LIVELY VIRGINIA HUNTERS
DRIVE FOWL TO THIS STATE

Hunters i'm North Carolina may
profit by the unusual activity of
hunters in Virginia since. IL steady
hOmbardmpnt of fowl in the Back
Bay section of Princess Anne COun-
~ has been greeting the horde Of
ducks and geese there this yCaSUm.
and many SportSmcn have complain
ed recently that the almost steady
shooting is having il tendency to
drive the game away. The increase
in the volume of duck shooting.
coupled with the action of the salt
water in creeping over the sand
bulwarkS and destroying celery and
other feed for ducks is believed by
many to be leading rapidly to Il vir-
tual elimination of the Back Bay
section as in important rendezvous
for duck hunters.
Commissioners of Game ami In
land Fisheries Mcdonald Lee re-
Gently investigated the Back Bay
situation. and reported that the salt
wafer was killing some Of the grass
on which ducks feed. and was hay
ing some tendency to dcpOpulate
the Back Bay section. 20 far as
ducks and geese were concerned.
SpOrtSmen who have been shooting
there recently have declared that
the increase in the number of gun
ncrS is having more to do with driv-
ing away The ducks than is any
lack of food.

KEW. tlNlf Hlt NER
ALTHO trcading only the first few
miles of the broad highway of life,
there has come to this young stu
dent and philosopher measure of
wisdom and understanding that is
seldom revealed to the more thought
full of men before they have touch
ed the SUBMITS of their career. His
gifted pen has revealed to readers
of this newspaper a love for human
ity and an appeal for human broth
erhOOd, such as no one would eX-
pect to come from yOungster of
23 years. Most of his 23 years have
been spent amid all sorts of people
and surroundings. Following his
exodus from the seclusiCn of Cataw-
ba County where he grew up amid
nature and his books, he has travel
led over most of the country, dealing
with the problems of religion and
humanity, and even in the slums of
big cities like Chicago he worked
and became acquainted with the
most wretched and dcspairing Of
mortals who ever felt the need of a
helping hand. This then is he
whose writings have delighted
readers of this newspaper. Fer.
the past nine months, he has been
pastor of Salem Baptist Church in
this county. ZOeller Photo.

Clerk. Buying stocks and bonds
for speculative purposes is the most
respectable form of gambling ever
invented: it isn't cheap and vml-

"Then all we got to do is TO

MANY CHANCES
TO make GOOD
Col. Simmons sees a World of
Opportunities For Boys
Here at Home

who have gone away from
northeastern North Carolina
and made successes in other
fields. this newspaper runs
across many interesting men.
Among these men IS Col. Ben
iamin +. Simmons. |. ). y. re-
tired OF Washington, d. e..
who spent last Friday in Ellz-
abeth City after a visit to reIa-
tives in Hyde County.
Col. Simmons spent ten days at
Fairfield, and found it as inter
eSting aS when he left in the carly
ninpticS to take uh his studies ut
West Point. whore he was the only
boy from thi' district. and the first
in many Years to win Il Congress
Sional appointment. He graduated
from the West Point Military
Academy in 1S9J. taking Il conmiS-
sion in the Amy. and rose 10 the
rank of Colonel in short order. rciir-
ing in 1922. During the war. hr
held the temporary rank of hri-
%adicr general.
The Army no longer offers the OPP
purtumity for Il young fellow to
make Il name for himself. that II
used To offer. Colonel Simmons says,
but he is still welded t0 the idea
that military training is Il very
valuable asset to any yorn2Stcr and
proposes To have his own son enter
Wet Point. He iS convinced that
the Younger generation of today
stand us much in need of rigid
physical training and Stlict dis
ciplinc. such a> is offered only in
the military service.
Col. Simmons is one of many boys
who have made good away from
home. who has never 10, sight of
his birthplace. and the many advan-
ta"eS in eastern North Carolina.
He finds time for an annual visit
20 Hyde every Christmas. where he
spends Il few days with his 81 trrS.
Miss Matte simmons. and Mrs.
Robert Cartwright Of Fairfield. In
fact. he isn't convinced that any,
ptart. is more delightful place To-
live. and may come back decade

There i no need for Il young

This is the day when the country
