CAN THIS BE CIVILIZATION?

Civilization can but gaze in horror at the crimes
perpetrated in its name while crumble every force
and crossbeam of its structure under avalanche
of Pagansm of such scope that even heather minds
must withdraw in terror from its contemplation.
It is not pretty picture, a pleasant thought
But it is reality AS real the hundreds of bombs
unleashed on Barcelona; as real the shamblea
of that once beautiful Spanish city; real the
hundreds of corpses that only few days ago were
living men and women, boys and girls, and sucking
babes but which now lie in the streets, their lives
blasted out by fellow human beings in the name of
civilization.
1t is no pretty picture, but it is an accurate
preyiew of wars increasing horrors, and the tao
tics of humankind bent selfdestruction 1t tells
its own story of things to
Can this be civilization, when the instruments
perfected for its good are converted into weapons
for it's humiliation?
Can this be civilization, when world leadership
abandons every spiritual force and sleeps its hands
in the blood of innocents to exalt its own superb
ority?
Can this be civilization, which deadens the world
conscience into submission to acts which civiliza-
ton has been led to believe were sin even to bar
barans?
Can this be civilization which condones by its
silence the rape of what it has held to be sacred
and inviolate?
Can this be civilization, which wihks at deceit
and ignores Generalization of standards as vital
to its perpetuation to its progress thus far along
the road of human ideals?
The answer to these questions is 'no." 1t is not

question OF what Mexico, aSSum-
ing entire good faith in this COM
pensation matter, expects ID use
for money.
Other annoying facts are that
indemnity negotiations might drag
on for years and that Mexico may
have internal troubles meanwhile.
The Mexican appropriation law,
enforced on the allegation thai oil
companies had defed an arbfral
wage award, calls for indemnity
payment within 10 years.
President Cardenas is re.
garded by high American d Dr.
Gals as probably the most honest,
sincere president Mexico has had,
and entirely devoted to the inte-
ests of the Mexican people. BIT
he is not shrewd in his intern;t
tional relationships, it is believed
and radical advisers are though
to have given him bad advice ii
the oil matter. !
Cardenas is likely to have trou-
BILE with his own people if Mexico
can't market the oil and derive
income therefrom. It's doubted
here that Mexico can sell the oil
and get profitable price, since
she has no outlets.
Despite brave promises from
the cleft" Cardenas government
to sell only to democratic ma
TONS" officials suspect that if it
sticks to its present policy it will
have to sell chiefly-and cheaply
to Germany, Italy and Japan.
The issue is headache for all
concerned and no State Depart
ment official yet ventures to pre-
dict how it will be determined.

PIEDMONT PEACHES

The weather man permitting, Spartanburg coun-
ty will produce large peach crop this year and
one that should be of excellent quality. 1t also
should be profitable to the growers. The trees have
shed their blossoms and have passed through the
most dangerous stage SO far as the young fruit IS
concerned. Low temperatures in the next two
weeks might do great damage to the crop, but only
unusual and unseasonal cold could do it.
News from Georgia indicates that the recent colo
in the peach belt injured the trees and may reduce
the crop as much rs per cent. 1t is hardly prop
able that damage has been done peaches IN areas
north Of South Carolina.
Perhaps no other peach growing section mas oeer
favored as has that in Spartanburg county. During
the is years since peach growing was introduced II
the county, the crop has seldom been injured os

According to survey made by h =. cother
division freight and passenger agent o. tne Hou'h

will be in bearing in the South Carolina P1edmon
during the season of 1888. He believes that the
number of bearing trees in 1924 VIII be l'3oS,ol

CANADA BIDS FOR

making a successful bid to cap

Denmark for many years has

BEHIND THE SCENES

State Department and even the
threat of war.
BY no mere coincidence, Under

made a speech last December
which contains the answer to the
question OF what this government
intends to do about Mexico's ex-
preparation Of American oil prop

SPEAKING OF CONFINEMENT

The buzzard is probably the
most contented Of birds. He has
no quarrel with any creature
since he has nothing any other
creature wants. And the Sbuzzard
is- big enough and powerful
enough so he is not molested.
Sailing high in the heavens on a
bright day with a full craw the
buzzard is the personitication of
contentment.
So if contentment is all we hu-
man beings think we want, we
might consider the buzzard and
ask ourselves if, after all, con-
tentment is all we want.

WHITMIRE FOR CONGRESS

This congressional district Is 10 "IIheo'
something seldom seen in the past twenty
years. That is fight for the Democratic
EArty nomination. In recent years the GUS
tom has been to hand the nomination TO
Congressman Zeb Weaver with full per-
3 mission to roll up a big majority in the
November election against the Republican
candidate. This time the Congressman IS
going to have fight to get the nomination,
according to the statements and prognostl-
cations of R. Lee Whitmire and his friends.
That the Henderson county man will
give the veteran Congressman tussle for
the honor of carrying the Democratic ban
ner in the Fall campaign is a foregone
conclusion. Senator Whitmire will rally
more and stronger support in opposition to
Weaver, certainly than has been witnessed
in many years, probably more and strong
er opposition than has ever been thrown
against the Congressman within the party.
Whitmire is comparatively young in
years, but old enough to have made rec
ord of service in the World War, and prob
ably viii have district-wide support from
veterans He is citizen of recognized abil-
ity as an attorney, public speaker, and
Democratic party leader.
Possessing the usual and ordinary quail
fications of candidates for Congress in the
present day, his announcement and plat
form indicate capacity and determination
= on the part of Senator" Whitmire to be
. Toll nj
aspirant for seat in the national House
, To thousands of his fellow citizens. this
will offer the greatest encouragement and
promise of the campaign, if the candidate
in the course of the race and the develop,
tnent of his contest, succeeds in convincing
the public of his thorough ability to carry
through in the direction indicated.
sThere are certainly many thousands OF
voters in the Democratic party at the pres
eht time who are willing and anxious ia
support a congressional district leader who
takes a courageous and independent posi-
!tien, lays down a sound and conservative
platform of American principles, and
proves that he has the manhood, intelli.
gence and knowledge of public affairs to
go before the people in a sincere, frank
and fearless fight to win seat in Congress
That many of these citizens will openly
and vigorously support Whitmire is Ger
,tainty of this campaign
These and other reasons which this
newspaper may mention from time to time
guarantees a real fight for the Democratic
nomination in the Eleventh District as the
Henderson county candidate sallies forth
toseek the seat occupied for nearly twenty
years in Washington by our friend, Zet
Weaver of Buncombe.

GOOD GIRLS

GOOD GIRLS
Recently when I spoke to the
principal of a domestic science
school about getting a substitute
for our maid who was going on
her annual vacation she replied,
"There isn't one of our girls not
working whom ! could recon-
mend"
There is a world of significance
in the phrase, "whom | could rec
ommend." A fact is there are not
enough capable domestic servants
to 60 round. And another fact is
only a certain percentage OF girls
are capable of being trained into
capable domestic servants-or, as
they are now being designated,
household assistants.
