Children and Schools
So often we have seen parents breath
a sigh of relief when their children en
ter schools and many of them tell how
glad they are to get their children in
the hands of the teachers for eight
months.
It is a mistaken idea that teachers
can take the children and do them jus
tice without the help and cooperation
of parents. There are many things that
the parents should teach their children
that are completely out of the teachers’
line of work.
Children, above everything else,
should be taught by the parents to ob
serve the Golden Rule; they should be
taught thrift and economy; they should
know the value of money; they should
know the more simple rules of sanita
tion; they should be taught good man
ners toward people and especially oth
er children.
It may* be best to leave ordinaiy in
struction' in reading and writing to the
school but what parents do not have a
sense of pride in their children if they
are able to read at the age of .«ix?
Between the ages of four and ten the
character of a child begins to form and
take root. Impressions received then
can never be erased and how important
it is that parents, as well as teachers,
should take an active interest in the
child’s education.
The Lindbergh Case
After years have elapsed it appean
that the baffling mystery of the kid
naping of Col. and Mrs. Charles A.
Lindbergh’s child will be .solved.
There could be no greater boost for
law enforcement and the Biblical truth
that “The wages of sin is death” than
to bring the guilty parties of this grue
some crime to justice.
The kidnaping and cold blooded
murder of the Lindbergh child has been
held up as “the perfect crime” during
the pa.st several months. One man with
a part of the ransom money has been
arrested and probably before this gets
into print there will be other disclos
ures that will definitely solve the mas
ter crime.
Because of the immense popularity
of the child’s parents people felt that
the child belonged to America and the
entire nation has been waiting and hop
ing that the crime would be solved and
that the guilty would be punished.
Solving the mysterj^ surrounding the
child's kidnaping and death will have
r tremendous moral effect. Kidnaping
' the Lindbergh child was the real be-
j irnfng of tho “snatch racket” that has
'nto such alarming porportions
imUi .-.J child L- .cafe if gangsters think
its parents have enough funds or can
get enough m.oney to pay a big ransom
price. The number of kidnaping cases
which have appeared in public print
are startling but we know nothing of
how many cases of kidnaping have
been settled without publicity nor how
many extortion demands have been sec
retly met.
Gangsters had the idea that if the
kidnapers of the Lindbergh child could
get away with such a crime that it
would be an easy matter to get by with
kidnaping a child of some industry
iMignate whom the people cared little
'"^MUt.
Now they know that the master
crime will be solved and that the com
bined forces of the nation, states and
^counties are cooperating to run kidnap-
to oblivion.^
Obviously, the leftist iture as well as the consti
tution i^eeds to be revised.—Greensboro Daily

Nothing New Under the^Sun
llie world has been going through a
serious economic crisis for several yenrs
now, and to, the uninformed and ignor
ant it seems^-as if nothing of the sort
could ever have happened before. On
all sides we hear talk of" “an end of
civilization,” of the decay of morals
and honestyr of all sorts of dire things
which are happening or going to hap
pen to the human race.
"Honesty is no longer to be found in
the market-place, nor justice in the
law courts, nor good craftsmanship in
art, nor discipline in morals.’'
Common complaints, those, are they
not? Well, the man who wrote that has
been dead for nearly seventeen hun
dred years. He was Saint Cyprian of
Carthage, one of the early Christian
martyrs, who despaired of the world in
325 A. D.! The world was dying, Cy
prian believed. He found ample signs
of it. There was not enough rain to
nourish the seeds, not enough sun to
, ripen the harvest. Agriculture was in
a bad way.
There is a parallel in history for
everything of which we complain to
day. Nothing is truer than the ancient
saying that “history repeats itself.” If
the world had not come through crisis
after which seemed, at the time, as
serious as the one we are now passing
through, there might be no hope for
the future. The only ones who are
hopeless are .those who do not realize
that the same identical things have
happened to the human race from time
immemorial—:and we got over them.
In St. Cyprian’s day “the purchasing
power of the community was shrink
ing.” Prices were going up and money
values down. Tax collectors were rob
bing the rich of the remnants of their
wealth. Altogether the world was in a
bad way. But, it seems to cheer us up
to discover that, somehow, mankind got
over that and all its other previous
catastrophes.

Thank You, General
The presence of a company of United
States troops here for the fair was
something new for this section because
this was the first time in the remem-
berance of the present generation that
a part of our great army has set foot on
Wilkes County soil.
It was regrettable that a controversy
arose which prohibited the military
band from .spending a few days with us
here but we have the fair association
and General Manus McCIoskey, com
manding officer at Fort Bragg, to thank
for the presence of the soldiers.
The soldiers conducted themselves in
a manly manner without any disorder
whatsoever, which speaks well for a
company of sixty men attending a gala
event such as the fair proved to be.
Sunday School Lesson
By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN
GOD I\ HKBREW HISTORY
Lesson for September 30th.
Hebrews 11:32-40. Golden Text: Psalm 145:
13,
This is a review lesson when we rehearse
the warnings and ideals taught by the kings
and prophets with whom we have companion
ed this third quarter. The lesson text is taken
from that magnificent chapter in the letter
to the Hebrews upon the heroes of the faith.
Now we have come very close these three
months to certain figures of high stature in
the company of God’s chosen. Amongst the
kings we have met Asa and Hezeklah. And of
the school of the prophets Elijah, Elisha,
.^mos, Hosea, and Isaiah have shared their
courage and high insight with us. As we think
of these noble figures shining so brightly in
the pages of the Good Book we are at once
reminded that they were selected and trained
by God Himself to accomplish their significant
work. The God of the Bible does not preside
over a society on a dead level of equality, but
He chooses certain of His children to occupy
a high place of influence above their fellows.
The technical name for this doctrine is pre-
destinaiion, a word very dear to the heart of
John Calvin, “the guide of republics,” as Ban
croft, the historian, called him. It has won-
derf’.illy advanced the cause- of civil liberty,
because it has produced a succession of lead
ers who haVe felt responsible to God alone,
and so have not hesitated to defy men in high
position. The prophets we have just studied
were certainly men of this stalwart type. And
down through the ages God has given to man
kind worthy successors. Take so stout a cham
pion of freedom as John Knox of whom Queen
Elizabeth’s ambassador said: “The voice of
this single man can put more heart in us than
five hundred trumpets.”
But we must not forget that God has chos
en you and me. We are of the elect. We are
privileged folk ordained for the great task -of
completing what Amos and the ether Bible
prophets began long ago. As the close of our
lesson text says, God “would not have them
perfected apart from us." ''

I was glad to read the dis
patches announcing that m,f old
Iriend, Coiumander Evangeline
Booth, had been elected Genert.1
of the Salvation Army of the
world, the post which her fam-
0 u 8 lather. General William
Booth, created and held^nntll hte
death. ... ' j.-
II I were called upon to name
the one American woman—for
Miss Booth has spent most of her
life in America—who fiaa accom
plished the most for the relief of
misery and distress among • the
poor and helpless, I would un
hesitatingly give the award to
her. ^ • '
I do not know how the Salva
tion Army stands in the estima
tion of people of other la6di|, hut
1 feel confident that here in the
United States it commands re
spect and support such as no
other Instrumentality, 'for the
common good has ever achieved.
Critical theologians may not ap
prove Its doctrines—I don’t ev^
know what they are—and formal
ritualists may frown upon Its
methods; but i think there Is
pretty nearly unanimous agree
ment that the Army reaches
down and lifts up more of the
submerged and hopeless than all
the churches.
BARGAINS ..... In property
People with ready cash—and
there are still a lot of them—
are hunting bargains these days.
And a good many of them, to my
knowledge, are putting their
money into land and buildings,
confident that the rise from the
present low prices will not be
long delayed.
One 300-acre dairy farm, well
stocked with ample buildings in
good repair, which Its owner
held at $25,000 only five years
ago, was sold the other day in
my neighborhood for $7,000. The
buyer layed down ready cash. I
know of five other farm proper
ties that have changed hands for
cash near my home in the past
month, at figures from half to a
third what they were held at
lately; and one great estate a
few miles from me. In which
more than a quarter of a million
had been Invested, went for $25,-
000 because the owners had to
have cash.
Money will buy better bar
gains today than at any time in
the past twenty years.
I’KirKS today
There is a good deal of non
sense being talked about com
modity prices. Foodstuffs are go
ing up rapidly; no question
about that. But that Is not true
in the case of manufactured
goods.
The automobile code fixes a
definite “trade-in” price o n
every used car. I thought of trad
ing in a 1929 Ford against cred
it for a new car next Spring, and
the wile and hay otJte' folk*’
ca^offs. \
"^My.^wlfe tCTds. the’ladiee* hat
counter at’ them' mfflmage sales.
This year she l»d ta dispose of
a great quantity of fine hate
bearing -labels et fashionable
New York, Newport, Boston and
even Paris shops, discarded by
tvomen of the wealthy families In
the county. Bpt, she told me,-
among the buyers of these hats,
at from 26 cents ’down, were
women whose husbands have al
ways been accounted wealthy, or
at least well off. They were frank
to admit that tliey. Ilk® every
body else, had to economize.
INVESTMENTS ..... a search
One of my neighbors recently
came Into a good many thous
ands In cash, th^ proceeds of bis
father’s lit® insurance. He asked
several bueiness friends. Includ
ing two _ bankers, to suggest
sound, safe, investments. >■ i
Every one he asked threw up
his hands. My friend had no use
for another home or any more
laud, and he did not want to
take a speculaMve chance with
the money. Finally he decided to
buy a Joint annuity for himself
and wife—they are both close to
sixty—payable as long as either
of them lives. He found he could
get $3,500 and more a year for
•his fifty thousand dollars, or
better than 7 per cent on the
capital.
That, he decided and his bank
er agreed, was about as close to
security as anyone can get these
days.
Begin Probe Of Slaying
Of Seven at Honea Path
approached the local dealer. “I
can only allow you $90 In trade,"
he said, “but I have cash buyers
looking for used cars like yours,
and if you tell me to sell it for
your account I can get you $150
nr more.”
I had a furnace concern go
over my old farmhouse, which
has relied on stoves and fire
places for 150 years. They esti
mated $950 for a heating plant.
I told them to go farther. Next
week they were back with an of
fer to install the plant for S450.
I dickered with them a while
and the price came down to
$375, with $25 off that for cash!
Anderson, S. C., Sept. 24.—
Henry Hawkins, Belton mill
worker,, testified he saw a Honea
Path policeman shoot a striker
in the back three times during
the blaze of gunfire which took
seven lives' at Honea Path Is the
textile strike’s bloodies: battle.
Hawkins was one of the first
witnesses called as the state be
gan an inquiry int(T the deaths—
half of the textile strike’s total
toll of fatalities.
Hawkins testified that Charlie
Smith, regular policeman in the
mill town, shot Lee Crawford
“In the back three times as he
was getting up off the ground
where two fellows had knocked
him down with sticks.”
"The first shot came from the
second window from the end of
the mill,’’ Hawkins asserted.
The whole think was a rattle of
bullets that followed right after
that shot.”

H ollywood has gone “F-8."
In America’s colorful moving
picture capital the Ford V-8 Is
easily the most popular car.
Here is one more indication of
Ford leadership in style as well as
performance. For it takes both to
"get by” in Hollywood these days!
Look over a new Ford V-8. Exam
ine its.fittings—they’re rustless
metal. Notice the rich upholstery.
See the many extra conveniences—
from a special compartment for
your purse to sun-visors to protect
your eyes.
Then drive this car yourself. Once
you experience “V-8 performance”
combined with Ford ease of han
dling, you’ll realize why every
woman loves to go places in the
Ford V-8.
Remember, too—you save on the
low Ford V-8 price. Ford parts cost
little. And the new Ford V-8 is
more economical to operate than
any Ford car ever built.
