Editorials
We Disagree With The News-Reporier

Newspapers have an editorial page
designed for patting people on the back or
waging verbal war against existing evils
The latter is normally referred to as a
crusade but both are extremely i'm
portant to newspaper and the public it
serves.
recent Crusade" by The Tribune
was considered by some to be waste of
effort. A. E. Powell, Jr., chairman of the
Columbus County Board of Elections, was
given clean bill of health by the State
Board of Elections in hearing held in
Whtevile
Leslie Thompson, editor and publisher
OF the News-Reporter in Whiteville, said
edltorially last week that I'VE don't be-
lieve anybody won. We feel that the rift
In the Democratic party in Columbus
County has been widened and we are not
sure that the cause in trying to get cleaner
politics in the county has been bettered"
Perhaps, the crusade did create a
rift in the Democratic party in Columbus
County. We have no knowledge of this
rift and are acquainted with none of the
personalities if such rift has come into
existence. If there is such a rift and it
brings about cleaner politics then we are
not regretful
We hesitate to differ with Editor
thompson on his views that politics have
not been made any cleaner through the
hearing held by the State Board
Beneath the surface, Columbus poll
TICS may be as corrupt now as they were
during the May 20 primary; however we
believe that the effect of the hearing will
tend TO make them bit cleaner on the
surface. People i'll public office have a
tendency to walk bit closer to the
straight and narrow when they know
their actions are being scrutinized by the
citizenry.
No, politics and elections may not get
any cleaner but those persons instru-

mental In corrupting them will not be
nearly as brazen in the immediate future.
I'm SO far as we have been able to
learn the real reason Tor the charges
lodged against MIR. Powell was to
unseat him SO that man more favored
by some of the party leaders could step
In" said Editor Thompson.
Perhaps, Editor Thompson has a bet
ter knowledge of the situation than we. but
we are certain that w. Horace Carter
acted in the interest of Columbus County
when he lodged his complaints as a private
citizen against A. +. Powell, Jr.
Although Carter may have political
aspirations, he certainly had no political
motive in wanting Mr.. Powell removed
from the Craftsmanship.
We are certain that Editor THOMPSON
was not attempting to discredt the action

paperman went on record soon after the

columbus County's primaries are
about as clean as any and in some cases
cleaner than many in the State" said the
News-Reporter editorial
The fact that our neighbor has black.
er DIRT on his steps doesn't relieve us of the
responsibility in cleaning our own.
We agree with Editor Thompson that
politics should be cleansed from the bottom
up but until such time as the people
awaken from their political stupor and

Another Tobacco Season

Every year as August approaches a
smile comes over the faces of farmers
and businessmen alike because there's
widespread anticipation of a booming
economy. The next few weeks has all the
ear marks of prosperity as in years past.
Tobacco season from beginning to
end is romantic, exciting time Months
OF hard work suddenly materializes into
hard cash and everyone concerned can see
the tangible results of their labor.
This year, at least few weeks ago.
there was lot of talk about how the
tobacco crop was failure this season. But
providence came to the rescue again and
another fine leaf crop is being harvested.
Some local areas have crops that were hurt
some by the dry weather but most farmers
have another bumper crop. And they say
that it is curing out bright and pretty.
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-07-28

From reports coming in on the Geor.
gla-Florlda markets, the bright leaf is in
demand again and extremely high prices
are being paid. Tobacco farmers have been
blessed in this section for many years not
only with good crops but with good prices
and 1854 promises to be more of the same.
All of which makes us happy too In
one way or another, all of us are dependent
upon the farmer. What is good for them
Is good for us all, and we can sleep better
in anticipation of continued health in our
economy knowing full we'll that tobacco
Season 1854 is another success.
The Tabor City market had its best
year in history in 1853 when both quantity
and price was at its best 1t would be too
much to hope for equal quantity this sea-
son, but we believe that the quality and
price will stack up near or above the 1858

as Eetty Ann started packing her

bells. l figured it was some new
record she had heard Troy play
on a previous program. One
thing ccrtain-it was a catchy
title.
When got home from work
that afternoon, Betty Ann was
still there but the two suitcases
were in plain view.
IF you won't leave, I'll get
Troy to come home with me one
afternoon next week and explain
the. whole thing" l promised.
She accepted the proposal but
not once did she make a move
to unpack the SuitcaseS.
l had almost forgotten about
the matter until last Friday aft
ernoon when the crushing blow
was dealt.
THE Blue Eyes incident still
strikes me as being everything

said matter-of-fact like.

rash promises, she smiled anc

that those plans had been mad,

PLAIN TALK:
My Wife Left Me
PLAIN TALK:
By AL HARRISON

I don't know how Cliff made
out but there was bcdlam at nv
house. My wife had just returned
from two-weckS visit with her
mother in VirG Ma when il hap
pened.
This song is dedicated to
Cliff Sarvis and Al Harrison
from Blue Eyes" said Troy Nc
Pherson one oorning last week
during his morning program
over WTAB.
l nearly dropped my glass OF
tomato juice when | realized
what he had said. My wife's eyes
aren't blue and she was standing
there taking in every word of
Troy's remark.
Betty Ann, my wife, dropped
the bacon back into the frying
pan and both of them looked as
if they would burn.
Hes just making that up,"
l Offered quickly with a smile.
Sometime or other, 1 had read
that ii pays to take the lead in
family spats.
Il haven't said a word. Why
are you defending yoursclf?" she
quizzed without bothering to
smile a dcrn bit.
Who's defending himself? I
shouted in SLOPES of suuelchins
the matter.
Don't shout at me-it's too
early in the morning and I won't
listen to it," she hollered.
I laughed as l watched the
smoke from the bacon rise and
get into her eyes. 1t was a tiny
black Speck in the pan but it
produced smoke like forest
fire.
She stood there tanning the
smoke away with her hand and
not saying a word. The silence
was killing me.
why don't you burn the bac-
on while you're at it," suggest
ed sarcastically.
The two eggs that were ready
to drop into the pan were thrown
into the sink. Figuring that
I'd be of some help, l picked ur
the pan and smoldering flecks Of
bacon and threw them into the
back yard.
All this time, Troy was talk

CARRIERS COLUMN:
Plagued With Errors
By w. HORACE CARTER

Errors are peculiar animals.
And we ought to know because
we make our share of them.
We particularly remember
these errors when the paper
comes up with one in an adver-
tisement ever so often. Seems
that if you ever make one in
mans ad, that you will be plagu-
ed for months by making other
mistakes in the same customers
space. 1t gets right embarrassing
after while.
Now you can go for years
without making an error in any
given customers ad but once you
make one, you can bet your boots
you are jinxed and a half dozen
more will pop up Immediately
following that first one.
We have been plagued with
errors in S. & S super Market
ads and Piggly-Wiggly here for
some time, and it seems that no
matter what, we just can't break
the speel. Except for the fact
that Tabor City merchants are
understanding souls, things
would be more embarrassing
than they are.
Down in Loris with our Loris
Sentinel we have another fine
customer whom we continually
foul up by making mistakes in
his ads and come hell or high
Tabor City tribune. (Tabor City, N.C.) 1946-1991, 1954-07-28

water it seems we keep right on
making the errors. That's the
Farmers Bank and B. K Stabler
that we are always messing up.
Now Mr.. Stabler has been an
understanding man and hasn't
once beat us over the head like
he probably should have.
Just few weeks ago we came
up with a legal ad of his that
listed a figure at 100000, 900
instead of $4,000. Now such err
rors as that might make the bank
look mighty good or mighty bad,
but it makes us look bad in eth
er instance.
But like ! said to begin with,
once you start making mistakes
in a customers space, you can
be assured that it is just the first
in a long series and only time
will get you back on the right
track.
Since having that figure wrong
in Mr.. Stabler's legal ad, we
have now come up with a rather
large display advertisement with
the name of the bank completely
left out. That's about as big a
mistake as you can make.
With patience on the part of
the customers, we usually Sue
coed in eventually getting
Strengthened out again.

Facts OF State

county CITY In North Carolina is
Rocky Mount which lies in both
and Nash counties. In
cidentally, Edgecombc has the dis
of having three other
within its borders
which it must share with other
counties. Both Battleboro and
are in Nash and Edge
combe counties, and Sharpsburg
lies in Edgecombe, Nash and Will
son counties.
North Carolina is the only state
with an even 100 counties, altho-
ugh no!ghboring Virginia shared
that distinction until recently. Eff
fective this year, two Virginia CO.
unties, Elizabeth City and War
wick, were abolished, thus leaving
Virginia with only 90. Texas has
more counties than any state-254.
Only five other states have more
than 100 counties-Georgia, 159;
Illinois, l02: Kansas, los; Ken
lucky, 100; and Missouri, ia.
Rhode Island does not have any
county governments as all. Louis
lana has parishes" which CORE
Spond to counties. There are some
areas in the United States called
counties which do not have county
governments, and some areas not
included within any county. In
New York state, for example, the
counties of Bronx, Kings, New
York, Queens, and Richmond are
governed by New York City. In
Virginia, on the other hand, there
are % cities which are not located
IN any county, including Rich
mond and all the largest cities in
the state.
One may wonder just what the
term special districts" of which
North Carolina has LOG, means
what functions do they perform.
These special districts perform a
variety of governmental functions.
The majority of them have been
established for a specific purpose,
but some Of them have been given
authority by their enabling ligisla-
ton to perform a variety of serv-
ices. Over one-half of all special
districts in the United States is
accounted for by three types-fire
districts (18 per cent?, drainage
districts 18 per cent?, and soil
conservation districts (16 Der
cent?. In North Carolina, however.
drainage accounts for 35 per cent
OF all special districts, soil conser-
walton for 25 per cent, sanitation.
ii per cent, and Urban water sup-
ply, 10 per cent.
North Carolina is one of only
five states which does not have
school districts which perform
governmental functions. In this
State, public schools are a govern
mental responsibility of the 100
counties and IA municipalities. The
trend for the country as a whole
is definitely toward the system
now prevailing in North Carolina.
Tor one-fourth Of the total public
school enrolment in the country
is administered by county, munich
pal or state units of government
rather than school districts.
PerShpS, the best illustration of
North Cardinals good showing in
units of government as compared
with the country as whole is the
number of units in terms of popu-
lation and area. North Carolinians
comprise 2.69 per cent of the Ma
tons population. and the States
land area is 1.65 per cent of the
Nations and yet the States 6O8
governmental units is only one
half Of one per cent of the Nations
total. In the United States as q
whole, there is a unit of govern
ment for every 1921 persons.
whereas in North Carolina there
is one for every 6,681 persons.

In county units Of government.
North Carolina has them in abund-
ance, an even 100, which is 16 per
cent Of all governmental units.
The comparable percentage for the
country as whole is three. There
are 10 counties in North Carolina
which must share their towns and
cities with other counties. The
best known example of an inter-
