PAGE FOUR CHATHAM RECORD o. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year S l - 50 Six Months THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1030 Bible Thought and Fraycr { THE GOLDEN RULE—As ye j I* would that men should do to you. j do ye also to them. —Luke 6:31. PRAYER— Lord, help us to make j i Thee the standard of our life, and I 1 then we ever will love aright and j 4 serve aright everyone else. We desire to call the atten tion of readers to the article on the front page under the caption, “Paying Teachers Up on a Production Basis.” If some teachers were paid upon that basis and charged up with spoiled material, they would not only draw no sal ary at all, but would be found in debt to the school board. Everybody else receives an in come upon the basis of ef ficiency; the North Carolina teacher upon the basis of units of preparation plus experience, regardless of whether that ex perience indicates a real apti tude for teaching, and regard less of whether the years of preparation were, based upon a natural talent for the pro fession. The present scheme is unjust to everybody con cerned. The writer, for in stance, would guarantee to get three times the results from a Latin class as the ordi nary Latin teacher is getting, yet if he should seek a in a North Carolina high school to Latin he would iiave to be satisfied with the same salary that the average fjittn teacher gets for mur dering the child’s potential in terest'in- the language. The same is true of many teachers English, of mathematics, «tc., but who discovers who is •really getting results when the superintendents know scarce ly half the subjects taught in their schools? e Elsewhere in the paper is Tound an article on poisoning the boll weevil, but there is nothing like citing definite cases. And here is one that should reach the intelligence of every cotton grower in the county. Mr. J. A. Johnson of Hickory Mountain township had seven acres in a field last; year. He dusted three acres of the cotton four times. Those three acres, despite un favorable seasons, made 400 pounds of lint to the acre. The other four acres in the same field made only 200 pounds of lint to the acre, or just half the yield of the dust ed acreage. Mr. Johnson states definitely that he made s3l profit per acre by dusting at the price the cotton was sold at. His machine cost $12.50, and it puts the dust on two •rows at a time. Os course, if this should be a dry year, the profit from dusting will not be so great, but clearly it will uot pay a man to risk losing i tiis crop or even a small part j it through failure to poison, j If you actually cannot buy the dusting machine, you can use the molasses mixture, simply cheap molasses with calcium arsenate in it, mopped on the small cotton in order to kill the mother weevils. The writer bas seen the mop fastened to the plow and merely dragging across the cotton as the cotton Is sided. Chatham, as a whole, has a fair start this year, and if the farmers will make a real yield on their acreages of corn and cotton, times should change much for the better. Poison for the cotton and nitrate dressing for the cotton right away and for the corn when it is knee high will mean, probably, that a farmer will not have tended a field just for the sako of being busy. —<s> Pete Dowdy, here Monday, with Hoover “prosperity” m mind, remarked that when the first little Hoover bills came out they looked mighty little, but that they now begin to look as big as bed quilts. That brings the Hoover dollar bill on a par with the silver dollars of the Harrison-Cleve land-McKinly period, which are generally thought cf as being as big as care wheels. DO THEY THREATEN? o Why do the Simmons ad vocates assert that the nomi nation of Bailey would divide the Democratic party? Is this not a covert threat + hat the supporters of Senator Simmons will leave the party if they do not have their wav? What else can it mean? And if it means that, as it must, isn t it laughable to consider their effrontery? The tail threatens the dog that it will secede unless the dog allows itself to be wagged by it. But they sav the defeat of Simmons would be a rebuke to the Democrats who voted for Hoover, and the equivalent of reading them out of the nartv. But what an excuse! Because a candidate is beaten, his partisans are read out ot the party! Why the writer seems to recall that he was defeated once or twice, and doubtless by the help of Sen ator Simmons, but he has never once considered his de feat as an invitation to desert >the party. Now, we grant you if Senator Simmons has a life-estate in the senatorship, defeating him might mean something like that. On the contrary, we conceive Mr. Simmons as having no more title to the next term than j anvbodv else, and his defeat will simply mean that the majority of the Democratic voters of the state have exer cised their inherent preroga tive to give what belongs to them to whomsoever they choose. Isn’t it impudence, and the height of it, then, for the sen ator and his partisans to threaten to revolt if the Dem ocrats of the state exercise that right? Will they not suffer majority rule? If they will not, they are not really Democrats and fche sooner they; find their proper align ment, the better for the party. But if they are Democrats, as we believe the majority of them are, and will acquiesce in the decision of the major ity, it is certain that no Bailey supporter desires to see them leave the party. In fact, that is the difference between the treatment rendered Mr. Sim mons for his default and that rendered by the Senator to the Alliance Democrats of 1892. In 1892, the Senator as chairman of the state execu tive committee did not even wait for the Alliance Demo crats to offend by voting for Cleveland, but upon the mere threat of it, he hurled a papal bull to the effect that they were already out of the party till they swore to support Cleveland. Now,, this is his tory and not fiction, and it is a fact that Simmons and his committee drove, say, 50,000 North Carolina yoemen from the Democratic party, which injustice meant the organiza tion of the Populist party and, joined with the bitter denun ciation of the seceders during the campaign, prepared them for fusion with the Republi cans. The fifty thousand men ! driven out have now multi j plied to -nearly 200,000 voters, counting sons and daughters, and surviving words. In other words, Mr. Simmons created tire Republican party as a go ing institution in North Caro lina, and then when it had become strong through his in justice, he joins with it in 1928 and helps to give the electoral vote of North Caro lina to Hoover and to stand patism. For 38 years Marion Butler and his seceding followers have been cursed by Simmons and his henchmen for leaving the party when they had al ready been kicked out the door. And now when Sim mons and his Hooverite saints have helped foist the -tribula tions of this rotten administra tion upon the country, the true Democrats do not even threat en to read them- out of the party. They are welcomed] back, though given to under stand that the welcome does not imply a quit title to> the control of party. The,> may have their voice along ■ with the rest of us, but the * loyal Democrats of 1928 are • ’ not fools enough to lie down -land submit themselves to be l ! trampled upon by the return s Ho- prodigals. We loyals have no- even killed a fatted calf, THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. but the prodigals are welcome to the common fare. They are only forbidden to hog the whole table. But he who has browbeaten the secedents of 1892 for nearly forty years, feels it an impiety for the loyal Demo crats of 1928 to even think of denying him to continue at the head of the table, control ling the distribution of the pabulum to his minions as in years ago. It is sacrilege to hint at his disposition! And if he is disposed, lo his fol lowers will secede from the party! No; there is no danger of splitting the party by the nomination of Bailey unless theSimmonsites prove traitors. It is a fair fight. Nothing in dicates greater generosity as compared with the cited be havior of Senator Simmons 38 years ago, and many years following, than that he should even be allowed to be a candi date. But nobody has object ed, arid so far as this writer is concerned, if the majority of the long-time Democrats nominate him, we shall sub mit as gracefully as we can to the will of the majority. And this, though the writer’s own father, after voting the Democratic ticket fifty years, was read out of the party by Mr. Simmons for not half the reason that the loyal Demo crats of 1928 would have had for forbidding Simmons to be a candidate to succeed him self. That father had merely indicated that he would vote for Weaver, who stood for what he wanted and what the majority of the Democrats of the South and the West want ed. Out lie went". Simmons helped give the electoral vote of the state to a party that stands for everything the Democrats of the state do not want. And he wants to domi nate the party and return to the senate for the sixth term! Men, do you imagine how we feel as we draw this contrast! Yet the biggest Republican in the state may participate in the primary if he professes to be a Democrat now, and as the present state and not the former should govern a living party, w T e offer to sub mit gracefully to the will of the majority, including the disloyalists. If we can do so. should anv sensible Hoov erite, allowed by the grace of the party to participate as of old, threaten that he will secede if his little god Sim mons should not be nominat ed? Shame upon any one that does make such a threat, open, covert, or implied! <s> Mr. G. L. Nisbet, who for some years has done the edi torial work on .the sprightly Hamlet News-Messenger, has resigned his position down at Hamlet and has joined forces with Stacey Brewer, who won considerable distinction as the publisher of the Vass Pilot, and, backed by some Raleigh business men, has bought the Apex paper, moved it to Fu quay Springs, and wjfch his partner has set about to make a first-rate country paper, for southwestern Wake. They are both excellent newspaper men and we shall look for the Courier-Journal with expecta tion of seeing something fine i# both mechanical make-up arid contents. Also we shall read the editorial columns ot The News-Messenger with in terest to see how J. Neal Ga dieu is producing as editorial writer. , <§> Connie Mack says: “Old Man Booze has put more men out of the game of baseball than all the umpires in the worJd put together.” Yea, Verily; Old Man Booze is the greatest putter in and putter out on record. He frequently puts a fellow out of a job and | into jail; out of the road and into the ditch; the family out of house and home and into the streets; the drinker out of his mind and into the insane asylum. O he is a putter all right. Some folk, i: is certain, are going to be surprised next Saturday night, and we have a suspicion as to who they are. f CAROLINIANS—Know Your State! ift 1 y COPYRICHT 1930 BY BOYCE A RANKIN NEgEr MORGANTON COURTHOUSE, WHERE JOHN SEVIER ESCAPED TRIAL IN 1764 the Legislature gave Congress 29,000,000 acres of land between the Alleghany Mountains and * the Mississippi River to help pay the Revolutionary- War debts. This included the Wautauga settlement in what is now Tennessee. The ! settlers being dissatisfied with this arrangement talked of forming a new state. A few months later the Legislature withdrew its gift and again took charge of the land, John Sevier was appointed to commancDa brigade of soldiers to enforce the law. Nevertheless, these settlers set up a new state which they called Franklin, with John Sevier as Governor. The new state lasted only three years. Colonel Sevier was arrested on charges of treason against North Carolina and was taken to Morgan ton for trial. By the aid of his two sons and friends, he escaped from the Court house and fled on horseback over the mountains. Later, although not pardoned, he was elected a member of the North Carolina Legislature and was allowed to take his seat because of his bravery as a Revolutionary soldier. In 1790 North Carolina deeded the w-stern lands to the United States Govern ment and in i 796 the State of Tennessee was formed with John Sevier as its first Governor. 6-1-30 % fcrroai i CABINEfig' <(& 1929.
