THE GLEANER I QflAELAJi. N. C., NOV. 10, 19o2. MID 1TEEY TBUBBOAT , ? J. D. KERNODLE, Editor. J $1.00 A YEAR, IN ADVANCE. ..-v j-..?? | ?nlered at ma -'?>?-offlce atdrtbix ,?0.. IIDCU.. data matter. OH, P^HAW! ] * It used to be the custom in! this town, at election times, i' | when favorable election news came in to ring the court house j bell. If it had been a hot cam paign and the margin was close; and the result uncertain, some one would climb up in the bel fry of the old court house and start the music. At times old Liberty Bell did not ring more merrily or joyfully. Those were the days before telephones, good roads and au tomobiles came about. Election returns ./were slow coming in from the furtherest-out pre cints. If the weather was good, ? '' " * t alter tnecount was maue, some body would start for the court house with the news and get in anywhere between 11 and 2 or 3 o'clock. If the bell didn't i ring on his arrival, it was pretty good evidence that the news wasn't very encouraging. Back ill those days it was J about as unusual for the Re publicans to win a county elec- j tion as it has beep in the last 25 years. , National election news, back , there, did not travel much fast er than county election news. While the national battle was ( always a fiercer one, it was al most as rare for the Democrats i to win one of them as it was for the Republicans to win a county election. It was back in the 70's, tradition tells us, when the Democrats got the news tnat Samuel J. Tilden was elected that the Democrats got ' ? u;, : t u..n. _ i -iix a vig uu^. juaber ivutuci fond B. Hayes was proclaimed $ected by an Electoral Com mi*- ' slbn, a Republican set-up. Tli"ii the Republicans had a come- ? back, rattled the old bell for 1 hours and almost tore off the top of the court house. 1 Another custom, too, was the ( printing of roosters in the local ] paper as an evidence of rejoie- j ing and exultation over the re- c suit. It took a whole flock of j roosters to tell the good news ? the more, the better. ( A defeated candidate was rep- ( resented by a sick chicken, or , by a rooster with drooping tail , and wings pursued by a strut- < ting victorious rooster. |, This shop still has a good sup- j, ply of those rooster emblems ( brought over from those good!, old days. Aye, and those were the days 1 of torchlicht iirooAssinns wnl.ll coining the coming of a promi- t nent campaigner, or the cele bration of a victory. Aud there is another difference: Folks would walk miles at night to attend a political meeting of almost any sort, and a spell binder would draw a throng equal to that of a circus. The modernist and high brow may elevate his proboscis at some of the old ways of do ing things and call them cheap and simple, but the folks enjoy ed them and got a measure of pleasure from them with which many of the so-called thrilly things of the present are not comparable. Let us hope that the memory and tradition of the simple and hajgnleas pleasures of olden times will live long to stimulate the imagination of the youth and lift them to an appreciation of the struggle at the foot of the ladder. | Roosevelt Elected President Receives Largest Popular Vote in History of Nation Roosevelt Gets 472 of the 531 Electoral Votes The Democrats Have a Majority in Both the Senate and House in Next Congress Eliringhaus Elected Governor by Some 250,000 Majority. Likewise the Balance of the State Ticket A Solid Democratic Delegation Goes to Congress from State Alamance County Gives Democratic Major ities Averaging About 2500 A grinding and exhausting campaign throughout the Nation ended Monday night: Mr. Roosevelt closed his cam paign in New York and Mr. J Hoover closed his in California, bis home State. On Tuesday the electorate! marched to theDolls in unprece dented nnmber.j to register their choice for Chief Executive of the Nation. It had been predicted that Gov. Roosevelt would sweep the nation, and late returns in dicate that the electoral votes j of all the states, except Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,' Delaware, and Pennsylvania. The Democratic majority in! the House of Congress was in-1 creased. Long time prominent ! Kepubliean leaders in the Sen ate wore defeated by their Dem ocratic opponents. In this State the entire State iicket was elected by an average najority of around 250,000. A solid Democratic delegation s elected to Congress. In this the new Sixth; Congressional iistrict, William B. Umstead, Democrat, was chosen over [udge Wm. I. Ward, Republi :an, by more than 15,000 ma ority. In Alamance County the eu iire Democratic ticket for coun ;y officers was elected by large najorities. Tho Republicans ivaged their battle agaiust sheriff Stockard, who came out with a less majority than any one else on the ticket Even nt ;hat his majority was more ,hau 2,000. This campaign will go down n history as one of the most memorable in the history of the :ountry. The people of the United States on Tuesday indicated, iverwhelmingly, that they were 1 ooking to the leadership of the Democratic party to lift them >ut of the depression in which hey have been engulfed for the jast three years. Both the op portunity and the obligation ire momentous. The people lave expressed their trust and ;heir hope and woe unto the Democratic party if it fail. The ;ask is herculean aud will com mand all the wisdom and cour ige of which the leadership is :apable. Rutherford County farmers have lot only seeded an excellent crop >f small grain this season but have nereased their acreage to vetch, tustrian winter peas and such le ruraee, j r i i HOOVER CONGRATULATES ROOSEVELT. Late Tuesday night, from his Palo Alto home in California, Mr. Hoover sent the following telegram to Gov. Roosevelt at the Biltmore hotel in New York City: "I congratulate you on the oportunity that has com? to you to be of service to the country and I wish for you a most suc cessful administration. In the common purpose of all of us I shall dedicate myself to every possible effort." Well and happily said. Senator-Elect Revnolds. Tuesday's election swept ' "Our Bob" into office Tuesday by a ma ority of around 253,000 over Jake F. Newell, his Republican opponent R. R. Reynolds, will succeed Sen ator Cameron Morrison, appointee of Governor O. Max Gardner to fill the unexpired term of the late Sen ator Lee S. Overman, as soon as he can be sworn In. Morrison was ap pointed only until a successor could be elected. Reynolds will fill out Overman's term until March 4, 1933, when he will embark on a six years term oi his own, having been elected for both periods. itoborr Kite Reynolds entered tt>e field in 1924, running second in a three-cornered primary race for the Democratic nomination for Lieu tenant Governor. Two ytars later he polled 92,000 votes in the Demo cratic primary a gainst Senator Overman. And last July he pooled more than 100,000 majority to defeat Senator Morrison for the Democrat ic nomination. The only public office he had ever been elected to before Was that of solicitor for the Ashevllle Judicial District, Reynolds is 47 years old. He was born June 18, 1884, In Asheville, His father. William Reynolds, was clerk of Buncombe County Superior foUrt. After being graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1905.

He has been a professional wrest ler, athletic instructor, patent'medi cine salesman, author, actor, motion picture producer. Since '"settling down" he has practiced his profes sion of law. and played politics on the side, Lespedeza seed pan number 19 has been purchased in Person coun ty for the harvesting of a home supply of seed for sowing on small grain next spring, says H.

The hour was at 11 o'clock a. m. of Nov. 11th, 1918 It was an event of such moment in world history that it is celebrated by the nations which participated in the great war. The day is known as Armistice Day and it is proper that it be appropriately cele brated. The Forgotten Man the Real Foundation. Walter H. Page, an eminent North Carolinian, who passed away about twelve years ago, was a man who saw things. He was a newspaper man and a thinker. He represented the United States at the court of St. James, London, during jhe Wil mju auminisirauon. Among his writings is found the following which coincides with the views held and expressed by Gov. Franklin D. Rosevelt, president elect : "In estimating a civilization it is the neglected and forgotten man more than any other that must be taken into account. When you build a house, you make the foundation the strongest part of it, and the house, however ornate its architecture, can pe no stronger than the foundation. A community is bot rich because it contains a few rich men,, it is not healthy because it contains a few strong men, it is not intelli gent because it contains a few men of learning, nor is it of good morals because it contains ^ood women? if the rest of the population also be not well-td-do, or healthful, in telligent, or of good morals. The common people is the class most to be considered in the struc ture of civilization. Moreover in proportion as any community in the organization of its society or in the development of its institutions lays emphasis on its few rich men, or its few 'cul tivated men, it is likely to forget and to neglect its very foundations. It is not these small classes that really make the community what it is, that determine the conditions of its health, the soundness of its social structure, its economic value and its level of life. The security and the soundness of the whole bodv are measured at last bv the condition of its weakest part." Clothes for the Needy Women volunteers sewing for the needy under direction of the Red Cross produced 296,000 garments last year, and will produce millions of garments In the winter of 1932-33. These will be from the millions of yards of cotton cloth distributed by the national Red Cross from the 600,000 bales of cotton turned over to the organization by. Congress. Cloth was sent to all chap ters requesting It, and later It was proposed to send some simple ready made garments, Including trousers, overalls, underwear, stockings and sox. Huge Task of Nurses Red Cross public health nurses, who work in hundreds of communities, are meeting the greatest demands in his tory for their services, due to the de pression. Visits in maternity cases, protecting the health of Infants and children, and aiding mothers In dis tress due to unemployment of the bread-winners hare taken them into thousands of homes. The nurses made 1,357,000 visits to or on behalf of indi viduals, and Inspected 949,000 school children. More than 58,000 adults were instructed in home hygiene and care of the sick. Blind Readers Get Books Dooks in braille for reading by the blind are made by women under Red Cross direction. Last year 2,813 such books were produced in single copy and 3,538 in double copies. Fiction, biography, history, economics and school books were among those print ed in braille. The Red Cross gives them to libraies for free distribution to blind readers. Red Cross to Enlist Great Army of Member* to Fight Distress Last year 4,004,459 men and w? men Joined the American Red Crosa as members during tbe annual roll call. Armistice Day to Thanksgiv ing Day. A peace-time army even greater than this will be needed in 1932 33 to support and carry en the nationwide relief work of the Red Cross. There are 3,639 Red Cross Chapters and they hare 10.000 branches. am Growth or Decline of Town in Citizens' Hands A town Is a business?your busi Bess. Vou are a part of that business the same as an employee is of an In dustrial plant. Your bread and but ter depends on the continued growth and prosperity of that business, and regardless of your station in life? regardless of the Job you hold, the , work you do or the business you are in. you are responsible. As an employee of a manufacturing plant you are a part of it; you must do good work, you must be sold on the product made or you are fired. The better the work you do, the more you make. As a part of your town, the same is true. Yon should know about your town ?It is yours, and what you do goes to make it a good town, a progressive i town, or?a bum town. You may think your town is not a good town?may be It Isn't; maybe it is "old-fash loned," maybe it has "Just growed"? but what have you done to make It any different? A town is Just as big 1 as the people In It, and you are the people! It is not the opinion and habits of the few shining lights that make a 1 community. True, there must be lead- ] ers, but when big Industries consider your town for location of a new fac tory, investment In present enter- ; prises, etc., It is the people In gen- , eral they are most Interested In? you and all the other people like you. ?Anderson Herald. Up to Town Merchant* to Meet New Conditions The Southwest merchants In coun cil In Kansas City reached certain col lective conclusions as to adapting themselves to changed and changing conditions of trade. They are going , in for collective buying, after the man- i ner of the chain stores. They also have learned the chain-store lesson of | attractive stocks, attractive fronts and attractive show windows. When town merchants combine on a policy of sprucing up, of orderly and inviting display, the effect will be seen all along Main street. Fur thermore, this effect will be conta- i glous. If the community spirit Is right, the sprucing up will become general. It will affect the homes, the | grounds and the condition of the ; streets. And when everything works out harmoniously, such a town, which is sure to be on one or more good ' roads, will be enticing to the motor- 1 1st. A rundown town or village offers no inducement for the tourist to tarry. '? ?Kansas City Star. < Build With Eye to Beauty It is a common sight In residential . sections of our cities to see unsightly rows of houses of the type which are built by the mile and sold by the foot. . They are Identical in design, planning and setting. If careful attention had been given to the fundamental prin ciples of good planning and designing, these same dwellings could have been built with far more pleasing results and at no greater expense. Those who ( build small houses become responsible not only for creating the desire to ' build attractively and economically, ' but also for preserving the Ideals which - lead people to build beautiful homes with loving hands and eager hearts. "Working" Through School The cooperative high school has been worked ont very satisfactorily in certain communities. The funds for this type of school are obtained by ap propriation from the tax moneys, Just the same as any other public school. The advantage of a co-operative school is that a boy may go to school so many days each week, and then work the rest of the time. This is usually managed by two students to the Job. While one is working, the other is studying, and vice versa. In this manner the employer gets full time, and the student gets an equal opportunity for work and study. Minnesota Zoning Law A toning enabling act authorizing the regulation of the location, size, use and height of buildings, the ar rangement of buildings on a lot, and the density of population in all dtles s of the second, third and fourth classes and In nil villages, and the adoption of comprehensive city plans pursuant ' to such regulation was enacted by the t Minnesota state legislature at its re- < cent session. Environment Is Important Today there is an ever-growing de- ' mand for the same rare and thought 5 in the setting and environment of the house as in the house proper, so that the whole may become a residence In which the out of doors Is as fully en ? joyed as the Interior, s t Laws Important Factor t No matter how much money is spent t | to make a house attractive through , I remodeling the exterior. It Is impos- , slide to get a thoroughly good look- 1 ; Ing Job unless the lawn too Is given ? i proper attention. 2 J P. S.
