I know how John Charles Mc Neil felt when he wrote: “When de nights Is fcann and! de moon is toll; ;vv You kin ketch more cats dan you care to poll. No trouble twut de halt; i A grubUl do or a 111 fat meat, For all he wants is suanp’n to • eat, , . En he am t no ban’ wmmm However, I hesitate to lay down all &nd get going because of the criticism, the jokes and the suffering a chronic fisher man as 1 encounter. It seems that I always meet people as James Larkin Pearson who said In 1811 that "the more worth less a man, the. more' fish h^ catches.” Or, the editor of, the New Bern Tribune who Wtoto In 1884 that "many a man will stand out In the sun and fish all day Sunday because It’s too hot to go to church.” And such wags as Luby Hardi son of New Bern who didn’t be lieve the' weight of my fish. “I know a fellow who weighed his eight-months-old baby on. the same scales,” said Luby, "and he tipped them at 96 pounds.” Or, Josephus Daniels whO noted in a July, 1882, Issue of the Wilson Advance that Raleigh had a store “where worms are sold for fishing bait. That Is nothing. There are stores in Wilson where fish are sold so that a man need not trouble himself with worms.” The discomfort has changed but little since the April 24,1879, Issue of the Raleigh News car wimOit ■ a >% V. ■ ; "He dug his halt and off he hied Unto the plaicid Neuse’s side. • His hoc* sank In the wave; He sat with basement very wet But only one bite did he get And that — a mosquito gave.” Another displeasing phase was poerned by “S. W. H.” in the November 19, 1906, Charlotte Observer: “When yer take the hoe behin’ the house an’ dig a can o’ bait Then yer snatch a bite o’ sup per an’ yer can hardly wait, An’ then get out yer fish pole?, cause yer know they’re goin’ ter bite lAn’ fishin in the mornin’ ain’t like fishin’ long bout night. “An’ while yet waitin’ fer yer fish, yer scarcely breathe' Ter never notice ho* the moon hu got beltin’ » cloud. - *' Tfoenyetget a nibble an' then the ftuhln’ *fcop*; 'rV \ Upon yer head ahd neck and hahds yer feel the big vet ’ drape. >W; <Ud not bring no drinks along, ve didn’t see the use'; But the heavens opened up ; their hearts and let us have f, •' the juice.

Next time we go a-flshln’ I want a dryer day; So I wanter go an record, and 1 wanter make it plain — rm ter flahln’ in the moon light, not ter flshln’ in the rain.” As said before, I hesitate. But not tor long. Then 1 get going, because I want to live like “Jim Ray" of Dftte University’s H. E. “Funniest man you ever, see, AUers hones’ lak an’ square, Good a neighbor as can be But we thought him awful quare. ‘Fore the sap waz gud n’ riz Jim wuz down on Minner Creek Jes a-fishin’. , “Mebtoe lucky, mebbe not; NUthln’ ever daunted Jim.

When these Senators are dealing with bills affecting the National Defense, they base their decisions solely upOn the consideration whether the bills are reasonably calculated to promote the security of the Na tion. In other words, they act as Americans rather - than as i^eimaprats or K^pwjuc^is^jrniB Is, Of course,.as It should be. Addition On Friday of last week, the State of Louisiana presented to the United States for permanent location in Statuary Hall, the statue of one at her most dis tinguished sons, Edward Douglass White, soldier of the Confederacy and one time Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. i Edward Douglas White became a Justice of the Supreme Court of Lousiana in 1879. After he had served in that capacity for fif teen years, he was appointed an Associate Justice .of the Supreme Court of the United States by President Grover Cleve land. After he had performed the duties of that office an addi tional sixteen years -he was ele vated to the post of Chief Justice of the United-States by President William Howard Taft. Be occu pied this last office until his death in 19(21. It thus appears that Edward Douglass White was called to Judicial labor on the Nation’s highest tribunal after he had Opened his experience as a Judge by long service on . his State’s highest Court, and that he was elevated to the Chief Justiceship’of the United States after he had further ripened his experience as a Judge by Court service as an Associate Justice fo the Supreme Court of theUnlted States.
