to serve, and therefore can be expected to give better service than would otherwise have been pos sible. And those who lost out Satur day have the satisfaction of know ing that they went down in defeat in an honorable manner, and should they choose to aspire to public of fice at some future period the meth ods and tactics used in the past campaign cannot be used against tnem. The county stands to gain- most, however, when political differences can be settled without resort to per sonalities, because the highest type of citizenship will not object to serv ing in public capacities when they are assured that political campaigns can be conducted in a decent man ner. Another group to whom praise is due is the county board of elections and precinct officials who handled the details of the voting last Satur day. Under the direction of P. M. Arps, the new chairman of the board, everything connected with the pri mary was handled very smoothly, and not a word of criticism has been offered against the manner in which it was conducted. The Beacon congratulates all the candidates, winners and losers, upon the type of good citizenship display ed, and the board of elections and precinct officials upon their efficiency and fairness. They have rendered a real service to Washington County. -® Give Local Baseball The Support It Deserves It is somewhat surprising to learn that attendance upon the games played so far this season by the Ply mouth Rocks has been disappointing, according to club officials, especial ly in view of the fact that the team is playing a winning brand of base ball against some very good opposi tion. , This is very discouraging to those who are sponsoring the sport here this summer. Every comfort and con venience hase been provided for fol lowers of the game here, an excellent team has ben secured, and they are unable to understand the indifference exhibited in view of the fact that this town in the past has had a re putation for being a "good baseball town.” I he new park represents a con siderable investment. It is as good LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE North Carolina. Washington Coun ty. Superior Court. Washington County vs. Mrs. C. J. Everett, William Everett and Jo seph Everett.. The defendants, Mrs. C. J. Everett, William Everett and Joseph Everett, will take notice that an action en titled as above has been commenced in the Superior Court of Washington County, North Carolina, as follows: To foreclose the lien of the tax cer tificates held by the plaintiff for the years 1932 and 1933 against the land of the defendant, the said land being described as follows, the first tract, adjoins the lands of James Phelps, James Bateman, J. L. Phelps, J. W. Spruill, and being known as Bouge or Bogue Sound, containing 110 acres more or less and being more particularly described in Book 61, page 186. Washington County, to which reference is hereby made; the second tract adjoins the State Highway, Mrs. C. J. Everett or Bogue Sound, Ed. Spencer, J. I Bateman, containing 3 acres, more or less, and being more par ticularly described in Book 82, page 203, Washington County, to which reference is hereby made; there is due on said certificates the sum of $76.42 with interest as alleged in the complaint. The said defendants, Mrs. C. J.t “If you could spend an hour with me in the accident ward of the large hospital where I am stationed, you would understand why I don’t see anything smart about speeding. ‘Figures released by The Travelers Insurance Com panv^indicate that nearly 37 per cent of all fatal acci dents are caused by exceeding the speed limit. My ex perience has taught me something that these figures do not indicate—that the worst accidents, those involving almost hopeless injuries, nearly always result from accidents where high speed was a factor.” as any in this section; better, in fact, than many of the parks now being used in the Coastal Plain League. Not only will it serve the semi-professional team now playing there, but it will also be used for other community undertakings. The county fair will be held in it this fall, and it will also be available for the high school football and base ball games, as well as any other ath letic events to be scheduled here. The baseball team will give the town some measure of valuable ad vertising, besides providing entertain ment in its own right that should be well worth the cost of admission. No one is expected to neglect his other affairs to give baseball first considera tion, but it strikes us that the team needs our support and attendance and we owe it at least that much. Wage-and-Hour Breast-Beating Roy Parker, former editor of the Hertford County Herald, and just now conducting a column of personal comment in that p a p e r, has taken the best attitude of all we have seen and heard expressed—and that’s plenty, too—toward the controversial wage and hours bill before Congress. After admonishing his folks not to become so hot and bothered over the things they hear and read about this wages and hours law, he goes on to say: Why can’t we be calm, cool and collected about this thing of wages in the South? How in the name of common sense can we invite, urge and sometimes sub sidize industry to move amongst us and expect to escape the labor problems industrialization brings? ... Or why should we blind ourselves to the fact that LEGAL NOTICES Everett, William Everett, and Joseph Everett, will further take notice that they are required to appear in the office of the Clerk Superior Court at the Court House in Washington County, Plymouth, N.

AUSBON m2 7 it Clerk Superior Court NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of a judgment made and entered in the cause en ttled Town of Plymouth vs. J, J, we already have a major labor problem—one that was neglect ed too long and even now gets scant attention by certain classes of employers? The Negro population has been, and is, a major factor in a long standing Southern labor prob lem. We permitted "nature to take its course" for too long a time before attacking the prob lem. We have gone a long way since slavery days but we could have gone further. The political breast-beaters have too long controlled public thought and action in the adjusment of our long-standing labor problem. . . Now that new problems are laid at our feet by the coming of mass industry, it is not out of place that we be reminded of our duty to give sober and sane thought to treating them as such . . . au oi wmcn reacts up to the undeniable truth: Only by regu lation by law will some employ ers cease to exploit labor and, as much as we may dislike the idea, laws must be passed and enforc ed to put the exploiter on the same footing with the larger number of employers who are in no sense of the word exploiters. Time, speech, writing, study, and energy coiyd. I think, be more profitably employed to get the right kind of a law than in berating and bleating against the very idea of wage and hour legislation.

AUSBORN Clerk Superior Court of Washington County, North Carolina. junlO 4t NOTICE OF SALE Under and by virtue of a judgment made and entered in the cause en titled Washington County vs. Mrs. Rambling ...About By THE RAMBLER Correction—anil Hoic— The Beacon Linotyper slipped up again last week in the paragraph in "Sports Corner" about "Pap” Arps improving his golf game to the point where he managed to get around the nine-hole course at the Country Club in 92. It should have read 52, of course. When it came to making the correction Carl Bailey suggested that we simply say we had the names wrong: that it should have been Roy Hampton instead of Pap Arps—and that it should have been 92 “admit ted” strokes. Naturally, we wouldn't print anything like that about any golfer, although Carl says he can swear to the truth of the statement. Anyway we're sorry we messed up Pap's score so scandalously—and next week we ll probably be as sorry about Roy's. Height of Something— “Soda Jerkers" are becoming "Fountaineers" in the drug and soda shops of America, according to re cent reports. Soda fountain opera tion requires both skill and sales abil ity, says backers of the movement to improve the position of the druggist and his employees in public esteem. A Cleveland chain, with 45 foun tains, celebrated the "graduation” of its employees with a Pountaineer Sundae. Made with cocoanut-pine apple ice cream, frozen fudge and whipped cream. 25.000 of these sun daes were sold at 15c each in two weeks. Ugh! Prize Riiip Etiquette— The Louisville Times, it would seem, has something in the following paragraphic: It would be grand if, when a fellow was down and out, his creditors were forced to take neutral corners and wait until he had again gotten on his feet.” Proof of the Pudding— Getting back to golf again, the AP recently carried the following yarn under a Richmond. Va., dateline: A guest at the Country Club of Virginia surveyed the 152-yard par-3 bridge hole, and asked Caddy Rogers advice about the proper club. “A No. 6, sir,” Bobby replied promptly. The guest measured the stiff wind and said he couldn't get home with the No. 6. Bobby insisted. “Well, if you think so. let’s see you hit one to the green.” Bobby scored a neat hole-in-one. Self-Defense— It’s just about reached the point here in Plymouth where a fellow’s gotta take up golf so he can keep up with the conversation. Change Needed— Another few days of weather such as we had last week, and we’re going to be forced to change the name of this here now column from “Ram bling About” to “Wading About.” Or “Swimming.” Or, come to think of it, there probably won’t be no column.

CHESSON, myl3 6t Executor, Roper, North Carolina, RFD, So it may be a blessing in a mighty thin disguise. The Reason for Editorials— We’ve often wondered why editors set so much store by their editorial pages. Along comes '‘Shining Lines.” publication of the Mergenthaler Li notype Company, with a brief para graph that goes a long ways toward clearing up the matter. It says that a contemporary Chinese professor, quoted by Lin Yutang, has made the witticism that in the matter of de sirability, “Wives are always better if they are others, while writing is al ways better if it’s one’s own.” The Farmer Feeds Them All From down tne county, “M. J, F ” comes through with the effusion that follows, giving credit to a class of folk who are not getting much else but credit for their work: The king may rule o’er land and sea, The lord may live right royally: The soldiers ride in pomp and pride, The sailor roams o'er the ocean wide— The farmer, he must feed them all. The writer thinks, the poet sings; The craftsman fashions wondrous things; The doctor heals, the lawyer pleads; The miner follows the precious leads. But this or that, whate’er befall— The farmer feeds them all. The merchant, he must buy and sell; The teacher do his duty well. But men may toil through busy days, Or men may stroll through pleasant ways, From king to beggar, whate'er be fall— The farmer, he must feed them all. The farmers’ trade is one of worth. He's a partner with the sky and earth And no man loses for his gain. And men may rise, or men may fall— But the farmer, he must feed them all. The farmer dares his mind to speak. He has no gift or place to seek; To no man living need he bow. The man that walks behind the plow Is his own master, whate'er befall. And, king or beggar, he must feed all. God bless the man who sows the wheat Who finds us milk and fruit and meat. May his purse be heavy, his heart delight. His cattle and corn and all go right. God bless the seeds his hands let fall, For the farmer, he must feed them all.
