C. as second class mall matter. *' Interest in the forthcoming whiskey controU elec tion is already taking on interesting proportions. President Koosevelt delivered his veto message of the Veterans bonus measure to Congress Wednesday. Immediately following the House overrode the veto in a Vote of 398 to 22. ' ?< The Board of County Commissioners of Franklin County are to be congratulated upon their decision to co-operate with the relief agencies and have a good por tion of the relief money sj>ent in Franklin County expen ded upon the project of remodeling the Court House. Besides providing a much needed improvement in our temple of justice we will have the advantage of having This money put to a good permanent public use, instead of wasted on some creek bottom or in some other project of no public or private value. It is understood that Franklin County has the money to finance the small por tion it will have to finance and will not have to make a levy for this purpose and that the Representative of the Belief Department will visit Franklin County today. It is hoped that provision can be made for this work to begin at once, so that it can be completed before the August term of Court, and will furnish employment for a large number who are now idle. _ WHAT IS "AMERICANISM?" We hear on all sides many discussions as to exactly what is meant by the word "Americanism." What, pre cisely, is this American spirit and tradition which, some complain, is vanishing under the strain of economic dis tress f It seems to us a very simple matter. The American tradition is the tradition of individual liberty. The American spirit is the force that impels every American to pursue his own chosen course to the limit of his ability. Under any genuine definition of Americanism every in dividual is free to travel as far and as fast in any direc tion as he choosbs or is able to go. By that definition of Americanism no man is bound for life or for longer than he pleases to any group, class or party. Once he so binds himself he is sacrificing his inborn American right of individual choice, whether he affiliates with a political party such as the Communists, which dictates to each of its members just how they shall act under any conditions, or with a labor organiza tion which denies him the right to work at whatever job he pleases, or with any other class or group short of the whole nation. One cannot admit even to himself that he is limited by anything but his own ability and an essential respect for the rights and liberties of others, and be true to the American tradition. / We have no idea how many people have sacrifk'ed their independence for fancied security; the temptation has been great, but we fancy fewer have succuplbed to it than is generally believed. We think the om American spirit of personal liberty of thought allq action still survives and, in the long run, will/rontinue to rule America. "HOW'S BUSINESS?" The commonest quejrfion when two men meet is: "How's Business?" ifie answer may be anything from "Rotten!" to "SwpHT" It is our observation that about half of those o?/<vhom the question is asked answer to the effect thptf" things are moving along." Muchxiepends upon what sort of business thi man is talkim^about. A great deal more depends ujmmi what par t/m the country he does business in, apparently. We have just seen a survey of business conditions in the whole United States, based upon one of the numerous reliable indicators of business activity. We all know that the difference between good business and bad busi ness is largely a matter of how fast money passes from hand to hand. The best index of that is the monthly re ports from the banks of the number and volume of checks cleared. Leaving out New York City, where these check ex changes may represent not so much buying and selling of merchandise as speculations in securities, these April figures show, on the whole, an improvement in business compared with a year ago. Intwenty-thrVe states ? New York, South Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Arkansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, North and South Dakota, New Mexico, Colorado, Wyom ing, Montana, Idaho, Washington, California and Ari zona ? business is definitely better than at the same time last year, by this index. In nine states ? New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Delaware, ^ Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Georgia, Missouri and Nebraska, it is just about the same as a year ago. In the other sixteen states ? Maine, Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jer sey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Virginia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Illinois, Utah, Nevada and Oregon, business is not as active as at this time in 1934. Summed up, here is the answer. In twenty-three states, business is better. In nine states about the same. In sixteen states not as active. ? Ex. (? The Longest Month of the Year ? - l>y A. B. Chapin j *> * | C. C. C. Camp For Franklin County We have had quite a number of inquiries in tbe County Agent's Office for the last several days about a C. C. C. Camp that is to work in cooperation with the Soil Erosion Program that is being conducted in this County. About the only definite infor mation that I can give as County Agent is that soon after the first ot this year, 1935, the Extension Department of State College was given information froii) Washing ton that Counties in which Soil Erosion work in being conducted wil( be given a C. C. C. Camp for the purpose of aiding farms on which terraces and other Soil Con servation Is being done. I had a conversation with Mr. John W. Goodman who is Ass't to Director of Extension Work in this Sta*.e some few days ago In which by stated that we are still in line^ftir a Camp, but as to when It vdl be brought in the County hy??i un able to tell at the prejje-nt. It is understood by'quite a num ber of leaders ihe State that Franklin County will get a Soil Erosion Demonstration Project al loted to Ja within a very sbort time. Mrf G. L. Winchester, Teach er or Vocational Agriculture in F^rfnklinton High School, has <15een working on this project In cooperation with farmers in his district. They have applied for this area and a large percentage of the farmers have signed a peti tion to the Soil Erosion Division of U. S. Department of Agricul ture for this area to be put on the watersheds of Cedar and Buffalo Creeks. This Area, I understand, has been inspected by Officials from Washington, D. C., and they have approved and recommended to the Department of Agriculture that this Area be accepted as the next Demonstration Project In the State? They recommend that an Area composed of 25,000 Acres be accepted for this Demonstra tion. A statement in the News and Observer a few days ago, stating that a C. C. C. Camp had been alloted to Franklin County is the only information that we have had with the exception of the statement from Mr. Goodman that we had been promised a Camp. I am .unable to say whether the C. C. C. Camp mentioned in the paper a few days ago is to func tion with the program that we are already conducting in the County or whether it will be with the Area that has been recommended by the Soil Erosion Division of the U. S. D. A. or with both. It Is my understanding that the final budgeting of the money for Soil Erosion work for the differ ent States in the Union has not definitely been prorated by the Washington Office. As soon as this is done, then the machinery for doing these big Jobs will be set up and we will know what to expect In Franklin County. E. J. Morgan. County Agent.
