THE STACKER IN BUSINESS

ment Of the Stacker during the

was the spirit of patriotism for

CHARITY AT HOME

There is nothing more beautl-
full in the lives Of men than char
ity, and there is no more appeal
ing call than one for charity to
those needy ones right here at
home. There are two appealing
cases Of charity today right at
our door, appealing to us to come
forth and help relieve the suffer
ing of two human beings, needy
and suffering through no fault
Of theirs. Our people have never
! been called upon in vain, and
with all our force we call upon
the christian people Of Scotland
Neck to come forward and pro
vide funds to relieve the suffer
ing and to hasten the cure Of
these two unfortunate women.
One Of these wmen is now in
a hospital and money is needed to
retain her there for several
months longer to affect a cure OF
| tuberculosis. She is widow
without funds and with no con-
nections which could help her,
and besides she has a four-year
old baby which must be taken
care Of.
The other is a young woman
in need Of surgical attention and
is equally as needy. We appeal
to our people to do their chart
table duty and help to alleviate
the suffering Of these two human
beings. We throw away enough
every day Of our lives to pay all
the expenses of these two cases
and we do not believe our people
will be found wanting.
Contributions have been made
| to one Of these cases, but much
is still needed. Scotland Neck
should have an associated chart
ties organization so that in cases
this kind funds from all sources
could be pooled and handled in
! telligentlv. An organization
could easily be affected with a
large contributing membership
which would be glad to be callej
upon to help out worthy Local
charities. We would like to see
this suggestion followed up.

Linney Sure
of Confirmation
(By Maxwell Germany

Raleigh, June 29.-The end Of the
fight against Frank Linney by certain
negro politicians who moved on Wash

Chairman for U. S. District Attorney,
has been reached Briefly the con-
clusion is stated from Washington az
follows:
Negro leaders from Boston, New
crumbled before the Senate Judiciary
Subcommittee, composed Of Senators
Ernst Of Kentucky, Cummins of Iowa
and Overman Of North Carolina. The
sub committee is expected to recon
mend unanimously for confirmation.
The negro protestants say Of Mr.
Linney that he "met our every con
tention' or surrendered to our
views.' Mr.. Linney and his frien Is
say he did nothing Of the sort; that
he merely informed the committee
that as district attorney he would en-
force the law without respect to race
or color, that he would prosecute those
who seek to disfranchise the negro o.
his constitutional right and that the
famous Linney campaign circular was
not disfranchisement document, but
one suggesting only that the s'negro
question: be eliminated in Southern
politics.
On these matters Mr.. Linney told
the committee his record and views
had been an open book all along. Yet
the negroes present concluded the hear
ing by saying they had "misunder-
stood'' Mr.. Linney and his attitude
else they would not have taken up
the time of the committee with their
protests.

REAL TAX REVISION,

The general popular enthusiasm for
the official proposals of naval reduc-
ton ought 10 be notice and warning
20 Congress. The people all over the
country hope to be relieved largely of
the crushing continuous burden OF
Federal taxation. Should the official
program be carried out substantially
and the Federal navy appropriations
be decreased for ten years at least by
a considerable amount, which some
statisticians are estimating, rather
prematurely at 100000, 900 a year
the supple politicians, always ready to
throw away the taxpayers money in
consideration of hoped-for votes. will
try TO spend the savings and billions
more on bonuses TO veterans. The
people won't stand it. The ardor with
which they welcome the prospect OF
lower Federal taxes would be changed
into an equal ardor of wrath against
men, who, without cause or reason
other than cless ote-catching. would
scatter vast sums not for the jus
relief of disabled veterans but, prin
cipally, as a gratuity and politica
bounty to millions of sturdy youn,
