PaarsoD, Burke county repeal ^^fddcitatte, has received quite a bit of publicity «H>eeaase he offered the two persons who vet oed for him in one “voting: precinct a prize if would come in and let themselves be Jknown. But nary a one has come forward. 'j'^Msybe they haven’t time or perhaps they don’t care to announce themselves and thus t "be conspicuous in the neighboriiood. ^ Only one precinct in the state, so far as . we know, gave unanimous assent to either ' eMise. That was Laurel township in Ashe i county which voted about 135 for the dry : ■ ddegate and gave a goose egg to the repeal movement. The Fanner And His Debts ^ So much has been printed about the farm- cr’e debts and the picture of farm distress has been painted in such gloomy colors a sur- ▼ey of the debt situation recently published by the Twentieth Century Fund is of special interest. Fully sixty percent of all farms are en- entirely free from mortgages, this survey re- Xiorts. Of the remainder, those which are mortgaged, sixty per cent are in the closely- grouped states north of the Ohio river and east of the Missouri. And of those, only about a quarter of the debtors are in anything that be called distress, or in danger of losing their homes through foreclosure.* There are 6,600,000 farms in the United States. About 3,000,000 are mortgaged for a quarter of their value. Only about 750,000 farmers are in acute distress, and their total debt is less than one percent of the total in ternal debts of the people of the United , States. No one is attempting to minimize the hard ships suffered by the farmer during the per iod of economic distress. On the other hand our rural people are to be commended for the sacrifices they have made to keep free of debt. They have spent what they had more wisely than most of the urban residents and will in far better shape when the gloom of hard times has been expelled. Thanksgiving Day Thanksgiving Day, with its turkey din ners, motor trips and hunting parties, will soon be here. But as we enjoy the festivities of the occasion, it is appropriate that we think of this day a.s the Plymouth colony thought of it. The account, as set down by William Bradford, governor of the Plymouth plantation, in 1623 with the spelling and punctuation the same as he wrote it in his journal, follows; “Notwithstand all their great paines & in- dustrie, and ye great hops of large cropp, the Lord seemed to blast, & take away the «ame, and to threaten further & more sore famine unto them, by a great drought which continued from ye 3. weeke in May, till about ye midle of July, without any raine, and with great heat (for ye most parte), inso much as ye come begane to wither away, though it was set with fishe, the moysture whereof helped it much. Yet at length it be gane to languish sore, and some of ye drier grounds were partch^ like wither^ hay, part whereof was never recovered. Upon which they set a parte a solemne day of hu miliation, to seek ye Lord by humble & fer vent prayer, in this great distress. And he was pleased to give them a gracious & speedy ^ mnjfwer, both to their owne & the Indeans ad- ♦ . miration, that lived amongest them. For all ye morning, and greatest part of the day, it was dear weather & very hotte, and not a cloud or any signe of raine to be seen, yet toward evening it began to overcast, and shortly after to raine, with shuch sweete and gentle showers, as gave them cause of re- joyceing, & blessing God. It came, without either wind, or thunder, or any violence, and by degrees in yt abundance, as that ye earth was thorowly wete and soked therewith. Which did so apparently revive & quicken ye decayed come & other fruits, as was wonder- full to see, and made ye Inmans astonished to behold: and afterwards the Lord sent them such seasonable showers, with enter- > diange of faire warme weather, as through " his blessing, caused a fruitfull & liberall ^ harvest, to their no small comfort and re- jqrcmg. For which mercie (in time conven- iente) they^also sett aparte a day of thanks- ^ giving.” We should do more than keep the form of I^Phanksgiving. We should also keep the “ of our Pilgrim fathers, remembering that while this ia not the most prosperous of years, we still have many things for which ^ jee can thankful Those who are incliiiW td||hi9 itelief that the government’s efforts to work jout codes of fair competition for the various indus tries is leading the cuntry in the direction of socialism should pause cmaider the case of the insurance companies, . In a recent address, George S. Van Sd^ik, superintendent of insurance in the state of New York, said! “Oae of the reasons that the President’s program for industrial recovery has rOOQiVhd such wonderful support from insniranoe men generally is that the program is founded on ideas and principles which have grown rap idly in insurance administration during the past decade. The necessity of high standards of practice, the elimination of unfair com petition, the recognitiem of the desirability of cooperative action, all so vital to the Na tional Recovery Program, have characterized much of the unquestionable advance insur ance as an institution has hitherto been mak ing.” Insurance is n(r longer the haphazard sort of protection it was when price cutting and non-standard practices were in vogue. In other words, codes of fair competition saved the insurance companies from bankruptcy and disrepute. Co-operation with the President in putting into effect codes of fair comi>etition will re sult in a new standard of business ethics in America. And it will be a change for the bet ter. It is a wiser policy to let quality of work, salesmanship and service determine the vol ume of business a firm receives and in this way keep men at work at a fair wage than it is to let a cut-price program destroy the buying power of the working man. A Great Squad The name of Duke University’s “Blue Devils” is spoken wherever football is known as a result of the victorious march of the Wade-coached eleven through the current season. While great teams like Michigan, Oregon, Southern California, Georgia, Par- due and others were being either tied or de feated, Duke has come through in every con test. Duke might have the brainiest faculty in the country and the fact would never be learned by the average man. But Duke’s string of football triumphs has added pres tige to the North Carolina institution and the Blue Devils are in the race for the Rose Bowl invitation. The schedule alone would hardly take the Duke eleven to Pasadena, but the name and fame of Wallace Wade may turn the trick. His Alabama teams gave sound thrashings to Pacific coast elevens on two occasions and came away with a draw the other time they journeyed west. And while the Blue Devils may not be the greatest football aggregation in the country, it is not improbable that it is among the best. Certainly Duke has a great team and they have earned the praise that has been accorded" them. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN Route 2 RON»A. ,R«nte Mn.

Though inferior to Athens in in tellectual attainment, it was its equal in art, and its superior in commerce and wea'th. But its superb architecture formed a screen behind which vice and corruption flourished. The worship of Venus, for exa’nple, was carried on with gross immorality. Into this pleasure-seeking community Paul came after his discouraging reception in Athens. Here he made his home with Aquilo and Priscilla, tent-mak ers like himself, and taught in the synagogue every Sabbath.

The meeting find interesting reminders of his impressions of the yesterday. This reporter city. For instance, he doubtless visited the stadium. 'There he witnessed a running race, watched the placing of a garland upon the brow of the winner, and enjoyed a boxing match. (1 Cor. 9:24-27). Fur thermore, he noticed the long hair of effeminate fops. (1 Cor. 11:14.) But more important than these indications of varied contacts in this crowded city is the kind of gospel Paul preached. At Athens he had catered to honor of their daughters. Misses his audience by an excursion into the philosophy of Mae and Lizzie, who were home religion, and a quotation fron, the Greek poets. But j Dl^ln failed to get number ot conver sions and the number of candi dates baptised. Miss Marie Sparks spent Sat urday night with her friend. Miss Bretta Morrison. Mr. and Mrs J. C.

(Acts 18:9, 10.) For many months the apostle labored in Corinth. Unbelieving Jews stirred up a furious mob against him, but the proconsul Gallio was sensible enough to dismiss the case. When Paul left Corinth, a com paratively strong church had been established. In Arabia, to contribute $5 to the community chest gives one the title of patriot; 37.60 ranks one as an active patriot; |10 honors him as a great patriot; and 320 makes him a super-patriot.
