STANCIL By frequently staging some Hoover cart parade. Many people are acknowledging mistakes they’ve made. They bought new cars and rode as long as they could. And then they dismantled both the body and the hood. They took two wheels and the axle from the rear. And rigged them up into a much prized souvenir. This souvenir they are using as a token of the past. Because they are coming to their senses at last. They rode- and rode, and saw their bank account dwindle, And continue to ride with two wheels and the spindle. They advertise to the world they’ve been free to spend. And have been too much on the go throughout the week-end. Instead of staging parades in their contempt for Hoover, Each one should confess he’s been too much of a rover. The empty seats at the churche^ on Saturday and Sunday, Has caused many of a fellow to spend a blue Monday. Instead of giving this thing the name “Hoover Cart”, They should remember that the blame is on their part. They are advertising to the w’orld how silly they’ve been. And to try to lay it on Hoover is a shame and a sin. Churches have been made to suffer for lack of support. And the .I'ails have been filled from cases in the courts. Mortgages and taxes have taken thousands of homes aw’ay Because they rode and they rode, both night and day. They- are now being used as a mere political tool. By parading the streets with two wheels and a mule. It is a frank admission as to how’ their money w'ent; But they are trying to discredit our President. Just note the auto skeletons about any town or city. And if you don’t stop and sigh, you are void of pity. It is a sad spectacle to everyone who passes by— And as to the depression—that’s just the answer why. I HEARD AROUND * THE COURT HOUSE A PROCLAMATION BY THE GOVERNOR TELL THE NEW TEACHER. Your children, the chances are, ■will start school this month under new teachers. Teachers, like par ents, differ widely in ability, under standing, and character. With few exceptions, however, they are anx ious to do their best for the boys and girls committed to them. Suppose you were a teacher, fac ing thirty pupils none of whom you had ever met before. You would know that here were thirty individ uals, no two alike in ability and, even more important, no two alike in perservarence, courage, physical health, self-confidence, willingne.ss to co-operate, fears, emotional stabili ty. You would realize this fact, but you would also be aware that in the normal course of events it would be months before you could begin to understand the' peculiarities of thirty different children. Probably the school year would pass without your gaining a clear vision of the problems of some of these boys and girls. During most of the time you would be teaching much like a farnj- er planting seed without testing and even without knowledge of the vari eties represented in the seed. In either instance the results would be largely accidental. If you were a teacher, faced with such a situation, what would you most desire, for the sake of the 'children and for your own success and peace of mind ? Without a mo ment’s hesitation you reply: “As much knowledge as I can get of each child.” That is what every teacher wants. There is the parent’s opportunity. I predict that education would be improved fifty per cent this year if every mother would call on her children’s teacher and tell that teacher, as frankly as possible, the characteristics of her children. Not apologize for her children, not de fend them, not make them out brighter or duller, better or worse; than they are. Merely explain, as well as .she can, what sorts of children they are. Point out in what respects the children have found difficulty at home and in previous classrooms. Tell- their likes and dis likes. And, especially, detail any peculiarities that they have (ail children have some). The owner of a dry-goods, store would not start a salesgirl selling ribbon without explaining every de tail of the ribbon stock. And a group of thirty children is infinitely more complex—and infinitely more .important—than any stock of ribbon. Any parent, too, has a bigger stake in the teaching profession than the storekeeper has. in the salesmanship of his employees. Parents who believe this will do their part this fall toward giving teachers the information necessary for really teaching and guiding in dividual boys and .girls. The House hold Magazine.

During the year 1931, St. Louis, Sept. 30.—Secretary of two hundred and fourteen North Cai'olinians lost their lives by fire. In addition, during the same year fire destroyed property valued in excess of thirteen million dollar.s. This is the direct loss; it is impos sible to estimate the indirect losses incident to the destruction of lives the Treasury Ogden L. Mills said here tonight the November election presented the choice between Presi dent Hoover, who has “mastered every detail of an immense problem and has developed the machinery for dealing with it,” or a “new and untried man,” who has been admin istering the comparatively simple routine business of State govern ment.” The Treasury head said that with “ground for belief that we have mastered the forces of destruction and that the peak of the crisis is past,” the voters “face the most im portant election since 1864” and should “act solely with the best int erest of the country in mind.” 'The Democratic campaign has pro duced “mere vague promises and and property. THEREFORE, in compliance with Section 6080 of the Consolidated Statutes of North Carolina, I do hereby set aside the week of Octob er 9th as Fire Prevention Week, and do urge the people of North Carolina to accept the responsibility that is theirs in this connection. I call upon them to cooperate with their Insurance Department, their (BY J. C. STANCIL) Some of the North Carolina Dem ocratic newspapers are trying to make it appear that they have dis covered “something new under the sun” in .American politics. They have discovered that a United States sen ator named George Norris, of Ne braska, is supporting Franklin D. Roosevelt for President. They say Norris is a Republican, and they are advising Republicans in North Car olina and Johnston County to fol low Norris and vote the Democratic ticket. Well, let’s do a little investigating and find out what manner of man this is that the Democratic politi cians have set up as a guiding star for the Republicans to follow. Let’s turns back the pages of history un til we reach the record of 1928. Here we find it recorded that one George W. Norris, of McCook, Ne braska, had at some previous time been elected as- a Re publican, by the votes of the. Repub licans in the state of Nebra-ka, to a seat in the United States Senate, and .in that good year 1928 the said Geor,ge W. Norris deserted the Re publican organization, and went out over his state making speeches against Mr. Hoover, and advising all the Nebraska Republicans to follow' him and vote for A1 Smith of New York for President. Well, let’s .-ee how much influence Mr. Norris wielded over those real Nebraska Republicans in the 1928 campaign. By turnln.g back to 1924 w'e find that Nebraska gave Calvin Coolidge a majority of 81,296 votes over Davis, the Democratic nominee for President, and in 1928, we find that this good Republican state gave Mr. Hoover a majority of 147,786 over A1 Smith for President. It will thus be seen that in spite of the fight made by Norris against Mr. Hoover, the Republican majority there for Pre-ident in 1928 was in creased by 66,590 votes, or almost doubled. This shows what the Ne braska Republicans think of all the free political advice given them by Mr. Norris. It also show's w'hat those home folks of his think of a wolf who parades in sheeps’ clothing. The Republicans had cause to be well pleased with the result of the campaign made by Mr. Norris in 1928, and it may be that he can do ,Mr. Hoover more good by campaign Our Customers And Friends Prices ranging from $7.50 to ^ ^ values are better than since carry a full assortment of ^^dels, Regu lars, Stouts, Slims and Stubbs.

It w'as a noticeable fact that in Benson last Saturday, and in Smith- field Tuesday, a large per cent of those who gathered to watch the parades were children.

Yet, no soooner is election day past ■ than, with few exceptions such as the grand old man from Virginia, Senat or Glass, our opponents proceed to ignore and flout all of the principles and teachings of their patron saint.s. “It is they who are eternally seek ing to create new Federal agencies and to expand old ones. It is they who have furnished impetus to the whole Federal-State aid movement that is actually wiping out State lines and undermining State sove- riegnty. It is they who are con tinually urging Federal grants for all manner of purposes which are destructive of all local responsibility.

NEW ENGLAND TEXTILE MILLS SHOW INCREASE IN ACTIVITY One hundred and twenty-five Co lumbus county farmers cooperated to order 800 bushels of certified Abruzzi rya through a local mer chant. k- cr.' A group of Michigan editors were i^ Washington recently and were received by President Hoover who talked to- them at considerable length. One of the editors. State Senator Chester M. Howell, of Sag inaw, presented the President with a large sugar beet, acompanying- the gift with this statement: “The farmers of the Saginaw Val ley in Michigan, are licking the de pression, aided by the housewives of our .state .through a $10,000,000 cash money crop—the sugar beet. “Aided by the Republican protec tive tariff, Michigan .sugar beets will this- year return $10,000,000 to farmers, field workers and maun- facturers. This is 60 percent more cash return than in 1931. “Michigan beet sugar, made from beets grown in .the Saginaw Valley, is being used by every Michigan housewife.

In that event this industry which Senator Howell says is worth this year $10,000,000 to the farmers of Michigan will be wiped out. That certainly is something for the Micli- i.gan voter to think about when he goes to the polls. • The North Carolina Democratic politicians this year have invented a new scheme to get people to attend their meetings. When ^hey want to get a crowd together for a political meeting they advertise that there is to be a “Hoover Cart Rodeo”, and offering a few dollars in prizes, in duce people to bring in various sorts of carts made from parts of automobiles, and join in a parade. There would be no objection to this if they did not bring in and ridi cule the name of the President of the United States. There is no npore reason why these depression vehicles should be called “Hoover Carts” than there is that they should be called “Gardner Cart=.” Herbert Hoover is Presklent of the United States, and 0. Max Gardner is Gov ernor of North Carolina; and as long as these men occupy their re spective positions, they should be honored and respected as rulers “of our state and nation. The future Welfare of our country is at stake when this is not done. One feature of the so-called “Hoover Cart” parades is to have inscribed upon the carts and on banners various sorts of false and ridiculous charges and accusations a.gainst President Hoover. This should not be permitted. Those who en.ga.ge in such doings are simply sowing the seeds of rebellion and revolution in the minds of our chil dren. and in the minds of older peo ple who are illiterate and uninform ed. When we have elected a man to the office of President, we have placed fiim at the head of our Gov ernment, and regardless of the name of the political party that he may affiliate with, he is the President of all the people of this nation, and is entitled to all the honor and respect that is due to one holding that high office. Any unjust attack upon the Pres ident should be considered as an attack upon our country, and should be, dealt with aecordin,gly. When our children are tau.ght. either by precept or example, to be disiespectful to any nronerly con stituted authority, whether it be Des Moines, Oct. 4.—President Hoover tonight declared hi-: sponsor ship for a dozen policies for the re lief of agriculture, and, naming the Democratic leadership, directly, as serted that if the program proposed by members of that party in the last session of Congress had ever reached enactment, “it would have been the end of recovery.” In his first campaign address since accepting the renomination, the chief executive said he favored such pro posals as radical revision of the ag ricultural marketing act, readjust ment of land taxes, reorganization of the federal land banks, and the application of any annual payment on war debts to “securing an ex pansion of foreign markets for American agricultural products.” For Higher ’Tariffs. As another major point he promis ed his farm belt audience even high er tariffs than now existed on farm commodities “where necessary to protect' a,griculture.” Then, quoting directly from criti cism of the present tariff act by his Democratic opponent, Franklin D. Roosevelt, be asserted; “What the Democratic party pro poses i- to reduce your farm tar iffs, Aside from ruin to agriculture, such an undertakin.g in the mid.st of this depression will disturb every possibility of recovery.” Earlier, Mr. Hoover listed propo sals. he said were initiated in the Democratic coittrolled house of rep- re-entatives, “under the leadership of the gentleman who has been nominated the Democratic candidate for vice president and thus these measures and policies were approved by their party.” “Pork Barrel” Bills. One after another, the President named “a program of pork barrel legislation in the surh of $1,200,000,- 000,” the bonus bill, the “creation of sheer flat money,” a bill to “destroy the effectiveness of the tariff com mission,” and a “prl'-e fixing bill.” “All this,” he as-'erted, “under mined public confidence and delayed all efforts of the administration -and the powerful instrumentalities which we H»ad placed in action to save the country. “These measures repre: enting the dominant Democratic control brought 'liscourageraent and delay to recov ery. That recovery began the mo ment when it was certain that these destructive measures of this Demo- crtatic controlled house were stop ped. Had their program passed it would have been the end of recov ery. If it ever passes it will end hope and recovery. “Do you propose to place these men in power and subject this coun try to that sort of measures and policies? It is by their acts in Congre.ss and their leadeiship that you shall know them. Earlier in his address, the chief executive recounted what he de scribed - as efforts of the adminis tration against depression economic forces, and declared “a great na tional victory has been achieved. Speaking of the drive to main tain the United States on a gold basis, he said: “We won this great battle to pro tect our people and home. We held the g-ibraltar of world stability. The world today has a chance. It is g-rowing’ in strength. Let that man who complains that things could not be worse thank God for this victory and make reverent acknowl edgment of the courage and stam- na of a great democracy.” Outlines His Policies. In outlining -what he called the ‘policie- of the Republican party,” the President listed the following- 12 points; 1. Maintenance and possible ele vation of the protective tariff on farm products as “the very basis of safety to .American agriculture.” 2. Revision of the agricultural marketing- act, including repeal of the stabilization clause. 3. Creation of a program for “the reorganization of agriculture so as to divert lands from unpi-ofitable to profitable u-e and to avoid the cul tivation of lands the chief return of which is the poverty and misery of those who lived upon th’em.” 4. Speeding up of the completion of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence waterway “as fundamental relief to agriculture by cheaper transporta tion,” 5. Leniency in the collection of farm loans totaling $120,000,000. 6. Readju.stment of land taxes through a conference of tax experts' to be called “as soon as the national election is out of the way.” 7. Restoration of normal short term credit to agriculture through the federal re-erve system, the Re construction Finance corporation, the intermediate credit banks and the 10 new agricultural credit corpora tions. 8. Use of Reconstruction corpora tion funds to “make credits available for sales of farm products in new markets abroad.” ^ 9. A recommendation to the next Congress for further reorganization of the federal land banks, to enable them to expand in the refinancing of farm mortgages. 10. Promotion of world stabilit\ through disarmament and maintain- et peace as a factor “in the recov ery and expan,sion of our agricultur al markets.” 11- Opposition to cancellation of wai debts but the recommendation that any annual payment on the foreign debt be used for the specific purpose of securing an e.xpansion of toreign markets for American agricultural products. 12.
