Use of the Lash Returns

AFTER BEING OUTLAWED, the use of the
lash in prison camps has been restored. Those
who disapprove of the use of the whip should
visit the clark holes" where incorrigible pri
soners are kept on bread and water. They would
undoubtedly agree that a thorough but not
brutal thrashing would be far better than shut
ting criminal up in such place as that.
More often than not the dark hole is too
small for the prisoner to stand up He must lie
or sit in the dark in solitary confinement, with
only bread and water for food. His health not
only suffers after several days of this, but his
bad disposition has plenty of room to grow
worse than it was when he did something to be
put in there for He has time to brood over his
sad plight and grow more and more unruly.
Those of us who've grown up with parents who
believed in using the rod to keep from spelling
us know that lash rightly used is an excellent
corrective for great many evils 1t gives us the
punishment we need and gets it over with, leav
ing us with no further bad taste in our mouths
than slightly sore back or pair of legs.
Of course, the use of the lash in prison camps
can become an inhuman thing if it is used for
flogging instead of just good old-fashioned
whipping that the government has to administer
because the hapless victim did not get enough
of it in his youth.

Hero Worshippers

A VAST NUMBER OF OUR good Americans
are in bad way of becoming hero worshippers.
A king throws away throne and the training
of a lifetime for a woman who has had poor
success with two husbands already and we i'm
mediately set them up on a pedestal Amelia
Earhart loses herself in the vastness of the
Pacific Ocean and the nation ruSheS to read all
news articles on the success our government
ships and planes are having in trying to locate
her, forgetful that our navy is spending money
to the tune of $25OOOO day in the search
Many man has run off with another mans
wife and has not been praised to the skies for
his courage and many man and woman have
lost their lives in foolhardy attempts to do some
thing different or "just for fun" without having
the government pay them so much attention.
We sincerely hope that Miss Earhart is found,
but there is great deal of truth in the question
Congressman Fadds, of Pennsylvania, asked
Congress this week: "Do you think that if some
poor fisherman, the father of family, got him
self lost out on the Pacific the navy would be
spending $25O,OOO day to look for him."
We poor common folk may not be SO import
ant to the world as those who have become
famous, but we love life as we'll as anybody else
and to our own family and friends, we still
mean everything even if we can lose our lives
without any further notice being taken of us
than somebody's saying, "Well the poor soul is
better off where he is"

Time to Get in on First Round

WHETHER WE AGREE with the big advertis-
ing program approved by the last General
Assembly or not, work is being started this
month on spending $25OOOO to make the nation
realize that North Carolina is the best state in
the union for wealthy tourists to visit and spend
their money.
If North Carolina is the best state among the
other forty-eight for tourists to visit who are IN
search of good water, air. scenery, and sports,
Ashe county could easily top the list of the one
hundred counties in furnishing these require
ments But if we sit down and wait for the state
to send somebody up here to find out about us,
all the space will be taken up by other inferior
but more ambitious sections.
To get in on the ground floor of this adver-
Using campaign, our progressive citizens should
get together and map out some plan that could
be followed in order to get us fully represented
in the advertising campaign that is being
launched We don't know exactly how one goes
about getting in on this, but we do know that if
we do not investigate and make an effort to get
in, we will find ourselves as so often do
left sitting up here Gods own country with
nobody but ourselves knowing about it.
We have all the trimmin's for the perfect
spot for attracting all the attention we want
from the state and nation. 1t is up to us now to
see that we get this information broadcast.
$25OOOO is no small pile of money. 1t is going
to be spent for telling the world Let us be sure
that we get some of the benefit of the amount
being spent.
