Murphy. Y ith Carolina. Tliursda>. September 19. 1935 I GOOD BALL TEAM \\ ilh the first tint of fall ill the ail. the world of sports is in "eyes right" formation for the World Series, which mark - the pas-ing of baseball for one season; and direct I v ahead looms another term of football. And hefojv baseball misses idear out of the picture for 1935 we think a word should be -aid for the I oral team. It w;h an aggregation of boys. some of whom were not from Murphy, we admit, but hoys who really put out for the town and made up one of the best sand-lot c ombination-* in this pail of the country. With nearly 59 games to their credit with only a firth of that many losses, Hickman went a long way towar giving the town a good ball team, and if it is going to have one. it might a- well have a good one. The fan-* spent many pleasureable afternoons here during lie sumtnei watching the local team go through its routine ol winning game after game?and the sad part of the story, the part thai we hate to incorporate, is the lack id* support given them. Scarcely was a game played during the past summer when the park was not jammed with spectators and c 's and perliap- one of the biggest crowds was here last Sunday when the receipts, on final count showed only a litlc over SI7. Some men in town with no more than a moderate interest in the game have given almost that much in one fl.lV" t.i rtrmiilo > . ulma.i.. i....... f .. r ; I " r- '*i ? tiiiiinji nam mi me 1UWI1 UI Murpliy. ami tlit- situation only goes to clearly show that it is utilaii lor a hall ozen men to support the team for 51)0 or more other people. Next summer Murphy expects to have even a better team and the advertising it affords this community and the pleasure it affords visitors and the people in this area merits a good team. But every one should share the expense and it would he extremely small if everyone chipped in his part. One local man, it is understood, financed the grandstand alone and he has gotten very little outside of the enjoyment of the games, which is shared by everyone who sees them, for his generosity. That can hardly be said to be fair, and the game should be played fair from the grandstand as well as on the field. UNAMERICAN IN EVERY SENSE The pa-wing of Senaior Huey Long, no matter what the like or dislike of the individual citizen may have been for him personally, is unamerican in every sense of the word and is a blot, pure and simple, on the flag of this nation. Assasination is reserved for the mentally deprived class and when such an exhibition is demonstrated in this country we are lowering our standards to that ol the most common nation. The pitiful part about it now is, nothing can b< done about it. The murder did not have to share an) of the physical torture and agony that his victim did T> -11 P .1 -? * - ? xvegaraiess 01 me oppression that may have caused ur Weiss to resort to his blood-thirsty deed, he sought thi wrong way to correct any misgivings. We have courts in this country to handle thosi situations, but as the senator was above the law o court the assassin evidently chose what he thought wa: the surest way. But any man thai goes above the lav will eventually hang himself and for that reason Dr Weiss could easily have spared the life of the Louisian: dictator and his own and the subsequent sorrow tha will ultimately be borne by both families. The Cherokee Scout, Murphy, North Ci THE FLORIDA SHIP CASAL On the same day that the news canie from Miami that the Steamship Dixie had been driven upon a coral reef ??ff the Southern Coa-t of Florida by a Caribl>ean hurricane. *\<?rd came from Washington of the allotment i?\ the President of MM MM M). from his Works P.eilef I mid. t?> begin construction of a sea-level ship canal across the Florida Peninsula. Had such a canal been in existence, the 'Dixie* I Canal Nation Asset ""' would not have l><*n ?^jjj compelled to make the reachcrous passage 1 <^~ tlirough the Florida ? J l\ . Straits in the hui ricane f" Y so\V O* season, on its voyage 1 from New Orleans to ^ifc' ^ New York. It would 1\ ? have taken the shorter \ cut directly from Port I l\Ufc P. % | I Fnglius on the Gulf of ^ . 1-4 V,) Mexico across to the i ^klf XV ? A \ St. John* River and of* X!! I t!ie Atlantic. It would J^eXlCO I|t[ ,lave sav<;d PerhaPs two days in time. besides taking a safer course. T!ie fact that all of th passengers and crew of the "Dixie" were restored, comparatively uninjured, does not alter the force of ilie example. The "Dixie" is only one out of scores of vessels that have come to grief in the troubled waters between Florida and Cuba, and it is only one of thousands of ships, pKing between ports on tin* Gulf of Mexico and those of the Atlantic Coast. lt> which the new Florida Canal will offer an immense saving in time and cruising cost when it is completed. Hie tropical hurricanes which sweep the Caribbean and sometimes brush the Southern tip of Florida have little or no effect, cither upon land or water, as far north as the location of the Canal. 1 ew who have not given study to the subject realize the immense volume and importance of the sea-borne traffic between the Gulf of Mexico and the AtlanticCoast. From \era Cruz and Tampico in Mexico, from the 1 exas ports of Galveston, Houston and Port Arthur. from New Orleans and Mobile, Pcnsacola and lampa, a tremendous stream of commerce is constantly flowing to Savannah and Charleston, Norfolk and Baltimore. New N ork and Boston, and to Europe, a stream which flows steadily in both directions. Every one of those ships today must pass between Key West and Havana. Every one of them in the future will save hundreds of miles of steaming, cutting down both time and fuel consumption, by the new short-cut from the Gulf to ocean. To thousands of small craft the new canal will offer the safe and necessary connecting link between the inland waterways along the Atlantic Coast and those which follow the Gulf Coast. And to the Navy of the I nited Slates the Florida Canal might easily prove almost as valuable in case of war as the Panama Canal. Add to those considerations the important fact that the Florida Ship Canal will immediately provide employment for thousands, both in construction and in producing equipment and materials, and will, eventn ally, through the expenditure of the estimated cost of $100,000,000, put many thousands more to work. It seems to us to be one of the most justifiable of all the undertakings of the Federal Government. Moreover, it | will definitely be self-liquidating, as is the Panama through the tolls it will be paid by water-craft of all kinds for the privilege of passing through it. To Florida, of course the new canal means more than to the rest of the country. New towns will spring up along its route and uew business opportunities will thus be opened. Beyond a doubt, the completion of i this canal will make Jacksonville one of the most im-1 portant seaports on the East Coast. But entirely apart from its local value, we see a greater value as a national asset of very high importance indeed. Too the assassination demonstrates still another unamerican principle?thai nf .-.-J- ? J:-? ' uicutiorsnip. That is reserved for inhuman, avid morons like Mus; solini and Hitler, who have not enough to do to rule r their own peasants but must seek to rule others when nothing near benefit can be derived from it. All worldy-illusioned men are bound to fall?if ' not by their own hand by that or another. No case in history ever contradicted it except the case of German's Kaiser, who now probably realizes the difference be~ tween being a respected ruler and an outcast. . Assassination is not new to this country. Many of our best men have gone that way. It is a situation we ' must meet with but one weapon?education. The forceful presentation of the liberal view in all such cases will go a long way toward ridding us of the scourge of asassination. irolina TURNING BACK P 10 YEARS AGO Friday, September 18, 1035.
