THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS- ROSEMARY fr~" y^North Cerolina i \ /PRESS ASSOCIATION j CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editor Entered as Second Class matter Apr.l •>rc, .at - • Postoffice at F.< anake Rapids, North 0 r roiina, under A j>f March 3rd, IST'J. PRIN TERS. LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS | ASKING FOR CREDIT Standing beside the cash register of one of our local merchants last week, we listened to a pitiful “hard-luck” story told by a resident who wanted what tire merchant had, needed it. but had no money to pay nor could he truthfully prom-1 ise the merchant when he would pay it. But lie j did say. “Brother, when I do get some money. • this is the first thing I will pay for.” He sounded sincere. “What would you do?”, the merchant asked us. “He sounds honest. I believe I would let him have it.” was our answer. The merchant did so. A few minutes later, another merchant entered j the store ami we asked him about the man. \Y hat j he said was plenty. Had he been in the store when the man was pleading his case, there would have been no credit extended. In less tnan an hour, there were three more similar cases in that one store. That merchant now has hundreds of dollars on his books. How long can he stand it? How in the world can he know when a man or woman is telling the truth about their intentions to pay? j Why should his store, because he operates a credit business, bear the brunt when times are hard and get no added compensation for it when times are good? The only sound policy we can offer is for each store to extend credit only to those persons who have patronized them and paid them when money was free and easy. Such is business. ' BUSINESS IS BETTER There appeared by the thousands last week in the New York Stock Exchange and along the financial streets of the City, little lapel buttons: “Business is Better.' They were given away by an optomistic member of the Exchange. Reports are that some took them with a ; grunt of diseain, only to later break into broad ; grins as they were “kidded” by their friends. There was much joking and wise-cracking con cerning the buttons and their wearers. But thee’ turned the trick. Everybody felt better and when the sun had set that day, thev stock market was stronger than it had been for,1 weeks. What a littie thing it takes to change <i--- jj feat into victory, a frown into a smile. Less ; grouching and “belly-aching” will work wonders 1 toward bringing back better times. We have plenty of it here. Some days we even feel that way ourselves. But like prodding a sore tooth, it doesn’t help matters one single bit and eventually makes- things worse. »* -u DAiLY SCHOOL PROBLEMS We have over 2.000 school children and 67 teachers in the Twin Cities. With the buildings and equipment necessary to properly educate these children, this school system of ours repre sents the largest industry in the community, ex cepting the mills. We have problems arising ev ery day whicn must be worked out to the best ad vantage of the majority; many of these problems are peculiar to this community alone. They must be settled quickly. What we would like to know is how all these daily problems would be settled satisfactorily if our school system were under State supervision, as some would have it, with every action neces-| sitating approval of some individual or depart ment over in Raleigh. TESTS FOR AUTO DRIVERS A state official made the statement last week that 5? per cent of the automobile acci dents can be attributed to 1. Persons driving in the middle of the road. 2. Persons failing to stop when driving into main roads and streets from side roads or streets. This statement can lie borne out in part by an accident which took place here Sunday even ing in front of the Presbyterian Church. A mo *. rtycle driver coming up the Avenue toward Rosemary crashed into an automobile that was t 'mir.g in the opposite direction and turning to the li ft at the intersection. The crash came just a< the car driver passed the middle of the inter sec ion. This particular accident can be blamed tc tii drivers. The car driver turned across the road too soon and the motorcycle rider was travel ing at too great a rate of speed in passing an in tersection. The letter al-o appeared to. lack any control of his machine. Of course there may be some consolation to wreck* d autoists to Know they were not to blame for an accident. They are welcome to what con solation they can derive from that knowledge. it that will not pay for wrecked cars and ne'v ■ to say nothing of injuries which may result and sometimes death. The best alibi we know of is to drive so cat fully that chances for accidents are reduced to ;;mum. We realize fully that even the most careful driver is subject to accidents wholly be yond his control because with as many cars or the roads as there are there are bound to be a cer tain number of plain darn fools (and we use that term with the full knowledge of the Scriptural consequences) who have no more business with a car than a three year old child. In fact, if put to an intelligence test, they would not pass the three year old score. Which leads us to the point that a set of i simple rules should be compulsory before a driv er's license could be obtained. Society would he amazed at the number of half-wits, morons, and incompetents endangering the lives of millions who daily traverse our streets and highways. And we believe a further examination would show that this type of person usually operates what is known as a junk car. not a second-hand ar even third-hand vehicle, but one which has passed through many hands and which is totally unfit to be allowed on the highways; entirely out >f place today when speed, perfect braking, test ed steering apparatus and good lights are ab-o utely essential. AN ARCTIC TRAGEDY After 33 years, a mystery of the Arctic has teen partial!', cleared up by the finding of the •emains of Salomon A. Andree and one of his •ompanions on an uninhabited island in the far forth. Some equipment and records were also bund frozen in the ice. Andree was a distinguished Swedish aero taut and engineer, who had made several notable taUoon flights before he set out on his fatal ex pedition at the age of 12. With two companions, fils Strindberg and Knul Fraenkel, he ascended n a balloon from Danes’ Island on July 11, 1897, vith the idea of drifting over the North Pole. It vas hoped to later reach Alaska or some other and, whence they might make their way home. Two days after their departure a message nought back by a carrier pigeon indicated that they were being carried far off their intended course by unfavorable winds. Nothing more was ever heard of the brave adventurers until their remains were found a few days ago. The Andree undertaking was hazardous, ev en foolhardy. Under the most favorable weather conditions the chances were overwhelmingly against its success, as the participants well knew before they set out. The lure of adventure claim ed them as its victims, as it has claimed many of the world’s bravest in all ages. HERE TODAY, GONE TOMORROW A Charlotte Newspaper, seeing S35.000 leave there this week via the circus route, comments that times are not so hard after all. Rosemary merchants, rowing the merry-go-round, prob ably agree. One bad feature of such fly-by-night enter prises is that they take all, leave nothing. When I business grows dull, they pass on to greener pas tures. Your local merchant must stick it out. 'JTHINGS ia/ii' HEVEI* HAPPEM Inter-natT Cartoon C ., N. A. i \ WIAS.-B'JT '(C'J .
