OTHERS VIEWS
AGAINST CONTROL.

To the Editor:
The word control means the poW-
er to manage or govern by force
II otherwise.
All down through the ages, men
have been fighting each other for
the power of control. Three thous-
and years ago, the Assyrian, the
Roman and Egyptian governments
were struggling with crop control,
with class and social control, with
political and financial control. To-
day the governments of the world
are faced with the same problems.
The clash between labor and capi-
tai becomes sharper and more ag-
9ressive.
Capital seeks to control the
masses and appropriate the pro-
ceeds of their labor to its own
uses. Labor seeks to appropriate the
proceeds of its efforts to itself and
do away with parasites. Regimenta-
ton and classim, big farmer, little
farmer, bosses and clerical helpers

Baptists To
Seek Funds
For Hospital

Winston-Salem, Sept. 19.-Gov.
Clyde R. Hoey and DR.. Thurman d.
Kitchen, president of Wake Forest
College, will head the speakers
Thursday, Sept %, at dinner in
Winston Salem in connection with
the enlargement campaign Of North
Carolina Baptist hospital. About 600
representative citizens all the way
from Elizabeth City to Asheville will
participate.
The hospital intends to complete
its campaign for 100000 within the
next two months, SO as to be able to
60 right ahead with construction
work which will double its size At
present there are about 100 patients
in the hospital, although it IS rated
as only an 1O8-bed institution, and
should have 81 beds filled on the
average.
The need to act quickly was
brought to a head by the decision
of Wake Forest College to build a
new medical school on the hospital
grounds, and to extend its medical
course to four years, made possible
by the Bowman Gray endowment
The dinner will begin at $50 p.
m. in the Robert E. Lee hotel. The
Baptist church representatives who
attend will stay over a day in Win
ston-Salem to make a visit to the
hospital and to receive instructions
regarding the campaign. They will
be the guests of Winston-Salem
churches. No contributions for the
hospital will be asked or accepted at
the dinner, it is pointed out in the
invitations, signed by Dr. D. H. Will
cox, regional committee chairman,
of the First Baptist church, Winston
Salem; Grover H. Jones, High Point
attorney; Smith Hagaman, the hos
pitals superintendent; Mrs. Paul P.
Davis, of Yadkinville, and Mrs. J. J.
Roddick, of Winston-Salem.
AS tWo-thirds of the patients at
the hospital are non-Baptist, large
proportion Of the 600 guests will be
non-Baptist too. The Baptist church
will be represented, however, by
mOderators and clerks from through
out the State, as we'll as officers of
the various women's missionary
branches in North Carolina.
Patients often travel hundreds of
miles to reach North Carolina Bap-
tlst hospital. The overwhelming ma
!orlty of those receiving treatment
from outside Winston-Salem are free
cases, while even in Winston-Salem
Itself there are more free than pay
patients. Nurses and internes have
no way of telling whether a patient
is paying or not.

Peanuts Rise
In War Lift

College Station, Raleigh, Sept. 19.
Caught in the wartime surge of
advancing prices, peanuts have inch
ed forward recently with such COM
modities as sug--, meats, butter, and
grains, B. Troy FCrgu.on, district
agent of the State College Extension
Service, said today.
While the advancing prices now
prevailing are due in part to the
extreme shortage Of old crop stock
and to the lateness in harvesting
southern peanuts, they also have re-
sponded to the general stronger mar
ket trend for many commodities.
Trading in the Virginia type pea
nuts has been limited because of the
shortage of stock, but inquiries have
been good and the trade has been
willing to pay higher prices for the
remaining lots.
However, Ferguson said, there is
unuuestionably a shortage of Vir-
ginia type peanuts. Storage stocks
in Virginia and North Carolina are
almost gone, and in the country
barns are being secured in an effort
to bring out every lot of farmers
stock.
