MISLEADING IHE PUBLIC

Editorials are going the grounds of the news
papers just now heralding the cheerful news that
exports picking up" Quoting figures COM
piled at Washington they point out that exports
for the first six months of 1884 "a little more
than billion dollars and remark that 'if thinks
keep at this rate, exports for the year will run
above the two billion dollar mark, which they
haven't touched since 1881" , ,,.... .a.-
!. This is as misleading it could possibly be,
and somebody at Washington is responsible for 1t.
Measured in devalued dollars, exports can be made
to appear to be improving. And, yet the truth is
that cotton exports, for example, have been deeln
ing steadily, for the past four months, being l.
100000 bales below the total for the same period
year ago. During the past two months we have
not shipped half as much cotton abroad as during
the same. two months a year ago. 1t is such mis-
information as this that prevents the creation OF
SOUND public opinion.-Texas Weekly S. o..

AN APPEAL TO REASON

The deplorable affair in Honea Path this morn
ing in which six individuals lost their lives and
fifteen others were seriously injured ought to have
SOLDERING effect on those who seem determined to
bring about situation in which law and order
are to ~be trampled in the dirt ..s.
Let us be reasonable and face facts.
Men and women who want to work have that
right if any rights whatsoever are assured human
beings by centuries of law and custom, Every CIV
iized country in the world recognizes that right
and the full power of the State should be avail
able to protect every individual who wants to earn
bread and meat for himself and his family. g..
Regardless of the contentious which are back
of the present strike, both textile workers and
other citizens have got to realize that this coun-
try is not ready to give up law and order and
these will be maintained if it bankrupts the State
of South Carolina.
For without these and the. protection they give
US, what will anything else be, worth? ...
Union leaders who persist in the effort to stop
workers who want to work have on their shoulders
the responsibility for situation which cannot be
endured,
We do not advocate martial law, but if we can
not have order in South Carolina let martial law
be declared in those areas not able to maintain
peace and order by ordinary smeans.-Greenwood

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
ROTH SIDES OF THE LIBERTY QUESTION

Ex-President Hoover is out with an opening
CHAPTER of his Forthcoming book on the danger to
liberty that is inherent in President Rooseyelts
Epoliev of the New Deall In Democratic circles
there is general tendency to boot at Mr.. HooXer's
nos;+ion. and to ask him, whose liberty is he con-
cerued with. that of the capitalistic barons whom
the New Deal is supposed TO restrain, or that OF
the average man, for whose real liberty TO nave
worthwhile life the New Deal aims?
That is a natural reaction of Democratic partl-
sans against what may be fairly considered tne
partisan element in Mr.. Hoover's plan; out IL IS
no adequate answer to the essential truth IN Mr..
Hooyer's contention. Since South Carolina. is d
certain and solid Democratic state, South caro-
hnians are under no necessity to, so smother the
facts of the case for the purposes of the coming
congressional election. ..o'
He is strange American who does not expert
ence uneasiness at the degree to which despotlc
authority of the Federal government to force men
to courses of conduct as never before an this cou
try has gone. Whether such acts OF the tederal
government shall soon pass as emergency meas
ures, or whether this country is to submit to the
permanent installment of the sort of paternalism
that is now lives under, is most serious question
The reaction against the Presidents policies IN
the coming election will probably not be very
great The emergency is still too acute But none
the less it is well for Democrats we'll as Repu5-
icans to realize that there are on the government
payrolls millions of men and women who Will exert

THE MAN WITHOUT A HOE

One recalls the immense and worldwide sensa-
ton created by Markham's famous. poem The
Man With the Hoe" But; it is the man without
any hoe at all who wins our sympathy and taxes
our ingenuity today. You may see him in almost
any city of America. He walks the streets, OF sits
on a park bench, a dull and pathetic figure. He
seems tired, not with work, but with waiting.
Three. considerations Tighten what would other
wise be. gloomy situation. One. hears almost
every day of some individual who by his own in
his former vocation, in which he is; finding happ-
ness and competency. -
Then, there are the stupendous governmental
projects unprecedented in history, that promise to-
employ more, rather than fewer, workers in time
just ahead Whatever these may mean in general
taxation, theyare, at least, furnishing livelihood
and preserving morale for many thousands of
citizens ... ..--.,....-, =. ~. Ia. =
We may look with hope, moreover, for the ad-
vent of new, industries to meet the advance of
civilization Experience discounts the notion that
inventions and labor-saving machinery involve per-
manent unemployment. At the beginning of the
present century, who could have predicted that
radio, moving pictures and automobiles were to
put so many millions to work in these newer fields?
AT, the minute, no one may prophesy what de-
.velopments will put a. different and better front
on. the whole Industrial situation But to those
who keep an ysense of historical perspective it
seems certain something will, The main challenge
Ito the man without a HE is to- keep grip on
character and courage. For he may not know just
how soon he will find opportunity to hold and use
better hoe than he ever had before-Gh Christian

sponsibility. The mosquitoes and
the vermin will surely feed on

Citizens can not evade their
governmental responsibilities with
Out finding themselves stung and
their blood sucked. AS a direct
result of citizens irresponsibility,
our government today is teeming
with those who sting US and suck
our blood. o.H .-s sr.. .#-.
Every citizen, should pay some
thing to support his government,
,if only a thin, slick dime each
year. He should pay some part
in maintaining his country. He
should have patriotic pride in the
act.
Every citizen. should constantly
be doing something to improve
his government and to- keep it
moving in the right direction. He
should do that, too, in a spirit of
patriotic pride. He should al
ways be ready and willing to lend
a hand when he is called on to
do so. He should think about his
government. understand his gov
eminent, and be quick to 'volun-
teer for service to strengthen and
uplift his government. w..
If there is one thing that makes
me have to hold onto myself to
keep from speaking. my mind
spicily, it is the chap who,
when 1 call on him to. do. some
service for the bettermen of his
government, replies: 81 amt got
time" He amt got time! Yet
he has plenty of time to squawk
bis head off when he finds things
not going the way he thinks they
should. He, has plenty of time
to howl to high heaven when he
finds that the old gang which
dry-cleaned the community a few
years ago, has again got its, hooks
into the hide of the polite.

nent, busy man to meet me al

ply was: "I'll be there. y. Pm in

ahead Of my own business" The
spirit that man felt and express
ed is the spirit all citizens must
feel and express if we are to
have a government of the people,
by the people, for the people.
Yet that man was not wholly
selfless. He. had sense enough to
know that the welfare of his
business was founded on the wei
fare of his city. He, knew that
in our plan of civilization, gov
eminent is the foundation of
everything and that if govern
ment is insecure, whatever is
built on it, is, insecure. .....
The man who hopes to get
something worthwhile out of gov
eminent without putting anything
into. it, is as foolish as the man
, who hopes to get something
worthwhile, out of the soil with
out putting anything into it.
Bees, ants and termites have
no place in their social struc,

their part. We can learn things
from bees, ants, and termites.

trends in the quantity and variety
of vegetables and fruits conserved
for use during the winter. Peaches
have held first place for the past
few weeks despite the fact that
this is a, commodity which our re-

find money to buy, as peaches are
not extensively grown in this

148 families. Tomatoes took third

The Business and Professional
Women's club of Hendersonville
met last evening at the Woman's
club house in Druid Hills. This
was an informal supper meeting
and was enjoyed by number of
club members and several guests.
DR.. Bertha Branstetter had
charge of the program and gave a
talk on the Townsend Old Age
Revolving Pension. After some in
teresting discussion the members
decided to give. this topic further
consideration, and this pension
fund, which will soon be brought
to the attention of the people of
this country is to be studied by
the club. e..
A report of the Regional Con-
ference, held at Blue Ridge, N. c.,
