There it. no more attractive sideline for any farmer than poultry raising. It is the one thing on the farm that even the children can attend to. The scraps of the table form a large part of a chicken’s diet and the balance of the feed can b. raised by a progressive fanner. ' Egss, fryers and roasters are in demand the year around. Halifax County farmers should give this a thought and plan a brood for 1930-31. Which leads us on to the idea that Roanoke Rapids should have a central market with two main purposes. First that there might lie a cen tral place where the country people could bring their poultry and vegetables for retail sale instead of hawking them around the streets of the Twin Cities Secondly, that this might be made a cen tral place for bringing farm products to be ship ped in bulk to the cities. If a certain day were set. we will say, when the count;-.- people could bring their eggs to town and recoil e the market price for them at this City Market, then the eggs could be crat- d and ship; erf > d>a:nt cities at a very reasonable cost. Com mission merchants, we believe they call them. Why not let tile city itself go into business as a ccr.innission merchant? iN STRY AND THE CHURCH A study < the church census of North Caro lina for ' -hows that less than half of the peo ple of the ‘ te are church members. It i- surprising how widely the counties vary in the ratio of the population belonging to the 67 religious denominations of the state. The range is from 75 per cent in Hertford! County to 28 per rent in Stokes County. Geogra phical positions means little as the best ranking group—the northeastern counties—adjoin the lowest ranking group—the nearby cotton-tobacco counties centering around Wilson. As a general rule it appears the live-at-home rural counties rank high in church membership; combination cotton-tobacco and mountain counties rank low; industrial counties rank just below the state average of 49 per cent. Halifax County, cotton-tobacco-industrial,, has 23,175 church members, a percentage of 47 or just below the state average. Northampton, purely agricultural, ranks high with 58 per cent church membership. It is claimed the same is true members. But to the South of us, Nash shows only 37 per cent and Edgecombe has 29 per cent, the latter being next to last in the counties of the State. Observer? say the low rank of the cotton-to bacco counties is due to the system of tenant farming; that tenants are prone to disregard church mmebership. It is claimed the same is true of school attendance. All of which is another black eye at the tenant system of farming. It is gratifying to know that industrial coun ties rank average in church membership as some of the “blue-bloods” would make it appear that mill workers are just about the lowest in the scale of human life. As a matter of fact, industrial counties all over the state rank high, not only in church membership, but also in school attend ance. Snubbing aristocracy would well remember that North Carolina mill workers are recruited from the farms of the State and from those coun ties ranking highest in church membership. With jreatcr stablization of industry, we predict the industrial sections of the state would lead in .■’uuxh membership. PROSPERITY AND PROHIBTION It is now generally admitted that the 1932 ! i. ntial campaign will be fought out on two pro cavity and prohibition.

Almost . ary Democratic Senatorial u'.v: tioti in tile Ntiiirt, except ir the solid South this year has been a wet. Wet Democrats v.-on eruu torial nominations in Illinois, Pennsylvania New Jersey, Nebraska, and even Ohio, Prohibition’s birthplace. While dry Senator Walsh was renomi nated in Montana, it is well known that Montana is as wet n? any state in the Nation and the Sena tor will follow the party platform. Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Delaware are still to hold De mocratic primaries. It is agreed that all nominees from these States will be wets. Looming as the most formidable candidate for Democracy is Franklin D. Roosevelt. Gover nor of New York. His reelection in November as Governor w:,l practically assure him the nomi nation for President. He is feared by the Republi cans and the mighty machine of State and Nation I will be harnessed against hint in November to I prevent his reelection. Herculean efforts will be made by the pres ent administration in Washington to stimulate busine- s in 1931 in order that the average voter may forget the horrors of 1929 and 1930. Mr. Hoover will again be the nominee in 1932, but it will be a different story. It is our belief that if the elections were to be held this year. A1 Smith, Rum, Romanism. Tammany , full and all, would sweep the country. Those forces which were so powerful in 1928 have lost their Samsonian hair and would avail little against the popular wave which would today dis regavd the issues which loomed so large two years ago. However, is is doubtful if Smith will even consider the nomination. He is a good friend of Franklin Roosevelt, who is wet and popular, but i who is Protestant and of one of the first families of the land. Of course, there will be other issues. Many of them will be raised to obscure main issues and to confuse the voter. Eut glaring through the fog like powerful search lights will be the two su preme is, ups of the hour: Prosperity and Prohi bition; or might we say, the lack of both. -n SUPPORT OR CONTROL State supported public schools has a mighty good sound to many taxpayers who feel that they are carrying too heavy a load of local taxation for the aid of public education. But state con trolled public schools might not appeal so favor ably to those who feel that they would like the several communities to retain some voice in the matter of who controls their schools. In a measure we now have state controlled public schools, but this control has its limits and there are not a few people who feel that these limits should be still more restricted. The present system of control does in a measure prescribe the amount of school tax that each community or county shall levy. But in the final analysis eacli community or county has the right to say what provisions it shall order for schools, the kind of buildings and equipment it shall have and to a large extent the sort of teachers it will employ The state ha« not yet ordered any community to erect a better school building or levy a special district tax. It does say that each child must have a constitutional six months term. The people themselves voted that into the constitution. We dare say the majority of them would not care to take it out. And when this compulsion was writ ten into our fundamental law the people took it up THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN Copyright. wC3 on themselves the obligation to main tain it. But a large measure of free dom of operation is still left to the localities. There have been enroach monts by the st: • from"time to time. But if the entire duly.of support were turned over to the state it would.be | difficult to see now any local self control of school.- could be retained. In no other instance where the state provides for the full support of a pub lic institution is the matter cf control L-ft to local agencies. It is entirely p -sible that some ar rangements might be made for even more financial aid from state sources for the public schools. But there is : >cm for grave doubt as to the advis ability of surrendering the last \vs-| tige of local authority in school mat ters. The present measure of state control is probably mainly designed to secure uniformity of opportunity for all children of the state. But unifor mity and centralisation of control are entirely different propositions. Un der the present system we do retain the right to kick, under a state sup ported and controlled system we would probably have to surrender ■ von that privilege. We’d merely be dependencies and not stockholders. Di rectly or indirectly, we would still he paying. No system is possible that would relieve the three million N‘rth Carolinians from paying the bills. We could merely change collect ors and paymasters—as well as task masters.—(Lexington Dispatch.)
