SAYS
"Reciprocity" is one of the great
est virtues of life. O. P. Johnson
heard a classmate ask his profess
or what was the meaning of the
word "Reciprocity". The professor
answered: "You scratch my back
and I'll scratch yours."
I don't know anything about law.
It appears more clearly every day
that the people of Louisiana do not
either.
. When the President of the United
States, representing the dominant
Political Party of the country, is
railed off the ballot, leaders of that
State mast have lost their minds,
lust what are some of our present
day leaders trying to arrive at?
"Thank God for South Carolina".
It is not North Carolina who is
leading this Dixtecrat movement.
Are they trying to recreate the
Confederacy? If so won't their
minds tell them it cannot be done
Wasn't the Civil War a sufficient
example?
For the past two weeks we have
been talking about Rivers Johnson.
Now we are going to talk about
Judge Henry L. Stevens, Jr. of
Warsaw. Here is what I think:
"There is a divinity that shapes
our Ends". This applies to every
, one alike.
Duplin County has produced one
of the most Human Judges North
Carolina has ever produced. He is
not only timber for the North
Carolina Supreme Court Bench, but
for the United States Supreme
Court Bench. His name a Henry L.
Stevens, Jr. of Warsaw. Period.
What more do we want?
As I sit by my window and ob

spreading Mimosa tree and the
"talledly" hedging shrubbery it
gives me a peep into the future
and how Nature operates. Surely
God is in on this and the construct
ion and growth of man is of a sim
ilar pattern. The point is: nature
tells us of the highth, breadth and
depth of man." Jesus increased in
Wisdom and Stature and in favor
With God and Man" by his study
of human nature, and his Com
munion with God.
. Do the ends justify the means or
do the means justify the end?
Which is most important, your ap
proach to the end: or the end, re
gardless of the approach? After all
we are dealing with human beings
and life in the raw.
J If man Is descended from a mon
key, then, for the .Lord's Sake,
what is a monkey descended from?
Think it out if you can.

a component of the atom? Sol What

it or leave It.

Pillar and groin and arches

And the men said who saw grace

It shall never know decay.
' Great Is thy skill O'Builder
Thy tame shall live for aye
A teacher builded a temple
mm infinite and loving care
Planning each pillar with patience
Laying each stone with prayer.
Nont praised the unceasing efforts
Mom knew of the wondrous plan
skit the temple the teacher builded
was unseen by the eye of man.
Gone is the builder's temple
Crumbled into the dust
Low lies each stately oUlar

MOVIE ACTRESS Anne Jeffreys j
of Goldsboro says her marriage in 1
1945 to Air Force Caot. Joseph R.
Serena, 34, of Washington, D. C,
was never consumated, and she
wants an annulment. In a suit filed
in superior court Tuesday, the 25-year-old
actress charged Serena
with fraud by refusal to perform
his marital obligations. The suit
said they were separated May 10,
1945, two months after the mar

What Others Say-
Making A Martyr
Of Henry Wallace
We are ashamed at the rowdy
ism that has marked the appearance
of Henry Wallace in North Caro
lina. There were fist fights and other
disturbances at Durham. Wallace
was showered with rotten eggs and
overripe tomatoes at Burlington. It
happened again at Greensboro,
Hickory, High Point and Charlotte.
Under the democratic way of
America Wallace has a perfect
right to campaign in North Caro
lina. Any person who believes in
him has a right to vote for him.
Folks who do not agree (and we
do not) were under no compulsion
to attend his rallies. They are un
der compulsion, however, to give
hime decent treatment.
The 'regrettable incidents that
occurred have a tendency to make
a martvr of him and to gain for
him a sympathy in the minds of the
fair minded. The egg throwing ana
the tomato throwing got him mucn
more attention in the press and on
the radio than he could have re
ceived on his campaigning alone.
People who took part in the In
cidents hurt themselves. They help
ed Wallace. We are ashamed that
it could happen in North Carolina.
The above was written by Henry
Belk in the Goldsboro News-Argus.
We like it. J.R.G.
Shall live while the ages roll
For the beautiful unseen temple
Was a child's immortal soul.
Gossiners keep your minds up.
Look for the good things in life
and you'll see the good things ana
sleep better.
Let the bad' take caro of itself.
Life is not worth'thinking on the
wrong side. History is history and
we can't change it.
Creation of a Kiss
Why is a kiss like creation? Be
cause it made of nothing but gosh,
how good! By: Rev. John Barclay.
It's wine, women and song.
Hold me Gypsie
Before I become tipsie.
Period.
If we can create in the common
human mind the idea that "Ye are
the light of the World" civilization
will live, otherwise we are going
to .repeat "The Fall of Rome".

usual optimism in this growing
business and industrial center of
Eastern North Carolina.
Although cotton and tobacco
constitute the major fall crops,
Goldsboro is a leader in the mark

in the late Spring, is in first posi

in th Fall, and for the past ear
has fully developed a year-around

saw, bankers, newspapermen, farm
leaders and others for a 1948 Fall
Farm Campaign to promote invest

among farmers, business and pro

This Fall Campaign is particul
arly aimed to reach our farm folks
who are in the process of market
ing their tobacco and other crops
and who will want to save a portion
of their crop dollars for their fu
ture security, Murrill said.
"A financial reserve is a very
important part of the business of
farming," he continued, "and ihe
safest place for this reserve is In
U. S. Savings Bonds. They draw
almost 3 interest when held to

Goldsboro has complete banking

These are Golden Leaf Festival

"During the three-months per

which closed July 15, more than
$28,000,000 in U. S. Savings Bonds
were purchased by North Carolina
citizens," Merrill, said. "We consi
der this an excellent accomplish

that our large farm income had not
yet begun to roll in.
"But from now on though the
Fall when farm income is up - is
the time for farm people to add
to their financial reserves and in
sure their future security. Increas
ing financial reserves now will
help them to be ready for the day,
when income may not be so good.
It will also insure their ability to
do the things they want to do in the
future and make for a more satis

Henry Belk Editor Of The Goldsboro

Special To The Times From Goldsboro
Goldsboro. Augir.t 25 Continu
ous growth of the Goldsboro tobac
co market, with each succeeding
season of the past few years show
ing more poundage and pay for the
"olden leaf, justifies confidence of
the Goldsboro warehousemen and
farmers of this area in the belief
that the Goldsboro market is going
to continue to be "tops" this year.
Warehousemen in Goldsboro pre
dict that the 1948 sales season will
be one of the city's best, and cites
as further proof the added facilities
for handling tobacco bought on this
market by all the leading compa
nies. The same optimism prevails
among Goldsboro bankers and mer
chants, and for weeks they have
been working to fulfill this hope.
With more than 300,000 square
feet of floor space in the five ware
houses being operated in Golds
boro this year, the improvement
and enlargement of the three re
drying plants and the adding sA
three new prize houses, the Golds
boro market is in position to ac
commodate several hundred thous
and additional pounds of tobacco
daily.
Operators of the Carolina Va re

house, this season will be J. J.

third year as a Goldsboro ware

has bought on this market.

Simon B. Hill, operator of ihe

more than half a century in deal

The celebration is palnned with

It will be timely I think, for Du

years of her history. Such a look

upon which Duplin, its people and
its towns are entering. jj
You have in Duplin the begin

combination of agriculture and in
dustry that will inspire all of East

of your growing pickle manufac
turing industry, of the new study
which is being given to manufac
turing from your own agricultural
materials finished products. Why

then send it away to let somebody
