Observation aitd Comment By F. O. Carver, Jr. "The Mill Owners and their po litical henchman, Governor Ehring haus," were the words of Norman Thomas, leader of the Socialist par ty, last Saturday night in a radio address in presenting a resume of the textile strike. If wt mistake not, the oath of office for a North Carolina governor swears him to use his office for the protection of the life and property of North Caro linians. Of course Mr Thomas spoke in regard to the calling of the state troops In this strike. Did not the leaders of the strike ask for no interference, and diS not the gov ernor declare a policy of hands off until he saw that the strikers were overdoing themselves? Where else could the mills turn for protection when outsiders forced them to close their doors whether they or their employees would or no? Mr. Thomas must have been grievously misin formed to accuse the governor of allowing politics to interfere with his sworn duty. "That imitation Huey Long, Gov ernor of Georgia," is another phrase that we find in Mr. Thomas' radio address on the same occasion. Won der if the Georgians have nicknam ed Governor Talmadge "General" yet? At least Huey manages to keep New Orleans quiet during an election. Guess Mr. Thomas drew his illustration from that fact. Tobacco. The golden weed Is on he market. It has started a back wash of greenback and smiles are the order of the day. Like so many things the nation wide search for the Lindbergh baby kidnapper ended almost air its own Trent door. What about the old say ing that "Charity begins at home?" Gorman. "We have gained every joint for which we struck." Just vhat was it all about anyway? Please efer to Winant Board. "Strikers Demand Johnson's Scalp," "Friends of Johnson Say He is Definitely Out," were headlines that followed each other in rapid: succession last week. Betcha they | didn't scalp him Indian-fashion, but he may have "cracked down" on the Blue Eagle too harS. And remember, folks, all roads iPUBtIC STATEMENT It hag, been my pleasure to work uitder Sheriff Melvin "Clayton as Deputy Sheriff of Person County for the past eighteen months. I have now have accepted a position with Long, Bradsher Hardware Company. As I cannot hold two jobs .this necessitates that I resign from the position that I had with the county. In so doing I wish to say that I part from Sheriff Clayton with the most profound regret. I have never worked for a finer, more honorable man, nor has there ever been the slightest dif ferences between us during the time that I have been as sociated with him. Respectfully, Clarence C.

Winstead addressed the student body in chapel exercises Tuesday morning. errors By Obediah Frazier ;I guess everybody makes mistakes some times. In my articles I wrote that came out in the last week's is sue of The Courier when speaking of the miller at Moore's mill, I am sorry I got his name confused With that of his brother Rainey. The one that runs the mill Is named Bed ney. If I am spelling his name cor rect. So I hope Brother Bowen andj his brother Rainey too, will not think hard because it was an error of the head, not of the heart. Carry him a load of grain some time and see if you don't find him on the level. I am sure he will .treat you fair and square. Some times when we plant crops we make mistakes. Maybe not using the right kind of fertilizer or maybe not using enough or something. And some ; times when cooking a person is sub | ject to add a little too much season ing or maybe not enough. It might be that some times when we are touring the country we take the wrong road and travel ever so far before we discover our mistake. We . sometimes say and do things that we are sorry for afterwards. So. I think the best thing to do is to al ways be in a hurry to right the wrong, correct the errors and strive hard to avoid mistakes that bring sorrow and regret. When Peter made the gerat mistake of denying his Lord our Savior he was mighty quick to see his mistake and re pent of it. There are thousands and millions of people today, no | doubt, that ha^re heard or are liear ing the call of. our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are turning a deaf ear to His call. I want to say to the unsaved man or woman, boy or I kir^-that you may have made little simple errors or mistakes and It didn't amount to so much, but when you .deny or reject Jesus Christ my Lord and won't let Him have youC.heart and use your life and make out of you what you ought to be, then you have done _ made one of U?e greatest errors or of your, lifetime. .

YADKIN COUNTY - VOTES 2TO 1 FOR SCHOOL BONDS Raleigh. Sept. 26.?Yadkin coun ty, previously looked upon as one of; the most backward and least pro gressive of the 100 counties of the State, recently sprang fully into the sunlight of publicity and favorable j discussion because the citizens of | (that county, by a two-to-one ma jority, voted bonds for a county-" wide program of school building construction, taking advantage of 'jthe 30 per cent offered bv the Fed eral PWA in the $182,000 building plan. Dr. A. T. Allen, State superin- i tendent of public instruction, com mented that Yadkin was the first county in the history of North Car olina that had ever voted a county wide school building program, and the fact that it comes at this time] ! is considered sufficient cause for be- 1 ; stowing a medal for the achieve j ment. | Comment generally is favorable and wide-spread, but observations in an editorial in the Raleigh after-1 noon newspaper that this is an ex ample of another start being made, of counties preparing again to face bankruptcy "by reason of having over-extended their credit i or schools," causes Jule B. Warren, sec retary of the North Carolina Edu ' cation Association to present a few facts about the debts of the coun ties and the part of it chargeable to the schools. His figures are taken from the last report of the State Tax Commission. The total debt of the 100 coun ties, bonded and non-bonded, at the time the commission's report was compiled was $370,648,367, while on ly $74,091,098 was school debt, or only about 20 percent can be charg ed to the schools, Mr. Warren points out. There is a tendency, be said, to blame the schools of the State for the heavy C06t, probably because "about the only thing taxpayers and others can see that we have gotten for our borrowings and debts are school houses." He cites that for the $74,000,000 in school debt, the coun NOW OPEN WITH A COMPLETE LINE OF Quality Furniture At Lowest Possible Prices! * ' -Vv Bed Springs, Mattresses, Chairs and the famous "iwfe ' of Eagle Stoves and Ranges at prices unheard of before in Rox boro.
