THE COURIER VVBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY Wm. C. Hammer, Editor Thursday, October 13, 1927 Entered as second class mail matter la the postoffice at Asheboro, N. C. For President Coolidge to talk about economy is all bunk. He saves $12.86 on lead pencils in the govern ment departments in a year but when le went to Black Hills he took nine railroad cars elegantly furnished and he was accompanied by a party of eighty people on the train. Advance preparation at the summer capitol in South Dakota, telegraph and te’e phone wires were variously estimated to cost from forty to two hundred thousand dollars. This lavish luxury of the Coolidge train and the enor mous expenses, preparation for him in advance, and the expense to the government to maintain and support lis company of eighty people are matters about which the American people should be more concerned. BUY AT HOJVlrJ Ever a pertinent subject is the question of patronizing of home mer chants or the buying of goods else where. The merchants in small towns Bsually complain that their trade is feeing lured to the larger towns and cities. These larger towns and cities, in turn, complain that the cream of the business in their town is going to still larger trade centers. All com plain that the mail order houses are making inroads on local business. Various and sundry arguments, all good, have been advanced to show that it is better to trade at home than elsewhere. The latest note ^lid one which has not been stressed recently as that advanced by the Wyoming Press, which has this to Say: Every community hap, its mail or der and out-of-town ^Buyers, but for tunately for itself, they are few. The fare is always thef same: “You can buy cheaper—”. Frequently appar ent economics are affected, but when feonest checffc is made they are appar ent ratheg than real. If purchase is made by mail it is fey catalogue description, not selec tion; it is for cash, not credit; time is list and added expense involved in •correspondence and carrying charges. K the article proves not altogether what was expected, it never affords a feeling of satisfaction. It is kept leeause it was “cheap.” Count in the many factors involved in out-of town buying, and the home merchant «*an meet them, article for article. But there is a broader side to buy ing at home, a selfish, community consideration that can’t be ignored by the citizen. The community is no bet ter than its business makes it and if its business is sent to some other community it is that community which prospers, while the home town suf fers. If you don’t trade with your own merchants they cannot trade with you. Thus even could economies be made by out-of-town buying the ultimate ill effect would far offset any possible individual saving. If the community does not prosper no one in it can prosper. That, is a thought to keep. Sow Wheat This Fall Following: Soybean Crop Raleigh, N. C., Oct. 10.—The best field on the farm to plant some wheat this fall is the one where soybeans were grown this summer. The reason for this, as given by E. j C. Blair, extension agronomist at j State College, is that a good acre j yield of wheat may be produced after soybeans with the least amount of work. Mr. Blair admits that wheat planted after red clover will ©utyield that planted after soybeans but he says that summer breaking of the j land is always hard and often impos sible except . where soybeans have ken grown. “After soybeans,” says Mr. Blair, “the land can be worked into excellent shape with the disc harrow without larmg to put the plow to use at all. Stirring the soil only four or five ncbes deep will prevent excessive freezing and heaving during the com ing winter. It will be easy to disc ■oder the soybean stubble and get the wheat planted before October 25. An aariy stand means a better yield.” Wheat after corn, cotton or tobac co means that the grower will have trouble in disposing of the old stalks. This is not true where wheat is plant ed after soybeans. Usually, also, the yield of wheat is comparatively low after corn or cotton because it is accessary to wait too late for seeding file crop. If the com is cut and shock ed, to permit earlier planting, the lend where the shocks stand will be left out and the yield consequently lowered. All things considered, the field that was in soybeans this past summer is , the best field to plant to wheat and in Mr. Blair’s opinion, the same , thing will be true in the case of oats, lye or barley. We wish to thank the people of die community for the many deeds of (■feus shown us during the sick les and death of our husband and ither and for the many beautiful seal offerings.—Mrs. J. T. Gardner \ Fall Was Faithless Public Officer Says The Supreme Court Decision On Teapot Dome Oil Leases Severely Criticizes Cabinet Official. I The United States Supreme Court handed down a decision Monday order ing the return to the government the naval oil reserve fields in Wyoming, involved in the Teapot Dome lease made by Albert B. Fall, Secretary of i the Interior in President Harding s ! cabinet, to Harry F. Sinclair. The I court held that all the facts in the case showed that the lease of the government reserves was made by j Fall to Sinclair fraudulently and in conspiracy against the government of the United States. The opinion hand ed down by the highest court in the land was severe in its criticism of Al bert B. Fall. Referring to the pay ment of $35,000 in Liberty Bonds to Fall by Sinclair and later $70,000 of I $200,000 in bonds which were hand ! ed to Fall’s son-in-law, the court said ! that this “strengthens and confirms j j the inference that Fall had been wil J ling to conspire to defraud the United | States; and, taken in connection with other circumstances, it is persuasive j j evidence of such conspiracy between, I him and Sinclair.” “The clandestine j | and unexplained acquisition of these ; bonds by Fall,” continues the court,, [“confirms the belief, generated by j other circumstances in the case, that he (Fall) was a faithless public of-1 ficer.” It will be recalled that six years ago the Elk Hills naval oil reserves in California were leased by Secretary j Fall to Edward L. Doheny and the Teapot Dome reserves in Wyoming by I the same government official were handed over to Harry F. Sinclair. The circumstances under which these leas es were made aroused the country and , led the Senate’to investigate the mat- j ter. Three years ago the Senate in vestigating committee uncovered a scandal with reference to the leases j which rocked the country to its foun- j dations and drove from public office j under a cloud government officials j high and low. Since the investigation j one after another court actions have | been taken until finally the Supreme Court has declared that both leases, Elk Hills and Teapot Dome, were fraudulent. Both oil reserves will re vert to the government, opinion in be half of the government regarding the Doheny lease of Elk Hills having some time ago been reached by the court. The next step in this national scan dal will be the trial next week of Fall and Sinclair on criminal conspir acy charges growing out of the Tea pot Dome leases. J. E. Allen Makes Good Record Selling Insurance J. E. Allen, of Liberty, was in Asheboro on business Saturday. Mr. Allen, who was for five years head of the Liberty high school, and later principal at Chase City, Va., is now located in Liberty engaged in the life insurance business. Mr. Allen is a representative of the Jefferson Stan dard Life Insurance Company, of Greensboro, working under the super vision of the Home Office Agency. During the past two months Mr. Al len has had the distinction of leading his 52 brother agents in nine counties both in the number of applications taken and total amount of life insur ance placed. Mr. Allen has been in Liberty for the past six weeks and expects to make it his home. He bought a house and lot there when he w'as principal of the high school ex pecting at some time to return there permanently. Growers Protest Low Price Of Weed Hold Meeting At Danbury And Agree To Cut Acreage In Half Next Year. Tobacco growers in Stokes, Surry, Rockingham, Forsyth, Yadkin, Davie and Davidson counties voiced their disapproval of the low price being paid for the weed on the market at Winston-Salem in a mass meeting at Danbury Monday. Tobacco farmers in Randolph and in other counties, as for that matter, are dissatisfied with the prices on the Winston-Salem market. But the farmers in the coun ties named above, those who produce the larger amount of the tobacco that is sold on the Turin City market, gave vent to their disapproval Mon day by drawing up a set of resolutions condemning the R. J. Reynolds To bacco Company and several of the other big tobacco manufacturing cor porations for the low prices which they are paying for the farmers’ to bacco and pleding themselves to sell no more tobacco on the Winston Salem market until after Saturday. This date was set because the farmers will meet in force in Winston on that day to endeavor to reach an agree ment with the tobacco buying com panies. The farmers have requested these companies to have representa tives there and they have also invited Governor McLean and O. Max Gard ner. The farmers at the Danbury meet ing agreed that they produced this year the best tobacco in fourteen years, that they had grown the kind the manufacturers had advised them thev wanted in their business, but Health for Female* ' in Open-Air Exercise There seems to be do reason why a woman or girl should not get as much enjoyment out of life as any man or boy. Too many of our sex consider themselves hothouse flowers. If the weather is cold or stormy they will not venture outdoors. The sun must be shining and the weather warm be fore they will spend any time outside. Whether it is cold or warm, calm or stormy, every woman and girl should spend at least three hours daily in the open air. Not merely resting, but walking, washing or playing some game. Being in the fresh air is all right in a way, but to get 100 per cent value out of the good air, one should exercise in It. Even if the ex ercise consists only of deep breathing, this, at least, exercises the lungs. I find that too many women* neglect their breathing. They very seldom take a deep breath. It is easy to get into the habit of taking the deep breathing; expanding the lungs to the limit if only two or three time a day. Doing this indoors is of little value. The fresh air should be taken ad vantage of. By this means, alone, one can obtain assurance against lung troubles. And there is no cost what ever for this treatment.—rsychology Magazine. Embryo Lawyer Puts Up Successful Plea Apparently lawyers are born and not Sande, if a delightful yarn published in the Manchester Guardian correctly illustrates the development of the legal mentality from a start in the cradle, writes the London correspondent cf the Christian Science Monitor. There had been a certain liveliness ia the nursery just before bedtime, with the result that some of the furniture was broken. There was a fog of highly conflicting evidence in the nursery, and father decided that, failing a full and accurate account of what had happened, an anticipated holiday at Scarborough should be canceled. After some moments of deep thought his young son, who will probably some day be lord chancellor, suiEmed up the position in a sentence: “I have said I didn't do it, but if I can’t go to Scarborough unless I say I did do it, I think I had better say< I did it; but, if I did do it, I don’t know I did it.” Father is reported to have re tired from the discussion at this stage, without risking further discomfiture by cross-examination. Error Led to Travel How an Englishman made a mis take,' then saw America on a dead man’s ticket, has recently been told In London. According to his story he Joined a party of Scandinavian emigrants crossing the landing stage at Liverpool In the belief that he was on the way to the Isle of Man, and went up the gangway of an Atlantic liner. A few hours later he began to suspect he was going astray, and men tioned the matter to a member *f the party of emigrants who could, he had discovered, speak English. "Next stop Queenstown,” the man said, “and aft er that New York. But never mind. When we were crossing the Nortlfsea one of our party died, so }ve have a spare ticket, to which you are wel come. Come with us to America." After some reflection the vacationist Accepted, and saw America, Infant Confederate Probably the youngest soldier on sither side In the Civil wn!r was Jeorge H. Jacobs, a native of North Carolina. When he was nine years old he enlisted as a drummer boy in the Confederate army with his father in the company of Camden Grays. He was made a full-fledged, soldier when he was twelve and he served throughout the war, both he and his father being with General Lee at the surrender, at Appomattox. Jacobs was born August 20, 1S54, at Nag’s Head, where his father kept a hotel before the war. He died November 25, 1908. Most of his war days were spent in Virginia. He had a pony an9 marched with the regular army, At one battle he had to lie in a ditch during the heaviest part of the firing. story of the invention of the steam shovel by Charles B. King—the story of how he one day as a boy refused to “go flshin’” with the other boys because he was lying flat on his stom ach thinking out an idea about an old mill wheel that wouldn’t run and how he might and did make it work—these are far more Interesting and vitalising things to the schoolboy of twelve or fourteen of today than the old lists of dates and names, and the mere mem orising or locating of them without any connecting link to make them in teresting.—Exchange. The Thinker Beware when the great God lets loose a thinker on this planet Then all things are at risk. It Is as when a conflagration has broken opt In a great city, and no man knows what is safe or where it will end. There is not a piece of science but its flank may be turned tomorrow; there is not any literary reputation, not the so-called eternal names of fame, that may not be revised and condemned, the very hopes of man, the thoughts .of his heart, the religion^of nations, the manner and morals of mankind, are all at the mercy of a new gener alisation.—Balph Waldo Emerson. Social Study Important Social study has become one of the most important subjects in the mod ern school curriculum of today. The Tragic Death Of Dr. T. Carl Walker (Continued from page 1) His attention, consideration and care of his parents have been beauti ful and there was at all times joy on his part, that he was able to be with them in their declining years. He was as tender as a woman, patient and kind to those with whom he came in contact. Dr. Walker was of a highly literary type, a real scholar and writer. Only those who knew him well were able to estimate his real worth as a friend and neighbor. He was fifty-six years of age. Dr. Walker was the last of five brothers. His father, now 84 years of age, has lived to see all of his sons die. In addition to his aged father, Dr. Walker is survived by two sisters, Mrs. D. B. McCrary and Mrs. T. H. Redding, both of Asheboro; and a number of nieces, nephews and cousins of whom he was especially fond On the day of his tragic death he was host to little Misses Mariana Redding and Dee Armfield, of Ashe boro, who were spending the day with him. The body was brought to the home of his sister, Mrs. T. H. Redding, Sunday and the funeral was conducted from the residence at 2 p. m. Monday by Rev. B. C. Reavte, pastor of the M. E. church in Asheboro and Rev. J. H. Brendall, pastor of the M. E. church in Randleman. Burial fol lowed in the family plot at Randle man. Among the relatives and friends from out of town attending the fun eral were Mr. and Mrs. Charles Broadfoot, Fayetteville; Mrs. J. W. Long and son, W. W. Long, Mrs. Sam Bostick, Misses Sallie and Jessie Bos tick, Percy A. and Tom Bostick, J. S. McAlister, Wm. H. Worth and son, Hiram, Mrs. Daisy P. Walker, Mrs. J. M. Winstead, Mr. and Mrs. Sam Swaim, Mrs. Ada King, Mrs. Robert Burns and Charles W. Bain, Greens Modesty is one of the chief charac-sey personally he has been a surprise. teristics of true greatriess. A great man can have no further commenda tion or no greater bid for popularity than to have it said that he is modest. This has been a characteristic of President Coolidge. He has avoided the spotlight and attended to the se rious duties of his office with becom ing humility. His recent word that he did not wish to run for President again should be taken at its face val ue. It is the solemn dictum of a man who, having achieved the acme of his popularity, desires to step aside. Another man who is'"' winning all kinds of plaudits and reaping all sorts of popularity from his beoming modesty is thp Prince of Wales. Of course he deserves no credit for being bom the son of a king, but he does deserve credit for not slopping over. He has managed to say the right thing at the right time and to conduct himself with becoming decorum in whatever limelight he may be placed. While he is not to be credited with the distinction of being bom to royal ty, he is entitled to the distinction of caring for the duties of this superior place as he should. He is well liked not only throughout the British Do minions, but in the United States and elsewhere throughout the world. To those who have met Jack Demp Come Oru Ben Hur, You Gotta Lead Now! By Albert T Retd 1J boro; Percy Bostick, Burkville, Va.; Mrs. James H. Pou, Raleigh; Mrs. Sam Walker and son, Master Samuel, Mt. Gilead; Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Mil They expected the Manasa mawer to j look like a bruiser. They ■were sur-! prised to find him gentle, well liked i by everybody and courteous. His form is slim and his manner is that of a gentleman. He is affectionate in his family relations and altogether those who know him are not envious of his fame. The fburth modest man that has recently loomed in the hoHzon has been Lindbergh. After achieving a feat that brought him the plaudits of kings and nations everywhere he ap parently was not possessed of the idea that he was a super-man, but modestly restrained his claims to those of a flying man. He had cross-1 ed the ocean alone in a flying plane, but did not suppose that because he had done a stunt with his machine In the air he could do every other kind ; of thing. It is with a feeling of pride that the people of the country read of the way he demeaned himself in France and in Great Britain and in connection with the officials of this country. As far as we know, he has made no enemies, for the one thing that makes an enemy is over weaning egotism. America is justly proud of these four men and principally because they are not proud of themselves especially.
