MENTS
DON'T WORRY!

To the Editor:
Once we have mastered worry, we
have once added another word to our
life, a word in which fear and trembl-
ing of the spirit has no existence.
How we long sometimes to be free
of worry. 1t weighs us down and in
our weakness we give way to it. Then
worry becomes jubilant. 1t gloats over
our misery. Yet if we give the matter
a moments thought, worry is abso-
lutely and completely inept.
We are creatures of habit. We easily
form habits that are not good for us.
Worry is the prime one. Habits of
happiness are just as easy. Try push
ing worry aside, out of your mind, out
of your life, the next time it comes
up. 1t may beat you. When the next
worry pushes its way into your
thought, try again. You'll find resist
ing it is not 50 hard. Eventually worry
will give you up as a bad job.

Gives Seven Points
For Crop Farming

The coming year does not promise
much in cash returns for farming but
plans may be made SO that further
losses may be avoided and the farm
made ready for better days to come.
This is the opinion of Enos c. Blair,
extension agronomist at State College,
who probably travels to more differ
ent farms in North Carolina than any
one person in the State. Mr.. Blair has
worked out seven items which the wise
farmer will consider this winter in
making plans for the. new crop year.
The first step, of necessity, must be a
reduction in the acreage to cotton, to-
bacco, peanuts Or other cash crops.
The other six are built on this primary
action.
Where livestock is the main source
of income, more use should be made
of home grown feeds. Such feeds
should be substituted for those COM
monty purchased and only those which
cannot be grown Or exchanged for To-
cally should be purchased. The live
at-home program should be enlarged,
says Mr.. Blair until it is even o
complete than it was in 1881. Next,
farmers should be careful about buy
ing commercial fertilizers next season.
Only those adapted to a particular
crop On a particular soil should be US
ed and even then, the money should
be borrowed if possible and cash paid
for the mixtures. Rather than 20 into
debt for fertilizers next year, it would
be wiser to reduce the acreage Of those
crops requiring heavy applications and
increase the acreage of those requiring
a less amount.
The final three suggestions offered
by Mr.. Blair, call for the planting of
more legumes wherever possible, the
use Of larger fields and the planting
of more land to pasture.

gratlating you upon your program te

Widening of Liberty street between
Main and Church indicates your re-

number Of unemployed. 1t is an ex-
cellent undertaking, thanks to your
foresight.
Jobless workers do not want charity;
they want work-an opportunity to
earn a living. This is made possible
through your plans and projects. I
trust this will be only one step in
your plan to aid the needy this win
ter.
If given the proper cooperation
and support of landowners and citi-
ZEN of this city, 1 feel hat other
similar projects can be soon gotten
underway.

EXPRESSIVE
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Our colored brethren sometimes
coin a good word. Here is one that is
in current use by the colord insurance
companies and lodges that is all right.
1t is the word "unfnancial." When a
member is in default in the payment
of his premiums or dues, so that his
policy or benefit certificate has lapsed,
or his rights Hereunder has been
suspended, he is said to be ''un-
financial" with the company or lodge.
It does not mean that he is insoIvent.
The meaning is aBour he s.meas
delinquent but the word is a little
more expressive. If a member dies
while delinquent in his payments, his
representative is apt to get a letter
saying hat Brother So-and-So was
unfnancial with us at the time of his
death and there is nothing due under
the policy"

THE KILLING GOES ON

AS regards the proposal to cut out the fight
ing in Manchuria until the situation can be
examined by impartial judges, the japanese
position has been explained in these words:
Acceptance is unthinkable: 1t would
mean the total surrender of the japanese
principles involved.
Well, if that is the way they feel about it,
not much can be done. When statesmen be-
gin to drag principles into an international ar
gunent it is safe to predict that presently a
lot of people are going to be killed. Principles,
to paraphrase DR.. Johnson's remark about pa
triotism, are the last refuge of a statesman who
is determined that the butchery shall proceed.

ut is the function of the State university
not only to find its bits of truth and teach the
truth gathered from scholars everywhere but
to carry the truth to the people that they may
take it into their lives and help to make it pre-
vail in the world of affairs. The State uni
versity comes from the people and should go
to the people.
1.-THE intellectual life of the university
should be ~quickened by contact and inter-
change with the people. They have a common
destiny in the adventure and building a nobler
commonwealth. The State university cannot
as the university of the people be an %institu-
ton of a class whether based on blood, money
or intellectual background. The State univer-
sity can never lose the common touch with
out treason to its own nature and without dry
ing up the springs from which flow the living
waters of its own life. There should be no low
ering of standards in the extension process.
Its standards and opportunities shall be sec
ond to none and open to all to the end that
we build a commonwealth in which shall be
preserved democracy without vulgarity and
excellence without arrogance.
eAlong with culture and democracy must
20 freedom. Without freedom there can be
neither true culture nor real democracy. With
out freedom there can be no university. Free
dom in a university runs a various course and
has a wide meaning. 1t means the freedom OF
students with their growing sense OF resPon-
sibiity and student citizenship to govern them
selves in campus affairs and the right of law
full assembly and free discussions by any stu
dents of any issue and views whatsoever.
'For the faculty, freedom means the right
of the faculty to control the curriculum, scho-
1astic standards, and especially matters per-
tanning to intellectual excellence; to teach and
speak freely, not as propagandists, but as
scholars and seekers for the truth = = :; to
organize this own independent association for
discussion and statement of views, and as an
organic part of the university help share uni
versity policies by votes, representation, adj
vice, and, may we hope, a larger sharing in
the life of the university and the people of the
state. = = =
''Finally, freedom of the university means
freedom of the scholar to find and report the
truth honestly without interference by the
university, the State or any interest whatso-
ever"

DIR. GRAHAM'S CONCEPTION OF A
STATE UNIVERSITY

In his inaugural address DR.. Frank P. Ora
ham maintained his excellent standards as a
speaker and thinker. He declared in terms that
could not be misunderstood for liberty in the
search for truth and dedicated himself to
make the University Of North Carolina a
stronghold of learning and an outpost of light
and liberty along the frontiers of mankind
Thus DR.. Graham met the expectation Of
those who seek the truth and who are irked by
restrictions, in any manner imposed, on their
search. But even more striking and more i'm
portant, was his conception of the functions
of a State university. Here is what he said:
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1931-11-27

Hospitality is the disposition to entertain
with generous kindness. 1t is the sort OF thing
for which most men would like to be known
and consequently they are continually asking
their wives why they should not invite a few
friends in for a meal or similar entertainment.
And SO, after continuous urging, they fin
ally persuade their wives to have the friends
in. They do not stop at that but otter their
cooperation by suggesting that before the
guests appear it would be a good thing if the
wives were to give the downstairs a thorough
cleaning, as they would not like the guests to
imagine that their wives are careless about ap-
pearances.
Then they leave the marketing to the dis
erection of the wives, but they agree to buy
candies for the table while they are down town
and thus relieve their wives OF that annoy
ance.f And just to make certain that every
thing is going all right they inquire OF their
wives what they bought and grow alarmed tor
fear there will not be enough to go around.
And they do not think that the our course
should have been omitted just because there
is a salad course, and offer precedents OF din
ners they have eaten at other peoples houses
to prove it.
So by the time the guests arrive they are
very nervous, as they feel a great sense of re-
sponsibiity. But when everything goes off all
right and there is plenty for everybody to eat
and the guests seem to enjoy themselves, the
men feel a natural pride in what has been &C
complished and are glad that they have earn
ed a name for providing gracious hospitality.
And sometimes they tell their wives that they
are satisfied with the results and point out
that, after all, entertaining is not much of a
bother.
But when the bills come in-my, what a
fuss they make!

MR.. EHRINGHAUS AND PUBLIC
EDUCATION

Education is the life preserver of democ-
racy," said J. c. B. Ehringhaus, Elizabeth City
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, in a recent address to a group of
the States teachers, after having made the
statement that "What we are all seeking
what the times demands a sane economy
with no impairment of efficiency"
1.-The primary function Of the public school
is not to grace or advantage the individual,
but to train citizens for the State" he said.
st is the only sure means of providing an en-
lightened electorate-of insuring an intelligent
capacity for elf-government. Out of this
philosophy our public school system was born;
upon this theory it was founded, and for this
end, our Constitution recognizes it as a funda-
mental activity of the government, and guar
antees its preservation for all generations.
'And now the State has recognized that this
constitutional provision creates an obligation
which it-and not the municipal SUBDIVISION
of government-must and should bear to the
extent of the guaranteed term. This commit
ment is final. No citizen dare assail it or deny
whatever is necessary to carry it into effect.
There may be differences of opinion as to
means and measures and what constitutes equal
distribution of the burden, but all are COM
mitted to the obligation of provision.
II for one regard this obligation as of para
mount importance, not only as a demand based
on human need (which should always out
weigh mere property considerations but as
a function of government just as fundamen-
tai as executive, legislative or judicial activity
ssThe school must and shall be kept open in
efficiency.
II invite your consideration in calm and
labored judgment Of every phase of the edu-
%cational problem. I call upon the llmitless re-
serves of your fine and oft-displayed patriot
ism-I luminous you anew to the comrade-
ship of consecrated effort for a cause which
is close to the hearts of us all and which is the
palladium of our liberties-the just heritage
of our children"
Relating that he cast his first vote for i'm
provement of local school facilities, Mr.. En-
ringhaus said that "Since that time l have
found pleasure in giving of my time and ef-
forts to the cause. May I not then" he con-
cluded, count myself an humble soldier in
the ranks and salute you as my captains?"

commented that Il have said moth
ing whatever about my plans and

own way and IN due time"
Meanwhile, the republican politi-

number OF the party chieftains have
urged Mr.. Curtis to stand again for
the vice-p-esidency as a matter OF
party welfare.
While there are rumors that Mr..
Hoover desires some other candi-
date as a running mate. It is general
lv agreed that he has given no in
dication OF II. MANY names OF those
close TO the president are mentioned

But the republican leadership is
known also to be concerned at the
reaction which would follow a de-

cast his fortunes on a state race for
