rhall wEi biui' wun *>suu
Last April when Gainesville Georgia,
left prostrate by one of the most vicious tor
nadoes ever to strike this section, sent out
an appeal for help local people responded
generously with a gift to the Red Cross of
$1,400, which was raised in the city and coun
ty within a week. Shelbians heard the pa
thetic stories of dead and wounded, of wreck
ed homes and ruined businesses, of exposure
and privation, which followed in the wake of
the tornado and opened their purses for gen
erous gifts, many of them voluntary.
And that was good.
Now, seven months later, thousands of
nek and underprivileged here in Shelby and
Cleveland county ,are sending out their ap
peal for help through workers in the Red
Crocs roll call drive, and Shelby people have
answered with only $800 of the $1,500 being
asked. These people ask for only $100 more
for public work in the county than was given
eagerly and voluntarily last spring on an
emergency call. If we fail to raise the re
maining $700 asked for support of a Red
Cross nurse and general public health pro
gram in the county—that will not be so good.
The lack of response met by Red Cross
workers who have canvassed every home and
business house, if not every individual, can
not be explained by "hard times” or “I just
haven’t got the money to spare.” Those ex
cuses no longer hold water when people are
again buying new cars and new clothes at al
most a normal clip, when every Saturday sees
dozens of parties off on gay trips to football
games, and when crowds are regularly pack
ing the motion picture theatres.
Certainly no one will accuse Shelby folk
of selfishness or lack of generosity. If they
have failed to respond to the appeal of the
local Red Cross it is simply a matter of
thoughtlessness. They have not stopped to
picture the approximately 12,000 people in
Cleveland who are either victims or poten
tial victims of tuberculosis, spending weary
days in bed, knowing that they fight a los
ing fight; of the poor and ignorant who are
victims of dread social diseases; of young
mothers, sick and weary, who know not the
first principles of guarding their own and
their child’s health before and after child
birth.
It is people like these, right in our midst,
perhaps in the house two blocks behind our
own, who would be helped by the public
health program which the Red Cross hopes
to sponsor with its $1,500, and their need is
just as appealing as that of any victim of
tornado or flood.
THE ELECTION FIGURES ANALYZED
There has been much discussion in the
newspapers relating to the result of the elec
tion, and especially the fact that President
koosevelt received such an overwhelming
majority in North Carolina, and the further
fact that Mr. Hoey did not receive as great
majority as the other nominees on the State
ticket. It seems to us that both of these
statements are easily understandable.
In the first place, President Roosevelt
received a larger vote in all of the other
States than the Democratic nominees for
Governor received, which was evidently due
to the fact that a large number of people who
were nominally Republicans voted for Roose
velt for President but voted the Republican
ticket in State matters. North Carolina was
no exception to this. President Roosevelt
received a little over 74,000 more votes in!
North Carolina than Mr. Hoey, but his lead I
over the nominees in the other States was
greater proportionately than the vote in j
North Carolina. Mr. Hoey led President
Roosevelt in nine counties in North Carolina,
to wit: Ashe, Avery, Carteret, Henderson.
Madison, Perquimans, Polk, Transylvania and
Watauga, seven of these counties being in the
west and two in the East.
It is interesting to analyze the State
vote. It will be seen that Mr. Hoey ran
something over 20,000 votes behind the other
State nominees, which was unquestionably
the result of scratching occasioned by the
heated primary contests. This is evidenced
by the fact that, in those localities where the
opposition was strongest against Mr. Hoey
in the primary, the scratching was more ex
tensive in the election. This is not unusual
in any hotly contested primary fight. The
same thing occurred with Senator Reynolds
in the general election following his defeat
•# Senator Morrison in 1932, when Senator
Reynolds fell behind the remainder of the
State ticket by a larger number of votes
than obtained in the case of Mr. Hoey.
There is one rather remarkable phase of
this situation which has not been mentioned
in the various discussions, and that is that
Mr. Hoey received more votes in his race for
Governor than was ever given any other can
didate for Governor in all the history of
North Carolina. In addition to this, he re
ceived more than 25,000 more votes than
were cast in the primary for McDonald, Gra
ham and Hoey all combined, which is like
wise a most unusual result. For instance,
in the first primary, when the largest vote
was polled. McDonald, Graham and Hoey re
! reived a total of 516,873 votes, whereas,
Hoey received on November 3, a total of 542,
139 votes, which^exceeded the total vote of
all three primary candidates by more than
j 25,000 votes. Mr. Hoey’s majority over Gil
!liam Grissom tvas 271,296, which is quite suf
ficient and is in line with the tremendous to
|tal vote cast in this election, which broke all
j former records.
What Other Papers Say
WHY STRIKES FAIL
(Union Times)
Strikes tail on tlie picket line, under the present
set up of organized labor. Nobody denies the right of
the individual workers to combine with other indi
vidual workers for mutual protection and profit. No
body denies the right of such organizations to strike.
The law goes still further and allows ‘‘peaceful pick
eting." And right there is the milk in the cocoanut.
Can there be any such thing as "peaceful picketing1*
Not if the picketing is to be effective. To be effective
it must use force or abusive language or massed block
ade, itself a lawless act. How many people do you
suppose a peaceful picket would keep out of a mill
where the people desired to work? And when force,
in the shape of threats, abusive words or actual phy
sical violence, is used does not that mean the same
thing as taking over the functions of the state, be
coming a sort of superstate? So it seems to us. There
fore, organized labor will have to assume a different
attitude at the picket gate. They will have to be gov
erned by law, same as other individuals and groups,
nnd that’s about all that need be said about it. Regu
I mriy cuiitsiiiuLeu raws, io meet, ineir maius, 11 not al
ready upon the statute books, should be enacted and
placed there. And the laws must be Impartial, just
and fair to all. They must admit the right to work
where a man prefers to work, rather than strike. They
must clearly define the rights of all parties and be
enforced in all fairness. Is there anything wrong with
the above reasoning.
An official of the American Automobile associa
tion suggests that a girl try out her fiance in a traf
fic jam before she takes the fatal step. A good idea,
at that. If he drives with care and keeps his mind
on his work he. doesn’t love her much.—The New
Yorker.
A sociologist says the best thing for insane per
sons to do is to work hard. But, doctor, so many of
them aren't anything like that crazy.—Providence
Journal.

BOILING SPRINGS, Nov. 20. —
The .speech class at Boiling Springs
Junior College under the direction
of Mrs. Laura Yates Burnett has a
full program for the coming
months. Aside from participating in
the forensic activities of the Straw
berry Leaf tournament to be held
at Winthrop College, invitations
have been accepted to other col

mancers, a player's club to which
all students are eligible, is to pre
sent for Good Speech Week a
pageant entitled “The Empire of
Perfect English” written by Mrs.
Burnett. The calendar for the year
has booked six plays.
The revival of interest in this
department is most gratifying to
the student body. Mrs. Burnett's
instruction is a product of a rich
field of study. She has been a stu
dent under both Dr. and Mrs. Cur
ry of Boston, Mr. Clark of Chicago

100th annual North Carolina con

The initial session was devoted to
a memorial service for ministers
and their widows who have died
during the year. The afternoon
sermon was pjeached by Dr.
George Stoves of Memphis. Tenn..
and Walter Towner, secretary of
the Board of Christian Education,
will speak.
and Senator Walsh of Massachus

naval affairs chairmanship vacated
by Senator Trammell. Senator Black
of Alabama succeeded Walsh a^
labor chairman.
All Democrats
Perhaps it is needless to mention j
it, but all these chairmen are Dem-1

ly, such veteran Republicans as:
Capper of Kansas, McNary of Ore- 1
gon. Borah of Idaho. Johnson oi j
California, Norbeck of South Dako
ta and others would head many
senate committees, and a few sen

the house who would outrank many

But it is a good guess the Repub

six years hence

Even if other remedies have
