Try Election Fraud
Cases In March.
The election fraud cases from
W atauga county in which 4 3 De
mocrats were indicted by the feder
al grand jury at Greensboro last
June will be called for trial at
special term of court to be held at
Wilkesboro, beginning Maich 21
presided over bv Fudge Hayes. A
motion was made at Gteensboro
Friday to transfer the cases to
Wilbesboro tor trial and Judge
Hayes announced at the conclusion
of the hearing that he would offtr
a venire of 150 men from the
Greensboro and Winston - Salem
divisions to be drawn for the selee
tion of the juries to try the de.
fendant in Wilkesboro.
Counsel for the defendants sp
ared before Judge Hayes Friday
and moved for the transfer of the
cases to the Wilkesboro division of
the middle district court. The
cases bad been calendared for the
special adjourned term of district
court which will be convened at
Greensboro February 1. It was
the contention of the defence coun
sel that trial of the cases at Greens
boro rather than in Wilkesboro
would be a great inconvenience to
defendants and their attorneys and
witnesses, and Judge Hayes ac
quiesced in this view.
Trial of the cases in Wilkesboro
with jurors drawn from that divi
sion, which includes Watauga
county, was sought by the defense
attorneys but Judge Hayes held
that it would be difficult to select a
jury without knowledge of the case
or prejudice in the matter from that
division. It was the expressed
opinion of the court that the inter
ests the of the government and the
defense would be served if jurors
were selected from the Winston-
Salem and Greensboro division, in
which the facts of the election cases
are little known and discussed. ,
During the argument on the mo
tion tor transfer, it was stated that
government has 75 witnesses under
subpoeua to appear-against the 43
defendants. Defense counsel stated
that 100 witnesses have been called
by their clients, and it is expected
that trial of the cases will- be pro
longed.
Last June the federal grand jury
in session at Greensboro returned
four bills of indictment against the
43 defendants charging them with
irregularities in the 1930 elections.
The alleged iregularities occurred
in Lanral Creek, Boone, Stony
Foik and Cove Creek precincts,
and the 41 defendants include sev
eral W atauga county officials.
Boy Grows 151.5 Bush
els Corn on Acre.
Raleigh,.Jan. 19 —Eston Brick-
house, 4 H club member of Pas-
quotank county, produced 151.5
bushels of corn on one acre of land
at a cost of 2 1 .8 cent per bushel
during the 1931 season and has
been declared champion corn clu’o
members of North Carolina.
Brickouse was awarded a gold
medal offerded by the Chilean Ni
trate of Soda Education bureau and
received a #35 cash prize offered by
the same organization for the best
record made in the four districts
into which the state was divided
for the contest.
L.' R. Harrill, club leader at N.
C. State College, said the lad pro
duced the corn at a cost of $33:06
and with it valued at 50 cents a
bushel netted a profit of $42 8 4 .

“Hee! Haw!” -
• “ The Pathfinder,” a Washing
con magazine, some time ago offer
ed prizes for partv slogans Three
eminent Democratic Senators: Mor
ris Sheppard, of Texas; Roya 1 S.
Copeland, of New York, and Clar
ence C. Hall, of W ashington, were
asked to serve as a committe of a-
ward for the slogaus entered for the
Democratic party. There were
near 100,000 offerings, and frotv.
them all the Senator selected this:
HEE! HAW! W E’RE COM
ING BACK!”
Without knowing what the othei
99 999 were it will be conceded at
once that the election of this one
was iuevitaole. It so piecisely fits
and reflects the Democraticattitude
toward a political victory. As oi:e
reads this slogan he can see tfe
well known jackass, with its head
ap, its long ears pitched forward
and its heels flying as it races to
ward the crib —the crib where it i
to feed its fill! No suggestion 0'
public responsibility, 110 thought of
rbligation to the people Nothing
but the selfish gradification of an
organ’zcd appetite.
HEE! HAW! W E’RE COM
ING BACK!”
A well chosen slogan, indeed. It
expresses with complete an i incon-
testible nicelv the highest aspira
tion of the Democratic party.
Are Small Towns Com
mitting Suicide?
This cry of the small town being
doomed is nothing more titan a cry'
it is up to the smail town to sur
vive. If they just sit and sit, and
do not invite folks to come, to try
to make prices attractive, why of
couise the trade will drift to the
larger towns where they are invited
in printing ink in a big wav. As a
general rule fo.ks don’t like to leave
their home town to trade elsewheie
but when there comes no induce
ment from the home merchant and
no indications that folks are really
wanted to come to their town, and
merchandise is not made attractive
or priced below war levels, it is
only natural that folks in these
strenuous days drive to other towns
that do invite them. Many small
towns do not die of necessity, they
just commit suicide.
Some Timely Advice To
Those Who Gossip
’he editor of the Monroe Eu
quirer hands out some plain honest-
to goodness talk and advice which
perhaps might be worth heeding by
some people in this part of the
country. Here is what he has to
s iv about it.
If a lot of follows of my ac
quaintance would spend half their
tune looking after their own affairs
and the remainder of time keeping
their noses out of other folks’ busi
ness they would get along better
“ Heard a main say one day last
week, "I ain’t keeping ruy money
no bank.’ He is not, because he
hasn’t any money in his pockets,
or anywhere else for that matter.
"W hen the Bank of Union closed
its doors almost two years ago there
was on deposit about $7,000 000
where people claimed they bad lost
their money in that institution.
Closing of that bank’s doors has
been a splendid excuse not to pay
honest debts'.
., “ Why not let’s go to work, live
within our incomes and cease this
everlasting bellyachin’? It gets us
nowhere to' gossip about this and
that bank, business house or indi
vidual.
"T he best citizen is be who at
tends to his own affairs, lives with
in his means, and makes money
honorably. The gossiper at heart
hopes disaster may befall those
whom be talks about.”
A Disgrace To Intelli- Is Prohibition
gence.
At the end of 1931, the National
Sifety Council said that it had be
come increasingly evident that the
traffic toll wonld reach an all time
record of 35 00 0 fatalities for the
year.
Here is a record that none of us
want It was within our power to
prevent it last year, exactly as it is
mr power to prevent the establish
iieut of another grisly record of
iutomobile deaths in 1932. Safety
>n streets and highways comes as a
result of the realization of the in
Jividual’s duty to drive his car at
all times in a prudent and intelli
gent manner. Carelessness, ignor
ance, drunkenness at the wheel, an
irresponsible attitdue. lack of ordi
nary courtesy—these things have
caused practically all of the 35 000
deaths. The really unavoidable
accident is extremely rare.
An informed and active public
consciousness can do much as the
National Safety Council has found
out. In nearly one half of our
cities united action ou the part of
public officials, civic organizations
aud public spirited individuals held
the death rate in check. But the
remainder there has been a woeful
spirit of apathy toward a problem
that menaces the lives of us all
We have entered a new year—a
year of many problems. And we
should remember that one of the
most important of these is to do
our bit to promote the cause of
carefulness and competence in
automobile driving.—Ex.
What About The Law?
I notice in the issue of the R-, -
leigh News aud Observer under
date of January 17, an article from
Concord, N. C., under headlines
“ Crack Railway Train Outtraveled
by Ford.”
May I inquire through the
columns of your paper, the object
of giving so much publicly and
prominence to the wilful, violation
of. and the utter disregard for the
states of Virginia and North Caro
lina, and of each city? town and
county through which this man
passed between Washington, D. C.,
and Concord, N. C ? When a man
admits and publishes the fact that
he broke every speed law in the ter
ritory through which he passed, is
the'object of the article to flagrant
ly aud emphatically impress on the
public the inattention and neglect
of tbeir duties and obligations of
the patrolmen and policemen, and
constables of the two stales? Is this
driver’s utter disregard of speed on
our highways; a menace to all sober
and careful drivers using (what
they have a right to use) the public
highways, to pass without further
nosice by the officers of the law? Or.
has the public no protection against
such speed fiends as this, as well as
from the many violations of the
laws by the buses and trucks?
Instead of getting a great deal of
puolicity aud apparent satisfaction
out of running a light Ford car 4 i4
miles, through rain, snow, and fog,
in seven hours and 32 minutes, at
an average speed 55 miles per hour
between Washington, D. C., and
Concord, N. C., this man should
ue convinced in every city, town
and countv in both states through
which he passed. —Henry Clark
Bridgers, in Greensboro News.
305 Suicides In North
Carolina.
Raleigh—There were 329 hom
icides and 305 suicides in North
Carolina in 1931, compared with
347 homicides and 281 suicides in
1930. Lightningkilled thirty-four,
c rmpared with fifteeu in in 1930.
The figures are iu a state health
board report.
Unpopular?
The problem which the princi
pal leaders of the Democratic pai-
ty seem to be setting themselves
for solution this year is how to e
Iect an enemv of prohibition Presi
dent of the United States.
The solution wouid be simple e
nougb if the political wets really
believed what they are constantly
reiterating, namelv, that the pro-
hioition law is widely unpopular;
that the nation as a whole is clam
oring for its repeal; that there is a
positive uprising of public senti
ment in support of the proposition
that liquor shall again be given
place in the economic and' political
structure of the nation.
If these things are true, and we
read of them every day in the
speeches and proclamations of the
leading wets, it would be simple
enough to nominate the most a
vowed antiprohibitionist on a plat
form declaring for the immediate
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and for the systematic refus
al. pending repeal, of all legisla
tion for its’ enforcemont. Instead
of this, most of the leaders of one
of the two greatest parties in the
country are apparently striving to
discover some way by which they
can accomplish" their end without
letting the voters know . precisely
what it Is at which they aim.
Let it be clearly understood that
not one single man prominently
mentioned for nomination bv the
Democratic Party is a dry. Gov
eruor Roosevelt, wuo at present is
far in the lead iu ibe struggle foi
delegatts to the coining conveutinn,
is making everv effort to “sorl
pedal” the wet issue, but is on re
cord as a believer in repeal, and as
having approved the repeal of the
enforcement act in the Stale of
New Yoik. H istfforts to diveit
attention from the liquor question
to 0 her important issues in the
campaign have been regarded by
many of the most powerful leaders
iu his party as evidence of his un
fitness to lead because of his lack
of single minded devotion to the
task of restoring liquor to its an
cient place
O neof theoiherprom inent can
didates. Governor Ritchie, has giv
en liquor first place in his platform,
and Newton D. Baker, a man of
great ability and proved integrity
iu public se: vice, has unfortunate
ly committed himself to the same
dogma.
While, then, the Democrats seem
committed, probably against the
will of a nreat number of the mem
bers of the party, to the nomina
tion of an enemv of prohibition,
they are striving to obscure the
significance of such a nomination.
Their latest proposition is that the
platform should declare merely for
the resubmission of the prohibition
of the prohibition amendment to
the states. It is held by these as
tute politicians that such action
would be in no way a recommends
tion of repeal, but would be mere
Iy putting the whole proposition up
to the American people. But of
course a vote for resubmissiod is
essentially a wet vote.—Christian
Science Monitor.
When People Are
“Skeered”
Over in Gaffney, S. C., a woman
brought to the bank a batch of five-
dollar bills that had been mostly
burned away. She. wanted the bank
to get them redeemed for her. The
bank did not need to be told that
they were the same bills that had
been drawn out a few weeks pre
vious, because she wanted to plav
safe. She carried the money home,
wrapped it. carefully and stuck it a-
w ay 111 an old s'ove. Somebody in
the house, thinkii.g that was what a
stove was build for. started a fire—
thus reveated the hiding place.
In Greensboro a fellow got leary
of a bank, withdrew his accumula
tions, deposited them in another
bank, and next day walked down tbe
street and saw a “closed” sign on
the door. The bank he left was.
sound but if every depositor had
followed his example it would have
gone the way of the other bank
which closed because the depositors
became uneasy.
In Florence, it is related that a
number of citizens were rapidly
withdrawing funds from a bank and
1 ushing them into the pnstoffice for
deposit in the name of Uncle Sam.
When we are scared we just run a-
round in circles without using our
heads and more often than not we
butt our heads into a convenient
lamp post. When our fear affects
our money we seem to lose our rea
soning power the quicker. Realing
this characteristic the banks are
compelled to carry on har-.d sufficient
cash to take care of an emergency.
In doing this it is necessary to
’ frei-ze” much of the capital that
ordinarily would i.e about its busi
ness of meeting the lietds of the
peop'e Fear has its price and usual
ly we have to dig deep in our pock
ets to pay for it.-—Elkin frioune.
When AU Is Lost.
TheJanuary issue of Ihe Prac
tical Druggist carried the following
paragraph which we thought was
worth passing along:
“ Here is a proverb from an old
Detrioter who lived up to it and
died as happy as most men can per
haps it will help somebody’s feel
ings in 1932.
“ When money is lost nothing is
lost; when health is lost something
is lost; when honor' is lost all is
lost.”
Volunteers A Few.
When Governor Grrdner recom
mended to the Iegilature that salari
es of all State offi ials and employes
be cut 10 per cent he suggested that
the coDstiiuti >nal officers whose
salaries can not be increased or
diminished during their terms of
office, should voluntarily make the
reduction. The constitutional officers
are the governor, lieutenant gover
nor, secretary of state, treasurer,
auditor, attorney general and super
intendent of public instruction l'he
lieutenant governor doesn’t count in
the salary cutting as he gets no re
gular salary. He is paid by the day
as legislators, during the legislative
sessions, when he is presiding officer
of the senate.
Since the 10 per cent salary cut be
came effective at the beginning of
the present fiscal year—July I—it
appears that there has been some
talk in official circles to the effect
that the governor hadn’t reduced
his own salary. The gonernor said
nothing. But recently it came out,
through treasury records, that since
the cot was made effective the gov
ernor Iras turned back into the treas
ury 1(1 per cent of his salary. He
gets $6,500 salary and is allowed $600
per year for traveling expenses,
making a total of $7,100, which is
small as governors’ salaries go. Just
pri ir to his inauguration a bill was
int'oduced to increase the salary of
the governor to 10,000 per year, but
Governor G irdner, who had entered
npon his olfi-'ial duties at the time,
asked that the increased should n< t
apply during his term. With that
the matter was dropped. If he had
been considering salarv. he would
now be drawing $10 000 a year. In
stead, at his own instance, he is re
turning 10 per cent of 'his monthly
check, the returned 10 per cent of
his monthly check, the return a-
muunting Io $56 16 per month. It
also appears that the late State
Treasurer O’berry returned 10 per
cent, of his salary of $4,500 per year.
But it does not appear that any
other of the State officials whose
salaries are protected from redur-
tion during their terms have follow
ed the example of the State’s head
and the late State treasurer.—

WITH SOLBD CHSLLED QR
SOFT-CENTER STEEL RfSOLDgOAItD
John - Deere-Syracuse chilled and
combination steel-and-chilled plows
have earned their reputation for
leadership in the w ay they shed in
alluvial soil th at is inclined to be sticky, the way
they penetrate in hard, gritty land and the way they
stand th e WeSr under long,, hard service.- Their su
perior design, mechanical construction, m aterials
and performance have won the favor of fanners
wherever chilled plows are used.
T he unusually light draft of these plows is. due-
m ainly to the special shape and angle of moldboard
and share which lessen the friction, and to the hi^h
shin piece which causes a quick turn of the furrow slice.
M oldboard, landside, .share "and shin are held in
alignm ent by a die-dropped malleable frog. This
feature insures even running, good work always,
and proper fit of repair parts. Beam is of double
beaded, high -carbon
steel.
W e can furnish these
plows .in either right-
or le ft-h a n d styles,
and in a size to meet
your needs.

ticism that the corporation was or
ganized to help big business, .-Mr.
Hoover said in signing the bill:
Its purpose is to stop deflation in
agriculture and industry and thus
to increase employed by the restora
tion of men to their normal iobs.
It is not created for the aid of
big industriet or big banks. Sncb
institutions are amply to take caie
of themselves. It is created fcr
support of the smaller banks and
financial institutions and, through
rm deriug their resources liquid, to
give renewed support to busimss
industry and agriculture. It should
give opportunity to mobilize, the
gigantic strength of our country
fir recovery. '
The couple hundred million dol
Iars that may be used to relieve de
positors of closed banks pending li
quidation may not be adequate but
the amount should be considerable
help.—StatesvilleDaily.
Call of The North-And
The South.
Pity the man who has'not stood
beneath a tropic sky with the Sou
thern Cross shining overhead and
heard the palm fronds rattling sib-
ilantly in the soft evening breeze.
But also have compassion on him
who has not paused on a New-Eng
land hillside in midwinter, a full,
bard, silvery moon gliuting across
a snow-covered field with a dark
background of pines, and heard
the trees snapping with the inten
sity of the frost.
There is a quality of the south
ern firmauent once seen never to be
torgotten—soft, romantic, almost
languorous. T hereisalso an un
forgettable qualify to the New En
gland sky on a clear winter night
The galaxy stretches across the
sky line a thin silvery ribbon. The
G reatD ipperand Orion, the Pleia
des and Cassiopeia, blaze with a
light that almost dazzles in the In
verted bowl of the sky. Moon
light against the snow casts long
shadows, and there can be cool si
lences deep as-the tropics’ harmony
of color and sound.
There is beauty both north and
south'. The northern man is like
ly to long for the South; the south
erner perhaps to a lesser extent
thinks of the North. -There was a
man ouce who left a good position
in the North because he, wanted to
hear again the muffled booming of
breakers offshore on a- coral reef.
‘And there also was a man who de
serted the tropics after two years
because he yearned for one thing
—to .hear the drip of water from
the icicles along the eaves of a New
England fkrm house.
Au Unworthy Member.
Judge Watson, of thef Winston-
Salem municipal court, was asked
by sweeping mother, whose son had
been corruped by the man, if he
could not remove the Reverend from
Thomas F. Pardue’s name. The
J udge told the mother that he would
be delighted to do so. and he sent
enced the man to the roads for 12
months with the Reverend still’cling
Ing to -him. •
The woman whb made the. request
was the mother o f. a sixteen year
old lad who, the-state contended,
was introduced by the man./a former
evangelist, to help handle: whiskey
at his home.
The church cannot be too careful
in the selection of its ministerial re
presentativeS'.apd all of them ought
to have means of prompt removal of
all who have proven unworthy of
the high calljng. It is a very grave
reflection on 1 the church, and does it
incalculable harm when men wear
the authority of the ministry un
worthily.
Of course this applies to other call
ings and professions too, but we ex
pect so much of the ministry, and
the reflection is so grave and hurt
ful and man who brings discredit
upon the ministry ought to be dealt
with in a way that w»uld be fair to
him and at the same time remove
an unworty member from the
church’s ministerial roll.
The man is question has been more
than once caught in position un
worthy of association with the pul
pit and there ought to be a prompt
removal of such, and there ought to
be such a careful oversight at the
intake that it will be but impossible
that such a man get into the. minis
try.—Salisbury Post;

The Canadian Tariff.
Commenting on the new Cana
dian tariff the Montreal Star Ins
the following to sav: “ The new
customs regulations just issued at
Ottawa are designed primarily to
safeguard Canadian revenue, they
merely take dare of the situation
which has arisen owing to depre
ciation of other currencies in terms
of the Canadian dollar. But, quite
incidentally, they will have thi
effect of increasing the protection ol
Canadian goods in the home mark
'et, and to some extent neutralizing
the. effects of the fall in sterling
upon our imports.”
In the presence of this matter of
fact and obviously accurate and in
formed statement of the purpose
and effect of the new "Canadian
tariff, how silly and shallow seem
the allegations of certain De*mocra
tic leaders who have' insisted that
the new Canadian tariff was a mea
sure of retaliation directed against
the United States because of the
rates in the Hawley Smoot law!
Tbe only thing that could be sillei
and shallower is the allegation of
these same Democratic leaders that
in order to placate Canada Wt
should at once knock the tariff off
farm products and permit Canada
we should at once knock the tariff
off farm products and permit Cana
da to flood the country with beef
cattle, pork, grain and dairy
products.
What Baker Liberalism
Did.
Clark Conkling in Lyons (Kan.)
News.
Newton D. Baker, who as Se
cretary ol W ar in the Wilson ad
ministration threw away millions
of dollars of the public money in
ordering all kinds of things from
curry combs to "eagle boats” that
were never used says that, "all the
comment which suggests a pres
idential candidacy for me is based
upon the need of a revived libera
lism and a refreshed idealism in the
country.” The "liberalism” of the
Wilson administration is what creat
ed the debts of the foreign coun
tries of the United States; piled. up
billions of dollars of materials for
which this country paid and could
not possibly have used: and left us
more than 26-billiou dollars in debt
when Wilson and Baker went out
of office. Lord save us from any
more of the Wilson Baker brand
of "liberalism.”
Hee! Haw! j
Times-Record, Spencer, W. Va.
Our hats, are off to the Demo
crats! After having blindly’ criti-
zlzed the President and the Repub
lican party for three full years,
t'ley have come forward with some
thing constructive. It is the; 1932
campaign slogan, submitted 'by a
Texas man who won $roo because
his was the best out of loo.odo en
tries. The judges were Democratic
Senators Copeland, Sheppard and
Dill. How they must have scratch
ed their heads' before they finally
decided on the winning slogan:
• Hee! Haw! We’re Coming Back!”
That is a prosperity slogan if
there ever was one. It will steam
up the railroads over night; It
will open every closed bank before
you can say Jack Raskob It' will
put m illion of men back to work
plus beer and a full dinner pail.
“ Hee! Haw! W e're Coming
Back!” 'Wby couldn’t the Repub
licans have thought ttp something
constructive as that? This whole
depression might have been pre
vented, the drought ended and the
Mexican beetle destroyed.
Until we heard the new* slogan,
we thought that President Hoover
hid a pretty good chance to be re
elected. But he hasn’t got a chance
now. No siree! No man can hope
to win against such a thoughtful,
constructive idea.
"H ee! Haw! W e’re Coming
Back! A masterful slogan, if there
ever was one; especially for times
like these -

How About Advertising
“ Business is falling off. We must
begin to do'less ad vesting.”
“ Business is falling off. We must
begin to do more advertising ”
Those are the philosophies of
busiuess two or three decades ago
and business today, In the era be
fore the merits of advertising were
appreciated or even half under
stood, the merchant and manufac
turer were inclined to regard ad
verting as a. luxury of dubious
value. It was all right they thought
when -business was good, but it
wasn’t a necessity, after all. They
would quote to their associates the
old saving that any old fish could
swim downstream but it required a
live one to go up stream, but they
did not usually apply this maxim
in times of business depression.
The modern business man rea
lizes that extraordinary exertions.
He goes out for volume and profits
more energetically and on a bolder
scale when his disheartened com
petitors find the going rough- Even
when he does not get the hand
some returns Which came to him in
other days, he usually discovers
that his losses have not been nearly
so seiious as those of his timid
rivals.
Davie Raising Rabbifs
Although a comparatively new in
dustry in the county the raising of
domestic rabbits is rapidly attract
ing attention and shows evidence of
being destined to play an important
and leading role in the life of Davie
county. More inquiries have been
received by the state and federal de
partments of Agriculture regarding
this new enterprise comparitively
speaking than for any other one
thing it is reported by representa
tives of those departments.
In Divie there are only-about half
a dozen commercial rabbitrys and
they have all sprung during into br
ing during the last year or so. The
last of these is the Shutts Rgbbitry
at Advance with about 200 breeders
and youngy Other plants with fifty
to seventy breeders include Frank
Tucker and John Meecham of Ad
vance. The West brothers and Ver
non Miller of near Farmington and
several others just entering the busi
ness and still operating on a small
scale.
One reason for the increased inter
est in raboits is the largest amount
of publicity given it by the state
and federal departments of Agricu -
ture and the advertising of county
fairs, rabbit shows thtough the press
recently. In Davie there were about
two hundred head entered last fall at
the county fair and the Sbutt Rab-
,bitry has taken honors at the Cibar-
rus District Fair. The Charlotte and
Spartanburg Rabbitshows and other
places.
In the literature sent out by the
agriculture teat out by the agricul
ture departments it is revealed that
rabbit meat can be produced a a-
bout one-half of the cost of chicken
with.less trouble and in -addition to
finding a ready market is also one of
the most appetizing delicacies to be
found on southern tables being pre
ferred by many even to chicken
which is saying plenty ■
Then feeding rabbits is a very
simple process as they will eat al
most anything relished by a cow and
should be fed Very similiar to lha>
familiar barnyard animal.
- Breeders of the county repori
they are unable to anything like
meet the demand for fried rabbit or
breeding stock from the cities of
High Point, Thomasville and Wins
ton Salem!

each one of us. If we will take that
billion dollars out of its hiding
places, and select a good sound bank
in which to deposit it. we will so re-
Ieive the credit strain, Shd so lift
the mental depression of the people,
including our own selves, .as to in
sure a liberal step up in business
volume during th e early weeks of
1932,' and a general easing of world
conditions which will surely reflect
itself in our international trade, and
in world prices .. When this billion
has been released, it will no longer
be necessary for the banks of the
country to hold still another billion
in their vaults in preparation for de
mandsof anxious depositors. And
thus, the release of this country, fin
ancially afifoat in smooth waters, and
ease the financial troubles of the
whole world.
The year 1932 will be what we
make it.—Ex
The Truth.
The Great Ruler of the Universe
meant it to be that way, otherwise,
if the average person was prosper
ous it wouid spell his ruin , We
have evidence of that a short time
back—everything and everybody
was riding on a wave of prosperity.
W hat did they do? Most all of
them went to gambling in stocks
and bonds, everything went to fic
titious values and then - the crash
which was inevitable. When peo
ple go hogwild tnev had better
spend their money on what thev
need. Give the "Deer Peepul”
plenty of money and they will go
•to gambling again. The only thing
that keeps sensible is to keep their
nose on the grindstone.—Ex. ■
Weather May Be Some
thing Fierce.
; The unusually mild weath»r new
prevailing may he the forerunner of
a severe winter if weather history
repeats itself, according to the fol
lowing interesting story in the An
derson. S. C., Independent:
Tuesday was probably‘the warm'
eat January day experienced here
since I'99. when the fall and wiritir
was so warm the vegetation was not
killed out until early iif" February.
Mild temperatures which have pre
vailed thus far this winter are no in
dications that summerlike weather
will continue Tothecontrary bal,
my breezes in December and Jan
uary are frtquently supplanted b>
roaring blizzirds in February.
The present winter is paraded to
the winters of 1832 and 1899, weath
er records reveal. The fall of 1832
was typified bv unusually warm tem
peratures, and the mercurv dropped
only slightly with the advance of
winter months. Grass was still green
on Christmas day. No killing frost
fell until January 3. From January
5 to February 10 it was exceedingly
warm. Fruit trees and flowering
shrubs in this section began to bud;
firm ers started their plowing and
Andersonians prowled about in shirt
sleeves. ,
On the night of February 11th,
the merr ury began to hesitate. Then
it plunged downward like a plum
met. Frigid winds whistled through
the trees; sullen clouds, underlaid
I y a fast flying skud, came tumbling
out of the north. Lightning flashed
that night ancf thunder rumbled.
Rain cam down in torrents, -bui
checked with the coming of the
morning The mercury continued to
drop and by nighfall, February 12,
ihermomeiers in Anderson iegister-
ed 10 degress below zen I
Tnen snow and rleet started fall
ing. Within a few hours great limbs
unable to stand ihe pressure began
crashing to the earth. By midday
February 13.trees were exploding in
rapid fire order. Sap had rised in
them during the warm weather, and
when this froze an explosion result
ed. . Itissaid that n,oi-e was'com
parable to an artillery dnel Mighty
oaks split from top to toproot, and
forests were almost blasted to pieces.
The Savahah. Seneca'. Tugaloo,
and Rockv rivers were frozen over
as wi 11 as smaller streams through
out this section, birds ai d small
game vpere killed out by the cold.
Live stock froze to death in pastures.
Death and destruction;, were every .
where.
At least one Anderson man is
known to have perished from the
cold H ew asthedriverofthestage
coach operating betweeen Anderson
and Abbeville. When the coach roll
ed into Anderson on Saturday after
noon. February 12, and came to a
stop in front; of Christopher Orr’s
tavern, he tumbled from his seat—
stone.dead! He was puried in the
Baptist cemetery here.
The winter of 1899 was similar to
that of ’32, but not quite so severe
With the exception of or.e or two
snort lived cold snaps, the mercury
remained well above the ‘freezing
point until February 4, w henitdm i-
ped to eight degress below zero The
cold continued, and on February 10.
a storm began. It raged with una
bated fury until Mondav night, Fel-
ruary 13. Snow was between two
and three feet deep in Anderson.
Statistics reveal that this section
rarely ever experiences real winter
weather until February. The Dutch
weather prophet predicts that next
month will be especially cold. He
basis his prediction on that 1932 is a
triple-cvcle year.
A cycle-is made up-of 30, to 35
years, and there are three- of. thenj
in each IOO year period. They bring
mild and severe winters. Thiswinter
is scheduled to match the winter of
1823. which means that some arctic
weather lies straightahead. ■
Luck may have been with you
for years, but it can leave vou any
minute.
Most of the other feljpw’s troub-'
Ies seem trivial-until the same thing
happens to us. ■

Bill Murray, of Oklahoma, dush him
self into a place on the Democratic
national ticket may kiss lheir: wor
ries good bye The picturesque west
erner is politically insane; he says
what he thinks.
Can you imagine a potential can-
di iate not only coming clean on the
controversial prohibition question,
but picking of all places an annual
convention of the Anti Baloon league
to express his belief that "progibi-
tion will not prove the wisest legal
s-flution of the control of the liquor
traffic”? And as if that were not
enough straight from-the shoulder
talk for one dav the Oklahoma gov
ernor topped oft his address bv ad
dress by advising newspaper re
porters, informally but nevertheless
for publication, that “ the mentality
of the audience wasn’t what I ex
pected ”
William Henry Murray for Presi
dent or for vice president in this
stradding age of politics?' Not a
chance. Why the man speaks his
mind. There’s no telling what he
might do, even to appearing before
a convention of the Association for
Repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment and expressing admiration for
Mr. Volstead. Governor Murray
may merit anv or all of the epithets
which have been cast in his direc
tion, but poiitician, as this part of
the country knows a politician, can
not be included in the arraignment.
—Greensboro News
Calls Attack On Jonas
“Piddling Business”
From Greensboro News.
Not one gray hair in this devoted
head was caused by anxiety over the
confirmation of Charles A. Jonas or
anv other Republican—or Democrat
—as district attorney or anything
else in the gift of the federal govern
ment. One of the easiest things we'
have ever done was to take or leave
the objects of political patronage.
And yet we are, and have been since
.the argument, decidedly ■ of the
opinion that Senators Bailey and
Morrison were far better occupied
with something vastly different
from opposing the ratification by the
senate of Mr, Jonas.
We are willing to accept as true
the statement that Mr, Jonas has
said some nasty things about Demo
mocrats in North Carolina and their
manner of conducting elections:; It
is altogether likely that he cannot
begin to prove some of his charges.
But what of ii?
When did it become a cardinal poli-
tical sin for a Rrpublicat sin for a
Republican.—or Democrat—in these
parts to overspeak himself? Is Mr.
Jonas not capable? Is he a poor citi
zen, an undersirable neighbor? Does
pay his debts, confine his chickens to
his premises and keep his nose clean?
There are many Democrats' in
Vorth Cirolitia who ought to be
talked about, and sometimes we
think it would do the .partv as a
whole good to have things said a-
bout and to it. We doubt seriously
if Mr. Jonas anything harsher a-
bout the election manners of Mr,
Bailev -and his - friends than Mr.
Bailevhas said—and might be in a
belter position to prove—concern
ing some of those who used to sub
due the opposition to the Democra
tic machine in North Carolina.
This immediate section of: the
state owes Mr Jones nothingih par
ticular and we cannot at this mom
ent recalls a personal obligation; but
there are lots of things around
Washington that a man of Mr,
Bailey’s size and attainments might
turn his hand to before he-expends
any of his energy in attempting to
build a fire under the devil of par-
tanship.
The thing that is having more
than anything else to do with brn •
ging about the cash basis m busi
ness is the abuse of the credit sy; •
tem bv those who have been favor
ed with credit. One of these days
all business will be on a cash hasis.-.

If the Fork road is left in its pre
sent condition the folks in Fulton
will visit Ifocksville only once in

«_ently. and it was said that a con
tract, would be let this spring for
liard surfacing it, but it appears
now that our chances for this road
to be built this year is sliiu It is
a pity that the old road was torn
up if the state is nnable to build a
new one—the former road was pas
sable in all wgather. but the new
graded road cannot weil be traveled

In ordinary times we would sav
that winter was over, since the
groundhog did not see his shadow
last Tuesday, but since winter
hasn't yet started, we hardly know
what to say about the m atter. The
sun came very near shining two or
three times last Tuesday afternoon,
but wasn’t out enough to' cast
.shadows, so we guess his hogship
came out and remained for the full
day.' This was the fiist Feb. 2 nd
since 1918 that the sun failed to
shine for at least a few minutes
soihe time during the day. On
Dec. n th , 1917, a heavy snow,
. measuring about 11 inches deep,
’fell In this section. This snow to
gether with three other snows and
a sleet or two, covered the ground
.until Feb. 2 . 1918. On this date a
warm rain fell all day long and
melted practically every bit of the
ice and snow. The ground hog did
Uqt see his shadow, and on Feb.
. 1918 the sun came out. the birds
-■began to sing and winter was over
so far as snows, sleets, cold weather
and freezes were concerned. The
winter of 1917 18 will be long re
membered for its severity, but
when the groundhog failed to see
his shadow on Feb. 2 nd, spring

WheB Democrats Fight.
Hon. Frank D. Grist, democrat
ic Commissioner of Labor, in speak
ing of Hon. O. Max Gaidner, de
mocratic economy Governor, has
the following to say.
* One piece of Garflner economy
I would like to have explained to
the average citizen and taxpayer—
‘W hy is it Jaking three appointees
of'Governor. Gardner’s at a cost of
$14,600 to do the work that- ,was
formerly done by one man during
Ihe term of his predecessor at a
cost of $4 ,0 0 0.’ ”
Grist said the 1925 general as
sembly created a , pardon commiss-
icner at a salary of $4 ,0 0 0, the
commissioner also acting as acting
secrerars’ of the salary and * wage
com m ission.
"A s far as I know the plan wor
ked," Grist declared.
“ Along came the Gardner ad
and the
ti
tie of “ pardon commissioner” Io
that of a more dignified one, 'exe
cutive counsel’ and a salary of
0 5 0 was paid.
“ The 1931 session of the general
assembly changed the thing again
and provided that the executive
conusel should receive $3 00 0
year, took away the duties of the
salary and wage commission and
set up an entirely new department
of personnel with a director of per
sonnel at a salary of $6 ,0 0 0 per
vear and an assistant at a salary of
$3 ,600 a year” the statement., con,
tinued. :
ministration on economy’
legislature of 1929 changed the
Talking Straight.
A Charlotte bank had a page ad
vertisement in The Observer recent
ly, speaking very, plain about snip
ping that has evidently been going
on regarding it. The officers of the
bank state very frankly and openly
that the bank is solvent, ‘well able
to meet all obligations and can get
more cash tlian is needed.-
The bank also offers a reward of
one thousand dollars to be paid up
on conviction of auv one who has
slandered the institution Jaud thus
tended to break down confidence
We do not know of anything that
we aTe more glad to see than this
open and conrageous word from a
well known and dependable institu
tion. It was no doubt timely and
ought to help to put a stop to .any
uncalled for sniping on the institu
tion.
It is doubtless trhe that such un
dercover whisperiugs have had
much to do with bringing solvent
banks to_ trouble. A good and sol
vent bank can be desperately hurt
by such action and any batik can
be brought to the point of a crip-'
pled-influerice in the community by
such common street chatter. This
irresponsible" talk, ought to be Si-,
lenced. We are glad to see a-bank
subjected to such harmful practice
speak out and straight to the point.

Biblical Names Found
InDavie.
It is perhaps true that there are
more Biblical, names to be found in
Forsyth’s neighbor county— Davie
—than any other in the state. A
recent news item sent out from Ra
leigh stated that seven. out of the'
nineteen towns in.Davie have names
found in the Bible, mentioning
Jerico, Joppa. Ephesus, Cana, Ma
cedonia and Bethlehem.—Winston-
Sentinel
We wonder why the village of
Jerusalem didn’t appear in the a*
bove list of. Biblical names. It is
one o f the oldest settlements in
Davie and-named after one of the
most famous old cities in Palestine.
Another important name was over
looked—that of Egypt, a section of
Davie located in the forks of Hunt
ing Creek and the -South Yadkin
River. In 1882: following the dry
year of 1881, people from various
sections of Davie journeyed to this
section to buy corn, as it, was the
only pjace in the county where the
farmers raised enough corn: for
their own use with som e to spare
for their neighbors in the memor
able year of j 881.

found-trouble in the form of Ruby
Sedberry, -a. star defense performer
wbo held the big threat of the visit;
ors. to a pair of free tosses until
personal fouls disqualified her, with
six minutes to go. Rodwell chalk'
up seven points during those last
few minutes of play,
. Tuny Young, center for Cooiee
mee. was also disqualified on fouls,
and Blalock, another defensive
player', went that route later. W ith
the Cooleemee team ; weakened by
the loss of the three players during
the last. period -Mocksville played
on even terms but could not over
come a 13 point lead held at the
three quarters. ■ .
The bovs’ game was a Iiard-
fnught battle,’ though very one
sided, as th e -Gooleemee- lads- had
the edge on : the visitors from the

NotTheWorst.
, It has become quite the custom,
particularly among those who are
gager to “play politics with human
misery,” to speak of the present
depression as the very worst the
country has ever known. But those
who thus characterize it either wil
fully or ignorantly misrepresent the
truth.
There have been so-called “pan
ics” which were shorter and less
destructive than the present. But
there have been otheis that were
almost immeasurably worse.
One of these was the depression
during the last Cleveland admi.uis-
trhtton from ’93 to ’9 7. During
those three years American trade
virhs all but completely paralyzed.
Tbe government of the United
States itself trembled on the very
verge of insolvency and was only
saved from going over the brink by
the most drastic legislation One-
fourth the country’s railway mile
age went into the hands of receiv
ers. There were natlon-widestiikes
of employees sometimes mounting
to industrial insurrection. There
was almost entire prostration of our
banking system. Wall Street ii-
self used to sav in those daj’s that
America “ has ho fiuaneial future.”
The present situation is not com
parable in severity, either, to the
conditions that prevailed for at
least five vears following the money
panic of 1873. During tho-e years
it was calculated that fully one
fifth of the investments in our rail
ways represented propetties sold in
foreclosure. Some of the largest
New York banks failed disastrously
and as late as 1877 there were rail
road strikes in practically every
great railroad center in the coun
try involving the destruction of
.eiormous amounts of property and
resulting in the loss of manv lives.
United States troops being called
out to quell disturbances.
There is no point to be made in
attempting to minimize the distress
ing conditions.that have prevailed
during the past two years, but
there is still less point to' be made
in magnifying them. The one thing
always to be remembered- is that
out of far worse conditions than
now prevail the, country in times
past has risen triumphantly to new
levels of prosperity and achieve
ment.
Another State Highway
Patrolman In Trouble
. It seems next to impossible for
certain of Jeffress state highway
patrol to keep out of trouble. Only
a few weeks ago one of the lieuten
ants made a holy show of- himself
at,. Rutherfordtou but politics kept
fiiin in office and now it is .'Patrol
man W. E. Huggins, stationed at
Albemarle, that is in the limelght.
He was arrested the past week
under an arrest and bail proceeding
issued by the clerk of the Superior
county of Stanley county at the re
quest of Noah Maudlin. His bond
was fixed at $2 ,500 and immediate
ly Captain Charles D. Farmer and
.Lieutenant Fisher rushtd to Albe-
marlie and arranged bis bond and
it is presumed that when the case
comes up for trial the highway com
mission will ■ send some of its
numerous counsel to Albemarle to
defend^Huggins.
The action grew out of alleged a-
buse .of ,Maudlin by the officer while
the latter was being taken to jail
December -20 on charges of inde
cent exposure, driving while drunk
and-bit and run. Maudlin, given
a hearing a few days ago, was
found guilty of the charges and
fined. He was found not guilty of
resisting arrest.—Union' Republi

• Too many people think with their
mouths. Unless they talk they
can’t think, and the person who
thinks with his mouth is always
tiresome and a bore.
The hotel that advertised that it
was just like home, probably meant
that was one reason why it was al
ways empty.
The Whipping Post
Iu the municipal court Saturday
morning, Judge Thomas Watson
brought up a subject that has
caused study and concern to mbre
than one law enforcement body and
to the citizenship of many states,
I He advocated inauguration of the
whipping post, citing in as an an
tidote for the crime wave that has
swept so many persons into courts.
Judge Watson decjared his be
lief that a couple of public whip,
pings would be worth more thanan
unconnted number of jail and road
sentences. He also suggested that
such a punishment ,would save
North Carolina the great expense
involved in caring for defendants
while they are serving their punish
ment. ‘
The whipping post is generally
regarded as an instrument of by
gone days. It was the basis of
punishment for offenders when this
country was getting staited and
there are some who look upon it en
tirely as a symbol of the darker
days.
But the whipping post idea has
its merits. Its use without strict
regulation would be a sad disaster
for the state, but, with regulation,
it might prove a valuable; asset in
solving the problem that now has
the best minds puzzled.
The habitual law breaker would
fear the whipping post with a fear
that can never be instilled by roads
or jail terms. W ith the first punish
ment of this kind, his bravado
would be broken: he would realize
that he bad fallen in the sight of
his comrades and his appearance at
at the post, with the public per
mitted to see him, would brand
him as one who had found that
the law is stronger than its mighti-
iest opponents
The whipping post would be used
only in handling offenders who had
shown clearly tneir disrespect 'of
the law. And it might serve a
valuable purpose there.—Twin
City Sentinel
To Bring Out Those
Dollars
A man in the parade of unem
ployed at the W hite House was dis
covered with $10 0 0 in bills stitched
inside his coat. His lot betrayed
no greed for money as such. It
merely expressed the fear, of a man
who, having lost his job, was a-
fraid of losing his money too.
Thousands of persons are in .- the
same state. They do not care to
trust others with their savings. It
is idle to blame them. The uncer
tainty which makes them unwill
ing to leave their hard-eaaned dol
Iars in the custody of others must
be replaced by. certainty A good
start is the president’s reconstruc-.
tion program. By restoring credit,
or society’s faith in itself, it will re
lay the foundation of that financial
credit that bankers deal -in. Credit,
after all, is simply a form of the
Latin word, “ to believe.”
Hoarding is a medieval custom
that went out with the development
of modern banking. Its ,place-was

Seen Near The City
Signs and evidences of spring are
continually . bobbing up. C. B.
Wall, of Davidson county, who
was quoted" a few days ago, about
things he had observed that indi
dated the near approach of spring,
comes forward with this story:
“ On last Saturday Charles Wall
saw a butterfly, a toad, two wild
ducks, a number of turtle doves
and a covey of 1 quail. Now. there
is nothing , strange about seeing
either of the above, but it is not a
usual thing to see butterflies in Jan
uary. Heialso saw -a bat-a few
days before that, and we saw a li
zard today. Tne above mentioned
quail were the first we have seen
this season, as there is none here
like we once had. " Charles is ten
years old, and should be acquainted
with'all the birds of our county,
but when the quail flew up, he
asked, “ W hat kind of birds are
they?” When I was a boy I
would catch from one hundred to
three hundred quail each sea
son in traos and carry them to
Lexington where I would sell tbem.
The first overcoat I ever owned, a
“ Meckintosh.” I bought with
money I received from birds Isold.
I have caught as many as 12 to 18
at one fall of the trap, but where
are your birds todaj ? We had no
law then prohibiting the taking of
quiil in auy way you wished, and
we had thousands of them then,
but none now.” —Twin City Senti

RearAdmiralCbeers.
Rear Admiral Edwin A. Ander
son, retired, of Wilmington, as
sures that talk of war between the
United States and Japan “ is absurd
and foolish.” He is convinced that
Japan doesn’t want war with us or
auy other power of size; that Japan
has been forced into aggressive ac
tion in China by her desperate eco
nomic situation. That is reason
able, but sometimes desperate folks
take desperate folks take chances.
“ W ithout even fighting aEaval en
gagement,” the rear admiral con
tinues, .“ war with the United States
would be fatal to Japan. . . . The
United States fleet, ‘ based on the
Philippines, would starve them out
within a few months.
Even rear admirals, retieed and
otherwise, are sometimes mistaken.
But this rear admiral is taking the
sort of talk we like and we’re hop
ing he’s right about it. Noc anti
cipating war we’re disdosed to agree
with him for several reasous. We’re
also hobing that the Japanese, who
are not_durab by any means, know
the situation is what Admiral And
erson says it is. In that event it
may be expected that tbey will
push us past the limit and t'hen
change'attitude, saving they never
meant us any harm .—Statesville
Daily.
There is no record that there has

AdvertisingIa Adversity
T bebldaphbrism that “ it pays
to advertise” might well be amend
ed to read, “ it pays to advertise
during a depression.”
A survey made by the depart
ment of commerce’s bureau of for
eign and domestic commerce of 358
business and industrials concerns
which have successfully combatled
the depression, discloses that “ in.
creased sales efforts” and "adver
tising policies” "are responsible in
most cases, for this progress and
success. The government’s report
says:
“ It is noteworthy that not one
of the concerns which is included
in this study as having been suc-
essful in combatting the effects of
the depression has diminished its
sales efforts (which of course in
cludes advertising) in order to save
money.”
This ought to be the last answer
to those business concerns which
have taken the position that “ it
does not pay to advertise during a
depression” and have cut their ad
vertising to the bone and paralyzed
their sales efforts. If results count,
here they are. — The Charlotte
News.

To Help Cotton Farmers
Representative Lambeth of the
7th district, along with Represen
tatives Kerr of the 2nd district and
Pulwinkle of the 9th district com
posing a Committee of the North
Carolina Delegation in Congress,
headod by Senator Bailey of North
Carolina and Senator Smith of
South Carolina, called.upon Gener
at Dawes and Mr. Eugene Meyer,
President and Chairman of the
Board of the Reconstruction Fin
ance Corporation, on Thursday of
last week about a plan, hitherto
discussed with the . President, to
. hold off the market 5 0 0 0 ,0 0 0 bales
of cotton in addition to the 7 ,0 0 0,-
0 0 0 bales.that have Jaeen placed in
storagejvitb the aid of the Farm
Board and the banks of the South
ern States. This visit' was made in
the hope that . the . Reconstruction
Finance Corporation would be able
to arrange the necessary financing
to carry over the surplus of 12,000-
0 0 0 bales, from one to three years,
provided the growers would agree
to curtail production during the
year 1932.
General Dawes and Chairman
Meyer assured the Committee that
the Reconstruction Finance Corpo
ration would give every assistance
consistent with the provisions of
the law creating the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation and that
definite, plans would be worked out
with/the Committee-just as rules

Can Wet Be Dry?
Will prohibition divide the Dem
ocratic Party? Increasing agitation
among the wetter Democrats Jlai
brought that question more ahd
more to the foie in recent months.
Facing the most honeful prospect
of national victory that it has seen
in two decades, the party is- alse
confronted by a growing cleavage
in its ranks on the prohibition ques
tion. Its national chairman is out
spoken about his own feais:
" I believe there will be either a
definite split betweeu the Demo
cratic Party of the North and the
Democratic Party of . the South, or
there will be formed a liberal party
in America unless those of us who
love the traditions of the Democrat
ic Party find some common ground
under the teachings of Jefferson up
on which both the wet and dry ele
ments in our party can unite with
out rtsorting to expediencies and
sacrificing the high principals of
thought ”
’ To avoid this catastrophe, Mr.
Raskob, a business man in politics
and an erstwhile Republican, would
be very democratic and very polit
ic; he would put the whole thing
up to the voter. He is among the
wettest of the wets, but he would
not urge his party to come out
frankly for repeal. Nor would be
have any candidate risk his chances
by declaring boldly againsi prohi
bition.
Instead, he offers a device, won-
drbusly fashjoned to avoid such
daugers. This apparatus would be
a platform declaration by the De
mocratic National Convention fa
voring congressional approval of a
constitutional amendment provid
ing for state control of the ..manu
facture, transportation and sale of
intoxicants, this-amendment to be
submitted for ratification, not to
the legislatures, but to special con
stitutional conventions in all the
states.
Mr. Raskob asserts that adoption
of such a 1 plank would not bind De
mocrats to work for ratification of
the amendment, but merely to work
for its submission. Politicians with
out convictious may welcome that
interpretation. But it wilt be hard
for genuine drys to see. They are
no more likely to favor submission
of an amendment to destroy the
Eighteenth Amendment than the
fi iends of womau suffrage would be
to favor submission of an amend-
ment to destroy the Nineteenth A-
mendment. To ask drys to sup
port a move directly tending to
make possible a legalization of li
quor is to ask them to promote a
policy that they conscientiously be
lieve is against the interests of the
nation.—-,The Greek Star.
Representative Lambeth stated
thai-hew as pleased' with the co
operative spirit manifested bv these
high.officials, .of the new $2 ,000 -
0 0 0 ,0 0 0 corporation and that be
was sure that General Dawes and
Mr. Meyer would pursue a liberal
and sympathetic policy in order to
extend the maxium aid to relieve
the wonderful oondrttop of-4he cot
ton growers of the South^ ■; ■
Bees Profitable In On
slow.
Onslow county beekeepers picked
up some Jfio.ooo in money from
the flowering trees, shrubs and-blos-
soms of the county’s swamp land
during the past year.
“ When agriculture extension
work first began in this county
there were only a few farmers who
kept and bees at all,” says C. I,,
dams, extension beekeeper. “ This
week; I received a report, from
county farm agent Neil M. Smith
saying that seven of the leading
beekeepers had made reports of
their year’s work. These men kept
820 colonies of the insects this year
and produced 109,118 pounds-of
honey. -This will sell for $10,9 2 8.
The seven /beekeepers had. '504
Italian queens at the head of their
hives and the average pioduction of
honey per hive was 133 pounds.
Tbe value of production per hive
was $13 31.”

Liqaor Caused It AU.
“ And old corn liquor was til-
■ause of it all ” Which iised to b-
1 saying when it appeared, that Ii
jiior was at the bottom of trouble,
is it so fnquentlv is. It may no
lave been corn liquor in the case a:
bar. Intoxicants are concocted
from a variety of materials in thesi
prohibition times; and whateve*
the variety of the drink it iiiay b
sifelv said that it w asn't “ aged.”
The intoxicants brewed in this pe
riod are consumed while frish. S>
{reat is the demand and the necet-
ify for quick turnover that- tin
iging process has been discarded
is we are informed and believe.
But liquor was not only at thi
bottom of the Lexington tragedy,
it was in reality the cause of tht
whole busiuess. It was only a piut
of licjuor, the two survivors of the
tragedy explaiu, but it was power
ful in action.. As a result of it?
consumption the honored and popu
lar sheriff of Davidson county is
lead, going to his death as much
ay his own hand. The solicitor of
the Guilrord-Davidson judicial dis
irict, at the last election honored
by his fellow citizens with theii
confidence in giving him the most
important, most responsible office
in their gift-r-.that of prosecutor for
the Siate —survives with a wrecked
reputation He resigned the office
he dishonored and the confidence
lie betrayed. If he La I not he
would have been put out. The
tbitd member of the drinking party
that ended so tragically is the least
affected, as the evidence appears.
Bur he was a member of the drink
ing party,-which took place iu his
home, and be has bad his full shari
of responsibility and humiliation
Then there is the innocent vie
tim of the driuking patty, the 18
vear.old-Virginia youth, who ren-_
Jered the three members a kindness
by taking them from tbeir wrecked
car and hauling theril home. Li
quor moved the sheriff to start an
argument with the boy— which the
sheriff never would have done had
he been sober. There would have
been no occasion for it. The officer
shot the boy down. He was criti
cally wouuded and his recovery is
not yet assuied. It was the .attempt
of Solicitor Younce to take the pis
tol from Sheriff Leonard and slop
the shooting that resulted in the
officer’s death. -
Then at the first inquest Solici
tor Younce and W. F. Brinkley,
the latter the third member of the
convivial party, while the innocent
victim;of the diinking bout lay
critically wo'unded, perjured them
selves by swearing before the coro
ner that there was no drinking and
they did not know how the shoot
ing occurred. The impression was
left that the youthful truck driver
had crowded the car. of the sheriff
and his companions off the road
and was responsible for the shoot-,
ing, the coroner’s j.ury so finding
on their testimony. Let us give
these men credit for coming clear,
in statement; listing Brinkley first
because he seemingly was the first
to recognize his duty. When they
told the whole story they exonei a-
ted the Virginia boy. The car was
wrecked-'by a drinking driver. It
passed the truck in safety, it was
the liquor befuddjed brain of the
sheriff that caused him to hold a
grievance against the youili and to
shoot him. which resulted in his
own death.
Sheriff Leonard had a fine record
as a soldier and had a multitude of
friends." He and Solicitor Younce
were the representatives of the
law. They~were given high posit
ions of trust, it being:their.duty- to
I arresi and prosecute law-breakers
I But they refused to recognize the
j obvious fact that it is the first duty
j of a law enforcement officer to ob-
ing you can tell it by hts walk. 1 serve the law. They took to them
Ives the special privilege of using
the outlawed product for their en
tertainment, considered it neces
siry to their pleasure. The drink
was provided by the sheriff. They
paid an awful price for their indul
gence. The sheriff dead, the soli
citor dishonored by the betrayal of
a.trust, under, a load that years of
upright living will be necessary to
remove and which the years can't
entjrelv efface.
But let us remember that the par
ticipants in the Davidson COUiitv
tragedy are not sinners above all
other sinners. The same thing
from the same cause, might oc-ur
in many counties. Other officers
lfink. It is of.common belief, and
the'belief not unfounded in every
instance at least that contraband
liquor coming into the possession
of officeis is not infrequently used
for drinking parties. Not all offi
cers drink nor are all of them guil
ty of the misuse of seized liquor
By no means. But too many offi
cials are guilty of that which kill
ed the Davidson sheriff and wreck
ed the reputation of the district so
licitor.
Will other officials and citizens
take the lesson to heart? Not so
many as you could notice. Liquor
irinkers are obsessed of the notion
ihat whatever m ay happen to oth
ers that these things are impossible
for them-, notwithstanding theii
free handling bf the explosive.
The great majority of the drinkers
have the conceit that they are im
m uneto tragedies that result from
drink; and you couldn't extermi
nate that belief though one rose
from the dead to confront them .—

State-Wide Patrol Cost
ly Proposil ion.
(From TheStatesviIIp Lsnrlmnrl-')
Captain Farmer (called captain Ie-
cause he is the head of the Stale
highway patrol; ought to he a law a-
gainst the misuse of military title*!
sets nut. the highway patrol cost la t
yea" $148,423.6? and that it collect
ed- in license fees, costs and fines
$260 666 82 Lonksgooduntil it is
anal'z°d In the estimate of ceMe*-
tions there is^SeI 610.44 in con*
costs. That went to the court costs.
That went the courts It was not
revenue turned into the government.
When the court costs are dedn<-ted
the total is redocpd to $199 056??.
Of this amount $76,468.67 was fires
levied for violation of traffic laws,
which go to the school fund Fees
collected for license plates, from
motorists who were trying to use the
roads without paying the total loss
required in.the wav of a license tap,
aggregated $122 587 11. With the
total revenue collected being !$199,
056.38 and the cost of the patrol
$148 423.62, it will be observed—or a
hit of figuring will disc nse—that
the cost of collection was practically
75 per cent. That is. it took about
75 cents of each dollar turned in by
the patrol to pay the cost of collect
ing the dollar. That the cost is a
trifl • high, figuring on that basis,
will be admitted without argument.
But' there are several things to
-. insider in this ennn-'ption. The pa
trol wasn’t established solely to col
lect money. - It is a part of its job
to make the tax evaders come to
taw, whi- h service is to be hiyhh
•ommendi-d It is a probably with
in bounds ter guess that but for the
oatml probably $100,000 of the $112,-
587,71 collected from motoris’s .\ii
were trying to evade road toll-
ould not have been collected.
Would not with the present 1 fficial
ictitude of local officers. There
s no good reason whv township con
ttabies, municipal police and sht riff’s-
■eputies should.not collect the toll?
from the delinquent motorists, tak-
ng their pay in the cost that would
ie coming. The different groups
i-tmed cover the state more thor-
■ughly—there is many more of them
-than the patrol. But the local pi
ncers do not consider that their busi
ness; they never hav*-; and until tht
establishment of the patrol one wh<-
was amid to take chances, on'run
ning on an out-nf-iate tag took them
played safe Neither will the local
-fficers bother, as a general proper
r.ion of them played safe Neithei
will the local officers'bother, as a
general proposition, about the in
fraction'of the traffic laws They do
not show, as a general proposition,
any great zeal in checking the - reck
less even inside municipal limits,
where the local police are supposed
to have the field execlus|vely. Since
the attitude of the local officers is
what it is in this respect the high-
wav patrol is very much needed
even if tjie cost of collections is ai-
parently high.
This paaer advocated the establish
ment of the patrol in the hope and
belief that it would help to mak;
the highway safe. So farth e num
ber of casualties has not been ri -
duced. It is very apparent that il
the revenue collected is to be. as an
argument for the maintenance' of
the patrol that collections must bt
increase. The fines ,collected last
year aggregated $76 468.67 This a-
mount could easily be doubled this
year if the patrolmen would stop,
gesturing, telling motorists they
must not do that again—which with
most motorists warned ’-'goes in at
one ear and out at the other”—and
apply force and more force. It isn’t
so much increasing fines that is de
sired, although thescnool fund needs
the money the worst sort, as de-
creasjn'g the hazards of highway
travel. - That will never be done, as
experience has’demonstrated, under
the don’t plan.
We are well aware that the value
of the patrol is not to be measured
entirely in the amount -of money
turned in. These officers render ser
vices that can’t be valued in money
and that do not appear in the figures.
That services is helpful, is worth

Sheriff Jiin -Leonard sank to rise

Iiis predecessor in office, Sheriff
Fred C Sink dropped with a heart
attack and expired. Sheriff ;Leo

to the Davidson Hospital.
Charlie Sink, brother of lhe, late

Sink was stricken up street late in
the afiernoon of election day m
November, 1930. in which election
Sheriff Leonard had defeated him,
was given reviving treatment
and dropped dead on the lawn of
his brother as he started to the
house, after being brought there.
Sheriff Sink and Sheriff Leonard
perhaps set high water' marks for
personal !popularity among all
sheriffs that ever served Davidson
county. Thev were about the same
age, were brother Masons and

physical build. A weakened heart

small children, collided with a coupe
driven by Miss Ethel Frye, of Char

is said, and all occupants irjured
more or less.
miss Frye was not seriously ir«

damages in the. amount of $2,250,

answered with counter claims 'de
manding $10,000 damages for Mrs.
Powell and $1,000 for her husband
for damages'to his car and other ex

The wreck occurred on North Main
street in front of the residence of

valne of the patrol will decrease in
public estimation. It will appear as
having failed in the very purpose

the collections are important, the
money reports are also depreciated
when the high cost of collection is
considered as it will be. -

islature.
■ #W.' Kerr Scott, of Burlingrtor,
master of the North Cirolina Grange
8 &ids out an earnest appeal to
Grange members and other North
Carolina farmers. In part he says:
“ The North Carolina State Grange,
at its meeting in Winston Salem last
fall," overwhelmingly adopted an ad
vanced program of taxation relit-f
with the following as one of the
cheif planks:
“The Grange endorses the M ic
Lean law and demands that the
state carry out the law in fully sup-
supporting the schools for the con
stitutional term of six months by re
venue other than an.ad valorem tax.
"The time has now come when, if
this policy is-t’o be carried into ef-
fect..the voters of the btate must be
carried intoeflect, the voters of the
state must be on guard both as to
candidates for the Legislature and
candidates for G ivernor. The Grange
as an organization, does not push
personal candidacies but it will stand
clear-cut for policies needed to in
sure^ square deal for agricultuie.
and urges individual members to se
Iect the right candidates, men of a
bility, character and progressive
views.
“ More farmers should be sent tn
the. next G“neral Assembled In
every oounty there are farme s * ho
would render able service if drafted
by their fellow citizens We ha\e
too lontr tried leaving our interests
wholly in the keeping of other or
cupation*. Let us see m ire farmers
in the Senate chamb-r and in thf-
House when the 1933 Letfislature
meets.
"In any case, we need more legis
lators who are determined to Btop
the confiscation of farm land by ex
cessive taxation, but who will do this
without starving the school and
stunting all progress. As the Grange
Baid last fall, 'We mnst have new
sources of taxation and we must sup
port a tax on luxuries as being less
objectionable than a general sales
tax’.”
February An Eventful
Month.
Union Republican.
Although February is the shortest
month in the year and generally the
worst one as far as weather is con
cerned it is one of the most historic
months of the twelve. It is the on y
month with four weeks of seven days
each although every four years Leap
Year gives the month an extra day.
The two greatest events of A
merican history occurred in. Fsb
ruary, the birth of two of her great-
e.t men. George Washington was
was born on February 22,1732, and
77 vears later lacking 10 davs, Apra
ham Lincoln, first saw the light of
day in a little cabin in the Kentucky
hiiis or. February 12, 1809. This year
the 200th anniversary of the birth oi
Washington will be celebrated all
over>America.
■ ^O tber memorable events occurring
in;February are the United State?
Bevefring diplomatic relations with
Germany in 1917. the destruction in
Havana harbor of the Battleship
Maine, in 1898, which was an indirect
cause of our, war with Spain, the
opening of the Panama Pacific Ex
position in 1915 and many other
events.
' One other President, William
Henry Harrison was born in Feb
ruary and served the shortest term
.of‘any of our Presidents, dying in
just one month after taking the oath
of office.
r. 'Two of our Presidents died in Feb
ruary, John Quincy Adams, who,
after serving as President was elect-
' ed to Congress and died in the Capi-
' tol while serving in that body. He
was lsnowh throughout the country

other President to pass away in Feb

Democrat Smites Max
Gardner.
John M. Brewer, president of the
defunct bank of Wake F oest, was
convicted of receiving deposits, in
the bank knowing it to be insol
vent. The offense is a felony. Th*
evidence in Superiorcourt wascleai
and convincing. The defense of
fered no testimony. Tudge Barii-
qill refused to make the punish
ment a fiue. Brewer was sentenced
from one to three years in Stati
prison. The Supreme court 'af
firmed the judgment of the court
below. There was no question of
guilt. Nobody pretends, that tht
man was not guilty uuder the law
But Brewer had that which ; is
more powerful than laws, than
courts and juries and all the law
enforcement machinery there is
He was a prominent citizen, espec
ially prominent politically. He had
been chairman of Democratic com
mittees, county and congressional
district and member of State com
mittee—a political leader. Served
111 the legislature ot 1927; was a
member of the State prison board.
He had personal friends many and
tremendous political pull. Delega
tions overwhelmed Judge Barnhill
and Governor Gardner. They found
a way out in the conclusion- that
there “ was no moral turpitude” in
Brewer’s act. He was not charged
with taking money for his own
use, although he was responsible
on paper at the bank for more than
$18,000 when it failed and the firm
in which he was a partner was
overdrawn more than $3,0 0 0, while
Brewer’s cash in the bank amount
ed to 23 cents and the entire cash
in the bank was $781 9 0. So Brew
er was paroled without entering
State prison.
It was political pull that saved
Brewer—that and nothing else
But for the political strength which
overcame the governor “ lack of
nio’.al iui pillule” would not have
appeased in the proceedings. Gov
ernor Gardner. • realizing that his
positionin this matter is vulner
able, offers this:
I am going to do something I
have never done before, but I do
not consider that I am establishing
a precedent, because this man has
committed no act of moral turpi
tude and I want it distinctly un
derstood that no inau charged with
a breach of trust, embezzlement or 1
false entries can hope for clemency
from me before beginning his sen
tence and only then if the judg
ment is such as to shock my con
science.
But Governor Gardner bas set a
precedent and proclaiming that he
hasn’t doesn’t change ihe situation.
No man 1Vharged with a breach of
trust, embezzlement or false en-
Vtries” can hope for clemency from
him until he has done time. And
pray what is keeping a bank open
knowing it is insolvent, knowing,
the bank is broke and likely to be
compelled to close its doors at any
time—Brewer was convicted of that
and taking the money of confid
ing depositors who are deceived in
to believing the bank is sound, but
a “ breach of tfusl? ’ It may not
be that in law, but it is that in
common sense and morn's. The
offence of whica Brewer was coti
victed-was made a felony to protect
depositors,-;to deter officials of
banks from deceiviug the pejjji|p
by keeping open an insolvent --in'-
stitution and taking : their money.
Disclosures after multitudes- of in
dividuals and some communities
had been financially wrecked by
failing banks brought out in many
instances here in North. Carolina
within the past year" that, banks
had continued in business after
they were known to be insolvent.
lActs such as that committed by
!.Brewer have contributed more to
ntiancial wreck in our State—and
Trohably. elsewhere—than anything
else/. -
But the long and short of it is
that Brewer had been an influen
tial political leader and that saved
him. Sp strong was the political,
influence in his behalf that two at-
rempts at indictment failed In the
irst instance indigrant depositors
•tailed Brewer and other officials of
the bank into the recorder’s court
it Wake Forest. T hejudgeof that
rourtsaid that while it appeared to
■lim that the bank-had been insal
••ent for a couple of years that it
ilso appeared that the bank super
vising agency—at that time the
•orporaiion commission—was well
t ware of its conditiou and had al
lowed it to continue business.
Theiefore the defendants were dis
charged on the ground that, hav
ing acted under the authority of
the corporation commission, they
were not liable. Of course any
body knows that nobody has any
authority ta set aside a criminal
statute or issue permits for its vio
lation. But that served the recor
der judge as an excuse. Then a
grand jury refused to indict. But
a new solicitor appeared on the
scene and doubtless some of the
outraged citizenry became quite
vocal. Anvway Brewer was indic
ted and convicted. The State’s evi
dence was not contradicted, couldu’ i
be. It was in evidence that Brew
er bad said, after the bank was
closed, that the bank had been
broke for two years; that he bad
bought too much laud, 00 • much
cotton and stored it.
But Brewer held the winning
cards. Personal, political a n d
church influence worked mightily
tor him, and successfully. A, per
soual friend and supporter of Gov
ernor Garduer 1 and one who es
teems his administration highly,
regrets that he was not strong e-
iiough to resist. But he failed in
a high test; and to us his failure
in this case is iudefehsible. He
permitted one with powerful friend-
ships to indace him to set the law
aside for personal reasons, : It is
cause for regret.~Statesville Daily,
The First Auto.
A New England newspaper matl,
examing old newspaper files the
other day, discovered that one
Ioseph Manton 1 of Providence, act
ually invented an antoinoDile as
Iongagoas 1866; a steam driven
car that was crude, cumbersome
and awkward, but that managed
nevertheless, to accomplish a fairly
lengthy cross-country road trip
without mishap.
Mantou, the files related,, was
highly proud of Iiis contrivance:
but he saw no commercial possibi
lities in it and'eventually stored his
car and gave up the idea.
Before the great development of
I he. auto could be possible, the in
ternational combustion engine had
to be invented. And yet—suppose
that Manton’s car had caught the
imagination of science and industry,
so that the research and experiment
that ultimately pertect-the gasoline
niator could have oeeu applied to
the small steam engine; would we,
today, be driving steam cars?—Ex.• . ------- ■—-I-—‘ ■ / " •

Smith Complicates The
Race.
Al Sm ith's refusal to eliminate
himself from the ranks of Demo
cratic presidential possibilities com-
plicates the political situation and
creates new hazards in the" effort*
to elect a party candidate as leader
of the county for the next fotir
years.- His statement is of type
the Republicans desired, and is un
questionable ga good boost for she
Hoover campaign.
Smith’s statement that lie will ac
cept the nomination if offered to
him, and will neither support nor
oppose the condidacy of any aspit*
aut for the nomination, is in keep
ing with what had been expected
by a large majority of the people
during the past few ' months.
Smith’s refusal some months ago,-
and during the intervening days,
to withdraw the picture as an ac
tive candidate, has led to the be
lie t all along that he did not con
sider himself eliminated from the
race, and would be the man to con
sider most seriously when actual
campaigning started.
It is hardly to be expected that
Sfliith1 should he receive the nomi
nation, could win the election in
1932. ,AU the bitterness of the past
campaigu will likely be revived;
the religious prejudices that were so
predominant at that time may well
be expected to be injected into the
:ssues~again; the lack of harmony
in the party as various factions bat
tle for their fayorites; and the fact
that th i prohibition question will
combine to make the race an espe
cially difficult one.
AU those questions were befo e
1 be people in the last campaign,
and although Smith received a
greater popular vote taan had ever
been given a Democratic candidate,
he ran second, and the prevailing
opinion today is that he will run
second again it, he is'nominated by
the Democratic party.
The Hoover administration has
been a rather unpopular one but his
party leaders are solidly behind
him, and with a united orgatnza
tion, bis renomination is taken ior
granted-. That his election will he
aided by- the possibilities of Smith’s
nomination is hardly to be denied;
and thus the battle for the Demo
crats becomes even harder by
Smith’s refusal to actively with
diaw from the picture.
The Democrats can hardly hope
Io win with Smith as their candi
date. Another vigorous leader,
strongly supported by ,Smith and
his friends as well as by the entire
party, will stand a much better
chance of election.—Salisbury Post.
The Fat Is In The Fire.
Al Smith’s announcement that he
is willing to be a Democratic ' candi
date for President has brought , con
sternation to some folks and plea-:
sure to others. Southern and West
ern Democratic politiciona are very
much upset over it'and_ Republiceins
are tickled to death. Governor
Roosevelt’s follfws are particularly
worried and they have a right to be.
Smith’s candidacy probably meats
the defeat of Roosevelt. Smith will
have enough delegates to keep Rnost -
velt from being -nominated" and of
course the Rodsevelc supporters Can
block Smith’s nomination. The
chances . are that' some one else be.
sides either Smith or Roosevelt will
get the nomination.; pnsibly. Newton
Baker who is on^of'the ablest ■- men
in the party. The prospects are that
there will be a bittercontest in the
convention and in the:primaries. Mr.
Smith has certainly thrown the fat
in the lire—Beaufort News.

. Tbe Newspaper.
The need for a live., euergeti'
newspaper.to any town or count-
is absolutely impossible of estima
tion. There are so many ways thai
the good newspaper promotes the
interests of the county and the in
dividual citizens where it is publish
ed that itw ould be like trying tc
number the sands of the sea to enu
merare them. Ii is true friends ol
the city or town and every resideni
thereof and stands always ready to
fight the hattles even of individual
citizens in a way that no other a
gencv have either the nerve or tin
courge to doi It stands as a great
bulw.ark of defense for the city anr
for the people. But this is onh
one feature.
There’s another that is seldoni
given niuch thought and that iht
newspapers of any community are
a paying investment for such place
as industrial ins.’itutions. People
welcome with open atms and lour
acclaim any factory costing a few
thousand dollars and thev think tht
town is wonderfully fortunate in
securing a plant that will give em
ployment to a number of people
Sometimes tbpy even put up a boi -
us to secure such a plant. There
are many newspers which give em
ployment to a nnnibtr of people
and nothing is thouyht of it Tin
money that comes to the paper is
sp»nt in the town or city where ii
is published. None of it goes away
except tor. ink and paper, so to
speak, and some other small sup
plies that eanntJt be bought af
hiirie. The newspaper is essential
ly a home institution. It woik.s
day and night to buiid up its home
tjw n and state, and spends its
money freely with home people. It
is publish on strict business princi
pies these days, and that is the rea
son for the growth and prosperity
that has conie to mauy papeis the
past few years.
" As a business enterprise, a good
newspaper is about the best indus
try that any tovvn bas, and its pub
lishers ask nothing but a square

A good deal is being said all-over
,the country about taxes being high,
and^axes are high. One thing that
m ikes high taxes is he employment
of people to do unecessarv Work by
a government, state, cpunty or
city.- Every legislature that:meets
creates new jobs that must be paid
out of tax money. Manv of them
do iiot add to the efficiency “of the
government, but do- increase the
tix burden. It does litile good to
complain about taxes as long as un
necessary jobs are constantly being
created to pay political debt. The
most difficult thing in the world is
to abolish a useless 10b once it has
been created.

Nearly a-year ago a woman cjkerk
in the state revenue departmenttwas
charged with abtraction of approxi
mately $5,000of the state fund?; The .
•iiscovery.made her ill, she waiir al
lowed to resign from the service and
•ihe has.never been brought to trial.
It is announced from Raleight"that
she is to be allowed to repiy the a-
mount of her alleged defalcation and
the criminal part of the affiir is-not
to be further prosecuted. It would
do no good if it were for her father
ii a member of the state Democratic
ring one of the special "pets” of
tne. Governor and if the voung wi -
man would not he allowed to plead
n-ilo contendre she would never see
the inside of a prison for there is a
“ Bevo” Governor and a real G.ivei-
nor,standing with pen in hand ready
to wide out the sentence of the court.
And in the meantime Wade County
citizens who bad no powerful friends
in tho Governor’s mansion or at
court, caught in the meshes of the
law even if onlv a cheap, article was
stolen, gets a term on the roads. And
yet there are some people in tbjs en
lightened age who say ther? is
justice in the land and the law-js no
respector of persons. But they did
not take into account that a bucket
of "whitesash” was always at hand
ready-to apply to a dishonest Demo
cratic office holder.—Union Republi
can. ' •
If everyone would spend as much
energy talking up better times, as
they §0 talking depression, there
would be a lot less depression..

There are all kinds of sorry
folks iu the world, but in onr opin
ibn the liar is the sorriest one of
all. ■_________
Newton Baker says he is not a
candidate for president. Well, Al
Smith hasn’t said, anything of the
kind so far as we have been able
to find out. __________
Two hundred and fort v-nine Re
publican voters were still living in
this section last fall. They.w ill
inarch to the primary in June and
vote against any man who labels
them democrats.
It seems that there are a lot of
rascals holding ' political jobs
throughout the country. It is hard
to try and convict a big politician,
it matters not how crooked he or
she happens to be. .
Hayes Foster, Republican State
Secretary, who was on trial at
Greensboro for soliciting funds on
U. S. property for political pur
poses, has been acquitted. Well,
we have no comments to make
JosephusDanieIs has at last an
nounced that he will not he a can-
'' didate for Governor. . This, no
doubt brings a feeling of intense re
lief to two or three of the boys
who had already thrown their hats
in the ring.
, The cheap politician who can be
^bought for a song or a few square
ir.eals is generally not worth any
thing to the feilow who.buys him.
W e’ll bet the fellow we are talking
about had to borrow his neighbor’s
paper to read this.
The Davie farmers must mean to
'Cut their tobacco acreage very
"materially this year. We have
traveled over various sections of
the county and haven’t seen a plant
bed. Ouiy afew years ago plant
beds were as thick in Davie county
.as mosquitoes were m New Jersey.
From preseht indications 1933
Isii’t going to be a dry year. The
ground hasn’t been dry enough to
:Work b u t. a fe# days at a time
,since last December. Farmers are
,getting very, anxious for the sun to
■slime long enough to give them a
chance- Jo .get some plowing and
planting done
It is onjy 3 little more than three
TDODths until the June primary.
Up to the hour of going to press
:the boys seem to be iu’no hurry a-
bout coming out in the open. Sev
eral are said to be out on the' high
ways and hedges snaking -bands
and telling their friends that they
-iuay.be iu the race for certain of-
.,fices, -
We. read a few days ago in our
'favorite afternoon daily, The Twin-
..City- Sentinel, that one N. S. Mul-
. lican. of Stokes county had thrown
i.his. bat in the ring for democratic
State Senator for the district com
posed of Stbkes and Surry coun
ties. S u rely th isis not the same
Nl S.'M uilican that held a )ob in
D avie county as engineer some years
' ago under a Repnblican ad.ministra
tion? :W e woinder.
V - . . ..
Bob Reynolds has opened his
campaign, jand from now untii June
. the Republicans won’t need to say
'anything mean about the tlerno
crats—it will be democrat against
democrat, and Frank Grist will add
anything that-: the other fellows
leaye out. Bob is.running on a wet,
platform. while Morrison, his big-
gest opponent, is running on-a dry
platform but voted for a wet man
for President in the last election.
From the number of people in
; this section who attend auction sales
■ and judging from the-high pnc,s
;rthat second uatid households iRords
. are bringing, we have been led to
t h e conclusion that there is no pan
ic in D av ie c o u n tv . W h e n th e

To Davie Farmers^
J. C. Sanford, of this city, has sup
plied us with the following informa-
lior», which will be of interest to
many Davie county farmers.
‘ There has been, established at
North Wilkesboro a Cheese Plant
which is desirous' of getting all . of
the milk they possibly can from sur
rounding countisp. This cheese plant,
offers a market for milk in unlimited
quanities. It offers a market for
milk to the small producers who have
-a d«’Z^n cows and who desire tu send
off five to ten gallons of miik per day
without going to the.expense.of buy
ing boilers, cementing iheir milking
sheds, etc.
Davie couniy is supplying a large
quanity of milk to the Forsyth Diiry
of Winston-Salem but this milk has
to be produced in accordance, with!
the health requirements of the city
of Winston-Salem and these pro
ducers are inspected from time to'
time by an agent of the Health Dept,
and they are required to have their
nows tested each year and other ex
penses which make it unprofitable
for the small man to try and supplv
this market which is already over-
supplied.”
The cheese plant at North Wilkes-
boro is buying milk that is produced
under ordinary farm conditions and
their only requirement i3 that milk
be clean and sweet. The price paid,
we understand, is 30c per lb , bui-
terfat contained iir the milk which
will run the average Davie county
milk from $1 25 to $1 50 per cwt.
from which there is a deduction of
25c per cwt. for hauling.
A route has already been started
In Dav:e county for hauling milk to
North Wilke-sboro. Thisroute comes
!out of Winston-Snlem to. the Davie
Filling: Station at the forks of the
Farmington - Wi ston - Salem ro.ad:
T‘ e Wuck then goes from this point
to Farmington, w«st to Pino, then
to Cana, to Holman '3 Cross Roads
and thence north on route 80 to
North Wilkesboro, This truck is
opererated by M '. james Burgess bf
Winston:Salem and he anticipates
putting on another truck very socn
which -will also come from Winston-
Silem turning off the hard surface
ro^d just this side of the river going
b/ the ReynoIdsLybrook farm,
thencelto Advance, Bixby, Comatzer,
Fork Chu'.ch, Greasy .C >rner, thence
to Mocksville out by Hardison’s Cha
pel to County Line and thence to
Harmony and on to North Wilkes
boro.
■ Now is the opportunity for the
men who owns cows to get a little
money every two weeks instead, of
waiting until the fall of the year
when the crops are harvested, The
on y thing required to'go . into the
milk business in suppljing this, plant
is to have a half dozen cows and two
or three milk cans and while IOc per
sral. for milk is not very much, it is,
we believe, equal to 5c cotton.
W eareunder the impression that
anyone desiring the skim milk re
turned can get. this back by paying
the hauling charge.
Long^ Staple Cotton
Brings 16c Pound.
. Memphis, Tehn., Feb. 18 —A
lot of middle white cotton with
staple length from one and one half
to oue and ' three-fouths inehes
brought f 6 cents a pound here yes
terday. ■
• It was some of the longest staple
ever produced in this section and
was sold to Williams and Company
of Memphis by D. D. Dumas and
Company from lands near India
nola. Mifs., for shipment lo North
Carolina for use,iu making under-
wear. ... ■■

There are m an v good friends of

the fact we only met one Angel)
while there. Our old 'democratic
friend Dr. Bell. Gaither, seemed to
be enjoying life to the fullest ex
tent. We hope that the doctor will
move over into Clias. Blackwelder’s
party this year and be on the win
ning side. Harmonv has one of the
'argest and best equipped school
buildings in this section, and all are
proud of this handsome seat of
learning. There are a number ..of
business houses in Harmony, con
sistiug of dry goods and grocery
stores, furniture and hardware,
good garages, a banking house,
barber shop, dental parlor, and an
excellent physician, There ar€
many pietty homes in this well-
located town, and also an ttp-lo
date flour mill which we came near
overlooking. Dr. G iither told us
that he enjoyed our Sunday school
lesson which appears weekly in
TheRecoid betterthan any othei
one feature.' Charles BlaCkwelder
said he always read the news of 30
years ago .first, as it reminded him
of his courting days in Davie in
the long ago. We hope to visit
this progressive little towd again in
the near future when we will take
time to look up marry of our friends
which we missed last week.

How to Fail In Business
The Mellette county News pnb .
Iishes the following excellent set
of directions on how to fail in busi
ness:' "
‘‘A trade publ’cation points out
;ihat according to Bradstreet’s re
port for’1930. 95 per cent of all
business Iailures were non adver
tisers One does not besitale a
m:n ite about insuring his borne or
olave ot business itsell? The sue
cessful business man is the one who
goes after business; the failure is
one who sits around and waits for
business'to' come to him .. Brad
street’s percentage shows that the
g iiug business man is an adver
tiser.”
A reader complains to ns that a
Jack the Peeper, trampled the flow
er beds the other night. Our only
suggestion in a case of this kind is
that the flower beds be moved to
some other portion of the lot next
spring.

Jr Delays That Vex
S1Governor Gardner and the exe
couDSil,; Tvre C. Taylpr 1
rirednot be surprised one of these
dtfys if they he.ar that a lot ot Dav
idson'county citizens are right sore j
Iy vexed over the numerous delays
in carrying out the order of the
court in the cafe of Dudley Mooreli
'This defendantwas given a fair
and proper trial, in an atmosphere
that from all appearances at least I
was as calm a dighified as might be
found in anv count. in the stale at
any time. It appeared that the
judge from the bench was exceed
ingly careful to protect every right
tttfet was the due of the defendant.
The evidence was overwhelming
aid-convincing and the defendant
sit. mute and denied not a word of
it ? He had thevright not to go on
the stand if he so chose, and the
judge gave the jury the customary
careful instruction that his choice
should not be held against him:
Certainly nothing could be counted
in his favor though.
As Mnore was being taken to
Ralligh after his trial, conviction
and sentenence to death he told the
officers who had him in charge that
the jury- that found him guilty had
heard the truth. He was then cer
tainly in no fear from anvotie, for
be had previously been given con
vincing demonstrations of the de
termination of the oflicers of this
county to shield him from any harm
from outside the law. If all the
truth had not beeu told he could
have told it then.
T hesuprem ecourtof the srate.
a body that is extremelv careful of
every right of a person under the
shadow of death, heard his appeal
on its merits and dismissed it. The
jjdjje of superior court who heard
the evidence upon which Moore was
convicted heard the motion for a
n :w trial on the grounds of the pur
ported discovicted ot after evid
ence. This after evidence, which
comes only from the mouth of
Moore, has been supported by an
iota of substantial corroboration, so
far as the public is informed.
If something new and substan
tial has been, discovered at Raleigh
then the public. here in Davidson
countv ought to be informed with
out delay. If thedelay is a case
only of legal twiddling they aie
"also entitled to that information.
The entire setting in this case,
the confession of Moore and the
overwhelmingly corroborative evid
ence placing the killing on him all
.narked it as about as brutal and
inexcusable murder as one might
conceive. If Dudley Moore is not
a proper candidate for the electric
fihair then no other man or woman
iShdttld be premitted to sit therein.
' *Tiiat is, unless something very sub
stantially different from the facts
Sd generally known here has beeu
actually proven;

By A. T. Grant, Atty,
One/statesman tells us', that not?
withstanding ail of the compaint
occasioned by the expenditures for
good roads, more money is spent in
every state for tobacco than is spent
for good roads.: Here is a chance
to either show up the statistician or
our foolishness. As a matter of
fact if all wastes and foolish, and
unnecessary expenditures were cut
there would be plenty of money for
everything necessary even in these
times of depression.
- We have!noticed that the home
town-boys who go away and make
good; are not always.the boys that
the home town folks thought would
make a mark in the world. On the
other hand many of the boys that
the folks back home had picked
out for winners have been a disap
pointment, ' The old theory that
you can't tell how. far a frog can
tell how far. a frog can bop by look
ing'at him, seems to also hold good
with the futm e perfjrmance of the
home town boys’—Ex.
