Solicitor Ollllam, of the secogd judicial district, finds It necessary to warn the Justices of the peace in his territory against permitting set* tlement In their courts of cases be yond their Jurisdiction. The solicitor addresses himself particularly to the practice of the magistrates In turning their courts Into collection agencies for worth less checks, contrary o the law. In such cases, he writes, the magistrate has no authority other than to dis miss the case or find probable cause for a trial In superior court. It must be concluded, therefore, that either through Ignorance or for the sake of the costs flowing into their pockets, the magistrates of the second district, and probably all the other districts, are violating the law. This Is but another illustration of the lamentable fact that the state Is afflicted from Clay county to tidewater by a swarm of subordi nate Judgse, Incompetent in legal knowledge, often deficient In both character and horse sebm. These Ill-equipped or plainly predatory justices harvest upon the people who fall Into their bands. Such is the sad juristic situation of North Carolina In this business of justices of the peace, appointed In herds either by the legislature or the governor. Many are able and conscientious servants of the state; they must suffer from the reproach brought upon them and upon North Carolina by making polities out of the dmlnlstratlcn of Just lee. The good men In the justices' courts could be elected by the peo ple; many of these who serve In this post would be laughed off the ticket even by a people often too complacent in the selection of their public officials. What, If anything, will the legis lature do about this business? There can be no thorough-going renovation of the magistrate sys tem without constitutional amend ment, It seems, but the legislature and the governor can end the prac tice of placing in office hundreds of men who bring the courts Into evil repute and make a solemn mum mery of Justice.

Jenkins > After several years of declining ! health, Brother T. O. Lee, better j known in this section as Gamle j Lee. departed this life early Mon. day morning. December 34. 1938. He lived beyond hU allotted time | of three score years and ten. due to the fact that during his earlier years he had preserved hla body 1 and guarded his health by living a 1 simple and wholesome life. He was j born February B, 1848. lie was 82 ' years, 10 months and 15 days old. ! Thus he finished his course, won the crown at a ripe old age and I was at peace with God and all! mankind. On August 21. 1806 he was unit ed in marriage to Permelia Ann Holland. Two children were bom Into this home: Dr. L. V. Lee, a prominent physician of Lattlmore, and Mrs. J. R. Greene, of Boiling Springs. These two children and their mother. Mrs. T. G. Lee are now living to mourn their loss. Mr. and Mrs. Lee reared two of Mr. Loe's brother's children: Chas. O. Lug, Cottonwood. Ala.,, and Mrs. W. C. Hamrick, of Bolling Springs. They were both at his bedside when he died. For slxty-two years this couple had lived in this community and thay are numbered among the moat prominent people of this section, both of them having been reared In this Immediate territory and having established for themselves and their children an enviable record for honesty, frugality and high toned living. Brother Lee united with the j Bolling Springs Baptist church' about sixty years ago and during all this time he has lived a quiet and somewhat reserved, but con sistent life. He waa a man at tew words but of strong convictions, and he possessed a definite &n< positive personality. He always at tended to bla own business and re trained from meddling in othei peoples' affairs. He had no susplc ton in his heart which was an un mlstakable .evidence of honesty huc sincerity. He had his faults anc like all of us was Imperfect, bui beneath an imperfect exterior he revealed a strong Christian man hood which was moulded by a chlld'Uke faith In Jesus Christ. Served In Wr. During the wer between the States, when the Civil War clouds hung low and when his native Southland made her appeal for more recruits, Brother Lee at the early age, 01 17 volunteered and went In defense of his country and laid his ell upon the eltar. During the lest two years of the Civil War he was taken a prisoner of war at Point Lookout and waa confined for over six months in the federal prison. But like ell those true con federate soldiers he came back from the war at Its dose to rebuild the fallen fortunes of the Old South end to make possible the New South. By hard work, wise man agement end by the cooperation of his faithful wife, he accumulated enough of this world’s goods to make him reasonably comfortable in his old age and to provide a liv ing for his companion, whom he left behind. He belonged to that Immortal gray line that followed Lee and Jackson and today he la number ed with the heroic deed. But that grey line grows thinner end thin ner with the passing years. Soon the last of them will pass on. But may their memory ever be green In our hearts and may their kind be perpetuated.

Too bad one can’t throw cab bages at talking screen actors.— Walter Wnchell. He Played The Violin. News And Observer. Music has charms, any sort of music, even If it Is claiming too much to say "It soothes the savage breast," or has Influence on all people. Nothing gives greater com fort to its possessor than the violin. Give a man who loves the concord of sweet sounds that musical pro ducer, and neither poverty nor riches matter much to him. He lives in a world above want or af fluence. This is proved by the story of this week’s Hyde County Rec ord. In writing of the death of “Uncle” Calhoun Tooley, old-timer ’ editor of that paper says: "If there Is somewhere a wonderful place, a land of beginning again, a paradise beyond the blue, as promised in the Book of Books many centuries ago by the Sinless Nazarene, the least your numerous friends pray for Is that you will find an eternal rest on Its golden streets ana nna mat peace that comes to everyone who irables down . life's tangled trail •.nd falls to sleep in its serene aft erglow when the reds and yellows /ere paling in the west, bidding a rnder goodbye today.” The secret f these rhetorical remarks is that Uncle” Calhoun played the vio tn, the editor saying, "in retrospec ion we drift backward^-across the ears that have tucked themselves orever into the store house of .ternity, and find the battered milestones, tarnished by the rav ages of time, of hundreds and hun dreds of persons who knew and loved "Uncle” Calhoun, and will long to hear, as the years tiptoe by, one more plaintive tune from his tuneful violin and one more inter esting story frofh the grand old man gone into the beyond." It seems that Mr. Tooley had $©Uffct happiness outside Hyde county for & time, but to quote again from The Record, -when the Shadows were slanting westward, stgSJfyir-g that hie life's day was almost done, he trekked back to his jgtive Hyde, to die in the bosom Of the land that cradled him, back to the land of yesterday, back to the favorite haunts <4 boyhood days when life was s merry Jest -nd each day brought some new joy ee»h jMeVfsH the ef tfcf s*** hush of an evening hour, when shadows gather as shadows some times do, "Uncle" Calhoun stretch- - ed his hands across the mists to touch the hands of those he once knew, who long preceded him into an unknown and unexplored world." Dr. Foe Describes A Good Farm. Concord Times. The Progressive Farmer, edited by Dr. Clarence Poe, one of the best known agricultural experts in the South, for many years has studied farm problems from many angles, yet it finds itself somewhat perturbed over the question, “What is a good farm?” It is not difficult to discuss gen eralities and give hints and sug gestions that should prove valu able. The Progressive Farmer finds but It Is not easy to answer In del inite terms, the above question However, after due study, investi gation and thought the agricultur al editor believes the buyer oi renter of a farm, especially if it be in a strange community, should consider twelve points: First, ability of the land to pro duce crops per acre or its capa city for being built up to a high state of productivity. Second, whether the land "lies well” for cultivation and the u^e oi labor-saving machines. Third, nearness to good roads and markets. Fourth, proximity to good schools and churches. Fifth, whether the community in which farm is located is made qp of progressive, forward-looking peo ple.
