President Roosevelt stopped by Gainesville, Ga., the other day and declared that the tornado-swept city would be given Federal assistance. Gene Talmadge. Governor of Georgia, "took a run up thera to look things over" several days after and said the unfortunate people of that city would be given aid from state funds. That is fine. But what we are more interested in than anything else is the forthcoming report of some kind we hope that will give the distribution and collection of Red Cross funds. The Red Cross, as we all know, is a great institution. hen there is suffering of any kind , the sympathetic Red Cross begins its drive. Recently the flood waters of the Ohio and other river* arownea our rinsDurgn ana otner (owns, the cry for fund* was sent out. And the South went to it. There was a how 1 and cry in Congress for funds to help the poor unfortunate victims. Then comes the devastating winds that all but wiped the towns of Cordelle. Gainesville and Tupelo off the map. And the South went to it again. Finally after all the dead had been buried, profess-' ional men of every venture had given their services until their nerves were left in a frazzle, hospitals and charity organizations threw their doors and finances open to the victims, and even rebuilding had been started, there comes these two great men with promises of help. The South, and particularly this section of North Carolina, was the first to respond. While we carried a story on the front page of this paper last week to the effect that Cherokee county had been damaged to the extent of #100,000 or more by re cent floods there was no hesitation on the part of local citizens to give to the tornado relief funds. It is safe to say that more than $400 has been donated by the two largest towns in this county to the storm victims at Gainesville, Cordclle and Tupelo. Several truck loads of produce, a generous gift of the mer chants, has rolled to the site of the disaster, and nearly as much was given to the victims of the great Eastern Floods. Yes, we are proud to say the South always gives. The folks from below the Mason and Dixon know what it is to suffer at the hands of the elements. They know what it means for their fellowmen to be run from his home and business that ho has given a lifetime in making. They know the suffering he bears, and understand his wants. The South should be proud of their record in this instance. It is hoped it will not be forgotten and that fellowmen from the East and West will understand. But better still is the personal satisfaction of having been the first and the most generous of the givers. And truly bears out the real character of the South"Greater Love Hath No Man? DEATH OF MANY CHILDREN DUE TO CARELESSNESS WITH DRUGS (North Carolina Health Bulletin) Some one has sent us a clipping from the News and Observer giving an account recently of the death of a child in Bladen County as a result of eating some aspirin tablelo. We herewith quote the item in full: "CHILD EATS ASPIRIN AND DIES AS RESULT "Robert Livingston, the one-and-one-half-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Zeb Pait of West Bladenboro, who] died yesterday from eating aspirin tablets, was buried this afternoon following funeral services at Oak Grove Church. "The small child, who was with his mother and others in the house, went into a bedroom, climbed upon the dresser, got a bottle of aspirin tablets and ate a large quantity. Efforts were made by the family to rid the child of the drug and immediately started him to a nearby hospital, but he died before reaching there". Not long ago the newspapers carried the notice of L. m The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, 1 TOLL BY RACKETEERS ' One important reason why farmers in the United States receive only 40 cents of the consumer's dollar, while those in Denmark receive 63 cents, is because of the enormous toll taken by racketeers, estimated to be more than a billion dollars annually. In New York City alone housewives pay nearly $100,000,000 a year to food industries racketeers who rule fake labor unions and take their rakeoff by boost ing trucking charges and coercing merchants, according to William F Morgan, commissioner of public markets of that city Unwarranted distribution cost borne by farmers and consumers are seen in the case of such products as milk and other perishables. In Chicago, a report revealed that milk deliverymen and route foremen received 3.4 per quart, while the poducers as compensation foi labor, interest on investment, and risk were paid 3.5 cents. In many cities racketeers maintain their domination through an unholy alliance with crooked politicians and officeholders, which makes it next to impossible to suppress them. If the government would devote more of it's energies to wiping out these rackets, and expend less effort in the harassing of honest busines, it would be of greater benefit to the public. It is notorious that while many millions of dollars are wasted in futile investigations for political pur poses, racketeering is permitted to flourish, with little effort being made to put an end to it. uniirirv ur uia.il An interesting account of how the South came tc be known as "Dixie" is given on the authority of Fred W Thompson, a Richmond banker, who says the term was first applied to money issued by a New Orleans bank before the Civil War, principally in $10 bills. These bills, because of the large French-speaking population of Louisana. were printed in French on one side and in English on the other. On.the French side the word "dix", meaning ten, was quite prominent, and the Americans got to calling the bills "dixies." From that Louisiana came to be known as the land of the dixies,-or Dixie Land. Then Dan F.mmett, a Northern minstrel, got hold of the idea and composed the song "Dixie" for a show performing in Ne.v York. The term Dixie soon came to be applied to the entire South. And there you are?if Mr. Thompon is right. THE EDUCATED MAN In view of much recent discussion of the attributes of an educated man, the points laid down by Albert Edward Wiggam, the author an lecturer, are interesting They arc as follows: He keeps his mind open on every question until the evidence is all in. He always listens to the man who knows. He never laughs at new ideas. He cross-examines his day-dreams. He knows his strong point and plavs it He knows the value of good habits and how to form them. Fie knows when not to think and when to call in an expert to think for him. You can't sell him magic. He lives a forward-looking, outward-looking life. Ho cultivates love of the Ireautiful. A WORTHWHILE ORGANIZATION This week the Murphy Woman's club celebrates its twenty-sixth anniversary. It is hard to find an organization of any kind that has rendered a better service to its community than have the ladies of this club. Time after time they take up some new project, offers some new form of entertainment and seek out interesting social affairs that will bring delight and a true civic spirit to this community. For a quarter of a century the Murphy Woman's club has served the town well, and in all instances they have tried to do so to the best of their ability. Our congratulations go out to them and we wish them many more years of success. a death of a child in Danville, Virginia, as the result of eating some candy-coated tablets thrown on the porch of the child's home. The tablets were in packages and were promiscuous samples of a patent medicine being advertised at the time. The tablets contained strychnine, and the child died in convulsions a short time after eating the samples. We reepeat again, drugs of any descrpilion should never be left within the reach of small children. The older members of a family who do this are all potential murderers. A child killed from eating drugs carelessly left within reach is just as dead as if he had been delibj erately given a dose of poison.
