He came down from Washington to Raleigh this
week and told members of electric co-operatives
gathered there that because North Carolina had
used up only few hundred thousands of federal
rural electrifcation funds earmarked for her, she
was tagging behind the other states.
The cold truth is that North Carolina, though she
still has long way to go, has made remarkable
progress in rural electrifcation In number of Gus
toners served by rural lines, she now leads the
South She placed fifth in number of farms cleo
trifed in 1897, with an average increase of 80 per
cent against national average of 10 per cent
The most remarkable part of this rural electri-
fcation is that of 1000 miles of lines built since
the program got underway, nine-tenths were put
up and paid for by private power companies, with
out to federal loans. And the fellow comes
down from Washington and tells us that we're
backward because we amt a-borrowing from the

oIJT OF THE PAST

George Gullett Stephens, of Ashevie, was about
the greatest athlete the University of North Caro-
lima has produced maybe the greatest; for he was

football halfback who never was beaten in ground

great unwashed while he made his class work, a
Y NJ C. A praying man and leader and then as
sistant baseball, football and track coach.
He did not see the Pitt-Duke game Saturday,
but he represents the type of Tar Heel, who, un-
able to win the championship honors for them
selves generally root for the Tar Heel team that
can. Here is in part what this back who ran for
Carolina As years ago says: 81 never followed
game that was more definitely based strategy
and moreover strategy based on the course of
the game itself, rather than guess-work plan set
up in advance. 1t was victory where brains were

When Stephens played, the halves 45 min

piled on him that there was further progress to
be made. Then, if he had life enough left to yell

PERFECT SOCIAL SECURITY

Rernarr Macfadden writes in Liberty magazine
that "it is well to remember that you cannot have
sacuritv without paying the price. Any kind of So
cio1 securtv almost regardless of its nature, rebs
ms of a certain amount of freedom.
"And the last word in social security is SEN
+ence 70 life Imprisonment. Then you have plenty
Of security, but your freedom is limited to the
prison yards
"Even unemployment insurance old age pen
s;ors limit free choice. We are compelled by law
to nav for this insurance. We have no choice. 1t
is compulsory
Tbsro vou have the answer to the paternalism of
+bo Roosevelt administration. There is compulsion
whore among free people should be freedom of
choice Federal social security is derived from
taxes on pavrolls and the collections are covered
into the general account of the federal treasury;
they are not set aside separate trust fund.
One niece of compulsion leads to another and
as commission by government increases freedom
retreats It is idle for politicians to say they are
sunporting compulsory practices without taking
anv liberties away from the American people No
farmer is free man; he is creature
of marching bureaucrats, of politicians who are
living off him.
IF the people of America are bent a maximum
of social security, they must make up their minds
that thew shall have to give up their freedom. AL
ready they have given up some of it. Let no one
tell Won differently as President Roosevelt said in
his claim that his administration has wrought pros
peritv. Southern slaves had social security. There
is no perfect social security for free people,

FIND FIERCE CATS
OVERRUN ISLAND

PORT LOUIS. Mauritius, Dec.
1. (UP)-Tens of thousands of
cats have been found to be living
on Frigate, a low coral island 800
miles northeast of Mauritus, a
British island in the India ocean.
The cats are descendants of a
pair which survived a shipwreck
about 80 years ago. They are
large and fierce, and live in bur-
rows, emerging only at night in
search of food, mainly fish.
Guano seekers found that the
cats caught fish in organized fash
ion.
"They form a circle on the dry
reef reaching to the waters edge,
said a surveyor who has returned
from the island "Then Just before
low water they close in, driving
before them all the fish that have
remained behind in the manv
small pools and little channels. A
drive may yield ton OF more of
fish,"
Sometimes a tidal wave may
wash a few hundred, or thousands.
OF cats away, although many man.
age to regain shore. When bad
weather keeps fish away, the cats

FILIPINOS STUNNING
MODERN FLAT LIFE

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 1. (UP)-
President Manuel L. Quezon is
seeking to overcome, by setting a
personal example, the reluctance
of Filipino workers to move into
a modern tenement house built
here by the government.
The Philippine commonwealth
president personally filed applica-
tion to lease one of the apart
ments for a month. The applica-
ton was granted and the presi-
dent paid $3.50 rent for the
month.
After signing the lease, the
president occupied" the apart
ment for a brief rest before re-
turning to Malacanang, the presi-
dental palace.
The government built the tene-
ment-apartments after fire de-
stroyed hundreds of napa-thatch-
ed houses in a Manila slum dis
trict. The apartments were offer
ed to workers for rentals up to
$3.50 monthly. Laborers were
slow to take the leases. Some
said the rental was beyond their
means. Others insisted they pre-
ferred to live in the thatchcd
houses.

side it.
To most people who follow such
affairs it was surprise that he
died possessed Of so much as
S27, 900, 900, large though that may
seem. It was generally supposed
that he had divested himself of
all but a few million-perhaps
three or four. BY various means
he had managed to pipe his vast
fortune into the hands of his son
and daughters and foundations.
He kept a small amount to keep
the wolf from the door.
Also he liked to fool around
with the stock market. He kept
an active account on the stock
market all the time, buying
and selling not so much because
he needed the money but in order
to keep from growing rusty.
Whether he was a good trader is
not known to the public. Many
years ago Andrew Carnegie said
of John D. that he was the poor

knew. AS matter of fact Rookie.
feller never made much of his
fortune that way.
He was, not part of what was
known as the Standard Oil gang,

William, and Henry H. Rogers.
He did occasionally 60 into somS
of their adventures with con-
tribution.. But he was never an
active participant in all those
hectic and daring plunges which
made Rogers famous. Rockefeller

verted what he had left almost
entirely into the most conservative

NEW YORK.-One of the inter
" esting and singular features
about the will of the late John D.
Rockefeller was that the great oil
magnate left among his effects
only a single share of stock in a
Standard Oil Company.
OF course his Standard Oil hold
ngs had long before been distrib-
ated among his foundations, his
son, John D. Jr., and his daugh-
ters. He probably kept that one
share as a souvenir of the vast
empire he had created and out of
which he had made the founda-
ion of his fortune.
But it is an interesting thing
not generally known, that while
Rockefeller made a great fortune
out OF the oil industry, by far the
greater part Of his fortune was
made after he had ceased to be
AhaSiidle, a1ter ne had re-
tired in fact.
When Rockefeller retired at the
turn OF the century, he was worth,
PROBABLY, hundred million dol
iarS-an immense fortune for
tnose times. Later he accumu-
lated fortune that was believed
10 be as much as a billion.
But the striking thing is that
TINS man, in one of the most
acoVe acquisitive careers, was
able to amass a fortune of a hun
dred million, while from sheer in.
Vestment he made almost 10 times
as much.
Rockefeller made his fortune
out of petroleum when its chic
product was kerosene. It was onl,
after his retirement that easolin,

CHRISTMAS is NEAR

IS December first, and the number one holl-
day of the year is only three weeks distant.
Christmas is more generally observed as
holiday, and in more generous and ex-
tensive way, in this section, than any other
holiday. In fact a majority of the other
holidays of the year, excepting July 4th,
receive but Scant attention. But December
has come again and Christmas is coming
,land is only three weeks in the future.
Indications of the approach of Christmas
are to be seen on every side in Henderson
vile and the holiday spirit is abroad in the
city and all the surrounding country. Re-
ports are. that the business houses, espe-
cially the stores, have made unusual prepa-
rations for serving the holiday needs of the
public They are ready to serve on gen.
Ierous scale and are anticipating trade will
be on larger and more satisfactory basis
than last season. The size and range OF
stocks and general preparations made and
making for holiday business, assure that
Hendersonville will maintain well earned
reputation as one of the chief trading cen
The merchants and business men of Hen
Jacksonville have planned and are carrying
through a number of features or special
events for the holiday trade period which
will enliven the remaining business days
until December 25th. These will arouse
and stimulate the holiday spirit and, it is
hoped, will prove to be a stimulus to
:Christmas business. At any rate, there will
he provided both pleasure and profit for
all holiday shoppers in Hendersonville. All
regular and holiday needs in merchandise
ing lines can be supplied and satisfied here
and local business men are confident that
all who make Hendersonville the center of
their holiday buying operations will have
no occasion to regret it or for criticism or
complaint; but, on the other hand, will find
their requirements met and satisfied and
their patronage so thoroughly appreciated
that when Christmas comes they will find
that the experience of trading here has
added immensely to the pleasure of the
holiday season.
The Times-News, therefore, unites with
the business men and concerns of the COM
,munity in extending most cordial invita-
Ition to the holiday shoppers of the COM
immunity and all surrounding territory to
take advantage of the trade opportunities
Offered and to enjoy the holiday shopping
season and Christmas celebration in and
with the residents of Hendersonville.
