Kerr, three prominent eastern North
Carolina lawyers $3.50 each for claim
ing he was drunk while holding the
Robson county court in 1904. In
stead of paying the fines the three
lawyers appealed the case to the Su-
premc Court and won.
2. A special act Of the assembly
required that county musters be call
ed. At these musters volunteers were
asked for. All volunteers were al
lowed a bounty of 500. If these
volunteers did not fill the required
number then men were drafted, each
company of militia voting on the
drafts from within the company. The
act specified selection Of men most
able to go to the front. All drafts
were allowed a bounty Of $50.

Food Prospects

Agricultural authorities are now
lorecaSting bumper yields OF this
years food crops, and that is a
heartening word in world in which
there is all too much pcSSlmism and
gloom over what the future may
hold.
However much we may desire,
deserve and need satisfactory returns
from So-called money crops, the most
urgent requirement, alter all, IS the
supply of food Tor man and feed Tor
livestock. Subsistence for the body
IS the first essential Of life, and
whatever the seriousness Of other
problems, they would be accentuatcd
and intensified by shortage of
something to eat.
Better than the average yields for
these crops include the best corn
crop in more than two decades. A
record wheat yield is forecast at
fourteen percent more than last year,
and the State is anticipating its first
million-ton crop Of hay. Vegetables
are also to be available in adequate
supply, according to present indi-
cations.
With all of these high yields,
North Carolina is not self-sustaining
in the growing Of lis food. Some
still will have to be imported from
other sections of the country, even
with the abundance promised by
the Department Of Agriculture,
though it is definitely hopeful sign
that our farmers have made such
marked advances in divcrsification
and toward providing themselves
and a portion of the State besides
with these essentials to the susten-
ance of life, however good or bad
our fortunes may be otherwise.

answer had subsidized.
Burke was defeated for renOmna-
ton in the Nebraska primary by
Gov. r. l.. Cochran.
Mr.. Roosevelt was reminded, nc
said, of Lew Douglas and Johnny
HancS by an inquiry about how he
regarded this dissent Of JcGlcrsonian
Democrats.
Douglas did not vote Democratic
four years ago, Mr.. Roosevelt assert
cd. and he doubted that Hancs did
either. He added that they were
honorable and amiabIc young men
who formerly were in the govern
mcnt service.
Mr.. Roosevelt was told that Reed
had called meeting Of grass root,

him, he added that Reed, who once
represented Missouri in the senate,
had done much the same thing in
1892 and 1886 and maybe in 1923 and
so was well qualified from expert
encc.
It was Mr.. RooScvct's first press
conference since he accepted d third
nomination and told the Democratic
convention that he. would have little
tine, because of the international sit
uation, TO engage in purely political
activities, although he would answer
any false political statements that
came along.
The President said he expected to
confer with James A. Farley in
Washington soon but had given no
thought to successor to Farley, who

Folks in Glass Houses

Hitler promises Britain total war
and complete annihilatiOn unless she
accepts peace of his dictation. This
is the same Hitler who several years
ago denounced the Versailles treaty
because Of what he claimed were its
injUSticeS to Germany. The official
Nazi news agency in Berlin de-
uotnceS the attitude Of the United
States at the Havana conference Of
American foreign ministers as being
that of desire to establish d hegc-
mony over all American nations.
This is the position Of 4 nation that
has done all that and infinitely more
to virtually every European nation
except Britain and is now preparing
10 exert its last ounce of power even
there.
Folks who live in glass houses
should not throw stones, as the old
proverb runs. But Hitler and his
gang Of cut-throatS never pause long
enough in their system Of power
politics to look into the mirror And
even if they did, what difference
would it make to them? What care
they SO long as they can have things
their way? Consistency in the con-
duct Of international affairs is no
part of the NaZi language.
The ants in HitIcr's brccchcS are
but Il jealous fear that the United
States may have sufficient influence
in the New World to lead the Amcri-
can republics into Il course Of fair
ness and Justice, and thus save them
from domination by the Reich. That
is the SUM total Of his interest in tho
Havana conference and in what may
happen in this hemisphere.
German comments on what is go
ing ON in this part Of the world
merely reflect the fear that the vile
connections Of the Nazis for domi-
nation Of all nations and peoples
may run aground after Europe has
been safely gathered under Berlln'S
wings of "protection'', and that word
means anything else but the COM
monty accepted Interpretation OF II.
Who knows but that the United
States is merely launching ltSell
upon d role that brings it to the hlgh
and noble function for which 1t may
have been born? If without armed
conflict this country could thWaft
the unholy ambitions of this gang OF
international brigands and high
waymcn it would have rendered d
service beyond measure in the pre-
! Scrvatiuu of freedom in the world

FDR Gives
Opinions On.
Opposition

Hyde Park, N. Y, July 24.-(AP)
President Roosevelt dunncd politi-
cal harness yesterday long enough TO
speak his mind about Senator Ed
ward R. Burke, Lewis w. Doughlas,
John w. Hanes and former Senator
James A. Reed-four anti-third term
Democrats who have teamed up with
Wendell L. Willkie.
Prompted entirely by press confer
ence questions Mr.. Roosevelt said he
understood that the Democratic party
had bolted from Burke: that the ad-
ministraton felt the minds of Doug
las and Hanes, former government
officials, ran more TO dollars than to
humanity: and that Reed was well
qualified to lead dissident Democrats.
The President was first asked
whether the word bolt properly de-
Scribed Burke's offer of support for
WiIlkie. He made the remark about
the party boiling Burke and then
grinned until a roar Of laughter at his

Aiding the Library

Henderson citizens generally will
approve the appropriation by the
City Council the other night to help
support the Perry library. That in
stitution was given TO the people OF
the city and county on the condition
that the two governments would
agree permanently to finance its
operations. Both did, and both have
lately run into hot water, however,
by reason Of Il ruling by State au-
thoritieS that operation of a library
is not an essential public service,
and, in the sense that WaterWOrkS.
sewers, electricity and the like are
essentials, running a library is not
primarily that But the compleNi-
ties Of modern life have laid many
new and unSeemly burdens upon
governmental activities, many OF
which we think are unreasonable and
unnecessary. The place to begin con-
serving. howel er. is not in the mat
ter OF public education. and libraries,
after all, are that.
The city last year skimped about
and found money that was not de-
rived from advalOrem taxes, and
used that to keep up its appropria-
ton for the library in the face Of
the ruling that taxes could not be
levied for nOn-eSsentialS. 1t is pur-
suing = similar course this year and
with HGch approval and support
from IL. public as before.
Henderson and Vance coanty have
never had an outright donation from
d local citizen that ranks with the
gift of the Perry library. The COM
mUnity is and always has been, and
each year is becoming more appre-
Ciative Of the bcquest. The people
are willing that this institution be
supported from public funds, both
city and county.
II there were any doubt about this,
it could be easily diScerned if the
library were closed as other libraries
have elsewhere for want OF tax reve-
nueS. But municipal and county Of
ficialS are themselves sufficiently
sympathetic to the work to take
care of it without going to such
lengths.

Chance for Service

Acting for the city in an official
capacity, the airport committee
named by the City Council Monday
night. together with like commit
tee OF the county commissioners, has
an opportunity TO pertorm 3enu-
inc service to the community. Al
this stage Of the procedure the
problem may seem large and nsur-
nlountable. but the committees and
the public alike quite cOnCeNably
may be surprised at tie results that
would follow persistent determined
effort.
The Daily Dispatch has already
made its manners to the small group
OF aviation enthusiasts who have
virtually alone and of themselves
achieved all that has been done up
to this point. They are due full
measure Of gratitude, for, while their
accomplishments have been far short
of what is desired and needed by Il
growing city, they have dared tc
push ahead TO the point where we
have become more or less air
minded people.
Benefits TO accrue from an adC-
quate landing field for airplaneS arc
so obvious and so well understood
generally that it is not necessary
that these be recolnted here. Every
one knows that ships of the air, both
large and small, pass over Hender-
son or its vicinity in great numbers
every day. They pay little attention
TO us. partly at least because we
have paid little attention to them.
other than to stop and gaze overhead
at them. and they have become so
commonplace that few people longer
Go even that.
II we would land a spot on avia-
tons maps. we must demonstrate
our own good faith to the end that
we shall assure aviation the ordinary
facilities it must have. Appointment
Of committees by the city and the
county to determine the cooperation
required is 4 long stop in the right
direction. These gentlemen face the
opportunity to perform genuine
public service to this section. They
must first become air-minded them
selves to the point OF deeply-root-
ed consciousness of the possibilities
that lie ahead. and once they do that
only the determination with which
they attack the problem will measure
the degree Of success that awaits.
We need a landing field large
enough and sufficiently equipped to
accommodate planes Of all makes
and sizes. The city or town that
overlookS this bet is going to find
itself left behind in the march Of
progress. Let us all resolve that
Henderson shall not be found want
ing in this respect.

Labor Shortage?

A rear admiral Of the navy teSti-
fies before the House Naval Commit
tee that there is soon to he short
age of labor when the preparedness
program gets under way in earnest.
Well, why don't they get it under
way and stop talking about it? or do
it and then talk?
And if we are facing an imminent
labor shortage in this country, what
are they going to do with all this
WPA and other relief bollntieS that
have been appropriated for the com
ing year? And that with strong
hints that there will be d lot more Of
it before the fiscal year is over.
If people in Washington knew as
we'll how to get this country pre-
pared for war in defense or itself aS
they know how to spend money ne
government and the people haven't
got, it wouldn't be long until every
body else would be afraid to talk to
us in any but the most polite
language imaginable.
One can scarcely imagine any
thing more promising than for i
labor shortage to arise in this coun-
try, 1t is something that has not
existed in any large degree since
World War No. l. But if even Il
labor shortage is to give us no re-
lief from relief, wherein are we bet
ter off?
