portunity to see and hear two
budding geniuses in the persons

Splendidly prepared and beau

SUCCESS

There are two kinds of sue
cess-a selfish and an unselfish
one. When one uses other peo-
pie to further his own aims re
gardless of the sacrifice of those
who aid him-no matter haw
great the success, it is selfish. In
fact, one may rise to the very
top of the ladder, gain the
worlds applause and be crowned
king or queen of the May, and
yet, there will be a bitter taste
in the mouth, no satisfaction or
approval from the conscience
for he will know that he is
after all a Successful Failure. !"

BEAUTY HINTS
BEAUTY OF FORM AND
FIGURE

For a woman to have perfect
beauty of form her muscles must
be firm. Any sag or shake de
tracts, giving the impression of
age. Therefore, exercise the
legs, arms and neck muscles to
strengthen them, then massage
with good skin food, followed
by an astringent. A vigorous
patting or spanking of the
muscles by a masseuse, or if ycu
can't afford one-a friend-or
lacking a friend, spank yourself,
thus causing the blood to circu-
late freely. It is in this way
movie stars preserve and keep
their perfect figures. Do. this
and you too will have a per-
fectly preserved and youthful;
form far beyond middle age.

so because it was too warm in

knew darned well Jethro was
looking for trouble. He is every
time he goes on a hinge"
Mr.. Styron said that Anderson
Midget had come to him in Jeth-
ro's behalf and asked him to call
off the case, which he refused to
do, he said, because 81 thought
it was something the public need
ed, so that man could go out and
get a beer without being punched
around"
Final Please
Attorney McCown pointed out
in his final plea for the defense
that only Styron himself had stat
ed positively that he had not
struck Midgettfrst. He said that
the defense viewed the affair, ga
scuffle not a fight" as a case in
which the defendant had simply
defended himself. Mr.. Styron, Nc
Gown declared, had started some
thing he couldn't finish, and he
asked the court to dismiss the
case on the ground that, eff any
assault was committed, it was
committed, by the prosecuting
witness, not the defendant"
Mr.. Kellogg summed up the
case for the state by saying that
the question boiled down to whom
the court was to believe. He point
ed out that while there was nom
agreement about whether Styron
had struck Midget, everyone was
agreed that the defendant had
knocked Styron down and that his
blow ended whatever fight there
had been. He pointed out that ev-
en- the defendant acknowledged
that Styron had entered the place
in a peaceable manner and had
even spoken civilly to Midget as
he crossed the dance floor to the
bar. Furthermore, the solicitor
concluded, all agreed that Midget
had come over to Styron and
struck up the conversation from
which the trouble started. "Jeth-
70 came up to Lloyd and that's
when the trouble started" he
said.
The case constituted the whole
business of the court on Monday,
except for one submission report
ed by Clerk of Court C. S. Meek
ins-Charles Aubrey Almond,
Rocky Mount, submitted to al
lowing a minor to operate vehi-
Gle on the highway, and paid
fine of SIS and costs of court.

Because of the home paper,
many people never forget their

thereby inspired to return and to

when they might otherwise have
stayed away, and lost the ties that
bound them to home.
The home paper can give a lot
