■ THE world we live in
underneath the picture of a sphere
may be found, "We Live in the World”
and yet no law of reasoning can let
us venture away from the fact that
we ffre in a world.
Every man comes into the world
with only, whatever worldly goods he
is lucky—or unlucky enough to have
in fils family, himself and an open
mind. From that day he is busy fill
ing htat mind. After he reaches a
certain stage he may unconsciously
cease in »hat process—come to a
stand still—may even go backwards.
At that time his world beomes com
plete—draws itself into a seemly im
penetratable shell leaving so much
That is good and worthwhile outside.
■How many men do you know whose
world consist of an office, a family
and home and an occasional movie
or baseball game? The world goes
on without their interest or help, the
conditions of their country changes
and they accept the consequences
either grumblingly or approvingly
whichever way these changes effect
she man’s own little world—and he
never ask why. What country can
go far if its citizens have become
Stagnate?
Many of the seniors of Henderson
High School will never have any
more schooling but will go out into
the world “on their own". However
inadequate our school may be in pre
paring its graduates for a financially
profitable site it is at least trying
to show them the way to a broader
understanding of the problems thev
shall have to face.
Use this knowledge and no mat
ter what you may do or he don’t cheat
yourself. There’s a whole universe
within your reach so don’t face off
a small slice and call it the world.
“Reach up and know the elements
but don t place your hopes there; dig
down—know the and how to
make it serve you but don*t bury your
plans there; open your eyes and mind
and see and understand everything,
tever abandon that search for truth
and knowledge”—Make “you:" world
the whole world. F. r
“CAROLINA”
“Carolina, Carolina, Heaven’s bless
ings attend her," and she needs God’s
blessings, that is, if she follows the
advice which was the theme of the
play “Carolina." The president and
Congress have appropriated thousands
literally millions for the improvement
of the South and the main principle
of this work is to teach crop variation
and, rotation. In the'picture "Caro
lina we see how the aristocracy of
the South was reestablished through
ihe one crop, tobacco, but we must
remember that that, was a play sup
posedly taken from real life hut never
applicable to the real life of today
Would not the play have been more
realistic arid authentic if the success
of the Carolinas had come through
the live at home movement?—for aft
er all it is our only hope for the re
incarnation of the past glories of the
South. Variation of crops, raising of
cotton, wheat, corn. hay. vegetables,
etc., and rotation of crops from one
year to another, is the scientific ap
proach to the solving of our present
problem. Our hope is in following the
advice and lead of President Roose
velt rather than that of the story book
play that could never be real or prac

RABBLINGS OF THE AGED
The Seniors are having rather a
beetle time of it. now. Graduation
la getting closer and closer and the
closer it gets the more business and
jams the Seniors get in. Right now
they are confronted by graduation
speeches, senior play and the Senior
Booklet.
As yet very few have started work
on their speeches. Better begin at
once as they have to be in by April
sixth. y 1 11
“The cast for the play was selected
.Thursday afternoon but it being with
held. Committees have also been ap
pointed for the various things that
have to be done.
The Senior Booklet has not been de
cided on. There was quite a pow-pow
after the meeting Wednesday after
noon about it. Did we have fun or
did we?
Well, good luck to you Seniors. Let
us hope that you come out on top
with fcmur graduation booklet and

A BIRDS EYE VIEW OF OUR
SILVER COVERED CITY
In spite of fallen wires, broken trees
and other damages our city has been
for the past fed days one large mass
of rare beauty. One of the most mag
nificent aspects to the human eye
was the sleet covered trees glistening
in the glowing sunlight. They were
bent as if whispering to each other
some sweet message of love. As the
sun brightened it seemed us though
th city was full of a thousand Christ
mas trees and even many colored
lights seemed visible. Flashing far
above, like great strings of glass,
were the ice covered wires, and the
streets and lawns below wre mirrors
smiling .up into the face of the sun.
The icicjs on roofs shrubs were as
many diamonds and it filled one with
happiness just to gaze on such a sight.
But for the greatest vision of luster
was the moonlight shining down
upon the silver earth, making danc
ing shadows against the white back
ground. Between the shadows twink
led the likeness of many stars having
come from the clear cold sky to join
in the celebration.
In looking upon such a picturesque
scene as this, it seems unreal, but to
anyone who has an eye for beauty it
should leave an impression never to
be foigotten. For when the snow is
gone, the ice melts, the streams be
gin to flow, and when trees and flow
eis bloom again we will be amazed
with wonder to think that such
changes in nature could he manifest

Congress Fights

over county as the result of Clark’s
appointment of J. Wilbur Dosher as
postmaster in Wilmington. Dosher,
who was a member of the House In
the 1931 General Assembly from New
Hanover county, was defeated in 1932
when he was running for re-election.
Reports are that, a great many peo
ple in New Hanover county, includ
ing some of the war veterans, are now
considerably peeved at Congressman
Clark for naming Dosher as postmas
ter.
In the third district, where both
Graham A. Barden, of New Bern, and
Luther Hamilton, of Morehead City,
are running against Congressman
Charles L. Abernethy, the incumbent,
reports are that Barden has been
unusually active for some time now
and is making considerable progress*
Luther Hamilton is reported as hav
ing been so busy working on his More
head City port project, necessitating
much time in Washington, that he
has not yet been able to do much
campaigning. But Hamilton’s friends
point out that there is plenty of time
between now and the June primary
and that when he does get his cam
paigning started both Abernethy and
Barden will know it. Hugh Dortch, of
Goldsboro, Wayne county, is also re
garded by some as a probable can
didate against Abernethy. Dortch was
a member of the 1931 Senate and is
well known throughout the district.
At the present time, however, re
ports from the third district indicate
that Barden seems to be making more
progress than any other candidate
that he is likely to caue Abernethy
more trouble than any one else, in
spite of Abernethy’s 12 years in Con
gress. The fact that Abernethy has
been sick most of this session and has
answered only two roll calls since it
convened this session, and the fact
that he is now the only congressman
that persists in keeping his wife on
his office payroll, are not helping his
cause any, those watching this con
test say.
Congressman John H. Kerr, up in
the second district, is also having
some opposition, with several can
didates or potential candidates out
gainst him. Current reports are that
Dr. B. M. Nicholson, of Enfield, Hali
fax county; Fred button, of Kinston,
and A. O. Dickens, of Wilson county
county, may run against Kerr, while
some think that State Senator W. G.
(Cousin Willie) Clark, of Tarboro,
may get into the race. Os these, it
is generally believed that Dr. Nichol
son has been the most active so far
and that he is already carrying on an
active campaign. It. is agreed, how
ever, tliat Congressman Kerr still
has a strong following throughout the
district and will be a difficult man
to beat, especially if there are several
candidates against him in the pri
mary. Those opposed to Kerr main
tain that he gave little or no assis
tance in Washington in obtaining
parity prices for tobacco, while his
friends maintain that he has done
more than any one else for the to
bacco farmers and that he has done
more than any other Congressmen for
the tobacco, cotton, and peanut grow
ers.

loan appropriation.
In its search for a “leak" on the
air mail contract cancellations, the
Senate Banking Committee learned
that J. P. Morgan and Company sold
4,500 shares of United Aircraft stock
shortly before 'the Federal action.
In his speech, the President told in
dustry it could best help itself by
raising wages and reducing work
hours, thus providing consistent pur
chasing power. He advocated:
Wider popular allegiance to the
blue eagle in buying; strict anti-trust
law enforcement to retain competition
and bar monopoly; employers’ bar
gaining, permanent economic and so
cial reorganization along lines already
started.
CHORUS REHEARSAL

It is expected that the music director

Farmers Waking Up To
Burden of Tobacco Tax

farmer paying a big share of it. It
was pointed out by one of the speak
ers that within the last 30 days the
government had authorized the ex
penditure of $200,000,000 for the re
habilitation of the beef cattle indus
try.—or half the amount collected
from tobacco—while not a cent of
Federal tax is collected from beef
cattle.
The meeting was called by the
North Carolina Tobacco Growers Ad
visory Committee, of which Claude T.
Hall, of Woodsdale, is chairman, for
a general round table discussion of
these factors, and to which all of the
principal tobacco manufacturers in
the State were invited. S. Clay Wil
liams, president of the R. J. Reynolds
Tobacco Co. represented his company
and A. B. and H. P. Taylor, of Tay
lor Brothers, Inc., were also present.
The other large manufacturers in the
State were not represented.
The three main factors discussed
were the* types of tobacco likely to
be in largest demand during the 1934-

Federal taxation would affect tobacco
prices for both farmer and manufac
turer, and the usefulness of Govern

point of growers and manufacturers.
Most iof the discussion, however,
centered about the question of taxa
tion arid most of the farmers who ex
pressed themselves were decidedly of
the opiniori that the Government was
imposing too much tax on tobacco
and discriminating against a small
class of farmers, also that if the tax
were reduced or abolished, consump
tion would at once increase so that
the farmers would get much more for
their tobacco because of the increased
demand. When Dr. J. Y. Joyner who
was presiding, asked President Wil
liams of The Reynolds Tobacco Com
pany the point blank questions as to
who paid the tax on tobacco, the
farmer, the manufacturer or the corn
sumer, Williams replied:
“The consumer pays it directly, duv
the farmer indirectly, while the manu
facturer pays virtually none of it.
For the manufacturer passes the tax
along to the consumer in the final
selling price of the product. But tnu
tax does limit the amount sold, so
that if the taxes were reduced so thar
the price to the consumer could be
reduced, there would be a heavier de
mand for tobacco which would mean
higher prices for the tobacco farmer.
There is no doubt that the high Fed
eral taxes depress the prices paid the
farmers by reducing the volume of
sales.”
Most of the farmers present agreed
that if additional demand for tobacco
could be created, especially the better
grades used in cigarettes, that the
government would noi halve to worry
about acreage reduction campaigns
but that the law of supply and de
mand would solve the problem. One
of those who spoke spiritedly against
the present high tax on tobacco was
O. S. Falkner, of Henderson, Vance
county, who said that the government
was being unfair and showing dis
crimination against the tobacco far
mers by putting sue ha heavy tax—
sl.oß per pound on cigarette tobacco
—on tobacco and that this tax should
be modified.
The meeting indicated that the lion
and the lamb could lie oown together
and cooperate for the common good
of both.
Farmers To Fight
Higher Fertilizer
(Continued from Page One.)
that the companies are using this code
as the basis or the excuse for the
radical price increase.
Authorities say that fertilizer prices
have sky-rocketed 40 to 60 percent
above the 1932 levels and that the
charges on materials for homemixed
fertilizers have jumped even higher.
Already many farmers on the east
ern shore of Virginia, where much
fertilizer is customarily used in the
production of truck crops, have asked
their congressmen to institute an In
vestigation of “these outlandish
prices.”
Fertilizer companies have admitted
that the consumption of the products
in North Carolina is expected to dim
inish by 10 to 15 percent in 1934. Other
authorities opine the decrease will be
much more pronounced.
Some hope of increased sales has
been voiced in view of the fact that
during the past seven months fer
tilizer sales were twice as large as
those for the same period a year ago.
But it is also claimed that the in
crease was due to farmers buying
early to avoid paying the higher prices
anticipated later.
Allegations have been made that the
fertilizer companies are trying to cap
italize on the benefit payments to the
farmery from the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration. Farmers get
ting the payments have more cash
now to buy fertilizer and also have
better credit, based on future AAa
payments for crop reductions.
Although exact figures on the 1933
prices are not available at this time,
it has been estimated that the in
creased in fertilizer costs in 1934 may
wipe out a large portion of the in
creased farm income secured through
the crop adjustment program.' The
exact amount will depend on how
much is bought.
If the farmers hold off long enough,
it was predicted, prices may come
down to “mroe reasonable figures.’
On the other hand, it may be that the
companies can maintain their prices
until farmers are forced to buy or do
without altogether.
The present scale of prices has been
determined by the code of fair com
petition for the fertilizer industry. Bm
rumblings of complaint are sounding
lauder and louder, and it is reported
that efforts will be made to have.the
prices in the code adjusted to a more
equitable level.
Many farmers planned to mix their
own fertilizer from phosphate, nitrate
of soda, sulphate of ammonia, and
other ingerdients. But when they
learned that the prices of ingredients
had gone up even more sharply than
had the ready-mixed fertilizers, some
of them gave up this expedient as no:
being a solution for their trouble.

"The purpose of the reorganization

organization must be permanent, for
all the rest of our lives, in that never
again will we permit the-social con

Sharp Decline In
Number Prisoners
At Convict Camp
A sharp decline in the nutr\ve r of
priosners at the State Highway pri
son camp on the eastern outskirts of
this city was shown during the month
of February, according to the official
report made to the Raleigh office or
the .State Highway Commission March
1, and a copy of which was filed to
day with the Vance Board of County
Commissioners.
At the first of the month there
were 65 prisoners at the camp, J. H.
Gupton, supervisor, reported. Fourteen
were received during the month, mak
ing a total of 79. There were 23 dis
charges, one paroled, one escaped and
one transferred to another camp, mak
ing a total of 26 who left. That left
a total of 53 at the end of the month.
With the March term of criminal
court opening today and lasting thro,
ugh the week, it was expected that
the population of the prison camp
would be considerable increased.
