NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
WE LOSE AN INDUSTRY

A 100000 cigarette paper plant, something
new in the United States, which has been import
ing almost all of its cigarette paper from France,
is to be established in Pennsylvania county, North
Carolina near Brevard and not far over the state
line from Greenville.
We congratulate Pennsylvania and Brevard for
which their neighbor Greenville has only the best
of wishes.
At the same time We take the occasion to EN-
phasiZe the necessity for frendlier attitude TO-
ward industry the part of the South Carolina
legislature by stating our emphatic belief that
Greenville county would have had this plant if that
attitude had been better.
Business and industry in late years have been
afraid of South Carolina legislation, and with Just
cause
negotiable taxation is a spot and needless
regulatory measures, such the 40-hour law
either exist or are threatened
.Greenville county and South Carolina need ST.
900, 900 industries. They need lots of industries
large and small.
Shall we impede our own progress?-Greenville

his real intentions.

The newspapers take the record OF tne
President and of what he has done Tor tne
country and put it down alongside the
plainly indicated beliefs and purposes Oh
the man, and find what they are convinced
no good American citizen can accept ell
dorse or support That places the news
papers in the position of being compelled
to pusillanimously turn into rubber stamps
or to take the harder and more difficult
course of condemning and opposing the
so-called new deal.
AS far as this matter concerns and al
fects honest, fearless, patriotic newspapers
"a majority of the countrys newspapers
can be so classed) it can be stated that
their opposition to the administration ana
the greater part of its program is entirely
based on principle. The chief concern OF
the newspapers is the welfare of the coun-
try. If they did not sincerely believe that
great service was being rendered IN OPP
posing this program they would not be en-
gagged in it. Newspapers do not wage dill
fcult and costly fights like their opposition
to the new deal merely as a whim or Tor
any small and unworthy motive.

GEN. JOHNSON IN CHARLOTTE

With much of the content Of Generel Johnson'S
address here, this newspaper is in support and
sympathy.
We certainly share his view that the present
political leadership of the nation Is at variance
with the platform and principles of the Democratic
party.
1t is neither to be denied that the nations chief
executive has surrounded himself with major con-
sultants and so-caled experts in social and eco
nomic PHILOSOPHERS who have little knowledge OF
the problems of the people of America as a whole.
No doubt it is also undeniabe that some OF these
men to whom the president is giving important at
tention not interested even in the preservation
of the traditions of democracy
There is abundant evidence that in their political
PHILOSOPHERS there is little, if any, place for the
simple procedures and principles of the regime of
democracy. a..
For all We know, and for much that we suspect,
they may sincerely believe in the dismissal of de-
mocracy from America and the substitution there
for of the control of the all-embracive state. To-
talitaranism, they call it-and that means that
government is everything and the governed moth

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

WASHINGTON" drunkenness
" in the United States and all
territories thereof is, hereby pro-
hibited."
That will be the next amend
ment to the Constitution of the
United States if Congressman
Conner Smith, of Oklahoma, can
put it over with the aid of two
thirds of each House of Congress
and the legislatures of three
fourths of the states, whose rati-
fication would be necessary.
This Conner Smith is the same
Conner Smith who used to be a
power in the Townsend old age
pensions movement and he is
serving his first term in Congress.
Corners proposed amendment,
already introduced in the House,
ambitiously proceeds to provide
that Congress and the states shall
have power to enforce this prohi-
bition and to fix penalties for
violation.
The idea of making it a federal
offenSe to get Spilled is admit
teddy not the brain child of
Congressman Smith himself, who
says a committee of prominent
Baptist ministers got him to in
troduce the amendment, promis-
ing him that they would promote
it as a rallying point for tenn
perance program. But Smith
thinks it's a good idea just the
same. .... !
Although he blames the admin
lStration for all the drunken
ness that has been going on,
Conner admits that most persons
Fan drink normally and endanger
neither themselves nor others. He
decries the notion that men and
women get drunk only because
they want to.
Realizing that he has long
range proposition on his hands
Conner Smith has not gotten
around to figuring the appropriate
federal penalties for drunken
ness or to the question Of who is
to decide whether a citizen is
drunk or Just merely jingled.

Every now and then q wheel of

Members or nepeaI Associates,
the organization which was car
ried over from the old aSsocia-
ton Against the Prohibition
Amendment to watch the dryS on
behalf of the vets, say they're not
worrying about the Conner Smith
amendment. They find the drys
are chiefly busy trying to get
towns and counties to adopt local
option dry laws, and the associ-
ates have trouble combating this
because they would run into local
resentment against Outside inter-
ference" if they were to try to
run counter-campaigns in the
counties.
The next major dry offensive,
the vets figure, will be aimed at
making individual states 90 dry.
Since the old A. A. P. A. fought
the 18th amendment on the
ground that states should control
liquor traffic within their borders
without federal interference, its
heirs find the prospect of lobby
ing against state prohibition laws
a bit embarrassing.

SOUTHERN HARMONY: DR..

SOUTHERN HARMONY: DR.,
Gilbert Combs recent appeal for
a Southern Harmony song book
for a friend who makes a hobby
of collecting old hymnals, brought
a response from G. j. Patterson
of the Crab Greek section, who
relates interesting history about
an old book. He said that he own
ed one, badly worn, dog-eared
with lids gone, it having been the
property of his father, A. LaFay-
cite Patterson, who died about As
years ago.
The Southern Harmony ante
dated the Christian Harmony,
which is now a popular song book
among the older singers in the
county, especially in the Etowah
section, Mr.. Patterson was recent
ly told by collector Of old books
that he was unable to get these
books, for which there is quite Il
demand. He prizes his highly be-
cause it is rare, it was owned by
his father and by reason Of the
manner in which music was writ
ten when the book was published.
Mr.. Patterson says there were
only four shapes of notes in the
scale against seven now, but with
the lids and cover pages gone he
can't tell when it was published.
He believes the music was written
o nthe present octave style, yet
he doesn't know the names Of the
notes, how the tones were arrived
at, or the method of finding the
pitch of tune. ~"
Mr.. Patterson, having taught
vocal singing schools for long
number of years is naturally in,
terested in this subject. He would
like to know when the four
shapes, followed by the present
seven, lost to more modern music
and how near this date approach
ed the change from the Greek
Hexachord Of six tones, which was
supplanted by the modern scale of
the octave in the 18th century.
l have asked old-time singing
school teachers as well as teach
ers of modern methods, who don't
know the names of shaped notes
and to whose ears edo, IA, me ia,
sol, la, to, do" is altogether for
eign.
Who can come to tie rescue of
this column and tell us something
of music written in the days Of |
Southern Harmony?

Freed of the pull Of the mis-
guiding reins, the horse stepped
off with alacrity, and took an al
together different direction.
Eventually the naturalist, sitting
helplessly in the blackboard in the
dark, heard the horses feet
splashing in shallow water; then
plopping down on soggy ground;
then finally on dry ground. The
naturalist stopped the animal, got
out, struck a match. There was
the trail. The horse was on his
way home.
For years we have been trying

Of course you have your we'll

you and George were married.
But you probably have some we'll
hated pieces, too. The old book
case that's threatened to fall
down for many a moon -. the
chair that you have to yell "Be
CAREFUL" over :. the old table
that's about as smooth as the
gravel in the driveway. You can't
get rid of 'em, so why not put in
a little less effort than pure hate
and fix 'em up?
Of course, no amount of enam-
cling is going to keep the chair
from falling down. But once you
fix it probably all it needs is a
little glue), enamePs going to
make new chair out of it. And
what's more you can make it any
color you like.
Start around now with a men
tai notebook. Stick out your
tongue at every single piece
you've heartily disliked for years
and say with sneer, 81 know
what's going to happen to you"
Then, spread out newspapers in
the basement. Get George to
carry every stick down there. A
