THE new method of parking certainly has increased the driving space on Main Street. 0O0 BUNCOMBE County seems to be another place where they vote dry and drink wet, or is it they prefer "Mourn tain Dew" to the ABC brand. oOo-^ ?

Bob Reynolds right in his fight to save American jobs for Americans i:i stead of letting all grades of immigrants come over here not only to take the jobs from Americans, but to live on our tax payers through the relief rolls. Go to it, Bob, we are with you. ? .. 0O0 WE owe our apologies to Charlie Ford for having used " Mr." before his name in a recent write up of the local tobacco warehouses recently. Charlie says he just, wants to be plain Charlie Ford to all, tobacco growers especially, ^e will be the proprietor of the Planters Warehouse, i $? . ? it >v - I V\J\J I THE pnrf&of tobacco on the Georgia markets didn 't seem to be as low as was expected by many on account of the large crop. It was also noted tobacco was not of a good grade. Let's hope that tobacco prices, like some other things, will "improve with age" to the extent that prices wilib# better when the market opens here. oOo THE Iftbacco growers seem greatly dissatisfied with, the opening prices of tobacco and are making Mass pro test with talk of closing the markets. It would proba bly be worth more to the growers to learn from experi ence that they should make more home supplies and thereby less cash crops. Forcible Control will never solve the problem. ooo THE coimtry appears to be much perturbed on the third term question. The theory of term limitation, both in the State and Nation follows that of one of the well known religious denominations, to make a change be fore the individual or the citizens get worn out or too old; to iittxoduce new blood and new ideals. It has worked mignty well in the past. ? "" ' " * ? oOo ? IT is noticedpthaf Chief of Police Nolan, of Charlotte has adoptjjfJU^fllogan of "friendliness" in his depart ment and has instructed his patrollmen to be especially friendly, court gous and accommodating to all persons whom they come in contact, whether it is for arrest or to give information or assistance. This is a good policy for all towns to adopt, including Louisburg. | ftfin . . ? i ? ?? ? > i ... t MAXWELL expresses favor for a modernized St*te Highway system- If he would make the present system more responsive to John Q. PubUc, and. secure a return of the power of conducting the schools of the State to the local public, and reduce the State's expenses by the elim - ination of bo many bureaus, Commissions, etc., and thereby reduce taxes, he might make even a better run. 0O0 1 WHILE a nUmber of our citizens have not beeome reconciled to the new parking regulations general criti cism has' decreased a lot. As the use of the new idea grows so is the wisdom of it recognized. Let's join hands, officers and citizens alike and try it out. If we find it isn't right and what we need we can exchange it for another system. We will at least have added ex perience. oOo I f lTHE United States government has at last drifted up on the proper plan to handle Japan.

For instance at the intersection of Court and Market Streets the walkway can be moved' to connect the sidewalks on Market Street instead of directly in front of the ABC Store and make room for another car. It would also be approved by those citizens who. being opposed to the ABC system, dislike to be directed to the entrance of the store by a walkway. There are probably other places in town wherein the same economy can be used to advantage. -M. w? '? oOo ~ ~ THE WPA "STRIKES" ' THERE is both tragedy and comedy to found in the various "strikes" of WPA workers which followed Congress' passage of a bill providing that these relief beneficiaries should work full time for their '"money, ra ther than a day or two a week. In general, the strikers demand "higher wages," in asmuch as working hours were to be increased. And this shows the amazing attitude of a segment of relief workers toward their jobs. They have come to regard relief as a permanent profession ? not as a temporary and unfortunate necessity. They believe the taxpayers owe them a life-long living, whether or not th*y produce anything useful. They regard themselves as.' a class apart, signed up indefinitely on the publie payroll. - Those WPA officials who announced that striking workers would be discharged after five days, simply did their duty. And they did more than tliat ? they illus trated the forgotten faat that relief should be regarded as aomething to leave at tlje earliest opportunity, and not as a career. It is a salutary thing that many of the strikers returned to their relief jobs in a chastened mood. Relief is a form of charity? rthat and nothing more. It should be provided when absolutely necessary, but it should not be classed as a "profession." 1 ' oOo . WORSE COULD HAPPEN THAN TO LOSE THE COVETED 0. K.

All the same, when the school1 authorities cry that tbey are about to' lose their accredited standing with the Southern Asso ciation of Colleges ft Secondary Schools, we cannot' resist asking (and answering) a couple of questions. 1. What Is the SACSS? Why, an organization of pedagogues d?voted principally and quite properly, to the welfare of other pedagogues. 2. What Is this fearsome thing that bappens when a school loses its accredited standing? Why, If they go to other than State institutions, its graduates have to stand college-entrance examinations. In line, they have to show that t'hey know their stuff Instead of simply presenting an accredited certlflcate to that effect. ? Charlotte News. THERE is a great deal of constructive thought in the above comment, which deserves consideration. The State School system is undoubtedly too much under the influence of unnecessary monetary schemes. ? FOR RENT ? SPACE IN THIS PAPER Will Arrange To Suit GOOD NEIGHBORS?
