LIP SERVICE NOT ENOUGH

1t is not enough merely to swear lip allegiance
TO the name of democracy and yet by every geS-
ture give our assent to political encrOachmentS
which are subty destructive of the democratic
principle of government.
1t is not enough to be treasured even by the
president of the United States and by his counsel
lors of congress that they anchored to democ-
racy" and yet find all leaning toward, if not &C
tually advocating, an ever-increasing expansion OF
the powers Of the federal government over the in
herent and fundamental liberties which democracy
bequeaths.
For let us be reminded that the oncoming of
dictator government is by the symptoms of creep
ing paralysis of the instincts of self-government
We are told that individuals are incapacitated
by self-interest to accommodate themselves to the
benefits of liberty, that society if left to its ind-
vidual self will be consumed, unless there is higher
I'D intervention by the brutal process of the strong
er consuming the weaker
And therefore, the logic of dictatorship is that
by constant hammering at the weaknesses and the
numbering and laundering process Of democracy,
sentiment will build up in favor of strong fed
eralized control-the individual will more and more
come to feel that his individual salvation rests not
with himself but with his central government
Here is the subtle temptation Of America today
which so Immediately mperils the future of democ-
racy.
Dictatorship is not offering itself to us by its
right name.
1t is gradually easing its way to the throne by
the bait of federal succor and federal bounty and
federal subsidy to the individual or to the pres
sure-groups of individuals who either demand more
than they deserve or more than they are entitled
to receve-Charlotte Observer.

IS THE SOUTH LOSING HER FARM MARKETS?

The answer to this question will affect every
farmer and every person in the South. In 1881 the
South produced 63 per cent of the worlds cotton
crop. Then while we were reducing our cotton
crop by two million bales, other nations took ad-
vantage of this situation and increased their pro-
duction by several million bales, so that this year
it looks as if the South will produce only "A per
cent of the worlds cotton crop.
These are startling figures. If this were happen
ing to any private individuals business, he would
be grey-headed with worry. .. .....
There is another factor about the cotton crop
which we do not all realize. Many people in the
South in addition to farmers dependent on cot
ton The crop must be ginned, baled transported
i'm trucks and freight cars-must be warehoused
factored and handled by exporters and commits
sion merchants. There are thousands of people in
the South whose livelihood depends on the handling
and transporting of cotton A big crops means lots
of business; small crop means extremely poor
business When all these factors are considered
We can see how dangerous it is for the South to
lose her farm markets.-Federation News.

WINTER TOURIST BUSINESS

Several days ago The Times-News lntfo-
duced the subject of winter tourist business
for this place, with special reference TO
Hendersonville as place of residence our
ing the winter for people from the north-
ern and western states.
Such discussion as we have heard since
bringing up the subject confirms the opih-
ion that there is business to be developed
in this direction. Real estate men are III
contact with families residing in other sec
tons of the United States, who will come
here to spend the winter if suitable houses
can be secured. Good winter homes are
desired. From the standpoint of construc-
ton and conveniences and comforts, this
means better type of buildings than the
average summer house.
1t must be admitted at once that the
problem presented by this movement is not
one easy of solution. Hendersonville's per-
manent population, at the present time, IS
occupying nearly all houses available for
winter residence. There are accommoda-
tons at hotels and at certain boarding
houses for winter visitors. These accom-
modations will be found satisfactory, but
they do not meet the needs of families de-
string to occupy homes.
This is, briefly, the situation confronting
Hendersonville. There is winter tourist
business to be secured, in so far as this
place is able to offer satisfactory residen-
tial accommodations to meet the needs of
visitors.
Of course, there is now no time for plan
ming and building for the present season;
but the opportunity to do business is un-
doubtedly presented for the future. If this
winter tourist business is to be developed,
there must be planning and preparation to
take care of it.
Here is matter in which the entire COM
munity and section is interested. Primarily,
it is a matter of chief concern to the real
estate men; but if it should lead to con-
struction and other community develop
ments, it would become a matter Of direct
interest to many other business men. Any
movement that brings people, money and
business to Hendersonville is an important
consideration to all residents.
What is the community going to do
about the winter tourist business?
This business is knocking at Henderson
ville's door. 1t is certain it can be de-
veloped and established over period of
years. Time, effort and cash will be need
ed to make success of the movement.
This must come from the business men
most directly interested, from the Cham
Der of Commerce and our other community
organizations, and from those sources hav-
ing money to invest.
