Eastern Duplin Farmers Showing Interest In Limestone - Muddy Creek Draining Proposal; Petitions Being Circulated Farmers of eastern Duplin Coun ty, about 300 strong, expressed by an overwhelmingly majority, an in terest in forming a Duplin Drainage District in the Beulaville, Potter's Hill section. The exploratory meeting was held in the Beulaville school at which time experts explained to the farmers what a drainage dist rict is and how it can be brought about in this county. The purpose is to provide the organization to carry out a vast land reclamation program along Limestone and Muddy Creek and the tributaries of the two streams. Spokesmen at the meeting esti mated that the project, if under taken, would extend about 22 miles along Limestone Creek and about 18 to 20 miles along Muddy Creek. The extensiveness of the pro posed program is emphasized by the estimated acreage of reclaimed and which would be given, added utility and productivity. Best estimates available say that approximately 36,000 acres of land continguous to Limestone and about 20,000 acres along Muddy Creek would be affected by the drainage project. After the program was discussed and explained ,the farmers at the meeting expressed the desire' to proceed with the organization of the drainage district. The first step was the appoint M. F.

Satan's Throne Lesson for February M, 19M T HOLD NO BRIEF for him" ia - a lawyer's expression ofjen borrowed by other people. A law yer who holds a brief for a man has been employed to represent him. It is his duty to present the man in the best light possible. Now we know about the early church at Corinth from two sources: Luke and Paul. The book of Acts was written, among other rea sons, to show that the Christian church, far from being a subversive movement as its enemies claimed. Dr. Foreman was a benefit to the world. Of course this was true; but since this was Luke's 'purpose, he naturally omitted as much of the church's shortcomings as he could, and played up the good features. Church with the Lid Off Paul, on the other band, writing to the church at Corinth (and to others as well), held no brief tor them. He was not trying to praise them or to tell anybody how good they were. He knew them intimately; he had indeed converted moat of the members. His letters to Corinth, from which our lesson gives a small sample, shows us a church "with the lid off." Where Satan's Throne Is YEARS AFTERWARD, another Christian writer said of another church that they lived "where Satan's throne is." You might al most have said the same thing of Corinth. It was a large commercial city; people from everywhere tun neled into it. Like any city of this sort it had earned a reputation for wickedness of every kind drink, liquor, gambling, women, cut throat business, rotten politics it was all there. Even in the easy going Roman world, Corinth was notorious. Corinth was a sort of man- made jungle, like our n great cities today. It made a sort of test case: If the church could succeed lit Corinth It' could succeed anywhere. If the power of Christ could make new men and women out of the denizens of that great city, there was no jungle, man-made or nature-made where Christ could not go. Can men and women be Christian in the midst of a non Christian, even anti - Christian world? Our Pagan World PAUL'S ANSWER, of course. Is Yes: on one condition. You must take your pattern for living from Jesus, not from the world around you. The big problem at Corinth, which included all other problejns, was the fact that tha Christians there were acting too much like the people outside the church. Christians must be differ ent! insisted Paul. This is not an echo of a bygone time. Our own world Is a new Cor inth. Even Into the remotest village, the most Isolated farm, the world of oar time poshes in, by radio, movies, maga sines and paper, and advertis ing, even by schools and clubs. And It Is a pagan -world. Take the movies alone, that fer tile source of most young people's ideas. Hollywood's idea of mar riagea temporary affair till bore' dom do us part; Hollywood's idea of a good time liquor - flowing free; Hollywood's idea of success an Immense bouse with an even bigger swimming pool. Not that there are no good mov ing pictures; but in general what ia made glamorous on a thousand screens is anything but a Christian world. i . .' And Be Ye Separate . PAUL KNEW it is not practical to have no contact with evfL He would" not approve of Christiana going into monasteries where-they would henceforth see none but top grade saints. Christiana have to live in tha world, even II they live where Satan's throne is. But Chris tians ought to be different The World says: Drink makes no difference; men of distinction all do it The Christian knows better: Christ's man of distinction will keep - himself - clean. . The world says:' Let yourself go, follow your impulses,"? look out for-' yourself.' The. Christian knows better: he is one bought with a price.. We that are Strong ought to help the weak and not to please ourselves. The world says: Do as other people do!

' -y FOlt HOSPITAL OB ACCIDENT INSURANCE IN THE V.t O- kaava.J : I wish to announce that I am a candidate for nomination as Solici tor of tha Sixth Judicial District In the Democratic Primary td be held on May- 27. It It customary for a politician to state the "urging of friends" la his motive for announ cing his candidacy for public office. However, not being a politician I do not maintain this reason as that which prompts me to run (or this office. Though my friends have been encouraging, I am prompted primarily by the urgency that some thing be done to speed up the ma chlnery of our criminal courts. This District has had crowded court calendars, esses continued months longer than necessary, witnesses and Jury members spending time waiting around court unnecessarily and justice has often been neither speedy nor sure. It la the duty of the Solicitor to see that this sltua tion la corrected,' cases handled more promptly and the proceedings organized so that serving as a wit ness or jury member will not be a distasteful annoyance to people as it sometimes is, but rather an In teresting duty. Many people look upon the posi tion of Solicitor as a political "plum" and one from which politi cal favors can be and are passed out I do not view it a nvh n.i will be running for election not as a politician but as a lawyer who is sincerely interested In the Improve ment of the administration of just ice in the criminal courts. I will and do pledge myself to an energetic, c Speight's AND Coker's TOBACCO SEED A LIMITED STOCK OF GOLDEN HARVEST SEED FARMERS Hardware Co. nt Warsaw 1 j I n r I I jr i n vy r j ; Ky I y i J la va. S LaaXC diligent and impartial prosecution of all violators of the law of the District, without regard to who they are, and a reorganisation and plan, ning of the courts work so that, so far as consistent with efficiency, it will be run for the greater conveni ence of jury members, witnesses, lawyers and all others who have dealings with the court. . ' - . The position of Solicitor is the most important law enforcement office in the District For that rea son I sincerely urge the attention of all interested citizens of the Dis trict to the campaign for this office This election will give them an op portunity to get something which Is much needed in this District -- a more orderly and vigorous prose cution and enforcement of the crim inal laws. It Is, of course, several months before the primary and I probably will be unable to actively begin the campaign for some weeks. However, before .May 27 I expect to ask everyone in the District who Is interested in vigorous, Impartial and efficient law enforcement for their vote and support : : - Mr. Owens is a native of Fount ain, N.
