MAY 2. 1935 EXEMPTION!. ESS The amended revenue bill, as it passed three readings in the House, and Tuesday one in the Senate, included a three pel cent sales tax which is exemptionless. tiiat is. that the levy would be collected on the basic food ifome tlrtiiv cii.'inr wrvlnccoc r,rir] i-i i. , jugcu. lnvia^ov..! u?ia sow bosom?and although the measure in its present form is estimated to yield enough to come within one per cent of balancing the appropriations bill, the taking of a retail excise on the elements of the most frugal existence carries with it a sort of economic nausea. Most of us have more or less become reconciled to the sales tax. and of course expected its re-enactment, but we can't be brought to believe in this new angle of the situation whereby the bare elements which would keep a beggar's tortured soul and famished bodv together, should be fallen upon as a source of revenue for the replenishment of ""We coffers of a fiscally embarassed commonwealth. While not altogether unmindful of the State's pressing needs for money, there are altogether too many tilings which bring to its populace misery, want and damaged health, and no actual benefit at all?upon all of which the tax-gatherer could be made to lay a heavy finger, without stooping to break the pauper's crust. o__ DOUGHTON DECLINES Robert L. Doughtdri, veteran Congressional leader, and a kingpin in the recovery structure of President Roosevelt's New Deal, ic cfrtinrt iu unci. luuidCii. eia a candidate for Governor of North Carolina in 1936, as had been his supposed intention. The announcement came after an interview with the President in which it is deduced the Chief Executive expressed a great de Jore to have the Doughton leadership remain behind him in the National Congress. Besieged by thousands of North Carolinians to enter the Gubernatorial primaries and at the same time urged by his colleagues in the Congress and the President himself to remain with them at the helm of the national ship of state, Mr. Doughton hesitated long and thoughtfully, then with characteristic Doughton frankness issued a concise statement to the press and continued working?working as he has always worked, for what he believes to be the best interests of the nation and all its peoples. And while not gainsaying the fact that Mr. Doughton would make a great Governor, that his long training in governmental affairs would stand him in good stead as Chief magistrate of his native State, yet we can't help rejoicing a bit with the candidates in his decision to stav in Washington, where he has become one of the most constructive of our great national leaHers. To leave the right hand of the President for a ninety-day Legislature would be a step in the wrong direction in the opinion of many of the strongest Doughton adherents. And the people of the Ninth District, neighbors to Congressman Doughton, geographically and actually, would feel bereft if they could no longer approach Doughton as thpir Congressman, after enjoying 25 years of superbly unselfish service from his Washington office. We believe that Mr. Doughtons' record of doing the right thing has not been altered by this latest action. HERE'S A SAMPLE OF IT Wallace Davis, convicted Asheville banker, Is free after serving about two years and six months of sentences totaling nine to thirteen years. He was serving one sentence of five to seven years, and there was another : sentence of four to six years, but it j was only a matter of form, since it (j ran along with the first: concurrent, j 1 the court calls it. He was serving j? two sentences at the same time. We | < 1 j suppose he was due to be paroled. | \ ; Nearly all the "big: shots" who have 11 to go to prison get a parole after : serving part of their sentence: that is. i i those who have friends and influence : i and money with which to hire smart ' ) lawyers to follow up their cases and i keep them before '.he parole board. Luke Lea is another one who will J soon be out. But, what about the "forgotten; " men" in our prisons? Who is looking 11 out for those unsung and unknown I \ prisoners, who have no money or in- , fluehtsal friends to engineer pardons , 1 and paroles for them? Are they get- < ting fair and just treatment, at the hands of the State? , This is exactly what has helped to | bring our court system into disre- j pute.?Gastonia Gazette. THE BOOK; the first line of which reads The Holy Bible," and which con- i tains Four Great Treasures .... * By BRUCE BARTON < TEN FAMOUS WOMEN < The same letter which invited ten , thousand preachers to name the ten , greatest men in the Bible asked also i for a list of ten famous women. Sev- , enty-four names received votes, and , . the following ten arc selected from t among the highest, and are arranged ( not in the order of their popularity, < but in their chronological sequence, j 1 Eve. the molher ot' all living." 2.

The widow who gave the mite. 3 j Eve: Every ancient people has its ? j own legend of the. creation of the first. ^ ; man and woman, and in almost every r story the woman gets the worst of it. It is only fair to Eve to remember this. Some man i Moses or another) is her biographer. When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat. and gave also to her husband. So much for the Eve whom everybody knows, the Eve of the Garden J , and the transgression. We shall not linger with lier. It is with Eve the \ girl with an unhappy memory and * the swift disillusionment going forth t with the young man she loved and making a home "east of Eden," whom * we should like to know better. There in the backwoods is heard t the lullaby of this primitive Madon- i na, singing the song that all mothers i have sung: j T Un ~ Jl I 1 nave siULLcu it man il From the. Lord." She knows very well that the child is Adam's son, this miracle or little pink toes and tiny hands that have such a terrible clutch at one's hair and heartstrings. This is the theme of all cradle songs. Eve set the mothers of the world singing. She did wrong, in that apple affair. But as a result of it she and Adam were no longer pensioners; they were working to pay off the mortgage. And weren't they happier, isn't the whole race happier, in this hustling and chaotic world than if they had stayed in Eden ? I sometimes wonder how much Eve really regretted! Next Week: Ruth The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES GETTING "FRESH" AIR The modern automobile may be called the universal convenience for out-door travel. It is rare to find an American householder that does not possess some sort of a family car. T rode in my sedan about thirtyj five miles yesterdaj' afternoon. It was j sunny aiiu warm?a perfect day; I I wanted?needed?aix- end qunoviino- t i. like multiplied thousands, had been i housed the week before. The question s is, how much air and sunshine did I i obtain ? t In a very "sketchy" ride over the c hills and through country lanes, I was not actually in the glorious sunshine 1 over ten minutes! Seated on the cush- ^ ions, I did not g?t ten whole minutes U of physical exercise?a solemn fact. \z I am forced to confess?the closed | c j automobile is worth precious iiitie.as s I an instrument for gathering sunshine (and exercise for the man who needs 1 both. . . . Thrice more benefit come3 to the health-tourist who is compelled to get out by the side of the highway I and patch up a punctured tire or a "blow-out." He gets the sunshine and ? exercise. I An auto trip over mountain roads, c with camping out at nights, eating t lunches broiled over a chunk-fire in j the great out-doors,?a trip lasting t a week or two, is of immense benefit I for recuperation; but now very few r are so situated that the}' may go to t that extent? c WATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVERY Let me word this exactly: I got ; nore sunshine and exercise in my: lack yard one afternoon with my garden hoc?than I would get in an entire Sunday afternoon's auto tourng. and did it ir. twenty minutes. I mention this to show how easy, effectual and cheap one can obtain such absolute essentials to life and health, is sunshine, air and good exercise, me humblest may reach forth and take without cost, while the idler 'gets by" in his self-deception. DIRT We family doctors, who find our living "out among the sticks." somelow form a very close acquaintance ivith the dust to which we all some Jay must return. This letter may be if more, than tiassinsr interest. i Dirt is regarded as the chief enemy of cur great hospitals: every effort is directed here to the extermination of every atom of, possibly, germ-infested dirt. But we country Joctors find means of getting along .vith it: I remember once taking care of a .-cry malignant case of small-pox; it .vas in the squalid quarter, and, I do iot remember of having encountered i filthier case! The old, ragged quilts ind greasy blankets were not changed >r aired for six weeks: the room was i north-east exposure where the sunight was practically an unknown' quantity. The patient was filled with i :he venom of the hideous disease: he j licl not look like a human being. My visits here were very circumspect indeed: I did not remove my jvercoat nor did I trust myself in me of the ricketty chairs?I delivered my messages and medicines standing. 1 sprayed myself with formaldehyde before leaving the room. This man made a most marvelous j ecovery: he simply had the constitu t :ion to "best" all the infection. He I las lived at least 25 years and is in jerfect health today. This would tend to convince us that lirt does not always kill. T have seen lozens of patients that lived like wine make the most astonishing rc- ' overics from serious disease. But this is not by any means an Lrgument for carelessness in treat-j uvJit; we shaii go on guarding against til chance of infection with all our ^ fouls anacco looks like it is ready to cut hen let it stand & week or ten days T^ onger.

These things te we unto you that your joy may full." Does not this prove that we >y this matchless fellowship? londitions of the Fellowship. We at walk in the light.
