DUPLIN SHOWS THE WAY
(From Kinston Free Press)
The current efforts of farmers, business men,
agricultural and civic leaders in Duplin County to
develop a long-range farm program to boost rural
incomes is one that deserves sectional, regional and
state-wide recognition.
Among the most appealing suggestions made
for the program are year-around gardens, adequate
poultry production for each farm family, conserva- -tion
of excess fruits and vegetables, further expan
sion of present pasture and livestock programs, in
crease of corn yield per acre and reduction of costs
of production, adequate hay production and a tem
porary pasture program to fill out a 12-month graz
ing program.
All suggestions which will help diversify and
further improve agricultural incomes are being wel
comed. The idea was advanced when Extension
Service specialists pointed out that 81 per cent of
the farmer's income is derived from only 17 per
cent of the available land.
What is true in Duplin is also true in a number
of other Eastern Carolina counties and the program
now being launched will be watched with keen in
terest by rural leaders everywhere.
A COMMUNITY LOSS
(From Kinston Free Press)
The destruction by fire on Sunday of the Out
law's Bridge Universalist Church near Seven
Springs is a serious loss to that community and the
people of that section whom it served since 1906.
The Universalist Church had been used as a
gathering place for various assemblies- and other
programs of interest to members of that faith. It was
a community gathering place as well, and it served
the needs of many more people than those who com
prise its membership. Fortunately, a large part of
its furniture was saved and will be available for
further use. Pastor L. C. Prater and his faithful
flock hope to rebuild the much-needed facility in the
near future.
The people of Duplin County and this section
will share the hope that a ne wand better church
building will soon be erected where the ill-fated
frame building served for nearly half a century.

AFTER the fraternity dance one
of the "toothers" shot another,
for no good reason. Well, there was
a reason of a sort The killer was
drunk, on liquor the fraternity had
bought and served
him. His excuse,
when arrested, was
that when he was
tight" he was trigger-happy.
... A
i prominent motion
picture star di
vorces her husband
for cruelty. It
comes out at the
trial that he was
mean anyhow, and
Dr. Feremaa
that all his
meannesses got worse when he was
drunk. One wonders: Did the know
him very well before she married
hlmf
Every day the papers carry re
ports of cars that "went out of con
trol" with serious or fatal results.
Careful reading of the story .too
often brings out the fact that the
hoys bad been visiting a night-spot
or two before the crash. Survivors
will tell the police they couldn't
have been drunk, they had only had
a few beers. Well, you don't have to
be drunk to let a car get out from
your control. This writer personally
has observed a driver who had had
exactly one beer run a car right off
the pavement In broad sunlight.
Geta Monotonous,
Doeafi'tlt?
A BEX CRIME is committed by a
middle-aged man who sheds
tears over It afterward and can
hardly remember anything about it
"I never would have done It if I had
been sober," he says ... A girl Is
found murdered In a men's rooming-house,
a nice girl too.
Nobody waa drank they had
only been taking few drinks
... A g7-year-old woman was
shot and killed during an argu
ment with her state r4n-Uw. The
sheeting. It waa claimed, was
accidental. They had been hav
ing soma friendly beers In a
near-by tavern "for a couple of
hews" before the shooting.
After they got home, there was
an argument One woman got her
husband's revolver out to scare the
other woman, and the first thing
she knew, she was being arrested
for murder. Her husband told the
police that when sober his wife was
"deathly scared" of guns.
(Beer, the brewers' ads tell us, Is
the friendly drink, It la the drink of
moderation; "Beer Belongs." It
does, Indeed, but where? Possibly
that unfortunate killer-woman had
believed what the ads told her.) . . .
The Truth About liquor
Wiw.t. . . . this could be strung
out to the length of several col
umns, without half trying. The
above items are not from some
chamber of horrors conducted by
the W.C.T.U., not from a sermon by
some Anti-Saloon league preacher,
but gathered from newspaper items
from a few days' papers in a city
which certainly is not prejudiced
against liquor.
The troth about liquor can
ever be teamed from the ad- '
verUamg pages. It can be better
leaned from the news columns.
Better yet, If yen want to know
the truth about It, nek the law
yers, doctors and ministers you
know. Ask the lawyers If their
business would be brisker or
slower If Honor were net In ex.
a . . M 1- -.1
ask we wmm wwuiw awauj
drinkers have stronger or weaker
resistance to disease. Ask the min
isters if they, know of any troubles
In their congregations due to liquor.
(And if even church people have
troubles with it, what about people
with no religion?)

Mr.. Robert Grady
Kenansville, N. C4
Dear Mr. Grady:'
Frnm last niJtht'S NCWS-ATgUS
I saw that the Duplin Story Is to
be repeated. I am glad tnat uus is
tn hp fnr I think that the pageant
was a wonderful thing and certain
ly a thing to be proud of. There is
one thing which 1 do not think
oHHprt tn it however, and that is
the story about the three daugh
ters. This may ne amusing dui
pprtainlv adds nothing of historical
value to the show, in as much as
the dance described was not in ex
istance until many years after the
formation and early history of Du
plin.
There is also one item of value
which was omitted and which 1
think could well be incorporated
into the next pageant and that is
the formation of Company E, 20th
N. C. Regiment, which was formed
entirely of Duplin county men and
which was formed and drilled near
Faison.. There Is a monument
erected to these men now standing
at Faison and this company did
many deeds of valor in the War
Between The States. I have a short
history of the formation and deeds
of this Company written by an
uncle of mine and if Mr. Byrd
would consider incorporating this
history into the next pageant, I
will be glad to loan him the book
let. I do feel that this is of histori
cal value and should be shown.
And now something that has
nothing to do with the pageant of
Duplin or of historical value, but
I feel that some of my old friends
in Duplin who used to read my
poetry in the Duplin Times might
be interested in this item. I have
just received word from the State
Federation of Woman's Clubs that
a noem I submitted has been Judg
ed best in the State and I will re
ceive the Federation Poetry Cup.
I thought you might publish this
item in the paper next Thursday
as that is the day that the cup will
be presented.
Very truly yours,
Mrs. Helen H. Beems.
