NELSON EDDY HAS
UNUSUAL RECORD
OF ACHIEVEMENT

Engagements make news in the
career of any artist The follow
ing record of the past three sea-
sons activities in the life of Nell
son Eddy, the successful young AM
erican baritone VINO will be heard
here on Thursday, November is, at
the Wilson school, is in itself i'm
pressiye on a purely statistical bas-
is. Remembering that this is the
list of achievements of a singer
still at the beginnings of his ca
reer, considering what it represents
in the way of voice, versatility. in
depreciation, languages. personality,
dramatic ability, 1t is not necessary
to explain why Nelson Eddy is fast
becoming one OF America s most
popular artists. Nor IS it difficult
to account for the fact that Metro
GolCwyn- Mayer, after witnessing
his appearance last winter with the
Los Angeles Philharmonic follow
ing which the baritone received 18
curtain calls, signed Nelson Eddy
for a long-term contract as a mo-
ton picture star.
Opera. oratorio, concert +. in
each field Nelson Eddy has already
distinguished himself.
Born in Providence, r. I.,-,June
%, 1901, as a boy Nelson Eddy sang
in church. In 1915 he moved 10
Philadelphia where he had q series
of Jobs, finally drifting into news
paper work. A friend taught him
to write ''obits. - He became sue
.cessiyely a reporter, copy-reacer,
an advertising writer. ..-
Meanwhile he was brought to the
attention Of David Bispham. The
famous cid singer heard him, liked
him, taught him, and prophesied a
career. Unfortunately, however, he
died soon after. Later Nelson Ed
dy studied with William " Vilonat
in New York and DR.. Edouard Lip
pc of New York and Philadelphia
First Appearance
His first stage appearance was in
January, 1922, in Mrs. George Dal-
las Dixon IS society musical play,
The Marriage Tax at the Aca-
DENY OF Music, Philadelphia. He
played the king of Greece and his
name was not even en- the pro-
gram. But his small bit was out
standing and everyone wanted to
know who he was. The newspapers
answered with his first publicity.
He soon found himself in sFother
amateur theatrlcals, followed by
leading parts in Gilbert and Sulli-
van comic operas with the Savoy
company. About a year later a
competition was held among. Phil
adelphia singers and Eddy Won his
way into the part of AmonaSro in
. Aida, " presented by the Philadel-
phia opera society. His debut in
professional grand opera came in
1924 when he sang Tonic in "Pag--
hacci" with the Philadelphia Give
Opera company.
Now Nelson Eddy is SO busy he
hardly has time TO fill all of his
engagements. During one month
last spring he travelled through 81
states by train, bus, boat, auto,
trolley, airplane and-hitch-hikin

NOT SO WARLIKE

Two weeks ago the world was
trembling for fear the disturbed
conditions in Austria, Germany, and
surroundings countries would blow
up in war "Would the United States
be drawn in?" was the question
often asked here in North Carolina.
Well, hat has passed, the trouble
makers of Europe have quoted
down a bit, and few people see real
signs of war. There are plenty of
excitable people in Europe who are
mad enough to fight. But there
will hardly be a real wal unless
Germany rises up to contend against
the foes which it hates. The Ger
mans know well enough that they
can hardly feed their people now in
time of peace, not to speak of feed
ing and supplying an army.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-08-31

the spirit of cooperation reigned
supreme.
Old timers will often tell you
about it, and about how happy
they were in those days. When the
new settler was ready to erect his
house or barn, the ~neighbors from
miles around assembled and made
short work of the job. When
threshing time came on, all the
men in the community banded to-
gether and helped each other. We
have all heard of husking bees and
wood chopping bees. And most
of us agree that was really the
golden age of cooperation in this
country.
As a result of this spirit and the
hardihood of the men who settled
this nation, we have passed from a
simple pioneer community into a
complex modern society within the
lifetime of a single man. The a.
mazing progress made in this coun-
try is one of the greatest of all
phenomena of history.
1t took other nations ages to
develop high civilizations and fine
cultures. 1t took ours but a few
generations. We believe that the
cooperative spirit that ruled the
lives of our forefathers is lergely
responsible. This is why the editor
feels that there is no limit to what
might be accomplished in Salisbury,
if our citizens would imbide some
of that cooperative spirit that made
for the notable accomplishments
of Our predecessors.
Forget the petty grievence, the
prejudice, or envy you hold toward
other citizens in the community.
Work ardently with those who are
striving to make Salisbury a better
and finer town in which to live;
and notable and worthwhile ac-
complishments will be the result,
as it always has been the result of
cooperative effort.

THINK OF OTHERS

An old man who had met life
serenely and TRANQUILITY for more
than 80 years was asked the secret
of his c~heerfulness. He answered
in four words: thinking of other
folks. You can't travel very
far in this world, he explained
without finding that your path
is all tangled up with other folks
paths. Some people think that if
they can only travel by them
selves, they're going to be happy.
"But there's more to it than that.
When you've learned to dodge a
collision, not because you're afraid
of getting hurt yourself, but be-
cause you're afraid of hurting the
other fellow, you're getting near to
happiness. But when you arrive at
a point where it's a genuine pleasure
never to cause grief to another liv-
ing soul, you re still closer. In other
words, when you get SO far that
it's a joy to you just to- make others
happy, you're about there yourself"

l learned of a Monroe business
man who thought he might make
considerable saving by purchasing
some of his stasionery-letter heads
from a mail order house. But
when the job came it was c. o.
d., and when the package was open
ed his initials were Q. N. instead of
|. N.
Protest was made. But the far
distant printer said the copy sub
mitted was followed-and the Gus
toner should learn how to write
his name. The job was also poorly
printed on cheap stock. Otherwise
everything was jake.
A number of years ago I pur-
chased a mail order suit of clothes
just one-half the price charg-
ed by local clothiers. Well, when
| put on my new suit n could not
tell whether I was comm or gwine.
l did not have the nerve to wear
the monstrosity up street for two
reasons. First, my friends would
not have recognized me, and Sc
cond, the police doubtless would
have arrested me as a suspicious
character.-Eugene Ashcraft in

Byrns' candidacy placed him in

ton, who predicted his colleagues

'HCL" stalks again
Back before the great war the
one alphabetical abbreviation we
used to see oftenest in the papers
was "HCL'. That stood for "high
cost of living Everybody was
complaining about rising prices of
food, clothing, rents and other ex-
penses. That vanished when the
war sent wages skyrocketing, and
there has been little or no talk
about the high cost of living since,

PROSPECTS FOR FALL

Business, industry, the farmer,
and the average individual face the
best fall in several years, and I'M
less nature interferes at the last
moment there is no reason why
1885 should not find North Caro-
lima and particularly Rowan Coun-
ty in the best shape since the pros
porous '2Os. Too much rain or too
little rain would change things
greatly before harvest time, but
there are no indications now that
the county will be deprived of a
bountiful harvest at the last min
ute. For these things we should
be thankful.
Government is experimenting in
agriculture, business and industry,
and it would be a very difficult
matter to convince the majority of
the people that the experimenting
has not helped conditions general
ly. AS a whole, business and in
dustry in this county have tried to
carry out the requirements laid
down by NRA, and it appears now
that the majority of the farmers
in the county will attempt to obey
the regulations of the AAA. In
recent days we have learned that
some of the farmers arc, more or
less disturbed concerning their cot
ton allotments, but we feel safe in
saying that the Rowan county
farmer will not lose a single thing
by trying to do what the govern
ment wants him to do in the way
of controlling production.
This newspaper has continuously
pointed out that many of the ills
of the past few years may be attri-
buted to the refusal of too many
folks to work. AS we see it now,
work is needed more today than
ever before, and it will be especial
ly necessary in "cashing in on
the prospects which the county
has for fall. The farmer, the la
borer, the merchant, and the manu-
facturer need to exert every ef-
fort to get the best results possible.
To sit down on the job now means
ruin for any man, and the person
who does sit down now can be clas-
sifed as a traitor to himself as we'll
as to his country.
The man on a salary or wages
should give his employer full value
in service, and he should reduce his
obligations as fast as he can. The
merchant should leave no stone I'M
turned in his effort to sell merchan-
disc, keeping in mind, however,
that if he is to make progress he
must sell at a profit. The manu-
f.cturer should do the same thing,
and every employer should pay fair
wages and salaries.
We must get money to circulat-
ing, and give everybody a chance
to benefit. We can never have
prosperity in this county if a few
persons have all of it. The masses
must have money for the country
to be prosperous.
The prospects for fall are good.
Let us be careful not to muf our
chances because of laziness and in
difference.
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1934-08-31
DOLLARS DO NOT MAKE MEN

Do we have the proper concep-
ton of a successful business man?
Most of us seem to measure the
successful man by n thing only.
Yet it is in my mind and perhaps
the majority of cases the porest
rule of rating that can be found
because it is too often the case that
his dollars have been accumulked
by taxdodging or taking the half
cent in every deal, sometimes by
short weights and scanty measures.
So the opinions of men who
think the dollar makes the man is
not a safe and sound judgment such
as we will all have to face at some
future time-where the good deeds
done will count for more than dol
lars accumulated.
The man who attends the sick,
buries the dead, feeds the widows
and the orphans, attends to the
needs of the church, sees that the
school is kept open, stands and
works for the civic, moral and spir-
itual interests Of his people does far
more good in this life than the man
who squeezes every penny out of
the community that he can get.
In political affairs, many people
make the mistake of thinking that
the nan with the money is the pro-
per man to entrust our business af-
fairs with. This is another wrong
idea in at least half of the cases.
The man with the big money has
a smaller soul than some fellow
without money. The man whose
only claim to good citizenship is
money may have the poorest ideas
of the great human needs. He has
perhaps given little thought to
men and made money his god.
There are exceptions to this rule,
because we find philanthrophy and
sympathy in the bosom of some
money men. But their hearts are
responsible for their values, rather
than their
Enterprise.

very cold winter. Maybe they're
right. I've heard a lot of long
range fo%recasting in my time, most
of which didn't come true. To tell
