Certainly Not War
But, as Russia was careful to
explain to the League of Ma
tions, sitting in no little con-
Germ at Geneva, this was not
war. !. The League was more
than pleased to have such as
surances from the Soviets, and
Y promptly issued a 5,000-word
statement to the effect that the
power of the Kellogg-Briand
Treaty and of the League to
prevent war had once more
been demonstrated.
"At this juncture, France be-
trayed some pettishness about
the Russian pleasure trips at
the expense of Frances allies,
Poland and Rumania. France.
in fact. sent what would have
been called in the bad old
days, powerful expeditionary
forces to both the Polish and
Rumanian fronts to use a de-
liciously quaint old term.
A French Came
mo warfare was INDUCED in.
AS proof of that, we have the
testimony of the League of Ma
tions' official records. Some
unofficial fighting occurred
purely grudge affairs-With the
net result that the Russians
lost about $4,000 men, while
the allies as some newspa-
pers and magazines were tact
less enough to call the Franco
Polish Rumanian delegations,
suffered casualties amounting
to 16,500. The affair shortly
settled down to trench ball
playing, i'll the course of which
q great deal of beautiful fra
ternizing was done among the
soldiers of all factions-though
unfortunately about $4,000 more
men lost their lives in the
course of three weeks.
Pleasure Trips
Meanwhile, Italy had be-
come irritated over what she
termed the 'impoliteness' shown
by, France toward Russia. Italy
and Great Britain Joined the
European love feast within "a
hours of each other, on oppo-
site Sides Italy's initial con-
tribution to the get together
was $4,000 men; Great Britain's
10000, with 100000 more
promised as soon as might be.
Great Britain also sent fleet
through the Dardanelles to
keep the Turks composed, and
laid a few battleship eggs along
portions of the Italian coast to
show that she welcomed italy
into the party.
1.-THE festivities went on JOY
ously for three years, with the
League of Nations issuing peace
proclamationS every few days,
and with the forces in the field
shouting 'Hurray for peace and
Mr.. Kellogg and Mr.. BRAND
and their treaty for the re-
nunciation of war as an instru-
ment of national policy!' Us
they fired their rifles and Big
Berthas at one another or
carved their opponents bel
lerinos with their bayonets.
Not once was anybody heard
. to utter the word war so that
1t could not have been a war.

term for all classes of residence of
this state. 1t was always used as a
haunting expression.
But today we are proud to be
called Tar Heels. Our university STU
dents sing I was Tar Heel born and
Tar Heel bred-and I'll be a Tar Heel
when I'm dead Why the reversal of
meaning?
During the civil war North Caro-
lima soldiers were often uneducated
and poor men. Their knowledge of
military matters was not always so
great, perhaps, as that of residents of
other states which until then had
made greater advance in culture.
SOLDIERS of other states would
tease the Tar Heels but the Tar
Heels usually managed a clever re-
tort, frequently implying a bit of tar
m the heels of the other men would
make them stick better in battle. At
any rate, the North Carolinians
adapted themselves to military rou-
tine and did become good fighters.
sIn 1854 Zeb Vance. went to Wiz
ginia to address some North Carolina
soldiers. They were eligible to vote
and be sought their political sup
port in the candidacy for governor.
When he stood before the men, Gov
ernor Vance hesitated. II hardly
know how to begin" he said. II
can't call you fellow soldiers, since
l no longer am a fighting man. l
can't call you fellow citizens, since
none of us are citizens Of this state.
"But-I can and will call you tel
low Tar Heels" Mr.. Vance paused
dramatically and for a few moments
| there was silence. Then the soldiers
stood as one nan and thundered
forth a mighty chorus of cheers.
"For the first time the term Tar
Heel had been used without its de-
risive significance. 1t had been en-
nobled into a word fraught with
brotherly love and idealism.
"And from that day to this Tar
Heels have been proud of their ap-
pellation. The old symbolism Of the
nickn;:m me aided and even the SOL
diers themselves fought more val
iantly as a result of Mr. Vance's Tar
Heel fellowship"

Farm Program Planned
At Group Conferences

Out of the group conferences of
farmers, farm women and extension
workers being held in North Carolina
there are emerging some definite plans
for better farming methods in the
State next year and the years to come.
We are highly pleased with the way
in which our sectional meetings have
been received so far" says Dean I. O..
Schaub, director of extension at State
College. Sat each of the meetings
there have been some $50 to 200 per-
SON. who have met with us to hear
the outlook for farming next year and
to help us develop definite and SEN
sible suggestions tt pass on to the
State in our extension activities. At
each of the conferences, we have had
two or more good farmers from a
county, two or more progressive farm
women and the county home and
farm agents."

ZEB VANCE CHANGED TAR HEEL"
NICKNAME TO WORDS OF PRIDE

1--WE have failed in that aim, though
we have learned much else. In fact, I
believe the manner in which the term
completely changed its significance
more interesting than the manner in
which it originated.
Elm folk lore journals we find
material which leads to the belief the
term Tar Heel was used by the
British before the colonies won their
independence. Workers in naval stores
plants often wore no shoes. Tar would
stick to their heels. The name Tar
Heel was applied to the poorer classes
Of people with derision.

general county purposes and roads
shows an increase Of 16 cents. There
were small increase in other levies
for special purposes.
Since the Fl cents reduction in
the levy for roads was offset by the
16 cents increase in the levy debt serv-
ice, and the small increase in the
levies for purposes other than schools
except the reduction resulting from
the levy this year being made on a
smaller assessed valuation.
"In appraisnig the tax reduction
efectuated by the 1881 general as
sembly we find a straight average re-
duction of IS cents for the current
operation of the six months school
term, and FL cents for road main
tenance, an increase of 3 cents for
school debt service-making a total
of a 19 cents increase in the total
levy by counties for debt service
that is, for bond repayment and in
terest, and an increase of about 3
cents for miscellaneous county levies.
The average net reduction in the total
countrywide levy for all purposes in
the 50 counties, including the in
creases for debt service, remains at
80 cents on the 1851 valuation. 1t
would be SO cents if the 1881 valua-
tiontion had not been reduced below
the 1880 valuation" q,

OMMERCE

By R. E. L. MEL

Christmas! with its season of good
cheer, its privilege of giving and its
Joy of receiving. Christmas! With
young and old, recipients of Old Kris
Kingles' largess, with happiness in
the very air and with the spirit of
"Peace on Earth, Good will towards
men" abroad. Christmas! With thank
fulness to the Giver of All good gifts
and with an abiding faith in His good
ness and mercy. Christmas! the fore
runner of the new year when the
trials of nineteen thirty n will have
become relics of the past and nineteen
thirty-two will offer its hopes and
opportunities for increasing blessings
and prosperity.
The South and its splendid position,
even during these times of stress and
trial, is portrayed in the following
from the president of the Gulf States
Steel Company printed on the front
page. of a recent issue of the manufac-
turers Record
"The great Importance of the South
is indicated in its phenomenal growth
in culture, wealth, diversified agricul-
ture and industries since the beginning
of the twentieth century. And just
as the South reached the peak of its
recent material prosperity in advance
of the rest of the country, so at this
time signs are not wanting to indi-
cate that the South will lead the nation
back to prosperity and that the quick
ening of a new agriculture and indus
trial demand is near at hand.
Gulf States Steel Company is a
Southern concern, drawing its raw
materials from Southern mines, man
u%facturing them with Southern labor
and selling its products in Southern
markets to Southern consumers. Its
recent large investments in new plate
and sheet mills prove its full conf
dence in the South of the furure."

of Christmas cheer would do much to
make a happy holiday for those en-
trusted with the direction of the
organization. 1t is wondered sometimes
if the citizenship generally of Sails
buryknown, are in the least interested
in the need of the Salisbury Chamber
of Commerce in these days of business
trials for increased cooperation, for
Just a little material encouragement,
for ever a hearty word of commenda-
ton for the course it is pursuing for
the common good of this community
and its environs? No personal appeal
will be sent to the many who should
come enthusiastically to the aid of
their city's trade body, but if cities
like Charlotte need to remind its peo-
pie of the desired expressions of ''loy-
atty at this time, certainly S%alishurians
might take the 'hint."
A manufacturer of a Salisbury pro-
duct that already is selling to the
capacity of its producers capital de-
sires to expand and only a small
amount of capital is necessary, some
thing like $4,000. The product has
proven is worth and if the small
amount necessary could be secured
and incorporated into a stock COM
pany it would add just n more local
industry that would surely increase
in the coming years and perhaps at
tain nation wide distribution. Are
there a few citizens of means who
might be interested? If so drop a postal
card to the Chamber of Commerce
and details will be given.
Salisbury is fortunate that its Main
street is part of the Piedmont High
way, 1.-THE Main Street of the South"
and also "The Main Street of North
Carolina" 1t is peculiarly fortunate
that where the latter, U. S. No. 70
and N. c.. No. 10, turns off to the
west it continues along a wide thor
oughfare. Many cities are experience
ing criticism at this time for the mar
row streets into which turns are made
from the through travel route. Sails
bury turns its traffic right and left
at the junction of Main and Innes SITS.
and no difficulty whatever is expert
enced by the traveller. This situation
gives the visitor an opportunity to
see Salisbury's principal business thor
oughfares and whether they stop v
a season or not, they take with them
a birds eye view of just what a splen-
did city this is. Truly is Salisbury for
tunate in many ways and with in
creasing tourist travel it will more
and more become known for its
opportunities and its excellence as a
place in which to do business, to live
and to be happy and prosperous.
