PAGE TWO CHATHAM RECORD O. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year SUSO Six Months • t rj THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1030 THE LEA' GRADUALLY WORKS It has been two or three years since the Chatham Rec ord first discussed the county home business in North Caro lina and pointed out the cost liness of the plan. Now the discussion is rife over the State, Give them time and they catch up. Rut The Rec ord is sometimes so far ahead that its suggestions are ap parently worthless. But after awhile the leaven works. It has been two or three years since The Record first began to proclaim the effects of the ability of the great virtual monopolies to drain the country of its resources j through the power to levy ex-j tortionate profits, but we see signs of a more general rec ognition of this menace to the , prosperity of the country. It is the free dollar that does the mischief. When a thousand men get a million dollars a year, it means only a thousand each, and practi cally every dollar of it goes to the purchase of necessities. On the other hand, when one man gets the million, he can live like a king and have $900,000 to invest, and thus further forward the game of monopoly. Even tto man who makes a net income of Sds,- 000 can save enough a year to buy all the possessions of twenty-five to iiftv average families, and live like a fight ing cock at that. W ithm 30 years he can buy the posses sions of a thousand families. The alternatives are to pre-1 vent the absorption of the wealth of the country or to take it away after the hogs have got it. Income and inheritance taxes afford the means of getting it back, and old age, widows, and disability pen sions, support for those who actually can not get work be cause of the effects of mass production by machines, and free medicine, as free schools, afford the means of turning it back to those who have been gradually robbed dur ing the years, or to those who would, if properly fed and housed, prove a burden upon the communities. When ev ery family is provided against the disasters of sickness and death, and enforced unem ployment, there will be no need of poor houses, no need of the spending of millions and millions for insurance, and under consumption that ties up the factories and throws men out of employ ment will cease. Stinting is no longer necessary in a world that can make more than enough for everyobdy. Let pensions and hospitals supersede poor houses. A. C. RAY —<s> The death of A. C. Ray grieves thousands. He was a man who grew upon you. The longer you knew him the bet ter you appreciated the of his intelligence and the genuine goodwill of 4iis character. A similar re mark was made by Miss Speight, court stenographer, when she learned of the tragic death of the attorney. Mr. Ray was a native of Moore county. He is a self made man. He was engaged in the saw mill business when he decided to study law. The Tffrst thing his friends knew tie was a full-fledged lawyer, and he has wo* many a case in the court of Chatham county, and in the supreme court" at Raleigh. He also .served as a representative in the legislature and was mayor of Pittsboro for several years. We shall all miss his hale And hearty greetings. AS GOOD FISH IN THE SEA AS EVER CAME OUT OF IT. —# — North Carolina loses two college presidents. Dr Chase, president of the University, ! goes to the University of Illi nois; Dr. Gaines goes from Wake Forest to Washington and Lee University, Virginia. Both are good men, but it is such happenings that open the way for others just as .good, who otherwise would never have a chance to prove their , worth. The poet Cray long ago said that many a flower 1 is born to blush unseen. Here is a chance to pull two hidden geniuses info the open. And there are just as good fish in the sea as ever came out of it, and may be two can be caught that will not break away. The older school men of the State stood by their institutions through thick and through thin. Higher salaries could not seduce them. Po teat, for instance, lacked no opportunities of advancement, if securing a larger salary may be assumed to be an ad vancement. • The North Carolina su preme court has decided that the buyer of liquor is as guilty as the seller. That is sound doctrine, since there would be no selling. without buyers. But it makes it still more difficult •for the man who wants whis- Ikey for medicinal purposes to get it. In other States there is provision for getting pure i whiskey for medicine. There 'is not in North Carolina, and j : yet the average man will try j to get whiskey when his phy- j sic inn says that his wife needs; it. Formerly, getting it only j shut his mouth against the; bootlegger that sold it to him.; Now his mouth is not only sealed for conscience’s sake but in self-defense. There is j nothing that has done more, we believe, to shut out infor- j mation on whiskey selling j than the fact that hundreds and thousands who havej bought for medicinal purposes ; would not later tell on the bootlegger if he had sold ; liquor for beverage purposes right under his nose. North I Carolina needs to make pro vision for the purchase of ? medicinal liquor. Thousands, of course, say that whiskey is not a medicine, but that j has nothing to do with what a man is going to do when his own physician tells him ito get liquor, say, for his sick 'wife. He is going to get it •if he can, and now he be comes a law-violator and sub ject to fine or imprisonment, as well as having his mouth j closed against more serious violations of the law by the bootlegger from whom he pur- ( ; chases it. Besides, it would be *a pity to see all the good : women in the State who have : made wine for medicinal pur poses put in jail. Yet, under | the law, they are as guilty |as the scamp who makes I white lightning down on the j branch for sale, say, to the | students of the University, j Common-sense laws are much i easier enforced than the other i kind. ® — The resignation of Dr. Chase as president of the University has served already to bring out appreciations of certain members of the Uni ; versity faculty, especially of ’ Frank Graham, that are grat ifying to their friends. The following paragraph from an appreciation of Mr. Graham r by Louis Graves in the Chapel L Hill Weekly depicts a char , acter that is an ornament to ' any institution, and since it j was written Mr. Graham has J largely confirmed its truthful • ness by declining to be a can ‘ didate for the presidency, say , ing that he is a teacher and * wishes to remain one and [ Lord knows there are few enough of them, real teach ; ers. Says Mr. Graves: ‘‘l have never known an other so indifferent to his per sonal interests or advancement. He would be content to go on working for the university the rest of his wife without credit ['W or preferment . . . Frank Gra ham embodies a rare combina tion of high intellectual abil ( ity, firm convictions never tainted with interance, and a i , sure facility for winning the confidence and affection and co-operation of all who come in association with him. He is a rock of faithfulness and a flame of inspiration.” Whoever may be Allen Maxwell’s choice for senator, he deserves the applause of every citizen of the State for THE CHATHAM RECORD. PITTSBORO, N. C. putting his foot down upon employees of his department’s assuming the responsibilities of district campaign manage ments. Sprague Silver wa s chosen as Simmons’ manager of the fourth district, but Mr. Maxwell simply made it un derstood that he could take a recess from his duties andi his salary during the cam paign, and Mr. Silver wisely' held on to his job, and the Simmons’ crowd had to hunt elsewhere for a fourth dis trict manager. The governor would also please the people if he would give. his depart ment heads an intimation that the people have elected them to attend to the State’s busi ness and not to the interests of anybody’s campaign. - <§> The Greensboro News para grapher had the following paragraph in his column Sun day, but he must have cred ited the wrong paper with ‘The father of the fight.” We didn’t father that phrase. Says The News: ' That fellow Henderson, ob serves the Chatham Record, “who operates a radio station down in Shreveport, La., might rightfully be called the father of the fight on the chain store ‘menace.’ ” Father of a fight may be sort of unusual, but we don’t see but what it is ail right. We thought maybe we had written “fostered the fight,” but can not find that. Like The News, however, we can j not find so much fault withj the phrase. <?> The Simmons folk are fight-! ing fire with fire. They have miblished Bailey s speeches in favor of Mr. Simmons while he was a regular supporter of the Democratic regime, and we must say our friend Bailey makes the Senator out a big ger man than we have ever conceived him being. Enthu siasm often carries a fellow a long way. Bailey, however, seems to get some mighty good advertising in the Sim mons pamphlet. Certainly his words have been treasured. • Grandfather of Mrs. Fletcher Mann Dead Mr. and Mrs. Fletcher Mann at tended the funeral of the latter’s grandfather, Needham Bryan Out law, at Outlaw’s Bridge, Duplin countv, Sunday. Mr. Outlaw had reached the ripe age of 87. He was long one of the most outstanding and influential men of his section. He died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Jones, at Mt. Tabor. While he 'had been in declining health for sometime, a fail last week was the immediate cause of his death. Seven children survive. These do not include the mother of Mrs. Mann, who is dead. <s> THESE WIN PRIZES The grade mother of the third grade of the Pittsboro school, Mrs. F. C.
