IN ACTIVE RETIREMENT. (Peoples Weekly.) Senator F. M. Simmons (we would say ex-Senator if we could frume our iniiid to think of him as ex) is a hap py l•ontellted, optimistic mini id hia letii-einent from state and national polities. He is also active, in that he is doin,' and planning as would a thirty year old person. Well past three score and ten, he a living exiiuiple to many men that have quit, given up the ghost as it were. He is interested in everything that you and we are interested in. He daily, eagerly scans the daily press, leads the current magazines iind looks upon life and the present UK the beginning of a new career. Ho is afarnier, going daily to his many hundreds of acres, observing and superintending, interested in all that is going on. When the tobacco inarkeffi open in this belt on Septetn- her Ist, he will be found on the ware- liouse tloor.s looking after the thous ands of pounds of weed from his own tobacco fields. While everyone knows that he would have liked to have tiiiish ‘d his earthly tenure in ottioe, he has no feeling over the matter and thesitua- tiun tiiat caused his retirement. Everyone knows tha.t he would take the same po.sition a.gain if the same situation should ai'ise. He had a principle and an opinion, aud did not swerve from his poMticn, al- tlujugh it meant his retirement. . To vividly bring to the puhlicniind the character and optimism of this man, we will 88.y that this summer he has built only a few miles from New Bern, a large country home in which to paea the remniiuler of his earthly span, surroinded by his children and grandchildren, allabout liiiii in close proximity his fields of jiroduetivity, where he can live next to nature's heart, watching hisflocks and his acres, milking the living for him, in much less turmoil aJl confu sion, than in the Senate of the couu- fie loves agriculture more than he loved the law and the law making. He is the hapjiiest when plodding over jiljwed furrows, observing low ing herds and planning for theyear’s work. History will record him as an all round man, master of every task im- pused on him, eager for work to set tle every complex question a.nd as a result-getter he will be set down as a iiea.'- hundred pier cent achiever. -gentle .and kiii^^^mipereil by years of contact witii men of note and acliievineiit he has aciiuired a pose that is unique; ills judgmeiic on questions, world wide in tlieir sciq.>e, is rare, and though retired and happy in his en vironment and association, this man w II be considered the proper person i(I whom many will turn lor council and advice on matters that concern state and nation, ami his words will be valued for their wisdom and per- being a hajifi.v soul, ( ontented in his presentsjihere of retirement, happy in the bti-y life lie is leading on the farm.

Drought is a terrible thing while it lasts—imt the rest seems to do the soil good and when tlie drought is over, all vegetation ta.kes on new life and grows with unusual vigor. This is shown in the regions wliich were affected by tlie drought of last Slimmer. Things have never before grown so fast us they have this season. It is true that the water supply is still far below uornial ill many sections, in “pite of a.bnadant rains. It takes a long time for the deep underground sources to be replenished. Tlie drought this year has visited differ ent regions tha.n tliat of last year, and the people of these stricken re gions have the sympathy o! the whole country. “If it isn’t one thing it’s another” these days. Droughts, stock crnslies mid bank failures, starvation prices for wheat, lack of market for fruit, eggs and other cash products—these are a few of the very discouraging things tliis country has to meet. Nevertheless, human beings have infinite courage and they will not let these eonditions beat tliem.— Ex. Plan now for an exhibit at your county or district fair. I.et tlie other fellow see the kind of cow you have or the kind of crops you grow. Or maybe its a pig you want to show. Anyway it pays. Did our people know that taxe.s may lie paid in advance midj a smig discount realizeil. If paid in July 2 1-2 per cent.; in August, 2 percent.; September 1 1-2 per cent. This is a new law and in the absence of know ing exactly what tlie tax is, the payer pays the same as last and should there be a reduction there is a refund a.nd should there be a.ii increase, the tax payer pays the diKerenee, getting the same discount. A lady tax payer in Craven county had quite a time vonvinciiig the officials of tlie city and county, but a reiiding of the new law sufficeii aud she paid the taxes in advance. Its a rare piece of news when made up of facts that a person is paying taxes far in advance.—Peo ples Weekly.

Open the throttle—the power flows evenly. Accelerate—throttle down—go fifteen or fifty— and this smoothness stays with you whatever you do. It’s actually bitilt into the motor—aud objectionable vibration never even starts I Yet smoothness is only one of many six-cylinder advantages. There’s greater quietness, because noisy vibration is gone. TTiere’s greater comfort, because built-in smoothness doesn't tire you out. There’s greater flexibility, because the power- impulses of a six overlap. And a six is much easier to handle! If you raise the hood of a Chevrolet and watch the engine running so smoothly, you’ll realize that six cylinders also mean greater dependability.
