And when we meet again may 1t
be under happier circumstances,
when free men will enjoy the un-

all else to the effort to be safe

turned to England after about one
wear. leaving Roanoke Island just
before d supply ship arrived bring
ing them supplies. A few weeks later
another eXpedetition arrived bringing
Sir Richard GrenVille. This group
also returned TO England after d
short time, leaving fifteen men to
hold claim to the country. The fol-
lowing year. 1887. the i'll fated John
White colony. which became known
as the Lost Colony. was sent out.
From that time until 1902 Raleigh
sent out other parties in an effort
TO locate the White colony. In all
he spent more than one million dol
lars in attempts 10 colonize North
America.
2. Often profits from single
round trip from Wilmington TO Mas
sau amounted to from 100000 70
100000. Cargo rates ranged as high
as $1,000 per ton. Captains were
paid as much as $4,000 for return
trip. Nassau is located only $40 miles
frcm Wilmington.
3. A total of 288,400 separte
farms are listed in North Carolina.
4. Judge Augustus S. Morrison
wrote Governor Jonathan Worth and
recommended that all cases under
capital cases be dismissed. He claim
ed that these cases were the out
growth Of the war. and war condi-
tons. and the sooner they were
thrown out Of the courts the better
it would be for the country.
5. The farm contains approx
mately 1000 acres. all of which is
under cultivation except about 1000
acres. The annual crops are valued at
hearty a quarter million dollars.
White prison labor is used in the
operation of the farm.
6. Blocks were sent by Lincoln
County. by the Wilmington Thalian
Association. the Mechanics of Ra-
leigh, the North Carolina Temper

Hllsboro, and possibly others. Many
different countries and states also

OTHERS VIEWS
At TIE CROSS ROADS

To the Editor:
As Venus fumes, Pluto groWlS, and
Mars la5hCS It's destructive fury
down upon paltry universe, We
wonder just what will be the de-
nouncCment of this brutal slaughter
Of mankind. In Europe and in Asia
wars are raging. Men are murder
ing and killing each other in their
lust for more power and more riches.
The startling news from the papers
(NOt adverse TO readings in your

DcnSe and perpleXed uncertainty
that would put G.. w. 7. w. to shame.
A few candid chances at haplesS
Europe and we see an obstinate,
maniacal creature who WOrmed his
way into the realm of the German
government As his personal power
increased. his brain formed wild,
fantastic ideas how he would sub
iugate the world and become the
greatest uSurper Of history. AT first
he made bombastic speeches how he
wanted to protect the smaller coun-
tries of Europe. But once his troops
were stationed on the inside, men
women and children were driven
from their homes. And so the sang
uinary hand Of the Gestapo moved
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-10-29

on carrying death, destruction and
poverty in its wake.
I And then, too, across the salty
mOat. careSSed by the tranquil wat
ers Of the blue Atlantic and laShed
al by the boisterous Pacific, lay
another country. A country pros
.pcring. country rich. and country
of freedom. This country we call
the U. S. of America.
! And then one bright. sunny day,
as all mythical stories begin. there
eliminated into office group OF
men who called themselves The New
Dealers. The New Dealers assured
! us that they had some new and UNI
tried theories and ideas which they
wished to carry out. So down into
! the Treasury of the U. S. dipped
/ their pOmDous hands. dispensing our

! for the first time in the history OF
; America men were paid to luai. Men
were paid to do nothing. Our taxes
| increased. and this IrultleSS spent
ing continued until our government
reached an all-time high in its debts.
And, yes. during this colossal
spending fid-rad the Falcon OF
; Europe blinked his beady eyes and
least them AmericanWard. And so
| in 1886 there SpranG up an organl-
cation called the German-Amerlcan
Bund which added members and
new members. However. in The capl-
tol there was Il true American, Mr.
Dies, who watched vgilantly the
works of this SubverSive group. Inc
lWorks of this SubVerSiVe ana other
.rlbyersives - Communist, Silver
Shirts, etc..-Were reported TO me
President But Mr.. Roosevelt and his
innovators failed to listen to Mr..
Dies; consequently. the SubVerSlVe
organization increased until there
are now So Bund camps with mem
berS that exceeds tWo-hundred
thousand Truly appalling is the fact
that these outandish camps are
established in large cities and near
the ocean where they will strike
mortal blow when other exotic coun-
tries give Der Tag"
The New Dealers are very tal-
lacious group. They are always
swashbuckling how we are prosper
ing and how democracy is thriving.
But is democracy thriving?
If you call the destruction of the
American principles, the end OF citl-
zens' rights and liberties, if you call
governmental control over business
Henderson daily dispatch., 1940-10-29

and private enterprises, and turning
in over 100000 immigrants yearly.
then apparently we have democracy.
Is our country progressing?
A few chances at some arithmetic
will disclose some startling results.
From 1926 to 1882 the average year.
ly income per farm was 81 ,432. From
1888 to 1889 the the average, in
Guiding benefit payments, was 81,
1874.
And then excerpts from the Kansas
City Star: u million farmers will
receive by the end of 1910, about
three billion dollars in checks. This
is about S430 per farm. During the
same time the national debt has gone
up by % billion dollars. Since farm
ers comprise One-fourth of the popu-
lation, farmers are going to have to
pay one-GOurth, or IA billion dol
lars, Of that debt That is $500 per
farm. Government planners will not
solve the farm problem by handing
the farmer $3.50 with one hand, and
taking back ii mortgage on his land
for $500 with the other"
Yes. America is going through a
radical change. This year will mark
the alternative: We must either
stand for democracy, or forever be
trampled beneath the sods of wrath
by some autocratical influence. We
must close our doors to immigrants,
and make our land invulnerable from
exotic theories and prodigal ideas.
No, Mr.. Editor, l do not lean
iheavily on a cane, nor do l have d
long grey beard caressing my belt,
or sagging WaiStline. But in M
little over tWenty-one years Of eX-
stence, l still have all my teeth
and part Of my hair and, yet, I
,realize that we in America confront
a very precarious situation today
Nevertheless, with all the propa-
ganda, political blab, prittle-prattle,
war hySteria and an ever changing
condition, America is incontroverti-
bly, the most unique country in the
world, and it rests upon the should
ers Of every patriotic individual to
see that we keep it that way.

bod ging the Issue

II was the Democrats who gOt the
Hatch act through Congress. albeit
they we're not one hundred percent
for il, but many Republicans likewise
gave their support and votes. The
object of the statute is to prevent
corruption by forbidding. or at least
restricting. contributions to political
parties by persons holding public
Jobs. and to limit all contributions
from whatever source to maximum
of $4,000.
But this law. like 50 many others
ON the statute books. is being givep
the benefit Of the doubt in interpre-
tations. The politicians passed it and
the politicians left enough loophOles
in the act. in spite of its altruiStic
tone. To crawl through when they
found it to their advantage to do so
Now they are finding it that way
and the little knot holes come II
handy IN serving the purpose they
were intcrdcd for. They are finding
how easy it is to dodge the issue
