The mine has been opened up
this spring by reconditioning a
4O0-foot ore chute from some old
workings. A five ton mill has
been installed Gibson ANAL

greatest values are found in a

which is not known.

FoREBoDINGs OF DISASTER

1t is an indisputable fact that an increasing
number of lifelong and loyal Democrats as well as
Others, view the march of events in Washington
with growing alarm. There is ample evidence of
"a rising tide of sentiment favoring an abrupt ter
animation of the obvious and accelerating swing to
the left in government affairs and policies; that it
lis high time to thank the Brain Trusters for what
ever good they have DONE pay them off, let them
go, and turn the government of the United States
back to the elected representatives of its people.
Such sentiment is based upon the belief that
American industry and business has just about all
of the theoristic attention that it stand and
still continues to function. The fact that much
good has been accomplished is recognized, for all
of which the Administration is given full credit,
but gratitude for delivery from the depths of de"
preston does not serve to allay fears for the FL
,ture.-Lenoir News-Topic %

THE sANTEE-cooPER RIVER PROJECT

The House has at last passed the Santee-Cooper
river power and navigation project IN sort OF
.denatured form. The United States government IS
to be asked to advance whole lot of money Tor
a scheme that no private capitalist would think OF
riskng money in. But the money of the people o.
the United States (of whom readers you are part)
is to be risked in it; and if it doesn't pay, you will
pay your part of the wild scheme.
But there is at least the satisfaction that the bill
as passed by the House specifically warns the world
that the State of South Carolina assumes no tinan-
cial obligation in the scheme wilder than any duck
that will disport itself upon the impounded waters,
and that there need never be expectation that the
State will levy any tax or pay out dollar for the
behoof of the Missionaries who sink their money in
the big pond
Of all the wild schemes of socialism that have
sprung up like mushrooms during the past year in
the United States, this about takes the cake. Let
us wait now and see how willing Uncle Sam is to
risk the peoples money in scheme of which the
South Carolina House has already emphatlcalty
given the opinion that it is so wild that South
Carolina need never be expected to risk a dollar
in it.-Newberry IS. c. Observer.

MAKING LIVING AT HOME

As crop pitching time moves nearer, and farm
ers are muddled about what the federal authorl-
ties are going to allow them to plant without ploW
ing under, there is one plan they can make now
and nobody will disturb them.
They can set themselves to make what they are
going to need to eat, and feedstutfs for their
mules, horses cows, pigs and what few sheep there
are in the state.
North Carolina is away behind in making liv-
ing for itself.
So busy trying to make little spending money
out of cotton and tobacco that it is compelled to
depend upon the foreign canneries and the distant
fields of the West for their foods and feeds
Agricultural independence for the state can
come no other way than through living at home.
That goes for Mecklenburg, too which has its face
in Western troughs-Charlotte, Observer.

NEWSPAPERS, OPINION
NEW YORK RAcKETEERS

3 New York has discovered poultry racket that
has made as much as sixteen million dollars year
for its promoters, and the commissioner of public
markets backed by Mayor La Guardia, proposes to
break it up. The graft is obtained by forcing pou-
try dealers to buy coops and poultry feed supplied
BY the raeketeers The cops cost 81 at the factory
and the shipper pays 81 each time he uses them.
ROultry handlers must pay the racket profit OF
80 cents each bag of poultry feed they use.
The consumer has to pay the graft which is
charged in on his bill and which is tax on every
user of chickens ducks turkeys and geese in the
metropolis Every sick baby who is given chicken
broth must pay the graft. The dining tables of
tie rich and poor alike are taxed to swell the bank
accounts of the racketeers. ..
& 1t is miserable business that will enable the
racketeers to exact tax of 50 from every mar,
woman and child in a great city like New York.
But New York has been accustomed to .raekets for
many years. The politicians have practiced rae

IS THE ARMY FLYING SERVICE EFFICIENT:

The distressing list of fatalities among the army
avators who have been carrying the mail since the
President Cancelled the contracts of the private
companies on account of their unethical practices
in obtaining contracts raises serious question as
to the training and efficiency of the army flyers.
Of the men have been killed in line OF
duty to which they not specifically accus-
toned. Most have died in the wild mountain re-
gions. And yet they have had all the advantages
of lines of beacon lights leading them along clear
ly defined trails The result in deaths has not been
such as to warrant the belief that the army fers
are thoroughly enough trained to take the risks of
combat in which. not only there would be no bea-
con lights but in which skilled antagonists would
employ every device for their confusion and de-
struction. -sa ...u,
We are questioning, not accusing; for we are
not possessed of sufficient technical knowledge to
pass upon the causes of the lamentable list of
deaths But there must be some explanation, not
entirely complimentary to army training for the
air. that explains the fact that the army's fighting
airmen cannot fly clear, beaconed mail routes as
safely as the aviators employed by the private
companies have been accustomed to do.
Is it another illustration of the relative neftl-
cheney of publicly controlled and operated enter
prses as compared with private? Is it another IL
ustration of the fact that every step taken away
from private initiative, skill and efficiency IS a
definite step away from progresS.-The NeWberry

Business in America today is in the position of
the person from whom blood is being drawn for

1t has already been severely tapped in order to
get the depleted, anemic and PROSTATE economic

THE FALL OF A RACE,
AN EPIC IN HISTORY
(BY BRUCE CATION


Give history plenty of time, and it can
create some shifts in its never-ending page
ant that will leave you gasping. ..
1t may take thousands of years, but in
the end-from the standpoint of ironic
contrast-the results are worth it.
There are, for instance, those Assyrian
refugees who are about to start on a long
migration from the land of their ancestors
to a colony along the upper reaches Of the
Amazon, in Brazil.
These people, a mere handful, have
been living in what now is the country OF
Iraq. They are among the most luckleSS
and put-upon of modern peoples. Last
summer many of them were massacred by
neighbOring tribesmen, and only action Of
the League of Nations is saving them from
complete ruin.
Now, under league auspices, spot has
been found for them in Brazil, and they
are to be moved there en- masse as soon as
arrangements can be finished.
And all this surely is one of the strang-
est twists that the pageant of history ever
has taken.
For these people are the surviving de-
scendantS of the Assyrians of old-the AS
syrians who made their name mighty III
the east, who built great Nineveh, swept
down like destroying angels on such folk
as the Israelites, and stood for the power
and glory of temporal greatness IN all Its
splendor.
That was unimaginably long ago. The
great city of Nineveh is heap of sand and
clay, now; the canals with which the AS
syriaus turned the bare plains of Asia Mi
nor into garden spots dried up and disap-
peared centuries ago; the very name Ct
what once was the most powerful nation
IN the world has become covered with
dust, so that it sounds unreal and very
far-off when we read about it in our Bibles
or our history books
S And here astoundingly, is a fragment of
that PARKWAY time surviving in the twen-
tieth century-a pitiable, harasSed frag-
ment, saved from complete extinction only
by the League of Nations, and exiled to a
far-off jungle to start life anew!
Of all the strange tales of history, this
one is surely among the strangest.
