A year ago this nation was pray­ ing God to end the drought and give it abundant crops. Today, - _ywith surplus crops in prospect, the — Federal Farm Board proposes that one-third of the cotton be plowed under, while a farm organization dem ands that surplus w heat be burned. W hat's the answer? Possibly it may be found in the provident custom sof the ancients in productive years. T he story of the seven " fa t” years and the seven ‘ lean” years may contain a moral that today is being overlooked Food storage may, perhaps, be car­ ried farther than it is beiug carried today. Should it be urged that storage cost will increase the price of food, it can truelly be said that dear food is preferable to no food at all. Even dear food m ay be cheaper than the feeding .of the starving by local or federal governm ent agen­ cies, a sam ple of w hich we had in 1930. Unless some such course is fol­ lowed it may hapnen th at prayeis m ay cot be answered in the future. If food should be destroyed as urged, we m ight learn that wilful waste brings woeful want.

Old man H auser, 82 years old, Davie county citizen, now has the distinction of being the oldest m ar in the state who has Teqeiverf the death sentence. It does seen' that 82 years experience should have taught the old -man ’.essons- tbat would have saved him from such an end. W e have head iT said that age does not always bring wisdom, and in his case it evident­ ly did not. T he trial in Davie county at which M rH auserw aschargedw itl m urdeiing his son in-law broughi out the fact that he had hated the younger man for years. H ate is one of the most destructive of tht emotions. It is a condition of mind that has the nature of chronic an ger. It has for ages been known to be one of the worst forms ol thought. As long ago as the agt the Apostles one of them wrote, "W hosoever hatetli is a m urderer.” H ate springs lroui a sense of in­ jury usually. Unrequited love i.- suppose to easily develop into hate, and the man who gets into that state of mind can haibor ill will to a degree tbat he hates is one of the most unhappy individuals im agin­ able. H ate is one ot the strongest words in our language used to ex press the bad emotions. W e hate a snake, we hate disgusting con­ duct A nd we hate annoying forms of evil. And old m an H auser ad m itted tbat he bad long bated bis son-in law. Knowing this m uch, no one should be surprised that the old man used his gun to satisfy bis hatred. T he death penalty was made tor just such people. O ur fathers long ago came to think tbat men in some states of mind are not fit to live and m ust die because they are as they are And this gives us the opportu­ nity to say again that people nevtr m ake a greater m istake than when two families undertake to live in the same home. It is a saying ' a m ong the people that a very small house will m ake a home for one family, but there never has been a house large enough for two fami lies. A ny man is treading 0 1 1 thin ice when m arries a woman and goes to live with her parents T he exper­ iences of the ages is that it would be far better to build a one room log cabin and eat and sleep in the same room rather than occupy the big house with the old folks. It was trying to live in the house with the irritable contentious old mail that caused the death of a son in-law and the dark shadow of the death chair to fall over old man H auser in his last hours Ot course it is rare that auy such dire effects come from two families trying to live together but it is a risky busi­ ness. Young Wife Too Frisky Frank B. McNeill, 65 -year old millionaire m ayor of Paris, Tenn., has about decided tbat December and M iy cannot agree when it comes to m arital bliss and has indicated to friends that he'm ay divorce.his pret­ ty 16-year old bride whom he mar ried a year ago. The mayor says he discovered that his child wife was stepping out with younger men and that she had been taking them riding in one of three expensive automobiles he bought her and that she was too “ frisky” other- wise. Chautauquas are getting under way in those towns w here the re­ quisite num ber of business men could be found to sign the guaran tees. Now if the business men can find some one to sign a few guar­ antees for them , everything pro­ mises to be lovely. ^ Home Advertising Brought Him Wife.

More than thirty replies came to hiui. T he address was to a Record box and Mr H efner picked out the one that he considered most likeh suited to him as a life mate. The woman was Mrs Clara Hol ler, at the eastern edge of the Highland section. T he two got ’.cquainted and Mr. H efner courted ■Mrs. Holler for about a year. Just a few days ago the two de cided that they could make no mis take by casting their Iottogether— so they were m arried by the Rev. C. K. W ise of Good Hope church. The happy couple now resides in Air. H efner's old hdine in Long view. T he bride has five grown child­ ren— four daughter and one sin — all residents of this vicinity T he groom has six children, five daughters and one son—all resi­ dents of Kansas and the southw est.

What’s The Use? Many young men, and young women also, meeting with failure sometimes are ready to give up the race and announce to the world that they are down and out W hat’s the use, many of them cry, nothing good ever comes my way and all Uie suc­ cess comes to the other fellow We heard a voung woman say the other day that far the past_year she had been the * goat” of her family all her life, that she had worked hard while her sisters lolled around the house, went to shows, wore just as good clothes and managed somehow to make the grade. W hat's the use she cried? A young man ran for the' Legisla­ ture of Illinois ar.d was badly swamped. He next entered business, failed and spent 17 -Kgars of his life pay the debts of a worthless partner. - He fell in love with a beautiful woman and became engaged to her. She died.

There having been "no reason able doubt” behind which Old Mau H auser, of Mocksville, arraigned tor m urder of bis soti-iu law, and with prem editation in evidence, ht- was convicted and sentenced to bc- executed. T he public was cors'd- ably surprised at the haste develo] - ed in transferring the S2-year old man trom the Mocksvilie 1 il to the "death row ” in the State peniten­ tiary Hiid evidentially somebody had been m aking strong protest a- bout the m atter, for he has been sent back to the old home and jail­ ed where his wife can visit him more conveniently than at Raleigh. In v ie w o fth e p re tty good propo­ sition that the death sentence is not going to be inflicted on hitn in No vember, the lim e fixed for his exe cution— for the case has been ap pealed and if appeal fails, there is a reasonable prospect for pardon— there bad been 110 need for the pre cipitant consignm ent of the old fel­ low to death row. We believe the general public will experience a feeling.of relief th a t' his lot has been more endurable.— Charlotte Observer. Roosters Are Like That Monroe Enquirer. I read in an agricultural journal that iteosts a poultryman $2 a year to keep a rooster. That is news to me, for when I was a boy the old rooster who dominated the barnyard fl ick would scratch up a big fat worm, call his harem to gether to the feast—and gobble up the tipbit himself. I’ve yet to see a rooster let an old hen have a bite he had provided after inviting her to dinner. W e never figured the cost of keeping him since he grubbed for himself. As a kid o n the farm I never could resist the tem ptation to throw stones at our old roosters. One-day-I shied a stone about the size of a m arble at our big dominecker. Crack, it took him on the-coco, and he fell over as if shot with a gun. I ran to the house, sayfng, "P a. our old domi­ necker rooster fell oyer and I be lieve he is dead.” The old gentlem an, at one tim e had been a boy himself, anti came back with “ Son. I’m not surprised; if you’d been a better m arkm an Old Dominecker would not have surviv. ed this long. But, happily. Old Dominecker had not died, only badly stunned and for a day or two tottered around like a dignified drunk man. A com m unity is wealthy in pro­ portion to its healthy people. Fraser Makes Piea Foi Relief of Southern Farmers. A plan to protect thousands o! land owners in the South against loss if their farm s through foreclosuie fO lInw ingafaiIurennthpir part ti neet obligation is being formulated bv W A. Fraser. President of tin Voodmen of Ihe World Life Insui- ince Association, with headquarters it Cmaha, Nebraska, the Iaruvst in­ stitution of its kind in the world. Mr Fraser became intensely inter ■sted in the plight of the Southen farm er last year following receipt 0/ 1Iundreds of letters from members if his Association begirine him ti end his influence as well as the in­ fluence of the Wo-jdmen of thi World in then- behalf. Touring the South last spring ht jond ucted a special investigation of vmditions. He institured severa1 forms of relief for the farm ers wlv found themselves unable to mee' ’heir obligations and called upon the nembership of his organization t< -xtend assistance where possible. Mr Fraser advocated diversifica cion, which in many instances he was •old was impossible especially wiil •enters or with m ortgaged farm s Renters clairr.ed that the owners oi the land demanded that every foot be given to cotton; they were no1 -■ven allowed land enough 10 plain vegetables or fruits for their owi consumption. Owners of m ortgages took much the same position. They wanted cotton. So the farm er whr has his farm m ortgaged or the rent ar a helpless position and a move ment. m ust be started and carriVd t( 1 successful term ination wherein farm ers m ust diversify T heG overnm entitseIf is respor- Sible1:'in a great measure, for mort- raufs that are now burdening thi iverage Southern farm er. Thepoli ticians conceived ideas of loaning farmers money at a low rate of in­ terest Senators, Congressmen ano State Legislators advocated tht f a r m e r borrowing G ivernment ■noney because it was cheap Many farm ers fallowed their advice. Wner- it really was not neca=sary to have the money, they w ire ndvistd to oorrow. Therefore, farm ers are not entirely to blame for the unfnrtu -iate predicam ent they no* find themselves in. In a letter w ritten to Commission­ er Paul Bestor, of the Farm Loai- Board, Mr. Fraser wrote: "M-my of the letters I have re ceiled have dw elt on the fact that our Government was wiilin? to de clare a moration for Germany, sug gesting that if w? could be so mag nanimous to our late enemv, respon­ sible for many of the ills that th< country is now suffering, surely out country coujd help its own people many who fought to preserve our home institutions and the liberty of our people ” In Mr. Fraser’s judgm ent, oui Government should coma to the as sistance of lheae thousands of farm ers who are unable to m eet their ob­ ligations and who now face the loss- of their homes and their farms- through no fault of theirs. The Fe deral Land Banks should take im mediate steps so that leniency w/ll be extended to all farm ers who actu­ ally own the land that is now en­ cumbered and who are working that land and depending on the crop pro­ duced for their, own as well as their families’ livelihood. A m oratorium should be declared for a t least one year. The Federal Land Bank Sys tem. which was established as a per­ m anent service, will not be injured by such a step The Federal Land Bank Svste.ii, which was established as a perm anent service, will not be injured by such a step. The Feder­ al Land Banks can withstand- the. m oratorium put into' operation in hehalf of farm ers who can prove their present inability to m eet obli-' gations. The Federal Land Banks will be no richer bv foreclosure on farm s and the eviction of thousands of families, but on 'th e other hand they-will be richer by exercising len­ iency because it is no fault of the farm er that the present conditions Plea For Petters.

The Democratic regim e in Davie aiolished the office of county w el­ fare agent in order to get rid of Mrs Eennen whose only crime was that she was a Republican She made * fine o ilier and received a letter of c immendation from the state wel­ fare agent, a ' partisan Democrat. The duties of the Davie welfare a- gent were placed 011 the shoulders of the county superintend of educa­ tion but these duties did not last long for the past week the Demo­ cratic board of commisuo.i^rs elect e l an assistant superintendent- of schools, doubtless a com petent wom­ an, but an outsider, and it is said she will also assist the superintend* ent in the welfare work. In other words one office abolished in order to get rid of a Republican and as soon as decency would perm it re­ establish the i fliee under another name and put a D^mocrat{in.

IN ADVANCE - S SO Most politicians generally pro­ mise more than they cau deliver. In the future the voice of the people instead of the voice of the politician is going to be heard Some of our people seem to have forgotteu that there is going to be a prim ary in Davie county next June T he horse that pulls the plow is the horse that should not only eat the fodder but also a generous help icg of corn. There are ordinary liars, extra­ ordinary liars and common every­ day liars, and there are a few liars who can’t be classified. It is said t Iiat there is not a school in Fulton township left since the Davie seat of governm ent has been moved to Raleigh. Davie has one court house, one jail and a few dem ocratic “office­ holders left E verything else has been moved to Raleigh Some folks, it seems, would sa­ crifice their chances for heaven if they could be sure of a political job —even though it be of small calibre.

T he first shall be last and the last shall be first, sometimes ap. plies to those politicians who are scram bling for a place at the pie counter. Once in a while some little two- by-nothing politician drops into The Record office and tries to tell us how we should run this newspaper. B ut do we— we should say not. Nearly all the stores, mills and factories in Mocksville are owned by Mocksville citizens. T here are but two chain stores which are owned by out-of the county people. From the large num ber of farm exhibits seen at the Davie fair last week, the farm ers in this neck of the woods are going to have plenty to eat this w inter even if they don’t have any money to rattle J p their pockets. In answer to the W inston Salem Journal, will say that we have beatd it said that there are three dem ocratic postm asters in Davie county. W ill the Journal give us the names of three state highway, patrolm en who vote the Republican ticket? W e will aw ait an answer. Every citizen of Davie county should be proud of the fine cattle, poultry, farm and field products that were grown in the county. W’hen it comes to fine cattle, hogs, sheep, poultry and fine grain, there is not another county in this sec­ tion th at can take the prize from old Davie. M ore than fifty people were kill­ ed and over 500 injured in "auto m obile w reck in N orth Carolina during the m onth of A ugust. It seems th at the more state highw ay patrolm en, the more folks killed and injured. No such num ber were ever killed in the same length of tim e before the state created 68 offices for deserving democrats. \ Jt JY e trus$ that all of our farm er friends and tow n triends also who are due us on subscription will call or send us their renewal as early as possible W e have been very pati ent with our subcribets, but the landlorrd, the coal dealer, the groceryman and everybody else im aginable are w anting .us to settle, w ith them and thev are getting im -j patient.

T he town of Mocksville is fortu­ nate in having w ithin its borders such a public spirited citizen as Thomas W7. Rich. Some time ago Mr. Rich purchased from Mrs. Ida G. Nail about 40 acres of wood and pasture land just west of Rose ceme­ tery. Since purchasing this land Mr. Rich has had a beautiful drive­ way built through this tract of land H e has converted m uch of the land into a park and has had a num ber of buildings erected there­ on. T h ereis a fine spring in a shady nook, a weiner roaster has been built near the spring and a nice house built to shelter picnic parties in case of rain. T here is a small pond for the children to use in wading and a num ber of rustic bridges span the brook that flows through the park. A large table has been placed near the spring for the benefit of picnicers There is plenty of shade and the park is one of the prettiest spots in this section. Mr. Rich had the spring water analyzed recently and it was pro nounced pure. T he Record is glad to extend to Mr. Rich the thanks of all the people for providing this lovely park, which we feel sure will give untold pleasure to the citizen ship. Mr. Rich tells us that he in­ tends m aking a num ber of improve­ m ents in the park from time to time. T hedrivew ay to the park leaves the highway on N orth Main street just south of the Sheek re sidence and a drive through the park brings one out into N orth Main street between the residences of Jacob Stew art and J.

Bodenheimer1 of W inston- Salem and H . A. Osborne, of San­ ford. Competing m erchants seem to be very m uch ired over the action of the m anagem ent in replacing two widely known and highly respect­ ed local men w ith total strangers and residents of oiher sections of the state. In an interview M r. Bodenheimer said neither he nor Mr. Osborne knew ot any reasons for the change frctn local to “ foreign” m anage­ ment. A large num ber of patrons of the store have rem arked publicly that they would not trade at this store under any circum stances as it was owned by foreign interests and would not even employ local men as clerks. W ith the exception of a five and ten cent store the H auser branch is Davie’s only chain store and residents of the county believe in trading at home and w ith m er­ chants who advertise iti the county papers.

H ow is the custom er to know that a suit of clothes he was formerly asked $ 4 0 for can now be bought for $27 50, or a pair of shoes that form erly sold for $7 50 is now sell­ ing for $5.50; a stove that last sold for $35 can now be bought for $30? T he same applies A o all Hues of m erchandise, m eats, groceries, etc. W hen nearby towns are daily ad­ vertising their merchandise and quoting prices, bow can the local m erchant expect the trade at home movement to gain m uch headway w ithout telling the people through the local paper each week w hat they have to offer-and the" price of their, merchandise? — W e are willing to do our part of boosting the trade at home move, m ent if our m erchants will do theits. --E x . ■ : T here are 570 different paying occupations in the United States to day and women work in 535 of I them. " . I "Cooperatives Offer Real Cotton Relief.” :‘M any am bitious plan for cotton relief are being proposed. ‘Mean while there is one clear, simple, de­ finite, practicable plan which is available right now and which any cotton farm er'anywhe-re, any time, can take advantage of. W e refer to.thft offer of cotton cooperative to advance w ithin one cent of the cur­ rent m arket price. 'O f one thing we may be sure a.nd that is.that no hum an necces- sity will long sell below actual pre sent cost of production as cotton 'is doing today. . Hence it is clear thai farm ers should not sacrifice the crop at present prices. And a se cond fact is equally clear; namely, th at the surest and best immediate Iy available plan to avoid sacrific ing the crop is by taking advant age of the rem arkably liberal offei of the cotton cooperatives. No farm er who will help him self in this way has any right to complain about somebody else not helping him .- S ‘W e also feel that about the surest perm anent plan to control acreage is found in m em bership in a cotton cooperative m arket asso­ ciation. If a cooperative in any line is carrying 25 per cent t o r i n dividual members. H ence each individual member kno.ws that re­ ducing acreage next year will not only help next year's prices but al­ so help pirices on about 25 per cent of his own crop produced this year. H ence cooperative-m arketing it self, if it were generally followed, would go a long wav to provide “ surplus control.” — Progressive Farm er. Forsyth Farmer s Views On Money Interest Rates. 1Wi*!!, I see where the banks de cided to reduce the rate of interest to depositors from 4 to 3 per cent rem arked one of Forsyth's well- known farm ers Thursday. Com m enting the action of the financial i istitulions, the soil-tiller stated that if these banks would now reduce the rite to borrowers to 4 or 5 per cent, for a tim e it would enable many peo­ ple t<> pay debts which they cannot possibly m eet a t the six cent rate ''W e hear reports that call loans can be secured in New York at one and a half per c e n t, but nothing like it is ever heard of away from the money centers” 'b u t nothing like, it is ever heard of away from the money centers,” stated the Forsyth man. ‘‘The average poor man, if he secores a loan these days, is required to pay noi, onlv 6 per cent, but ‘brokerage’ fees which m ount up to an exorbitant rate,” stated the farm ers who believed in the banks protecting themselues but he was opposed to any kind of a “ holdup gam e.” Reference was made to business being done by certain loan agencies “ By the tim e you figure up the cost of securing loans from the average one of thes6 you will likely discover that you are paying from 10 to 12 per cent, interest.” added the man from the country. The farm er said he had heard for several years that certain bankers in this state had been wanting ths legislatures to change the legal rate of interest from 6 to 8 per cent — that is on small loans or in the dis­ cretion of the bankers. Public senti­ m ent has long been against any ad­ vance in interest rates, therefore it was soon discovered after each ses­ sion of the General Assembly iion- vened th at such a measure could not be passed —WinBton Sentinel.

O a k b o r o rS R a t e o f Ex­ c h a n g e A story comes from Oakboro that is causing some consternation among local barbers. It is said that Peuse F urr, Albem arle automobile salesman and golf player, of some note, went to Oakboro and got a shave and haircut at H inson's bar­ ber shop. H e handed the barber a 50-cent piece and was in the act of getting more change from his pock­ et when he was interrupted—“ you have already paid me too m uch— here is youi 15 cents change—and you get a waterm elon to boot!” A haircut, shave and a_25 cent water melon seems a whole lot to get for 35 cents.—Stanly News and Press.

Action Of American Legion. . 1 To the E ditor of Xhe Record: It is very unfortunate when an organization like the Am eiican L e­ gion, which is supposed to stand 'or law and order, acts as it did at its recent m eeting in Detroit. b\ lending its influence To the liquor interests of the country. AU the excuses that have been, ir can be made, by the organiza ion; or by it’s.newly elected head, -or their action can never s a tis h , my sober thinking man or woman in the United States. Mr. Stevens, a N orth Carolinian ■vho is the newly elected head 0! the organization, has been held in high esteem by the people of the state, and regarded as an up-stand ing m an; but to say that he lower­ ed his staudard by his action al Detroit, when be, along w ith the organization struck a-blow at the Constitution of our country, is put­ ting it mild W e are told by the Associated Press that when he was elected he received “ an enthusiastic ovation and promised his full devotion to carrying on the program of the Le­ gion.” And a part of that pro gram , according to thcir^aclion at Detroit, is to destroy Ihe Eigh teenth A m endm ent to our consti tution if their influence in that direction can succeed N o wonder they, then and there, receiving an invitation to come to A ustralia “ for t good, wet tim e.” Sham e on every Legionnaire, tiom Maine to T exas, who would 0 far forget him self as to lend Iiu iufluence to the worst enemy the ounlry ever h ad —strong drink. AU honor 10 them for standing ip against a foreign foe during the W orld W a'; but the sober judge ment of every man and woman iti our laud will be that no foreign power is able to do the harm to our country th at liquor will do if ever legalized again. -~ The American Legion is an iu lluential organization; and just think w hat it would have m eant, h .d that great body of citizens gone on record at D etroit for the honest enforcement of the E ighteenth A mendmenl? But they threw away their opportunity and offered to lend their aid arid comfort to the worst-enem y'the country has ever known. D uring the m ighty struggle through which they passed in the war, when an A m eiican pretended to be stauding np for hts country, blit was caught lending aid and com foit to the enem y, he was blaek balled to a finish. W hat will the fathers and moth ers of our land, who w ant theii country to be a decent place in which to live, think now, when a great, organization like the Am eri can Legion, w hich have great claim s Io patriotism in one breath, and in the next lays down w ith the enemy? Mr. Stevens now is talking of w hat he intends to do for ithe* or­ phans of those who lost their lives in the war; but if the influence ot he and his organization is success­ ful in destroying the Eighteenth Amendment* that of itself will do the orphans of his former com rades more bar.11 in years to come than he could overcome iu a life time.

Hoover at His Best (Boston Post) President H oover’s address to the veterans in Detroit was quite the strongest he has made since .oc­ cupying the W hite House'. -He made a very strong plea lor econo­ my and against any legislation which would result in an increase in natioiial expenditures just now ,.all of which should win the hearty ap­ proval of the public. W hile the picture of the nation’s finances, as draw n by the President, is anything 'but attractive, it occasions no sur­ prise. as everybody knows of the neavy deficit and the prospects for a heavy deocit and the prospects for a heavier one. It is to be hoped that M r. Iloov- e t’s w ord's mav have the efftct ol halting those who may contem plate further drains on our finances T he plea to the Legion, we may hope, will be successful. T he President, however, did not aim his shafts a t the veterans aloue.

I’ve been wearing ’em off ’n on since I was knee high to a duck. I used to switch around and buy most anyjdnd of shoes. I’ve paid some fancy prices in my day, and I’ve bought some “cheap” shoes-too— but there’s no use in talkin’, Brother, “Star Brand” Shoes are better. They’re: made of solid leather through and through, and they wear to beat the band . . . and here’s the good part, they don’t cost any more than ordinary shoes. You bet I wear “Star Brand” Shoes—When I need a pair . , to wear with my “go-to-meetin’ ” suit, that’s the kind I buy—and when I go out to do a real he-man’s job, my, “Star Brands” jog along with me.

(fHE BAVIl RECORD, MOCKgVitLE, ft. i@, OCTOBER t 4, i<)ii Republleans Will Make1 A Real Contest. (By M R Dunnaganl Raleigh.—While the'Dem ocrats in N orth Carolina have been having plenty of fun and have had a mono-: ply of the political boards, so. far, with candidates for United States1 Senate, Governor and on down the- line, announced or prospec ive, the Republicans, claiming 300,000 voters in the State, are not going to “ take it prone’ in the campaign and will have at least the minority party's share of artention in next year’s campaign, if the statem ent of a pro­ minent eastern Republican is re liable. .-The Republican, himself well known over the State, admits that President Hoover will be blamed for everything from the drought in Iowa to the floods in China, but con tends th a t most people have intelli­ gence enough to know that when evil conditions are staring in the face o.f the people of every country on the globs, one man cannot be made to shoulder the entire burden. More over, to charge the woes of the world to President Hoover, is, he main­ tains, not only utter demagoguery, but is likewise unpatriotic. Hope is cherished by the North Carolina Republicans that the De­ mocratic party will split itself a- sunder with ihe prohibition ques­ tion and the Raskob-Shouse. leader­ ship. thus muffing the ball the Re publicans seem bent on tossing their way, nationally. Moreover, they claim they have plenty of thunder right here in Nor h J Carolina. They will pick at the ac­ tions of the last General Assembly, which had only seven Republicans to j- the 163 Democrats They will make full use of the many exposures of g raft and embezzlement of county and municipal officers in the S late,1 they give warning. I And if jt takes a millionaire to op­ pose Senator Cameron Morrison, I they have th e ' m aterial in either Stuart W. Cramer, Charlotte -and Cramerton, a textile m anufacturer and member of President Hoover’s unemployment relief commission, and David H. Blair, Winston-Salem, U S Commissioner of Revenue in the H arding and Coolidge adminis tration and as long'as he cared to have that post in the Hoover admin­ istration. Both of these prominent Republicans, known as men of out­ standing ability and intergritv, are said to be quietly consideiing the possibilities of the Senatorial race. Also, it is recalled, there is Jake F, Newell, Charlotte lawyer, who has developed a reputation as one of the best stum p speakers in the State and who has been in the race for Congress and other offices, just champing at the bit to get into the Senatorial fight. He would make a Whale of a campaign, it is admitted by those who knew him. And. there are others who m ight be trotted out as dark horses, in case of emergency While Gdliam Grissom, Raleigh col lector of internal revenue, has been announcing himself for months for Governor, many of his associates doubt his sincerity, and look upon his statem ents as fun, out of which he is undoubtly getting plenty. Hold­ ing one of the most desirable federal ' jobs in the State, they doubt that he would give up a sure thing—that is. if President Hoover or a Republi­ can is the next President—to become a candidate on the Republican ticket in a normally Democratic state. But, m aintaining the Governor should come from the east, since the west will have the Senatorial candidate, and the most promising one is Major George E. Butler, of Sampson county. M ajorB utlerw as district Rotary governor and is held up as a fine lawyer, a man of ex­ cellent character, affable and popular —an altogether proper candidate for Governor. The Republicans expect to nomi­ nate candidates for Congress in ev­ ery district in the State, and a fu l State office ticket, it is stated. W ag­ ing a vigorous campaign, and with I the experience'they have of .the way the two year-old Australian ballot I iw works, they predict a better showing in 1932 than they made in 1930 or at any tim e in many years. . They place some hope in the Hoover M ajority in 1928, thinking some of the Democrats who balked at the national Democratic ticket may for­ get to return to the fold in the State. Most of the Republicans still dis­ like the primary method, into which they were forced last year by H Grady D irsett,. who received only 3-532 votes out of 37.000 cast In the Republican Senatorial prim ary. They may avoid, it in some of the •races for higher offices by centering on one candidate in each, but it is likely that some of the ambitious youngsters will again cause them to have to adopt that method of select­ ing their candidates.

H igh prices during the w ar and afterw ards for some tim e probably did more to demoralize farm ing than any thing else that has hap pened i a this country. W heat at two dollars a bushels, cotton at forty cents a pound, tobacco at fifty cent a pound and other ag ri­ cultural products selling in about the same proportion upset the farm er’s equilibrium . Tw o much prosperity pretty nearly ruined him but he will get over it.—E x. • A fter breaking into a store near Akron, O , and m aking aw ay with ioo pounds of sugar and other groceries, burglars left a note ad­ vising the proprietor to leave cash for their next visit.

Statesville, Oct. 6 .—Farm eis in the cotton-growing portion ot the N orth Carolina piedm ont region will go into the winter w ith more food and feedstuffs than they have had on hand at one tim e in 20 years. J. W. H endrix, director in charge of the state test farm here, declared today. “ Insofar as home supplies are concerned they are in better posi tion than a t any tim e since I have been in contact with them ,” he said. Mr. H endrix was county demon stration agent tor Catawba county 12 years before entering on hispre sent work a few m onths ago. He is quite fam iliar with condition in Iredell, Catawba, Caldwell, Rowan, Daviclsou and other piedm ont coun­ ties. • “ Crops in this area were unusual Iy good this year,” he continued. “ A wheat yield of 12 bushels to tfce acre is ordinarily considered good in this section. T be farm er who didn't harvest 25 to 30 bushel to the acre this year was classed as unfortunate. AU the grain crops were exceptionally good. “ T here will be no shortage of ieedstuffs, most of which produced in this section are consumed on the farms, Farm ers produced and are putting up moie food supplies for home use than ever before. “ T he cotton crop is good and but for the low prices being paid for cotton, agricultural conditions in this section would be excellent. But because of lower cotton prices, farm ers as a rule won’t have much spare cash. Most of them will hold on, however, and be in good posi tion to go ahead next year. They have been building up their land and im proving their livestock." Sticking To As Old - Habit. It is hard to break away from old habits.

Cash Prices vs Credii Prices, Common sense teaches us tha the m erchant who sells for casl can afford to sell Iiis goods for !es: than the one who sells on credit bi extended in many cases, and that necessarily brings the m erchant U] to the question of how he is goi’.if to compete in price with the merch uit who sells for cash only. A great many business concern.' have successfully met this proposi- iioti and others are last falling int< line. In the autom obile iudustn if a car is sold on tim e—financed— a carrying charge is ColleCe1H in ex­ cess of the price—the cash price. Again, the house furnishers, deal ers in furniture, etc., have adopted a cash price and a credit price. 01 time price on their wares. Thi.1 seems to be-onlv fair. T he carry ing of patrons for months necessar­ ily involves_larger capital than the selling for cash, and a m erchant’s goods cost him cash. T here is no difference in buying his goods 011 credit than in borrowing money, and who expects to borrow inonej w ithout paying interest 011 it? And. the m erchant who sell on a credit will lose a certain per cent of his accounts and this m ust be taken care of in some way. W ho should take care of these losses, the cash customer or ih ; credit customers? er H e is not due .to help pay C ertainly not the cash custom for losses' incurred on account of the credit business. T he credit customer should pay the carrying charges and take care of the losse? due to Ihe credit stytem . T he fair^aud reasonable to meet this situation is for all goods to be priced on a cash basis with a cer­ tain per cent added for charge ac­ counts. -This will protect the mer chaut, allow him to compete with the cash only m erchant, and at the same tim e take care of his casi customers. T he customer who pavs cash should not be required to pay tht same am ount for an article as the customer who buys it on three m onths tim e.— E x Blessings in Disguise.

Reading the list of teachers eni .'Ioyed for Statesville schools this « a r one m ight get the impression that there is a shortage ot teachers n N orth Carolina. Also the im ­ pression niight be created, taking he Statesville • school for an ex tmple. that South-Carolina has an lnindance of teachers m aterial and if a better grade assum ing-w hich issumiug may or may not be viol ent—that teacher's aie selected on nerit, - ■ • =. Of th e '61 persons listed as teach­ ers and in other capacities in the .■ity schools, 19— approxim ate!) :ne third—are set down as non re sidedls of the state. Ten of the 19 — pi actically one sixth of the eu ire num ber—come from South Carolina. Unless the Statesvilli schools are an exception, if oue may judge that the Palm etto State furnished proportionate num bers jf teachers for other localities and olher states, then the sistes, Caro Iina must be first in teachers. O; the other ninenou-residerits G eor gia supplies four, V irgiuia"-two, Tennessee, Florida and Chicago one each. It is also noted that of 13 teach­ ers employed in the Union Grove school, two arr non-residents of the state. A ssum ing that the percent­ age non-resident teachers employ: ed in other urban and rural schools in Iredell may be approxim ately the same, there is ground for the assum ption, accepting Iredell as an exam ple that there is a scarcity of teachers in N orth Carolina, or the material is not so good. The in­ stitutions engaged in teacher train­ ing in our State should lake notice. The evidence, However, is tlie othei w ay.as to num bers. All the re­ ports indicate that there are many more teachers ihau jobs in North Carolina; and originally all N orth Carolinians would declare with ve heinehee, if not with oaths, that the quality .of our teacher product in N orth Carolina can’t be surpass­ ed, that: it is equaled by few. In cidentally as many or more 11011 resideuts were employed in States ville schools last year. The num ­ ber has been uoticiable in recent time. Be it understood, however, -Oiai there is no law against im portatoin of teacher; nor is there sym pathy here with that provincialism which would confine the selection of teach ers to auy restricted territory, re gardless. If and when the choice is between an out-of state teac-her and a resident of the state, the non­ resident should be taken if . the choosers are convinced there is superior quality. B ut it would seem that, all things beiug equal, the preference should be given to the hom e product for obviouse rea._ sons. N orth Carolinians of course go to other states and teach. They have to, if other N orth Carolina localities show the same preference for non-residens in Statesville one wonders if as many of our iolks get jobs outside the State. Be it understood, also, that if this has no reference to comm uuity m aterial. It is probable that a con - m unity may be better served in teachers, generally speaking, il most of them are non residents of the com m unity. T he local political and persoual pull is harm ful in the selection ot teachers not ouly but that infliience m akes it diffiultsom e- tim es impossible," to- rem ove/one that may be a misfit. W hen the teacher comes from another com­ m unity, even oue nearby, the local influence in placem ent and reten­ tion—the influence that commands a job regardless of capacity for the work or the dam age to. the m ateri­ al—the children—that it may.' not he possible to repaii—wJill not be so potent. But this objection even if it held sound does not include teachers from other comm unities in the State, or in the county. T here is no purpose to start any thing; certainly not to prejudice the out-of-stat teachers com ing to live am ong us this year. We uiake no doubt they are all fine folks, capable teachers, and thev will be cordially received. But taking note of the fact that approxim ately one third of the teachers in the Ioca s ■schools are trom other states pro­ vokes some curiosity as to why it should be so; the wonder w hether our N orth Carolina teacher materi jl, adini tedly abundant, is deffi- ceint iu quality. We don’t be lieve anybody is going to adm it the deficiency. T hen if the quali­ ty is as good, there is further wonder why m aterial from w ithout ihe State should be given prefer­ ence—especially in iSuch large quantities—over N orth Carolina material, since some of citizenry -vho pay taxes for schools may be- lenied em ployment on' account of 'his out-of state influx. Will Interest Of Bor­ rower Be Reduced? (From Greensboro News ) W hile the action of banks gener- illy to reduce the interest rates paid on tim e deposits rests upon sound reason and is aimed at the cause of greater safety which the public has Iemanded with increasing vigor, it aevertheless gives rise to certain questions which are worthy of con­ sideration For instance, will the man who borrows money—that is : those who are forunate enough to have suffi cient securi ies to obtain.loans—e i- ^jy any lower rates of interest? Vhat has been the decrease in the <avings depositions, if any, since ai - iouncement of the reduced rates? If Ieposits have been withdrawn to any ippreciable extent, what hss be ■ome of them? Ic m a v b e th a tth iir ■uiflJW will stiulate business, tu t i-n’t it likewise possible that a Dor ion’may be hoarded or that they viH find their way into thbnce in vestments where promise, of higher -eturns providos a lure which is noi ■.0'Be resisted? W ith savings a tv a record high figure, can it be that he doctorine of thrift has overlerp ■id itself and its tenants must be up rooted in the face of existing cond lions?- And after these questions are con­ sidered, the ever-present tax issue asserts itself. W hat will be the at­ titude of the depositing public which leaves its funds on savings ac­ counts towards listing them , as they are required by law to.do, for taxa­ tion purposes? If N orth Carolina cannot get money in the bank on its tax books now, the already negli­ gible amount will likely shrink al­ most to uhe- vanishing ppint under the present arrangem ents. . When a man getting three per cent on his money pays taxes on it. he may have to pay the bank six per cent for funds with which to m eet p art of the obligation. Certainly the step taken by the financial- institutions offers reason anesv foi- adoption of a tax classification amendment whit h. North Carolina has steadfastly de­ clined to approve. The banks presumably know their b isiness, but since holding it in their savings departm ents is patently an­ other m atter it appears that an edu­ cational program which will aid or school the depositing public in re­ adjustm ent problems likely to follow in the-wake-of interest curtail, pro­ gram is imminently in. order.

Thisfrom the Cleveland Star: "Josephus Daniels, the Raleigh editor, can be depedded upon to up­ hold the principles of prohibition at any tim e anyone desires to start a wet-dry jousting tilt. That must be adm itted no m atter how often or how vehemently your may differ with him on other topics—or even on that topic. At the same tim e he can he counted upon to express mind a- . bout high leaders in the church tak­ ing too much time from religious m atters to mingle in political discus­ sions. But down at Warsaw we fear Mr. Daniels unintentionally came very near getting himself in a posi­ tion where he could be entangled. "The occasion was that of the wel­ coming home by W arsaw of their home town boy, Henry Stevens, who went awav to the Legion conven­ tion and made good by being elect­ ed commander of the World W ar veterans in America. Mr. Daniels was one of the speakers in the ‘wel­ come home’ party. Among other things he is quoted in his own news­ paper as saying was the following: ‘The Legion is the greatest organiza­ tion in world.’ We’re not question­ ing that statesm ennt, and very few will because the Legion is certainly , made up of a m ight fine group of young men. B ut this same Legion convention, rem em ber, voted for a referendum on prohibition at the same time it voted Henry Stevens in office. Some dry refform ers who may not be fond of Mr. Daniels and not really as dry. for that m atter, may take that opportunity of claim ­ ing M r1 Daniels is wet because he conr iders the Legion such a great or- . gariizuion ” The Star may possess itself in patience for if there ever was a gen­ tleman who would cut a double som ersault, carry w ater on both shoulders w ithout spilling a drop, politically speaking, that same per­ sonage is Josephus Daniels, editer of the Rhamkatte Roaster. D dn’t he before the national Democratic con­ vention in 192 5 bitterly denounced Al Smith and state positively under his own signature in a letter to Mrs. Nelly Hall R oot,-of Long Beach, C alif, that "I think it would be a fatal mistake, for the Democratic party to nominate a man with the wet record of G ivernor Smith and I could not stand for any wet ” Arid didn’t this same Jo.-ephus eo to the Houston convention and help write the platform jwhich contained a dry plank and said platform was kicked down the steps by Governor " Smith, and did Daniels repudiate Smith? .. w hr Indeed he did not but on the other hand supported him with pen and ; voice going all over the country making speeches in behalf of the wet Smith. . . /.H e came to W instonSaIem the'- night before the election There was a big crowd out to hear him and a huge parade, and Daniels pleaded^with Forsyth people to sup­ port the wet candidate although he himsejf had told Mrs. Root that he couldn't “ stand for any w et.” And f the people showed what they thought of Daniels and his advoccy of Sm ith by going to the polls the next day and giving Hoover a m ajority of 6,- 619 in Forsyth county and 62.696 in the entire state of N orth Carolina.

Additional evidence has been discovered which officers claim will show he was quarrelling w ith his wife one m iuute before the shot was heard and that he had the gun in his hand and was cleaning or loading it. T his witness-- will also testify, officers sav, that a scream was heard before the shot was fired. . Sheriff's deputies arrested Scott at Glen Alpine. E.

T aking the stand at the inquest, Scott testified that his wife picked up a pistol he had beeu cleaning and shot herself, either by accident or intentionally. W itnesses said he bad told them previously that the fatal shot was fired accidentally while he was cleaning the weapon shortly after opening the store. Mrs. Scott died almost instantly. T he bullet entered her body just below the heart. A physician testified at the in­ quest that powder m arks indicated the shot had been fired at close range.

'I A Horrible Tragedy. T here is a new-made grave—a little grave, in the Center grave­ yard, four miles west of Mocksville. In this little grave lies the body of a little girl—the joy' and pride of her parents. It is hard for us to put into words and cold type w hat this new-made mound represents and m eans to the parents of the little girl who, only a few days ago, was a well and happy school girl. T his great tragedy is the result of allowing vicious dogs to run at large—dogs that are not w orth a penny to their owners and are a menace to every child who has to walk the streets and highways. T his little girl was on her way home from school a few weeks ago, when she was attacked and bitten on the arm by a mongrel dog owned by a colored fam ilytin South Mocksvile T h ed o g was not known to have been mad, but had tried, to bite dif­ ferent persons who passed along the highw ay at different times. T he dog is also said to have bitten a colored boy, whose father took his gun and shot the dog: T he little girl who was bitten was brought to a' local doctor’s office and the wounds dressed. She continued to come to school until ten days ago, when she became ill, and'developed hydrophobia, dying a horrible death after suffering untold agony for nearly three days. W hen the dog was killed by the colored man whose son it had bitten, the body was throw n into a ditrh, it is said It we are not m istaken there is a law in Mocksville m aking it a mis dem eanor to allow any dog to run at large on the s ree s or highw ays w ithout being muzzled. T here is also a state law against allowing vicious dogs to run at large at anv tim e, and holding the owners re sponsible for any dam age done by them . T he failure to enforce these laws has caused the death of this sweet little child, whose life was worth more than all the dogs in the country. It is hard to put' in words the awful suffering of this little girl and the pain and anguish of the parents and loved ones in this grief-stricken home. It is tbo late to save the life of this little girl, but there are hundreds of other children wbo have to walk the streets daily, whose lives are in danger from vicious dogs. Drastic action should be taken by the town fathers so that these children will not be menaced by m ad, vicious and worthless dogs who roam the streets and highw ays both day and night. Contract Let ForPrison Contract was let at the court house in Mocksville on Tuesday afternoon for the erection of a state district prison cam p on the county home lands two miles west of Mocksville. A. H . Cozart and Fred Lanier, two local contractors were lower bidders and ,will com mence construction at once, it was learned. * T he cam p will be tem porary and house about fifty inm ates of the state prison at Raleigh. These will be used for road work in the coun­ ty and for truck farm ing on the lands of the county home property. S ix fram e buildings will be erected at a cost of approxim ately $4,300. T he prisoners -housed in this cam p will be of less vicious and dangerous types, it is said. A large num ber of them will be trusties and short-term ers. It was thought at.first this cam p would be used as quarters for the floating gang used by Road Super­ visor L . M _ Graves, but it is thought now a separate cam p will be erected for this crew or they will continue to be housed in the Salis­ bury camp. Little Elizabeth Green. -One of the saddest and most heait-rending deaths that has ever occurred in this section was that of little .Elizabeth Green, aged 11 years, which occurred at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Green, three miles west of Mocks­ ville, W ednesday afternoon shortly before two o’clock. Death resulted from hydrophobia, following a bite on the arm some five weeks ago by a rabid dog. T he little girl was on her way home from school when she was attacked by a dog belong­ ing to a colored family named Etchison, in South Mocksville. T he dog was later killed' and no one suspected that it was mad. Tbe little girl s arm was dressed by a local doctor, and seemed to have healed up. T he child continued in school until Saturdavpreceding her death. She was taken ill on Sun­ day and a physician called. She gradually grew worse and a num ­ ber of physicians were called in and pronounced her malady to be hydrophobia. E verything possible was done to ease the intense suffer­ ing of the little girl, but for nearly three days she suffe ed horriolv be fore the eud came. The little body was laid to rest in Center grave­ yard T hursday afternoon at three o’clock, in the presence of hundreds of sorrow ing friends and relatives. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. A. G. Loftin. Surviving Elizabeth is the parents, two broth ers and three sisters. T o the be eaved ones T he Record joins their hundreds of frieuds in extending heartfelt sym pathy in this tryi.ng hour, and commands them to Him, who, two thousand years ago, said: "Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, fcr of such is the kingdom ot heaven. ’ E ’izabeth is at rest—where there is no pain, sorrow, nor suffering, but where all is bright and fair. Just as soon as the cotton farm ­ ers dispose of their cotton we are looking for the price to go up. Trial This Evening Mrs. Flossie Leagans, charged w ith trying to stab her husband, F.

No sensible man of woman of character wishes legalized liquor and it would be more sensible to advocate a modern method of scattering boll weevils thtoughout the South than to ad­ vocate governm ent m anufacture and sale of liquor. ' T he church has just commenced its fight against the liquor curse. More than half the bootlegger’s custom ers are church members, he concluded. Rev. J. Clyde Yates was named m oderator, and Rev. A.

Gradually people are beginning t realize that the world has been 01 one grand joy ride and now that pay day has arrived some of them are al their wits end to know how to fact the situation. The N orth CaroUm Christian Advocate >n describing th■ national j >y ride may end in th> following: ‘‘The American people, from 191S tii 1929. wenc on a huge joy ride ‘■ivtrybody were doing ic.’ Anc like all people joy riding, they felt ri:her than they rt al y were For ihat reason, j iy riders are fret spenders, and so were the Americgi people. They filled up at every .fill ing station and were not careful ii the purchase made. Why shoult they be, for they did not pay tht cash, but gave their note or a bond But the financial earthquake of 192§- —memorable year—overtook these j;>y riders. And in the stocks tum Died, real estate did likewise,' am men who could borrow at will found their credit gone, and they in debi Cor the gas and oil and car. It was ■a rude awakening. "To come in from a j iy ride of 10 years with-mustles flabby, and the whole brain in a whirl from fast driving, and having lost any disposi tion to Io hard work, being at the 3ame tim e overloaded with debts, is a set ious situation. Soserious that some have flung high moral stand­ ards to the wind and repudiated their debts, .while still others are helpless It is a serious situation. But what shall we do? “ The answer is: prepare those flab by muscles for hard work, get dowr on solid earth, and forget that joy ride just as soon as possible. "The man that is willing to worl hard, to act honorable, and to make money slowly will come out all right. The fellow who does not will hit thi bread line, if there be one for- him to hit. B ut rest assured that joj riding and borrowing money to spend without a thuunht of paying is at ati end and we are glad of it.” Many Farmers Joining.

G OCTOBER 28, IQ^t Cannon Given Ovation. T he M ethodist Episcopal E cu­ menical Conference in session at A tlanta gave Biship Jam es Cannon Jr., w hat the news reports describe as a "rousing ovation" when I e entered the assembly. T he greet­ ing was so em phatic and so pro­ longed that he had to leave his seat in the audience and go to the platform w here leaders of the de­ nom ination were seated. This m ust have been a joyful ex perience for the m ilitant bishop as well as an occasion for distinct ast isfaction on the part of his friends. Despite the various and sundry ways in which the energetic church­ man gets on the front page, a pro­ minence he does not always seek, this ovation cannot be construed otherwise than as an endorsem ent of his attitude on public issues of great moment. Biship Cannon may have erred— probably did. But who doesn't? Life after all is an experim ent. H is career and his acts should be weighed all together. It is unfair to single out some of his actions and procedures and c o n d e m n him for these. T bisobviouslyw as ti e attitude of the M ethodist leaders at the A tlanta conference. —W inston Journal. Opportunities In U. S. Civil Service.
