THURSDAY MAY, 1. 1924. So this is May! O Spring! How far away Is Summer? Please, mother, dear, may we take 'em off now? Plant enough In your garden for your family and the neighbor's chickens. mon dumping-ground for all sorts of stuff that may be shot forth, upon the unsuspecting public. Just this morning we found stick ing In the door-jam of our commo dious publication bureau a folded sneet of paper the opening of which exposed to our noble eye-sight to an exhortation upon the virtues of cor rect voting. Quotations from Holy Writ mingled throughout the wonder ful document with excerpts from the wlselets of some psychologist or oth er, pedigree foreign to our limited knowledge. Christianity rang the title in, and Qod’s goodness wound up the expostulation, the whole re plete with the king’s English severe ly slaughtered. The only marker by which it might be known or remem bered was: A Subscriber. Now, then, somebody’s mad. The writer of that article Is probably reading right here and what the ed itor is catching In the mind of the author would probably be less fit to print than his article. But whose fault is It? Must the editor be re sponsible for something which a con tributor. even though a sub.scrlber. Is not willing to sign a name to? ’Tis the same old story, friends. We're just not going to do It, that’s final. If you want your letters pub lished, please have the goodness of heart to sign your name. Otherwise they will find their way to the waste basket. Paste this up for reference. And Muscle Shoals was not worth a row Iti Congress till Henry Ford wanted it. Nevertheless we still hold that Josephus Daniels would make a bet ter President than be thinks he would. Our mall Is swelling with bulky envelopes from the candidates. Our waate-'basket day by day grow.i fuller and fuller. Henry Ford propo.)e8 to extract fertilizer from the air. But Con gress is going him one better and throwing the air full of it. HOW MUCH CAN A CANDIDATE STAND? Candidates for political office have long since learned that they must stand for plus. They ar^ re signed to that, just as much as a can dIdate can be resigned. They know that they must laugh heartily at the stalest of jokes. They are well aware that they must lie like Turks when praising the hospitality of their hoped-for constituency. They are not unwise to the fact that they must call each baby Intelligent- looking and even kiss some of them. They are free to confess that they are expected to extol the virtues of the proletariat from hilltop and vale. A candidate who doesn't know these things and some others is slated for the also-ran column In the finals. But here’s something you didn’t know, much less did a cancUdate know it. Neither you nor the candi date knew that they were expected in this go-round to fork up a bunch of coin of the realm to aid some un known person in a distant nook to realize his own personal political ambition. Now, honest, did you know that a candidate for office was expected to “put out” that way? Well, Charlie Ross is the victim. The other day he pulled from his pigeon-hole down at Uncle Sam’s postal warehouse a letter that was written real Intelllgent-like. The epistle informed Charlie that it might be possible that the writer would help him out In his effort to hook the Attorney-Oeneralship. But the help was not promised outright. Kind o' cautlous-llke the writer felt his way along till he reached the heart touching (or rather pocket-touch ing ) point, and then the pithy point glared up. just like that. The author of the epistle only wanted ten dollars, which isn't much to a man like Cbarlie Roes, provided of courae there are not too all-flred many such eplstlers. But ten dol lars against an altogether uncertain ballot! Great chance for a gambler, and Charlie Isn't a gambler either. When last seen by a reporter, Charlie had not remitted the ten-spot. It is quite likely that he will not. When pressed for a decision in the matter he put it squarely up to the scribe with "What’d you do?” The Information came quickly. If •the scribe had ten dollars, what in thunder would he care for votes? While we want and hope that our land will be high priced, we do not want it to be so high priced that It will not bring fair rpturna. The value of produce from our land ia the thing of supreme Iraportaace to every farmer and every land owner. A very considerable bit of aerioue thought must be given to carrying on of production in the business farm ing. Haphazard methods of farm ing, waste of land, poor seed, inferi or stock, nil must go by the board If we are going to succeed in this now and large venture of high pric ed land. The methods of our fath ers and grandfathers can not be pos sibly be used for successful results. We must use our roost modem meth ods and must discover and plan new things if our success is to be main tained. The scrub must be relegat ed to scrap heap the same as the old horsepower threshing machine and old reaper. This Is no Idea that has been hatched In a .pipe dream or in idealism but In cold facts that -Store us in the face. It is for us to go to work and plan out for our selves the things that are going to put the best stock and best equip ment on our farms and to make them produce interests' on their val uation. THE SAME OLD STORY ’’Anonymous communications find their way to the waste-basket.” How often and how long must that be re peated before the people will under stand that no self-respecting news paper can afford to publish articles sent in without signature? Can it be that there is a certain element who are of the opinion that news papers are glad to put their hands upon just anything that will fill the columns? Starting with the egotist ical politician who thinks the high ways and byways are packed and jammed with people who are eager to grasp and devour any wise thing that he may let fall from his over-; flowing brain, and coming on up the grade to the public-spirited citizen who is really trying to do something that will help to lift the old world up a bit and relieve the squeaking on its axis— all along the line there are people who think, or seem to ihlnk, that the newspaper is the com- SIGNS ON HIGHWAYS with the campaign to remove un sightly advertising signs from Amer lea’s roads well under way, atten tion may well be turned to the character of .sign posts marking roads to show their destination and distances. The historic “sign post” is of wood, with a board nailed to the side, ending in a representation of a pointing hand. The hoard bears upon Us face, usually In weather- obliterated letters, the n'anie of the next town. Such a marker was all right for n trail, or a wagon road, but it is a.- much out of place on a line, hard road as an ox curt among autonio blle.s. Modern practice dictates that road signs and posts nhould be per manent, sightly, plain as to inform ation conveyed, sturdy, and artistic For national highways, a beauti ful bronze sign post has already been designed by a famous sculptor. Road associations Interested in some par ticular road have adopted distinc tive markers. In many ca.ses of a high degree of art and beauty, as well as utility. The Old Oregon Trail, for Instance, which it is pro posed to improve from the Missouri to the Columbia, is now In process of being marked with signs of real beauty and significance. Professor Fairbank.s, of the University of Ore gon, designed the marker, showing a typical covered wagon and pioneer family of early western days. Sucli a sign Is particularly appropriate for this trail, which Is the route follow ed by early-day pioneers In their ox- team emigration from the Eastern States to Oregon and Washington in the late forties and early fifties. It is not necessary to wait for some large association to design or place markers. Every town can help by seeing to it that the sign posts along its entering and leaving roads are plain as to intent, yet handsome and distinctive. Placing such markers embodies the spirit of welcome to the tourist, which Is “good ibusiness” for any town, and is most excellent work for local civic organizations to take up and follow through. have Igaproved immaaMly alaca pro- hlbtttm want into affect.

Moreau Harger, In the April Scribner^ discusses the powerful in fluence which the rural press has ex erted in the making of a nation: “Uoniing as it does close to the hearts of its readers, the old home peper—even if its policy be not al ways commended—commands re spect and confidence.” He shows that to the family in the country town or on the farm stead, the weekly visit of the coun try paper or the small city dally Is an event enjoyed by all. Gartoonlsts in the metropolitan press have visualized for the public a ridiculous and peculiar type as representing the country editor’s personality hut this writer shows that his readers know him and arc not disillusioned, ’‘He is close to his constituency. Further, it is a constituency with more leisure than any other, more time for reading the news and opin ions of the day.” This makes the country paper a vehicle of opinion and a mode of political leadership. Toe country paper is loyal to the government and continues to take a large part in earnest discussion of public affairs from a disinterested' standpoint. It is the country week ly and smaller city daily that makes the path of radical and demagogue difficult, standing as It generally does for prosperous. Independent American' homes. HAPHAZARD FARM ING OUT OF DATE County Agent in another State de scribes the real cause of most of the agriculture distress as follows; Mort of us have been so busy watching the* upgrade movement of high prices of land that we have for gotten almost all the fundamental principles that underlie farm value. (Editorial Chapel Hill Weekly) Joslah W, Bailey Is talking a lot of nonsense about taxation. Being an intelligent man, he knows that this state, and the counties and the towns have got to keep on spending money for education and roads and other good purposes; yet he seems to want to convey the Impression that his ejection would cut down taxes. There is small chance that it would have any such consequence. "The average tax rate In North Carolina in 1912 was $1.34 on the hundred: today It is about $1.50,” Mr. Bailey Is quoted as saying in a speech the other day. Well, what of it? This fact In Itself Is without any special significance. The important question, are the thing people are paying worth paying for? EvoryV body knows that the citlxens of North Carolina are enjoying far more o? the blessings of civilization, and in general are on a higher level of edu cation and hea/lth 'and prosperity, than they were 15 or 26 years ago. And this Is so largely because of thb very Increase In tbe tax rate about which Mr. Bailey professes to be alarmed. Tbe Increase haa come about through the action of the peo ple themselves in voting to spend money to make their communities 'better communities and North Caro lina a better state. To keep talking about the t^x rate Increases as if It had been an evil thing Is misleading, and we do not believe that Mr. Bai ley win get anywhere by this kind of campaigning. It may be true that in his speech es the complete text of which we have not seen, he expresses approval of the ■ state’s progressive poUlcy, which means, Inevitably, a money- spending policy, . But he appears to be putting his main emphasis up on the tax rate. He must be fully conscious of the tact that, should he become governor he could not effect any reduction In the average tax rate In North Carolina. That is, he could not do It unless he deliberate ly set out to infiuence local action throughout North Carolina by em ploying his cleverness and eloquence and high position to preach an anti school, anti-road, anti-hdaltb, and generally an anti-progress doctrine. And of courae Mr. Bailey would not do that. He does not want to see his state turn backward. He should not beclcflid the Issue by leading people to suppose that he. If elected, would somehow be able to out their local tax bills. You may talk about your picnics, your parties and your fun, hut good times for this old town have certain ly begun. Just see how clean our streets are—not a single can in sight —as for papers and old rubbish they're also guarded tight. It’s the women, bless ’em, they’ve formed a Woman's Club; and from now on, yon crusty fellows have certainly got to scrub. They’re behind the schools and churches, yes, and in the back lots, too. They’re In the stores and homes to see that you your duty do, Jnue will find us blooming as you never dreamed. Why they’ve planted seeds by the thoueanda until the mayor screamed. "The town la go ing bankrupt—not a penny left. They laughed and planted more so our Treasury's bereft. But there will be more money—taxes-coming fast. Why folks just can’t resist us as they have In the past. You can hear the hammer knocking morning, night and noon. We've just got to house 'em, for so very soon we’re going to be listed as, "The best town under the moon." fi ,r GOMPBRB AND BSflBR. Over since the Blghteanth Amend ment went into effect Mr. Samuel Gompers, bead of the American Fed eration of Labor and the accredited spokesman for the labor organisa tions, haa been advocating modifica tion so. that the workmen might get their beer and their wines.

We can meat death without winking aa eyelaah, but cold pancakei for break fast or a lost collar button unflta ua for buslaeas tor tho day. Our frlenda and our raputatlons are often mode or loat by the way in which we meet the seemingly insignificant situations of life. I knew a man once who lived with his wife twenty years. They stood by leach other through all sorts of sor rows and disasters, but he finally ap plied for a divorce. She had' a per- itlttoBt habit of taking hla aoUad hand* kerchief out of bis pocket each eve- nUif and substituting a fresh one. It was a violation of his rights, which could not be brooked, and which bade [fair to sour hla whole dtapoaltion; he '.tried In vain to break her of the prao- itloo, and, failing la tbit, sought re- .lease from tha aanoyance through the idivorce courts.

Many of these things are largely [matters of personal temperament to which wa yield without a struggle. We even become elated or take pride la the tact, at times, that there are certain thinga which we do not like or which we cannot stand.

This was In fulfillment of that which Amos had predicted la the days of Jeroboam II ot a time when the nation was at the height ot Its prosperity. The northern kingdom was ruled-by nineteen kings, all of whom were wicked. Their wickedness was not be cause of lack of information or op portunity but in spite of It Ood' promised the first king His blessing if he would be loyal to Him. Jero boam departed from Ood and the apos tasy thus begun continued downward to the end. In the reign of. Hoshea, the last king, the king of Assyria came and besieged Samurla and carried tbe children of Israel captive to Assyria* from which they never returned. II. The aine Whieh Oaueed Their Doom (w. 7-18). 1. Conformed to the Ways of Gm Heathen (vv.T-9), God bad command ed them not to follow In tho ways of the heathen, but these Israelites, In stead of maintaining Uvea of sepa ration, secretly did that which was displeasing to Ood. Secret sbus, as surely as open sins, brtog ruin, tor all tbtnga are naked and open to Him with whom we have to do. The One who visits judgment upon the sinner knows all things. S. Serve Idols (w. lO-lT). ^They not only compromised by “walkhig In the. statutes of the heathen," but wor shiped their gods. It was 'a short step from following In the statutes of the heathmi to worshiping their gods. Before they worshiped Idols,they cast off the true God. Indeed Idolatry came Into the world because tbe race did not wish to retain Ood in its affeettons' (Romans 1:21-28). Idolatry did not come In through Ignorance but through willful perverseness. People today worshiping fglse gods have first 'east oft the authority of the living God. Man Is a religious being. When' he ceases to worship, .the true God be worships other gods. 3. They Were Rebellious (w. 18-19), God by hlB prophets has said unto them, "Turn yh from your evil ways, and keep my commandments," but they stubbornly refused His testimony, even' rejected His statutes: Oodti In love tried to save them. , He sent some ^ the noblest and best prophets who over spoke to men to persuade them to turn from their sins, such as Eli jah and Elisha, but they stiffened their necks and plunged deeper Into wlekedneaa. This they did In defiance of God. 4. Caused Theln Sons and Daughters to Pass Through Fire (v IT). This was the dreadful Motech worship, the most cruel rite of heathen worship.

In the now public school sys>/' tern, whether you will let it stand as It now- Is or, will you favor an, eight months term for each school In our county* The public In general are unfavor able to a longer term than six months, and desire to have this Im proved only, and the people are very anxious, especially the writer, to know how you stand on this ques tion, should you be favora'ble to raising, from six to eight months. I want you to say so. and it you are going to stand by the now system. ,lt Is even more important that you let the public know It at once: I sincerely hope that you will fav or me with an early reply. I am satisfied yon will accord me this answer. Yours very truly, JESSE P. WILSON. April 24, 1924. Hon. Jesse P. Wilson, Dunn, N. C. My dear Mr. Wilson; I have your letter of the 22nd Inst. Inquiring as to my position upon the question of lengthening our school term from six months to eight months. (Should I represent the County In the next Legislature I shall certainly not 'attempt to pass any legislation Increasing the length of the school term in Harnett County without the submission of that ques tion to a vole of the people ot the County. Personally, I am inclined to the view that It would be better If all of us would, for the time being at least, exert ourselves to secure oiir school to he taught eight hours a each branch of the Legislature, and that it then be ratified by a majority vote of the qualified voters ot the State nt an election to be held there- otter. The othex method, that is, the levying of special taxes, would re quire the affirmative vote o1 a ma jority of the qualified voters In the County, or other special school lor- ,ritory, to be affected, at an election duly called tor that purpose. All .t^ts, as you know. Is fixed by the Constitution of the State and the Legislature has no power to change It. I have been Informed that there is a more or less general rumor afloat In the County to the effect that the Board of ICdaention with drew the call for the recently adver tised school election with the under standing or frame up between that Board and myself that' I would. If returned to tbe Legislature, pas.^ a law putting into effect in tho County the objects of that election without the samo 'submitted to the vote of the people of the County. Thore is no foundation in fact for such ru mor. For the reasons stated aboi-o I could not if I ..would pass any such legislntlon. and I am sure that my record as the Representative of Har nett County in - two terms ot tho Legislature will satisfy any ettieen that I have no disposition to put any thing over contrary to the will of the citizenship of my county. Understanding from your letter that you desire a statement ot my position in order that the public mny know where I stand, I am taking the liberty ot publishing your lotler with this reply thereto.

Further referring to the question of increasing the length of the school term, you, as a lawyer, are well aware that there are only two ways In which the school term can he lengthened beyond six monttaB. One of these ways Is by amendment to the State Constitution increasing the length ot the school term tor the entire State. The other way ia by length of the school term for the the levy of speofal taxes In the count- ty or other special school territory for the purpose of lengthening the school term therein.
