A CHANGE IN SENTIMENT

In travelling over the state we have found a de-
cided change in sentiment among the masses of the
people so far as Senator Bailey is concerned.
Three months ago it appeared to us that the per-
centage of folks opposed to the Senator was about
to l. If he had come up for reelection at that
time, he would have been defeated overwhelmingly.
Today, if his name were before the electorate of
North Carolina, he still would be defeated but by
nowhere nearly such large margin And as time
goes and as people begin to do more studying of
national affairs we predict that Mr.. Baleys popu-
larity will continue to show steady increase.
People are beginning to awaken to the fact that
loyalty and devotion to ones country is far more
important than loyalty and devotion to ones po-
litical party.-State Magazine.

from the list. And so were such
ardent partisans Of IVA as Scna-
tor George w. Norris of Nebraska
and Congressman Maury Maverick
of Texas.
Last year styles" was being
discretely groomed, promoted and
publicized by certain persons as a
presidential possibility. But the
fellows who used to come around
whispering that Bridges was a
man to be watched and would go
far aren't coming around any
more.
Senator Key Pittman, the Sen
ate's president pro tenn, had to
threaten to clear the galleries be-
cause of the laughter which en-
sued when Senator Tom Connally
of Texas sought to sum up the
Bridges situation by saying:
"Why does he not approach this
question with an open mind, in
stead of an open mouth?"
ONE of the surviving New Deaf
" brain trusterS, who has been
brain-trusting and functioning in
various important capacities al
most since the beginning of the
Roosevelt administration. was
quite frank the other night when
taxed with the fact that there still
seemed to be an enormous amount
of confusion within the admins
tration ranks.
No more confusion than there
always had been, he insisted, and
quoted for a comparison the re-
mark of an old Boer general who
said after the South African war.
"Our lines of communication
were so disorganized that not even
the British knew what we were

WASHINGTON. - Congressman
Is" Bruce Barton of New York, the
handsome advertising man who
wrote The Man Nobody Knows"
remained relatively obscure in
Washington as long as he merely
kept proposing repeal of a law
each week.
But now Mr.. Barton proposes
that a new law be passed and he
is in the headlines. Democrats
are embarrassed by the Barton
proposal. They probably will
manage to bury it, but their faces
will be red just the same. Barton
wants an amendment to the cor
rupt practices act which would
send to prison any official distrib-
uting government funds who in
fluenced the political beliefs or
actions OF a recipient.
It is hard for a politician to
think up any plausible reason why
such a law shouldn't be passed.
Any reason that he can give pub
hcly, that is. But the embarrass-
ment which comes from failing to
get behind such an obviously good
law is by no means equal, in the
case of many politicians, to the
embarrassment which might be
caused by its passage.

RESIDENCE RAZED: Among

RESIDENCE RAZED: Among
the large number of old houses
RACED this spring was that of
Prof. and Mrs. W. G. B. Morris
on Fourth avenue. X. G. Morris,
son of the educator, who was
noted in his day as the directing
force of the Blue Ridge academy
at Dana, later a member of the
faculty of Judson college, nearly
in front of his home, says the
house was about So years old and
was erected by Sheriff Williams,
who sold it to his parents.
Sheriff Williams owned the
block between Buncombe and
Fleming streets and also erected
the Scheper home on the corner
in front of the graded school
building. There were few resi-
dences at that time in that sec
ton.
Prof. Morris and family moved
to Hendersonvillc soon after the
closing of the academy, which in
its day had a great influence over
the county. 1t is understood to
have stood on the site of the pres
ent public school building at
Dana, the grounds for the latter
having been donated in part or on
the whole by the late Judge O. V.
F. Blythe, an alumnus of the
academy.
The deed of conveyance con-
tains much Of sentiment and remi-
niscence, being a rare document
in this respect.
BEES BY THE POUND: The
farm agents office is receiving
shipments of bees from Moultrie,
Ga, by express, for apiarists of
this section. A screened box, hold
ing three pounds of Italian bees,
a container Of food and a queen
with container Of special diet
for queens costs $3.5O.
Farm Agent G. D. White says
this is a good time to buy bees.
He especially thinks well of buy
ing during the sourwood honey
flow in July. He naturally takes
delight in Introducing" the bees
to their new home surroundings
for the farmers. In fact, he's en-
thusiastic about bees as a side
line for making money by garner
ing the sweets from the flowers.

THE NAZI BOOK BURNERS ARE A
LITTLE TOO LATE
(By BRUCE CATT0N)

mere nave OeeR lew lluleS III MoucAA
history when there were as many reasons
for peSsimism about the future of civiliza-
ton as there are today. Nevertheless, 1t IS
also true that ones pessimism can very
easily be overdone.
For although the de-civilizing forces
which are abroad in the world today have
a sweep and power which must not be
under-rated, the opposing forces are not
without power, either. The picture is black,
but it is not all black. The Jeremiahs who
currently predict the downfall of civiliza-
ton may be overlooking few bets.
There is, for instance, the matter of the
.bOOk-burners.
Shortly after the German Nazis took
over Austria, Nazi chieftains announced
that they would purge the famous Austrian
National Library for all "non-Aryan" vol
umeS Considering the way they interpret
ed that sinister catchword in Berlin, this is
apt to mean that almost any book which is
really worth preserving will get tossed into
the bonfire.
Now it happens that the Austrian Ma
tiOnal Library is one of the great libraries
of the world. 1t contains some 100000
books, including thousands of ancient man.
'uscripts and priceless historical documents.
Merely to think of squad of storm troop
,erS going through that collection with carte
blanche to destroy all that is beyond their
understanding is enough to make man
SILVER.
J Such things have happened before. The
ancient library of Alexandria, Egypt, was
once treasure-house of human knowl-
edge. When the Mohammedans burned it
ON the ground that since all man needed
ito know was written in the Koran no other
books were necessary-the world became
measurably poorer, and the slow and pain
iful rise of the human race from barbarism
received a measurable setback.
Yet the book-burnerS in Vienna do not
have the power that the book-burners in
Alexandria had, much as they might like
to have it. They are operating in a totally
different sort of world a world which does
not sit dumbly by while brute ignorance
destroys the heritage of intelligence, but
which bestirs itself to make the loss good.
For the world has moved, after all
Mans progress could be delayed some cen
turtles by the destruction of the Alexandria
library; it cannot be so delayed by the de-
'strQction of the one in Vienna. The wild
.ened horizon represented in those books at
Vienna does not exist in those books alone.
1t has been diffused among thinking men
all over the world.
All of which is sign that human civil
cation rests on stouter pillars now than
used to be. the case. The militaristic Sam
sons may be doing their best to throw those
pillars down, but the job is beyond them
In the end, is it not quite possible that
they will destroy nothing but their own
strength? :

MORE POTATO GENESIS:
Mark Bowen, who celebrated his
SIND birthday last Saturday, read
the Beauty Of Beauties" potato
history of Tom Osborne with
much interest and said he sup
posed he handled the first bushel
of these potatoes offered the mar
ket by Will Pace. He said Mr..
Pace marketed The potatoes
through F. G. Hart, for whom he
worked in the latter's produce
house. He said it was such a SUI
perior potato that it soon sup
planted the Burbank, then the
most popular tuber in the county.
Tom Pace, son Of Will Pace,
said his brother, Frank, later de-
veloped the potato and shipped it
for seed to various South Caro-
lima coastal potato growing sec
tions, and that Mr.. Hart nflu-
enccd his customers to plant the
