AUGUST 26, 1937 INWAjMTON UNITED STATES SENATOR The first session of the seventyfifth congress is now a matter of hi?| tcry. During" the next few weeks there will he many reviews of the legislation enacted and its effect on the daily life of our people. Economists v.:J figure new laws in the light of the cost to business and industry, c,ni[111212119 will t>? laid on tot"I appropriations as compared with federal income. And organizations and groups will begin to form their lines to pjess for more legislation when the congress again convenes in January . Few Will contend that, from the standpoint of new legislative accomplish ments, the session just ended was worthy of great significance. But it can be stated accurately that the session was adjusted to the needs of cur people, with the exception of the failure to enact farm legislation, which is the first order of business for the next session. It can also be said that the congress met at a crucial time in national affairs. Our people had hardly absorbed the great mass of new laws enacted during the period of the depression. Recovery was on the way and is gaining daily. Thus it was for he best interest of the country that the congress adopt the trial and error method of considering legislation. This was done and it has helped lay the foundation for the things that contribute much to the permanent stability of the country. Adjournment found virtually all members of congress in agreement that farm legislation is needed. And the failure of congress to put through quickly some law of a temporary character will work out for ine ocst interest of the farm population. It means that memibers will come back with a fresh view of farm needs, with talks with "dirt" farmers clearly in their minds, and with first-hand information on the actual condition on the farm. Members of congress are in agreement that the President's insistence that farm legislation be taken up as the first thing in January is assurance to the farm population that the condition of agriculture is of extreme importance to the administration. There is every reason to believe that WE BUILD HOUSES A cheap constructed homo Is never cheap at any price. Our motto: The best job possible for the price you can pay. Let us help you plan and give you an estimate on your building needs. W. C. GREENE. East Tennessee & Western North Carolina Motor Transportation Company.

One of the most hopeful signs on the horizon for the taxpayers of the country is the keen interest being shown in an effort to simplify the national tax structure. Much "behind the scene" work has been done by congressional committees and by the treasury. There is growing belief that our present system of levying taxes is overburdened with inequalities and taxes that are not justified by the revenue produced. There is also reason to believe that tobacco prices are greatly affected by the duplicate taxes imposed by the federal and state governments. Some contend that the federal government collects unusually heavy taxes on the one hand and then attempts to aid the farmer on the other. Therefore, if new tax legislation comes at the I next session there will be a strong j fight for a complete overhauling of !

Teer, 14-year-old son of Nello Teer, prominent Durham contractor. was almost instantly killed < last Tuesday morning about 10:30 I when a pickup he was driving overi turned on the Blue Ridge Parkway grade between Glendale Springs and Laurel Springs. The youth, who had been visiting his uncle, VV. H. Teer, at Glendale Springs, had been cruising over the parkway grade in company with an employee, who stopped the truck where a. shovel was being moved. While the driver was waiting a few minutes near the shovel the boy drove away with the truck and in a few minutes a passerby found him a few miles distant, pinned beneath the vehicle which had apparently got out of the boy's control on the crushed stone and overturned off the road. When help arrived and his body was taken from under the truck he was dying. His father, Nello Teer, is one of the most widely known contractors in the south and is favorably known in this section, where he has con aiiutiea many or the leading highways. Early corn has been set back and pastures have been damaged by recent dry weather in Wilkes county. OBITUARY Mrs. P. E. .Nelson, whom many people of Watauga county will remember as Cordelia Belle Story, died August 1 at her home in Dayton, Oregon, after being bedfast for three months. Mrs. Nelson was born May 2, 1889, near Blowing Rock. Early in life she became a member of the Middle Fork Baptist church. She went west in March, 1912, and was united in marriage to Mr. P. E. Nelson of Spokane, Wash., on July 15, 1914. She, with her family, moved to Oregon in 1918, and had been a resident of Dayton since 1924. She became a member by letter of the First Baptist church of Dayton in 1925, and won a multitude of friends who loved and honored her as a follower of Jesus Christ. She had much severe suffering to hear during her illness, but she was always patient and had a smile for everyone who was near her. The end came peacefully and quietly on Sunday morning and she was laid to rest on the following Wednesday in Evergreen Memorial Park near Dayton. She is survived by her husband, P. E. Nelson, and three children. Reidamae, A.-.nabelle and Roy Nelson, all of Dayton, Oregon, by her sisters, Mrs. Pear! Hartley. Boone and Mrs. Ear! Coffey, Blowing Rock; and by eight brothers, T. E.

Lesson for August 29 GOD CONDEMNS INTEMPERANCE. LESSON TEXT?Leviticus 10:1. 2. 811: Proverbs 31:4. 5: Isaiah 23:1-8; Romans 14:21. GOLDEN TEXT?Wir.e is a mocker, strong drink i. raelm:: and whosoever is deceived thereby i - not wise. Prov. 20:1. PRIMARY TOPIC.?What a Wise King said. JUNIOR TOPIC-When a Man Drinks. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC? How Drinking Harms Others. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC? Why Bevel age Aleohol Is a Social Foe. The use of intoxicating liquors is financially unprofitable to the nation, scientifically unwise and destructive, auelnlly degrading, and morally wrong. I. The Problem. The selected Old Testament serin- I ! tures which comprise our lesson | present the use of intoxicants as ; causing four socially undesirable rei suits. i 1. Religious disobedience (Lev. I 10:1,2; Isa. 28:7). Two things we j may rightfully expect of those who i serve the nation in its religious life: ; (1) a vision of God and obedience ; to that vision in life and service, I and (2) the exercise of sound Godi guided judgment in the affairs of ; the people. But note what happens j when the prophet and the priest turn i to wine and strong drink. "They err ' in vision" (Isa. 23:7). That is, they | have no clear concepts of divine | truth, and lead the people into error. I Further, we see that "they stumble I in judgment." To every true serv! ant of God comes repeatedly the opportunity and the need of rendering judgment, that is, of advising and counselling those to whom he ministers. If his mind is befuddled by the use of alcohol (or, for that j matter, of any other kind of worldly indulgence) he will "stumble," and . cause his people to stumble. A sad incident is related in Lev. 10:1,2 of the sons of Aaron, appointed to the priesthood and instructed in its privileges and duties, but coming with strange fire to be offered before the Lord. Swift and terrible was the judgment, they received. We are not told directly that they were intoxicated, but it is implied in the fact that there is an immediate injunction against the use of wine by the priests. Lest someone think that such a thing could not happen in our day the writer mentions word which recently came to him that a loading seminary has professors on its staff 1 who defend lite so-called moderate use of alcoholic drink. 2. Political disorder (Prov. 1:5). j While political leaders make sanctil monious protestations that government agencies are not influenced by the liquor interests, it is common knowledge to even those who are slightly informed that the two are closely associated. The result of that unholy alliance is rightly described in Prov. 31:5?"They forget the law, and pervert the judgment of any of the afflicted." Much of the sad disorder in the body politic is traceable directly to the door of the makers and sellers of alcoholic beverages. 3. National decay (Isa. 28:1-6). "Overcome with wine"?stricken down, useless in life, without true ambition, such is the picture of the man who gives himself to drink. Poverty, with all its attendant social problems, follows on the heels of the sale and use of intoxicants. Some liquor dealers are beginning to sense a rising tide of opposition to their business, and are advertising. "We do not want bread mon ey," but the fact is that it is all too often bread money that goes for liquor, and the vile stuff is still on sale where the poor man may readily spend his "bread money" for it. 4. Personal degradation (Isa. 28: '8). "Vomit and filthiness" are not very nice words, but they describe accurately the ultimate condition of the drinker and his surroundings. The writer knows a young man who boasts that he never gets drunk because the "booze" makes him so sick that he vomits it up. Imagine a supposedly intelligent man drinking stuff so vile that his stomach (evidently having more sense than his head) sends it back?and then boasting of his ability to drink more! II. The Solution, a Divine' Principle (Rom. 14:21). Thousands of Christian ceoDle have solved not only the drink problem, but practically every question of conduct and social life by applying this principle. Surely no true follower of Christ will be guilty of doing anything that will cause any brother to be offended, to stumble, or to be made weak. Foundations The foundation of domestic happiness is faith in the virtue of woman; the foundation of political happiness is confidence in the integrity of man; the foundation of happiness, temporal and eternal, is reli-1 ance on the goodness of God.?Lan- j dor.
