THE DAIRY AMENDMENT

A bitter fight is pending in the congress over
the amendment forced into the farm bill by dairy
and livestock interests of the Middle West which
would prevent farmers from using retired acreage
for the growing of livestock, poultry or dairy prod
ucts for commercial purposes.
1t can easily be seen that the amendment would
seriously cripple the South. Farmers who would
be obliged to take part of their cotton lands out
of cultivation would be prohibited from using them
for profitable purposes, The income of the farmers
would, therefore, be cut down and agricultural dis
tress in the cotton belt would result.
The amendment was conceived in selfshness. II
enacted into law it will create bitterness in the
South against those states that would impoverish
southern farmers and their lands 1t will erect a
barrier against the free interchange of products
by the several sections of the country. 1t will de-
stroy the good will which has been created since
the Civil war.
Southern farmers ask for nothing but a square
deal. They resent the injustice OF the amendment
which has been inserted in house and senate bills
The enactment of this unjust provision will be a
crime against the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Herald.

Some carefully timed blasts by

forced a compromise by which it
was agreed that the national COM

not impressed by the makeup
Of this new policy committee, to

But the really important inside
news about the party is the fact
that Landon, despite the st. Louis

uniformed politicians as at least as
strong a Republican leader sS

achieved this by two bold, spec

!. His fat assertion in Wash

The G. o. P. nomination in 1910,
even in the remote contingency"
that it was offered him.
2. His publicized assurance to-
President Roosevelt that he would
stand by him in matters of inter-
national policy, when, according

LONDON, Dec. 6. (UP)-The
British government has announced
its determination TO carry out its
proposed partition of Palestine
into sovereign Jewish and Arab
states, despite widespread disor-
ders and bloodshed resulting from
its original announcement last
July.

foreign office revealed, however,
that opposition to the plan devel-
oped by a British royal commits
sion led by Lord Peel might ne

as temporary conformation or
separate mandates for the Jewish

IN DUMAS THE BLACK
TULIP"

Two brothers who had got into
political disfavor with the public
were warned by a young girl to
escape from the building they
were in without letting themselves
be seen by the mob outside in the
street bowling its hate.
Out" was the reply, when
they see US they will grow calm
er, as we have never done them
anything but good"
THAT'S unfortunately no rea-
son except for the contrary"
murmured the girl.
Commented one of the brothers
to the other, "There is a damsel
who very likely does not know
how to read and who consequent
ly has never read anything, and
yet, with one word, she has jlst
told the whole history Of The
world"
In the foregoing paragraphs is
a thought which we, the people,
would do well to ponder and re-
membef. We have always been
led to kill those who have done
us nothing but good and who
would continue to do us nothing
but good.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
REPEAL A FAILURE

Repeal of the Eighteenth or Prohibition amend
ment has been failure. Not single promise o.
the liquor crowd has been fulfilled.
The fact is the ABC stores in 81 counties o.
this state are creating problem for law enforce
ment and sobriety. 1t is well known fact thai
drunkenness is increasing in the q counties of the
state that have liquor stores. This was to be ex
pected.
/ The ABC stores oppose state control. They want
to sell liquor to one and all and make as many
people drunk possible. That means more money
for them. They are in the business to make money
Mr.. W. Tom Bost, we'll known Raleigh CORE
spondent of the Greensboro News, who has been
an advocate of ABC stores for years, has changed
his mind He says prohibition is destined to return
to this state by 1910. He says the sentiment to
repeal the county liquor acts is growing.
Let's note few results of legal liquor: Raleigh
Dec. 26. Raleigh police were holding tonight 4OU
pints of liquor taken yesterday in raid upon the
Ideal Social club, an organization of men who
drink their liquor from lockers. Some prominent
men of Raleigh had lockers in the building All the
liquor, about so gallons, was bought from ABC
stores"
spartanburg, Dec. q, where liquor has been le-
gal about four years: Getty police last night re-
ported one of the busiest week-ends on record.
Police revealed 81 arrests, involving 101 cases,
during the 60-hour period ending last night Mon
day.. majority of the cases, SO, were booked for
drunkenness Sixteen cases were for disorderly
conduct, due mainly to liquor Eleven reckless
driving cases were booked, most of which were
due to liquor"
Nearly $4,000 drivers licenses have been re-
voked in North Carolina since Nov. l, 1885. The
majority of these were for drunk driving. Revok-
ing leads in the sections where liquor is most album
dant, or wet counties.
A total of 112 people died in this state in No
vember from automobile accidents. This makes 999
for the first IL months of this year. This is 95
more than the II months of 1886. We have more
legal liquor in this state now than last year.
In South Carolina in 1881, before repeal, there
were $50 arrests for drunkenness in that state.
Last year there were 1922 arrests for the same
offense
The liquor bill of the American people last year
was SO, 500 100000. North Carolnians are drink
ing about 100000 worth of legal liquor annu-
ally, according to recent reports from Raleigh.
The more liquor we have the more crime we
have. With the increased consumption of liquor
we have more automobile wrecks.
We don't know what to think of q state or
county that will sell liquor, then arrest people for
getting drunk That is hypocrisy in the first de-
gree. Reminds us of father who smokes before
his son and then Furnishes his son for smoking.
There is but one solution to the liquor traffic,
get rid of it. It can be done and will be done. 1t
must be done if we are to save our civilization.

The right kind of civil service
system would protect the public
official from the job hunters, land
would safeguard the job hunters
from political exploitation.
And a sound civil service sys-

more to free politics Of dishones-

1t would be a tremendous stride
toward governmental decency
Then candidates would be more
likely to be elected for what the

what some voters expected to. get

WASHINGTON Behind Re-
w publican scenes the chief de-
velopment of the slast few weeks
has been the progress of ALT M.
Landon to position where his
influence in the party now equals
and perhaps exceeds that of for
mer President Herbert Hoover.
In this contest for power be-
tween the defeated presidential
candidate of 1886 and the defeated
presidential candidate of 1882,
Landon started from behind and
fell even further behind after one
or two false starts.
His handicap lay in the fact
that Hoover's influence was more
important in the G. o. P. national
committee and among the politi-
cal henchmen Hoover had at
tracted to himself in eight years
as secretary of commerce and
four as president. Although there
never was any friendliness be-
tween the two men, the first open
breach came when Hoover cam
paigned industriously for a ma
tional party convention this year
and Landon declared against it.
Landon undertook to assert his
leadership of the party by adj
dressing a "mass meeting" of all
Republican voters by radio in an
attack on the Roosevelt admins
tration. The speech fell fat and
Landon lost rather than gained
ground. Hoover himself then made
a speech which seemed to help
him more than it hurt.

killing time down there is indicat-

business. Read the following list
of equipment needed in hog kill
ing, as advertised by hardware
stores in the Perquimans Weekly,
published in Hartford:
Iron pots FUSED for boiling
water and cooking lard); knives
FUSED in butchering, cutting out
the meat, separating sausage and
lard meats, cleaning inteStines for
gatherings, etc.; suffers (used
for stuffing link sausage, food
fit for the kings) grinders (for
grinding lean meat, into sausage) !;
buckets for various, purposes !;
strainers for straining lard from
the cracklings; cartridges and ri
files for killing the hogs; axes (for
the same purpose, keeping up
fires, cutting poles for hog racks,
etc.; pans for many uses; lard
tins, holding about five gallons of
lard; boilers, handy in many ways;
lard pressers (used in squeezing
hot lard from the fat meat, max
ing cracklings therefrom) meat
cutters; hog scrapers instruments
for picking" hogs and modern
aids like smoked salt, tender
quick, sausage seasoning, anti
skipper compound. substitutes for
which were formerly made up by
farmers from sage, pepper, salt
petre, boraX, etc.
And all this means that hog
killing is on in earnest in North

START WEDNESDAY
Swimming Season Begins
There Tomorrow; Camp
Rules Announced

Camp Balance Rock will start its
season Wednesday of this week, under
the direction of S. NJ. Crowder, of the
faculty of Henderson high school. who
has been engaged for the season, it
was stated today by Eric G. Elan.
nagan, chairman Of the board of di-
rectors of the camp. Mr.. Crowder has
served as business manager for the
camp for the last several summers.
The camp is operated by a non-pro-
fit corporation for the purpose of pro.
viding a wholesome recreation center
for all who wish to take advantage of
it. The property was set aside by the
late DR.. r. J. Gill for the purpose of
providing such facilities for the youth
of this community, and operation was
entrusted to the local organization.
Swimming is permitted and ideal
arrangements prevail for picnic par
ties. A small fee is charged for swim
ming, but picnickers are charged
nothing for use Of the grounds. Cabins
are for the use of young peoples or
CARNATIONS for camping.
A new steel gate has been installed
in the dam to regulate the flow Of
water. E. H. Dixon, of the soard Of
I directors has spent considerable time
at the camp in recent weeks super
vising renovations and improvements.
Mr.. Flanagan said the public is in
vited to make use Of the camp at will.
! Following is a statement made to-
Si.v by MI. Flanagan in connection
with the opening:
mfr. s. NJ. Crowder, a member of
md well known in Henderson, will
serve as Business Manager of the
cecreational center, as he has done
FOR the past several years.
Camp Balance Rock is operated by
Il non-profit corporation with its pur
csc that of providing a wholesome
ccreational center for all who wish
- take advantage of it.
There IS swimming fee of 15c
which is used for the upkeep and
management of the property The
| grounds may be Used by the public
| free of charge for picnic purposes, pro-
vided they clean upStheir rubbish and
| help those in authority to keep pro-
perty in a clean and sanitary condi
! ton. It is advised, however, when
|
that they maker arrangements with
Mr.. S. M. Crowder, manager, before
hand so that the place will not be too
crowded by having several large
| picnics at one time.
"The cabins and buildings are for
the use Of camping parties of the va
rious young peoples organizations. 1t
is necessary however, that reserve
ton be made with the manager as far
as possible in advance of the time
they wish to have their camp, at
| which time detailed information rs TO
the requirements of those using the
property for camp purposes can be
| obtained from the manager.
| "Mr E H. Dixon, member of the
| Board of Directors of Camp Balance
| Rock, has been personally supervising
the work of getting the property in
/ shape for the season. On account o.
| lack of funds many things that the
directors would like to do to Improve
the property had to be eliminated,
however, Mr. Dixon has done ire
mendous amount of work and has the
property in better shape than it has
ever peen. It is thought that the
greatest improvement that has been
