Register And Vote Attention of the voters in four town ships in Wilkes County is called to the fact that they must register to be able to vote in the November election. These townships are North Wilkesboro, Wil- kesboro, Mulberry and Union, compris ing a great part of the electorate of the county. This does not apply only to new vot ers, it means all that are registered at the present time must re-register and all new voters must register if they are to vote. Despite much pessimistic calk and writing to the contrary the people still have the power to run this country as they see fit and they can only do this through full and untramelled use of the ballot. The secret ballot provides that every man or woman can vote with freedom and secrecy and coercion and the other evils can be stamped out in this method. There are three Saturdays set aside for registration. The first is Saturday of this week and the other two regis tration days are October 20 and 27. After October 27 it will be too late to register for voting in November. It is your duty as a citizen of a great Commonwealth and nation to cast a ballot in the election according to your best judgment and may you make up your own mind and vote accordingly. It is not our purpose to make up your mind. We are merely pointing out the duty of every man or woman qualified to register and vote and may the peo ple have the free voice and power in the election that was given them by our forefathers in the days of struggle for representation in government. Baseball Still King Since 1890 baseball has been the na tional pastime in the United States and ever so often there has been some far sighted prophet who sees some other sport coming to the top to crow’d the diamond game from the perch. Careful consideration of the game will show that it always has been the center of attraction and we see nothing now that would detract from its popu larity. One of the most sensational se ries of games in baseball history has just been completed to determine the championship of the world. There are reasons for the game of baseball commanding the respect it does. It is the game nearest perfection where well trained muscles in coordina tion with a brilliant mind are the de termining factors in loss or victory'. It is clear cut with little or no chance for cheating, fraud and dirty playing. It is well supervised by men who know base ball and guard it from any cheats who would like to break down the game to raise themselves in the estimation of the people or for monetary gain. In 1919 a game was sold out but those players have been banished from the game. Great as they were on the diamond, they vanished within a few days and there has never been another game thrown to the winds for money. We have respect for men who play any game square and who fight for clean- cut victory. The moral contained in a certain little verse is worth repeating a second time in these columns: “When the Great Scorer Comes To write against your name ' He will^not write, you won or lost, = But how you played the game." Practically all newsp^r readera will rememb^' the caao of William Edwaid Hiclcman, tiie young criminal whose bru tality shocked the world with his grue some murder of Marion Parker and the collection of $1,500 in ransom money. Hickman was condemned to die and upon entering the ,death chamber he reached into a pocket of his gray prison blouse and took out a written document. At the request of a number of readws we are giving the the statement of Hick man. It follows: “The devil is exerting his influence upon the minds of men in order to tear down the work of God. By the deceit of satan, crime and violence have come into the world. Men who wilfully reject Jesus Christ and deny the grace of God invite ultimate damnation and torment. “Let men realize that there are invisible forces for good and for evil ever pres ent and ever working upon the minds and hearts of mortals. The important fact is for a man to open his heart to the Christian faith and so live that he over comes the law of sin and death. The rea son that I became such a horrible criminal was that I allowed a demon of heU to lead me on. I was most ignorant. “A young man who tries to build char acter without truth is like the house built on the sands. It is very dangerous for young men to neglect their spiritual wel fare. During high school, I took an inter est in evolution and atheism and denied the Christian faith. Therefore, I became susceptible to worse errors, and finally took up crime and murder. Cling to the Christian faith and practice. Then you will have a solid foundation upon which to build a life. Persevere in prayer and Bible study. “Do noth think that such a course is without reward. There is no true happi ness except to do the will of God. Men can do infinite good and abound in won derful works w’hen they look to God for their only trust and aid.” These are the final words of a man con demned to die. JfTHU^Ay, OC?T. 11. 1984 Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THE CHRISTIAN AXn HIS RIBLE Lesson for October 14th. Acts 8:26-39. Golden Text: Psalm 119-97. The story of Philip and the Ethiopian is very appealing. The picture of the eunuch seated in his chariot reading the prophecy of Isaiah, with the apostle beside him in the act of interpretation, appeals strongly to one’s imagination. Now many folk today ai’e quite as puzzled when they read the Bible as was this Ethio pian. Their problem may be stated as follows. “Why should we go to the Bible for guidance, a book written centuries ago when life was so vastly different? Why not face our perplexi ties head-on, with our own vigor of mind and soul ?’’ Prof. Mary Lyman, of Union Seminary, has given an effective answer. She points out that the Bible ha.s the advantage over contempor ary culture in that it presents the issues of life in a simple and vivid form. Our age is en ormously confused and complicated. In Bible times folk lived and thought more directly and naturally than they do now. It is a genu ine help to begin with a simple, clear outlook of the Good Book. Then, too, the Bible is essentially pictur esque and dramatic. W'e can easily agree with Mrs. Lyman that pictures and drama are more convincing than argument, however skilful. Think of the amazing success of the Negro Bi ble play, “The Green Pastures,’’ which ran for a full year and a half in New York before pack ed houses. And we must remember that the Bible, in striking fashion, combines successfully the particular and the universal. Although written thousands of years ago from an entirely dif ferent background from that of today, it is as fresh and timely as ever. Let us then learn to love the Book of Life until we can say with a full heart our Golden Text, "O how love I thy law! It Is my medita tion all the day." Three separate Japanese war scares have figured in the prints lately, but it is well to reflect that many a triple threat in early Oc tober turns out to be a flat tire by Thanksgiv ing day.—Norfolk Virginian-Pilot.

One touch of munitions scantkil makes the M y* . The not 80 BOOKS . . ./> People are " many .books, these ' but good books are selling more than they did. There was a period of several years In which any book would sell If It were only nasty enough, and a great number of prurient-minded would-be au thors, who never had mastered even the rndlments of writing, broke Into print with volumes which Irresponsible publishers put out and which seemed to find a ready market. That sort'of "literature’’ Is fading from the scene. In its place are serious discussions of important and vital questions, which people who are eager to know what all the economic troubles are about are rushing to buy. To my desk come many books. In the past ten days I have re ceived not less than six books discussing the New Deal from different angles, all of them worth reading, although I don’t agree with all of the authors. • » • HOOVER his Ideas Liberals, whether they call themselves Democrats or Repub licans, ought to read Herbert Hoover’s book, “The Challenge to Liberty." Mr. Hoover Is not a literary stylist. He writes plain ly, directly and often bluntly. It is hardly necessary to say that he doesn’t approve of the New Deal. Many of its objectives, he agrees, as all sensible liberal- minded men agree, are not only worthy but necessary. What Mr. Hoover fears is that, in trying to arrive at economic security by a short-cut, the American people may be sacrificing liberties which they can never regain. What Mr. Hoover has to say about the tendency of bureau cracy to perpetuate itself and expand its functions arises from his own experience and observa tion. And what he says about the control of business by Govern ment and what Us consequences may be provides food for deep thought. • * • W.\LL.ACE .... an honest view I have long maintained that the naost, ^perfectly-functioning brain in the Roosevelt Adminis tration is that of Henry Wal lace, Secretary of Agriculture. .Mr. Wallace is capable of seeing both sides of any subject and of thinking things through to their logical conclusions. Now Mr. Wallace has found time to write a book, entitled “New Frontiers.’’ It is not a com pilation of speeches and public statements, but a fresh record of events and issues as they have appeared to him as a member of the Roosevelt Cabinet. Mr. Wallace, naturally, ap proaches his subject from a dif ferent angle from that from which Mr. Hoover views the Washington scene. I get the im pression that he is not entirely satisfied with the way things have worked out for the farmer, and if he had the shaping of a new Agricultural Adjustment Act it would be quite a different piece of work. • • • IMP.'IRTT.’VL .... Non-partisan Another Wallace — Professor Schuyler C. Wallace, who holds the chair of Public Law at Co lumbia University—has written a book which gives to the aver age reader a clearer and more understandable picture of the New Deal than any single volume I have seen. Professor Wallace, while sympathetic, seems to have preserved a non-partisan, im partial point of view. To the facts about the various phases of the efforts of the Administra tion he adds his own comments and interpretations, which I would hesitate to indorse as a whole but which are plainly and fairly stated. For the average reader, this is perhaps the most generally use ful book of the lot on my desk. • • • CONTROVERSIAL . from ranks James P. Warburg, who was one of President Roosevelt’s eco nomic advisers until they parted company over the Administra tion’s monetary policy, has writ ten “It’s Up to Us,” a highly en tertaining book on a little under stood subject—money and bank ing.

( Ferguson Hi School News Ferguson school opened on the 20th of last month with quite a number of patrons present. The school spirit is fine. Up to this time the enrollment is 230. Of this number, S9 are high school students. Some of the things which are being done for the improvement of the school are as follows: The grounds on which basket ball and volley ball courts are to be, are being cleaned off. Pitching horse shoes, playing old-fashioned “bull-pen” and "straight-base’’ are furnishing sports for the children until the more modern games are install ed. The students are being train ed to march into the trucks in reverse order as to th© order In which they get out of the truck so that time may be saved as well as to prohibit their running over each other to get in and out of the truck. Teachers are scrupulously sup ervising the school grounds and the building in order that the building may be protected and that the misconduct may be re duced to a minimum. Shades have been ordered for the windows. They are expected within the next few days. Dr. Eller and Miss Bell, officials in the health department of the county, visited the school last week. Mr. C. M. Dickson, principal of Ferguson school, will make a round trip on each truck within the next few days for the pur pose of Inspecting the routes and - ■■ ■'■ ■ ■’ ' ' W.' 13-PLATE STANDARD BATTERY .

Rlehberg, director of the indus trial emergency committee, to day charged that the "political partisan” who advocated both adequate unemployment relief and a balanced budget was "try ing to make a fool out of his government.’’ “It is desirable and necessary to balance the federal budget at the earliest moment,’’ Rlehberg told a Rotary club meeting. He said, however, tha’ sweeping de mands for drastic slashing of ex penditures and immediate bal ancing of the budget, in the face of relief needs, were th© product either of gross ignorance or po litical demagoguism.
