THIS WEEK'S BIBLE THOUGHT
TASTE AND SEE: 0 taste and
see the Lord is good; blessed is the
man that trusteth in him. Psalm
103:2-4.
WHAT ABOUT OUR COUNTY
POORT
What is to become of our poor old
people who have been dropped from
the ERA rolls and are leu witnout
sustenance?
On the- relief of Perauimans Coun
ty, classed as unemployables, there
wre formerly 43 Demons receiving
direct aid, ranging in sums of from
two to ten dollars per monin, trom
the Emergency Relief Adminstra-
tion.
Many of these old men and women
are absolutely without means and
unable to support themselves. They
cannot work. Some , of them - are
blind, some are mentally deficient,
tome suilenng irom oiner auucuons
nt old aire.
These poor old people will receive
from the county this month half the
.sum they nave previously naa, mean
ing that some will have only one dol
lar for the month. A few will re
ceive $1.50 per month. Only three
or. four will get as musn as $4.uu
fW:irin receive $5.00.
t -Thitfiiist'Of 43 does not anything
like cover the number or tnose wno
1 nntr Tor am. a numDer oi oiu men
and women were turned away on
Monday by the commissioners, who
told them to try to get along until
cold weather, when the county would
help them.
The County officers say that the
county is not able to furnish the aid.
If a special session of the Genera
AsspmViIv nf North Carolina should
be called to act upon social security
legislation and adequate old age pen
won lawn were nassed. the matter
would be taken care of, but unless
and until this does take place, we ae
citizens of Perquimans County are
responsible for our indigent old peo
ple. Most of these old men and women
have spent their lives in services for
others. All they ever had was a
bare existence, in most instances.
Shall we deny them even that when,
through no fault of their own but in
the natural course of events, they are
unable to pay their way?
HIT OR MISS
IS THERE A LAND
' By Charles Ballard '
(In The Southern Churchman)
Is there a land
(0 not too far away)
Where souls of dogs
Who adored us are!
And are there friends
To give them care
And plenty of love
Till we come there?
Is there a God
Who treasures them all
The same who knows
When sparrows fall?
O can the love
My dog gave me
Be lost in a blank
Eternity?
The lines quoted above will find an
echo in the heart of any one who hat;
loved and lost a dog. The writer
isn't the first to feel the sentiment
expressed.
Capt. Charlie Lutz, of White Hat,
who gave such loving care to his be
loved Collie, concerning which there,
' Has been a reference in this column
was in town this week but "Bounce"
wasn't . with him. She won't, romp
' any more, for "Bounce" is arone. She
died ; three weeks ago. "Bounce"
lived beyond the span usually allotted
to Collies, i This is probably attribut
able to a the intelligent care given her
of her 'master. ' r
They didn't pay their dog taxes.
TdaM HAS Ant tfi rinnnHr liAwaATl
five hundred and a thousand dollars
in these taxes which have not been
listed ' '
"When the county property, was list
ed for taxation there were approxi
mately a thousand dogs listed. - The
t -.x on male dogs is a dollar, and on
i sles it is two dollars. . ,"

rere vaccinated in the county
sand dogs. ; Every dog own
1 fty cents to get his dog vac
Y with the provision ' that the

as a credit on his dog; tax. J ' ,
The records kept by the veterna
rians who vaccinated the dogs gives
the names of the owners of all these
dogs which have not, been, listed for
taxation, The list is being prepared
to hand .to the Sheriff. It is the first
time that there has been an oppor
tunity to check on the number of dogs
in the county on which taxes were
not paid,', ? V" "f J"1. rV
Every dog owner who had his dog
vaccinated must now pay ! the -extra
fifty cents, or the extra dollar and a
half, as the case may be. 4 , J
A summer- without a thunder
storm. There has not been a single
thunder storm in Hertford during the
whole; summer; Only once several
weeks ago was there a really threat
ened storm and that never developed
only rumblings ,. of thunder ' being
heard in the distance.
The oldest residents of Hertford
do not recall a summer like this. It
has been the mildest summer that
most of us remember. Only for
few days at a time have we had any
hot weather. For the most part the
weather has been really mild, with
delightfully cool nights.
Whether or not we shall have be
lated summer weather it is impossi
ble to say. September is here. We
usually have some extremely hot
weather in September, but it usually
follows extreme heat in August. The
month of August has been very plea
sant.
If Harry Broughton sold hats in
stead of groceries one might suspect
him of trying to advertise his hats.
J. G. Roberson, the ' new druggist,
stenned ud to Mr. Broughton the
other morning, as he alighted from
his car in front of Broughton's store,
and said "Good morning, sir". ?I
don't believe I have had the pleasure
of behur introduced to you", went on
Mr. Roberson, "but I am your neigh
bor" and he proceeded to further In
troduce himself.
Mr. Broughton had seen the new
druggist across the street, had only
seen him without a hat on, nowever.
On this occasion Mr. Roberson had on
his hat.
"No, I have seen your father, but
I don't beHeve I have met you", an
swered Mr. Broughton, as he extend
ed his hand to the newcomer. With
that, Mr. Roberson removed his hat,
and as he did so Mr. Broughton rea
lized he was talking to the same man
he had seen.
Mr. Roberson got a big kick out of
being mistaken for his son, but Mr.
Broutrhton insists that there is a
whole lot of difference in Mr. Rober-
son's appearance when he takes his
hat off. He says he looks much
younger with a hat on.
I haven't seen Mr. Roberson yet
with a hat on. I understand, how
ever, that he is so impressd that he
is planning to stand outside as much
as possible in order to have an excuse
to wear his hat. ,.

". Selassie Sprhum A Surprise
.Addis Ababa, Ethiopia - The, Ethi
opian Emperor. Haile Selassie threw
a bombshell Into tne last' minutes of
the Italo-Ethiop;an ' situation. ' He
announced that - he had granted a
large oil concession in- Ethiopia - to
the African Development Exploration
Corporation, - reputedly backed by
both British and, American capital.
Britain immediately - protested that
the concession- violates the treaty of
1006. This protest is "seen as em
phatically weakening the diplomatic
positions of both England and Ethi
opia, since Britain has been Selassie's
strongest aid against Italy at Geneva.

Alabama's Front-Page Sedition
Dothan, Ala. For four years
Alabama has been a ready target for
radicals. The Scottsboro Trails, job
less Negro miners and mill workers,
and 160,000 destitute tenant farmers
provide plenty of unrest. ; Finally
Alabama's American Legion shoved a
drastic anti-sedition bill through the
Legislature. It authorized a' $1,000
fine and a year's imprisonment "& tor
anyone urging forceful overthrow of
the -government or possessing publi
cations urging such overthrow. While
the bill lay on Governor Grave's desk,
newspapers clamored for veto, in the
name of Freedom of the Press. When
he finally vetoed the bill, it was too
late it had automatically become
law. Julian Hall, small tofn editor
of the Dothan Daily Eagle (circula
tion 6,000), got mad. On the Eagle's
front page he advocated immediate
overthrow of Alabama's government
by violence. But no fine or sentence
fell upon him. After 28 days, Gov-,
ernor Graves scratched his signature
across the repeal of Alabama's Anti-Sedition
Law. vih
Flying Communist And Bishop j
Gallion, Ohio When an 80-year-
old bishop buys an alrplane-that's
news. But when he uses it to preach
atheism and communism that's big
news. WiHiam Montgomery Brown,
unfrocked Episcopal Bishop, k has
preached Communism for fifteen
years. Once Bishop of Arkansas, he
now thinks of. Jesus as a symbol, like
"The Stars and. Stripes on a pole,
Uncle Sam in the Capitol, and Sante
Claus in a sleigh." His new;, 225-horse-power,
4-passenger Waco, car
rying 70 gallons of gas and equipped
for blind flying will enable him to
get around faster with his slogan
"Banish Gods From the Skies and
Capitalists From the Earth!" .
