PAGE TWO CHATHAM RECORD O. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year $1.50 Six Months .75 THURSDAY, MAY 1, 1930. Colon Williams is distressed because they cannot find a Simmons man in Oakland township. He fears that if the township goes unanimous ly for Bailey they will be ac cused of cheating. Here’s hoping winter has at last bade us final adieu. The wood bills have grown monot onous and fearsome. With water at 55 degrees flowing by automatic pump * direct from the well, the iceman will have to look elsewhere for his living. He should do well with the woodmen, for they should have money. Senators opposing the con tinuation of Judge Parker haven’t said it, but one can imagine them thinking that any man willing to take an oath as a justice of the su preme court after having ac quiesced in the nullification of a clause of the United States constitution lacks sufficient in tellectual and moral integrity for the position. It is not the form of words that count, but the acquiescence in the virtual nullification of an amendment to the constitution. Os course, that thought is far-reaching and would disqualify almost any man in the South. But there you are! $ If, as Judge Sinclair makes the impression, he has quit drinking and the only recent drinking he has done was for medicinal purposes, it is very gratifying. On the other hand, if it should later be demon strated that he has under taken to make the wrong im pression, he is a ruined man. The public can better excuse his drinking than it could a lack of candor, to give the making of a false impression its most euphemistic charac terization. If he has quit, he should remain on the bench for many years, for he is strong as a judge. If he hasn’t, as suggested above, it is only a matter of time when he will be done. —1 v There seems little reason for the closing of the Monroe banks. The closings seem due more to a panic than to any thing else. Even the United States treasury could proba bly be closed in short order if every one who has a gold certificate should demand gold instanter. It should be well known that a bank does not keep all the funds it has re ceived in the vaults. If so, there would be no business. It is equally evident that all depositors could not receive their money on immediate de mand and that in a panic only part of the people can get "their deposits, and that a run inevitably means that the bank is closed and business hurt, and the most of the de positors are left without their money. The few, for the sake of their own selfish interests, hurt all. Nearly all evils are traceable to selfishness. <s> Credible evidence indicates that our informant about the boozing in an unnamed busi ness place here one night re cently was in error. While it is admitted that the fellows were rollicking and that the informant did find a little dif ficulty in finding some one to get him a cocoa-cola, a can vass of those present indicates that only one had had any thing to drink that evening and that had been several hours before. That is better than we were led to think. However we still think Pitts boro needs night police serv ice worse than day-tirfie serv ice. It is not once in a blue moon that anything happens in the old town in the day time needing the attention of a policeman, while robbery after robbery has occurred during the night. As it is the excellent lighting of the town is an accommodation to thieves after midnight instead If it should prove as ex pensive to aid all agricul tralists as it has become to help the few sugar beet and I cane growers in the United 1 States, adequate aid is out of the question. It is estimated that the increased tariff on sugar will cost the people of North Carolina alone two mil lion dollars a year! It is prob ' able that this writer will never !be convinced that it is not good sense to buy where things can be produced at least cost, and to pay for those things with what we can produce cheaper than the sellers of the articles we buy. Every Southern farmer must pay more for his sugar and at the same time reduce the purchasing power of the for eign sugar growers, who need our cotton goods. But if the beet growers are to receive this aid, it is only fair that the cotton grower receive a similar benefit through some such means as the debenture scheme, or an outright bonus. The Republicans seem not to be at all excited about their senatorial primary. It is so unusual for them to have a chance to express their choice for state candidates that they seem not to have awakened to the privilege they now have. Candidates galore are asking their votes. Rev. Tip Dorsett, a native of Chatham, is really the cause of the primary, he having de clared his intention to run or bust the Republican ring. But ler followed. Pritchard from the west came into the con test, and now Tucker of Co lumbus, recently district at torney, has thrown his hat into the ring. The odds, as little as eastern Republicans or friends of the eastern can didates, may like it, are in favor of Pritchard, as the western part of the state has the majority of the Republi can vote, and western Repub licans seem to grudge every thing the eastern bunch gets, which is practically only what the west couldn’t get in the way of appointments for the two eastern districts. As be fore said, we hope our Re publican friends in the county will give our Sampson friend, Major George Butler, their votes. Butler was actually a major in the Spanish-Ameri can war. He has never held any office that paid expenses. He has served as state senator a time or two, and that is all. Hurrah for the B’s—Bailey and Butler. Both are in their intellectual prime—also near ly the same age. The Record predicted that the Simmons exponents were overreaching themselves and would create resentment in classing all Smith supporters of two years ago as wets, and statements right in this office within a few hours of the time this was written indicate that *ur prediction is proving a true one. A gentleman from Durham said that Bailey would carry Durham by a big vote, that all the Simmons propaganda were developing into boomerangs. Another ! from Bynum stated that he i had heard possibly more than ■ a score say that they had * changed from Simmons to ! Bailey. Also Mr. R. F. Rice, -of the western part of the ! county, says Bailey has a strong lead in his section. ; These are statements heard 5 within an hour. But, of course, i it has long been seen that - Chatham as a whole is a - Bailey stronghold. The news * from Durham is real news, j and its author is one who ; comes into contact with many -folk. > The Londons of Pittsboro ■ reached the front page gen * erally the past week. Mrs. - Henry A. London presented r the Virginia Dare painting to l the Library Commission at * Raleigh; Dr. Arthur London ■ came down from Philadelphia - ! and met his bride-elect from - i Savannah here, where they * | were married Saturday after- J;noon. Capt. John J. London, son of Mrs. Henry A. and [ a cousin of Dr. Arthur, was -1 married the same afternoon r in Los Angeles, Calif., and Sunday’s News and Observer 5 bore a long article based upon ! the diary of the late Major > Henry A. London’s University i days in thukc fcties; written by THE CHATHAM MgfirtttP. PITTSBORO, N- & In a personal letter, dis cussing the possibility of put ting moral stamina into the youth of this generation, Cap tain S. A. Ashe, now nearer ninety, tells of the attention given to moral instruction dur ing his school, days, and in sists that the present-day schools should . emphasize “duty.” He is right. OUGHT should be one of the biggest words in every school. A boy or girl is on safe grounds when the word “ought” be comes of more compelling moment than “want to.” The youth who establishes no in hibitions is a goner; likewise, he that fails to be driven to tasks by a sense of duty. The fellow that does only what he “wants to” is little more than an animal. The chief differ ence is that he can frequently have his way when an animal would be hedged in by a fence or held in restraint by a chain. Yet one of the dicta of modern padagogy is “self expression.” That psychologist of unspeakable name and equally unspeakable rot about repressions, or suppressions, of natural instincts, is running just counter to old-time prac tice. The establishment of in hibitions is the task of pa rent, teacher and child, and a foolish one is better for the child than none, since he that has learned to conquer im pulses in the one case is pre pared to battle within them in others. Also, he who has learned to put tedious hours on a study in which he is not naturally interested, has de veloped a tenacity of purpose and a persistence that will stand him well in hand in days to come. It is hard for a trifler in school to become an achiever and of school, though we can readily con ceive of the school’s becom ing the author of a disgust that makes him a trifler. In that case, the sooner out of school the better. i ® CAMPAIGN LITERATURE (From Hamlet News-Messenger) Matter that is printed in a newspaper may be crudely di vided, with respect to the news p a p e r’s responsibility therefor, into three general classes. First, there is the edi torial; an expression of the newspaper’s own opinion, and for which.the paper is wholly and absolutely responsible. Second, there is the regular news story; a running ac count of current happenings, qualified by numerous “it is saids,” and similar expres sions, and for which the paper assumes no responsibility ex cept for the accuracy of the report. Third, is the Open Forum letter or the paid ad vertisement, matter handled in the regular course of busi ness or byway of courtesy to a reader, and bearing on its face credit to the writer or advertiser; for this class the newspaper neither as sumes nor incurs any responsi bility at all unless the matter be per »e libelous, and in that case responsibility is second ary, as of a distributing med ium. These three general di visions of newspaper articles go through discussion of ev ery possible subject, but per haps the distinction is more important in a political cam paign year and respecting the political candidates. A case in point came to our attention a few days ago. Up in the fifth congressional district a hot race is on be-, tween three or four good men for the Democratic nomina tion. Friends of one of the candidates paid for advertis ing space in the Greensboro Daily News, and in that ad vertisement set forth certain qualifications of their man. A few days later other friends issued a circular quoting some of those statements and add ing that they “appeared in the Greensboro Daily News.” That is obviously unjust to the newspaper and unfair to the other candidates. Several weeks ago The News - Messenger reproduced an editorial from an exchange expressing an opinion in which we did not concur, but be cause the discussion was il luminating and because we strive to give both sidse of controversial questions, we printed that article with due credit for its origin. Several (CAROLINIANS—Know Your State! (fi) COPYRIGHT 1930 BY BOYCE & RANKIN j CAMPUS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA, CHAPEL HILL P)UNDED in I 789, this is the oldest £t*te University in America. The original State Constitution provided for the maintenance of a State University. In 1789 a bill was passed in the Legislature providing for its support, appointing forty trus * tees for its management. The present site of Chapel Hill was chosen in 1792. ln< February 1795 the first building was opened, with a faculty of three professors. Forty-one students enrolled the first year. Today, the University has over 200 faculty members and an enrollment of about 2,b00 students. whom we met on the street when we had so completely changed our position; each one of them stated that he had read “our” article on that subject. This is obviously unfair both to the originating newspaper and to the one re producing the article. During the period of a po litical campaign hundreds of folks feel the irresistible urge to write a piece for the paper for or against some candidate. Newspapers handle just as much of this matter as they possibly can in justice to all parties, and many times the papers have to explain later that they did not endorse the | sentiments contained in the article. Incidentally, this is one of the reasons that no reputable newspaper will pub lish any communication not accompanied by the rightful name and address of the writer. <s> *************** * * *Brown’s Chapel News’' * 3|t *************** The opening exercises of our Sunday school were led by Miss Pearl Dark.
