THE NASH COUNTY NEWS, SPRING HOPE, NOR. CAR, THURSDAY, JULY THIRTIETH, 1936 NASH COUNTY NEWS Published Every Thursday at Spring Hope, Nash County, North Carolina, by The Nash County News, Incorporated. Burt P. Johnson Editor and Manager Walter Hargett Associate Editor Subscription: $1.50 a Year; $1.00 for 6 Months; 50c for 3 Months In Advance Entered as Second Class Matter, Feb. 15, 1929, at the Post Office at Spring Hope, N. C., Under the Act of March 3, 1879 Address All Communications to THE NASH COUNTY NEWS Spring Hope, N. C. COME NOW, WHAT’S THE CHARGE? Whoever is president of a great democracy will always be a worried man if he takes seriously all the criticisms directed at him, especially the venomous criticisms of men who support a rival party. It is true that a wise president may some_ times find better advice in the condemnation of his enemies than in the praises of his friends. But he knows that he can discount the bulk of the clamor as being only the carpings of the outs who wish they were in. He must be resigned to the fact that he will be blamed for every mis fortune and will be credited with none of his beneficial achievements. If Mr. Roosevelt is ever disturbed at the criticisms hurled against him, he need have no fear so long his most violent critic, the Hearst press, accuses him in one newspaper at the same time of destroying big business for the benefit of the radicals and of encouraging mo nopoly at the expense of the poor. VETERAN TEACHERS HONORED LET S GET TOGETHER No community prospers on the principle that business is a brand of piracy. Let the buy. er beware and let the competitor do his worst are tit slogans for wildcat enterprises and paten remedy venders perhaps, but honest merchants do not follow such practices. Cooperation to develop a community and to broaden the contri. bution of its merchants to its progress is profit, able to them all. Spring Hope merchants know this but they have not been active to take full advantage of coooperation. To direct the growth of a town which is growing without much encouragement, to plan for the fullest service of the merchants to the community, and to confine competition to its worthiest activities. Spring Hope must have a Merchants Association.' GOOD IN EVERYTHING Nash County ABC Hoard reports a net profit of $51,7813.7889 for the first year of operations, represented by cash on hand and stock which will, of course, be converted into cash. Of gross sales in the county North Carolina realized $78,8932.890 in sales tax during the same period. And the percentage of motor accidents in the state caused by intoxicated drivers was recently reported to be decreasing. As long as people will buy liquor anyway, under county control is the way to sell it. T. E.

SIDELIGHTS by BURT JOHNSON With all the lights on Broadway, and all tVie people on 42nd street this has been a very quiet week for me. In fact I have not been down — For I had mid-term exam.s and they “were something that was.” The profs think every body has the wi.sdom of Solomon. They were fooled when they got my paper ? ? Subways; There is nothing or earth like riding the “sub”. There is no place easier to get lost than the Penn. Station and 33rd st. ‘Sub Station’. Something over 20,000,000 people ride the subway each year. Multiply this by 5 cents and you’ll see the money they take in. There is some other things about the sub that one will always remember. The noise is something terrible, then there is the dust, the hot stuffy air, and worst of all to have some great big — greasy — to come in and sit down in your lap, or nearly so. Then there is something else. When you come out from in the 42nd St. station, which covers an acre of ground and see all the ta!! buildings from 10 to 30 stories high built right over the top you wonder how it all happens. Of Interest: At the present timo they are jacking up a 26 story building and making it two stor. ies higher in order to put a sub way under it — boy it’s wonderful what modern science can do. Re member this. There are some 400 people working in this building all the time. How about this for a modern miracle? . . Future: When I come to N. Y B or 10 years from now I’ll expect to see Virginia and LucyFrank giving a tap dance in Radio City. I’ll be in the 4th balcony if there are any seats available. Grand Central: This R. R. Sta tion and terminal covers 79 acres. I* is call the ‘‘monumental gate way to the city.” Facts of N. Y.: All trains going south and west from N. Y. have to go under the Hudson River. There are 20 large colleges in N. Y. Coney Lsland is not an Island in itself at all. ; The General Post affice in N. Y. handles over 16,000,000 pieces of mail per day. How about that .T, C. and Taylor, hut don’t forget Chicago has the largest postoffice. Park Avenue is known as the “high hat street of the world” but beginning at 110th St. it suddenly ch: nges into a push cart section. Along this .street yop find the more expensive apartments in habited by more millionaires than anywhere else in the world and un. der it you will find the tracks of the N. Y. Central R. R. A World Fair W’ill be held in N. Y, in 1939-40 all of you—Every one of you prepare to come and stay two weeks at least. 1000 acrcs of land is now being cleared build ings will soon start up. People in N. Y. pay sales tax and say nothing about it. Why so much fuss in N. C.? The News looks good to me up here each week. P. S. How is I. B.’s pasture get ting along C.
