Brief Session
Of Court Monday
Petit jurors summoned to dis-
trict court Monday morning, were
dismissed at 11 o’clock by District
Judge Ben W. Boyd, after attor-
neys in three cases set for hearing,
had submitted reasons justifying
continuances.
Case of Tennie G. Pettigrew vs.
Sam A. Pettigrew, was continued
for the term, to permit attorneys
to investigate new developments
arising since the original action
was filed.
Ilness of a material witness
caused continuance in the case of
G. L. Mitchell vs. Sim Smith.
Judge Boyd was expected tn is-
sue an order later hi the week in
the ease of Wade vs. Wade.
Indications were that Monday’s
action cleared the civil docket for
the term.

WAGES AND PRICES
WRITING IN the Wall Street Journal,
H E. S. Duffield observes that “wage-
fixing agencies of the government . . .
never reject a wage increase as inflation-
ary. Nor, in awarding wage increases,
do they distinguish wage rates which may
be substandard and those which may be
relatively opulent.” He then cites specific
cases where increases have been given to
very highly-paid working groups.
Just how the government is going to
stabilize prices on the one hand while
wages continue to go up on the other, is
a completely unanswered question. The
plain truth seems to be that prices cannot
be successfully frozen until wage rates

which Mias Camilla had invited
them. .“As a matter of fact, I’d
ike to pick up this room just as
it is and carry it off."
"Shucks!” exclaimed Miss Ca-
milla. "This stuff is party nigh as
old as Adam. It’s what I saved
from that old devil Sherman. I
reckon he’d have stolen it, too, or
burnt it, if my mother hadn’t
stood his men off with an ax.” -
"Is that what she did—really?”
said Fred, interested.
“It certainly is what she did,”
said Miss Camilla, her eyes flash-
ing. “She nearly chopped eff one
Yankee’s fingers — and was only
sorry she couldn’t chop off his
head. The idea, molesting a decent ,
woman—ordering her out of her
house, and threatening to burn it
over her head!”
They can’t afford to pay rent
for the furniture," Kathleen added.
"Summer theatres don’t make a
lot of money. But Im sure you’d
love to see a play. Wouldn’t you,
Miss Camilla?”
“Of course I would!” said Miss
Camilla. "I recollect seeing a
drama once with my dad. It was
full of shooting and swearing —
and he had a lot of trouble ex-
plaining to mother how he hap-
pened to take me. But dad and I
understood each other.”
She then took Fred and Kath-
leen on a tour of the house.
It was ffed to the attic with
fine old pieces, and Fred acted as
though he were in heaven.
When they were back in the
living room, Miss Camilla insisted
upon serving coffee and cake. It
was while they were sitting
around a beautiful old mahogany
drop-leaf table that she spoke to
Kathleen about marriage.
"Cat got your tongue?” Fred
asked.

we must save—not profits, not position,
not social security—but the right to work
for oneself in the light of freedom. Net
earnings may disappear entirely under the
stress of war, or under the stress of de-
structive political agitation. But that
loss is minor compared with the loss of
the rights of individuals to carry on in-
dividual enterprises. There can be no
freedom in this country without free en-
terprise. Outside of winning the war, the
biggest thing we have to fight to save is
our right to do business as free agents.
"I’d like to—yes,” said Kathleen.
Miss Camilla turned on Fred.
“Don’t you dare encourage her!”
she said.
‘Tm not going to,” Fred grin-
ned. “But there’s nothing you and
I can do about it.”
Kathleen was annoyed. She
pushed back her chair.

MARTINIQUE MUST BE SAFE
FOR AMERICA
r„HE question of Martinique, which has been in
J the winds ever since the outbreak of the war,
is now rapidly moving into the center of the
stage. Ignoring Vichy, the United States has sent
representatives directly to Admiral Georges Ro-
bert, the high commissioner whom we have rec-
ognized as “the ultimate governing authority,”
not only of the island, but of adjacent French pos-
sessions, including Guiana on the mainland of
South America.
