HUMANITARIANISM IN PINEBLUFF For real uplift and inspiration let The Pilot suggest a visit to the sunny but business-like sew ing room at Mrs. Walter Mac- Neille’s home in Pinebluff—some Friday afternoon, where eight sewing machines are kept busy making up soft small garments to be given to needy expectant mothers of Moore county. Your attention would be held for an unforgettable moment by the exquisite Madonna on the wall, a symbol of the spirit which underlies the work at the Pinebluff Committee for Matern. ity Welfare. You will be shown a large chest, freqently emptied, but just now containing tiny flannel shirts and bands, pink wrappers which would make any baby, white or colored “look mighty lak a rose, ’ crocheted jackets and bootees, used or newly made, all ready for the county nurse who collects them at intervals to distribute as far as they wall go—among the dis tressingly needy cases in the county. Simple bassinets are bought and*equipped by the workers to give the baby a better start than he would get when sharing a bed, as many must do, with two or more older persons. Do nations of worn clothes are al ways welcomed and ur\solicited gifts of money help out the bud get, The little cottage next door has been opened recently on Saturday afternoons as a sec ond-hand shop which is success fully financing the various ac tivities of the group while inci dentally doing a great commun ity service by supplying cloth ing, dishes and many necessi ties at slight cost to poor but in dependent families. The interests of the commit tee are widespread and include a bi-monthly baby clinic and home economics class for color ed mothers at Addor. This is proving to be a popular social gathering where the County Public Health nurse. Miss Mar garet McQueen, has an oppor tunity to check up on the prog ress of the babies and to give advice to the mothers; while the County Home Demonstrat ing Agent Miss Flora McDon ald teaches the women how to put in practice the methods recommended by the nurse. Re freshments are served by the committee and an inspiring de votional service ends each clin ic meeting. But it is around Pinebluff itself that the main part of the Maternity Welfare work is cen tered. Local colored families know they can always find sym pathy and aid for deserving cases requiring special treat ment or medical care. At any time there may be a knock on the door and a child has come to say “mammy is sick” or “the baby is took bad. We needs the doctor.” Government Makes Business Make Two and Two Make Four—But Can’t Do It Itself “When Roosevelt Asks Govemnient To Cooperate With Business Instead of Business To Cooperate W'ith a Defaulting Government We’Jl Get Somewhere” Editor, The Pilot: So many inquiries have been made as to what the Republicans intend to do that something ought to be said, so here goes: With two million on relief and another two million on W. P. A., the Democrats have a handicap on the Republicans of about seven million votes. It isn’t a question of what the Republicans are going to do, the question is how long will it take peo more liquor drinkers and cocktail consumers today than ever before in the history of the United States. A politician used to be able to expect about one hundred votes per one hun dred lies, but now its about ten thousand lies per one hundred votes. There are more murders today than ever before in the history of the United States. People ask What's Wrong? The whole philosophy of the new deal is wrong. It has been a lie pie to learn that under every "Deal” i froni the beginning, in that it has known to man, two and two still • taught ignorant and unfortunate aa ' well as the better class of people that they are going to get something for nothing. That two and two, if han dled right, will make 7 or 8. Its the same old lie that the devil told Eve when he said if you eat of the for bidden fruit you will be equal with and have the Knowledge of God. People are fooled and doped by re make four. No matter how many New Deals are organized, this re mains a fact. When Mr. Roosevelut asks Government to cooperate with business instead of business being asked to cooperate with a defaulting Government, we’ll begin to get some where. Business is compelled to op erate on the basis of two and two HOW TO GET OUT OF THE CYCLONE CELLAR We doubt if any more pre posterous theory was ever ad vanced, outside of Alice-in-Won. derland or the never-never land of a Barrie or a Hans Anderson, than that a “strike of capital” had been deliberately launched because of resentment against the policies of the Administra tion ( says Louis Graves in the Chapel Hill Weekly. Capital does not operate that way. Persons and institutions that have capital want nothing so much as to employ it profit ably, and no feeling of spite is powerful enoufirh to make them do damage to their own finan cial interests. The msc.i that capital does not flow into productive enter prises is that people with mon- making four and it can’t cooperate; lief, by old age pensions, (most of with a Government that disregards | them wouldn't feed a bird thirty all laws of God and man. i days); just a sop to get people to The Republicans should feel thank-1 believe what has always been a lie. ful that they didn’t vote for Lan- ] what can the Republicans do don, considering the present depres- about it ?

Bell Awarded $3,276 in Damage Suit Former Moore County Auditor Wins Action Against City of Raleigh For Wife’s Fall « Cheater O. Bell, deputy State Au aitor and former auditor of Moore county, last week was awarded dam ages of $.^,276.35 against the CiCty of Raleigh for medical expenses, and loss of his wife's companionship re sulting from her serious injury in a street fall. A jury in Wake Superior Court re turned the verdict after a two-day trial with Judge N. A. Sinclair pre siding. Mrs. Bell, in a hearing of her suit last year, was awarded $2,000 dam ages. The case was appealed, but the city lost in the higher court also. It was indicated the city would ap peal last week's decision. The jury, in deciding the case awarded Bell $1,276.35 for medical expense incurred by reason of the accident. To that, the jury added $2,- 000 for loss of Mrs. Bell’s compan ionship. Mrs. Bell suffered permanent in jury to one leg when she stepped into a post hole near the sidewalk in her neighborhood. She has never recover ed fully and appeared in court with crutches. THOM.\S S.

Some of his dinners would almost equal some Jackson Day din ners of modem time. He had A. B. C, stores from Dan to Beersheba and there was no lack at time of the cocktail hour. He also had the preach ers bought off about as well as the “new deal.” However, when the hand writing appeared on the wall, Bel shazzar had to call in a member of one of the "sixty” families in order to get interpretation, (somewhat like Roosevelt called in business leaders a few days ago.) The handwriting is on the wall now just as then only in modem language instead of read ing "weighed in the balance and found wantingr” it reads “weighed in the balance and found to be in a hell of a fix.” Here are some interesting facts; A bale of cotton will buy less to day than ever before in the history of the united States. A pound of to bacco of regular grade will buy less today than ever before in the history of the United States. Where can a man invest a thousand dollars and feel safe about it? A man who labors is getting larger wages and realyl earning less than ever before in the history of the United States. Per Capita Debt at t'teak The people of the United States owe more money today than ever be fore in the history of the United States in time of peace. There are with. Prosperity is not by the num ber of dollars wc have in our pocket but by what we can buy with what few dollars we have. Pilfering will never make plenty. Why Business is Afraid Business has a right to be afraid of a business that runs itself in the hole nearly thirty thousand million dollars in five years. WTiy should I make five dollars to give four of it in taxes to a bunch of lieing politi cians to fool the simple and dope the hopeful foolish into looking for some- j thing for nothing? We have the money the brains and ' the backbone but it looks like after | five years of plu-perfect foolishness, I we’ve still suckers. You can’t tell folks what to do when they don’t want to hear. There isn’t anything much you can do. As old man Jarvis once remarked "There isn’t any ques tion about it, gentlemen; there has been a great letting do\vTi of the am bitions of the people.” Samson had too much power and he pulled down the temple, destroying himself and many others. Roosevelt has the power and it looks like anoth. er Samson act. All I have to say to the Republicans is this: Hold your self in readiness, take due notice thereof and govern yourselves ac cordingly; somebody will have to build it back and you’re all that’s left. WQiether people believe it or not, two and two still make four. - HERBERT F. SEA WELL, JR. Carthage, January 22, 1938.

Grains of Sand The New York Herald Tribune— his own paper—reported the other day that Walter Loppman was a guest at the Highland Pines Inn, Southern Pines. There's many a slop Twixt the cup and the lop. Reviewing Leslie Ford’s story in Pictorial Review, Katherine Shields said in last week’s Moore County News, Carthage: “Purely aside from the story it.TOlf, which is a good one, this reader couldn’t resist picking out a few cli matic and linguistic errors that the northern author failed to check up on, but wliich are glaringly appar ent to any native. As this sentence: ‘It was March, and March to a New Yorker should be blustering and win dy and cold; people shouldn’t be ey, and this means “small capi talists” as well a.s the Big Bus iness so frequently painted as villainous are fearful lest, if they make investments, their in vestments will be endangered by governmental attacks of one kind or another. If the Admin istration will restrict itself to correcting abuses and will quit lambasting business and indus try with such recklessness, abundant capital will come out of the cyclone cdlar and get to work. standing about without much on, drinking iced tea in the brilliant sunshine,’ If they do that in ‘Sand hurst’ during any typical March day, then the climate ia several states re moved from that in Carthage! Iced tea in March ? Brr ” You must come down see us some time, Miss Shields. We had dinner on the veranda last Sunday with no coat on, and it’s only January. In fact, we ate out of doors on Christ mas day, down here in the Sand hills. And we always have to stop hunt ing in March—it gets too hot for horso, hound and man. Hemp is worried since talk became rife the Norfolk Southern might dis continue passenger service between Raleigh and Charlotte. Protests have been filed with the State UUUties Commission by practically every vil lage and hamlet along the route, the Hemp Plain Dealer says. There is also much talk of discon tinuing passenger service on the train that runs between Aberdeen and Ashe boro, (except for the Aber- deen-Pinehurst Pullman haul) but we doubt if there’ll be much objec tion. If the conductor should discov er a passenger on that train aome day he’d faint from surprise. A survey of statistics show that the State of North Carolina exper ienced in 1937 a better year in agri culture and business thAn any since 1929. Postal receipts made new rec- orda for mnjr towns, and Fedenl and State Tevenuea set new high marks. BAKERS’ FOOD STORE Everything Good to Eat Dial 5681 Southern Pines, N. C.
