Friday, Octobar -??>. I'l W. Money H ell Spent The Federal Government during the seven years ending last June 30 spent $501,221,00(1 m North Carolina in financing those agencies es tablished in the main by the New Deal. It is a sizable amount, afl right, but reviewed m their individual light and measured in terms of ae complishments. the expenditures are not at all alarming. In fact, the unbiased can look upon the amount as money well spent To start off with the government has spent $100,701,000 111 financing the operations of the Agricultural Adjustment Administration Who would dare even suggest that the farmers of th'? State were not entitled to every cent they received, call it hand-outs or what-not? And who would suggsst that J he money hasn't been v. 11 spent'.' Tin Farm Security Administration spent $8. 146,000 during the seven-year period and re habilitated more farmers in that short time than rugged individualism would have rehabili tated in a full century. Of course the rchabili zution work could not recover the losses sus tained under the Hoovur administration. That would have been impossible, but there has been great good accomplished by the agency In addition to those two items. the govern ment spent 12,030,000' in maintaining extension services, vocational schools, research work and other activities that offer to brighten the lot of agriculture. To maintain its rivers and harbors, the gov ernment spent $8,186,000, an expenditure that even the tight Hoover administration would have approved The National Guard received $3,241,000 That is a large amount too, and it occasioned remarks that branded Roosevelt as a dictator. Today, Mr. Roosevelt is being attacked by those who criticised the expenditure for not having the country prepared for war. And today the na tional guard is m the service .rounding out prep arations for handling any emergency that might present itself. Unemployed youth was presenting a serious problem in early 1933. and before the year was spent, the Civilian Conservation Corps was cre ated. The government has spent $65,503,000 in rehabilitating the youth "f '1 ? land mi I i hart ting a course with "some future to it for those lads who were dillusioned and slapped in the face by the Hoover administration The Indians?those Indians whose fore bearers once owned this land received $64,000. Com pare this amount with the interest a few for tunate beings are receiving on government se curities and see for yourself that the Indians are not getting their just share Almost twelve million dollars, or $11,843,000 to be exact, were spent in financing the social security act. One can hardly be human and deny those payments to dependent children, to the blind and to those unfortunate souls who face the setting sun alone. A little over one million has been spent try ing to fit people into employment, but the task has been difficult because there wasn't enough work going on under Mr. Hoover to train young men in trades Hundreds of thousands of youths were help ed to complete their schooling and i ke out a living with the $6,558,000 spent bv the Na tional Youth Administration. The government spent $4,790,000 for public buildings, including postoffices demanded by the people. While North Carolina has been collecting five cents a gallon on gasoline to finance its road building program, the Federal Government collected one cent a gallon and turned around and spent $42,205,000 for road construction in tt>e State. It is true that more than a million of the amount was squandered in building a monumetnal bridge across the Albemarle, but it is quite evident that the Federal Government was interested in improving the Old North State. The Public Works Administration spent $11, 520.000 for the construction of armories, air stations and hospitals, and $22,751,000 for non Federal buildings. Included in this group are several school buildings in this county which possibly could not have been built had it not hi-en fur grants ,,r .iiH from the Federal Gov ernment And then there's the WPA. the agency that has been ridiculed and lambasted from coast to coast It is to he admitted that there are too many peanut politicians in the organization drawing breath and pay, but believe it or not, much good has been accomplished with the $81, JIWJJOU-spent -hy the agency during the seven year period The veterans of the last World War received $5.r>.82(i.0(K) for hospitalization or in pensions and insurance. This item is included in the list even though it was made possible over a Presi dential veto. During the early part of the New Deal's stay in Washington, $58,111,000 was spent under order to meet the emergency created by the Hoover administration Who knows but that 58 million staved off a revolution and renewed the hope and trust of millions of people in their government and in their fellowman? II the value received could be measured as accurately as the dollars spent can be counted, the people would clearly see that all the mil lions were well spent. Thi' Ifinoriml Majority Willi tin' newspaper columnists, including the half-bred and pen-drunk, threatening to throw the freedom of press into discard with their bunk, it would appear that the group, or many of them, are building themselves up as the pos sessors of the only brilliant minds of the cen tury. They not only point out every fault, but they also 111 their own sarcastic way and in a brazen mariner, point out what should be done and what shouldn't be done. No two have agreed so far. And now one of the smart boys comes out with the declaration that the ignorant major ity is for Roosevelt, that the all-wise guys, the guys who were pulled out of their own finan cial cess pools less than eight years ago are deserting Roosevelt The columnist does not say who the Roosevelt deserters are, but he does go 011 to say that many of the "wise" fel lovvs will vote lor Mr Roosevelt and apologize for no doing Many of those who have deserted Roosevelt recently were never his friends. There is doubt if thev ever were friends of the Democratic Party. Al Smith led the procession of disgruntl ed "master minds" four years ago, the people of this Nation expressing thanks to the Al mighty that he was never elected. Possibly Smith wanted Mr Roosevelt to stand aside four years ago and help slip him into the White House John Nance Garner hasn't said so but it is quite apparent that lie tucked his tail be tween Ins legs and went home sulking and pouting when Mr. Roosevelt did not buck the wishes of the people and bodily lift the poker faced Texan into the White House. Possibly Jim Farley, who has about hit his level as a sports promoter, was peeved when Mr. Roosevelt did not put him into the White House. And be cause Mr. Roosevelt allowed Democracy to run its course and name who it would, quite a few got mad. Others in the privileged class are irk ed and disturbed bv the social reforms effected by the Roosevelt administration. One columnist refers to the Willkiecrats as persons who have the intelligence and educa tion nr think a bout some of the" broader ques tions. On the same day that the columnist was branding the following of Roosevelt as the ig norant majority and the bolters as the educat ed elite, Paul Leonard, business lobbyist and appointed head of the Willkiecrat movement in North Carolina, was releasing the names of new recruits classed as North Carolina Dem ocratic bankers, manufacturers, attorneys and business men. According to the story released in Greensboro Sunday the following names ap pear in the list of those accepting posts on the Willkiecrats executive committee: E. P. Cof leld. genefal manager of the Erlanger Cotton Mills, Lexington, and M. R. Long, president of Greenville Spinners. Inc., and also operator of a Greenville tobacco warehouse. The story points out also that W B. Kiker, Rcidsville con tractor who was recently awarded the contract for repairing the Roanoke River fill, is a prom inent member of the Willkiecrat executive com mittee in North Carolina. Regardless of personal grievances, it is dif ficult to understand how a tobacco warehouse man can in the face of all the facts turn to Wendell Willkie. But being in that ignorant majority, we just don't have the power to un derstand the action of the Willkiecrats. Turnage Theatre ? Washington, N. C. October 17 "So You Won't Tulk" JOE t.

By REV. t. I. STARVES Putor. MrthodiM Church 1 There is a conflict between the j flesh and the Spirit This is evident to those of us who have tried to ov-1 ermine the evil allurements of the | flesh. In fact, the Christian's life is . one long conflict between opposing I forces It is a conflict between the 1 old nature in us before redemption j and the new nature and principles implanted in us by the renewing j work of the Holy Spirft. St. Paul says ! the flesh lusteth against the Spirit and the Spirit against the flesh and these are contrary one to the other, | so ye cannot do the things that ye would. Flesh and Spirit are as opposite as two extremes. One yielding to the flesh cannot wholly live in the Spir it, and vice versa. Jesus recognized this conflict, and realized that they who would be Christians must face it. When he took the three disciples with Him to the garden just before His betrayal, leaving them near the gate while He withdrew from them in order to be alone with the Father. He bade them also to watch and pray for Him. Soon He returned and found them sleeping. Again He left them with the re quest that they watch and pray with him. On coming again and finding them asleep, as he left them he again urged them to watch and pray, sav ing the Spirit indeed is willing but the flesh is weak. Jesus knew they were not deliberately negligent or indifferent to his request. He knew they loved Him and He knew He loved them. He believed they were anxious to watch With Him and to pray with Him in this hour of trial, but He also recognized that they were having the experience of a conflict. In spirit they were with Him and willing to watch, but the flesh was weak, and their eyes were heavy with sleep St. Paul also realized that there was a conflict between the flesh and the spirit. In the sixth chapter of this same letter to Gala tians he urges the Galatian people: "Be not deceived. God is not mock ed, for whatsoever a man seweth that shall he also reap. For he that sow eth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption, but he that soweth to the spirit shall of the spirit reap life everlasting " With Paul the successful Christian was the man who was able to face the conflicts of life as represented by the flesh and the spirit, and give the spirit the right of way. No man can hope to succeed as a Christian who has not learned to subdue the flesh and exalt the upirit. NOTICE OF RE SALE North Carolina, Martin County. I the Superior Court.
