Bertie Officials' 40 Years of Service

£ertie County has claimed to have

had one of the Best superior courtj

clerks in the State, and they must

have had, for they kept him in officef

forty years.

William L. Lyon retires from that joffice Monday of his own accord, re-'fusing to stand for reelection for an-

other term.

The Bertie County bar recently jpassed resolutions of thanks for the ]

There are not very many men who j

fine unselfish service he has given to |

the people of that good old county,

are willing to play the role of ser-{vant for 40 yearp as did Mr. Lyon.

Many of them will attempt to becomer

master, which has been one of man's

I failings. Those chosen to serve soon iv. unt to reverse; the order and become

j masters.

In Mr. Lyon, the people found \u25a0"ai

man willing to do his duty as founjiin the lafr, and by so doing he livedin the hearts and retained the respectand affection of his fellow men.

May Happen Nearer Home Next TimeThe murder of a man in Clayton

last week brings to mind again one

of the common things now happening

in our county. In this case there

seems to have been at least four men,

*ll apparently bootleggers from Ka-I

leigh and other towns, and out, 19-

year old girl from Durham. All had

been down in the New Bern section jand procured a load of liquor. Re-

turning, as they passed through Clay-'

ton, one of the party was killed. The

girl is now out on $5,000 bond, some L

of the men are being hold and the !

\Vake County coroner and a jary are

locking for others.

Most folks seem how bad

it was to kill a man. But too few j

seem to realiie the gravity of a bunchI

of bootleggers getting a speed car j

and taking a woman along?some

foolish flapper who has sneaked away

from her mother, or perhaps whose

mother has no better seine than to Ilet her go?and go miles away to!some moonshiner and load themselves

and their car with liquor, and carouse;ill night.

It, of course, means murder, as |well as practically every other crimein the category.

No man can stand unmoved at the ;

sight of a girl 19 years old setting

behind prison bars charged with mur-

der. She had left a good home, good

people, Iti the city of Durham, and

claims to have been standing at the

'bus station in Raleigh waitnig to go

home when the gp>od fellows came a-

long and kindly offered to take her

"Ham Bone" and Religion

in trying to throw a smoke screen

in the face ot the world to fool it

Folks naturally like plenty of latitude

1 and when the fellow jumps on the

siage and flops his wings and crows

long antf loud about how broad I am

! and how easy it is to go to heaven

j almost any way you choose, he is

| likely to be fooling himself as well as

| others.

"Ham Bone" may not be able to

change the philosophers and narrow

them down to the straight and narrow

way, but he performed his Christian

duty by pointing them to the way.

Ham Bone says that the doctors and

philosophers claim that church folks

are mighty narrow-minded. He jus- jtifies them by saying that folks have

a mighty narrow road to heaven.

He says there is no use to pay

much attention to those folks who are Jso broad-minded, because they don't |

i

even know the way to heaven. They |want a program wiiflT enough to per-1

i mit them to perform every sin be-

tween Babylon and Broadway and

, then justify themselves by saying,"jou are narrow and we are wide."

Five hundred people were there to

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS AGAIN

There is not much truth in the say-

ing that "opportunity knocks but

once." Continually opportunity is

knocking. It is not the number of

times that opportunity knocks tha T

| mean so much, but the leal with

i which we seize it. Many opportuni-

i ties probably have passed you unno-

I ticed, only to be picked up by some

j one else down the line who worked

hard towards the advantages which

| they offered.

You can not depend on luck or cir-

-1 cumstance or accident to put you on

easy street. It takes zeal and ini-

tiative and intelligence and aggres ;

siveness to win. Don't forget that
