THE WORTHWHILE FOLK,

In the dizzy panorama of events chronicled
daily, printed page, over the radio, and on the
screen, containing alas! far too much of the purely
spectacular and sordid for that matter, we are apt
to lose sight of the real work of the world being
patiently carried on by that host of the unac-
claimed, both men and women, without whose con-
slant and unceasing attention to their duties and
responsibilities the welfare of all would begin to
shrink Immediately. 1t is the accomplishing and
untiring performance of little monotonous details
by Mr.. Average Man and Woman, that in the real
basis of our work-a-day world, even of our ciVi-
hzatiOn itsef-not the artificial creatures that are
played up often in newspaper headlines.
John W. Harden in his Snapshots" column in
the Charlotte News referring to the willing self
sacrifice of that multitude of unobtrusive 'soldiey
of the ways of peace" goes on to state, that
Indeed, there are thousands about US who GO,
not just to work at s, or $50 or g. but to battle
=. He who is doomed to death at the hands Of
an incurable malady, but who's family never sus-
poets He who plods on to pay for his home,
that family may always have roof over it's
head the bank clerk who does not falsify
- the salesman paying for the art education of
daughter the policeman helping a son to
achieve an MD. It's the wood haulers and rail
splltters who matter Theyare the wearers of shin
ing armour the little men fighting behind to
win wars ..'.
These words are absolutely right. In the atten-
ton paid to exotic and fantastic, and oftentimes
repelent characters in the news, the most of us
lose sight of the indispensable daily activities of
the dihgent and sober-minded men and women.
Without their unremitting daily toll our civiliza-
ton itself would quickly cease to function. They
are of the ''salt of the EARTH" the really worth

to see what nudist would look
like after going on a hunting trip

Certainly for aesthetic pur-

beautiful, but most of them look

Virtually all animals except rep

are covered with hair. wool or

coverings to make life more at

THE WORM TURNS

Miami, Florida's gayest resort, seems to have
been flying too high. The grand jury resented ex-
listing conditions and expressed its resentment in
scathing report Gamblers are in a stew and the
sheriff is busy caring for those who surrender
ing upon gambling indictments
1t is apparent that all the residents of Miami
who have gone there to enjoy the sunshine, surf
and climate are not patrons of the race track the
roulette Wheel and the gay life that has made the
city famous. There are those who prefer the quiet
life and who resent the influence of an American
Deauville upon their children The rattle of the
gambling wheel, the laughs of the gamblers, the
buying of chips, the betting at the race track have
not weaned them from the ways of decency. They
seem to be in the majority in Miami and the city
is in for a cleanup. ... .-...is3
Florida once won an unenviable name when the
great real estate boom collapsed. 1t has been re-
covering from that debaele and tourists in greater
numbers than ever before have been seeking its
sunshine for several years. To Miami have gone
the pugilists and their followers the race horses
and bettors, gangsters and common thieves. Their
presence has been welcomed by some in authority
and no doubt they have been spendc"s in hotels
and shops and bathing resorts. But they have in
1ured Miami. If they are permitted to infest the
cities the entire state will be injured. 1t probably
IS time for Florida to let the world know that il
stands for the finer things of life.--Spartanburg

NEW ERA FOR
south AHEAD
Mechanical Cotton Picker
Seen as Bringing New
Problems Also
By HARTMAN NICHOLS
United Press Staff Correspondent

CHICAGO, Feb. 16. - (UP).
The Old South stands at the
gateway of a new era, agrlcul-
turai experts said today.
The cotton picker, mechanical
device now being perfected, may
replace the mule, the negro and
the pillow.
This new implement, which
manufacturers have been striving
to perfect for nearly half a CEN
fury, also may present { serious
social problem in the lives OF
people living in one-siXtl Of the
land area of the United States.
DIFFICULT TASK
A member of the firm of the
international Harvester company,
which exhibited cotton picker
during the first summer Of a
Century Of Progress, sad:
"Although we have been work
ing on details Of such q machine
for many years, no successful one
has been completed. 1t is only a
matter of a short time. however,
until these pickers will be put in
to practical operation"
An article in the American
Mercury by Oliver Carlson STIR
red up much coment on the pos
sibility Of a revolution in cotton,
The Mercury's article outlined
the growth of the cotton king
dom, beginning with Eli Whit
ney's gin, with it's ingenious
method of separating the cotton
seed from the cotton fibre. The
writer contrasted the north, with
it's efficient and numerous factor
les and numberless industries
with the south, which sucks its
livelihood from solitary en-
deavOr.
DESIGNERS TEXANS
Designers of the new device,
which some day will send thou

cupation-they know not what

were born and raised on a Texas
cotton plantation. From earliest
boyhood they were compelled to
engage in the back-breaking task
of picking cotton. The brothers
spent nearly 10 years experiment.
ing with the new machine.
The first test was made in the
stubbled fields of Texas, where
fair degree of efficiency of
the machine was reported. After
more tests in the Mississippi delta
region, where cotton grows as
high as three and a half or four
feet, the brothers were well on
their way to creating a machine
which was simple, inexpensive
and durable.
LABOR SAVER
During one experiment the ma
chine was said to have picked
more cotton in seven and half
hours than good hand picker
could pick in an entire season,
three and half months.
| Meantime, southerners face a
new problem: Is tenant farming

plantation dispense with its many
