WORK ON THE SOIL


And the Lord God took the man and put him
into the Garden of Eden to dress.it and to keep
it, and He never did finer thing for him.
There was no better place to put him than in a
patch of good ground in as lovely surroundings as
infinite hands to fabricate and no more wholesome
task to which he could have been assigned.
Here is the oldest of all occupations, tending
and dressing garden-far older than the golf
courses upon which one expands equal energy and
great deal more vocabulary. -
Work has its dignity and its deep meaning.
1t came into mans hands not by accident nor
oy chance, 1t was created to complement human
life.
And in spite; of all the unpopularity into which
hard, honest, sweatproducng toll has <lapsed, there
is one stamp upon it that can never be erased or
worn off or DENOTED even by legislative fat-the
stamp of a'divine authorship. S. Miller in

the state is shown by a compila-

Of. the North Carolina Association
OF Real Estate Boards, according
to G. P. Geoghegan, Jr., Of this

are taken from the monthly sur

key merchants in the three states.
The Reserve banks figures are

course. it will not be adopted by Amerl-
cans and very few people in this country
would be able to settle their obligations m
fuu if they tried this plan. Probably a
large majority of this country's citizens
owe so much that they would need months
or wears to pay up, even if they once oe-
termined to do so; but if the country mace mao
on honest determined effort to do this, 1t
would probably come nearer restoring nor nor
NAL prosperity quickly than any other plan
that could be adopted.
A leading business man OF henderson
,,;lIo made the statement yesterday that II
60 per cent. of the people of Henderson son
county would pay their debts at tins tlme
nrosperity would be restored IN this sec
tion The view of this business man is that
about that proportion of the people could
nav all or a part of their debts, and that
thew are not making any effort to do so.
There is basis of facts for the state
ment of this citizen Nobody is able to ac-
curately estimate what proportion of the
people can pay but will not pay, but it is
certain that some are in that position. Then
there are many more who are spending
their cash for automobiles or other things
they want, and letting their creditors wait
indefinitely for their money.
A town and countrywide effort to settle
bills and pay old debts for the next thirty
DAYS would work a remarkable revival IN
business in Henderson county, and II such
a movement continued long it would reVo-
lutionize conditions in this section.
Local business is experiencing the usual
seasonal dullness, but complaints about To-
cal conditions relate in a large measure TO
the slowness of collections. The community
and section is suffering more from the last
mentioned than from the first named diff

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
THE DRIVER WITH A FEW DRINKS

DIR. William ]. Mayo, of the famous Rochester
Clinic believes that the motorist who goes out on
the highway with just two or three cocktails under
his belt lisa greater menace to public. safety than
the one who goes out blind drunk.
A couple of cocktails, he says, will slow up the
normal mans reaction so that it takes him two 70
four, times as long to react in emergency as a
man without any alcohol in his stomach. cold
sober, driver proceeding at 40 miles an hour will
travel about 25 feet before he can take action to
meet a sqSden danger; the man balasted with a
pair of cocktails will require SO to 100 feet.
'The drunken driver" says DR.. Mayo, twill
crash into a pole before long and thereby take
himself off the road but the driver with only a
couple of cocktails will keep on going, His slowed
up reactions to danger and emergencies constitute
the real menace.'-Concord Tribune.
