GONE; AN ERA WITH
HIM
by BRUCE CATTON

The death of John GalSwOrthy not only
removes from the scene one of England's
most distinguished novelists. 1t helps to
mark the passing of an era-helps to mark
it precisely as his own novels did.
For Galsworthy was the historian of a
class and time which seem to have been
doomed to death by world changes. He
wrote of the people who gave England It's
tone through the fifty years preceding the
World war; the upper-class folk who, III
the last analysis, directed the empire, set
up the social and political codes by which
it lived and shaped for themselves a life
which seemed to be beyond change.
This was class with very great virtues
and very great limitations - statement
which, perhaps, could apply to Galswor-
thy himself.
The class made the British empire great,
beyond dispute. It sent its sons out to adj
minister colonies, to open backward lands
for settlement, to fill the vast network OF
civil and military positions made necessary
by the great scope of the empires activi-
ties. 1t bred into them a sense of the re-
sponsibilities entailed by its privileges.
1t was Mr.. Galsworthy's great gift to un-
derstand that class completely and to write
of it so that other people could understand
it and sympathize with it too. A future
historian wanting to discover Just what up
per class Englishmen Of the empires hey
day were like, what they talked about and
how they felt and what they believed in,
will hardly be able to do better than to
get acquainted with Mr.. Galsworthy's For
sytes and Charwells.
Yet this class had a certain blindness.
somehow. The world moved out from I'M
der it. Perhaps It was blasted out by the
guns of Ypres and the Somme, or perhaps
the docks at Hamburg and Bremen and
the factories at Detroit and Pittsburgh had
something to do with it; but at any rate it
moved, and left to bewilderment and con-
fusion the class that had ruled it. For the
class was unable to adjust itself
To world which has watched the &C
tivitieS of that class with admiration, en-
asperation and sympathy, by turns, Mr..
Galsworthy's novels are a priceless pos
session.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Editor, The Times-News:
was much impressed with the
timeliness and the spirit of your
editorial Wednesday IN COM
mending and calling for general
support of the welfare and un-
employment feature of the 1888
program of the Henderson coun-
| ty $40 year farm plan. 1t must
necessarily be countrywide
movement supported generously
iby all our people. Neither the
$40 body nor the relief organi-
cations can put it over without
public sympathy.
l have been authorized by a
person who is in a position to
throw a great deal Of support
behind the movement to ascer-
tan the amount of acreage with
in a mile or so of Henderson
vile that may be secured for
community gardening. + f. ~
ton has offered two OF more
tracts near the city and +. D..
Bell has offered q tract near
East Flat Rock. These will come
in fine for supervised gardening
| by the unemployed at East Flat
Rock at Hendersonville who are
unable to secure garden space
for themselves.
Who will give the use Of five
acres or more in the Fletcher
Brickton community and near
the city limits for supervised
community gardening to provide
food for the needy, who must do
their own gardening under sup
ervision where there are able
bodied men in families seeking
charitable aid?
The $40 farm organization
feels confident that it can pro-
vide individual gardens in the
rural districts but will not be
able to execute the community
gardening which necessarily must
have the support of the relief
organizations.
Respectfully,
NOAH HOLLOWELL.

may be used to produce foods and feeds, repre-
sent the other two vital phases of the statewide
program.
, Such an objective is altogether praseworthy and
practical in its conception.
It is a travesty upon the intelligence and initia-
tive of the people of North Carolina that with such
q lavish opportunity for making their own foods
there should be as much restitution as now exists
in the state and especially in the eastern part of
the state where Nature has been particularly
prodigal in the way of providing vast areas OF fer
tile lands mild climate and exceptional weather
conditions for agricultural life.
In spite of all these benefits and advantages,
thousands of families, living on farms, are
having to be fed this winter out of the govern
mental spoon and, more than that, in some of the
counties of Eastern North Carolina, not enough
feedstuffs We're produced last year to feed cattle
and stock until Christmas.
Of course, a severe drought handicapped farm
ing to a serious extent in some parts of the state
last year and tended to bring about this unhappy
condition but giving due place to all of that, the
fact still remains that North Carolina farmers are
not making anything like the most of their oppor-
tunities in the way of providing themselves with
an abundance of feeds and foods.
The plan of the state office of relief has, there
fore. more than an immediate significance. 1t is
conceivable that, if carried out according to its
designs and becoming as far reaching as intended,
it may set the whole state in a permanently con-
structive agricultural policy and thus become
factor in changing the whole tone and tenor Of
our farming civilization
Governor Gardner set the pace in this direction
during his administration with his live-at-home pro-
gram, movement which developed lively interest
and produced vast benefits, and one which the new
programs follows ittingly
Along this way lies ultimately the path to at
least some recovery from present conditions. The
shifting of urban and rural population, the bal
ancing of agricultural and industrial life, the de-
velopment of that sane level of agricultural activ
ity that Will look first to the production of the
essentials of life right at our own back door, in
stead of having to depend upon others to raise
foods and feeds for the state,-there is hope in
all of this for finding sure way to better civ
ilization in North Carolina.-Charlotte Observer.

THOUGHTS OF
A FISHERMAN
By Ike Walton, Redivivuc

WHY don't we hear from
farmers like Harry Byrd and
Dave Cocker, and Max Gardner,
and Arthur Osborne about that
domestic allotment bill? Is 1t
because apples and tobacco and
corn and cabbage are not to be
counted when the allOtments for
not raising things are being
shovelled out? Why should a
wheat farmer who cuts out
hundred acres Of wheat get a
thousand dollars or so from taxes
paid by everybody when the tel-,
low who cuts out hundred
acres Of potatoes just because
he has sense enough to know
that those same wheat fellows
will plant potatoes gets nothing
but a tax notice? In the name
of jackass sense, will congress
pass that monstrosity and Frank
lin Roosevelt approve it?
Put the idle farm labor to work
crushing rock. getting out lime
stone. collecting sand, draining
swamps, building dams and coun-
try roads, and you'll see corn a
dollar a bushel within six months
after it is done an adequate
scale. All that material can be
used. The funds dispensed for
charity on bidding could crush
and assemble enough rock to
,oIos+a, cN-arIy p L n roiIta in
America. If We are going to
spend the taxpayers money any
how. spend it so as to give them
something for it. Old Pharaoh
lived four thousand years years
before radio and airpiane but
he had more sense than the pid-
dlers in power today. When the
Egyptians got to raising too much
wheat and onions he put them

CAMPING?

Saturday. July 20, at $3.50 a. m.
in front of the Ford Garage is the
time and place of the beginning
of the 1888 camping trip.
There are AZ boys enrolled to
date, and better bunch of young
sters will ne'er be found! In order
that everything can be in order 1t
is necessary that we have rules
and regulations as to what we may
do and what we may not do. These
rules must be lived up to in every
respect. Failure to live up to the
rules will mean an extra term on
the X. p. We also reserve the
right to send any boy home who
so behaves that it makes it miser-
able for the rest of the boys to
have the best of time. Decipline
is the keynote in having the most
of fun.
Our camping place will be Wade
Woods at Sturgeon lake. A large
tent will house us at night, and
the wide open spaces during the
day. We also have access to few
boats during the day and three div
ing boards will help us get the
right end into the water first. The
cooks, comprising Herds and
Mabel, will occupy a small cabin
on the highland and from this
source we will receive all our
edibles.
Sunday, July 30th, would be an
ideal day for parents and friends
to come and spend the day; bring
your picnic lunch if you like and
join our fun for the day.

f Stuck to Their Guns.
Mr.. Shoemaker said that things may
run along for a while by putting
props under the capitalistic system
but that in the long run it will not
stand up. The five Farmer-Labor
congressman from Minnesota stuck
to their guns and voted in Congress
as they talked in the campaign. At
this point Shoemaker criticized Sena-
tor Shipstead for introducing another
farm refinancing bill to take the place
of the Senator Frazier bill which had
long been discussed. The Shipstead
bill took up the time of the Senate
he argued, cumming up the works
and resulting in neither being
adopted, but a bill with only slight
reduction of interest rates being
passed. He called the Shipstead bill
milk and water proposition.
On the first test there were 1873
COHSI cSSu1cH WHO VOIcQ against the
Economy bill but on final roll call
only 19 said no. Those 19 of course
are stripped of political patronage,
said the congressman. That was the
punishment for not voting with the
administration. Mr.. Shoemaker said
that Republicans and Democrats are
about alike-humorously adding that
they are like the carbuncle and the
boil. OF course there are some good
Republicans and Democrats and out
of those Farmer-Laborites are de-
veloped.
John S. Percy, chairman of the Pine
county unit of the Holiday Associa-
tfon, introduced the speakers and
Clint r. Boo of Pine City, in behalf of
Mayor James e. Sullivan welcomed
the gathering of 300 or more to the
park. Mr.. Boo said that the prob
lens of the farmer are the problems
of all for without their prosperity
the small town business man will not
do well. His welcome was in we'll
chosen words and we'll received by the
gathering.

FRIENDS
SURPRISE MISS SARD

Friends and members of the Viii
stad church congregation met at the
Mrs. Charles Lindstrom home Tues
day night after bible class and choir
practice to pleasantly surprise Miss
Vivian Sard who has taught bible
class and had charge of choral work
there for the past year. Ice cream
and cake was served and talk was
given by the Rev. Charles S. RydelI
of the congregation.
Miss Sard has done much good in
the Vilstad community and the gath
ering was evidence of the esteem in
which she is held.
