Murphy. North Carolina, Thursday, October 1936.
VOTE
Tuesday we uru<- you as we always have, to go to
tiie polls and vote?not blindly but courageously.
Voting should not be considered a duty, but a privilege.
and the man who will abuse such a privilege should
be hailed into court and reckoned with by the law.
Not so long ago we heard a Georgian say: "When
this country really steps out. when everybody has plenty
and everybody is contented, that will be the day when
a few are asking no more, What is there in it for me'." i
*TM. _. : .1.. i-.ii - - ...

think, and its principle is particularly adaptable to the 1
cause of our nation at this time.
i
"What is there in it for me"? How often that fact
becomes evident on the part of some national figures and
firms. It's not a question of dividing up with the other j
fellow, but "how much is there in it for me"?
Most people can see a way out of this thing on elections
day. And they can come out of ?t by VOTING
CONSCIENTIOUSLY AND CORAGEOUSLY.
lr. a startling number of instances voting will be
influenced and aborted at the polls Tuesday. Rut none (
who with pride call themselves citizens should be guilty.
Don't vote blindly. Have the candidates for office 1
in mind Tuesday when you go to the polls and vote care- *
fully. ?
No matter who you vote for. if 100 per cent of the
voter.-, back up their honest conviction, the "what-istherc-in-it-for-me"
boys will be put on the run.
BOY SCOUTS
Much i> being done for the youth of Murphy at the
present time through the local boy Scout organization.
Every Tuesday evening the young men meet and
go through their rituals and exercising paces under the
leadership of Hubert Adams, Jr.
Mr. Adams came here two years ago to work for
the TV A. Since then he has taken active interest in
fckout work. He has built the organization to one of
about 75 membership that is as interesting and welldeveloped
as any we ever saw. Last summer he took
all the boys on a trip to the coast at a very nominal expense.
Murphy should be proud to have a man like Mr.
Adams take such pride and pain with her men of tomorrow.
At the Scout meetings they are being well trained
as useful citizens.
We are glad that the boys are meeting with Mr.
Adams and that he has their support in one of the really
worth-while enterprises in this town.

THE BIBLE AS L1TERAURE <
Lamentations that The Bible is not read today as
ii once wa - are common. The Memphis Commercial ?
Appeal had an editorial on this theme only last Sunday.
Thirty-five years ago Professor Richard G. Moulton, the
great Biblical scholar, reviewing his own work and that
of others who had endeavored to make the Scriptures
etter understood, better appreciated, said: "We have 1
rone almost everything that is possible with there writ
ings . . . There is yet one thing left to do with The ,
Bible; simply to read it." c
The losses entailed as a result of the decline in
Bible reading have been incalculably great. There was j
a long period in England and in this country when The
Bible was familiar in all its parts to all literate persons
?and t ovast numbers who were not literate. Tens of
thousands knew it almost bv heart. Its influence upon t
their lives, their thinking, their speech, their writings
was profound. .Millions of persons, through generation
after generation, searched the Scriptures with all dili- (
-once in the confident belief that through them God *
was speaking to mankind, that in them, and in them
alone, were to be found all truths necessary for salvation.
s
There are millions who still hold to this belief or p
who profess to do so; but if that belief were as general ^
as it once was The Bible would not be neglected by other
millions as it has been. So neglected has it been by
recent generations that there are many who do not know
that, considered as literature alone, The Bible ranks su- is
preme. It is unrivalled in its majesty, in its beauty, in
a
its human interest, in its variety. It is the great history
of a race anew of mankind. No other writings can r
stir the heart as do the Scriptures. No other writings
so link man with the infinite. It is strange beyond be- %
lief that the fashion should have grown, as it did, to neg- u
lect and even on te part of many to despise the sacred
word. So widespread has this fashion extended, however,
that it ha-i opened the way for one of the most remark- o
able adventures in modern publishing. ^
Simon & Schuster, perhaps the most enterprising
publishing house in America today, has done a strikingly I'
notable thing in publishing an edition of The Bible
"designed to be read as living literature." The editor
af this edition. Dr. Ernest Sutherland Bates, has used
the King James Version, the only translation in all literature,
as he says, the position of which as a world
classic is absolutely sure. The sole aim. he states, 4*has S|
been to present the glory of the King James Version in 1
is luminous, as compact, and as fitting a form as pos- g
able." The books have Deen arranged by time and sub- tl
ject matter; the division of the text into verses and
T
chapters has been dropped; the long record of "begats"
is omitted, prose is printed as prose, verse as verse, a
drama as drama, letters as letters; the typography is as S
?ood as we have ever seen and the effort has been so to
present "the noblest monument of English prose" that ^
it will make an instant appeal to the reader. d
Such an edition of The Bible may not appeal to
those who want no change whatever in the presentation
of the Book of Books. It will, however, we venture to
predict, stir a tremendous new interest in The Bible on' r
the part of all into whose hands it comes. This writer ^
has seen no new book in a long time which gave him
quite the thrill that this new edition of one of the oldest i
of books did. It may well be that its publication, while s
the edition is dedicated by the publishers "to literary ap- 3
preciation rather than to theological, doctrinal or reference
purposes," will have the effect, as it should have, ^
of kindling an interest in The Bible greater than any *1

GOODS NOT ORDERED
Considerable annoyance is often caused by the 4
practice of certain firms which send goods by mail to J
persons who have not ordered them. Sometimes the \
goods are accompanied by stamps for their return in ]
case the recipient does not desire to keep and pay for .
them. But the rewrr.pping and return of these packages ?
?
is unnecessary, according to the National Better Busi
ness Bureau, which has obtained legal opinions on the j
subject. j
"So long as unordered goods are not used by the re- j
cipient, he need neither return nor pay for them," says 1
the Bureau. All that can be expected is that the recipi- j
ent hold the goods ready to be returned in case a representative
of the sender calls for them. And if they
are not called for within a reasonaWe time, the recipient
may have a claim for storage."
While no one would ordinarily desire to keep goods
for which payment has not been made, the paying for
unordered merchandise, or even its return to the sender,
simply encourages the practice of trying to force goods
upon the public. If everyone womld follow the advice
here given, the nuisance would he stopped in short order.
