County Epworth Leagues Meet Sostic, R-2, Mar. 20.—The Union meeting of the Epworth Leagues met at Salem Methodist church Friday night, March 14. Leaguers from all over the county looked with admir ing eyes upon the marvelous new buiiding which the leaguers of Sa lerr. have to enjoy. The auditorium wa- almost crowded with delegates from all over the county. A splendid program on "Friend ship" was rendered by the local lea gue after which the attendance of the different units was maikable to note by the many repre sentatives that so much interest is being given this worthy organization. The Salem unit won the attendance banner by a great majority. A committee w r as appointed by the president to compare the points of "efficiency". Here the Spindale unic lec the list with 86 points being fol lowed very closely by a sister lea gue.

CORN CRACKER AND THE APPROACHING ELECTION Shelby, R-5, Mar. 24. —As this is a political year, the press will teem with all kinds of false and mislead- ing statements. As ignorance is a twin brother of credulity, the be nighted have prepared the most ab surd charges, hoofs, horns and all. These extravagant claims are not confined to any party but permeate all. It would be fortunate for any state or country for a very narrow margin to exist between the parties. After agitation by patriotic citizens for fifteen years, a compro mise Australian ballot system has been placed upon the statute book of North Carolina, which in present form is a makeshift and a subter fuge, but is earnest of better elec tion laws and customs. This will be realized when the bones of the writ er have long mouldered in the dust, but the spirit of untrammeled suf frage, like the peripatetic soul of John Brown, is marching on. The writer can extract consolation from the fact that he was one of the first champions of the beneficent cause. While I am of the South and cher ish an abiding faith and devotion for this region and its institution, the sentiment of the arrogant slave holder has always been in favor of restricted suffrage based on a proper ty qualification. This, notwithstand ing the fact that some landless citi zens are often the most intelligent. The idea that no man is competent to help elect a senator if not a free holder, is at once, unjust and pre posterous. Seventy-five years ago nobody was fit to hold office if he didn't own land and niggers; and our brainiest young men often left us. Witness Joe Cannon, Abraham Lincoln, and others. I remember two scions of that truly delectable type of citizens.. Both were illiterate, and both lived in destitution. But both looked with lordly disdain upon "damrenters." Yet these imaginary aristocrats saw the class upon which they looked with holy scorn, by in telligence, honor and industry rise to a respectable position in society. But the venal cusses who held such approbious opinion of "dramrenters" pursued Lincoln with such furious malignity that they tried to place the bar sinister upon his escutcheon; but got nobody to believe them but the ignorant and the vicious. I don't [see the pictures of these defamers upon postage stamps nor currency bills; but it is no trouble to find the homely visage of Father Abraham on these honorable places. The writer has been a democratic voter for fifty years, which is an hon orable tenure of political loyalty. Ho holds no office, for he is too inde pendent to cringe in abject vassa lage, nor does he belong to the rul ing family. Who so is not affiliated with that regnant family by either | blood or marriage, is in danger of hellfire if he shows a spirit of in dependence, for the same is deemed presumption. They even have their fossilized vassals to rebuke me with a threat of judgment to come for disloyalty to "the party," and they are the party. Tradition and plat forms have nothing to do with it. i They do this knowing and I must ! yield obedience. This royal family also dominates the local pi'ess. When a local vassal comes to Shelby, due notice is taken thereof. He is referr ed to as a substantial farmer and a rock-ribbed Democrats A man who proclaims himself good as anybody and better than some people, is spurned as big-headed meddler, who needs mauling, and it might be done but he is such a fearless, muscular cuss. While the fact by oft repetition has become ancient history, I never voted for either Smith or Hoover, but if I had it is my own business. These ignoramuses fluant the stu pendous witticism about "Hoover Prosperity." Any man with enough brains to fill ,a hollow tooth, knows Hoover is no, more responsible for hard times thin Grover Cleveland was in the\9o's. The President of the United States has veto poweT; otherwise no showing except his rec ommendations. If Hoover is respon sible for hard times, so was Cleve land. These periods of prosperity and depression come and go, regard less of political parties and adminis trations. The apostles of the gold standard said it was overproduction caused cheap cotton. The time has never been when every lock of cot ton could have been utilized to cloth people, had they been able to buy the finished product. The American congress is largely responsible, —by iniquitous log rolling to hold their places. —CORN CRACKER. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, MARCH 27, 1930.
