■■ h THURSDAY, SEPT. 15, 1932. THE JOHNSTONIAN—SUN M. L. STANCIL, Editor and Mgr. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY —By— The Sun Publishing Co., Inc. Selma, N. C. SUBSCRIPTION One Year $1.00; 6 Months 50c HEARD AROUND THE COURT HOUSE C&«H>OS>^H>CD^HIDCDHK>CDHK>C (BY J. C. STANCIL) Entered as second-class matter July 4, 1929, at the post office at Selma, N. C. March 3, 1879. under the Act of AS GOES MAINE, ETC. ('Greensboro Daily News) While returns in the Maine elec tion are incomplete as this is writ ten, the figures at hand show Demo cratic candidates for governor and two congressional seats leading their Republican opponents with the third G. 0. P. aspirant for Congress ap parently assured of victory. The Daily News is usually inclined to pay little or no attention to the Pine Tree State as • a political ba rometer because of its generally ac cepted Republican proclivity, as evi denced by the fact that it has been continuously in the G. O. P. column for the past 18 years. Conditions are similar there to the situation in the southern states where sentiment, from rock-ribbed centers of Democ racy, could hardly be hailed as in dicative of the national trend. But when these strongly partisan states do swing in the opposite direction, just as a southern tier did in 1928, the change is a virtual upheaval which becomes doubly, significant. It is our guess that nobody, in cluding the most optimistic party leaders, really expected Maine to go Democratic, if it does with complete returns. But even should Republican candidates win by narrow margins, the blow will be staggering in view of the opposition’s gain in votes. The reversal in balloting may be ascribed to any number of reasons. Including what some may see as a sharp reaction to Maine’s previous ly ardent dry view. At this di.stance, however, it appears that the unem ployment issue, particularly in view of the debarment of those who had received public relief from the polls in one major precinct, figured prom inently in the outcome. General dis satisfaction, an irresistible desire to take a whack at the ins, to try something and somebody new, is presumably back of the Republican reverses, cumulative evidence of the trend which G. 0. P. leaders must combat if their candidates are to emerge victorious a few weeks hence. As to the ultimate significance of the Maine revolt and its survival of the tides of November, the Daily News does not profe=s to say. Anent its immediate effect, however, administration leaders surely realize anew that if they can do anything to spur business improvement now is the time to apply full pressure, and pronto. The Smithfield Herald in its is sue of September 9th, printed an article purporting to have been writ ten by H. V. Rose of Smithfield, which does me a great injustice, and to which it is my intention to reply more fully in the near future. How ever, I now desire to call attention to three items in Mr. Rose’s article. 1st. Mr. Rose in referring to me in the second paragraph of his ar ticle says, “he frequently publishes things which altogether are untrue.” I denounce that charge as false and slanderous, and 1 now demand of H. V. Rose that he either withdraw that statement or produce facts to pro}fe his charge. Unless, or until he does one of these things, I .=‘ay let his statement bear the label of falsehood. 2nd. While in my office on August 18, 1932, Mr. Rose read an article which I had -written and which ap peared in The Johnstonian-Sun of that date. In that article I had men tioned the existing criticism con cerning the handling and distribu-, tion of the government flour which was then being distributed through the Red Cross and other charitable organizations for relief purpose-. In this connection I said “It seems that it ought to be the duty of somebody to make an investigation of this matter and give the facts to the public. If the names of all who have been getting this flour were published that would at least make a directory for the use of those who might want to hire la bor.” When Mr. Rose read the par agraph containing that statement he held up my copy of The John.-ton- ian-Sun and exclaimed angrily: “This paper is going to have an opportunity to publish that list of names.'” He said he was going to see to it that the list was furnished “to this paper” and that he wanted all the names printed, even if it took the whole paper to hold them. I told him I thought that the list of names ought to be published, and that as a director in the Sun Pub lishing- Co., I would u=e my influ ence to get the names published free of charge, pi'ovided he would furnish the list ready to be printed. He then said he would furnish the list provided that there was nothing in the regulations of the Red Cross that would prohibit the publication of the names of the parties to whom the flour had been given. He, as chairman of the county Red Cross, should know the regulations. If he has ever found any regula tions prohibiting the publishing of the names he has kept that fact to himself. There could be no good reason why the list should not be published. I think it would make in teresting reading. I made announce- Johnstonian-Sun that arrangements | had been completed to print the' names free of charge, provided that the list should be received fronv Mr. Rose within 30 days. Soon after that announcement was made several people asked me if I thought Mr. Rose would supply the list of names as he had proposed to do. To each one I expressed the opinion that he would never furnish the list. Mr. Rose in his article says “Mr. Standi wants a record published. He wants it published in The John stonian-Sun.” H. V. Rose knows that he was the one who first suggested that the names should be published I in The Johnstonian-Sun. What I I did, as he knows, was to accept his I proposition.- Now, according to his I article in The Herald he has backed j down from his own proposal. I , have never advocated publishing the j list in any particular paper, but ; have said that I could see nothing I wrong with the idea of printing the names in any, or all, of the news papers in Johnston County, and giv ing the amount of flour dealt out to each person. This would enable everybody to see just what had been done, and if the people of the coun ty, after seeing the list of name's, and the amounts furnished each per son, should feel that the- job had been properly done, that would end the criticism. Complete publicity is the greatest remedy for suspicion. 3rd. Mr. Rose appeared to want to leave the impression that I had made a direct charge that the Red Cross flour had been u^'ed as a po litical tool in Johnston county. His article in The Herald, in this matter ONE REASON FOR UNEM PLOYMENT. Spokesman-Review, Spokane, Wash. We want to build up manufactur ing in Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and other cities of the Pacific North west. How can that hope be real ized if we demolish our tariff gates and invite Japan to supply our mar kets, take our money and pay it to Japanese labor working long days for a few cents a day? Japanese manufacturers and wage 'earners would be delighted to have the United States lower its tariff bars and adopt a “competitive tariff for revenue,” as the Democratic party and Mr. Roosevelt are advo cating. Even with our present protective tariff, which Mr. Roosevelt and Democratic congressional candidates are proposing to lower, so that products and manufactures of for eign cheap labor could compete on equal terms in American markets ■with our own producers and wage earners, Japan is breaking into the markets of this country. Last year Japan sold '71,000,000 light bulbs in American markets. In six months this year, Japan marketed 1,323,000 pairs of rubber shoes in the United States, compar ed with 200.000 pairs in the same months in 1931. American manufac turers have appealed to Commis sioner of Customs Edle, protesting that many American rubber shoes factories will be closed this winter and 15,000 employees discharged, unless the industry is protected from Japane-e competition. Japanese tennis shoes are selling in variety stores of the United States for as little as 20 cents. These shoes were copied after tvpes and from models made in the Unit ed States. Japanese manufacturers have two big advantages over American man ufacturers—pitifully low wages and cheap ocean freight rates.

In concluding my ar ticle I said “many people believe I that this flour is being used as a political tool in many places in North Carolina, and gyen in John ston County.” According to news paper reports this has been done elsewhere, and people have told me that they believed it had been done in John-ton County. The more closely Mr. Rose and Mrs. Thurston keep their acts con- be. As for what I have said about the handling of the flour, I am standing by it. NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND.
