Any way, the Town of Jacksonville failed to collect for water connec tions in Bayshore Estates when residences there were first oc cupied. It's about $40 per throw for each residence there, more than 200 of them. #Up in the General Assembly, the laymen—including me—refer to some of the measures as lawyers' bills, and one of the fellows the other day handed me a bit which was attributed to Mark Twain. It was said to be his answer to a letter from a swain who loved a certain Edwitha, who married an other in the absence of the suitor. The suitor wrote Twain, asking if he had any redress under the law. and this was the answer: "Of course you have. All the law, written and unwritten is on your side. The intention and not the act constitutes the crime—in other words, constitutes the deed. If you call your bosom friend a fool, and intend it for an insult, it is an insult; but if you do it play fully and meaning no insult, it is not an insult. If you discharge a pistol accidentally and kill a man. you can go free, for you have done no murder; but if you try to kill a man and manifestly intend to kill him but fail utterly to do it, the law still holds that the intention constituted the crime, and you are guilty of murder. Ergo, if you had married Edwintha accidentally and without really intending to do it. you would not actually be married to her at all. because the act of marriage could not be complete without intention. And ergo, in the strict spirit of the law. since you deliberately intended to marry Ed witha and didn't do it, you are mar ried to her all the same—because, as I said before, the intention con stitutes the crime. It is as clear as day that Edwitha is your wife, and your redress lies in taking a club and mutilating the person she mar ried. Any man has a right to pro tect his wife from the advance of other men. But you have another alternative—you were married to Edwitha first, because of your deli berate intention, and now you can prosecute her for bigamy in subse quently marrying another. But there is another phase to this com plicated case: You intended to marry Edwitha. and consequently acc >rding to law she is your wife . . but she didn't marry you, and she never intended to marry you. you are not her husband. Ergo, in marrying another she was guilty of bigamy, because she was the wife of another at the same time: but then don't you see, she had no other husband when she married another and consequently was not guilty of bigamy. Now. according to this view of the case the hus band married a spinster, who was a widow at the same time and an other man's wife at the same time, and yet who had no husband and never had one and never had any intention of getting married, and therefore, of course never had been married, and by the same reasoning you are a bachelor, bo cause you have never been any one's husband; and a married man, because you have a wife living: and to all intents and purposes a widower, beause you have been de prived of that wife; and a consum mate ass for going off to Benicia in the first place while things were so mixed." 0 Rep. Lew Wallace of Kinston told tlu> House the other day one lumberman had stated "if the folks in Eastern North Carolina don't cease cutting timber indiscrimina tely, in ten years time they won't have a stump to sit on.' #In a debate, when a member of the Assembly asks a question of a speaker, it is usually in an at tempt to trip him or to make him admit some bad feature of a bill. The questioner rises, addresses the chair and then the speaker, asking "will the gentleman yield for a question?" The speaker usually smiles con fidently and says, 'Til be delighted to yield and answer any question the gentleman wishes." However, most assemblymen agree that, while he speaks very politely, what the speaker actually is saying to himself is: "Now, what in is that asking me that for?" 0 Governor Gregg Cherry was a familiar sight around the lobby of the Sir Walter hotel the other evening. During previous sessions of the assembly, the governor has towered high above a lot of the otheV solons while conversing r strolling through the lobby. But since he became governor, he has had little time. However, he broke away the other evening for what he termed an "enjoyable" visit with the boys back in the lobby. % All along the highway between Sinithfield and Kinston. folks are now picking cotton. Cotton pick ing March! Almost tragic, because it wasn't harvested last fall, the sight is not half as attractive as the peach 'rees a-bloom. tECEIVES COMMISSION 0 Albert; J. Ellis, former local at torney, has been commissioned a lieutenant in the judge advocate general branch of the U. S. Army after having completed a course of study at the University of Mich igan, Ann Arbor, Mich. He is ox pecled home on a furlough next week. H.C. Johnson Elected President Of New Lions Organization Here 0 A Lions club, to be affiliated with Lions International—one of the major civic organiatzions of the world, was formed at a meet ing here Thursday night under the sponsorship of the Kinston Lion club. II. C. Johnson, member of the Stale Highway Patrol stationed here, was elected its first president, and other officers named were as follows: .1. Hedrick Aman, Cnarles Duffy Koonce and Clyde SabNt.nn, first, second and third vice-presi dents respectively; Cy IlawK sec re t a r y -1 r e a sure r: G. E. Gardner, tail twister; W. C.

Onslow County Red Cross Kits Reach Boys On Way Overseas 0The Onslow County Chapter of the American Red Cross recently received the following letter of thanks for the Red Cross kits which had been received just prior lo shipping overseas; February . 24. 1945. Dear Ladies: Several weeks ago. before we left for overseas the second time, our crew received three boxes filled with Red Cross kits. Since that time I have heard many comment on how thoughtful people back' home can be and how very useful the packages can be. I can say without reservation that the whole crew has enjoyed every article con tained in the kits. I am writing for all who received kits, from your Chapter particular ly. I have just fourteen men in my division but they represent a good cross-section of the whole crew. My men are assigned the duties of signalmen, radiomen, radarmen, and qua"termasters. Without them, we would not run the ship. Our division is called the Ship's Control Division and means just that. Our thanks go to your Chapter for the kits that you have prepared. My boys have asked me to thank you very much for what you have done. Morale is a great thing on board ship especially when we are out for weeks at a time. I have seen it get very low because mail can't be delivered aboard every day and. the books are read over and over. Most of the time though, everything rolls along smoothly and we have lots of work to do every day. Thank you again for your kind ness and thoushtfulness. All over the world the Red 'Cross fully rep resents those two things. Sincerely, \V. D. Bogardus, Ens. United States Navy. Jesse Jones, Kington attorney and district governor of Lions In ternational. and 14 members of the Kinston club were here for the organizational session. •!.

Near the number is what seems to be the letter W. llowever this i not nearly as clear. Many persons viewing the egg have advanced theories ranging from the fact that "the war will be over in the twelfth month of this year." to stating that "it means that the war will last another twelve years." First Army Attacks Bulge Rhine Bridgehead to Nearly Thirteen Miles £ Paris—(AP)— First Army at tacks bulged the three-mile deep Rhine Bridgehead several hundred yards farther overnight along the river strip which Germans said was 1211-2 miles long. l,t. Gen. Courtney Hodges had thrown so many men. cannons and tanks into the rugged West was* er wald East of Remagen that nothing less than a major German coun terattack could budge his Ameri cans and there was no indication that the Nazis would be aide to or ganize such force from the ashes of their defeat west of Rhine. U. S. Third Army just to the south eliminated all Germans west of the Rhine and Moselle rivers except for two small pockets. Red Army Shifts £ Moscow- - I AP)- The Red Army Supreme Command began to shift large forces to Berlin front today after smashing enemy resistance between the mouths of the Oder and Yistual rivers. Only a small chunk of territory at the northern extremity of Pomerania and Polish Corridor remained to be overrun by Marshall K. K. Rokossovsky's armored vanguards before he would be available for command of vital sector of the front facing the German capital. Regrouping Russian strength was expected to mass the greatest con centration of men and guns for of fensive operations since the lUd Banner was first carried over Ger man soil. Strong Infantry and Artillery formations pressed closer to Dan zig and Gdynia yesterday. HOXORFI* 0 Miss Ruth Many, daughter of F-t. and Mrs. J. B. Macy of Courthouse Bay.
