GOV. STANFORD

That Nogales is destined to be q

C. Stanford of Arizona
eff were a young lawyer just

out my shingle in Nogales," he told
the publisher of the Nogales Inter
national at his office in the state
house at Phoenix the other day.
The governor, who is an attorney
by profession and former judge of
the superior court of Maricopa
county, said that Nogales will have
rapid growth for the following
reasons:
l. Located on the American
Mexican border it is the gate
way to the great West Coast Of
Mexico.
2. 1t has an ideal climate.
3. Scenery n d beautiful
mountain drives surrounding
the city will attract more tour
lists and new settlers each year.
The publisher of the Nogales In

Stanford for the past 81 years and
is aware of the fact he knows the
tourist trade has been one of the
main factors in building up Phoe-

THEY MADE RECORD TO BE
PROIJD OF

The men and women of Asheville and
HenderSOnville composing the relief party
which went to Louisville to render aid to
the people of that stricken city, have re-
turned to their Carolina homes, having
made record in the Kentucky city which
merited and won for them the highest
praise of all the Louisville people contact
ed during their stay of around ten days.
So great was the appreciation of Louis
vile for the services of the Carolinians
that Mayor Neville Miller vowed that the
main body of relief workers, which return
ed home Wednesday, should make the re-
turn Journey in Pullman cars; and the
Louisville mayor secured the Pullmans for
them. The relief workers went to Louis
Vile in ordinary passenger coaches and
there would have been no complaint about
returning the same way.
The appreciation of the home folks for
the splendid record of the Asheville-Hen-
Jacksonville unit is no less marked than
that of the people of Louisville. These
men and women worthily represented
North Carolina as State, and the noun
tain region in particular, in their organ
lied. systematized and valiant service.
This company was equipped and organized
to do real service on arriving in Louisville
and, in addition to the work of rescuing
flood victims and saving lives, the supplies
sent from this section were used in feeding

No thought of rendering this service for
publicity or glory entered into the calcula-
tions of the North Carolinians; but, as a
matter of fact, in this day of newspaper
enterprise, it is impossible to escape the
publicity and the accompanying glory,
when company of men and women rem
der service of such high order.
The Times-News is delighted to give
credit where credit is due and to say to the
ville-Hendersonville unit that the peo-
pie of this section and of the State recog-
nize in their record service that showed
the courage and resourcefulness which
Carolinians have always displayed in time
of emergency.

conditions in the Palmetto State by NAM
ing South Carolina "a State that was
great" Undoubtedly some of the glory OF
great minds and characters has departed
from South Carolina. If DR.. Ball is making
the comparison of DR.. Kirkland with the
present day group of "bellhop statesmen"
in his State, it is probably true that car
load of this gentry would count for less IN
manhood, intelligence, courage and real
service to mankind than one citizen OF the
calibre of DR.. Kirkland.
And as we pay tribute to the retiring
Vanderbilt chancellor, let us sincerely
hope that the day may soon come when
South Carolinians will cease to swallow
the flubdub fed them by their own and ma
tional misleaders, when they will have re-
covered their sanity, and will truly consld-
err that much of the glory of their State

fact that it produced, in the past, num-

a tribute that is certainly deserved, to
Chancellor James H. Kirkland, for nearly
half century the head of Vanderbilt Uni
versity, who has resigned his position with
that great educational institution. The
Charleston paper says:
Often The News and Courier has said that
many of the strongest and best natives of South
Carolina live in other states. 1t has sometimes
referred to Chancellor James II. Kirkland as one
of these Were the writer asked to vote for the
foremost of them he could scarcely prefer an

But he entertained her. He was
dashing, witty; he knew all the
answers; ne knew how to pay COM
plimcnts gracefully; and how to
make love deliciously. SO the girl
played around with him.
She laughed at the very idea Of
marrying him. Absurd. He was
not to be trusted. He was totally
unsuited to be any woman's hus-
band or any child's father. She
wouldn't marry him for the world.
Not she! But she enjoyed his
company. What harm in that? She
knew how to take care of herself
she did.
But that bright young woman,
wise in her own cOnccit, did not
know or had lost sight of the fact
that there is such a thing as sex
hypnotism, which is as subtle as a
serpent and as impcrceptible in its
approach as carbon monoXide
and that once it gets its hooks in
to q person, that person may be
more helpless than in the tolls of

When SeX-madness strikes. in

WASHINGTON - Anyone who
w knows the New Deal inside out
realizes that one of its most
praiseworthy aims has been to
keep the United States on the mid
die road of democracy, and away
from the forks which lead to
Fascism and Communism.
Stain. Hitler, Mussolini, and
their satellites are still saying it
can't be done. Events in Europe,
however, have intensified the de-
termination Of Roosevelt and his
most thoughtful associates.
The administration continues to
be attacked from both the right
and the left, and it has been
called both Communist" and
"Fascist" by persons who usually
knew better, but it will bend itself
more iorcefully, as arising circum-
stances require, to maintaining a
liberal democracy.
All of which is more than q few
pious remarks. At least a couple
of cabinet members are under
stood to lie awake nights occa-
siona!ly, worrying about the men,
ace of Fascism. Some Of the most
radical" brain-trusters have been
almost Realistically respondent in
the belief that Fascism is on the
way.
THERE are many in the govern
ment who favor one extreme
system or the other, and many
more who believe a choice be-
tween the philosophy of Moscow
and that of Berlin cannot for MANY
years be escaped.
And there are still many others
who insist that no effort should be
4 spared to avoid the choice In
TACT, the issue has become a lugu-
orious but persistent topic of
conversation, and the election
hasn't caused it to subside.
