AU orphanages of the state will- be dealt with similarly, and practically all of them are expected to take advantage of the arrange­ ment.\ An exchange states that the rea­ son the bare legged fad did not go over so big is that girls would rath­ er wear stockings than to wash tbeif legs. Hard Times In Other Days. “Last week I was in the city 0 Cincinnati. Upon inquiry I found that the shops there were only run­ ning about 40 per cent of their capacity. I am advised advised that in the great iron and steel centeis of Ohio the mills are running only about 50 per cent ol their capacity. There is not an industrial center in the state of Ohio or in western Pennsylvania or iu New York or Illinois that is not very seriously affected by non-employment. * * * I found that in the-city of Toledo already thete had been bread Ifne of 2,000 a day; later I found in reading another newspaper that that morning the authorities had to feed 1,200 men for breakfast and give them baskets of food to take home. I sent out a questionnaire * * * and word comes back from nearly every one of these industrial centers that 40 per cent of the working men of the country are out of employment.” Sounds as if it might have been written last week or last month by some cynical critic of “ Hoover pros perity,” doesn’t it? But it wasn't. It was written 10 years ago in January, 1921, by Senator Atke Pomerene, a distinguished Demo­ crat, former U. S. Senator and Lieuteuat Governor of Ohio, and a close friend of Woodrow Wilson, who wa| then President. It ought to be read by present' Democratswith a spirit of great humility, as a reminder that there were hard times and unemployment^ . . . . . during a Democratic administration, even as now. And it ought to be read by all of us with the encourag­ ing recollectiou that even as lhe country emerged from the morass of 1921, so it will come out from the depths of 1931 steadier strong­ er and more prosperous.—Ex. Oglesby Backs Watson. "The only way to stop drunks from operatiug automobiles upon the highways of Noith Carolina is to put the operators on the road's, and that s what I'm going to do. No, this isn’t Judge Tom Wat­ son, of the municipal court, talking. It is Judge John M. Oglesby, of the superior court, making an­ nouncement preliminary to giving stiffer sentences to several defend­ ants from,. Judge Watson’s court than the geuial' Tom had himself imposed. Judge Watson annouuceded early in July that the schedule of penal ties for driving while drunk would be considered intensified in August. Came August, and the number of defendants convicted " of driving while drunk was so large as to in­ dicate that Judge Watson wasn’t being taken at his word. But he hastened to verify his prediction by handing out several road sentences. Of course persons sentenced to the roads for driving while intoxi cated will take a chance in the higher courts. But this doesn’t do any good in Judge Oglesby's court If every superior couit iu Forsyth will back up Judge Watson, "there will be ground of hope that drunk en driving can be stamped out in" this community.—Winston Journal Do t’t Carry Money A- rouftd Tuesday morning a Forsyth county filling station proprietor was robbed of $i ,270. The same morn- two- robbers entered the home of a Burnsvillecitiaen and loo}; $1,600 in currency which he had sewed in 1 a pocket of his trousers. Incident­ ally the rouges took the pants also. The moral of these stories is that no person should carry large sums of money around with them or keep them iu their homes. Money should be kept in banks or be in­ vested in reasonable interests. Banks sometimes fail, but depo-. sitors seldom lose all ot their de­ posits. A woman svho had about $too in a bank that closed lament­ ed her misfortune long and loudly. It is quite possible that the liquida­ tion of the bank’s assets will re­ sult in the return of most of this woman’s $ioc5 to her. Not so long before this bank closed, this same woman was robbed of $30 while walking about towu. This loss was probably greater that that she will i sustain from the closing of the bank. Banks have been tried and tested as depositories of money and have been proven efficient and safe The habit of carrying around large sums of money on the. person is uusouud and should be abandoned. It is not necessary eveti to carry a large sum of money when one is travel­ ing. Travelers’ checqties cau be obtaiued at a small cost aud they obviate the danger of theft It is ot course true that a law- abiding citizen has the right to carry honest money on his person. But it is likewise unfortunately true that there are not a few vicious persons in this land 'of ours who would uoi. hesitate au instance to rob when the chance present itself. And most ot these scoundrels are desperate enough to use any de­ gree of violence -necessary. It is not a good policy "to carry money around on the person, or to keep it in the home, and if1 is not good business to do so. — Winston Jour­ nal. Forsyth KiIier Given Raleigh Tax Collector Freedom. Raleigh, Aug. 11.—Sam Christy, Forsvth county man who was con­ victed in 1916 with Ida Ball War­ ren for "Ihe slaving of her husband and sentenced to die in the electric chair, was paroled today after ser ving 15 years in state’s prison. His orginal sentence was com­ muted to life imprisonment. Later, his sentence was reduced to 30 years. The Warren woman also was sen fenced to die in the electric chair, tile first woman in North Carolina ever so sentenced, but she was granted a commutation and is now free, having been paroled by Gov ernor. Gardner last year. Tbe trial of Ida Ball Warrcu and Sain Christy provided a sensational trial for Forsyth county. Christy was charged with being the Warren woman’s paramour. The two were arrested late one night in Winston- Salem while riding in a wagon with a trunk iu which was Warren’s body. In recommending the parole ot Christy, Executive Counsel Tyre Taylor saiu the man had made an excellent prison record aud for the last six and one half years had been an honor grade prisoner. He was paroled under the super vision of the superintendent of pub­ lic welfare of Forsyth count A man is a success if he is happy and.is rendering some usual service in the world. The degree of his success can be measured only by a of how near his achievements have approached his capabilities. Aman capable of producing ten million in weaUhis is not a success is not a success if he produces but one mil lion. Some men are rare successes who merely make a living. The degree of success is always in direct relation-to the individual’s possibi­ lities," rather than teach some parti­ cular standard.—Es. Where Is The Saving? "State Highway Eugineer Leslie Ames, for Raleigh salesman who was picked up by Governor Gard ner aud landed in a $10,000 job stated the othenday the state high­ way commission had pared its pay roll for maintenance by around $1,000 a day. Wonder who be ex­ pects to believe that? Every day or so we see where new meu have been added. Czar Jeffress appoint­ ed 30 additional patrolemen in 'de­ fiance of the'Legislature which re­ fused three times to increase this patrol and we have been informed that it cost the state around $10,000 to train these new men, and about 100 that thev didn't give jobs to at Morehead city for a mouth. - Uniforms for these 30 additional patrolmen cost -$4,446, each man had to have a’ costly revovler, 30 new motorcycles were required, at a cost of perhaps $15 000 aud yet Ames says the costs been reduced.

Salem College Girls May Smoke. Winston Salem, Aug. 11—If women students smoke at home with the consent of their parents, they will be allowed to smoke at Salem college, Moraviau school for women here the board of trustees auuounced today. “Smoking is first a home .pro­ blem,” the announcement said. Students were promised a “square deal” provided they "bring the ma'ter into the open with their parent's.” The trustees will “not promote secret smoking, but do not torbit a place and time for smoking,” the announcement said, “ provided the student government aud student’s parents play fair with the college.” Details of conditions under which students may smoke will be decided at acampuscotincil at Camp Hanes, near here, September 7. G. 0. P. Convention. Washington, Augi 11.—Atlantic City today formally extenlied an invitation to the Republican na tional committee to select it as the site for 1932 convention. A eonrinitlee including Represen tative Bacharach, Governor Larson and Senator Morraw and Kean, presented the invitation to Senator Fess,.chairman of the national com mitlee. Short. Ed Hugh Lee. for the past IG yeas tax collector for the city of Raleigh, has confessed to a shortage of $30,- 621 in his accounts and it is said will p'ead guilty when arraigned and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Lee puts'up the lame expla­ nation that over a period of years he had accepted checks from some of his best friends for taxes and license fees but that he had credited the owners with having paid their taxes. Another lame excuse is. that Lee says that in order to protect his friends, some of whom are dead, he said he had destoyed the worthless checks What a great philanthrop­ ist. What a wonderful friend. Just where the Raleigh city gov. ernment has been all these 16 years, just where the city author was that Lee’s books were not audited, just where anybody in authority was all these 16 years while embezzling was going on, has not been explained — Ex. Bowie Takes Tte Plunge This is the season for minnows to be cavorting around in the senatorial pool.' The absence or big fish is not iceable. We suppose that Cam Morrison could be called a pretty good sized fish but he like= a whole lot of being a whale. A little minnow, about the size of a horney-head sometimes found in the branches of Caldwell county, named Grist, has jumped i.n the pool. Up at Asheville, the muchly-mar­ ried Bob Reyi olds, astride a wh skey barrell is a minnow of the mountain trout variety who is also in the pool And the latest minnow to hit the pooi is Tam Bowie, native of Louis­ iana, who never mentioned the wet and dry issues but flounders around m different and sundry questions neeting himself coming back 011 the first round.

Much fruit,is being carried to nearby rities by trucks, but to date only 521 carlot shipments liavt bean made from North Carolina as against 1,513 to date a year ago.

Editor Davie Record: — Please propound or just ask The Record family what tlo they know about the Calendar Revision question? Well, there is a lot to know, and our preachers and our leaders might tell us. Il has gone the rounds and will have its last hearings at Geneva in October. It is inter­ national and big business is behind it. Mr. George Eastman, of ko­ dak fame, is putting his millions into it There has been quesl-ion- aires passed around aud some are wise to us workings, bnt I fear that most of ns are too indifferent. It would tear God s division of time all to pieces. To have 13 months with 28 days to the month, would make it awkward for us who have any sacred regard for a day, whether we be Jew . or Gentile. God is a God of order and means what he says. It is some one’s business to get busy and turn the light on this matter. I believe it is a matter that concerns every conscientious servant of God, whether he respects Saturday the 7th day, or Sunday, the 1st day — it would affect each alike. I am hoping that right and truth may prevail. J. P. BURTON. Hickory, N. C. R. 1. The Record doesn’t see any ne­ cessity for changing the old order of things. A 13-month year with 28 days to the month, would cause a lot of coufnsiou and would mean that we^wonld have Io do much more book-keeping aud write many more checks, provided we had the money to pay our bills. The 12 months to a tear suits us mighty well and we are liopmg that the caleudar will remain unchanged. Syrup From Water­ melons. T. R Burton, of Ingolri,. Sampson county, has put out a new product made from watermelons, which he calls pure Sampson county water­ melon syrup. Burton states that the product is now new, that the product has been known in his fam­ ily, for years, but that he believes .it is a way to utilize a product grown extensively in North Carolina. The syrup his a- distinctive and pleating flavor, and is made in about the same way that sorghum syrup is made. The juice is extracted from the melon, and then evaporated until it beeoires syrup. Another difference between a cir­ cus and a revival meeting is that no one tries to crawl in under .the tent at the revival meeting, Want Bridge at Smoot Ferry. Salisbury Post, Aug. 4. The board of county coiumissron- siouers for Rowan had before it at "their meeting Monday a request from the Davie county board ask­ ing that Rowan )oin Davie iu petit­ ioning the state highway commiss­ ion for the erection of a bridge a- cross South river at Smoot’s ferry. The Rowan board heartily endors­ ed the move for a bridge at this point to further-link the two coun­ ties- The site is iu Scotch Irish township in the far western section of Rowan and lower Davie. This territory is very thickly settled aud the road leading across the river at this point is traveled by large num­ bers oj people. [Yes, let’s have the state to build this bridge. When the countv had to shell out for bridges neither Da­ vie nor Rowan would cousider this bridge, if our memory serves us right. Since the state no-.v pays the bills, let the bridge be built. Go to it, boys. Editor ] . No Outsiders Wanted. The Iredell ex sheriff who was given a fat job with the State High­ way Commission against who charges- were preferred has been gloriously vindicated by a' commit­ tee appointed from the same com­ mission of which be is to work for. We are not changing the former sheriff with any wrongdoing what­ soever. but in the 1928 election. And why is it when changes are made against a officer of this kind a non partisan committee, some oue that has no connection ^whatever with the department of which the accused is to work for, is not ap­ pointed to investigate the charges. If we were innocent it seems to us we would rather an outsider would give us a clean bill of health than some member of our own house­ hold.—Union Republican.

We waited nearly five weeks for rain and when it came it came just right. Corn and cotton crops in this immediate section were bad­ ly damaged by the dry weather. There is no doubt in the minds of the people but that Davie will go Republican next year, but the de­ mocrat who has become discouraged and is predicting a 2.500 Republi­ can majority next year has set his figures about 1,500 too high. You can fool some of-the people all the time, and all of the people some of the time hut you can’t fool all the people all the time, accord­ ing to A. Lincoln. A good many of our people were fooled last year, but it is going to be hard to fool them again next year. Davie county is like a ship with­ out a rudder. We have no coun­ ty demonstration agent, no courty welfare officer, no county home economic agent, no county nurse. We have a democratic county, with every office filled by a democrat, I even to the fellow who looks after the side ditches and the speeding automobiles. It is true that all the Al Smith democrats didn’t get a job. The only reason was that there were not enough jobs to go around, even after the legislature created a whole flock of new and worthless poli tical jobs. TVIost of the democrats who held jobs and voted against Al have been kicked out and Raskobi tes put In to fill their places. It is only about six weeks until the Davie County' Fair. Our peo pie are getting ready for the biggest and best fair ever held in Davie county.

Every citizen of the county should get busy and boost this fair. Picnic Results Magistrate T. I. Caudell had a full day Friday when 20 cases were dis­ posed of.

The staple is the lowest since 1913, Just so long as the cotton farmer produces a 15 or 16 million bale crop, just so long will the price re main under the cost of production. Supply and demand has much to do with the price of all products. An overproduction of gold would mean cheaper money just as an overpro duction of cotton and tobacco means lower prices for these goods. Our democratic friends who are mad about the consolidation of schools in Davie and the taking over of the roads by the state, should get busy and see that a new bunch of legislators go to Raleigh next year. A democratic legisla­ ture is responsible for the schools and roads being taken out of the hands of the local people and put in the hands oi a bunch of strang­ ers in Raleigh. Don’t ’ cuss the seven Republicans who were in the last legislature—cuss the 163 demo crats who were there: The Click Reunion. The annual Click reunion will be held at Jerusalem Baptist church next Sunday, Aug. 23rd. An in­ teresting program has been arrang­ ed for this occasion..

Mr. Booe Honors Child­ ren. Picnic week has come and gone with all its joys and blessings. The MocksviIIe folks have a hard time getting enough provisions to feed themselves and their friends in their homes on this occasions. For instance, last week practically every store in the town and some country stores were visited, trying to buy hams, chickens and butter. One pound of butter was finally se­ cured but not a chicken or ham was found for sale in all the stores visited. With such a scarcity of meat and butter it seems that the farmers who have such things' to sell should be ab e to command a better price for thtm.

A steatjv downpour ot rain for a night and day last week, together with local showers, broke the long drought in Davie and was the cause of great rejoicing on the part' of farmers. It . seems tbat counties surroundfng Davie have had rain sufficient during the past months, but except in scattered sections of this county.there has been a gener­ al drought since early in June and many field crops were too far gone for the rains last week to save. Tobacco "has suffered more than any'other crop as a rule and after a reduetiou of about 15 per cent, in the acreage the yield is predicted to be only about half normal which will cut the production to less than half a crop. Corn in some sections is badly damaged, aud garden and truck crops.have been literally burned up in some sections Cowpeas, soy beans, lespedeza and other legume oearing hay crops have suffered but may have a chance to make crops yet. Despite the dry weather a big crop of bottom corn will be harves­ ted this fall if freshets do not oc­ cur. In some townships the up­ land corn is gqod.

The crowds were slow in assembling on account of ihe threat of raiu but by noon ap­ proximately 1,200 automobiles were parked and in the afternoon two or three hundred more were counted making a total of 1,400 automo­ biles from twelve states as follows: Florida.

The lawn party given at nigh! was thought to have beeu one of the largest attended events of its kind in many years. A program of music, etc., was also giveu by the singing class at this time. Very few law violations were re­ ported during the day. Perhaps a dozen violations would take all. Traffic was directed by Lieutenants T. A. Early, of Winston Salem, and L. R. Fisher of Charlotte, Serg. 0 } R. Duncan and Patrol men W. M. Nail, S. L. Willard, R E Fisher, and C. H. Ingram. No accidents were reported and this was regarded as remarkable as many traffic accidents usually oc­ cur at the picnic. Itisnotknow ujust how much money was taken in by the Masons but it was a tidy sum and will be donated to the orphans home at Oxford. Professor J. D. Hodges aged 87 was present and perhaps the oldest there. He has missed.ouly one of the 53 annual events he 6aid and that was in the year 187S while he -was taking university post graduate work in Europe. The gate receipts amounted to $580, which means that 5,800 peo­ ple paid admission into the grounds. It is thought that about $ 1,300 will be turned over to the orphanage. McCulloh Reuniu?.

Mr. Griffith tells us that he and a party of friends did go fishitig iu the South Yadkin River on the date mentioned, and did catch a carp. Right here is where the trouble begins. The said carp weighed 1 1 pounds instead of 37 pounds. Just how Mr. Pea­ cock could change a little carp into a whale is past our comprehension.

A big reason for the wide popularity of the John Deere harrow is that its teeth don’t work loose or become lost. The exclusive John Deere tension lock holds each tooth firmly to the notched U-bar. The Universal is the ideal spike-tooth harrow for orchard or' vineyard work because the end rails prevent the tooth bars from catching on trees or vines. ■ A spring relief on each lever permits the harrow teeth to pass over roots, stones, or other obstructions without being damaged.

Greensboro seems in the way of running into a pretty scandal by the disclosure of the alleged practice of deputy sheriffs in league with magis­ trates of threatening and blackmail­ ing courting couples discovered in parked automobiles. In a small way the system is not unlike the opera- tionsofthe New York Vice Squad which recently created a sensation in the metropolis This" kind of persecution always will appear sporadically so long as it is necessary to give to such a body as the:average police force the power of arrest they never learn how to used unselfishly. But it can be fol­ lowed in its perfection of graft only when it is backed by the parallel cor­ ruption of the judicial office. So long as the state of North Ca­ rolina continues its policy of indis­ criminate appointment and election of magistrates, so long will this un­ holy aliance continue to flourish to the prostitution of every principle of justice.—Raleigh Times. 991 >2 Pound Melon Wilson, Aug. 11. — Archie G. Finch, Wilson farmer, I who won first place in's farm exhibit with a 98 pound watermelon, has picked another melon from his patch that weighs 99 1-2 pounds. Like all good community boost­ ers, Editor Shannon of the Com­ merce (Ga.) News tries to aid his home merchants by advocating a trade at home policy. Like many another good com­ munity byoster, Editor Shannon sometimes gets discouraged thru lack of appreciation on the part of those for whom he tries to boost. But let him tell it in his own con­ cise fashion: “Two weeks ago we penned the best editorial we knew how to write, doing our best to encourage the people of all this section to patronize home merchants—and bless your heart, honey, not a sin­ gle business man in Commerce has even said ‘think you.’ That goes to show what it goes to show.” Which leads the Tifton Gazette to remark that if Editor Shannon had urged folks to “buy it away from home” he would never have lived long enougn to hear the last of the holler that would have been raised. , Jobs seldom hunt the man. As a rule jobs hunt the man who is hunting for them and avoid the man who is sitting back waiting for them. THE GREJ TEST VALUE EVER BUILT INTO A F o rd Now Is The Time. When the business of a large firm falls,off, the advertising appro­ priation is increased. When the business of a small firm falls off too often the advertising' appropriation is, decreased or eliminated al­ together. It is a safe guess that the policy of the large firm is the correct one to follow. Advertising may not be able always in the present depres sion to turn losses into profits, but it is quite certain-that it will reduce the losses by partially building up the volume of business, North Carolina / „ Davie County {ln the Super,0-r Court C.

Attorney for Highway Commission, Raleigh, N. C Dear Mr. Ross: It is heing talked here that the town of Asheboro is to have a state patrolman stationed here perman­ ently, and I am writing you for a point of law. What the people of Asheboro would like to know is whether or not it "is compulsory for us to have a patrolman. In other words, if we don’t want him. do we have to have him anyway? Asheboro and Randolph county is getting along all right at the pres ent, and we fail to see the need of one of the “ tricicle riders." We have an excellent police force, and a loyal and hard-working sheriff and pose of deputies that should be able, at least they always have been able to take care of any situa tion that might arise. If they need any additional help, they can ask for and get it. As you yourself, and every otl er fair minded man iu tbe state of North Carolina knows, the state pa­ trol has never been worth one cent,, and all they have ever done is stir up trouble. In fact there is noth­ ing they can do. The state de­ partment of revenue has its men to check up on license tags, we have county and city officers to look after traffic infractions, and this leaves the state patrol out iu the cold with nothing to do but stir up ill feeling between themselves and a law abiding citizenship. I am on the road most of the time and have had ample opportu­ nity to observe the work of the highway patrol, and Uaveyet tailed to see or bear of a single construe live act they have done. In addi­ tion to the cost to the state iu money, and this you know is plen­ ty, I am couvinced these riders will cost the state not less than ten thousand Democratic votes is the next election. They provide the very finest campaign material for tlie Republicans, and the worst part of it is, the Democratic party can not make any defense of them, for tbe reason that we all kuow full well they are not worth anything, and can not show the voters where­ in the value of them lies. Please let me hear, from you as soon as possible telling us whether or not we have to have this . officer perpetuated upon us whether or no we want or need him. With kindest personal regards, I" am, Very truly yours, Z H. RUSH The Clouds Will Pass. “ The clouds will pass, as they have always passed’ ’ says the Wash­ ington Post. The Uuion was not made to perish, but to endure for­ ever. In its time of greatest peril its President was atrociously malig­ ned. The coward, the weakling, and the traitor found ample oppor tunit-y to criticize Lincoln. They did their best to hamper and des­ troy the work-of his hands and tbe purpose of his soul. By steadfast ness in the right, as God gave him to see the right, he persevered and saved the Union, Critics of Pre­ sident Hooverare numerous. Tens of thousands of them believe that they could conduct the Govern ment better than he is conducting it.’ They seem to rejoice-in the country’s difficulties, este e ui i n g them stumbling blocks in Hoover's path, and not realizing that when -they strike at him they aie striking at their own welfare. There can be but one President at a time. When national trouble.comes he is entitled to the support of all .citi­ zens while he wrestles with the Nation’s problems." GENTRY TELLS THEM. Iredell Superintendent' Uses Plain Language to School Committee. Supt. J. II. Gentry, of Iredell county, who was principal of the Advauceschool last year, called the school committeemen of Iredell to­ gether a few days ago and accord­ ing to the Statesville Daily, he did not mince words in telling them what he thought about the school question. We are sorry that North Carolina hasn’t more county super­ intendents like Prof. Gentry. The following report is copied from the Statesville Daily. Troutman, Aug. '13.—Supt. J. H. Gentry called the school com mitteemen of the county together vestefday for a round table confab It is judged that one half or possib Iy two thirds of all the committee­ men in-lbe county were In attend­ ance. This was done primarily to acquaint the committee with the workings of the new school legis lation and to post them on what they could do and what they could not. The entire board of'- educa tion was also present. After an introductory speech by Chairman Bunch, Superiutendent Gentry pro­ ceeded to tell the committee just what he knew about the receut leg­ islation. He explained iu the prem­ ises that what he kuew was little enough and that what he could find out just at this juncture was still less. Wheu ,State Superinten­ dent Allen is appealed to, -he is 11011 commital as well he should be. When the genial Leroy Martin is quizzed, for the fiist lime iu his life he also is. exceedingly caieful before venturing an opinion. Even Attorney General Deunis Brummitt almost shivers when an opinion is asked on the new legislation. Brummitt has been living iu an at­ mosphere pf perplexing school pro­ blems ever since parliament ad­ journed He lives and moves and sleeps and dreams in terms of knot­ ty, problems wherein he of all oth­ er men must censor his own utter­ ances. Superintendent Gentry explained that he-bad submitted our budget to the equalization board, but that the budget had been pared to the quick before, submission. Close figuring had been "done with .the end in view of saving to the tax payers every penny possible. But, he explained, on acknowledgement of budget to date he -bad so far only a hearing as to the fuel and that the equalization board had cut the appropriation twenty-five per cent. He intimated that He was expecting similat'cuts in all other channels. Hestated that it would doubtless be necessary from point of economy in fuel, lights and wa­ ter to declare a moratorium against all night entertainments including basketball. Moieover, he staled that the amount of funds available at this time would indicate that the bus boys would doubtless have to absorb a cut of twenty-five per cent. These bus boys are just farmer lads and are in no way organized They are'-not old enough to vote and there is no one,' to sponsor their cause. Tchey arise at 4 o’clock and sometimes have time to eat break­ fast before beginning the tu'ist cn a model T. By 8)30 they have ac­ complished the morning stunt. At 3:45 they water up, oil up and twist again. At sundown they are usually all . in. For this service tljey have been receiving ten dol­ lars or on unusually long routes fifteen. None but the very best lads are placed in charge of a bus. Their responsibility is great:'Clyde .Houston came dragging into our school last ySar, 65 .cfiildren. He was late one day out of 160. ’ Nore of these overloads of humanity were even jarred. This year, for a simi­ lar service, it seems we will offer him $11.25 per month. Governor Gardner recommended a cut in all salaries over fifty dollars of ten per cent. It is reasonably sure that the governor did not have it in mind to slash twenty five per cent from the stipend of the lowest paid em­ ployees in the service. Another feature discussed by Supt. Gentry was the employment of teachers. While the law reads just as it has for twenty-five years as to the employment the superin tendent explains that the law- has been inexcusably abused Hesavs it-is going to be necessaiv hence­ forth for the committeemen to gel together when elected and effect an organization by appointing one of the number as chairman, another as secretary, then when ready to elect teachers they must set a date and. advertise the fact at two pub­ lic places. On date set for the elec tion they must elect teachers re­ commended by the superintendent. He states further that he will sub- mi three candidates for each place and tha.t the committee can elect either of the threel In extenua­ tion of this ruling he says the com­ mittee quite often elects a vvoman from South Carolina about which he knows nothing, thus depriving some teacher he does know of a po sition. Mr. Gentry doesn’t claim to know’ all the good teachers in the county but be does know all the good ones around Statesville, so Ibis ruling automatically assures all the Iredell county teachers a- round Statesville a place to tiaeh. This of course applies to the - profi­ cient instructors but unfortunately there are in the county many medi ocre teachers and in the event of these mediocres not being able to wheedle a recommendation out of the superintendent, then it is just too bad and they are out of luck worse than before. Gentry’s big­ gest pronouncement was that abso Iutely no favoritism would be shown byJii in. Even though a teacher be born a gentile and becomes a Protestant and ever though her daddy is a Deuiociat and a heeler in the third ward, if the teacher hasn't Ihequalificatiou then 110 re commendation. He explained fur­ ther that all district and county lines bad now beeu erased and that no political nor religious affiliations would be considered. Ifa Jewess of pure life.and rare accomplish­ ment desired to be an instructor, she would be given a chance. If a devout Catholic woman wauled to labor in this. field, tbe state was guaranteeing her at. equal privi lege, and that in order to not show favoritism the profession was open to all American women of good moral character and with the re quired qualifications The school committeemen were all anxious to get their school hous es set in order and the teachers em­ ployed ready to begin operation, but Mr. Gentry enjoined upon all a watchful waiting. That’s all he could do. . While the school representatives didn’Lget ail the information they -desired, they got all that was" pos sible at this, time and this meeting was well worth while.—Statesville' Daily. Tbe Record hasn’t heard .what Prof, W. F. Robinson, Davie conn ty superintendent of schools, told the Davie school committeemeu. We .would be glad to print Supt. Robitfson’s, views in regard to em­ ploying local and foreign teacher , and whether be submits the. names of three candidates to the school committeemen for each position and lets the committee select their choice? The Record columns are open to him. . Davie School Muddle. Davie county’s so called school row is very much in tbe Thnelighi with the board of the Mocksville school and tl.e county board of ed ucation in an apparent deadlock Colonel Jacob Stewart, chairman ol theMocksville special charter school board is endeavoring to force th< board of education to-assn.ue two- thirds of the building debt of tin Mocksville school, which Peter \V. Hairston, chairman of the board 0 educatjon, savs is unfair, unjust and cannot be considered until tin Mocksville special chartered schoo' surrenders its franchise, throws it­ self into the county school svsten and becomes subject to the couutx board. Mocksville, it is said, wauts the county to assume two-lhirds of its school debt without surrendering its special charier. This, if is said, would make the county pay for the buildings used but still Ietcve direct and complete control of the school to the local board headed Dy Col. Stewart. It was emphasized iu the petition heard in an opeu meeting sotnc days ago that the county board had had taken over two-thirds of the building debt of all other buildings of the county but refused to treat the Mocksville scuool likewise. Op ponents of the measure contend this will not be giving some of the t iwnships a square deal, and advo­ cates of the proposition claim it will. . In an interview, Capt-1. P. Gra ham, a member oi the county board of education, said if Mocksville would surrender its charter auc throw the school in the county sys tern that he personally would re gard the petition in a much more favorable light, and Peter Hairs­ ton, chairman, said he would "feel justified in asking the board of commissioners to assume all the debt of the Mocksville schools and of other schools of the county it Mocksville would surrender its spe­ cial charter and give the count, and state boards complete conrrol of the school. In that case it would give the countv an oppor­ tunity to consolidate all schools of the county at convenient places, he said Kjve schools have been named by the state equalizaiiou board for con­ solidation with Mocksville, but if this is not made a part of thecouu- ty system they will not be absorbed this year, it is said County Super­ intendent Robinson is very anxious to have the matter settled but is not in a position to make a direct, statement regarding the affairs, he says, as he must remaiu neutral. Meanwhile, lhecounty mn-it wait uiitii tbe matter is dispoesd of be­ fore Professor Robinson knows just how many teachers he will be al lowed or how many schools will be consolidated.

Two ‘ former Brunswick county officials were arrested at South­ port, in connecting with the $17, 179 alleged shortage in county funds reported Tuesday by a firm of auditors after examining county records. A. T. McKeitban, former clerk of court-aud John- Jentette, former chairman of the board of county commissioners, delinquent lax col lector and auditor, were named in warrants sworn out by L H. Rey; Holds, of Phoenix, The former was charged with embezzlement "of $3,028 and the latter #5 600. The Pathfinder believes that tbe reason the flappers are wearing pa­ jamas out in public- is that, they don’t stay in bed long eiiough to weir them out as nighties. It Cannot Be Done. The descent of th-pricer-f wheat to he lowestpointin years forcefully illustrates the folly Ioslimulatepriees hrough the use of artificial means. It cannot be done in contravention if the law of supply and demand. The experience of Brazil, the vorld’s greatest coffee producing •ountry has shown this. The Brazi- ian government in order to stabilize he price of coffee bought vast quan- ities which was placed in storage ut the price continued to fall Now .frazil has just, dumped 5.000 bags nto the sea to relieve the market of he-depressing effect of this surplus tnd it is announced that 50 OOO bags tre soon to be burned. A bag con- ’.ains 132 pounds of ci ffee I hus' de- troyed in an unsuccesstul effort to itabilize the price can be easily seen. The Federal Farm Board has ac- tumulated 200 000.000 bushels of wheat and 1,380,000 bales of cotton, tdvancing money to the farmers for ame yet the price of wheat and cot­ on instead of curtailing their pro- Iuct seem to think that the resources if the government were unlimitable uid as a result harvested the biggest wheat crop in history and the cotton •rop promises to be another huge ■ffair. The farm board cannot do mything with, the wheat and cotton ton on hand without bringing furth­ er disaster to the market. The farm b ard urged" to buy wheat and cotton by the politicians who declared that the government would make a lot of money by the transaction and now when the board suggests selling part of its holdings to Germany immediately there is a <reat howl from Western politicians whore the wheat is grown and -outhern Democratic politicians vhere cotton is the chief staple. These same Souihern statesmen oiictivcti the idea of selling cotton -OGerniany but when it was setn hat this could be done, immediately Southern senatorial demagogues like Smith, of South Carolina, Harris and George, of Georgia, and Bailey, of North Carolina took an ascension and declared it would never do. They digged a pit and fell it and then be­ gan to yell lustily for some one to come and pull them out. The basic trouble with -wheat and cotton is over production an.) under consumption and it would have been setter that the farm board had ad­ dressed itself t<>. this phase of the matter and paid no attention to - the flannel mouthed politicians who in- -isted that the grovernment revive the old Bryan sub treasury scheme and go into the buying- of wheat and cotton on a\wholesaie scale. Artificial stimulation of prices, even if temporarily successful can 00 more be permanently beneficial than the same method of treatment would be in the handling of a case of appendicitis. A patient bolstered up. for the time being with stimulants, -with no attention paid to the eradi­ cation of the cause of the trouble, soon finds his condition in a worse state than when he firs started the treatment. The farm board experiment has been a gigantic failure; resulting in the dissipation of more than 500,000, • 000 in tax money with no other re­ turn than a further muddying of the agricultural waters.—Ex. A. M. Scales a Bankrupt A M Scales, prominent lawyer of Greensboro, and in times past men­ tioned as a likely candidate for Gov­ ernor on'the- Democratic ticket, has filed a petition in bankruptcy in the federal court at Greensboro. A schedule of assets and liabilities was not included among the documents filed in the case. . Scales was. reported to have been a real estate p’unger during the boom days and his Hamilton Lakes deve­ lopment near Greensboro is suppos­ ed to have been the cause of h»s fin­ ancial downfall and it is daid that other Greensboro business concerns also felt the weight of the* Scales plunging. He is reputed to be one of~fhe heaviest, insured men in the state. Do you take The Record ? t He D avie re c o rd , m o ck sv ille, n. c. august 26. ^ THE DAVIE RECORD. C. FRANK STROUD Editor.

Just for the fun of the thing The Record would like to have the names of all the Republican school teachers in Davie county. Well, it seems that North Caro­ lina has at least a few justices of the peace who are just pieces of justice. Most of them were ap­ pointed by the democrats or elected under the absentee ballot law. Only one month until the Davie County Fair. Save your big water­ melon pumpkin, fine corn, wheat, tobacco, etc., for exhibition. Don’t forget to talk fair to all your friends and neighbors for the next thiity days. A welfare officer by any other name may sound just as good, but it takes money to pay the bill. Every county in North Carolina should have a welfare offieer. The Record has always advocted such an officer for Davie, hut the De­ mocrats made their campaign slogan last fall “abolish the welfare office and save the taxpayers money.” Well, brethren, you know what happened. There are many ways to beat the devil around the stump. Campaign pledges are easily brok­ en, and many have been smashed since last November. The price of cotton is mighty low, ' and the cotton farmer, it seems, is going to be forced to quit growing cotton or land in the poorhouse. Tobacco prices seem to be a little better in Eastern Carolina than they were last year. If the farmers, throughout the south would refuse to plant an. acre in cotton or tobac co for just one year they could cammand a living price for these two staple crops in 1933. But they may grow even a bigger crop next year than this. J list what can be done about the matter we don’t know. The salvation of the farmer depends upon what the farmers do, and it is up to them to take action. The Salisbury and Rowau Repub­ licans have been having so/ne ex­ citement over who is to be post­ master at Salisbury. The fight is not yet over.-"' The Mocksville and Davie Republicans are going to have the same fight a little later on Up to this time nothing has beeu heard from the examinations which were held in Winston Salem nearly two months ago. It is though] that within the next week or two the names of the fhree eligibles will be made publ’c. Right then is when the fun begius. Three men.cannot get a job that requires only one man to fill. The Republi­ can'party in Davie is without a chairman, since the death of Mr W. E. Boyles last December. It is^ not known just when a new. chairman will be named, but ie-. gardless of the lack of a chairman, the postoffice fight will go forward. It is likely that the county execu­ tive committee, including all pre cinct committee, will be called to meet and discuss the fitness' of the different men who get Oni the ele- gible list. There will be no rapid- fire action by a few politicians. It might be well for the patrons of the local postoffice to express them­ selves as to who is the most capable man to serve the thousands of pat­ rons of this office. Too much poli­ tics has bad much to do with crip pling the schools and other public institutions The Record believes that to the victors belongs the spoils. - but it also believes that good bon est, upright Christian men and women should be*sefected to fill the. various Federal, state and county Vfices. Consolidation Will Not Be Made. The original plan of the state board of equalization to consolidate five Davie schools with the Mocks- ville special charter school have been materially changed and these schools have been re-established, Professor W.

A Davie county citizen was dis­ cussing with the writer a few days ago about the drop in prices of farm products. He recited a story about a tiller of the soil in his coun­ ty taking a few dozen eggs to a m a y be counted on the stand stead- store when they were selling at astly for the 18th amendment and the law enacted for the enforce­ ment of probioition. ••Men interested in public af- fairs," declared the bishop, “should take -notice that the church will never haul down its flag ” Bishop Mouzon was speaking on some present dav substitutes for evangelical religion to the leader­ ship school of the Methodist church at its assembly grounds. Bishop Mouzon said Christianity “ had not been having an easy time during the past few years.” He mentioned that recent church statis tics are discouraging in the matter of additions to the church on pro­ fession of faith. “ It must be admitted.” he said, “that the note we hear from the pulpit and the quality of instruc­ tion we are having in most of our schools is not in hartnonv with the interpretation of Christianity which has come to be known as evangeli­ cal Christianty. He calLd “ modern liberalism” “secularism” and the “gospel of reform” the three leading substi­ tutes for evangelical Christianty. "It must be admitted.” he con­ tinued “that with a largemajonty of people religion consists in a view that the world is able to satisfy all human needs if only one could get enough of the things of the world. This accounts for the made scram ble for pleasure, for power, f'.r jwealth so characteristic of recent •yeirs. j. “Calling attention to these things Idoes not mean we are discouraged jbr alarmed, only that we recoguize <we are in a period of adjustment iand in this fact there is'great eu- jeouragement. We are witnessing Jhe breaking of a dawn of a new land better era in the history of ^Christianity and the progress of Suman society.” O -----:-----------------I Hciw It Stacks Up. H The Georgia editor who notes that Sterchants of his town never stop to &ank him when he preaches “buy gt home,” but who yell long and lbu’dly when he says something that twenty cents a dozen. The owner of the hen fruit was dissatisfied with the price, saying in the future he would never sell eggs for twen ty cents, adding that he would eal all of ’em unless he could get a bet­ ter price. The merchant, after hearing his customer’s harrangue, proceeded to remind him that prices on near Iy everything was governed by sup ply and demand. “I will give you a pound of coffee for a dozen of your eggs,” continued the merch­ ant, who stated further that when eggs were bringing forty cents a dozen, the same coffee was retailing at forty cents a pound. — Tiie farmer was finally convinc ed that the merchant’s statement was correct, though he argued that he prefered high prices on what he sold and bought —Twin-City Sen­ tinel.

Back 75 yeaTS ago, the older peo­ ple related stories about a killing frost that visited North Caroliua in May .or June in the forties and filti- es of the last century. It was said that vegetation of all kind was -kil led, even the leaves on the trees be­ ing bi.tten so that they died. NowtheGreensboro News says that “back in the summer of 1782, or 149 years ago, an itinerant preacher, Jobe Scott, was traveling through North Carolina. It was during August, Jobe Scott says in his his journal that -he came to Guilford county.. Perhaps the weather was different then, but Brother Scott relates in his journal that on the 9th day of the 8th month,L there was a frost which killed some of the vegetables and some of the Indian corn.’ ” "This phenomenon of natuie happened before Greensboro was founded. “ Eiderly Guilford residents, when consulted as to a frost in ear­ ly August, replied that they had never heard of such a thing Per­ haps the weather did unusual tricks back in tbe year after the Battle of Guilford Courthouse, but -rSuch tricks never seems to happen in modern times. “Jobe Scott was a preacher, so of course his varacity cannot be doubt­ ed. Bntlocalweatherexpertssay that either mother nature played a trick on the writer, or that he was seeing things.”—Twin City Senti­ nel. Three Guesses.
