|. In 1919 by John A. Smith, who
opposed him for the seat. Judge
Webb served eight terms as con-
gresham from his district, from 1903
to his resignation in 1919 when he
was appointed by President Woodrow
Wilson Federal district Judge.
2. According to report of Gov
ernor Edward B. Dudley to the leg
islature Of 1910 the land was donated
by twelve individuals residing in
the vicinity . for no other consider
alton than that of enlightened pat
riotiSm."
3. Congressman John Reeves Jones
Daniel, OF Halifax, born in 1902, at
torney general of North Carolina
from 1884 to- 1910 when he was elect
ed representative to congress. He

died in 1868
4. About one half Of all persons

5. DR.. Calvin H. Wiley, Superin-
tendent of common schools, as the
department was then known, tender
ed his report to Provisional Cover
nor Holden in 1865. Governor Holden
refused to accept it, and also refused
to have it offered to the state con-
vention which met shortly after that
time. When the convention assembled
it adopted an ordinance which bar
red from public office all persons
who had taken an oath Of allegiance
to the Confederacy. DR.. Wiley had
never taken such an oath and when
the legislature of 1866 convened he
went before that body with his re-
port. 1t was accepted and printed,
however, a few days later the legis-
la,ure abolished the office Of Super
intendent of Common Schools.

fective thirty days after the adjourn !
ment Of the session.

Bank Significance

Record bank assets in North
Carolina as Of June 80 speak more
than one language. Their signiti-
canoe points in more than one direc-
ton, and that is over and beyond the
mere presence of lot Of money.
Comparison with conditions seven
years ago this summer shows that
the half billion dollar total is right
much more than double that Of 1888,
indicating how far we have come
from the bottom of the depression.
And the long and tortuous road up
ward has been traverSed in spite of
experiments and novel schemes, not
entirely because OF them.
Certainly the huge increase shows
that some profits have been made. 1t
also reveals larger confidence in the
safety and stability of the banking
system of the State and nation, credit
for which goes mostly to the Presi-
dent for lis courageous strokes dur
ing the first one hundred days" in
the sp"ing and summer of 1888.
But this Ii re accumulation of as
sets also nc ates that its presence
| is partly explained by the fact that
capital is idle and is not being util-
! lied toward creation OF greater
wealth because its owners consider
it safer in guaranteed bank deposits
than - new business ventures. Para
doNically, the confidence is in the
banks rather than in employment Of
money at low returns, in which field
there is still fear and fright and a
lack of faith because of the uncer-
| tainties of the times.
Another hopeful aspect of the sit
uation, however, is that the presence
Of increased bank assets is evidence
! Of better preparedness Of the eco
nomic structure for eventualities Of
whatcve: nature to which it may be
subjected. It may also be taken as
an indication of reduced debts owed
by individuals and private concerns.
which means they are in somewhat
stronger position.
In the aggregate, the condition re-
ported by the State banking commits
sioner is wholesome and desirable
and encouraging. 1t is indicative
of the boldness of the stride which
; business would assume could it only
be relieved of the war scare and as
surCd of free rein to move as it would
like to do.

While Firemen Argue
(Christian Science Monitor)

Dcmocracy'S house is Attire. The
flames of totalitarian aggression have
swept through six lebenstaumS oil
Tree peoples. They are scorching
the coasts of Britain, first home OF
sclf-government and last barrier be-
tween the Nazi war machine and
the Americas. And senators Of the
United States argue as to whether
World War destroyers can be trans
ferred to Britain without their pass
ing new law.
Other measures are under way for
fighting the fire should it break
through the final flre-Wail: Billions
for ships, planes and guns; action to
check fifth columnists; taxes to raise
defense funds; draft plans; diplo-
matte defense arrangements with the
Latin Americans-all preparations
for turning on the water when tn
fire comes one room closer. But 1t IS
a certainty that there will be no full.
stream OF water in any OF these
hoses in the next few months. And
fifty deStroyers might prove just the
needed bricks for the top Of that
iire-wall called Britain.
But these firemen are still only
half awake and full of questions. IS
/ legal to fight fire this way? Will
it be neutral? What will the NaziS
say? So long as they were not built
to sell to Britain (only to help her
in another war;, does international
law sanction the sale of these de-
stroyers? And if they first went
through the hands of private con-
tractors? We sold old army planes
to Britain two months ago, but are
destroyers the same as planes? Will
it weaken our power to fight the fire
when it gets here? Will Britain trade
us some naval bases for these de-
stroyers? Will the people under
stand?
Spoken or unspoken, those are the
arguments in which the firemen are
enmeShed-as if the fire were not in
their house, as if the Atlantic would
still be a barrier were the British
fleet beaten or immooilized. Is the
dictators charge correct? Are de-
mocracies unable to see danger and
move quickly to forestall it? Are
they too stupid and torn by con-
Letting selfish interests to unite and
act? Do they lack the courage and
insight to take the smaller of two
risks?
We do not think so. We believe
the American people are largely
awake, that they understand even
the military strategy Of the present
position, see that even defense Of
South America under the Monroe
Doctrine is less important than main
tanning the British navy as their
first line of defense. Every poll of
public opinion has shown majority
for aid to Britain. The people would
like to see the firemen fight the fire
where the fire is-With measures
which might well keep it from ever
coming nearer.

Better Not Do 1t

Moving OF refugee children from
war zones would doubtless be hui
manitarian set on the part of the
United States. but in sending ships,
even though defeuSelesS and I'M
armed. into mine-infeSted waters
for so noble a purpose is fraught
with dangers of the first magnitude.
and we had better not do it.
If those favoring it are seeking IL
maneuver this nation into the war
by deliberately staging an incident,
such as destruction Of one Of these
vessels might be. they could hardly
find better excuse.
Rescue Of these innocent victims
OF wars horrors and privationS, as
noble as it may be. is not iuStifica-
ton for our entering the war. 1t
might provide Hitler with the Incl
dent be desires without having to
trump it up himself. and could give
him a situation of our own making.
wherein he could say we took the
initiative Even if guarantees were
given, that is no absolute safeguard
against floating mines.
The United States had better play
hands off. for while anyhow. Keep
ing American ships out of the danger
zone is avoidance of one form of
provocation we ought not to risk.
