he said the suit should have been

A BANK OF HONOR

An interesting story comes from Sarasota, Fla,
where the Ringing circus makes it's winter home
and where John Ringing established bank in the
palmy Florida days. When the real estate boom
III that state collapsed the Ringing bank was Grip
pied and recently accepted voluntary liquidation
John Ringing is dead but his widow was named
chairman of the board since she was the principal
stakeholder She has announced that the deposits
in the bank, which amount to $411,00O will be
paid 100 per cent and the settlement will be made
from her private funds.
1t is far cry to the days at Baraboo, Wis,
when the Ringing boys established their first cir
Gus. 1t has grown to be the giant of the circus
world The Ringhngs banished the shell game and
other catch pennies from their shows. They adopt
ed the principle to give value received for every
admission sold to their shows. Mr.. Ringing also
banshed shell game methods from his banking
business and Mrs. Ringling IS standing by even at
considerable personal loss.-Spartanburg Herald.

RACE TRACK GAMBLING PROPOSED
FOR MCDOWELL COUNTY. ....

A bill to legalize horse racing and pari-
mutuel betting in Mcdowell county has
been TANNED through the Legislature. 1t
was passed in a great hurry, the rules be-
ing suspended in order to get the job done
quickly. 1t was put through by the same
kind of tactics the Legislature attempted
with the beer bill, and with more success,
due no doubt to the fact that it was a local
instead of statewide bill.
Any legislation enacted in this fashion
is branded and damned by its supporters;
and that is true of the Mcdowell county
bill. However, the voters of Mcdowell
county are to be allowed to pass on the
measure at the polls and say whether or
not they will make race track and gam
bling arena out of their county.
The Mcdowell bin was passed Tuesday
and on Wednesday Senator Bell of this
county attempted to secure reconsidera-
ton of the BILL but his motion was lost.
Senator Bell attempted this action in re-
Spouse to the plea of J. Wallace Winborne
of Marion, chairman of the State Demo-
cratic committee, who opposed the enact
ment of the law.
The Times-News knows nothing of Mr..
Winbome's reasons for opposing the es-
tablishment of race track gambling in his
county, but this newspaper hazards the
guess that one of his reasons is a sincere
desire to prevent the Democratic party Of
North Carolina from committing suicide.
And The Times-News does not mean to
say that the enactment of a local bill for
Mcdowell county, no matter how bad the
bill may be, is reasonable cause for party
suicide; but this newspaper does mean to
say, and will say, that if race track gam
bling is. 4egalized in Mcdowell county the
Democratic party in North Carolina will
be charged with full responsibility for this
grave mistake In the coming years it will
be compelled to bear the responsibility and
odium of beer legislation and for the rot
ten record of the present Legislature IN
many other matters. The party cannot es-
cape responsibility for this legislative rec
ord and it will not be able to escape the
accounting which the people of North Car
DINA are going to demand of the Demo
cratic party in the future.
The Legislature seems to have the deter
minatiOn to dig a capaciOus and deep grave
and then blow the party's brains out and
let it drop into the hole.
