PAGE TWO The Rocky Mount Herald Published Every Friday at Rocky Mount, North Caro lina, by the Rocky Mount Herald Publishing Company TED J. GREEN News Editor and Manager M. BULLUCK Assi:taut Editor Entered as second-class mat er January 18, 1934, at the post office at Rocky Mount, North Carolina under ihe Act of March 3, 187 if Advertising rates reasonable, and furnished to pros pective advertisers on request Subscription Rates: One Year, $1.00; 6 Months, 60s '•y • ■ Publication Office: Second Ploor Daniels Building, Bocky Mount, Edgecombe County, North Carolina THE POOR EDITOR Greenville News Leader The editor of a newspaper is often hard pressed to select suitable subjects for the editorials that he mußt write for his column. Contrary to much popular opinion the av erage editot does not sit' in his office, think ing up something to criticize. As a matter of fact, most of the time he shrinks from the role of critic although very often it be comes his duty, as he it, to warn the public about possible evils. The editor knows how well the average person likes soft soap and the easiest way to fortune and good feeling is to keep his mouth shut regardless of what goes on. Editorials have a distinct place in any newspaper that Claims the right to circulate attibng thinking people. It is their function to inform, to educate, to stimulate thought and, whenever possible, to express public opinion or check emotional outbursts that threaten sound public performance. The editor of the News-Leader doesn't expect every body to agree with opinions expressed in these columns. That would be too bad, because even the editor doesn't know it all. The chances are, however, if the editor is alert and keeps up with events throughout the world, that he can add some thing to a discussion of most subjects. It can do no harm for readers to get the view point of a writer who, at least, should be sincere, disinterested and unselfish in dis cussing current topics- We have no idea that we are right on ev erything that we think. Very often, it hap pens that a given community overemphasiz es one phase of a proposition and an intel ligent article can present other factors that should be considered. Naturally, when selfish forces are trying to put something over, for tneir own profit, such an article causes feel ing. While there are exceptions, in most cades where one hears a citizen! denouncing a writer the Cause is hidden in the selfish ness of the critic. Readers of The News-Leader are invited to send in their views on topics of general interest. They are asked to be brief, to confine themselves to legitimate discussion and not tb use the newspaper as a vehicle to air private grudges and proclaim person alities. Whether the writer of such an ar ticle agrees with the views of this newspa per is immaterial. If the latter is of gen eral interest it will be published. No use in trying to make yourself think this is spring. We are almost sure to have more cold weather, but it is certainly nice while it lasts. 1 IF YOU MAKE NO WILL WHO WILL RECEIVE YOUR PROPERTY? DISCUSS PLANS FOR MAKING YOUR WILL WITH US *» " I * f The Planters National Bank And Trust Company MEMBER!? : Federal Reserve System, \ Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation BOOK, AN EXILE FOR HALF CENTURY RETURNS A man returned a book to the Cleveland. Ohio, public library the other daywhich he had borrowed from that library forty-nine years ago! Now say the world isn't grow ing better. But then maybe it was fear rather than honesty that was the cause of his straight forward dealing. It is said the name of the! book was, "The Whispering Pine," and it's a risky business to have, something around that's a "whispering" something, particular ly jf that something knows something on you. So maybe it was just plain wisdom to re-establish the whispering volume back into its rightful home. But, even so, its return brings up an in teresting thought: Wouldn't it be wonder ful if everything that has been borrowed within the last forty-nine years could be car ried back home to its rightful owner! What a home-coming that would be! Talk about enlarging the buying power. The buying power would simply be torn down and built bigger. History would faint. Because his tory has never seeh a thing like that.—Clip ped. A FALLACY EXPOSED The Zebulon Record After eight moriths of trying out county control in 37 counties of N; C., onie finds a puzzle, a riddle, an engima, a mystery or something of the sort that is hard to solve. An article in the Wilson Times tells us that after catching and convincing more than two score of the worst bootleggers in the county some time ago, that these same fel lows are again selling ABC and bootleg li quor. It seems that about thd only thing the law does is to give a few extra jobs and more and better liquor. Yet one of the stock arguments of the wets was that good li quor sold at reasonable prices would put the bootlegger out of business. Who Got My Liquor? During the eight months of county AB control the 37 counties selling liquor sold $4,446,541.36 worth of hard liquor. Down in Bertie county the per capita was onl ysl.- 85, but in Wake it climbed to $6.92 average for every man, woman and child in the county. Across in Durham, John Sprunt Hill's county, the per capita for the eight months was $10.36. The price on many high grade liquors will shortly be reduced, according to statements from the State Control Board. One wonders why, to stimulate business, to meet bootleg competition, or to prevent possible reve nue? commissioner John Swain of Raleigh, tells us that there will be no profit from Wake's liquor stores this year owing to the expending of $142,000 in establishing the stores. And he also 3tates that the people may not expect any tax reduction because all the profit will be needed for relief work. Who cares just so generous old Wake makes enough to bury the drunks and care for the widows, orphans and paupers its good liquor makes! One thing) that cannot 'be stressed too much in a farming community: Sow seed of known origin. Certified seed, if you can af ford them, but anyway onl ythose seed whose immediate antecedents you know. No small investment can pay so well aa treating cotton seed before planting. If you do not know how this is done, ask W. B. Callihan ot John Anderson.
