THE GLEANER GfUiMM. N. 0.. JULY 4. 1940 IMVBD ETUI THUHDAY J. D. KERNODLE, Editor >1.00 AYEAMITA^^ Entered at the Poetoffloe at Oraham. H. C., a* leoont-elaN matter. Republican Nominees At the national Republican convention in Philadelphia Wendell Willkie of New York, native of Indiana, won the nomination for President on the 6th ballot. Thirteen candidates were voted for. Willkie was third on first ballot. After that he was a steady gainer, except the 4th, and the sixth brought a unanimous vote. Sen ator Charles L. McNary of Or-' egon was named his running mate by aoclamation. "When hunger comes" who will feed Europe? The major part of that country is at war. The men, many thousands of them, are in the war doing mil itary duty, other thousands are prisoners of war, and still other thousands have fallen ou the battle field, in all running into millions. This huge man power has been drawn from fields and shops, producing nothing to contribute to the daily living of many millions of women, chil dren and helpless men. It's a problem that the nations at war are thinking about and will be come acute if the war is long drawn out. News 'n Views Driven' License Revocations About the number of-revoca tions of automobile driven' li censee the Revenue Department in Raleigh has sent out a table which gives the number report ed this year for the six months ending Jane 30th for the State's 100 counties. With only a few exceptions the revocations were for driving under influence of liquor. For the period they total 2,774, in which is includ ed 156 out of the State. An analysis of the table (6 moe.) shows 48 for Alamance, 15th from the top. Guilford topa the list with 201. In three counties, Gates, Hyde and Ter rell, none; two counties, Curri tuck and Jones, one each; in five oounties, two each. The high numbers with two exceptions are west of Wake, and the low numbers are ex treme eastern and western oounties. Car drivers are very forget ful. When they start out they cannot remember that they will lose their their driver's license, if they are caught driving un der the influence of liquor. It were better in every way that they forget their liquor. One thousand German and Italian prisoners of war were drowned yesterday when the British liner Arandon was tor pedoed by a Nasi U-boat off the ooast of Ireland. Two thou sand were aboard, destined for Canada. President Roosevelt will re quest $0,000,000,000 more for national defense, and the Con gress seems to be in aooord. The collosal appropriations bring to mind a motto of this oountry's t early days?"Millions for de fense bat not one oent for trib ate." I The Two World Fairs Tranportation, hotel and other h accommodations to the New ,, York "World's Fair have been re duced to such low rates that it is almost cheaper to go to New York than to stay home. The circular trips on the rail roads and the advantages of motor travel, have been made so attractive that it is now possible for thousands of persons who never could contemplate a jour ney from coast to coast to plan this Summer to go to both the New York and San Francisco fairs, and to see the great Amer ican country in which they live between the Atlantic and Pacific Coast. THE FOURTH. The outstanding day in Amer ican history is July 4th, the day from which dates the founding of a great nation in the Western Hemisphere. On that date, 164 years ago today, in Philadelphia, a charter of liberty and freedom was signed and proclaimed to the world. The 13 colonies were named the United States of America. They embraced the territory, not all of it, bordering the At lantic ocean, and east of the Mississippi river. Since then several times more has been added by purchase and extended to the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific ocean. The 18 sparsely populated colonies have grown into 48 sovereign states, making a great empire, ruled and governed by the people. For all of this we celebrate the Glorious Fourth, and ft is well to recall the motive that inspired the movement and1 remind the people of its great significance to the individual and the nation at large, and to succeeding genera tions. None too often can the people be reminded of the great boon of civil liberty and religious free dom?greater than anywhere else on earth. Hie Declaration of Independ ence proclaims them and the Constitution guarantees them. Read and ponder those and get the spirit and meaning ofI the Fourth. National Defense. By I. E. Jodc* Washington, D. C., July 2nd? Twenty-five or thirty years ago Germany stood out in front as a producer of manufactured goods chemicals, dyes, toys, games, etc. In the years between 1914-17 we discovered that Germany was a military nation far superior to other European powers. German sabotage in this country, such as the Black Tom exposition, Ger man diplomatic blunders, and at tacks upon our ships by German raiders drove us to war. The United States built up such gigantic military strength that the war was won for the Allies. We captured a few ships that have since been declared "obsolete," and accepted a ware house full of European 101Tb that have turned qut to be of very little value. But we did gain many rich re wards when we seised German patents and proceeded to develop our own dyes and a variety of chemicals, and free ourselves from depending upon Germany for many goods and products which are now made better here at home within our own borders. The avowed object to "make the World safe for democracy" failed, and for about 20 years the United States has been minding its own business and leading the World in discoveries and devel opment of the more abundant life. In a quarter of a century we have made gains in our object tives that are more important than in all previous times since die landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth. ? ... ZM., In 1921 a "disarmament con ference" met in Washington, and a treaty was signed by important nations that pledged themselves to reduce their navies. The Unit ed States sunk some of its ships and for many years our Nation showed its faith in other Govern ments by reducing the volume of our military preparedness. The United States developed mass production of products of every class that might possibly be used or employed for human and eco nomic improvement. We were at peace with the World. Meanwhile the United States attained mastery in the fields of science, inventions, chemistry, and other activities for the pro duction of war machinery that would make things dangerous for Nations and countries that challenged democracy. France and England maintained military establishments of "brave men" who worked about half as many hours a day for human improve ments as" Germany's people did for destruction of their old enemies. After a lew exciting weens 01 the European war we Americana J can see things and measure re sults better than we could at first Our own atmosphere has cleared end we can look back over recent European events and think, and plan, more sanely, since we face the fact that German mechaniz ed warfare is as perfect in its construction as the peacetime mechanism in the United States. There has been a "rude awak ening" in Washington that re veals hasty, mistaken and poor judgment on the part of the ad ministration and the Congress, including leaders of all political beliefs. However, there is gen eral conviction backed by public sentiment that this is not Ameri ca's war, and one way to stay out of it is for the Government to stick within its rules as a neu tral. We seem to have challenged other warring nations to come over here and shoot us up. before we are prepared to receive them. The United States took a couple of years off from its peaceful routine and spent. its time preparing to win the World War. Plenty of preparation brought us success. The decision has again been reached that this Government must carry out speedy plans for National De fense. Billions of money has been voted for that purpose. Our factories need a year's time to deliver unlimited military sup plies through processes of mass production. After that any of those Dictators who desire to take chances can come over here and get licked worse than they were in 1918. They are too busy"over there" to bother with us now. So, lets be patient and consistent and safeguard our Law of Neutrality from getting out of joint. Oldest Temperance Society in South Meets at Pleasant HiU July 7th. On Sunday, July 7th, at 2 p.m., the oldest temperance society in the South, and the oldest exist ing society in the Unite# States, will hold its annual meeting at Pleasant Hill church, a few miles East of Liberty. Cale R.Burgess, head of the Anti-Saloon League of North Carolina, has promised to address the association. The origin of the temperance movement is attributed to Benja min Rudh, who was one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. The remarkable thing about Pleasant Hill Temperance Soci ety is the fact that all temper ance societies which had their birth 60 or more years ago, ex cept Pleasant Hill, have long since ceased to function. There was a large tannery in Randolph County which employ ed a number of men back in 1883 Stephen White from Orange co unty worked in this tannery ,and noted that some of the men who were employed would get"lively" at certain times from an over | dose of whiskey. Mr. White be came interested in forming a society to reform these metf from drinking. Hon. John Long, a member of Congress at that time, heard of this movement at the tannery, and invited the men interested to meet at his home. Twenty people attended this meeting, which was held in Sept, 1838, and a mong those present was Senator William Albright. He had heard of the meeting. Mr. Albright was a stiller, himself, and was anx ious to ascertain what would be said at the gathering. After at tending the meeting he returned home to think the matter over, and decided the distilling busi ness was not a proper course to pursue. He converted his bar room into a store. Mr. Albright lived on the main highway be tween Petersburg and Fayette ville, then the principal markets of our State. Judges, preachers, and politicians called at William Albright's for lodging and to share his hospitality. Senator Albright and a few others organized' the Pleasant Hill Temperance Society in Nov ember, 1833, which makes the organization almost 107 years old. About 33 members joined at this first session. The pledge was that "Those who became mem bers must refrain from drinking liquor of all kinds as well as sell ing and manufacturing it." This society convened its sessions at different churches in Chatham, Orange, Alamance, Randolph, and Guilford counties. In fact, almost monthly meetings were held in the above mentioned counties until 1860. After the Civil War the meetings were not so numerous. For the past 50 years Pleasant Hill and Cane Creek churches have been the home offices of the society. At Pleasant Hill on July 4th and Cane Creek on Dec ember 25th are fixed dates for meetings. The society has not failed to meet annually at Pleas ant Hill,the place of its inception, for a period of almost 100 years. This year the society meets Sun day, July 7th, at 2 p. m. Pleasant Hill Temperance So ciety was the first to be organiz ed in the South. Its membership includes many thousands of peo ple. The society's influence is statewide. The only marker, so far as the writer knows, ever to be erected to the memory of a temperance society in North Carolina, is the monument at Pleasant Hill. The public is cortially invited to attend.
