Miss Hazel Brannon,
Editor,

Dear Miss Brannon:
1t was very thoughtful of you to
call my attention to the report of
Messrs. Overstreet & Town, Archi-
tects to the Board of Trustees of the
Durant City Schools as to the con-
dition Q. the present school building,
carried in the News of December /
| The editorial In the said issue Of
your valuable paper is most timely.
1t is unnecessary for me to a
that from the very beginning i have
urged the Public Works Administra-
ton to make an allotment to the
project. ! nave left no stone I'M
| turned to secure an ALLEGATION. I
was in Durant on the day Of the
| election. / have examined the build
[ made a personal appeal to the
President in behalf OF the project
I believe that the emergency Is so
| great that ar ALLEGATION should have
been made even though no funds are
generally available for other pro-
iects. 1t is to be regretted that the
| President and the Administrator OF
Public Works have both advised that
no additional funds r available al
present. I will continue to promote
IN ALLEGATION for this most worthy
project at every opportunity.
With personal regards, / am

for he, can raise his food.
The soundest nations are those
strongest agriculturally.
We should not only keep the
people on the farms but get more
of them back to the farms. Why
should the south copy the blum:
ders of the industrial sections?
OF course if industry could be
intelligently planned and operat-
ed inF the south there might be
sense in it. If agriculture and in
dustry could be made to go hand
in hand, each could help the 9TH
err. If every new industrial estab-
lishment in the south were to be
built in the country and every
industrial worker were to have a
sizeable piece of ground and work
in. the factory during the winter
and work his land during the
growing season, then workers
would be protected from starva-
ton when and if the factories
should close down for lack of bus
mess. But leaving the farms and

JoBs WOULD BE IMPERILLEp

If the proposed wage-and- hour bill which
President Roosevelt is bent should be enacted,
many thousands of persons in the South would lose
their jobs because their employers would either
fold up or draw their employees from other fields.
The employees stake in this radical Legislation is
even greater than that of his employer. -
Retail establishments seem to be exempted from
the wage-and-our BILL But are ,they?! Virtually
every retail store in the country is dependent for
its existence upon the ability to buy goods across
state lines and to transport them in interstate COM
merce, so that it would probably come under the
secretary of labor under Section 6.
1t is vital to the rank and file of labor in the
South that it should be warned Of the effect of this
bin Whatever affects business and industry affects
every man and every woman ON the ways rolls.
The federal government cannot, compel a business
or an industry to go forward when it is unable to
keep its feet: Instead of bringing about greater
employment in the South, the wageand hour, bill
would increase unemployment f,s il : %
s. Now Isl the time for individuals over all the
South to let their senators and representatives
know how they stand with respect to thus bill Sen
ators and representatives heed their constituents
when their voices are many and insistent. Many
things have been done by congress IN the last sew
eral years for the reason that opponents nave Deeh
quiet. It is web known that President RooseveiFI
is without considerations for the South mturgihg
that the bill shall be enacted. The situation Is tna'
the president has abandoned the South and IN us
own interest the South should stand united aga'ns'
the measure.-Chafleston News and courier

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
A GREAT RELIGIOUS REVIVAL

We received an article this week from W. o..
Saunders, of Washington; D. c., formerly OF Eliza
beth City. There We're some parts of the article
which dididn't exactly suit us, we sent it back
to him. r. 'L T. 80.
However, there paragraph which arrest
ed our attention rather strongly, and here it is:
Fright now have bunch; bunch that has
taken complete possession of me- That hunch IS
that America and the world are headed for the
greatest religious spiritual revival in the history
of mankind. And this bunch, ] might add, is from
one who has been a religious. outeast and an avow-
ed agnostie for two score years. More: have new
err had what is known as a religious experience in
all my life. But, with all my skeptcism and scorn
of organized religion, / have a hunch that we are
about due for new revelation from God that IS
going to sweep the civilized world and profoundly
influence the destiny of all mankind for our ever
lasting betterment Politicians have failed US, eco
nomists have failed u.s. the militarsts have failed
us In despair we must seek for that divine guild
ance of which we stand in such imminent and tragic
need. Out of this revival may come new and in
telligent devotion to the simple theology of Fa-
therhood of God and Brotherhood of Man, enun-
ciated by Jesus" $3.50 ..-... I'D. &c..
Those of you who know W. O.. Saunders per-
sonally will be particularly interested in the above
paragraph. AS he says, he has been pronounced
agnostic for many years. Coming from him, we
think the statement is of special Significance. If
the ,agnostcs, infdels, unorthodox Christians and
others are beginning to appreciate the Importance
and value of great religious revival then it seems
to US that such revival is indeed near at hand.
As Nh. Saunders says: the politicians, the econo-
mists and the miftarists have ali failed AS. They
have made horrible muddle of things. A spiritual
reawakenng, in which might free our hearts
of the hates with which they are now filled and
substitute instead feeling of brotherly love to
our fellowmen, would do much, we believe toward
solving some of the present problems, of the world

BELIED ALTITUDE: Hender-

The government bench mark to
the left of the postoffice entrance
gives the altitude as 2l46.872
feet, which is plain enough and
sufficiently available for us to be
truthful about it. Within the past
year population and altitude were
placed on highway markers at the
