KEEPING COUNTY HISTORY
STRAIGHT.
' How mafty counties in North Carolina
have"in published form a county history?
We wager the opinion that the number
Is small, this matter being, one that has
- failed to attract and receive the atten
tion it deserves. We have been content,
as it were, to rock along, leaving such
i matters to the State Historical Commis
sion or some other agency. Most of the
i North Carolina counties are rich in his-
V’tory but their inhabitants just never
have thought much about preserving in
form this history.
A ' For this reason we are gratified that
| : the North Carolina Historical Commis
sion has inaugurated a movement looking
to the organization of a local historical
society in each of the one hundred coun
tries in the State and the appointment of ■
• an historian, in each county who shall be
delegated to write the county's history,
y There are several persons in Concord
fully capable of doing this work. We
hope the Cabarrus commissioners or oth
liier proper agencies can see fit to carry out
the suggestion in this county.
plan is set forth in a letter sent a
few days-ago to the county superintend
—ents and city superintendents of educa
tion throughout the state. It is as .fol-
* . •-ri
“North Carolina has a history which
surpasses both in scope and in richness
of many of the states in the Ameri
lari Union. But whereas state history
■els been preserved and made available
t>y the State Literary ana Historical As
sociation and the North Carolina Histori
cal Commission, local history in- North
Carolina. has not generally had that sys
tematic promotion which its importance
deserves. What has been done for state
fhistory should and can be done for local
history by local agencies. In New York,
a state law requiring the appointment of
a local historian in each town and city has
stimulated greatly the preservation and
writing of local history.
“In every county in North Carolina
there exists historical material without
which an adequate county history cannot
be w ritten; yet if not collected and pre
served, its destruction is certain. In ev
ery county there has been a record of
achievement w r hich, if written, and pub
lished, would stimulate local pride and
achievement and add to the knowledge of
North Carolina history. In every coun
ty there is someone already experienced
in historical work or deeply interested
therein, who, if given the position of lo
cal historian, would be honored and stim
ulated to greater efforts in collecting ma
terial, writing history, and organizing a
association. In every county there
-Jij a sufficient number of persons inter
®%sted in history with which to form a
county historical association. In the
face of these conditions, there is no need
for those interested in the cause of edu
cation and history to await the legal es
tablishment of the office of county his
torian. If results can be achieved inde
pendently, the prospect will be favorable
for legislative co-operation two years
hence.” - ,
PROSPERITY INDICATED.
If tax payments are an indication of
prosperity then North Carolina is all
right financially at the present time.
Indications now are that by June 30th
a total of $27,583,000 in State taxes and
$200,000,000 to $205,000,000 in federal
taxes, a total of $230,000,000 or more will
have been collected in this State during
the year. There are indications further
more, that a credit balance in the State
treasury of $1,650,000 will be shown at
the end of the fiscal year. Most of this j
increase in federal revenue collections is
due to the steadily mounting sale of to
'bacco stamps, chiefly cigarette stamps.
Orr one day in May, more than sl/)(}0,000 |
worth of cigarette stamps were purchas
ed by North Carolina cigarette manufac- ,
turers.
The increase in the collections of Fed
eral taxes in the state by the Internal
Revenue Collector lias been phenomenal,
according to the figures for the first elev
en months of the current fiscal year as
made public by Gilliam Grissom, collect
vor for North Carolina.
During May, internal revenue collec
tions amounted to $18,381,949.05, wlych
was $3,528,976.83 more than was collect- (
ed in May, 1926. Collections for the past
eleven months amount to $170,610,013.36,
which is a gain of more than $12,000,000
over the same period last year. And'since
collections in June, 1926, amounted to
$21,620,902, collections for June this
year should run considerably over that,
with the result that the total internal
revenue collections for this fiscal year
should be in excess of $200,000,000, ac
cording to Mr. Grissom.
The Budget Bureau expects that the
total collections for the entire year in
the revenue division will amount to fully
$13,483,000, as compared with collections
of but $12,672,000 for the preceding year,
and that the collections from the gaso
line tax and the automobile license sales
will amount to approximately $14,100,-
000, as Compared with collections last
year of but $12,229,000.
This would make the total revenue col
lected from all sources for this fiscal
year amount to $27,583,000, as compared
with a total revenue for the preceding fis
cal year of but $23,499,528, which means
that approximately $4,063,472 more will
have been collected this fiscal year than
last, and that there will be a surplus or
“credit balance” of about $1,650,000, ac
cording to the Budget Bureau.
All of which indicates that prosperity
is no total stranger in North Carolina.
AS EDITOR SEES NEEDS OF STATE
Santford Martin, editor of The Win
ston-Salem Journal, addressed the alum
ni of Wake Forest the other night and in
his excellent address discussed the prac
tical needs of North Carolina to usher in
a better day.
He declared that for the price of five
miles of concrete highway we could build
an institution that would not require
youthful offenders to be put in prison
with hardened criminals. That is a mat
ter that ought to receive serious consid
eration.
Here is what North Carolina needs de
clared Mr. Martin:
What 'North Carolina needs most to
day is not industrial leaders of wider vis
ion so much as political leaders in whose
ears the school bell rings louder than the
cash register. In his first inaugural,
W oodrow Wilson summoned to his side
“all forward-looking men.” He wanted
no other type. In his transition period,
in; which industry' and culture must learn
to live together in the same house, the
commonwealth will be safe only as she
succeeds in summoning forward-looking
men to places of responsibility and pow
er.
When the fight was on against the dis
tillery and saloon there were those short
visioned men who said the battle could
be won by local option. In the fight on
ignorance, a far more strongly entrench
ed enemy of the race than the liquor
traffic ever was, there are these who say
the battle can be won by local option.
North Carolina needs leaders who can see
that local option in public education has
served its day and that the time has come
for the State to put its resources back of
the fight against ignorance just as it final
ly rallied its forces against the liquor traf
fic.
In the battle that is ahead, the first ob
jective is a free ballot. Government nev
er will be humanized in North Carolina
until all the voters shall have a fair op
portunity to cast their ballot without
fear of intimidation or the dread of em
barrassment at the polls. The present
system at the voting places tends to pro
mote and foster, not majority, but minor
ity rule.,
W c should have an election system in
North Carolina that will tend to encour
age, not discourage, a majority of the
people to attend elections. We should
have a system that invites and challenges
all men and women, no matter what their
station in life, to be good citizens. We
should have a system that will make it
as hard as possible for people to be voted
in groups and as easy as possible to ob
tain the independent expression of indi
vidual opinion at the ballot box.
ABOUT DRUNKEN DRIVERS.
The law passed by the last General
Assembly requiring judges to revoke
drivers licenses for all persons found
guilty of driving an automobile while in
toxicated or “under the influence” of
liquor is being challenged. The trouble
see-ms to be that judges do not agree as
to when a person is intoxicated or “un
der the influence” of liquor,
j One man hailed into court in Winston-
Salem under the law had his license re
voked and he immediately appealed. The
judge of the next highest court told him
it was all right for him to drive his car,
taking the position that while it was
proven that the man had been drinking
it was not established that the was “un
der the influence” of liquor.
So perhaps the law, so generously ap
plauded, may not mean so much after all,
if all judges take the position that they
have the right to determine when a man
Vis intoxicated-or “linger, the’ififlufence.”
Judges do have much authority in the
matter of discretion but we are convinced
thal members of the Legislature did not
intend to leave this matter of discretion
open when this law was passed. It is
our belief that the solons thought they
were making it mandatory for judges to
impose the certain and stated sentence
on every one convicted of driving while
intoxicated or “under the influence.” If
that was not the intention of the solons
why the law? There was sufficient law
already on the books for judges to re
voke licenses when they saw fit to do so.
Is the man who has taken one drink
“under the influence?” That’s the big
question it seems. In our opinion a mam
may take one drink without being in
toxicated but he can’t take one drink
without being “under the influence” of
liquor. We believe even one drink can
affect a man’s driving ability. One
drink of liquor can chance a man’s sense
of distance, making it dangerous for him
to drive, for the man at the wheel must
be able to judge distance if he can do
nothing else. ‘ -
If judges are going to decide the mat
ter of intoxication and “influence” then
the law means nothing. The Supreme
Court may have to decide the matter
finally, determining how much liquor a
man ordinarily has to have before, he is
drunk or “under the influence.”
HEADED IN RIGHT DIRECTION.
The Charlotte Observer finds-from a
statistical agency the discovery that few
er murders were committed in this coun
try last year than in the year 1925. “The
reduction is encouraging but it is nothing
to brag about,” the Observer finds, since
the murder rate for 1926 was 9.9 per
100,000 population as against a rate of
11 for 1925.
The statistics show that for the year
1926 there were 510 murders in Chicago,
this being 53 less than the total for 1925.
“The murder record in this country is
one of distressing contemplation and is
in marked contrast to the records in Eng
land and Canada,” says The Observer,
“which countries are unable to under
stand it all, so comparatively free are
they from crimes of the kind. Canada
and England are comparatively free of
murder because they hang murderers.
Prompt arrest, trial, conviction and- exe
cution are the order in their courts. .
The Observer wonders “just what de
gree of responsibility do the courts of the
United States share in this record?”
Next after Chicago in come
the following cities::
New York with 340 murders ill 1926,
and 374 in 1925; Detroit with 327 in
1926 and 243 in 1925; Philadelphia with
178 in 1926 and 192 in 1925;-St. Louis
with 134 in and 163 in 1925; New
Orleans with 141 in 1926 <and 154 in
1925; Birmingham with 124 in 1926 and
112 in 1925.
CHAUTAUQUA AGAIN.
Concord is to have the Redpath Chau
tauqua again in 1928, seventy-four busi
ness and professional men of the city
guaranteeing the attraction, which again
will be sponsored by the Woman’s Club.
Just before the final program for this
■year was concluded Wednesday night
1928 season tickets were distributed and
it is understood that enough were sign
ed for to care for half of next season’s
guarantee. Persons who signed these
tickets should consider their action as a
binding obligation and should not hesi
tate next season to take such tickets as
they agreed to take. If every one will
do this the task of rajsing the money next
season will be an easy one.
Nothing but high class entertainment
was offered this year during'the Chautau
qua program. The same has been true
year after year. The Redpath enter
tainers -rank with the best in the nation,
no doubt, and their programs here were
entertaining and instructive this year as
they have always been in the past. It
is money well spent when the Chautau
qua is brought to town, and those indi
viduals and agencies which made possi
ble the excellent program this season de
serve commendation from the hundreds
who so profitably heard and saw the pro
grams^
Captain Charles A. Lindbergh has de
clined so far to capitalize his adventure.
It may be that he will accept some con
tract that will mean a fortune, to him, but
if he does the contract may be expected
to be of such a nature that he can contin
ue his aviation career. In discussing va
rious offers that have been proferred, the
noted trans-Atlantic flier made it plain
that he does not intend to take up in the
future any work that will hinder his avia
tion experiments. Several noted motion
picture producers, men with influence
and wealth, have sought to interest Cap-
Jain Lindbergh in movie contracts but he
has signed none of them, showing a keen
business sense and at the same time prov
ing that he did not fly from Npw\ York to
Paris solely for the money-in yen
ture. His attitude has'certainly not de
creased the favor in which he is held by
the public. He made the light as a
means of increasing the efficiency of av- I
iation, and not as a means of making a
fortune. He is as unusual in this as he
f Me coNdORDti ME S
is in his ability to operate a plane for long
stretches at the time.
FEW FARMS IN STATE MORT
GAGED.
Taken as a whole few North Carolina
farms are mortgaged, according to the
1925 Census of Agriculture. Os the 132,-
610 farms operated by full owners only
,24,983 or 18.8 cent, were mortgaged. In
f two States, it is shown, are the ratios of
mortgaged farms lower than in North
Carolina —Virginia 18.6 per cent, and
West Virginia 11.8 per cent. , For the
JJnited States slightly more than one
third of all farms operated by full own
ers are mortgaged.
The ratio of mortgaged farms is high
in such states as California, lowa, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wiscon
sin, and lowest in West Virginia, Vir
ginia, North Carolina, Florida, and Ten
nessee. N
The University ,News Letter thinks
the low per cent, of mortgaged farms in
the South is due largely to the fact that
mortgage houses have not considered
Southern farms good risks.
The News Letter also says “it is a
mistake to infer that a low ratio of mort
gaged farms is a healthy or favorable
sign. The business of the world today
is conducted on credit. Credit may be
used wisely or unwisely,' by farmers as
well as other groups. The wise use of
credit is as good business for the farmer
as it is for the factory operator. But it
must be used wisely, and too often the
mortgaged farm is not the result of a
productive investment. Few North Car
olina farms are mortgaged, either for
consumptive or productive purposes.
“Whether or not a large per cent, of
mortgaged farms is good or bad depends
entirely upon the nature of the debt se
cured by the mortgage. A farmer who
goes in debt to increase the earning pow
er of his farm does just what other prop
erly conducted businesses do. It is just
as good business for a farmer to use bor
rowed capital as it is for a railroad, or a
factory or for local, state, and national
governments. The farmer who mort
gages his farm in order to buy luxuries
and consumptive goods is acting unwise
ly, of course, and such practices should
be discouraged. Many farms are mort
gaged during periods of depression in ag
riculture, and this is unfortunate. But
to incur debt in order to make the farm
more efficient as a producing unit is good
business.
“It-is interesting to note that the ratio
of mortgaged farms is usually high where
farmers are wealthy and prosperous and
low where farmers are poor. The farm
ers of Denmark are conceded to be
among the most prosperous in the world,
yet their farm debt is appalling. The
debt has been incurred to make agricul
ture more productive and the farm more
efficient. The Danes operate largely on
borrowed' capital, and much of their
prosperity is due to their wise use of this
borrowed capital.”
WHY THE CHANGED PLANS?
~x~z
Newspaper correspondents in the cap
ital say that when they met for their us
ual conference with President Coolidge
last Tuesday morning nothing was said
about Captain Charles A. Lindbergh go
ing to Washington upon his arrival from
Europe. The matter of the young air
man’s daring feat was mentioned several
rimes, it was said, but the Chief Execu
tive made no mention of any plans he
had to receive the flier in Washington in
stead of having him met at New York.
Then suddenly Tuesday afternoon
came the announcement that Lindbergh
would go to Washington, to be received
by the President. At the time the flier
had not been consulted, it'was said, and
his wishes were not known when the an
nouncement came from Washington.
One correspondent, representing the
New World, said the President’s
decision to welcome Lindbergh came
with unexpected suddenness because of
the fact that in the capital much was be
ing said about the apparent lack of in
terest being shown at the White House
in the airman’s home-coming. This cor
respondent said a number of persons had
been heard to comment on the fact that
at first the President intended to go on
to his summer White House and miss
Lindbergh a day or two, rather than re
main at Washington to show such hom
age from this government as has been
paid by European governments.
There is something behind the plans
outlined for the President. Is there a
political motive behind the sudden in
terest being taken in the matter by the
administration?
; FOURTEEN ERRORS OF LIFE.
A London judge has listed what he ■
considers the Fourteen Great Mistakes
of Life, as follows:
{ 1. It's a mistake to attempt to set your
own standards of right and wrong and
expect everybody to conform to them.
2. It’s a mistake to try to measure the
enjoyment of others by your own.
3. It’s a mistake to expect uniformity
of opinion in this world.
4. It’s a mistake to look for judgment
and experience in youth.
5. It’s a mistake to endeavor to mould
all dispositions alike.
6. It’s a mistake not to yield to unim
portant trifles. v
7. It’s a mistake to look for perfec
tion in our own actions.
8. It’s a mistake to worry ourselves
and others about what can not fie reme
died. ‘ . •’ .
9. It’s a mistake not tp alleviate, if we
can, all that needs alleviation.
10. It’s a mistake not to make allow
ances for the weaknesses of others.
12. It’s a nfistake to believe only what
the finite mind can grasp.
13. It’s a mistake to live as if the
moment, the time, the day im
portant that it would live forever.
14. It’s a mistake to estimate people
by some outside quality, for it is that
within which makes the man.
BENEFICIAL RAINo.
Following a drought season of several
weeks, rains throughout North Carolina
during the past week have aided crops
and water supplies. Rain has fallen in
practically all sections of the State within
the past week or ten days making it pos
sible for farm work to be carried forward
satisfactorily.
There has been plenty of rain in Ca
barrus. Since Saturday, May 28th, there
have been daily showers, the precipita
tion in most instances, being sufficient
for local, needs.
While Concord's water supply is guar
anteed by the impounding dam complet
ed last ) r ear, some sections of the county
were facing a water shortage when the
rains came. Wells in some parts of the
county were beginning to show the af
fects of the dry season and some appre-,
hension had been aroused by the drought.
The rainfall , during the past ten days
has been sufficient, however, to relieve
any threatening shortage and if anything
like normal conditions prevail in the fu
ture, there should be no shortage this
summer.
Crops as a whole, are making satisfac
tory progress in this county. Cotton is
off to a good stand and other crops, while
not so good as last season, and this ap
plies especially to wheat and oats, are
satisfactory. U
BALE OF COTTON A WEEK.
Gastonia^Gazette.
The equivalent of a bale of cotton a week is
the record of a Rowan county farmer, Mr. R. L.
Shuping, who sells a considerable amount of but
ter. milk and other dairy products in Salisbury
every week.
Salisbury has a curb market and on Saturdays
Mr. Shuping s#Us there. On Tuesdays he makes
deliveries to his customers at their homes, accord
ing to information from the county agent, Mr.
W. G. Yeager.
Mr. Shuping's sales this past Saturday morning
consisted of 30 pounds of butter, 36 gallons of
buttermilk. 16 pints of cottage cheese, and 27
pints of cream, returning to him a total of $324.35.
and this with his Tuesday sales of a somewhat
lesser amount is returning to Mr. Shuping SSO or
more a week from his small dairy herd, or turn
it around, Mr. Shuping is making a Tmle of cotton
each week in addition to his other farming which
is no small quantity.
Mr. Shuping’s bale of cotton from his cows is
being made at a very much smaller outlay of time
and labor, and investment than would 'be a bale
of cotton each week, and he is carrying home the
money.
In addition his farm is *becoming-more fertile,
his boys are interested in farming, and Mr. Shuping
is not worrying about the low price of lint cotton,
high taxes, nor anything else in particular, but
constantly on the lookout for a good milk cow
to add to his small, but growing herd.
THE TKACHES’ PLEDGE.
High Point Enterprise.
That North Carolina's one hundred counties can
furnish forth a contract between school authorities
and teachers, pledging the latter not to “fall in
love,” not to dance or dress immodestly and not
to encourage or tolerate “the least familiarily on
the part of any boy pupils” ought not be partic
ularly surprising to those familiar with the almost
infinite variety of Tar Heelia. The astonishing
thing is that Prof. Charlie Coon’s contract contains
these provisions which amuse the rest of the coun
try and which impress some home school men as
insulting to the teachers.
A young lady who could definitely contract not
to “fall in loVe” during a specified length of time
has remarkable control of her emotions and no
doubt should make a superb disciplinarian. But
we fancy that a teacher whose pledge will suffice to
keep her loveless is quite safe from love even with
out her signature to the covenant. We also incline
to the opinion that an occasional teacher confer
ence about deportment for the benefit of recruits
to the teaching staff would ! be lefcs offensive and
more effective thafi any sorfeof contractual obliga
tion the teacher might assume iu the beginning.
THE STATE WATCHING.
Hickory Record.
The man who takes the place of Dr. Poteat at j
ake lorest will step into shoes that resemble the
proverbial battleship in size. And for that reason j
the whoe state is watching. The Salisbury Post |
has this comment to make about the-matter:
Tiie trustees of Wake Forest are taking their j
time about selecting the successor to Ur. PoteHt. I
truthfully states Charity and Children. Editor
Johnson commends the wisdom of this course, for
he rightly sees in hasty, ill-considered action, danger
of ipisfake. Ihe Baptist church has a number of
ineq capable.;of handling this, job, but reijientbering
that it is perhaps tbe bifgqtfti- job, tbit fte'dfirtrh
has m the state, the right man should be found,
must be found. A misfit there would be disastrous
and it would be hard to right.”
Remembering the time when the red nose of an
excessive drinker was called a rum blossom, we !
suppose nowadays the adornment is really a coru ,
flower.—Kansas City Star.
