only junk merchandise. There
must be some bait.
4 4 y
Discount houses fight for brand
merchandise to use as bait.
But even so called cut price adj
vertising by these discount hous-
es is wide open to question.
A common advertising prac-
tice is the twas and is" method.
A fictitiously high price is listed
as the original selling price Of
the article to compare with the
discount house price.
And often so-called cut prices
are on cd, obsolete models, in
ferred to be current models.
There Is SILL further public
deIusion. If a chef cooked in the
same pot the carcass of a single
rabbit with that of a horse,
called it rabbit stew, he would
be questioned.
Yet discount houses constantly
refer to their stocks of nationally
advertised merchandise, when in
fact the preponderant part of
their stock is unknown. But by
Harding the stock with few
brand name items they throw
the cloak of responsibility over
entire STOCK.
Thus the public, attracted by
the bait of well known names, is
induced to buy other merchan-
disc, paying an exOrbitantly
high price for it.
This situation cannot continue.
Despite efforts of some indepen-
dent manufacturers, too many,
often combine subsidiaries, shut
their eyes to the situation.
However, independent retail
ers, wholesalers and manufac-
turers, working together, could
by full publicity and self polio
ing, solve the problem. And it
appears high time to adequately
publicize those manufacturers
and wholesalers who are seeking
to carry water on both shoulders.

When one visits Mrs. William
Jennette at her home in Lake
Landing he feels that this frail
white haired lady has a treasure
of wisdom and memories and Hyde
County lore. Mrs. Jennett or "Miss
Lutte, as she is often called, was
born in 1850 in pre-Civil War Hyde
County. When this July IA rolls
around Miss Lutte will be 104
years old.
Miss Lutte is living presently at
her old home in Lake Landing with
the family of her granddaughter,
Mrs. j. A. Waits. Mrs. Waits is one
of Miss Lutie's Is grandchildren
and her four children are only a
few of Miss Lutie's 81 great grand
children. Miss Lutte also has two
great great grandchildren.
Only two of Miss Lutie's own
five children are living, Jones
Mann Jennette of Lake Landing
and Lawrence Jennette of Eliza
beth City. Both of Miss Lutie's
daughters, Mrs. S. d. Mann OF
Middletown and Mrs. Otis FulforG
of Engelhard died several years
ago. Her third son, w. H. Jennette
of Elizabeth City, with whom she
lived before coming to Hyde
County this spring, died this year
With her soft white hair and
dressed in a style reminiscent OF
the past, wearing old-fashioned
black jewelry, Miss Lutte could be
taken for a woman 20 years her
junior.
Despite her great age and fail
ing sight and hearing Miss Lutte
is amazingly well and active. Far
from an invalid, she is up and
about almost every day. She climbs
stairs easily, refusing help and
goes to bed at night only under
protest.
Her great grandchildren are
Miss Lutie's greatest source OF
pleasure. Children weren't any
trouble in my day., she says, 1--WE
had nurses for them. But the chill
dren don't bother me-, she hastens
to add. "They seem to love me SC
much and are always doing little
things for me-"
AS she solictiously warns the
older children to "take care of the
baby" one can see not only Miss
Lutie's love for these youngsters
but lifetime of love and care fo1

FIRST TARPON OF SEASON
LANDED NEAR AVON

First tarpon of the 1854 sea-
son was landed from the surf
near Avon last week, the second
time tArpon had been landed
with rod and reel in the Cape
Hatteras area from the surf al
though occasionally the silver
kings" have been taken from
boats near Hatteras Inlet in the
Sounds or in nets.
Charles Williams, 5r., owner
operator of the Cape Hatteras
Hotel here at Avon landed the
tarpon, a 61-pounder. He had
gone to the surf with some of
the guests of the hotel to try his
luck with Spanish Mackerel and
blSefish which have been very
plentiful in the breakers for the
past several weeks. He was using
a Hopkins lure, chromium
squid-type designed bait with
gang-hooks when the tarpon
struck.
The big and rather rare fish
(insofar as anglers taking them
with rod and reel is concerned
along the North Carolina coast,)
made several leaps before finally
hitting the beach. The catch did
not excite Williams. AS a matter
of fact he did not bother to have
a picture made of the fish-ex-
cept for one shot by a polaroid
camera, a picture that could not
be reproduced for newspaper
publication. There were several
persons fishing in the area when
the catch was made.
Only other record of tarpon
being caught in the surf of Cape
Hatteras waters was about three
years ago. Raymond Basnett, of
Buxton caught several of the
fish while casting for channel
bass,

much to reduce juvenile delin-

opportunity for fellowship with,

Child training must start al

must start at the outset of the

Revolution
Lesson for April 25, 1854

VERY few people in America
can logically say they believe
that revolution by force is invari-
ably wrong. On the contrary, some
of the most distinguished and re-
spected Americans. both men and
women, are proud of the letters

ways wrong. then our country
started on the wrong track to
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1954-04-22

which only the American Revolu-
ton gave it. But that is another
story.) The Bible tells the story
of revolution which had the full
approval of prophet of God. In
fact, one of the prophets gave the
chief revolutionists the idea.
Preacher Meets Rebel
Prophets in ancient times were
something like preachers of these
times, with two important differ
ences. Prophet and preacher both
speak for God to men. But the
modern preacher has a church;
the prophets had no established
church. no chapel. They could not
so much as rent a school-room or
a theatre as preachers sometimes
have to do. The prophets had to
say their say wherever and when
ever they could There was no
regular eleven O'Clock service
The other difference was that while
the modern preacher likes to have
a large church full of people to
preach to. the prophet of olden
times did not always perhaps not
usually try for large crowds. but
rather picked their listeners very
carefully They would be content
with an audience Of one provided
the one man was the right man.
So the prophet Ahijah met a young
man named Jeroboam alone one

For the People

Revolution is not something for
every day or every generation. 1t
is a desperate last resort. But as
in the days of Ahijah, so since then
it is true that a government which
ceases TO be Of the people. for the
people and by the people, has for
feited its right to respect. The
reader of l Kings will discover a
gem of wisdom in what the old
counselors said to the young Reho-
beam: If you will be a servant
to this people today and serve
them then they will be your
servants forever. Rehoboam
turned his back on this wisdom.
looked on his royal power as a
means of tyranny: and so Jero-
boam's revolution had an easy
victory.
