ABOUT WHISKY.

TO the Editor:
A Christian friend approached me
on the street today and said, john
ME | AIN with you all the way, in
advocating an election on the whisky
question, but you will never be able
to get one in Vance county, because
certain influential church people
tasted the gravy Of lillker evil pro-
fits, and they are not going to give
them up. l told her that l had the
right as a citizen to see what the
mothers of Vance county had to say
about that, and that is exactly what
l am going to do.
may not get very far with it, but
nothing beats trial but a failure,
how we'll do l know that. Failure is
not fatal and success is not final. l
am d hard fighter and the world
loves a fighter. l have fought all Of
my battles alone against overWhelm-
ing odds. | know that it takes real
action to win, success comes not to
him who talks the most, or does the
loudest sobbing. Remember it's the
hook that gets the fishWorm; the cork
just does tine bobbing.
It looks like the preachers are
afraid to express themselves on this
great evil, for fear that they will
offend some alcoholic brother. There
fore | appeal to the mothers, and
the good people of our county to help
me vanish this evil from our midst,
and help to protect the morals Of our
young girls and boys, who are grow
ing into manhood and Womanhood,
and uphold the dignity Of our county
and city.
Don't you think that it has been
well demonstrated that we have
everything but control, but, my
friends, please be advised Of this, if
I was your judge l would make
Vance county decent place for de-
cent people to live in in six months
or resign, and I would not make it
hard for Silas, and let Paul off with
a suspended sentence
Our greatest trouble today is most
every judge that we have ever had

and just held the office as a side
line, and you know that when any
thing is switched off on the side track
it is not considered very important.

tired of side track administration
and get over on the main line, where

As long as the youth Of this Land
stand ready to answer when the call

Some of the soldiers leave tomor-

A Fitting Gesture

To those citizens, every one OF
them, who had L part in making pos
sible the parade and the barbecue
rendered National GuardSmen Friday
afternoon the entire community owes
4 big hand. For our part, and we are
are sure for every citizen, we Offer
it and extend congratulations. 1t
was a most fitting and appropriate
gesture and tribute to the men IN
the defense service, and an evidence
of the appreciation on the part OF the
home folks for what they are under
taking.
To those who gave cash, who con-
tributed bread and other necessities
for the feed, and cigarettes for the
soldiers; to the mayor, the police,
and to every one, there is a feeling
of gratitude all around.
Most of all, the community and the
soldiers are indebted to Bob Falk-
ner. OF the Daily Dispatch staff, for
what he did. In fact, he did just
about all of it. in so far as setting
the machinery in motion was con-
cerned. 1t was his idea at the outset.
He solicited the first money, which
was gladly given. He arranged for
the feed. for the parade, kept account
of the donations and then diSburSed
the money. 1t was as fine piece of
worthwhile work the city has had in
so short a time. And this word OF
praise for him is given by the rest
of the Dispatch staff, unsolicited and
wholly without his knowledge until
he sees it in print, and is given be-
cause it is so richly deserved.
Nearly all of the contributions were
made voluntarily and without solicit
tation once the movement got under
way. And that is richly commend
able. But Bob Falkner is response
bic for the event, and fine thing
it was, too.

lost in population during the census
period from 1880 to 1910. These were
Arson, Camden, Gates, Green, Hyde,

2. John Baptista Ashe, born in
1748. He had been an active leader
during the Revolutionary War days,
and represented North Carolina in
Continental Congress. He was with
the Continental Army at Valley
Forge and was in command of North
Carolina troops. After the war he
was chosen as congressman to the
First and Second Congresses. In the
| fall of 1902 he was elected governor
by the assembly, but died at Halifax
| before his Inauguration day.
3. William Churchill Houston, born
in Cabarrus county about 1845: He
graduated at Princeton and then be-
! came a member of the faculty of
that institution. In 1871 he was
chosen clerk of the Supreme Court
of that state, and held the office UNI
til his death in 1888.
4. In North Carolina the governor
is authorized to fill vacancy in the
United States senate by appointment,
the appointee to hold until the next
general election. To fill vacancy IN
the house of representatives the gov
ernor must call an election.
S. In a large way it shut off sup
plies of medicines and forced the de-
velopment of local resources. Pop
pies, jimpson weed and other plants
were grown. Wild roots and herbs
were collected for making medicines.
Western North Carolina today shows
the effect of the war time training
in that it furnishes greater part
of native roots and herbs used in
medicine.

eighth, and ninth sessions; James

Tennessee, and Cobb from Georgia.

What Can We Do?

All this talk in Washington about
the United States intervening to stop
Japan's march southwark, especially
in French Indo-China, gives rise to
the wonder as TO what we can do
about it. The JapS are comparative
ly close at home; Uncle Sam is 5000
miles or more distant, which is quite
a long range in which to operate,
wherever our sympathies may lie and
however much we may object to the
mikado'S activities.
Indo-China, the Dutch East Indies
and the South Sea islands may all
have commodities greatly desired and
essential in our preparedness plans.
But these areas Of the globe do not
belong to the United States. More
over, we haven't as yet the power
to enforce our will by the waving of
a wand, sounding of a warning or
nodding 4 head in the negative.
More's the pity. 1t would be mar
velouS if we did have such things.
Some day we shall have, but it
might then be too late. Yet it is
difficult to see just what we can
do about it now.
Had this nation been conscious
these past seven years of the vast
power Hitler was creating in Ger
many, and had we been busy our
selves in building up the proper sort
of national defense, we could long
ago have halted the unholy ambi-
tons of Japan in overrunning more
or less helpless China. But the sad
fact is we didn't do either, with the
result that we must bide our time
against the day when we can speak
with voice loud enough to be
heard and offer a show of strength
that will command respect wherever
it may be sent as a threat in the
name of Righteousness and internal
tional justice.
Japan long has awaited this hour
AN hour when Britain was so occu-
pied at home as to be helpless on
the opposite side of the globe, and
when the United States is faced with
a menace from Europe and fears to
become too seriously involved in the
Far East. And, the moment having
come, Japan is moving southwark.
The question is, who is there to raise
a hand in effective opposition?
Japan knows full we'll the real i'm
port of the preparedness program
under way here. She knows that
two, three or five years hence she
will be unable to defy Uncle Sam
even in her own quarter of the globe.
That is the explanation of her fran
tic moves, her arrogant threats and
her preparation for moving in on
helpless peoples.

forcement is in effect.
No trial Judge should be in any
business to compete with HIS sub
iects who are liable to come in con-
tact with his court and judgment.
For he is supposed to be free to act,
for freedom of thought and liberty
of action are the principle upon
which this Government is founded;
they constitute one of our greatest
problems, for they demand in turn
a high degree of intelligence, char
acter, and moral responsibility, from
those we entrust to administer our
laws.
A lot of people did not seem to
think that could qualify when l run
for the judges place, so I guess that
everybody is satisfied with the pres
emf setup of government.

Saturday that was most disgusting. A
Negro woman, come out the likker
store with a pint of whisky. She was
already drunk, and when she got
along in front of the First National
Bank she got up with Negro man
and started IN to cussing him and
nearly tore his coat off from him, and
hit him beside the head with the
whisky and broke it all to pieces.
And it liked to splashed on very
prominent preacher who happened to
be passing at that particular time.
So she turned around and went back
to the whisky store, and got her an
other pint, and went on her way, not
bothered by the law. I don't know
where the law was, unless they were
over in Durham helping the City of
Durham keep law and order, and let
ting it run wild in their own town.

Counting Chickens

Hitler's Foreign Minister Won Rib
bentrop and Mussolini's son-in-law
ditto. Count Ciano, were engaging in
a favorite axis pastime in discussing
at the Rome conference the matter
of how they will divide Africa. They
even went so far as to announce to
the world a Monroe Doctrine of Eu-
rope
Well. since the idea of dictators
came into vogue overseas we've al
ways heard it said those gentry are
eternally under the necessity of keep
ing the show moving in order to hold
on to their jobS-maybe their heads
as well. It is a Understanding dose
of propaganda to talk of big things.
But so far as Italy is concerned, Hit
! Ter could have sent his plan down to
Rome and it would have been all
the same. Whatever he says goes
now and in the future, or so long as
he can hold on. And Mussolini, if as
smart as he would have his people
and the world think he is, knows that
| as we'll as any one.
This business of dividing up some
thing that is not yet possessed is like
counting ones chickens before they
hatch. Even supposing that the axis
may have d measure of success in the
mare nostrum" area, the future of
Africa and of Europe will not be de-
cided in Morocco nor in Egypt, but
in the English Channel and in the
skies over the British Isles and west
ern Europe.
Won Ribbentrop and Ciano may
cast lots for something they covet,
yet there will be plenty of time in
months to come to look after such
details. The business Immediately
in hand is attending to Britain,
which, despite all their might, seems
to be doing d pretty good job of hold
ing on. After all, they are not fight
ing Poland and Holland now, but a
nation which may yet prove to be
their match.
Hitler and MuSsolini, and especial
ly the former, are riding high at the
moment, as they have been for the
past year or two. And, of course,
they may achieve all the goals they
have in mind, but they haven't done
it yet, and until the issue is settled
the matter of counting chickens can
hardly be more than a pleasant pas
! time, and something to feed to their
restless populations.
