Just certain shyness about his own personal

But he could never quite lose his interest

LEE AND LIQUOR

If the present generation of SouthernerS respect
and revere the memory of that courageous gentle
man Robert E. Lee, as did their forbears, re-
cent act of several North Carolina county liquor
boards should have marked and helpful effect.
In Edgecombe, Wake and Pitt counties, the Of
icials have ordered displayed four-color posters
bearing the familiar likeness of the beloved
"Marse Robert" and his advice to youth:
"My experience through life has convinced me
that while moderation and temperance in all things
are eommendable and beneficial, abstinence from
sprituous liquor is the best safeguard to morals
and health"
The Virginia soldier and educator well knew the
evils of alcohol. He had had ample opportunity to
observe its effects in his years of service in two
armies and two wars, and he practiced the alb
stinence that he preached. His quoted advice has
a parallel in the words of Mary Baker Eddy, foun-
der of this newspaper, who wrote miscellaneous
Writings, p. 2S9) ,'
Strong drink is unquestionably an evil, and
evil cannot be used temperately; its slightest use
is abuse; hence the only temperance is total ABB
stinence."

troll of North Carolina endeavoring to live I'd to

WHO WILL EXPLAIN?

In Washington yesterday WPA approved a
S3O2727 grant for two new buildings at Winthrop
college in Rock Hill 1t will be perfectly dandy, We
concede with the utmost cheerfulness, for Win
throp girls to have new auditorium and a new
home economics building; but PWA grant is
only euphemisn for hand-out, and why, will
somebody please tell us, should the federal govern
ment hand out $780,, 727 to Winthrop college?
Winthrop is a state institution, and the State of
South Cardinals budget is nicely balanced. Its
taxpayers are feeling no extraordinary pain and
its credit is excellent which means that it could
borrow all the money it cared to. On the other
hand donors budget is out of balance and has
been for six years; its taxpayers have been socked
and socked again. Only it's credit is in Al shape,
which it would have to be to float additional bor-
rowings top of debt exceeding 81 billions.
And still the spending goes on.
It's simple polite question we have asked and
we hope somebody will take time out to answer IT.
Why should the federal government pay for I'M
provements of a strictly local type which the 10
eaites and the states are better able to afford OH
their own hook?-Charlotte News

TRADERS OF BIRTHRIGHT FOR PoTTAGE

John Stuart Mill was born in 1906 and died IN
1878. Somewhere between those dates ne pniioso-
phized on the value of liberty and what taxes
to maintain it. He couldn't foresee ruooer-s'ainp
congress- the designation more generaiiy appi'eu
to the present one than any other in history, but
he knew what had gone before and the evil OF
consulting the itching palm that puts self and pat
ronage and prefermeht, above country Mill says:
"a people may prefer a free government; but
if from Incidence or careessness, or cowardice' OF
want of public spirit, they unequal to the exer-
tons necessary for preserving it; if they will not
fight for it when directly attacked; II they can be
deluded by the articles used to cheat them out Oh
it; if by monetary dseourasemem' OF .einpo,ary
panic or a fit of enthusiasm for an individual,
tbev .sn he induced to lay their liberties at the
feet of even a great man, or trust him with powers
which enable him to subvert their institutions-in
these cases they are more less unfit for liberty"

to be generally accepted-So
much so that | dare any politician
to come out and denOunce it; that
would be as quick way to COM
nit political suicide as any | can
think of. Municipal ownership of
water works, of electric power
plants and power lines, of parks,
Fairgrounds, is socialism pure and
simple. Police departments, fire
departments, public Libraries and
socalistic enterprises. Sewage dis
posal and garbage collection fall
in the same class.
1t is nonsense to throw up the
hands at the suggestion Of social
ism; however, because certain
amount of a thing is good is no
argument that a lot more Of the
same thing is better. A small
quantity of a certain kind of poi
son is eXcellently stimulating, but
a large dose is just too bad.
1t has been proved to almost
everybody's satisfaction that the
specialization Of certain enrerpriz-
es is fine for everyone except
those who would like to profit
personally by the ownership Of
such enterprises. But how far
shall we go? There is one distance
in socialism | should like to see
US go as far as we have gone in
free education. / should like to
see medical care made just as
free as education. To me it is
more pitiful to see people suffer
ing for lack of medical care than
for lack of education. And the
education of the individual is
necessary to the welfare Of him
self and the social order.
WHY EDUCATE THEM?

Our civilization has already be-
come complex and is becoming
more and more complex. A per-
son has to be educated to the ne
ceSSity Of cooperating with this
complex civilization and taught
how to do it before he will and
ran do it, for it is not natural;
It's against human nature. The
human nature has to be educated
out of most Of us before we can

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WHY NOT BAILEY?

The radicals have three years in which to elect
a conservative president the next time electing is
DONE The period looks none too ample; it might
serve. Most surface appearances at the moment
indicate that they have the administration at
Washington solidly behind them; e force OF meal
culable power Recent utterance OF President
Roosevelt is considered tantamount to dec
laration in favor of unlimited majority govern
ment II he has in fact reached that position, it is
one from which it is unlikely he will retreat.
On the other hand, there is the lack of unity
amongst radical forces. AS long their power is
divided. their achievements will be relatively fu-
tile. If they cap present united front, soon, the
country may be in for amazing experiences in
deed Whether the country would elect con-
servative president next time will depend, it is
reasonable to suppose, the character and extent
of the amazement.
Unrestrained radicasm in legislation and ad-
minstraton has produced that sort of reaction
amongst people much nearer socialism than our
people are supposed to be. If the conservative
element amongst the general population are really
frightened, subjected to extreme shock, irked or
disconnected to an extreme degree they will ex-
ert something like the extremity of their powers
to place the government in conservative hands.
The great irrtant at present, is high visible tax
alton. 1t is an abiding wonder that the powers
that be, who find their necessities constantly IN
creasng. do not substitute diffused, concealed
system of obtaining their vast revenues They run
a constant risk of decline in business that would
make it necessary to do that anyway, adding con-
cealed taxes to visible.
If consttutionalist is to be the next president,
why not Josiah William Bailey? Because, first OF
all, comes the pat reply, he is not Republican!
We wonder whether that reply is an answer. Who

Within the Hendersonville area,
unseen by tourist or resident who
rolls down the main highway is a
resort attraction probably with
out its duplicate elsewhere in the
world.
Switchboard, a game of in
creasing popularity as recrea-
ton feature, both public and pri-
vate, is generally played on con-
crete Kinks laid in open spaces.
Three and one-half miles west Of
this city at Brightwaters resort,
S. J. Childs presents a marked
improvement with four modern
SWITCHBOARD courts, all under
cover. Forming part of the par
manent construction is a two
story clubhouse, and from the
front porch one views setting
of pastures and wooded slopes,
topped by Jumpoff mountain in
the distance. In harmony with
rustic surroundings, logs and ma
tive rock are featured in the
buildings.
The two original courts follow
the standard outdoor pattern. In
the additional courts, recently
completed, Mr.. Childs has embod-
led an original idea of solid black
color for the main concrete Sec
tions, with end designs in white
cement.
Located under roof, unfavor-
able weather has no effect on the
rink surfaces, and these can be
maintained in exceptionally fine
playing condition for both day
and night games. This unsual
opportunity for constant skilled
performance is exceptionally in
teresting to guests from Florida,
where the game is a major attrac-
ton during the winter season.

ONE FARMER SOLVES THE TENANT
PROBLEM
CBy BRUCE CATION

The southern share-cropper lives on
dreary soil-depleted farm in an unpalnteo
shack with a sagging porch and strips OF
burlap over broken window panes. he Is
a taciturn person who emphasizes his ST.
lence with frequent elections OF tobocco
Juice, prefers to hunt with mourntul
hounds, seldom sees five dollars In cash
and his credit is limited. His wife is
barefoot Slattern and his staring children
will grow to be repEcas of their father.
And with that picture you have the
share-cropper as the rest Of the United
States sees him, and as he frequently IS.
His position has come to be lamented
evil, though an accepted one.
But is it? One Georgia planter says
"No," emphatically, and demonstrates.
Martin NJ. Norman applied business meth
DDS to his share-cropping situation and
reaped as he says, both cash and human
dividends. .,.. e..
Named as one of Georgia's master
farmers of 1887" Norman owns 1000 acres
near Hartwell and he has no tenant prob
lem," although there are % share-crop-
pers and six renting tenants on his land.
All of Norman's tenants agree to a pro-
gram which he has mapped out after years
of experimenting, but which would not ve
difficult for any land holder to follow.
Each share-cropper must plant small
portions of his plot in clover and peas and
the remainder is divided between cotton,
10 x.,hn nd
oflgarden. The diversifcation insures the
tenants of at least some crops in case mn
favorable weather conditions or pests der,
stroy the others. His generous garden
space assures him of food for himself and
his family almost the year around. BY ro7,
tarng the crops his soil is conserved and
continues to produce. lAG 'y 90
Martin encourages competition between
the tenant farmers, and takes them on
periodic tours of the entire 200 acres, al
lowing them to discuss conditinos and
methods. He insists that all children at
tend school. The tenant homes are COM
Portable and kept in repair. ., a 81.
The average tenant on Martins farms
stays 10 years and there, are some who
have been there 80 years. That doesn't
seem odd, under the conditions. The share
choppers are making more money for Mar
tin, but they also are making more for
themselves. ...a., ~ co..
What Martin has done merely proves
that the, share-cropper problem can be
licked. Martin attacked the situation and
applied common-sense business methods.

ing act and the struggle over con-
firmation Of Senator Black to the
Supreme Court drew the largest
crowds, in the order named.
In the House, members reported
privately, no such cloakroom rage
had ever been observed as that
exhibited by northern urban and
western farm state congressman
when the southern cotton bloc put
over the $65,000,000 authorization
of customs receipts for subsidies
supplementing the loans to guar
antee 12-cent cotton. This last
day outburst of sectional feeling
based on the idea that cotton
prices were no more important
than other farm prices and the
wage-hour bill - probably will
carry over to the next session.
Most Washington correspondents
were surprised at the number of
private confessions from members
of all parties and factions that
they wanted ITO get home and find
out what's going ON. Pro and
nti-administration members alike
wanted to mix with the rank
and file before they could be
sure how the bulk of their con-
stituents felt about their own per-
formanceS and national issues.
Apparently the mystery has
been settled as to whether Con-
gresham Edward E. Cox of Ca
milla, Ca, one of the Democratic
rules committeeman who kept the
wage-hour bill off the floor, ac-
tually bet $50 in advance that the
bill wouldn't come to a vote.
Hearing reports that Cox had
offered to make such a bet, GER
tain indignant members COM
planned to Majority Leader Sam
Rayburn. Rayburn returned, re-
porting Cox had said 1t was "a
windy" meaning a rhetorical bet
made with no thought of an actual
wager. 20 SIC 's';a y. 05..

is already owned and claimed. A
human being coming here might
find himself also owned and
claimed should he happen to be
born in one of the sections of the
globe where slavery is still prac-
tised and lawful. But all that is
part of the business of being a
human being. Just what TO do
about it is not in the cards, eX-
cept to do the best one can while
one is here and try to get fit for
something better elsewhere.
