Since it is highlv improbable that a hunting license covering this species will ever be available, the practices referred to, together with an occasional earlymorning destruction of private property are likeiv to eventually result in closed-season shot-gunning of these predators- varments. THANK YOU The Editor would be most ungrateful should he fail to express a word of appreciation to the members, of the fire department and other friends, who formed a most effective unit in combatting a blase which threatened the destruction of his habitat. Rut lor the concerted effort of these men. a serious conRa-1 gration would have resulted. Many, many times the fire department has saved principal parts of the city from flame and the writer joins with its members in rejoicing that adequate fire-fightn.g equipment is soon to be available. Citizens have been cooperating with ihe town to help the hard-pressed municipal treasury in the emergency and those who have failed to cooperate with the boys and with the city in the further development of this most important branch of the public service, have let slip an opportunity to perform a patriotic duty. HAPPIER DAYS Whether or not the new deal is functioning to the satisfaction of all concerned, or whether orr not an upturn in business can be j, credited to the Roosevelt admin-1, istralion, happier days are here ji is eviuencea uy me ionowmgj) excerpts from Associated Press ' dispatches which a contempora- ' ry has taken the pains to compile: "General business activity as- j sumed a fast pace last week, and industrial operations were well maintained with the movement of j merchandise to production, and consuming: centers reaching the best i levels siace November of 1931." "Reports on retail "and wholesale 3 trade from almost all sections of the nation indicated substantial ad vancenient." "For the first time in nearly four years freight car loadings reported by class 1 railroads parsed the 700000 mark, a level looked upon s the dividing line between profit and loss if maintained over a reasonable period." "Loadings were 700,357 cars for the week ended September 14, compared with 592,786 for the previous week, which included the Labor Da j' holiday." "Increased production in cotton and wool textile centers was noted by observers." "For the first time in many months, there were individual reports from scattered parts of the j country of substantial increase in employment." These paragraphs are repre sentative of the daily news as regards business activity and come in the nature of glad tidings to those in business, both large and small, who so recently were floundering in a morass of despondency. More than 17,000 shrimps, barnacles, worms, and crabs were found in a sponge the size of a wash tub fished from the Gulf of Mexico. 1 NEW METHOD NEEDED On two different occasions this summer visits to the cgurt house have revealed rather serious damages jo the public build-, ing as a result of gatherings other than those for which the building was constructed. In thej absence of any kind of city au-j oitorium or other adequate as-; senibly hall, the county cnrnrais-: sloners hove generously thrown j the building open for all worthy ;pr<?mot:">ns. S ".ce the masses, however, do not seem inclined to aid in' the preservation of the structure and furnishings i t might be a good thing to change the method of letting the court! house for entertainments, by accepting a small bond from the well-intentioned promoters for leaving the aud t rium in the sair.e condition as when secured Surelv no one would object to such a procedure. As the build-; in ; is the property of the public, j u is the dutv of the public to' preserve it, remiembenng 'hat i! j was constructed primarily fori! the transaction of the country's! business and not for theatrical |( purpose^. : < THE BOOK .... Ihe first line of which reads ; "The Ho!y Bible." a-iJ which contains Four Great Treasures ' By BRUCE BARTON j i ALK.XANDER SMITH AND THE | BOOK ] ( Little as the nine mutineers ex-1 peeled that the tiny beat would ever' reach England, they determined to? take no chances. They shipped on the J "Bounty.1" taking with them six no-! tive men. U n women and a girl of! fifteen, and sailed away to an island | named Pitcairn, after the British of-J, ficer who fired the first shot at Lex- ] ington. Then ensued while the Ehclyopedia | Britannica calls ?a hell on the earth." One of the sailors had worked in a, distillery in Scotland and he discov-! 'eml a way to distil alcohol from a native plant. Before a great while all the native men were dead, and ali j the white men but one. That one was j Alexander Smith, left alone with a! harem of native women and a crowd j ot half-breed children, his own and ' his companions. Picture him. if you wili, UU- forlorn monarch of a helpless people,: shut up with his own bitter niemor-' ies. Then consider the thing which ! happened In one of the chests of the' sailors he found a book. He read it. | He began to ask himself what was ; to become of this population that had ; had such a had start. He began to think with shame and remorse of all the past: he repented of his sins and resolved to live a God-fearing life, ami to make good men and women of those children He began to teach 1 those children to read that, hook So ; years passed. The children grew up and married, and more children were 1 born. The community prospered. Then one day. nearly twenty years 1 later, in 1803, the United States ship 1 "Topaz" called at this island and brought hack the first word which 1 the world had received of the muti- 1 neers who escaoed the harimn.m in ' 1790. Alexander Smith was king and! preacher and teacher in that little -! community. In honor of the. Presi-i1 Sent of the United States he had u "hanged his name to Johr. Adams,! [ md he much hoped that only ships 3 :roht America would visit him, for 1 i'e had no hankering for the gallows n England. But no British expedition 1 vent out after him, and he lived and iied in peace. And now, what about the people on hat island ? There was no jail. There was no hospital. There was no insane asylum. There was r.c illiteracy, no crime, 10 disease. The people had no doctors, took so medicine, used no liquor. The island was one hundred per cent. Christian; nowhere or* earth were life and property more safe, j What changed that place from a | hell on earth to a little speck of heaven dropped down in the South Seas? The reading of the Book. The End. The Family Doctor By DR. JOHN JOSEPH GAINES THE COLON BACILLUS This common guest of ours does no harm, so long as it inhabits the colon, the large bowel; but when it gets into the blood-stream, through an I ulcer of the rectum or from a wound I then grave trouble may occur. Many case3 of gall-bladder infection, ap-! Ipendicitis. and suDi>uratLner inflamma tion of the urinary bladder may result. Once the colon bacillus was not considered particularly harmful. We know better now. Every health board of cities looks out for this more than common polluter of the public watersupply. My opinion is that the colon bacillus is equally dangerous. If not more so, than the typhoid germ. The mlcroscopist may indeed find it easy to mistake the colon "bug" for the ty vVATAUGA DEMOCRAT?EVER" phoui. But there is ? distinct difference i:? form. The colon germ is thicker ?n it -5 middle and more fusiform in The colon bacillus is scattered or d-'ss- crated with human excrement. It may mingrle with soil. Hence the outdoor toilet, such as lias been used by farm }\o:xies, is a distinctly uniry iRd dangerotis proposition. The only safe model is the one with a deep pit beneath it which must be treated with u:i-slaked Hme regularly The cor'* rut should NEVER he permitted on the ground, where it can be washed away by showers. The farm home which has this equipment should tear it down at once and burn it over its own site. ; Then build a house-toilet with a til? ('ruin, so that it may be deluge-1 with . s.rorig antiseptic. Thic letter ;s no! ' for city dwellings with modern, sard- | nr.\ conveniences. Sfcry of the Constitution XI. jHE bUUW Tit OF NATIONVUSM For rhaj'.y years, after the ratifica- j tiou of the Constitution, statesmen I '' ! men of affairs were divided as to the .act character of the Government set up under it. To one school : jf thought, of which Thomas Jsffer- j son was the foremost exponent, the Constitution was little more than, a treaty between sovereign states. In the eyes of the other group. led by Alexander Hamilton, it was the foun- j iatic-n of a Nation. Ultimately the Hnmih.onian point of view was to be- \ come generally accepted, though only . a long and bitter struggle. Hi.-.niton, as Sei?rc-tary of the i Treasury under President Washing- ! ton, brought about the acceptance by j the owners of wealth of his viewpoint of Federal supremacy. Under his j leadership, t he new Federal Govern- j meni assumed the debts of the states j thereby taking its stand as something ; 'bigger and better than the states. ! This was followed by other bold and i rapid strokes of financial policy, all j Lending tG the same end of national ; supremacy'. He established a tariff ; or. imports as excise tax and an in- j tenia! revenue service and, us a crowning stroke, a national bank. It > was Hamilton's purpose to establish 1 a government in. which wealth should stand at the helm, guiding and steadying tlie ship of state. Under the leadership of Thomas Jefferson, whose faith was in the j masses rather than in the classes, the doctrine of states' rights, as opposed to Federal rights under the. Constitution. began to take shape. As early as 179$ the Genera; / sscmbly of Virginia adopted resolutions protesting against encroachment upon state : rights by the Federal Government j and asserting the right of each state to decide for itself the, constitutional! ty of Federal laws affecting state interests In the same vear the n? w ; state 01 ivenuieny adopted similar ie- ji solutions. Kentucky went further, and j implied the right of a state to with- ;. draw from the Union. Thus were sown the seeds of the j political parties which have strug- ,! gled against each other for 135 years j, Lor control of the Federal Govern- : ment. And the first important amendment to the Constitution, after the . Bill of Rights, was one which recog- ; nixed the existence of the partisan spirit. The twelfth amendment changed Lhe previous method of electing the President to the method which is RtTIl . followed. Under the original system, i the candidate receiving the largest lumber of electoral votes became President and the one receiving the j 3econd largest number became Vice President. The effect of that today, if it were still the Constitutional .; rule, would be that Mr. Roosevelt A'ould be President, and Mr. Hoover .vould be Vice-President. With the division of public sentiment in'o two diametrically opposing t tiamps, such a situation was not to be tolerated, so the Constitution was ! amended; in 1798. to provide for the J electors' choosing both President and ; Vice President at the same time, with : the further provision that the President ar.d Vice President shall not botli be residents of the same state, and that in case no candidate has a majority of electoral votes, then the } House of Representatives shall elect one of the three leading candidates, , in its discretion.

This promises to put Coach Brewer's young i charges to a severe early season test and should prove a thriller. The State eleven flashed great k form in the blocking and tackling de partments against Lenoir-Rhyne, but the offense refused to function on the many occasions that State came within Lcnoir-Rhyne's ten-vard line. 5 There were no serious injuries sustained in the game, thus allowing L Coach Brewer and Coach Stewart - their full power against the strong Piedmont club. Captain Trippany played one of the most spectacular games of his long and colorrul career, as after four f minutes of play he took a punt and . raced (15 yards to the enemy's three yard marker.
