Holleman became grand parents. and so excited and happy were they that they closed up the Riverview Hotel Annex and >vent out to McCook. Neb., o "urther enjoy the happy occasion. To get awav the Hol!enians chased out all the guests. This week they reopened the hotel, and are open for business again. "But we ain't got no roomers." Holleman admitted the other day. "A fellow came in Monday and looked like he wanted to rent a room, and all of us tried to sell him on taking it. but he got away from us. Looks as if I'm going to have tn go away and tako a course in first class salesmanship. It ain't like it used to be around here." ^Jack Perk said be telephoned Sam Eubanks the other day for a ton of coal, and asked when he could get it. "Send it right up." Jack quot ed Sam as saying. "What's the matter?" "Just Irving to keep >bear' of Coleman Hvnum." he said. "Un derstand he's thinking of going in the coal business, too." 4% Wesley Conkling hushed me up the other day for fair. When I walked into the Pine Lodge for the Kiwanis meeting. Wes demanded. "How do you feel?" "What's it to you?" I snapped. "You're no doctor." "I know it." he replied. "I'm on Iv a veterinarian inquiring about the health of .jackasses." £ When Harvey Bonev fini^he^ a meal at Coleman's, he ells for another hot biscuit, then he asks for "inst a little bit of honey to go with the biscuit." "Takes the place of pie." Har vey explains, "and I save 15 cents." AGautier Jackson drove down street just for a few minutes late Tuesday evening and about the time he got to the heart of the city, the fire siren sounded and the truck started out of the station heaed toward Tent Camo. Jackson, who is a member of the fire dooartment. thought the alarm something minor, probablv just across the river, and fell in with his automobile just behind the truck. Across the river they went, and up towards Richlnad*. Before they «ot to Richlands. he could see the illuminated sky. Rut the blaze wasn't at Richlands. Just a little farther uo the road, he thought. He finally ended up in 'aville. ink Jones is a Charlot'c real c» man. and every Sunday he u.-fs about three columns of the Charlotte Observer's classified ad section to talk to the readers— and that costs a lot of monev in the Observer. He rambles about this and that and then lists a piece of property. Each column of his Sunday ad vertising starts ofT like this one of last Sunday: Now this is just one man's opin ion: (And he is often more wrong than right according to his family. BUT?—How many of your friends really have much "SENSE"? I don't mean "BRAINS"—Now all of us have "BRAINS" or think we have anyway) Even an idiot, and a fool, and a jackass—and a guinea pig—and even a fish—but the fish hasn't "sense" enough to not bite a hook I find there is a big differ ence between "BRAINS" and "SENSE". Now take two men starting out in life with exactly the same environments: Note how one "goes places" in the world and winds up working for himself: note how the other works all his life for some other man. The difference is —one has "BRAINS" and one has "SENSE". A guy might have a "BRAIN" as large as an Elephant's —but if he hasn't got "SENSE" he will always be an "elephant" under the control of some guv with "SENSE." Having "BRAINS" in stead of having 'SENSE" is the difference between having noth ing, and having something. Did ovu ever think which vou have "BRAINS" or "SENSE " Now lots of us have "BRAINS"—but it's a "darn" smart man who has any "SENSE." We people who have nothing but "BRAINS" can po crazy any day: but a man with "SENSE" never goes crazy—Judg ing from what my own family often says to me—I must have "BRAINS'—and no "SENSE". But if so. I have lots of company in Charlotte, as well as in my own family. My one personal opinion ,-s— There are not many people in the world who have much—"SENSE". I certainly don't want the job to find what I believe to be A Dozen real "SMART" Deople in Charlotte (I mean "SMART"—not "smart alexs like mvself* "HELL"—When I say "SMART"—I mean "SMART" —are you "SMART" in the eves of your enemies?—Can you make more money than your wife can spend—if so—You have both brains & sense.

Bond Referendum Action Deferred By City Board 0 Again deferring action that would launch a referendum for a bond issue in Jacksonville, the Board of Commissioners Tuesday night still were optimistic .hat the referendum could be called and voted on before Federal Housing Agency commitments expire on ap proximately local 150 dwelling, units on January 6. Other business of the board in cluded: 1. A statement that it would continue with "additional condem nation proceedings when and as recommended by the building in spector" and that there would be no buck-passing of responsibil tv. 2. Heard 1'. V. Capps. leader of the channel deepening project, say that a public dock would be necessary for the U. S. Army Engi neers to nnprove a 12-foot channel for New River. Mayor Ramon Askew advised the board that City Engineer Her bert Eastwood had not had time to complete an authorized survey and estimate its costs, and. in view of that, City Attorney John 1"). Warlick had said the board could not call for a referendum without the cost estimates. Eastwood is making a survey for city-wide water and sewer line extensions, drainage via sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and street sur facing, costs of which he has not been able to estimate because the survey has not yet been com pleted. However, he was request ed to complete it as soon as pos sible. Referendum Necessary A referendum is necessary to vote a bond issue to raise funds to extend water and sewer lines to the housing project of the Graham Building corporation and to the Clyde Building corporation. The former firm already has its houses under construction, while the latter has not passed the clearing and laying-out stage. Fed eral Housing commitments expire on the Clyde Building 'corpora tion project January fi. and by that time the city must give as surance that water and sewer facilities will be furnished. It can not unless funds are available, and the.\v can only bo made available w'th a bond issue. Having in mind a one-time re ferendum for a one-time issue to finance general improvements throughout the town, including the water and sewer extensions to the two housing projects, the board instructed Eastwood to make a survey of the needs of the city. A group of interested citizens named by Mayor Askew to study the needs recently recommended to Eastwood that he limit the sur vey to drainage, surfacing and the water needs. Members of the board were said to feel that they eould meet probably next week and eall the referendum for some time in December. Optimistic that it would pass, they were represented as being confident the bond issue could be ap proved in time to prevent FI1A commitments from ex piring on the Clyde Building corporation houses, which would add considerable more valuation to the tax books. Aman Is Answered Taking cognizance of Fire Chief W. D. A man's statement Tuesday that until every party involved under the building codo assumed the responsibility without passing it off on the fire department lie would sign no more condemnation reports, the board issued the fol lowing statement: "With reference to the condem nation proceedings that have been started in Jacksonville, the mayor and the board of aldermen would like to state that their action was brought about by public sentiment in the necessity for clearing out several old and dilapidated build ings in the downtown section, eli minating fire hazards and other buildings that have been built in direct - violation of the building code, and that in so doing, the present board is only enforcing an ordinance created by the mayor (Continued On Page Six) OHIO STATE STUDENT 0 Among the students at Ohio State University is Miss Agatha Kalanzis of Jacksonville, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Kalanzis.

Onslow County With No Cotton Gin For First Time In Years And Years £ For the first time in years and years—beyond the memory of man, almost—Onslow County does not have a cotton gin in operation this year. The last survivor, the Brock Gin at Kichlands, was sold to the New Bern Cotton Oil Mill at New Bern and moved recently. The absence of a gin is quite in contrast to years back when as many as 22 were in operation in the county at the same time. Then. I. N. Sanders of Bear Creek recalled Saturday, the gins were all over the county, some catering to one particularly area only. One of those was at Pal a Alto which ginned only cotton raised on the land nearby. Sanders . remembers, because it was a Sanders. D. I. Sanders, who had probably the first cotton gin in the county, and that in the Bear Creek section. One of the reasons for the grad ual decline in the number of gins probably is the fact that not as much cotton is being grown in the county now. Production lias de clined hereabouts in recent years until it was hardly profitable for more than one or two gins to op erate. Sanders said he did not know of but one acre of cotton in production in the lower end of the county this year, and it's on the John R. Matthews farm. Sabiston Brothers operated a gin in Jacksonville, the last year it served being in 1940. But the Brock gin continued at Richlands. The late I. M. L,. Brock formerly operated one at his home near Richlands. but later bought the old Rand gin and installed new equip ment in 1940. It was open yearly until this year. .-jcksonville Citizens Again Play Hosis To Hospitalized Vets #Thc - 'ton.-I weeklv par y 1'or hospital nationts ::| Camp L<'ieune was held Monday with •:i i - ens from Jacksonville 'aking the lead in I he •"utoi laini«nI.

War Fund Short Of Quota $3,700; Carolina Trailways Men Give $740 9 Although sump $3700 short of the National War Fund quota, on the basis of incomplete returns. Chairman T. Newton Cook Tues day predicted that Onslow st'll would go over the top in its one time campaign for CSC). 22 other national agencies, and local Boy and Girl Scouts and the Com munity Service Council. Pointing out that a number of business firms and individuals had reduced their 1945 donations by as much as 50 per cent since last year. Cook took heart from the response by service personnel. At Naval Hospital. Camp l.e jeune. a total of $333 was raised without any request, and residents of Pine Grove Trailer Park went over the top by 127 per cent. "Those donations have come from men who have had United War Fund services." Cook pointed out. "who know of their value and are now contributing to its support." When the people realize that they are contributing to a fund to per form a service for themselves, then 1 believe they will make a greater effort. After all. it's the civilians who should be giving to the servicemen, not servicemen to themselves." Largst donation One group, however, that went all-out and followed along the lines of Cook's suggestion was I ho Carolina Coach Com pany employees of this divi sion. E. C. Miller, division su perintendent, reported that l!> of his 50 employees have con tiibuted a total of $740 to the campaign. It was the largest donation by a single group yet turned in.
