ANIMALS OR MEN?
Shall we of Wayne county pay more at
tention to cur animal than we do tc cur men?
That is a question which many aie asking
themselves.
Several weeks ago :t seemed as if ‘his coun
ty might inaugurate a program for fighting so
cial diseases—the veneral diseases. But what
has become of that plan?
Is money ten scarce? Or shah we. as ir. the
past, consider improper to coma out into the
epor. ar.d r.ght these diseases?
Some twenty-c-da years ago ticks infested
the herds of oat,.e i:: Lus county. Through the
cooperation or county, mate ar.d Federal gov
ernments ticks were eradicated.
A fow years later a fight was waged cr. tub
erculosis in cattle, ar.a that disease was ban
ished from the county.
In recent months a fight has been in pro
gress on Bangs Disease in cattle. We are told
tha tthis disease is about a thing of the pas*, in
the dairy herds cf the county.
We have paid much attention to wiping out
cholera among the hogs of the county—a dis
ease which used to take hogs by the hundreds
and by the thousands.
When it comes to spending money, putting
on campaign, to halt diseases among our cat
tle and hogs we have asurr.ea our responsibil
ity and have eradicated many of the most de
structive diseases; but when it comes to spend
ing some money to eradicate diseases which
are annually taking such heavy tolls among
the men ar.d women cf our oounry arid of the
state and nation, we are slow' ot do it.
Do we think more oi our men or our ani
mals?
Judging from our actions or.e might well
draw the conclusions that -we think more of the
animals.
Do we?
WILL IT BE BOB VS. BOB?
Speculation as to whether Congressman
Robert L. Daughter. might after all decide to
be a candidate for the senate against Senator
Robert R. Reynolds in the primary next year
was renewed the other day by a letter made
public by Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel
Hill Weekly.
In reply to a letter from Mr. Graves request
ing information as to his purpose relative to
entering the senatorial campaign next year.
Representative Doughtor. did not commit him
self but wrote 'ha: he would, however, "at or
near the close of the present session of Con
gress, advise my friends and the people of
North Carolina what office, If any, I will seek
in the next Democratic primary."
Two years ago Mr. Doughton, who occupies
a position of trust and great influence in the
house, declined, after a conference with the
President, to change the course of history by
entering the Democratic primary campaign for
governor. Senator "Our Bob" Reynolds will be
a hard man to beat, but it is generally conced
ed that Congressman Doughton could come
ail around doing that same, and it will be a
staio-rockino fight if Mr. Doughton decides that
it :s worth whilo :o surrender his place at the
top in the house for 'ho chance 1o become a
freshman senator.

A NATIONAL BEFERENDUM
Thy controversy in V/ashmqlon over the
proposal to change the compos.tion cf trie Su
preme Cr.cr*. end ’he violeiv split inside of 'he
dominant party on this end other issues, point
to the desirability of discovering some more
effective method of testin'? public opinion on
measures of vital importance to the national
welfare than the present political se* up pro
vides
Any scheme for a national referendum
would have to bo very carefully studied. 11
should not provide or "snap" Judgments un
der 'he emotional stTatri of the moment; but if
some way could be worked out whereby great
issues, fcy a vote of, perhaps, two-third3 of
both house3 of Congress, would be submitted
to the voters of the nation standing alone on
them merits and not complicated by the parti
san boat of a general eloction, it might be an
effective and useful bulwark o {democracy.
Of course, no such plan could be incorpor- 1
cted into our scheme of things without a con j
stitutionai amendment to authorize it. But it ts
at leap* something to think about. Many
sober rn'rdv J observers have lately pointed l
out a growing tendency to ha.nty legislation
ooncernmg ’ *• menu of which r.o time has
boor given for the formation of a sound public
opinion.
fin.- matters are sc agent that they cannot

Ramblin' 'Round
>c.
i
I hove planned to rambl? out ta ’.he hone
of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen. Howell three miles
south cf Goldsboro, near Danie.s Chapel
church, Friday of this week to ctter.d the sec
end annual Lewis Family Reunion. Hundreds
are expocto-d to be present for tins program.
Even on a rainy day last year several hundred
were present.
Rev. I. 3. Roberts, president cf the family or
ganization, has made preparations for the
day and the meeting will be held rain or
shine: so all who are connected with the Lew
ises by b.ood or marriage are asked to pack
their baskets and meet tho rest of us over
there Friday. Come as early as you like—
someone will be there.
Last week I made ore of the most delightful
trips I have made in a long time. Upon invita- j
lion of Mr. Lionel Weil, cf the firm, of H. Weill
and Brothers, 1 attended their annua! Farm
Day and Field Meet, as I do every year. I dc
lieve this was tho best of any I have attended
- it was more extensive.
We met—some 200 of us—at the Murphy
farm, two or throe miles south of the city, where
these attending were able to observe some for
filiation and seed tests which err© conducted
there by Weil in. cooperation with the State
Extension Service of State College.
From the Murphy Farm we drove to Weil's
stock farm, on the old Seven Springs highway.,
some 5 or 6 miles south of Goldsboro, and j
there saw the pretty Hereford cattle and;
Hampshire hogs which are being bred there.
From the stock farm we drove on over to the
Woods Grove section and then on ever below
Hood Swamp school and into the edge of
Greene county, then back by Saulston and
from there over to Woil's Peacock Farm, west
of Pikevilie, where the tour ol inspection
closed.
I'll say this. I've never soon finer cotton and j
tobacco crops than those on the farms we vis
ited, especially those of the eastern section of
the county and these in Greene county.
The studying of fertilizers is a kind of hobby
with Mr. Lionel Weil and lie knows them if
one is to ;udgo by the crops or, which the fer
tilizers aie used.
One man. who knows Mr. Weil mighty well,
said Friday: "Lionel knows fertilizers. He
doesn't study them from the standpoint of the
fertilizer manetcrcturer or from the standpoint
of the fertilizer salesman. He studies them horn
the standpoint of the scientist. He is a real
sciemist.''
I'm convinced that ho is right. Ho will sell j
more fertilizers because of bus studies; but ho
will sell more because he is a scientist and is
making fertilizers which deserve to be sold
mors widely.
The reason there is such close cooperation
between h.m and State College Is that both
of them are approaching the question of fer
tilizers and seeds from 1he same angle—that
of the scientist.
I'm happy at the tine work which is being
done by Mr. Well, and his other associates, on
the farms which they own.
Of course one of the high spots of this meet
ing was the barbecue supper served at the
Peacock Farm. All the trimmings and plenty
watermelons and cigars were included In the
menu.
On Sunday my brother, Milford, or Dick,
as he is known, and his family spent the day
with us.
After surround.ng what little victuals we
could find on the table, Dick and I slipped
away from the "wimmen folks" and drove |
out to look at some of the crops.
We first drove out to Mr and Mrs. Howell's
-mentioned abovo ar.d took Mrs. Allen to
the hospital to see her son and daughter who:
were hurt in an accident last week. They seem j
to fce improving. 1
From the hospital we drove out through;
Green!ear. through Bo'fast ar.d then on out by t
Salem Church to 1 J. Mozir go's home, where'
we stopped and talked with him for several
minutes.
From there wo drove on out by Mr. Oscar!
Howell's homo, turning westward there and
gc.ivg by ’he old Shepard home place, by Mr.
William Hcwell's farm, and on out through
the Deans community, north of Pearson's
Bridge on across by Rosewood school and I
back into Goldsboro by the State Hospital, i
Crops are good tn the sections through
which we passed, but they were not as good
as were the Weil crops we mentioned above.
Much of the land was not as good; but the
crops were good even at that.
I always like to go through the Rosewood
pommunity. Back when I was just a young
ster. and a little later, I recall that this com
aunity was looked upon as one of the most
progressive of the county, and still i3.
Wo did r.ot go through the Hospital farm, but
some day I plan to go out there cmci get Roy
Jurser to go over the farm with me. He has
promised to do that, ar.d I certainly shall bo
jlad to go over the turm and through all the
Holdings to nee just what is being done at this
/peat Institution which is Ioculed In our midst
I don't know all the officials out there, but 1f
lo know teat !' would bo hard to find finer i
nen than Dr I.inviile, trie superintendent, and!
