Federal bonds, we are told,
than it owes in bonds or any
other way. Hoke has eight
townrhips: Allendale, An-ti-K'h.
Blue Springs, Little

Rjii'ord and McLauchlin
have two voting precincts.
One thing I urge upon the
city dads of Raeford is a
play ground for the smaller
children. They, for the want
est neighbor up on the old
Drowning creek farm. He
looked like Jiggs and who
ever made Jigg's picture
must have known Bruce. His
wife was Kizzie Sheppard
and resembled "Maggie."
They were good neighbors
who never forgot to be kind,
and six little Poole boys ov
er the hill were treated with
the kindest consideration no
matter how ofen thov came.
A very big snow came late i
in March, lSt)4. It must have
onio late, for "Squire Daniel
McKci:de'' had p!:mkd corn.!

therefore could not romp a

Jtreets and some of these
days hearts will be wrung in
Ra eford, for an automobile

I am entirely out of pati
ence with organized labor.
It is giving the country a
harder time and more trou
ble in several wavs than
AVuld War III, the most
ruinou;; war in all time, so
ar as cost is concerned.

a job, but when he quits hej

no matter what it costs. j
Lightening is said to have !
i at ruck a Hoke County citi- j
i ron's garage, set it on fire i
and destroyed the smoke-
ouse with his supply of ba
con and lard. Two neigh
bors got into a car next day,
rode around the neighbood
a few hours and returned
with an abundant year's sup
ply of bacon and lard so
the loss was taken by the
neighbors.
The patience of the Ameri
can people is exhausted. I
remember when a supreme
court justice said: The Ju
diciary is exhausted." How
ever, a judge occupying a
lower position thought other
wise, and brought order out
of chaos.
There is no statesman
ship in the executive and
legislative branches of our
governing toying with a si
tuation devoid of common
sense and justice. This coun
try is suffering a relapse
(worse than the disease)
which has had the right
treatment, and the patient
should now be recuperating.
The United States of Ameri
ca is in relapse and sicker
than ever before.
If labor was being bene
fitted by the strikes destroy
ing the greatest country un
der he sun it might be pa
tiently endured, but only the
white-collared gentrv, who
have never worked nor ser
ved any except themselves,
may gain more to spend in
riotous living.
Who is demanding the re
peal of price-ceiling? The
National Chamber of Com
merce, an organization of
drones, who consume but
never toil or spin and have
robbed the general public
of the cream of the whole
milk.
Not a doubt in my mind,
Josephus Daniels, editor and
publisher of The News and
Observer, is the greatest
North Carolinian of all time.
Little has been said about it
but his most signal service
was done in Mexico during
the eight years he served as
Ambassador to that coun
try. The Mexicans had car
ried chips on their shoulders
until they had become hump
shouldered with hatred of
the United State, engender
ed by want of accurate
knowledge of the intentions
of this, the greatest power
on earth.
