four years and six days old. Until

us have to experience along life's
voyage. | accepted Fundamentally
the idea which had been taught me
from my earliest days that if l did
not do right the devil would get me,
and that God would be angry. l
frankly admit I was tormented a
great deal throughout my youth try
ing to keep God in good humor
and the devil at bay. But on the sixth
day after my twenty-fourth birthday
my bark was wrecked in the worst
storm l will ever see in this life. On
a small part of the wreckage of my
bark l have lived ever since on a
tempestuous sea. In my loneliness |
have done much thinking of religion
and especially of God. For layman,

and have read to great length about
all religions and am satisfied the

There we're no people, living or dead,
There was no earth, and no sky

There was only Myself-in you"

A North Carolina State alumnus
who sells fertilizer all over the South
recently told President Frank Ora
ham of the University of North Car
olina
alabama has the best agriculture
school in the South, Clemson in
South Carolina is next, and State is
at the very tail end of the profess
sion-and I hope that makes you so
mad you do something about it."
At least this conversation is re-
ported to have occurred; but whether
it did or not, it gives the commit
tee recently appointed to study the
agriculture school situation at State
something to think about.
Some time ago Robson lawyers
pumped officially for II. E. Stacy,
one OF their own, for Governor; but
the endorsement created a very
small ripple on the political pond,
and after a season wasn't thought
of.
Comes now Tom Bost, the Green's
boro News veteran correspondent.
with a story quoting Robesonian.
Robert c. Lawrence, as saving the
lawyers down that way really meant
what they said.
Which adds just little excitement
to an otherwise stagnant guberna-
torial situation.

HONOR OUR DEFENDERS

There is talk of war or actual war in
many sections of the world. The United
States navy is regarded as this peaceful
country's first line of defense. With a war
nation is moving to create suitable naval
defense in that section; with a thrust at
our democracy threatening in Europe, the
nation is moving to build up suitable de-
lenses in this hemisphere.
Part of this plan is the movement of
the Pacific fleet into the Atlantic for naval
maneuvers. The Panama Canal Zone, the
Gulf OF Mexico, the countries edging the
Caribbean and our neighbors in Central
and South America must be protected
against foreign invasion-which amounts
to invasion of this country. In the naval
scheme of defense Key West is playing
relatively minor role at present, but it is
important enough for the navy to send
patrol wing of seaplanes and two tenders
to this island-which commands the en-
trance to the Gulf.
Those seaplanes and naval vessels
are manned by some 800 navy officers,
aviation cadets and enlisted men. Their
stripes and uniform accoutrements reveal
the majority of them to be old and expert
enced navy personnel. They have been
welcomed by Key West and in turn have
honored Key West by displaying a brand
of conduct becoming to men of their rank
and service. They are as decent collec.
ton of men as ever came off naval vessels
putting into this port.
1t is fitting, therefore, that Mayor
Willard M. Albury and city council have
initiated plan to arrange a series of
dances for the entertainment of the navy
men. Council President Earl Adams and
Councilmen William Monsalvatge, Jim
Roberts and Will E. P. Roberts have been
selected as a committee to take charge of
the arrangements for these affairs. There
will be dances for officers and for enlisted
men and each event is sure to attract the
people of this hospitable city. The Citizen
hopes the entertainment furnished the
men of our first line of defense will be as
fine as the best this city has to offer.

FROM HICKORY GROVE

Each year the B.S.A., it gets
out a little diary which is a
dandy. The B.S.A., if you don't
already know, it is the Boy Scouts
of America.
This little diary, it will go in
your vest pocket, if you still have
vest, and the tax-collector has
not got it. And besides being a
diary, it has more in it than most
any book you can pick up. 1t
costs IS cents. Every old SPAWN
and his boy, should have one.
And Mama, it would not hurt her
either, to read it-also Sis.
This little diary, it is sort of
digest of the B.S.A. Manual. The
Manual, it is the worlds second
best seller-it comes next to the
Bible.
If you have made some good
resolutions for 1899, there is even
a place in the diary to write 'em
down! And in two weeks from
now, you can just squint into it,
and not have to wrack your head,
trying to remember what it was
you resolved to do or not to do.
So you see, you need the book,
right off the bat.

Pierre Lott, that colorful de-
pictor of far places, tells in his
book on Turkey, which he titled
"Disenchanted" of the embarrass-
ment of a Turkish bride when
she sat yelled before the towns
people.
1T was not so dreadful, said
the Turkish bride, ito face my
own Turkish sisters, because
these women must all undergo a
similar ordeal, but when the Eng
lish and American women came
in looking at me as though
were some relic of an age gone
by, 1 hid my face more deeply in
my wells and wept for shame"
Florida may well hide her face
among the wells of her bad mar
ried women laws, and weep for
shame when her northern visitors
regard her as a relic of a bygone
age.
1t is easy to imagine the char
grin felt by the little Turkish
woman. There she was, beauti-
fully educated, and in every way
the equal of any person in the
world, but still she was handed
by her father to an unseen bride
groom, without regard TO her
own feelings, exactly as her
great grandmother had been
handed from the slave block to
her master.
