THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editoi Entered as Sworn! Class matter April Oi l. 191J. at thi Postoffice at P.eanok* Kapids, North Carolina, under Ad Df March 3vd, 1879. PRINTERS, LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVER'S RELIGION IN THE HILLS Josephus Daniels, in his editorial correspond ence to the News and Observer, asks himself the question, "Are mountain people more religious than those of the plains or coast?” Air. Daniels is sojourning at Lake Junaluska in a most re ligious atmosphere, well in keeping with the brac ing ozone of the hill section. He never does answer the question out and out or Yes and No But he leads us to recall other mountain days ir a section very similar to his pre.-ent location. W'e well remember the funeral of Uncle Pete Combs. It was just about the biggest ever held in those hills. Must have been at least a thous and people, counting those coming and going all day. Took four preachers in relays. They start ed preaching at early morn and took it in sec tions, stopped for lunch, began again and preach ed until late afternoon. City folks who complafti because their preacher goes over the half hour limit should get a dose of some mountain preach ing if they want to appreciate their pastors. Of course, you understand that Uncle Pete had been buried for a year. But that has noth ing to do with the funeral. In the mountains, far from city improvements, burials are made in a hurry. Too soon to get word to all the rela tives and friends, too soon to make the necesary arrangements for handling a huge crowd. mere is nothing wrong in tne assertion mat the mountain funeral is the biggest religious and social event of the season. It is about the only time when big crowds congregate, when friends over on the other side of the ridge can come vis iting. Naturally, the young folks, being much the same the world over, weary of preaching af ter the first few hours and betake themselves to sports and contests. There’s plenty of liquor and Mr. Daniels, on investigation, would find just as much differ ence in the mountaineer’s attitude about this question from his own as there is in religious and social customs, In fact, church socials are not a complete success, to their way of thinking without plenty of "Refreshments.” And there is nothing morally wrong about in a country where everybody makes a little for the home use, al ways have, probably always will. It is as common up there in the hills as coffee or tea down here; in fact, we have seen it served the same way. in a cup on the table with a meal, three times a day. Most mountain people, especially the old na tives, look with scorn on modern methods of re ligion. They are not usualy demonstrative but they don't mind showing their religious fervor. No one can say who is the most religious or whose methods are the best. We do assert, how ever .that the religion of the mountaineer and any other people far from the city and what we know as civilization means much more to them than to us in the cities. They have more time to give to it. While we discuss automobiles, air planes, golf and other sports, taxation problems and tree sittmg, their chief topics of conversa tion, their chief food for thought, are local poli tics and religion. By necessity, they are home loving. For the simple reason that they can’t get away. They are hemmed in by the towering hills. Roads are expensive and scarce. Modern improvements are the same. They are still primitive in their way . of .living. Likewise in their religion. Who is to judge which is the best? Who can tell what that same mountaineer would be with good roads, automobiles, bright lights and the thousand and one modern inventions and improvements which conuime the city man’s time and thoughts? Ever go often. The Herald receives a letter it would like to publish but the nature of it is such that the writer fails to sign his name. Let . ters or criticisms of such nature will not be print ed without the name of the writer. FARM BOARD’S ADVICE During the last few weeks the Federal Farm Board has made repeated appeals to farmers to reduce their acreage of crops of which there is now a world surplus, especially wheat and cotton. The fart that the board lias been constrained to make these appeals direct to the farmers is evidence that Chairman Legge and his fellcw members rocogm-e the futility of trying to over come the law of supply and demand by artificial means. It is. also evident that the so-called farm re lief act will n t automatically bring relief or pros perity to the American farmer. The farmer must cooperate in at least two ways: He must curtail crops of which there Is a world surplus, and he must organire f-r cooperative) marketing pur poses. If the farmers of the country could be in duced to do these things, themselves there would be little need of a Farm Board or the costly gov 'ernment machinery which its establishment has made necessary. SENATORIAL HOUSE CLEANING Fifty thousand Republican voters in Alabama are urged by their leaders to vote for J. Thomas (Tom-Tom! Heflin, present Democratic U. S. Sen ator from that state, who is running as an inde pendent this Fall. Not content with urging their voters thus, the Republican leaders of the state refused to bring out a candidate on the Republican ticket. The race will be run between Heflin and the regu lar nominee of the Democratic party, John H. Bankhead . It is barely possible the voters of Alabama will reelect Heflin. If they do. it will be by a nar row margin and will be due to the few Republi can voters of the State who will hold the balance of power in this case. Republican leaders are doubtful of Heflin’s success. They care less. But they have seen and grasped a wonderful oppor tunity to cause a permanent split in the Demo cratic party of the State. The only way their clever scheme can go aw ry is for these Democrats of Alabama who have been considering Heflin, for any one of several reasons, to vote for their party nominee and com pletely snow under the Republican-Discontent combination. There is no comparison in the race in Ala bama and that recently held in our own State; no more comparison in the race than in the men. That both Simmons and Heflin opposed Smith’s candidacy for President is the only grounds of similiarity. And there it ends. North Carolina leaders felt they could de feat Simmons in a regular primary and did. Ala bama leaders refused to let their Arnold bear even the cognomen of Democracy. Simmons did not actively subscribe to the program of vinification used against Smith. Heflin not only gave it his moral support bu*- used his influence and lent his voice to the nastiest campaign in history. Sim mons is a learned mr.n who was revered and res pected throughout the h r.Heflin is a bell-ring ing, horn-tooting demagogue, playing to the gal laries, working upon the prejudices c: die Ignor ant, unliked by his contemporaries and a disgrace to the United States Senate. Simmons worked hard and accomplished much during his tenure of [office. Heflin cannot claim a single constructive deed: he k at his best as an attacker, a ridiculer, a destructicnist. The South has progressed far in the past ifew .vears ot industrial growth. Vast improve ment can be seen and felt throughout the land i In this matter of Senators, however, we have not kept pace. A housecleaning of Heflins, Bleases and a few others of that ilk is in order for the South to take its place in the Senate halls on a parity with other sections of the Nation.
