They Did Not Go and Vote
"He talked of right and talked of wrong
Of duty talked he loud and strong;
He criticized all known neglect;
He asked What can all expect?"

Or she went shopping, calling, too,
And told what leaders all should do

VANDALISM pIsouALIFIEs

The potential French rebels of Brittany, who
mutated the statute of Aristide BRAND to en-
phasize their demand for autonomous government,
emphasized something else good deal more GER
tainy-a destructive lawlessness which shows how
little qualified they really are to appreciate and
use properly the thing they are demanding.
It is neither intellectual ability nor education
which qualities people for independence in gov
eminent, although those things would seem to be
necessary. but the disposition to preserve order,
keep the law, preserve that which is good and re-
spect the right.
Acts of vandalism, such as this and such are
frequently the accompaniment of radical demands
certainly do not indicate the SOFT of disposition

Go along with the crowd" is the
strongest argument many North Carolina
vets have to offer for voting that way on
November 7th. The country is voting for
repeal and is going to be swamped in
liquor, they say, and why not vote, drink
and swim with the crowd? This is the pet
argument of the wet press. In addition to
all the other merit this alleged argument
lacks, it does not possess the merit of being
true The figures show that the 30 States
which have voted en- repeal did not get
one-half of their total voters to the polls.
Subtract the dry vote from the total and it
is evident that considerably less than hall
he voters went to the polls to vote with
he crowd The 18th Amendment will be
repealed by around So to 40 per cent. of
the voters of the United States. ...

potatoes and many other products of fields,
gardens and orchards make Henderson
county look like vast storehouse of food
Stuffs this Fall. There is abundance for
man and beast. Thousands of dollars
worth of the products of the soil are going
out of the county and fair returns in cash
are coming in. Enough will remain in the
county, however, to make it certain that
our people will not go hungry through the

I Fifteen pounds of sweet potatoes from
one vine is the record of Henderson
county grower. Three potatoes weigh Is
pounds and one of the three weighs z IL
pounds. That is the way sweet potatoes
grow in many sections of the county, and
yet Henderson makes no claim to being
an exceptional sweet potato producing Sec
tion. Our folks don't brag about their ia
cilities and ability for growing sweet pota-
toes, but they do make some claims for
this county in the production of Irish po-
tatoes.

THOUGHTS OF
4 FISHERMAN

Brother Walt Lippman and
your uncle Ike got back from va
cations about the same time. but
he beat me to his column, but |
let him do it so as to have lick
at him after he struck. Now he's
struck, and he says Franklin D.
has two inconsistent jobs-one to
get things moving any old way,
so long as they move; and the
other to plan out a permanent
new deal. Walt thinks Frank
can't do both because they don't
jibe; he says, in effect. that
Franks temporary expedients are
radical, but his permanent hopes
are sort OF conservative, and
they can't keep company.
Now Walt had the habit Of
knocking Frank a year ago, and
ne amt got over it yet. If Frank
is trying to mix temporary radi-
calism and permanent conserva-
tism, why he said it was all an
experiment. and he'd quit the
minute it looked like the works
were going to blow up. Why,
Brother Walter, the radicalism of
today always has been the con-
servatism of tomorrow. Billy
Bryan was considered wild-eyed
reformer, but Taft. T. R. and
Wilson put so many of Billy's re-
forms on the books, we have for
gotten what they all were. Bry-
an said "Thou shalt not cruelty
mankind on a cross of gold" and
Franklin's been cornering all the
gold to keep it from making
crosses. Bryan put across the
income-tax amendment and Nor
gan and Dillon and Read, etc,
are swearing they didn't have
any incomes, whereas in Bryan's
day they opposed it because they
did and now they are glad Of it
because they can dodge it so easy.
Bryan put in the 18th amendment
with Rockefeller's help, and now
Rockefeller has become so radi-
cal he wants it out again. The
liquor radicals would make Bry-
ans sort look like the rock of
Gibraltar.
No, Walt, you've got the wrong
dope. Frank means to expert
ment with this NRA business,
and if it works. he plans to in
corporate it. He got it from old
Plato anyhow, and its been mel

One of the most beautiful Fab seasons
the mountain country has ever enjoyed is
now blessing the people of Western North
Carolina. 1t is the kind of Autumn season
that comes almost every year in this Sec
ton, however. Occasionally there is too
much rain at this time of the year that
spoils the Autumn, but so far this year the
rainfall and other conditions are just right.
All lovers of the mountains living in other
sections of the country, especially persons
familiar with this section, who desire TIC
see it in all the glory of Autumn, should
visit Western North Carolina during the
next thirty days. ..

THEY WILL SPEAK
Herald.

DR.. George Truett, one of the 25 great preach
erS of the world, North Carolinian who has spent
his life in Texas where he was needed more than
in his native state, is correct when he says the
preachers will not be silent the question of re-
peal.
"The very stones of the street cry out to them
for action and leadership" he affrms.
Even so. there does seem to be suggestion of
tmidity about their attitude to this question now.
They have been so prosecuted and bounded in the
past about their interest in it that lot of them
have called off the hounds and gone on off on
some other scent
That is not becoming the cloth. There is social
ethic in Christianity vital for ministers to pro-
claim as the doctrine of personal sin. If they be-
eve that prohibition is the best route to arrive at
public temperance, better than some other way,
they may be sharply disagreed with but they have
no business keeping their mouths shut-Gharlot+e
