R; GRADY The more we hear find Hodges the more we like him. He is not only a man of ability but a man who is showing a real common interest in the "common man" in North Carolina. He has risen high in this state but is ing himself as a true and honest leader for the welfare of all. His popularity is gaining and we predict his election as governor next time. More power to you, Governor Hodges, go ahead. THE SQUIRE FROM HAW RIVER ' Our Junior Senator, JW.. Kerr Scott, is showing a vital interest in the welfare of the farmers of North Car olina. He has not surprisingly developed great strength in the United States Senate. North Carolina was for tunate when we elected him to the Senate. He knows the problems of the farmer and has the "guts" to go after those problems. We are proud of you Senator Scott County. Keep going. J.R.G. DEER IN DUPLIN ARE ABOUT GONE It has been suggested that the State prohibit all deer hunting in Duplin . County for a period of three years. Deer have almost become extinct in this county. If we stop all killing for a period of three years Duplin could become a mecca for deer hunters. We like the suggestion. , At one time deer hunting "in Duplin" was a great sport but they have been killed out to the extent that there are few left to bred. This idea may also apply to other eastern counties. I am not a deer hunter, but I ?iory in trie sport ior tnose PRESIDENT EISENHOWER By J. R. Grady Monday morning Even though we are strong, Democrats we have great respect and admiration for President Eisenhower. His heart attack last week, ac cording to press reports, in our opinion may. eliminate him from active duty for the remaining era of his ad ministration. We have very little faith in the ability, na tionally and foreign of Vice President Nixon. However, Nixon will have to carry the load if the President doesn't recover. Nixon is not a Harry Truman, by a long shot. History is beginning to reveal, even this early, that Harry Truman is truly among 6ui greats. i President Eisenhower, in his true philosophy, is more a Democrat than a Republican. We hope for his speedy recovery. He has not only won World War II for us, but we believe he was on the road to winning world peace. Wolfescrape's Albert Outlaw Sues Mf. Olive Men For Alleged Damages A Duplin County political figure, Albert Outlaw of near Calypso, for mer member and chairman of the Duplin County Draft Board, has filed suit against Dr. W. H. Crump ler and William (BiU) Jones of Mt. Olive seeking compensatory damag es of $50,000 and punitive damages of $25,000 as result of an alleged affray several months ago that was previously-undisclosed. B. V.

' Wells said his authority gives him permission to grant 2Q more days "for good cause shown" if request ed, but that he had received no re quest for an extension. The defendant Dr. -W. H.

According to officials a 1932 Chev rolet was parked on Pickett Rill near Qurman Powell's home Mon- day afternoon by a Mr. Thigpen., It "had a flat' tire. At 11:30 that night patrolman passed and it was all 1 Intact except the flat tire. Between 1:30 and daylight some one came up nd removed,, not only the tires hut the wheels- also. They left the flat tire. It is susplcloned that Ma. , rines did the Job. The Wheels were green on the inside with a " red trip around them.

The complaint does not state where the incident took place nor does it relate incidents leading to the alleged affray. Men Of The Church Meet In Wallace BY J. R. GRADY The Men of the Church of the Wilmington Presbytery met in Wal lace last Wednesday night at ,their annual gathering. Supper was serv ed in the school cafeteria and the meeting held in the auditorium. Ap proximately 250 attended. 1 Leslie Boney, Jr., of Wilmington, Presid ent, presided. Dr. J. A. Jones, for mer pastor of Meyers Park Presby terian church In Charlotte deliver ed the principal address. ' Dr' Jones is president-elect of the Union The ological Seminary in Richmond and is considered one of the outstanding ministers in the country., ' His sub ject, in general, was the -place of the church in our lives and our obligations to the church. .f , v; : James Harriss pf Wilmington was electe'd president to succeed Boney. D. M. Calhoun, Superintendent of schools in Bladen County, was elected vice president and Gerald Carr of Rose Hill was elected secre. tary and treasurer. : : , . Since ' the "organization ' of the "Men of the Church? Litch Huie of Warsaw and Dallas Herring of Rose Hill have served as president and now we have, Gerald Carr, an other DuplinKe, as secretary t Treas urer. This is as It should be since Duplin is the borne of Presbyterian. ism In North Carolina. ' The sect began right here in KenanaVille issues to the contrary. : your Boy BnefS fOP 1 1 Jesse Hall BY BOB GRADY Today I received a card advertis ing name plates for homes. On first thought it didn't appeal to me but on second thought I realize that as we drive along country roads and see homes, we wonder who lives there. When you see a name on. a mail box it brings to mind that you know who lives in that house. So the same reasoning applies to folks who live out of town and know us who live in town. When they drive in town and see your name on the house they might drop in for a friendly chat. We don't generally drop into a house unless we are sure who lives there. We need more visiting and friendly chats. It's not conceit but a sensible thought to put our names in front of or on our house. We all are inter ested in knowing just where our friends live. Don't we want to have "a house by the side of the road"? JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES Mrs. Harper came in a few days ago to sell me a book. Being a Pres byterian, I don't exactly subscribe to their doctrines. Neither, maybe, they do not subscribe to our doc trines. I bought the book and am going to read it. Also I have a book called the "Morman Bible" which many of our good folks in Duplin believe in. We all have our creeds and 'beliefs. They vary some but not too much in reality. I'm re minded of the Jewish Rabbi and the Catholic priest. They were dis cussing religious beliefs and the Catholic priest up and said "we are both seeking the same ends, only you are going your way and I'm going mine." Doesn't that ap ply to all of us? If we were not humans we wouldn't be so differ ent and" that's what' makes life in teresting. We must have a common understanding even though we dif fer in the manner of movement: This applies to all races. THE ALBEMARLE PRESBYTERY It seems to me that the Albe marle Presbytery is growing. As an "old timer" in the Wilmington Presbvlerv told me yesterday, the old folks in this area think of the Albemarle Presbytery as being In the northeast -art Of the state. Mostly I think they think in terms of Albemarle county or upUn the sandhills where the town of Stan ley is the county seat. The truth of th Matter, Albe marle PresbVtery adjoins Wilming ton Pre-sbvterv find. I think the Nuse River at Goldsboro, Seven Springs, Kinston and New Bern is the dividing line: They are our neighbors. Since the advent of Dr. Dudley in this area Albemarle has grown considerably, and Mr. Ham ilton in Kinston and Murphy Wil liams in Wilson are doing a great job. Of course. Dr. Dudley, now in Raleigh, is leading the church and church colleges to. a great front. My thinking is that we here, in his torical Duplin, recognize our neigh. bor, the Albemarle Presbytery a growing institution in the name of Christ. 8PEEDERS Patrolman Hester with , his "Whammy" caught 5 speeders on Highway 24 Monday night. He was stationed just West of Weaver's Bridge. 2 trucks, were averaging 55 miles per hour,- one car at 80 and 2 cars at 70. Better watch out boys. The Patrolmen have their job to do, and so do we. BOARDING HOUSE Duplin County's "free Boarding House" has taken care of seventy one boarders so far in September, according to W. O. Houston. The "Boarding House" is the Duplin County jail. Want to come in? COURTS County Court convenes Monday and Superior Court on the 10th. Judge Henry L. Stevens will pre side over Superior Court and Judge Mercer over County Court. KENANSVILLE TRAFFIC Why all the increased traffic in Kenansville? , It's getting literally dangerous to enter a street, day long and almost night long.. There are, naturally, laws, but you have to watch your move. Where is it coming from? Oply a few years ago this was a 'alow going town, that is, as far as traffic is .concerned, but as it is going now it reminds me of highways in the north. Pa trolmen must be observing this be cause almost any time you can see one in town.- With farm prices fall ing it seems to me traffic would be slowing down. I generally awake before dawn, awakened by the traf fic. v It- seems, to me that we are becoming a center of traffic cross ing. ' Folks in this area better keep watch and as I observe the traffic Is going too fast through town. It appears . that -Kenansville is no longer just a '"country crossroad," it. is growing "into, its own. . Not a metropolis, but a town that is showing signs of growth and high way 24 is showing signs of traffic. "Take It or leave if, period. JJl.Q. Scouts Invest in the Hugh Johnson, Of Rose Hill, Appointed Head Of Duplin Christmas Seal Sale Hugh Johnson of Rose Hill, a member of the North Carolina State General 'Assembly by governnor torial appointment will head the 1955 Christmas Seal Sale in DuDlin County. Accepting the appointment from Dr. Otto S.
