which determine the character of nations Where or

management of household, the conducting of trade
or profession, the government of nation.
Accuracy is also of much Importance, and is nvar-
IDLY the high mark of good training in Accuracy

What is done in business must be we'll done, for it
IS better to accomplish perfectly small amount of

.tf., Three Pillars Of Progress

1t does not matter whether doing all we can,
whether trying to get by the expense OF some
one ese there very few people who have desire to
make some progress The desire, however, is greater
much greater in than in Others but nevertheless
there an urge in lazy person to want something
better than what he has Therefore, probably the best
definition give for progress is the least desire one
has that prompts him to the slightest action toward
such desire. Progress may be made in many ways but
regardless of whether it in material things not the
result shows itself No person group of persons can
make any form of progress which will not be known at
time. Among some of the essentials to progress
are Religion, Education and Character. have chosen to
call these essentials Pillars. Pillars in used
the supporting part element. That part that
is all important and necessary We need not hope to set
out to build anything substantial without strong pill
lars We often speak of foundations but believe that al
though the pillar may be considered part of the founda
ton, it is certainly the first part.

EDUCATION

The third pillar of progress in my opinion, is Edu-
cation Doors do open unless prepared to
enter Opportunities pass by when have nothing to
offer We must be able to give the world something if we
expect to receive any portion of it's goods Education
the whole of mans life The perplexng problems
of life require trained minds solve them Today there
is no excuse for to grow up ignorant Practically
all rural schools have we'll trained teachers and the
young man woman today should not let the chance
s}ip More and the people will find education
sary II whatever they attempt to do 1t thought
that farming did not require education but today edu
cation just necessary for the farmer for any other
business professional 1t must be remembered,
however that the of education is life long, and
those who reach certain marks in life feeling they have
know enough certain to retard their progress.
Therefore, if we would enjoy continuous progress

Republicans of Henderson coun-
ty closed their campaign for votes
in Tuesdays election with Organ
ization Night, a rally held at the
county court house, attended by
between four and five hundred en-
thusiastic supporters. ,
Speakers at the rally attacked
the national New Deal policies of
the Roosevelt administration and
urged voters to support the Hen
derson county Republican ticket,
which they declared to be com.
posed of capable, experienced
business men.
The principal speaker on the
occasion was Jake F. Newell, of
Charlotte. veteran North Carolina
Republican leader, and chairman
of the State Republican executive
committee. :.
At the outset Of his address,
Mr.. Newell declared that he had
no quarrel with the Democratic
party, but he declared that the
Democratic party was dead: 1t
was not killed by the Republican
party. he said, but was slain IN
the house of its friends by men
who professed to be Democrats.
The New Deal, he said, is a
cadayer clothed in the garments
of the Democratic party.
If the American system OF gov
ernment is to be saved, he said, 1t
must be saved by both Republicans
and Democrats. 1900
The New Deal started in 1857

promised. but he declared that the
District of Columbia and half OF
the State of Maryland had been
filled by federal employees.
He scored efforts of the New

duction and declared that it was
blasphemy to destroy the bounty
given by Divine Providence.
If the American people surren'

they will give up not only thell
liberty but their security as well
he said.
Attacking New Deal spending
he declared that the national deb
had reached 40 billion dollars. He
was pessimistic about ever paying
this debt off, but declared that il
might be retired if people were
allowed to work. But, he declared
the New Deal is trying to teacf
