Monday Afternoon. August 13, 1931

By Rev.
A. Purnell Bailey
, '. "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from
speaking guile."
A housewife complained to a friend visiting her
that her 'next-door neighbor was -a -sloppy house
keeper, her children were ill-kept, her house was
dirty, and one was almost disgraced by living next
to her
"Why look," she said. "at: those. clothes she has
hung out on the line. See the ditty streaks up and
down those sheets and pillow cases."
The friend walked to the window, raised it, and
peered out.
"It appears, my dear," said the visitor, "That
the clothes are very clean; the streaks that you see
are on your own window."
"Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from
speaking guile."
Hungry Bears Eat Steaks
There are two distinct .schools of thought
in Haywood relative to killing game out of
season, even when it attacks cattle in the pas
ture. ...... V ; :'-;'' :
Hunting is one of the chief recreations in
this area, and hundreds of 'true sportsmen
take their hobby seriously. :
On the other hand, cattle raising is the sin
gle largest cash income for the Haywood
' larms.
Right now it seems that some farmsare suf
, fering from roaming bears, as the cattle in
pastures near the restricted forest areas are
; being killed by hungry bears. Cattlemen' can-
not" afford to suffer such losses, and yet under
existing laws, are prohibited from doing more
J than killing the bear when found in the act
rof killing cattle. And of course, the cattle are
..killed at night when the farmers are asleep.
' There should be a practical solution to this
; ;pr6blem, and with all forces working togeth
J Jhe solution should be easily found.
; ;Better Driving Records
; Drunken driving during July showed a de
! cided decline, according to the Department of
I pvlotor Vehicles. All told', there were 450 mot-
0Tlsis who lost their driving privileges, which
; was 196 from the 646 mark set in June. Last
July 561 Jicenses were rev(kjed,,,
-', C-.'For the "month 'bf'JuTy, 967 drivers lost
! ."their license to drive, which brings the total
; .yto 6,997 for the year, plus 2,464 suspensions.
Encouraging News For Dairymen
The demands for milk in , Norths Carolina
is expected to exceed the .suptjr.'py ihe last
of this month, according to the bulletin ol the
Department of Agriculture. .
The report points out that the shortage is
expected to last through the fall months.
Another interesting featyre. of the. report
was that milk purchases from producers dur
ing June were about 11 percent above June
1950 and fluid sales to consumers were about
........ r . . .
12 percent higher for the same period.
Vith Haywood a dairying county, such of
ficial news is indeed encouraging. ' v

Two Flower Shows of Merit 1
The two flower shows scheduled for Hay
wood here and at Clyde will afford an oppor
tunity of seeing some outstanding displays
of colorful arrangements of native blooms.
Both shows last year attracted wide atten
tion, and interest already displayed this year
in the events indicates that the entries will be
far ahead of last year.
It is understood that many flower growers
of the rural areas will have displays this year,
and these added to what the women in town
plan to display will present a show of merit.
Both shows will be well worth the time to
visit.

A Happy Ending
We are happy that the Town Board of Ald
ermen have 'arranged to provide a reserved
parking space for Assistant Fire Chief Felix
Stovall. The department needs the services of
Stovall, and his ability as a fireman is well
known, with the some 20 years of experience
back of him.
A volunteer fire department is unlike' a full
paid department, and that is all the more rea
son that men who have proven themselves
capable, should be kept at key posts.
The Unsolid South
For a long time, the South was spoken of
as politically "solid." That was in the days
B.T. before Truman.
In the 1943 presidential election, the eleven
strictly Southern states gave Trunin 2,557,
402 votes while 2,555,766 votes were, cast a
gainst him. This means that Truman had a
majoriy of only 1636 out of a total of 5,113,
168 votes in the Democratic South.
Such, an even division of votes was not re
flected, however, in the electoral . college,
where these slates gave Truman SB votes and
Thurmond 39. - . - -
Seven of these states, with an electoral
vote of 69, actually returned a majority a
gainst Truman, but in three of them the vote
was split between Thurmond and 'Dewey,
and 'they gave their electors to Truman.
It is early to make predictions for 1952 and
much depends on the party platform and the
party nominees. But this much- is certain
the South is no longer a political solid. Many
people have come to realize that party labels
have little meaning, and plan to vote as in
dependents. 5 '
There is a growing stntiment that the peo
ple of this country should vote a .strajght
American ticket, and this newspaper'beiieves
that such a course would be good for the
country. The Manchester (Tenn.) Times-.

to escape from would appear to
be the terrible responsibility that

duration of a television program.
