Btitcsed at the post office at North Wllkesboro, M. C.t as second class matter under Act of March A 1S70. THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1933 Opposes Tammany Florello H. LaGuardia has been select ed to 0WK)se Tammany Hall in New York City’s mayoralty contest. The fiery former Congressman is an ideal candidate, but whether he can make inroads upon the deeply entrenched Tammany machine is the question. York Legion Officials The‘local Legion Post, Wilkes county’s patriotic band of World War veterans, has selected^ able officers for the coming year. The new officers are men who can be depended upon to lead the Legionnaires in the same patriotic and progressive man ner that the outgoing officers have done i with such conspicuous success. The local post has demonstrated its right to a place among the leading public service organizations of our county, it has taken a leading part in every move ment for the betterment of our city and county and it deserves the commendation of every citizen. Wilkes veterans have stood for the things which they believed to be best for their county, state and nation. Their rec ord is an enviable one and their patriotic response to the President in the time of a national crisis evokes the highest praise. We congratulate the post upon the'se lection of the new leadership and we con gratulate the new officers upon the honor rergiMon FolKt Look Forward To I Big Camp Meet RevlTid At Ferguson Baptist Church Brought To Oiose On Snnd»r FBR0U80N, Tammany has controlled New City so long that it would be a miracle if ^nd opportunity which have been given the electorate deserted the machine. It could not prevent Judge Seabury from un covering the rottenness in the administra tion’s conduct of the city’s affairs. It could not save Mayor Walker. But with all tiiis, voters are apt to stick by the old gang. There is little likelihood of a change. Tammany supporters in all probability will respond nobly to the call and those who would like to see a shift in the rul ing bodies are apt to be disappointed. t A Scout Pioneer In the truest sense of the word, Hale Jcmes is a pioneer in the Scout movement in North Wilkesboro. True enough, other Boy Scouts can become Eagle Scouts, but no other local boy can be the first Eagle Scout in North Wilkesboro. In the* local teiritory. Hale Jones is to the Scout movement what Lindbergh was to aviation. Others have followed in the path of “Lucky Lindy,” but to him goes the credit for that daring first dash across the Atlantic. Delivering the address at the service Sunday night, T. Marion Dixon told of what one father thought of an Eagle Scout. Said he: “If I had to choose be tween a college education and an Eagle Scout for my boy, I would prefer that he attain the rank of an Eagle Scout.” Perhaps that is glorifying an Eagle Scout too much. Perhaps, it is not. The requirements for an Eagle Scout are strict and it is a fact that much valuable knowledge must be acquired before that rank can be attained. Hale Jones is entitled to the highest praise for his achievement. He has pio neered in a field that needs pioneers. Every boy should have the ambition to follow’ in his footsteps. He has brought honor to himself, .he has brought honor to North Wilkesboro and honor to the Scout movement. The Journal-Patriot joins Scout leaders of the state in congratulating the local boy. This Fruitful Season Summer i.s here and the seeds which were put into the earth in the cold dull days of early spring have come to their harvest time. The sun is shining upon us, and forest and orchard and field are ful filling their promises of plenty. There w’as a planting of another kind, too, in the dreary days of early March, and that planting is coming to its harvest. Our government sowed the seeds of a new prosperity that now is ripening. In this second half of 1933 will come, the harvest to reward the dilig^t reapers. Business fjonditions have already improv ed, and further rapid imiwoveijjent in the immediate future seems certain. Our national public works program will short ly give employment to hundreds of thousands who for a long time have been unwilling wards of private or public char ity. Prices of most raw materials and man ufactured articles have already started on upward trend that is being accelerated buying, and . manufacturers ' ilfcf merchant* are confidently preparing ior the resumption of a trade activity which we have not known in four years. These imprcfved conditions, present and prospective, open the door on a brighter huaih®*® Business men can now go. forth “With new confidence, certain that their energetic, skfllfol efforts will be ? suqeeaaful. Here’s to good fortune through out^ AM remainder of 1938! them. Clay Fogleman Dies Whether one is convinced of the inno- sence of Clay Fogleman, Rockingham county man, as were his attorneys, or whether positive of his guilt, as were the jurors who tried the dhse and others who helped in the prosecution, it is an unques tionable fact that Clay /Fogleman was a bad man. He admitted as much in his statement written an hour before he died in the electric chair. He wrote: “August 4, 9:30 a. m.—One hour before my death. I am going to die for something I didn’t do. They made a mistake and don’t know it. I want to say that I have had a bard time in my life. I got started wrong and I have done many wrong things. I hope my death will cause boys to be careful, and avoid dealing in whiskey and violating the law when they are young. When a person makes a bad name for bimself, people do not be lieve him. That is why I have got to die now.’’ Clay Fogleman offers some splendid advice. Whether innocent or guilty, his record was against him. Whiskey did to him what it had done to thousands— brought about his downfall. The protest that he was innocent at death’s door was disturbing. It left a doubt. Perhaps his death, though he was innocent, will not be in vain if his message is taken to heart by the young men of North Carolina. A-ng. 8.—Many are looking forward to thebig Camp meeting that of the Advent Christian church which will start Aug. 21 and continue over two Sundays. The Camp meeting will be held on the Tonnolossie high way five miles west of Blowing Rock. A large tent mas. neen pro vided for the purpose and camp ing accommodatione will be pro vided for those wishing to attend. Mr. 9. F. Moore and hie eon-in law, Mr. Ohae. Lee Cummings and family,, of Sumpter, S. C.. are visiting Miss Janlt Spicer for two weeks. They were accompan ied by the children of Mr. and Mrs. B. W. Seagars, of Daltell, S. C., grandchildren of Mr. Moore, who Is a prominant farm er and business man of Sumpter county makes a visit to this vi cinity annually and always goes on a mountain trip while here. This year he, in company with Mr. Cnmmlngs and others visited Linville Falls, Banner Elk, Boone and several other places of inter est to the tourist. There is no one in several states that gets i4ny more out of life than does Sam Moore, and it is | probably due to fahe fact that he puts so much into life. He haa the record of stopping in a town where he knows no one and in one-half an ho’ur he will have met and be come wen acquainted with twenty-five to fifty people. He has the most wonderful faculty for making friends of any one of our acquaintances. On Sunday he was present at the Moore reunion at the home of Mrs. Jos. Moore in the Globe, where there were two hundred or more present, of the Moore clan. Mrs. T. R. Snydter in company with Misses Carolyn Helen Lew- ellyn and Donn Ferguson visited Brown Mountain Beach, Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. Ed Steele, Mr. and Mrs. K. A.

Vaccination Dates County Health Officer To Make • Tour Tuesday BRUCE BARTON WRITES SIX GREAT MEN Here is another business principle, seemingly equally impracticable. Remember the words of the Lord Jesus how he said, “It is more blessed to give than to re ceive.” We came perilously near to losing those words. They are not recorded in any one of the four Gospels. Mathew, Mark, Luke and John all for got them. But Paul did not. He who had aban doned a social position and an assured career for the service of the Galilean, he who had given more than any of them, he heard the words and remembered. He understood. Are they empty words? Do they bring destruc tion upon a business which regards them ser iously? Is a man a fool to let them be a guiding influence in his life? I talked one day with H. G. Wells after his Outline of History had appear ed. I said: “You have stood upon a mountain and viewed the whole panorama of human progress. You have seen the captains and the kings, the princes and the prophets, the scientists and the adventur ers, the millionaires and the dreamers—that have lived and loved and struggled their little hour upon the earth. In this vast army what heads rise above the common level? Among all those what half dozen men among them all de serve to be called greet?’’ He turned the question over in his mind for a day or tw’o and then gave me a list of aix names, with his reasons for each. An extraordinary list! Jesue of Nazareth, Buddtfh, Asoka, Aristotle, Roger Bacon, Abraham Linceln. Think of the thousands of emperors who have battled for fame, and fashioned their Immortality into monuments of brick and stone. Yet there is only one emperor, Asoka, on the list; and he la not there because of his victories but because he voluntarily abandoned war, aftw his success, and devoted himself to the betterment of bis mlillons of subjects. Think of the hosts who have struggled for wealth, fretting over figures, de nying their generous instincts, cheating and grasping and worrying. Yet no millionaire is on the list, excepting again Asoka. The tnmnlt and the shouting dies, The captains and the kings depart. And when the historian, looking over the field where they contended for the prlxe, seeks for something which has endured, he finds the mes- ^sage of a teacher, the dream of a selenfeU^t, the vision of a seer. "These six men stood on the corners of History,” said Wells in hte picturesque way. “Events hinged on them. The current of human thought was freer and dearer because they had lltad and werlKd. Theg took little from die world and left K much. T%ey did not get; they gave; and. In the. giving, gained etwosl In- flnence." . - - . - Dr. A. J.
