PAY OFF THE
STATE DEBT
We feel that the huge surplus
now piling high in the .North Car
olina State Treasury should be
used to pay off the state debt.
This is not smart politics . . . just
good business.—Sandhill Citizen.
WASTING TIME
iDo you sometimes wonder what
Congress does, and why it doesn’t
get any more done than it does?
Apparently, here is why: Re
cently it has been haggling about
these British Caribbean bases
leased to us for 99 years in ex
change for 50 over-age warships.
Some members of Congress are
now insisting that we should ac
quire permanent title.
Just consider that matter for a
moment. We have them in our pos
session for 99 years—long after
Congressmen now living will be
dead and maybe forgotten. By
that time there 'may be no British
empire. Any one ot' dozens of oth
er international changes may —
probably will — have taken place,
placing them in our possession or
rendering them worthless.
That bridge is much too far
away to be worrying about its
crossing now. Even so, our repre
sentatives at Washington waste
their time over an issue that can
wait four score and ten years, and
perhaps be settled more easily
and equitably than it probably
could now.
SPRING
Nature has come out of its win
ter coma and is bedecking the
drab world with color and beauty.
She is teaching us the lesson that
just as winter has passed, all
things must pass, even the horri
ble war in which we are engaged.
“I will lift up mine eyes to the
hills, from which cometh my
help.”
An ancient .Persian king is said
to have kept at his side a menial
always to remind him that what
ever the conditions surrounding
should be, that “and this, too,
shall pass.” Today in the midst of
war with its burdens and sorrows
we need more than ever before to
learn the lesson the springtime
would teach us. “And this, too,
shall pass.”
In each opening bud, blossom
and tender blade of grass there
can be read God’s promise of bet
ter things and that He has not re
linquished His hold on the 'World
—and that man, in all his destruc
tive power, can only mar and scar,
but cannot destroy the earth nor
life, the individual life which is
but a drop in the Supreme life.
Let those who have been touch
ed directly and deeply by the
tragedy of war get closer to Na
ture and with eyes that seed and
ears that hear learn the lesson of
spring — that life is eternal and
nothing can destroy it. Again the
green will grow above the rubble,
and where there are now ruins,
life will bloom again.
It is spring with its promise of
new life. “I will lift up mine eyes
to the hills, from which cometh
my help.”—Standard Laconic.
HELP BREAK
BLACK MARKETS
People of eastern North Caro
lina, and law abiding folks gen
erally, will appreciate the way
Judge Meekins dealt with viola
tors of the OPA in his courts.
By his decrees he makes of
fenders understand they are
breaking the law and that if they
break that law or any law, they
must suffer the consequences. The
black market in gasoline and food
is making money for a small por
tion of the population, but is de
priving the greater portion of the

essentials of life, and especially
is this true regarding gasoline,
which has come to be a necessity,
that it is difficult to do without,
and continue the normal function
of business in these parts.
Every one realizes- the gasoline
shortage is due mainly to the
great demand for it to fight the
war effectively on the Various
fronts of the world, and patriotic
people, anxious to help our boys
win the war, are willing to make
all the sacrifices necessary to ac
complish this and get it over as
quickly as possible.
The most effective way to help
His Honor and the law enforce
ment forces of the country is to
refuse to buy anything from the
black market dealers. When they
lose their revenue from the illegal
sale of gas and food, more of the
necessities of life will be provided
for those who obey the law.
We owe it to our country, to
ourselves and our neighbors to
put an end to black market opera
tions as quickly as possible, and
the quickest way to stop it is to
stop patronizing illegal vendors
of prohibited articles.—Wilson

The Letterbox
. —’j
(Editor’s Note: The following
letter was received over the week
end by Mr. and Mrs. S. L. Sasser,
from their son, Baxter, concern
ing his experiences during the
tornado and storm which recently
struck parts of South Carolina.)
Monday
Dear Folks,
As we drifted into bed Saturday
night, everything was peaceful
and calm as usual except the dis
tant rolling of thunder. Light
ning flashed and dashed across
the sky as if it were 'merely a
playground. No one had even the
faintest idea that this would de
velop into anything so mysteri
ous as a tornado, however that
goes to prove that nothing is cer
tain. No one knows what will hap
pen next, except the Divine One.
About midnight the distant
rumbling of the thunder and the
playful flashes of lightning had
changed into boisterous grum
bling thunder and angry flashes
of lightning being pushed along
and aided by the fierce monster
of wind.
The thing, that we people call
storms, grew worse and worse and
all at once a black terrifying ob
ject coming from nowhere but yet
from somewhere was hurtled
through the air, tearing and de
structing as it rolled along. Homes
that had been worked on for
years were ruined, farms which
were expected to yield profits
were damaged and human beings
who knew not that this was their
destiny were hurled into Eternity.
Does anyone know why? Can any
one answer the mysterious ques
tions of Life and the Universe.
The tornado plunged onward
and was about to strike Emman
uel College. The yards that it
lacked hitting were not numerous.
People were holding their breath.
Yes, without doubt, there were
screams. What could they do.
Helpless against the work of Na
ture! How utterly helpless man
is. But as it was about to strike,
the Divine Hand, I think, had
other plans and its course was
changed. God must hava inter
vened because Emmanuel was un
damaged. 'But why?
As soon as the storm had pass
ed over and the tornado had >m
pleted its task of destruction
which was about 1 o’clock, we
boys went out among the destruct
ed area to do all in our power to
help. We did what we could but.
that was not very much. Because
of the darkness all of the damage
could not be seen but as soon as
the lamp of the world began to
toss its light rays to us, we beg;n
again to look at the destruction.

No, ’tis nothin? compared to the'

loss was great
Families with grieved looks
o’er their brows stood in the
breezes on the Sabbath and tossed
sorrowful glances towarded their
destructed lives. Look! You can
see it! Phrases can’t describe the
destruction or at least words are
begin to fail so now I shall cease

Yes, it’s all mysterious,
And, yes, it’s mighty serious,
