the same rule Of thumb to the lOO,-
coo and some odd Horton votes.
So far. SO good: but it's in dividing
the vote Of other candidates mat inc
real differing begins.
Take MaXWcll'S 100000 (therc'll
be that many for the commissioners
when all the returns are in). Some
of the figurcrS split that 6O-4O for
Broughton. For those who do, the
whole thing ends right there because
they can't possibly reach any result
other than the Overwhelming sue
cess IF BrOughtOn. Others say ii will
be $3.50, and they, too, can lay down
their pencils then and there.
AT the other end some go as far
as to give Horton $4,000 and Brought
ton $4,000 OF the Maxwell ballots.
Those who do this make the second
race look mighty close, because they
thereby put Horton just Il bit ahead
Of BrOughton on the basis Of Brough-
ton plus $4,000 Maxwell against Hor-
ton plus $4,000 Maxwell.
The consensus appears to be that
Horton Will get the major share Of
the Maxwell vote, but no two agree
on the proportion in which it will
split.
Passing on TO the Gravely strength
Of $4,000 there is again wide con-
troversy. Some give Horton at least
un even break, and d very few a
slight advantage. Others claim thai
about tWo-thirds Of the Rocky Mount
mans support will plump fol
BrOughton.
And 50 il is with the $4,000 Coop
cd votes and the $4,000 for Paul
Grady. Nobody agrees with anybody
else on their distribution.
AS for the $500 for Arthur SIM
mons it seems to be the general feel
ing they were more on less ''acciden-

Raleigh, May 3l.-NeWs that State
Senator w. Erskine Smith will not
call for a runoff with Reg Harris in
the lieutenant governors race should
prove an aid, not setback, To the
gubelnatorial hopes Of Lieutenant
Governor Wilkins p. Horton, who is
bent on challenging j. Melville
Broughton to d second heat.
The Raleigh News and Observer Of
Thursday morning indicated in its
news columns that the Smith de-
cision was a blow to the Chatham
county gubernatorial candidate, but
all of the logic of the situation points
to its being exactly the opposite.
This is true because Of it had be-
come obvious that if Smith did ask
a runoff he was going To be more or
less "coupled'' with Horton, whether
either of them wanted it that way or
not. The Stanly senator was prcSi-

in captivity at the time. but he did
not cease giving his message To his
people. and warning them against
the dangers threatening them be-
cause Of their diSobcdiencc to the
Lords will. He lived at TcI-abib, ON
the canal Chebar.
The ISraeliteS were sure they were
Jehovah'S chosen people and that He
would save them no matter what they
did. but Ezekiel points out that like

"What is the NinC-tree more than

comes as Il reminder that we must

too. will be found wanting and only

Our lesson then takes us to the
New Testament first. to Matthew.
The apostle, too. tells us that 10 be

hypocrisy must be banisncd from Our

arc like salt that has lost It's taste,

Matthew. But if the salt have lost

Again he says: "YC (thc righteous)

on a hill cannot be hid" Many cities
in the ancient countries are built on
hills, and as many Of the houses in
such cities arc made Of d very white
limestone, they are visible from long
distances away.
So are people who are truly good.
Can't you recall people you have
known who were like white cities set

characters? Not that they were
boastIul Of their virtue, usually such
persons arc the most modest in the
world; but that their goodness could
not be hidden. Such are indeed the
