AUGUST 9, 1934 Something pew under the Southern sua comes with the news that in Louisiana a group of negroes lynched another member of their race, as a result of what they thought to be improper actions towards a young negress. Departing from the ancient knotted-r pe nvetlu.xi the negroes took their victim :ato the woods and literally Peat him to death. Strange how long it has taken the southern negro to adopt the Caucasian practice of taking the law into his own hands. He has been a slow puptl in th;s detail William S. Vare, one or the last of the old-time iron-fist political bosses, is dead after having held virtual control of the city cf Philadelphia for near a generation. The Republican dynasty which is thus ended dates back more than fifty years to the colorful days of Matt Quay, Boise Penrose and Jim MeXichoI, and interestingly enough Is said to have had its origin in the days Thadueus Stevens, arch fpt of Abraham Lincoln II was built and cemented together by Stevens acid handed down virtually iulacf to the various successors. It is to be- doubted il America will experience another lay pt political dictation such as was known sii the days of Tweed. Or ok or. Penrose or Vare. \\ HERE I > HEAVEN ' Rcw d 11. BivnUhll Jr. local Moth odist pastor, was approached, by a Boone professional man the other day with the query, Where is Heaven." and The Democrat quite agrees with the interrogator, that the minister's reply siioiiid "ue published. It follows. "If you ask me whete Heaven is, l will answer: The City of God is in the State of the Soul, or Heart. The boundaries are the limitations of the individual soul's capacities to communicate with and fellowship with God. ' Tlitr Kinguorn ;:f God is with*?? man. It is perfect when God's will is done perfectly It has individual residence in individual hearts, but its social aspect is realized in man's relations to man, and its divine aspect in man's relation to God. Many job here is to bring the Kingdom el Gccl upon earth- until God's will u done upon earth even as it is done ir Heaven--or in the heart or* ouc whc perfectly obeys God's will and rejoices in doing these things whict please God. Whenever God's will conies to bf done in all hearts which claim Chris! as Saviourthen Heaven will be complete. God already has the purity ol angels. Man's loving response to God'* love will delight the Heart of God ai nothing! else could. It meets the parent's hunger for a v< luntary love from the child! That's man's contribution to Heaver. Jesus made it possible." DIVORCES VXD CAREERS Mrs Dall, describing her divorce as a thing that's "over and finished." hurries to Washington to take up the work in which she has been engaged since her illustrious fa then became President?-literary work and other engagements on the side. Perhaps, this interest, in making a career played the major role in the incompatibility that established .itself between husband and wife and led to the separation proceedings. One can never tell accurately about these things, however. The tendency of these times for women to absorb themselves in affairs that are outside the ranges oi domestic duties is one of the major irritants of married life. Abandonment of home duties for the office, created a I0&5 of enthusiasm for those engagements which women were intended to fill, has unquestionably result in large measure frotr their pursuit of the professions anei the occupations on which men for merly held a monopoly.?Charlotte Observer. o MASSFOOLERY Massfoolery is another thing thai is wrong with this country right now That diagnosis was given by an eastern speaker recently. He pointed U all the ill effects of mass production and said education also has its sha-t of massfoolery- Young people todaj are herded through schools. In then they find massfoolery on a large scale. It is not infrequent to hear 01 school heads who are proud of the size of the school's "pep meetings' and the broad expanse of the socia program. Noise and excitement are substituted for the quiet, individua quest of learning. In these days oi depleted funds it is probably impossible to avoid the overcrowding 01 w THE BOOK; I .... the first line of which reads j "The Holy Bible," and which cen- ! tai.-.s Four Great Treasures ....

What I have to say is not >asod upon imagination, nor guess vork. but upon what I have observed n other counties. I: Watauga had a cdufcty agent, :e c*n:(d secure a .specialist in Farm Management who w ulrf examine the 'arm carefully, make a map of same. v(.rl\ out a systematic crop rotation, mj :rnke recc shinend a 'ions that vould soon make the farm sclf-susainmg.

You have a great Irish potato soil a the county home farm. Enough otatoes could be produced at little psfc to feed the inmates Certified feed could be grown for sale, in the he imont and Eastern Counties, at a andsoir.e profit. It ought to be an easy matter to row all the cabbage, beans, turnips, quash, beets and other vegetables ceded to furnish a balanced diet, i kinder if they are getting a balanced iet under the present system ? As to meat, why it should be an asy matter to raise enough hogs, ouitry, mutton or beef to supply the ourity home and leave something t<; el? at a profit. Is the land not suitable for pastures and for corn production ? A patch of sorghum, or a few hives >i bees should furnish enough sugai uid honey for the inmates Some attention could be devoted U orestry. It might be a good idea U fell for the future by setting Oul jlack walnuts and black locusts, u supply walnuts, walnut timber ant ocust fence posts. 1 ahi not familial vit.li the kind of timber growing 01 .he farm, but a forestry specialist :ould work out a timber program foi he farm.

District Agent PART TIME FARMERS ARE ADVOC ATED BY SECRETARY The eventual solution of the landlord-tenant problem will probably he found in giving industrial employment to farmers who are no longei seeded in agriculture, said M. L. Wilson, assistant secretary of agriculture, who spoke at the State College Farm and Home exercises last week He predicted a time when a balance of agriculture and industry, together with a shortening of hours am! a division of employment would provide jobs for all who wish to work. There is no reason, he said, wiij industrial workers cannot have smai plots of land on which they may live in security insofar as producing then food is concerned. Under such a system, they could work short hours ir the factory and still make a living wage. The shorter hours of mewir 1 .,vtn tVUUIl mean more work for other people and thereby take care of the surplu; farmers. In some cases, he added it would be well for the wage earn ers to work in factories part of tlx year ar.d on farms the other par' when they are most needed in agri culture Mr. Wilson spoke of the AAA a: the greatest social movement in his tory and said that it had arouse< a new conception of co-operation an< planning that would not be forgot ten.
