This, That, and the Other (The Chapel Hill Weekly) The idea was advanced, a long time back, by a writer in this paper, that perhaps the greatest benefaction of the late James 1 B. Duke was not his gift to edu cation, but the pleasure he gave ! to millions of people by distri- 1 buting among them tobacco at 1 a low price. But it was left to j the Southern Tobacco Journal, ' published in Winston-Salem, to 1 develop this theme. The con- ( tributor to the Weekly was en- gaged in more or less idle specu- ( lation—he did not realize that tobacco was responsible for so 1 much human achievement as is ( credited to it in the Winston-Sa- ( Jem periodical. ** * J In an issue now r several ) months old—which, however, I 1 have just happened to run a eross—the virtues of tobacco 1 thus set forth by G. E. Webb, J the editor: 1 “Mr Duke, the well-known to- 1 bacconist, who gave §40,000,000 < to foster higher education, has 1 made a magnificent gesture, but < the question is: Is he really con- < tributing any more to the cause < of thought with his money than i he formerly did with his to- - haceo? If we had time and space we could easily demon- 1 at rate in a neat little thesis of • forty or fifty thousand words that tobacco itself has done 1 more for mankind than all the formal schooling the race has had. “Tobacco induces a state of nervous tranquillity in w T hich it is possible to think, and think connectedly, for long periods. The individual who thinks edu- cates himself. “The world has gone ahead by leaps and bounds since Sir Wal ter Raleigh introduced tobacco to Europe. We will leave it to the scientists—to the profession al men of all sorts —if they are not superior in their knowledge (if not always in native ability) to the men of three hundred years ago, before tobacco was generally used. The medicos, the surgeons* the biologists, the astronomers, the naturalists, the engineers, the physicists, gener ally have achieved more during the last century thaiT was a chieved in all the ages of re corded history liefore tobacco came into * almost universal use.. This cannot.be merely a coinci dence ; the increased mental powers of the species must be definitely due to the use of this pleasant narcotic drug. “Mr. Duke’s $40,000,000 gift is a fine thing; but already he has done more than any univer sity can hope to do.” * * * Isn’t the editor of the Chat j ham Record. afraid that a | thunderbolt, carrying the wrath of God, will strike him dead when he saj r s that “O. Max Gardner is not the only pebble on the political beach?” Surely lie has been told often enough that the next governorship be | longs, absolutely, to Mr. Garcl | ner. To suggest that it doesn’t •’ is nothing less than high ! treason. CHATHAM RECORD The Highway Sign Nuisance V* *t t. .f km. *■ (The? Chapel HUL.Weekly) A motorist whq has traveled over several states writes to the Greensboro News about the ex cellence of the signs along North Carolina h%hways r and" the &mnr' endorsoff They are talking of the official direction %hat give Thfprjfcation about where the roadsteads t<v and the curves immediately ahead, what the; number of the highway is, and how far it is to the next town. So far, so good. But when it comes to the signs proclaiming the virtues of tooth-pastes and patent medicines, of shoes and underwear and collars, of safety razors and lubricating oils, ho tels and banks, North Carolina is as bad as any other state. Recently we were interested in reading of a legal fight a gainst the Vick Chemical Com pany's signs in South Carolina. Against the state’s efforts to re move the signs the company made the objection that the space on which they stood had been bought and .paid for, and that to maintain them was an inviolable property right. The Raleigh Times, expressing sym pathy with the state’s purposes, expressed the fear that, legally, the company was right, that the courts would refuse to sustain the contention that ugliness con stituted a nuisance. But we re call that, several years ago, the courts of New York did uphold such a contention wiiJi regard to Duke’s Mixture advertise ments painted on the sides of the Fifth avenue busses. The Times thinks that per haps advertising signs along the highways will flourish until civi lization reaches the point where the affront to the eye will preju dice people against the goods ad vertised. When that time comes, then of course vendors of various commodities, instead of finding it profitable to dis figure the highways, will find it a positive disadvantage, and there will be no more signs. God speed that day! But, in the meanwhile, it does seem that the enlightened portion of the public ought to have some protection against these miserable things. We hope the National Scenic Preservation Society, state gov ernments, and community clubs will pursue a vigorous campaign to end the blight. Mr. Ihrie Farrell spent a few days in Hamlet with Dr. Sowell last week.
