Law Injures Illegitimates •Publlr Welfare Progress' Points to Raleiirh Case In Showing Evil Result*. Raleigh.—The state’s system of registering Illegitimate children Is resulting In lost Identities, In warped lire*, and needless suffering, de dares the current issue of "Public Welfare Progress,” official publica tion of the State Bynrc1 of Charities and Public Welfare The North Carolina law provides "that In Illegitimate births the word •Illegitimate' shall be written across the fare of I he certificate and all Items on the certificate which would In any way reveal the Identity of the father, mother, or illegitimate child itself shall or omitted.” As an indication of some of the cases growing but of this law, the Progress tells the following story. "A man now about 30 years oi l was reared In a North Carolina or phanage. He was entered as a found ing when strict records were hot kept by the Institution. For the past fifteen years he has tried to trace’ his parentage, declaring that at least i he wants to know his mother s name j One old man in Raleigh knows ihr trtith. but will not reveal It. Brins I deprived of this information ha shadowed this young man’s life until he Is now bitter, sad, and morose, cursid by a feeling' of Inferiority that has come from his anonymous state. Ts It right that the state has in flicted the anguish of a lost iden tity on this young man and count less others who like him are class ed as ‘illegitimate?’ The artlole continues: "Every year there are approxi mately 4.000 Illegitimate children bom In this state. In the effort to protect the mothers and fathers of these children from embarrassment, the state deprives these children of the same right legitimate children have to an identity In the state’s statistics. "Many occasions may present them selves when a citizen of this state, because his father and mother were not married, and through no fault of his own, is Inconvenienced and embarrassed. “For instance, suppose a person TRUSTEE'S SALE. 1 By virtue of the power of sele contained tn » certain deed of trust executed by C.

Elliolt' "The laborer is worthy of his hire.'’ and the Good Book says-"You shall not hold his wage over night, lest he goes to bed hungry.” The laborer's wage should be fair and paid first. It is more Important to save the crop than to make It. and in a good cotton crop the labor is only half done in its cultivation. While only cheap labor can raise cheap products, lei us reverse con ditions and apply the Golden rule. There is no profit to landlords in this cotton crop if gathered at low cost. And the unfortunate laborer is not to blame for the bad judg ment of the grower. Fifty cents per hundred poaunds with board and 75 cents without board would seem rea sonable under present conditions. Under the share tenant system the hands that raise it should be able to gather it. Under a live-at-home, [diversification, to depend too muen on cotton is a gamble that general ly loses and puts the grower in the I picker class. NOTICE OF SUMMON* AND WMMAl OF ATTACHMENT.

During the last year Mrs. Colgin has managed to get him to do a little better and once or twice he has‘gone on a stroll about town, but even now these little out ings for Pete are few arid far be tween. It is not probable that any other business man in Yorkville pays quite as close attention to his business as does Pete Colgin. That reminds that Tommy Fun ded, the cafe man, says that tire Shelby of today resembles the Shel by of six years ago Just as present day photos of underwear resembles photos of the undergarments worn in 1920. And if you're seeking amuse ment, just take a peep back into a newspaper of 1920 and see a photo of father, mother and son all dolled up in long, form-fitting union suits. Maybe that’s what’s wrong with the price of cotton, although clerks of those days assured all buyers that the garments were more or less wool. They never get through razzing all the unusual news stories sent out of Shelby. Here's the crack the Monroe Journal offered about the jailing here some weeks ago of an old man who had temporarily lost his memory: "A wanderer picked up on the road is in jail in Shelby awaiting identification or succor, and The Star says he claims to be a great grandson of Thomas Gray, the Eng lish poet. Bet a fo’pencc he's Char ley Ross." WHERE is the biggest tree in Shelby? A big city newspaper asked that question recently and started some thing which interested the entire city. Let's take a shot at it. Take your tape line, measure the tree with the largest girth in your sec tion, and report to this department. SPEAKING of endurance con tests, a pretty little Shelby brunette made a wager some time back that she could get along in grand style for eight months Without dating up with any of the boy friends. For weeks and months she remained aloft and aloof, but just the other evening, at the end of five months, she weakened when there was a par ticularly interesting talkie on at one of the local Shows. "If those boys who stayed up in a tree for 500 hours thought it was tough going, they oughta trying going dateless for five months," the brunette de clares as she goes back on the eli gible list, PERHAPS they did. but If they didn’t, they should have.

He took his work in life very seriously, and was pains-taking in his efforts to make each grave a lit tle better—just how graves are im proved upon we do not know— than the last one. Then, as such things go, Johns died and needed a grave of his own. It was only prop er that those who look after such matters should see that Johns' grave was all that Johns would de sire it to be, if he were digging it for those who dug it for him. Filling up newspaper space by talking about filling up graves is a dismal topic, isn’t it? DR. SOLOMON S. Royster and former Postmaster W. J. Roberts enjoyed this colyum’s story about the tragic romance in the life of “Wild John” Starnes, the Dravo hermit—at least they said they did —but they were disappointed be cause the name of the girl was not given, or anything about her life after she left this section. Some old-timer may be kind enough to step forward with the desired in formation about the girl who caused the secluded career of the hermit. Whaddya expect this colm to be and it fair week? Destroy Stalks And Control Boll Weevil Farmers of F.ntfre Community Must Co-operate To Get Best Results. Boil weevils going to bed hungry this winter will die before spring but the well-fed, fat ones will like ly live through the cold period to emerge next spring with voracious appetites. “The logical thing to do, there fore, is to kill off the food supply of these w’eevlls before the first hard frost and send them Into hiberna tion in a starved condition,” says C. H. Brannon, insect expert at; State college. “But one farmer op erating alone cannot be very suc cessful in this. It takes the coopera tion of the entire community. One man may kill cotton stalks after picking the staple but the weevils will move to the adjacent field and feed on the cotton there until the stalks are killed by frost. Whole communities should cooperate in this important work for best re sults.” Mr.^Brannon Insists that the only weevils living through the winter are those which obtain a good meal late In the season just before enter ing winter quarters. Cotton is open ing early all over North Carolina this fall and this makes conditions ideal for picking it early and de stroying the stalks before frost. The stalks should be cut and plowed un der, never burned, says Mr. Bran non, and If possible the land planted to some kind of winter cover crop. This is a good farm practice that ought to be followed more general ly by growers. It will mean more fertile soils and less boll weevils to destroy cotton profits next season. Those who have tried the plan say it Is not much extra trouble and that good results have always fol lowed. However, the essential point is to kill the stalks before frost and for whole communities to cooperate in the movement. By this means, boll weevil damage next spring will be materially lessened. Fed Fifteen Cows For $ LOO A Day Guilford County Farmer Telia How He Boarded Cows Cheaply In Summer. By the use of temporary pasture, R. F. Shaw of Greensboro, route S, fed 15 cows through the summer months at a cost of less than $1 a day. “About May first,” says E. C. Blair, extension agronomist at State college, "Mr. Shaw began pastur ing a 20-acre field which had been planted to a mixture of red clover, lespedeza orchard grass and Red Top. This had been sown in 1928. This field kept the 15 cows in full milk flow all through the past dry summer with the addition of less than $1 worth of grain concen trates dally. The field also main tained three dry cows and several calves in excellent condition.” Early in septemDer, wnen ine lespedeza and other plants began to toughen, Mr. Shaw had, another field ready for them. This was planted in the same mixture as the first with the exception that the land was seeded one year later in 1929. During the first part of this year, the second field had produced 2,400 pounds of good hay per acre. Meanwhile, Mr. Shaw had planted another large field to the same seed mixture early in March of this year.
