Hits Woman With f tick To Scatter Idea? "I hit her with the stick to scatter her ideas," explained Octavius Fere tee, eolored, while testifying in the ease in Recorder's Court on Tuesday, in which Octavius Ferebee and Emma Winslow were both defendants, both eharged with assault with a deadly -weapon. ; " It happened at Besse Ferebee's cook shop in "Newtown," the scene of co many similar affairs, on last Sat urday night. Bessie said she had 50 hogs feet cooked to Bell and that she told Octavius that if he would play the piano for her that .night for the dancers she would tip him, if U the hogs feet were sold. So Octavius was playing, when Emma came in, Emma is said to have been drinking. Bessie said she was drunk. Several witnesses testified that she was; the aggressor. She is said to have told Octavius not to hit another key. She had" the knife," Octavius said, and he t: 'Ml! ,V!a1 'Ant, . enaHar jfeS'-Jterideas.- Bessie 'tried to get Emma ' home and go to bed but she j VV'' .wouldn't,'' and so, at Bessie's sugges- 'tyrVnm, Octavius ' just threw her down on the floor and took theiknife away. ;' . la the.scpffle;hi hands were ut.

V cf WinfalL had the 5 ft -very Valuable Tiirough ; Capitol Keyholes By BESS HINTON SILVER . G. 0. P. CANDIDATE Some Re publican members of the General As sembly -are inclined to view with favor the suggestion v that former Congressman Chas. Jonas, now the Representative from Lincoln County in the Legislature, may become a can didate lox Governor next spring in opposition to Gilliam Grissom who al ready has voiced intentions of mak ing the race. Mr. Jonas attracted wide attention with his bill to provide discretion between Capital Punish ment and life imprisonment and in firat degree criminal cases 'and his at titude favoring removal of tolls from bridges in Eastern North - Carolina. It might be well to observe his smoke. DOUBT REMOVED Former Lieu tenant Governor R. T. Fountain, of Rocky Mount, has let it be publicly known that he is seriously consider ing running for Senator in opposition to Senator Josiah W. Bailey in the Democratic primaries next spring. Nevertheless, there are some rather astute political observers around this Capital City who say they believe Mr. Fountain's announcement is in tended as a blow at the potenteial candidacy of Governor Ehringhaus, who beat him by a nose three years ago, more than as a thrust at Sena tor Bailey. The Governor doesn't ap pear worried. DQNT LIKE IT-Some members of the joint 'legislative finance com mittees can't take the idea of Repre sentative McDonald of Forsyth, t introduce a substitute to the sales tax on the floor of the House of Repre sentatives. Representative R. Greeg Cherry, of Gaston, and Thomas O'Berry, of Wayne, made certain re marks indicating that they thought Dr. McDonald was "holding out" on them by not giving the committee the benefit of his views. The Forsyth Representative is a member of the House finance committee. SPEED LOST Not a few legisla tors express the opinion that rapid passage over sections of the revenue and appropriations bills is not going to save much time in the long run. They figure that . opponents of the proposals of spending and taxing will hold their fire until the bills get on the floors of House and Senate and then loose their bombardments. It may or may not be-algnificant that anti-ftdministrationists are holding their peace in committee meetings. PATROLMAN It's entirely possi ble that you may soon catch sight of a State Highway, patrolman in your county. Bills have been introduced in the General Assembly to transfer the patrol back from the revenue 'depart ment to the highway department and to increase the number of patrolmen. Also, patrolmen would be relieved of duties of collecting gas and oil sam ples for inspection and required to do nothing except watch automobile drivers and attemp to reduce slaugh ter on the public roads. ',. r ;,' HAND-OUTS Various and .sundry bills have been introduced in the Leg islature to use State .highway gaso line and license 4taxe3 for purposes other than building roads. Some of the measures would have gas tax money reduce local government roads debts, while others would require the highway commission to pave streets in cities. One million dollars in high way money is already going into the general fund and the budget commis sion has endorsed this policy for the next two years. If you have any definite idea3 on the subject of how gasoline and license taxes should be iyent the present might not be a bad time to make them known. LIQUOR Many legislative and po litical leaders believe that the Dey House bill to call a referendum on two wet. and one bone-dry proposition nhourf be "entitled ah act to perpetu ate the Turlington law in North Car olina." They figure. " that the two propositions for . legalized liquor would split the wet vote and that the drys would stick together on proposal to retain present absolute prohibition.

G. (Cousin Willie) Clark, of Edge, combe, ' Wants it understood that he is not going to quit the race for Lieutenant Governor because his can didate, Senator Carl L, Bailey, of Washington County, was defeated for President Pro Tempore of the 1935 Senate. Cousin Willie isn't sure he will make the race in 1936 but he avow3 that if he does he will give Senator Paul Gradv, of Johnston, former Senator George McNaill, of Fayetteville, Senator Harriss New man, of New Hanover, of other poten tial or actual candidates "a run for their money." TOUGH BREAK Parole Commis sioner Edwin M. Gill spent much time preparing his brief for presen tations before the appropriations committees of the General Assembly. He made detailed studies of the best methods of parole investigation and supervision and then when the money spending committees met Commis sioner Gill was confined to his bed with an attack of the mumps. As a result his brief had to stand alone for his cause. Mr. Gill subscribesto the axiom that the best laid plans of mice and men often go astray. NOT BEHIND Lieutenant Gover nor A. H. Graham isn't letting any grass grow, under his feet in the race for the gubernatorial nomination on the Democratic ticket next year, in the opinion of many political wise acres around Raleigh. They opine that his committee appointments in the Senate and his conduct in presiding over that body are not hurting his chances of nomination even if Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, and Congressman R. L. Doughton are getting the pub licity breaks right now. DR. NOBLE Prior to convening of the General Assembly many news writers were predicting that the Leg islature would attempt to abolish the office of executive assistant revenue commissioner, held by Dr. M. C. S. Noble, Jr. The Legislature has been in session almost a month and no one has peeped for publication about abolishing Dr. Noble, but talk ot making the revenue commissioner elective has cropped out.

HIT OR MISS .The fouWing selection,"' entitled "Beauty Magic," is copied from' the haternational 1 Journal of ,. Religious Education: - 1 "Life has loveliness to Bell," Writes a modern poet, but in 'these days of depression it is well to remember also that life has loveliness to give away. Often it takes times" like these to make us sensitive to the abundance of beauty with which we are surround ed. When minds are troubled and fearful and the world is full of uncer tainties, we need the quiet and calm and stability which comes from a con sciousness of beauty beauty which need not, nay, which cannot be pur chased, but only lived with and en joyed The glory of a sunrise or the splen dor of a setting sun. A temple spire, an evening star, and a new moon hovering near. Sunlight through a baby's hair and "Children's faces looing up, Holding wonker like a cup." A regal lily in a florist window. Gulls sailing over a white-capped sea. A beautiful book in a friend's library. - A maiden harmoniously and beauti fully attired. "A snatch of song, a breath of pine, a poem lit with golden flame." A bit of inspiration from an ar tist's brush. A mother with a song on her lips setting her house in order. Snow-white curtains at a tenement window. The vocal and silent melody ol praise which a spring morning sings to its Maker. Indeed, those who have eyes to see declare: "No day has ever failed me quite: Before the grayest day is done I find some misty purple bloom, Or a late line of crimson sun. Each night I pause remembering Some gay, adventurous, lovely thing." And, for days when life seems un usually colorless, there are available at one's beck and call those mental pictures of remembered beauty Snow-capped mountains on a h(t, summer day. A quiet village street through an avenue of trees. A phantom ship, with its colored lights, slipping silently across a moon4it lake. A sacred spot along a wooded path. A memorable hour at a symphony concert. . Fear and doubt and worry cannot long remain where a love for beauty has a permanent dwelling place, for where beauty is, there is God, and where God is, harmony and love and peace abide. "Let the beauty of the Lord be upon ;us" that through its magic pow er we may hear His voice speaking refreshment and peace and joy to our souls. Consider the splendid work the boys basket ball team is doing just now. The few fans who attend the basket ball games are deploring the fact that the fine team is not receiving the sup port to which it is entitled. It is said that the girla are receiving better support. It has been pointed out that the boys' team is the best boys' team P. H. S. has had for a long time, the first winning team for some years, and that they should receive more , en couragement from the local people. Two names on the list of the unem ployables turned over to the County by the ERA as their responsibility on the first Monday in January were stricken off at the February meeting of the Board. These two won't need any more aid from anybody. They died last month. , Two others on this list will be taken to the CJbunty Home.
