PAGE TWO The Rocky Mount Herald Published Erery Friday Ht Kooky Mount, North Caro lina, by the Kooky Mount Herald Publishing Company Entered as second-class mat er January 19, 19IH, at, the post office at Rocky Mount, North Carolina under he Act of March 3, 1879 HANCOCK FORMALLY OFFERS Hickory Daily Record Congressman Frank Hancock has formal ly presented his candidacy for the United States Senate, in a clearcut statement of his reasons for entering the race against Sen. Robert R. Reynolds. Apparently, the clowning proclivities of the Asheville man are in a measure respon sible for the decision of Representative Hancock who regards the high office as se rious business, entitled to the best service a man can give. The flippancy with which "Our Bob" has discharged his duties as Senator has proved quite galling to those trtiio take a conscientious attitude and have some regard for dignity, Mr. Hancock frank ly indicates. As he put it, "a glance into either the past or the future offers convinc ing: proof that the people of North Carolina deserve and expect of their representatives a forthrightness and a sober dependability." The record believes that Congressman Hancock has done well to "come clean" with the proposition that the reason he is giv ing up his seat in the House, which nobody denies he could have had again for the ask ing, is because he is convinced that a ma jority of the people of this state are thor oughly dissatisfied with the type of Senator . they have in "Our Bob." To all who have felt a sense of mingled embarrassment and disgust as a conse quence of the antics that have marked the official career of Rambling Robert, as he has cavorted hither and yon for the past five years, the Hancock pronouncement will come as a message of hope and good cheer The subdued but none the less definite bid which Mr. Hancock made for the sup port of the Drys was regarded by many as the most surprising feature; of his opening address. Two-pot-shots were taken at the Junior Senator by innuendoes concerning Reynolds' espousal of the cause of John Barleycorn in making his maiden speech "in support of bar rooms for the District of Columbia," and by twitting him for fathering a bill pro viding that liquor "be given to dumb ani mals." The most direct hint which amounts al most to a promise to the forces of Cale Burgess, if The Record mistakes not, was an expression of willingness to leave to "our intelligent people by referendum" the determination of "the sort of liquor laws they and their pets may want." TREES INSTEAD OF ROSEMARY FOR REMEMBRANCE The Smithfield Herald Miss Pauline Smith, State Better Homes chairman, in her address at the home de monstration club banquet in Selma Friday night, told this story: An old colored woman in Eastern North Carolina had married a husband who was the "rolling" type of farm tenant. When asked why they moved so much, the old woman said: "I don't know. When January first rolls around, my husband just nacher ly rolls along, too, and of cose I goes with him. But there's always one thing I do. I leaves the place better than I found it. I leaves a few collards, a turnip patch, a fig bush—and I always plant at least one tree." This old Negro's philosophy of leaving behind something worth while, something tangible that the next tenants can enjoy is A SAFE DEPOSIT BOX IN OUR VAULT WILL PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES . Cost is Less than 1 cent per Day ( • 1 ■ ! . i The Planters National Bank And Trust Company MEMBERS: Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation worthy of emulation. The same idea moti vates Bishop Kern's Plant-A-Tree club. He is urging every Methodist preacher to plant a tree on church or parsonage grounds, and he publishes on his page in the North Carolina Christian Advocate a list of those cooperating. "The groves were God's first temples," and even a single tree can bring peace and quiet and inspiration to one's sur roundings. The old Negro woman who would be re membered by the planting of a tree, may never have heard the lines of Joyce Kilmer but hers was a kindred spirit when it comes to the appreciation of trees. She doubtless felt with the poet: "I think that I shall never see A poem lovely as a tree. A tree whose hungry mouth is prest Against the earth's sweet, flowing breast; A tree that looks at God all day And lifts her leafy arms to pray; A tree that may in summer wear A nest of robins in her hair; Upon whose bosom snow has lain; Who intimately lives with rain." TWO PIECES OF THE PATTERN Hertford County Herald Production control on the farms, assur ing farmers reasonable prices for products and giving protection against grinding pov erty brought on by cultivation of excessive acreage and production of unwanted sur pluses, is one thing; but it is not unlikely that many supporters of the farm program in the South will see President Roosevelt's proposals for higher wages and better hours for wage-earners in this territory as quite another thing entirely. The one, however, is as necessary for enduring prosperity in the South as the other. This message and the determination of the president to carry the benefits of recovery to Southern wage earners as well as to the farmers of the na tion was voiced with Roosevelt's usual di rictness and boldness when he spoke at Gainesville, Ga., a few days ago at the ded ication of Roosevelt Square in that city in hig honor. He said: "The purchasing power of the millions of Americans in this whole area is too low. Most men and women who work for wages in this whole area get wages which are far too low. On the present scale of wages and therefore on the present scale of buying power, the south can not and will not suc ceed ) n establishing successful new indus tries. "Efficiency in operating industries goes hand in hand with good pay and the indus tries of the south can not compete with in dustries in other parts of the country, the north, the middle west and the far west un less the buying power of the south makes possible the highest kind of .efficiency." If we want progress, if we want higher standards of living, if we want better schools, health, hospitals, highways, and a stimulation of business and industry, the way to these is by increasing the buying power and the efficiency of the workers of the south. These things can be had only by increasing the buying power of the peo ple, wage-earners as Well as farmers. Greater buying power and greater efficien cy will come only as wages are increased. Until we accept this fact, the farmer and the employer, we will be retarding the pro gress and prosperity that we seek. For bet ter prices for the farmers' products and better pay for the wage-earner are each but a piece out of the pattern from which permanent program for this section of the country must be cut.
