THE AMERICAN WAY
POWER OF One
VOTE
By George Peck

This column is addressed to
the nearly fifty percent of eligi-
BILE American voters who, elec-
ton after election, fail to make
the short journey to the polls to
do their American duty.
And now with all dutiful citi-
zens turned elsewhere in this
newspaper, let me address the
slackerS:
Upon you depends the preser-
walton of representative govern
ment and our Capitalistic Sys-
tenn. The trendwhich started sew.
eral years ago with fewer and
fewer people voting on Election
Day, is alarming. Representative
government can be perpetuated
and individual freedom and re-
sponsibility preserved only when
the majority of the people speak.
In the Presidential election of
1913, less than half of the eligi-
BILE voters in the United States
went to the polls.
If you and the others who have
Stunned the polling booths do
not soon begin to exercise your
right to vote, the rule of the maj
ority will become the rule of the
few. This not only applies in our
national government but is
equally true in our states and
municipalities.
Just take a look around the
world and see what has happen
! ed in other countries where the
citizen became careless of his re-
sponsibilities. What would those
poor peoples not give to have re-
stored to them the things which
| they so carelessly threw away?
If you do not wish a similar sad
fate to over take America, then
vote on when you have the op-
portunity.
But, do l hear YOU say. WHAT
good will my one little vote do?"
That vote of yours is not a little
vote, it is a powerful one. The
value of one vote has many
| times proven to mean the cleo
ton or defeat of a particular
candidate; has meant the pass
ing or defeat of an important
piece of legislation. For eX-
ample;
Thomas Jefferson was elected
President of the United States
by one vote in the ELECTORAL
College.
John Quincy Adams got to be
Chief Executive because of one
vote.
Rutherford B. Hayes made the
White House by one vote. His
election was contested and refer
red to an Electoral Commission.
Again his margin of victory was
just one vote.
The States of California, Ida
no, Oregon, Texas and Washing
ton were taken into the Union

terest in the company-in the profits
it may earn and the risks it assumes.
Stockholders have the right to elect
the men who direct their company's
policy the same as they have a right to
vote and elect the men who run their
government. The directors of COM
pany must report to the stockholders
on the company's operations.
The hundreds of companies whose
securities are listed and sold on the
New York Stock Exchange are re-
quired by law and rules of the Ex-
change to make available information
which is essential to clear understan-
ding of company's financial condi-
ton.
1t is good American practice to
own homes, insurance policies, savings
accounts, automobiles and stocks in
the companies which serve the nation.
Whether you own one share or thous-
and, you own an interest in business
which is living part of your country.

For several weeks now the railroad
service into Tabor City and the three
other towns on this branch line of the
Atlantic Coast Line have been receiv-
ing the poorest rail service on record.
Things have got so bad now that you
can't tell anything about when to ex-
pect the train. For that matter it is
almost an uncertainty as to just
whether it is coming in at all or not.
The disturbing thing about this
poor service is that this spur line does
more business than most any that the
ACL has. Tabor City, Loris, Conway
and Myrtle Beach are served by the
line and all do big railroad business.
Now if the Coastline can make t.
service poor enough, and they are do
ing fine job of that now, there won't
be any business on the railroad. The
truckers will start getting more and
more of the business and the railroad
will find itself getting less and less
But this isn't a wholesome situation.
In the past few years, railroads
have taken out lines that were
branches all over the country. They
first show that the line is losing money
and eventually the utilities commission
allows them to discontinue the service.
Now there is a lot of business on this
line. But as stated with the deplorable
service that is now being given, r.

People are growing more concern
ed over what to do with their savings.
1t is one reason for the rapid building
of homes and for the increasing inter-
est of individuals in acquiring shares
of stock in operating companies pro-
viding necessary products and services
to the nation. Only limited number
of persons can own business alone but
countless millions, through stock own
ership, can acquire part ownership in
any number Of companies or corpora
tions.
If the same caution is used in buy
ing share of stock as is used in buying
a town lot or farm, the savings of a
purchaser are equally secure. The
average stakeholder in many of our
business corporations today owns no
more than forty or fifty shares of
stock. 1t is registered in the books of
the company and is legal evidence of
the shares he owns. His number of
shares determines the extent of his in

by virtue of single vote.
Yes, indeed, your vote is inn
portant. Remember:
Bad officials are elected by the
good citizens who do not take the
trouble to vote; that voting is
your assurance of freedom; that
your very future depends upon
your vote on Election Day.
And please don't trot cut that
old bromide to the effect that
you don't know the candidates
and the issues; that, anyway, all
politicians are the same no mat
ter what political tags they wear.
There is a difference between
candidates. You can get to know
them and you can study the is
sues.
Hopefully, of course, I'm as
Stunning that you have eyes and
ears that you can see and hear.
Then put those organs to work.
Attend political meetings, not
just Democratic meetings or Re-
publican meetings, but both.
Give all the candidates a radio
addition you'll find them clut-
tering up the air waves. Then
use the good judgment with
which Almighty God has endow-
ed you to select your candidates.
And whatever your choice, do
your job-eXercise the power of
that one ballot always.

ginning at 500 o'clock at Booker T.
Washington auditorium. known in
New York as the queen of the

Empress of Gospel singers" her re-

Gods Love" has reached the three
million sold mark, her "Move UP a

to the latest figures released.
Supporting Miss Jackson in her
Miami recital will be the Crockett
Jubilee Singers Of Chicago and two
well known Miami singing aggrega-
tons, The Southland Singers and
the Hughes Gospel Singers. These
supporting artists should serve as
a great assist to Miss Mahalia Jack
on Miami appearance.

ed week ago that Miss Jackson
would be here many of her friends
and admirers began enquiring
about reservations for the concert
and brisk advance sale tickets

cording to Mrs. Anna Crockett, man.

auditoriums all over the United
States, including the Oakland City
auditorium in Oakland, Cal, the
Chicago Civic Opera and the 9Th
Regiment Armory, both in Chicago
as well. as the famed Atlanta base
ball park in Atlanta, Ga.
1t is easy to predict that Mahalia
Jackson's unique style Of singing
gospel songs and the popularity that
she enjoys in this area will all add
toward making her appearance here
one Of her grandest triumphs. The
recital is being sponsored by the
Sphinx Civic Club.
