Is life that God now grants to me— A segment of eternity! —Thomas Curtis Clark in “Front Rank.” Third Parties The launching of a “third party” in this year’s presidential campaign was not unexpected by shrewd political ob servers, but nobody foresaw, a month ago, the combination of elements which have united to form the new Union par ty. Back of its presidential candidate. Representative William Lemke of North Dakota, there are lined up, so far, Fath- rblin and his Union for Social ISl -wiih hia - following of devotees of the Old Age Revolving Pension plan. Mr. Lemke himself is spokesman for a large element of fanners and others in the northwest who hold that the way out of our econo mic difficulties is by the issuance of jnore money, regardless of its gold back ing. Not every third party movement has been entitled to be taken as seriously as this one. Whether or not the Union party will deflect more votes from the Democratic ticket or from the Republi can candidates no one now can predict; but that it will get a large vote in many states is hardly to be doubted. It is a new factor in the campaign, and one seriously to be reckoned with by both sides. Literally, of course, the Union party is not the “third” party. Officially rec ognized in every state is the Socialist party. In nearly all states the Commun ist party has long had a place on the-of ficial ballot. In several states the Far mer-Labor party is the dominant one. Indeed, the Farmer-Labor party, with one senator and three representatives in congress, and the Progressive party, with a senator and seven representatives might properly be called the “third” and “fourth” parties. The test of a political party’s real strength, however, lies in its ability to carry states for its presidential electors. Only twice since the Civil war has a third party done that. The People’s party, in 1892, won 22 electoral votes, ^and the Progressive party of 1912 polled V88 votes for Theodore Roosevelt in the / electoral college. Its name remains, ‘ but its influence does not extend far be- - yond the borders of Wisconsin. The I^Rfipublicans who flocked to the Bull .Moose standard under “Teddy’s” lead- ^ /- ership are now the nucleus around which - th^'^publican party itself has been re- g^^i!''orgMized. _ See Cartdma First piSBf past when -traveling fo*’ started on a commercial scale there was a slogan, V '*18ee America Ffrst”» " Being local In our sphere let us bring the fldogian doser home and say, “See D Ci^iina Plrat^*. »And let os subdivide it and say ■‘See Wilkes County JBMsfcwir "■ How many havej^^^sd for many,- to'see iTcertalh mB^^ain or rwk that was advertfeecl as ' a! scenlc^spot.

So much fof Wilkes county. And now let us turn our attention to North Caro lina by quoting the following from the West Jefferson Skyland Post: Carl Goerch, in his State magasine, says that the words, beauties, and enjoyments offered by the paradise of peaks in Western North Caro lina are far more generally appreciated by out siders than by North Carolinians themselves. This is only partly true, since we, who grew up amongst this show of majestic nature at its best, often do not exclaim to the extent our guests do. but down within our deepest consciousness, without exception, we all love our hills and moun tains far more than any outsiders could imagine. Just take us “down the country” for a few months or a year, and then bring us back, if anyone wants to see how human beings register real joy and happiness* K is true that one-half of our state knows lit tle about the other half. Many of us have never been to the seashore, and many eastern North Carolinians have never been to the mountains. It would be well for us to follow Mr. Goerch’s sug gestion and visit back and forth with each other before we start visiting the show places of other states and other lands. Speaking of our scenery, Mr. Goerch says: Those who have never witnessed the gorgeous mountain scenery—awsome peaks, lovely valleys, rippling streams, crashing waterfalls and love ly flowers and foliage—^will be staggered by the magnificence of the display. Commenting on his statement, Mr. Miller, of the Charlotte Observer, says: Goerch’s counsel should be heeded by the peo ple of Eastern North Carolina especially. They need not only to see what nature has- done for this other half of their state but, also, to broaden their horizon and come into a more understanding view of the social, political and economic judgments of their neighbors. Let us begin at home by seeing Wilkes first. North Carolina, America and then if we are able and inclined to go farther, see any of the world that suits our fan- cy. _ WHA’T FARMING PAXS BEST? * —^ (Progressive Farmer) No truer words about agriculture have ever been written than these: “Study it when and where you will, you will find this true in the long run: The farmer who farms first of all to have a good farm and make a good living makes a good living and some money too. But the farmer who makes it a matter of farming only to make money makes neither money nor a living.” “Seek ye first the kingdom,” said the Master, “and all these things shall be added unto you.” So we may say that in farming the farmer who seeks first of ail to make a farm and a home of which he and his children can be proud—all these other things shall be added unto him. In other words, the man who aims first at a good farm and a good living on the farm usually nets the most cash also. Sunday School Lesson By REV. CHARLES E. DUNN THE COMING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN POWER Lesson for July 5th, Acts 2:1-11, Golden Text, Acts 1:8 On the day of Penticost there occurred a very remarkable demonstration of spiritual power. The disciples of Jesus, gathered in the early morning for worship, were suddenly seized by and inspired by the breath of God and inspired to speak in many tongpies. So unusual was their behavior that they seemed to be intoxicated. The fruits of Pentecost were three-fold. First, and most obviously, the disciples felt a new en ergy pulsating within them. In the second place, their sense of fellowship was greatly reinforced. They seemed bound together by the cords of a corporate solidarity. And finally they were lifted to a height where they saw life from a fresh perspective. Fortunately this spiritual vitality is still avail able for we are the children of a dynamic, living universe. One vital illustration of this truth is to be found in the person of Toyohiko Kagawa, the Japanese prophet and saint who has been ad dressing such crowded audiences all over Ameri ca and Canada. Although his command of Eng lish is defective, and his bodily appearance un impressive, partly because of the inroads of tu berculosis and trachoma contracted in the slums of Robe, one feels that here indeed is a man of God captured by a divine impulse. Now Ragawa’s career began with a - close study of the New Testament; the teachings of which he accept^ litea4|gr HMU>ner of St. PraneiB. . his faiidlbr, al^-^. doning the public carter he had irnffeipated. he plunged into the slums there to share his few possessions with beg^un and thieves. Later he preadied in the ship;^izds and mills of Japan, and organised its fiirt labor union. More re cently he has develop^ a series of cp-oi«rative organizations ’^riiich he belityeh to contain secret'^df a truly CSu^t^^ j^onomic oij^.

BI0K8ON It was In the days, of Dives and LasAruA^' It’s just as bard to eat a thing one doesn’t like as It Is to refuse a thing he does like. True chivalry has lost none of iU Medieval glory. - A Judas is Just as obnoxious today as he was In the days of the Saviour. AFIhat apPMrs to be an "oasis” in the mind of Blhoy when he qnituates from , school Is a de- ' sert, and In stead 0 f his ' pathday being rStrewn with ■r^oses, it will be hedged with thorns and thistles. The greatest teacher In all th'e world—a little child. A benevolent officer—one who will give a criminal a “tip” so that the criminal may get away and. thereby avoid the necessity of an arrest and a trial. Some people are old at twenty while others are young at sixty. Patriotism and expediency do not always mean the same thing. Calf-worshlpping today is as fashionable as it was in the days of Moses. If a person is right with him self, he Is liable to be l ight with everybody else. It’s no less a crime to charge extortionate fee for services, or to attempt to destroy the good character of an individual than It is to take corn from his crib or money from his pocket. St. Peter will pick his own jury to pass upon the eliglbUlty of applicants into his kingdom. A man unconsciously makes a great sacrifice, who attempts to govern his neighbors, but makes no effort to govern himself. Great is the stroke that strikes the “Lucky .Strike.” A true disciple will follow his Master six days In the week and not forsake him on the seventh. B>en a political worm will squirm when his own toes are trodden on. Only a “puny pygmy” will push his opponent in the ditch and then play “purty-boy” when he attempts to get out. \ Generally speaking, people who follow “quack” methods of “re- doocing” seem to need a balance between the size of the body and the capacity of the brain. Strength is often found in ap parent weakness. The tax-payer as well as the tax-spender should have a sayso on the tax question. If people should all stay well and behave themselves, doctors, lawyers, and preachers would have to change their occupations.

DROUGirr«Ar AH) - FARMERS IN N. C Raleigh, June 29. —• Wank Parker, statistieiaii for the feder- al-st{ite crop reporting service, said today the recent drought may reaet .to the farmers’ advant age, particularly in the ease of early potatoes, which are bring ing unusually^high prices. Department of agriculture re ports from ‘ Pantego. Bllsabeth City, and Tyrrell county show prices for No. 1 grade potatoes are about |6 per barrel, he said. News dispatches from Columbia, Tyrrell county, report a |B00,000 potato crop. Parker added the yield per acre of potatoes was higher this year because farmers left their potatoes in the ground, permit ting them to mature more fully the normally. The delay In har vesting was possible because oth er states did not harvest 'because of the drought. However, he ex plained, favorable rains early in June revived the crop. “The drought undoubtedly has damaged most crops and there probably will be a shortage in many of them, but we say it may result in prosperity for some farmers—and ruin for a few,” Parker said. “This is particularly true of early potatoes. The potato farmer may be better off than If his harvesting had gone ahead usual.” Nkw TRIAL DENIED FOR DWIGHT BEARD Dallas, Tex., June 29.—Judge Grover Adams today refused to grant a new trial for Augustus Dwight Beard, 26-year-old North Carolinian, sentenced to death April 10 for the murder of ei- Detective John Roberts during a garage holdup. Frank Ivey, counsel for the condemned man, asked for a new trial on the grounds of irregu larities in the jury room.

The theory that the night raid ers. known to have included from 11 to 18 men who were dressed in white sheets and wore masks over their faces, acted because of religious motives was given after victims of the raids reveal ed the assaults followed charges of alleged Immoral conduct or re puted whisky selling The floggings came to light during an assault trial Involving the 14-year-old girl victim of the gang. Judge R. Hunt Parker, of Roa noke Rapids, ordered the girl’s mother, who testified in her be half, to bare her head ip the court room.
