A HUMORIST ABROAD.

America is entitled to certain literary revenge on

OF equity which should prevail between nations, the
tide Of lecturers and humorists should not beat

reciprocity in the exchange Of wit Thus IL is with

How many jokes needed for comic
lecturer" Mr.. Leacock's answer sufficiently
serious: lone joke goes a long way a public
platform, and four five certainly enough
for any crowd if you bring them out at the right
time" Much depends of course, upon whether the
audience has the idea of joke the speaker.
One imagine some of Mr.. Leacocks sudden
turns and grave extravagances exciting wonder

style. But may be that the author OF

VERSE O. CHEER

WHY WORRY?
Sometimes we worry, fret and stew
An cuss until tn air rs blue,
But tell me, what good does it do
When little troubles rise
To worry US We'd better grin
An tack a smile above our chin
An leave it there till it grows in
Instid O. heavin' signs.
IT don't help none to rip and tear
ArOun' tn place an shout an swear;
That doesn't git US anywhere,
It only makes things worse.
We might as we'll jes' smile q bit
An git some humor out Of It;
A smile is of more benefit
Sech times than is a curse.
TIL more we fume aroun' an fret
An stew at troubles tibet beset
On ever side, tn more we get;
Il pays far more to smile.
An I hev fOun' in years gone by
II doesn't pay TO sob an sigh
Fer storm clouds only hide tn sky
From US a little while.
Then Wen tn sun comes out again
An storms air gone. ! notice then
It's brighter than it's ever been
An seems TO warm US more.
Jes' so with Life. Adversely
May take a whack at you or me
But when our worries wane we see
Things brighter than before.

WANTS TO KNOW

A prominent citizen of Wilson al
ter reading a statement in the pa
pers a few days ago where the reve-
nue. act permits one to make zoo gal
Ions of wine from fruit grown on his
own premises, reads today that the
revenue department says that this
applies to unfermented juice without
alcoholic content.
The gentleman after reading the
article wishes further information.
He wants to know how much time
will be allowed by the department
for the fermentation of the brew,
and whether the owner of the liquid
must drink the juice before it fer
ments at all. Will the revenue de-
partment kindly give the required
information?

opinion that the apparent leniency
C the courts with offenders of the
law, is the main reason why people
have so little disregard for the law,
and frequently attempt to take it in
their own hands.
He cited an instance which occur
red during the last court. A negro
who has been in a number of trou-
bles, with an admittedly bad reputa-
ton was tried for the larceny OF
goods from a merchant in a Wilson
county town, which being small is
without adequate police protection.
This negro was sent to the roads for
thirty days with permission to hire
cut.
He says that this same negro has
stolen previously an automobile and
ether things. and that thirty days is
not sufficient punishment to infict,
and that it will not prove deterrent
20 others who are inclined to do like
wise
We quite agree with the gentle
man. Until the courts rise to their
duty in the matter, and punish crime
to a greater degree, they cannot hope
TO have the respect that the people
should feel for them, as punishers Of
crime. and upholders of the law.
The Times advocates nothing more
or less than obedience to the law,
hut there is a duty to be fulfilled by
the courts as we'll as the people in
the application of the law.

VIRGINIA PAPERS STAND BY
THEIR DIRECTORS

To show how the Virginia papers
are standing by and encouraging
Bradley and the Virginia League di-
rectors in their highhanded methods
and decisions is indicated by the
Norfolk Virginian Pilot which says
that in the event that Wilson and
Rocky Mount claim the champion
ship, and endeavor to play it OFF be-
tween themselves, that it will be an
open def of the League, and the
two cities will be automatically sus-
pended and they may be debarred
from entering any league having the
protection of the National Associa-
t1on of Minor Baseball Leagues. The
paper says it is also certain that the
major Leagues will stand by the de-
cision of Judge Lands.
The paper anticipates that the
North Carolina towns will leave the
Virginia League in any event and
that the Virginia League will be
composed of six teams next season.

APPOINTMENT OF JUDGE ADAMS

Ever since the death of Associate
Justice Allen there j has been much
speculation as to whom the Cover
nor would appoint to fill his place.
The general concensus of opinion
was that Attorney General Manning
was the choice of the Governor, and
after him District Attorney Tom
Warren, on account of the fact, the
latter has served his party as chair
man of the Democratic State Execu-
tive committee and was desired by
the leaders.
There was opposition to the ap.
pointment of Mr.. Warren in certain
quarters and so the appointment OF
Hon. William J. Adams resulted.
Judge Adams has held court in the
majority Of the counties in the state
and brings with him a long expe.
rience from the Superior Court
bench. He is considered one Of the
best judges in the state and is amply
qualified by temperament, experience
and knowledge of the law for the
high position.

THOROUGHLY INCENSED

A number of business men of Will
the treatment accorded us by Brad.
ley and the Virginia League direc-
tors. We learn that several have
cancelled orders, and informed trav-
cling men from Richmond and Nor
folk that they are through trading
with these cities, since it seems that
the people of these towns are giving
support to the decisions to cheat Will
son out of the pennant she has sc
justly won.
1t seems that this is the only way
10 handle the Virginia cities. We
recall very clearly that they have
consistently opposed any equitable
basis for freight rates, that would
place North Carolina towns on an
equality with them. For years they
have enjoyed the lower rates from
the north and west to the Virginia
gateways, which are the Virginia
cities, and made the rates to North
Carolina towns merely local and
therefore higher, thus placing the
entire state at a disadvantage.
By reason OF these rates the large
jobbing houses have located in Nor
folk and Richmond, and have lived
on North Carolina and built their
cities at our expense. But for the
trade from North Carolina the grass
would be growing a great deal farth-
eT up in the cities of Norfolk and
Richmond than it is now doing, and
truck would be growing on their
principal bouIevards.
The Virginia cities have felt that
they were entitled to peculiar ad-
Vantages, and had the right to ex-
plot this state In fact it seems that
the Virginia cities feel that they own
North Carolina body and soul.
This idea seems to extend to base
ball. and now they line up as a man
with the Virginia papers boosting
the directors, and urging them on in
their unsportsmanlike methods.
Well may one feel that the direc-
torsS of the Virginia towns are re-
eeiving support and sympathy from
their people when every director
wires Bradley endorsing his under
hand methods in taking the games
away from the North Carolina teams,
when they know that each and every
enc of them are guilty of doing the
same thing

THE TARIFF ON FERTILIZER

The Daily News has the word of a
fertilizer manufacturer for it that
the tariff on potash as fixed in the
Fordney bill, which will be he basis
of a permanent" tariff enacted by
congress sometime between this and
the blooming Of the flowers in
spring. will increase the price of
fertilizers 50 or more per ton, ac-
Cording to formula. Among the
heavy handicaps that agriculture has
1abored under the past year is the
Inability to buy the quantity and
quality of fertilizers needed for the
crops. Farmers everywhere should
send letters of protest to their repre-
sentatives against such a tariff,
which becomes a direct tax upon ag-
riculture. But the average citizen
who is not a farmer stands to be
injured no less; this is tax that can
only result in the decreased produc-
'tiveness OF the soil and the increased
cost of food.-Greensboro Daily

The chorus from the Odd Fellows
Orphanage at Goldsboro gave a very

There were songs to please every

entertained. Mr.. and Mrs. Douglas
oi the Orphanage were in charge OF
the boys and girls.
Receipts from the concert togeth-
