Well, well, it seems for the first time since being in harness in Ruth erford county, the editor will have something to shoot at in the coming November election. Heretofore, with no competition for the Democratic j party, there seemed no need to pay much attention to politics. Now, can you believe it (?), the Republicans have actually shown their hand and seem to think that they are to give us a little competition. Well,, all you j "old blue hen's chickens," let's gird j ourselves for the fight—if it could | be called that. We must not even let a Republican think he can win an office in this grand old Demo cratic county. As a beginner, let all Democrats forget the recent pri maries, whether your choice won or lost, and all unite against the com mon enemy. At the head of the editorial column will be found the Democratic nominees. All together, -now, boys, for a united support of .these .good Democrats. Isn't it about time the public was given some insight into the politics of the Rutherford Sun? A perusal of an editorial in that paper last week, entitled, "November Portents" wherein dire predictions are made as to the fate of certain Democrats in Rutherford county at the polls in November, leaves one very much in doubt as to the "independence" of this newspaper. Come out from behind the bush, boys, and let Us see your colors. Some few heard the call for re newal of subscriptions, made in this column recently, but there are many others who have not as yet respond ed. One little dollar is a pitiful sum to pay for fifty-two weeks of local reading matter. Come on, some of you laggards, with that renewal. Just how far would an "Indepen dent" newspaper get in its support of the Republican party? THE STATE CONVENTION. Anticipations that the State Dem ocratic Convention would be mark ied by a gathering in harmonious ac 'cord and with insistent call for a 'reuniting of the party, met with full i expectations, for harmony was the 'watchword and unity the universal jcali. Judge Varser, the keynoter, jparamounted this call as being di i rected to "all North Carolinians," ;and no references wer£" made to the | differences existing previous to the i primaries of last month. Governor i Gardner made a model address in •all respects, refraining from the us ) i.al abuse of the opposition party J and confining himself to recital of accomplishments of Democratic State administrations, backing the claims with the facts, and in that direction he delivered a talk that might be classed as one of practical service to the party. The general tenor of the speeches was along the line of a cementing of the State party for the purpose of presenting a solid front to the political enemy in the November election, Nominee Bailey coming out particularly strong along that line. It was not only one of the largest of conventions in the history of the State, but it was an assembly particularly noted for manifestation of enthusiasm on part of the dele j gates.—Charlotte Observer. I ! ADVERTISING jAND GOOD WILL. A business leader from South A merica declares that advertising is ! a great force in the promotion of peace and international good will. Advertisements inserted by Ameri can manufacturers in South Ameri can publications tend to bring the two peoples closer together in un derstanding, he declares. What he says is unquestionably ■ tiue. International ill-will is often i due to lack of knowledge and un derstanding Advertising designed to create good will between individuals and industries will help to dispell the feeling. It enables the people of on e country to see that the people of another want their business on a friendly basis, and that the citizens of the other nation are essentially the same as they are. Thus advertising receives new recognition for playing a significant part, in the business life of the world. A STATE OF ivIiND. In this great country of ours nothing has been destroyed. We have here all the natural wealth that we possessed two years ago. Our factor-i ies ar e here, our people still have un- , satisfied wants, our farms ar e well tilled, our normal interests and point of view has changed but little. ;■ I Still we have unemployment and ; a general feeling of uneasiness 1 throughout the business world. j' This is partially due to the fact that great masses of people began ' t,o retrench several months, ago., When consumers curtail buying and ? when industry restricts operations, then men are thrown out of work and a vicious cycle whirls us into a period of hard timea. The more we ; all emphasize the condition the . worse it is likely to become. A united effort on the part of; every individual in the country could j | quickly remove the cause of the > i trouble. If th e business as usual idea ; began to dominate all thinking, it j would not be long before our coun- ( : try would again be moving along on j !a plane of prosperity. Individually we should make no drastic changes in our buying habits or business methoda We should strive to avoid any extreme decisions calling for retrenchment, and soon we would find the cause for our un easiness over the future entirely re moved. ADVERTISING INVESTMENT. What determines the value of a business? Is a mere appraisal of real estate, stock, and physical equipment all that is needed to ar rive at an accurate, market valua tion? The average business man will answer: "Absolutely not—good will is worth as much or more than the physical plant." On this basis one can argue for the investment value of advertising. Money expended in printer's ink creates good will, prestige, business standing in the public eye. Money so invested, therefore, adds a sub stantial increase to the value of the business. Literally millions of dollars have been paid for mere trade names, or in other words the accumulated val ue of consistent and continuous ad vertising. StiU there are those who regard advertising as expens e rath er than investment. THE FOREST CITY COURIER, THURSDAY, JULY 10, 1930; | HUMAN NATURE. -! There is a certain inherent mean . I re ss in human nature that furnishes - us with some of our most distressing i problems, polldctivfly and-, indivld l'ually. ■ ! In every normal person the seeds 1 'of envy are fertile. Some people by ' ' conscious effort prevent .their de " j velopment, but the vast majority, living as natural products of nature, ' permit them to flourish. And it is ? this spirit of envy that makes it im- L ' possible for men to work together 1 j in harmony, that prevents various i groups and classes from \ pfooling J their resources, energy, and exper- i iences for the betterment of every - | individual. "The trouble with this 3 1 town is that everyone is afraid that 1 | the other fellow will make a little 3 'too much money," may be heard in 2 | thousands of communities. Herein 1 lies much of our difficulty in Forest 1 City and in every other community r for that matter. Most of our com- inunity problems could be solved if i the feeling of envy that dominates ,r , so much thinking were eliminated ' One must make a conscious effort to this attitude, j In every normal human being there is also a natural feeling of suspicion 1 j and distrust for others. That of "'course dates back into the early days 'of the race. When men lived by | hunting, stealing, fighting, and vio lence in every form, suspicion was 'the only thing that made for self ■! preservation. The man who trusted ; his neighbor then did not long sur l vive. • j But those times have gone. We do " make mistakes in our confidences trusts, but the losses today that ! accrue from this source are much ', smaller than the intangible losses •we suffer by harboring a suspicious attitude. t ' 1 • As previously stated these quali ties are inherent in human nature. ' |To overcome them and pave the way for more notable community achieve. jment. requires conscious effort on ( the part of every individual whose ( attitude counts in the progress of the city. i OUR SCHOOL GRADUATES Our high school and college grad uates are now entering the world, seeking jobs that will enable them to fit into the general scheme of I things. They go forth with much | valuable training, with disciplined I minds and ambitious souls that will j eventually lead them well along the i way of success. But for the present ; many of them ar e doomed tE disap- i pointment. i Those with college degrees may,' find men wh 0 employ workers sin- j 1 gularly unimpressed with their i' sheepskin rolls. They will find every-!. where a demand for practical exper ience and a willingness on the part , of the new applicant to start at the J bottom regardless of school and col- j l*jge training*. They will find fierce competition for the good positions, and will encounter men wh 0 will re sort to all manner of devices to gain the coveted positions. They will en i 'counter struggle, in short, that de 'mands much in the way of wit, of (courage, and of preserverence. We have no doubt as to the ulti mate success of the majority of thes e 'fine, bright eyed youngster.? who i leave our schools of learning in such great numbers each year, but we ! warn them now that they will be dis- I appointed if they expect to find suc cess awaiting them with outstretch ' e*P arms. | BEGGARS AND PEDDLERS. I j With general business conditions ■such as they are throughout the j country, t{he beggar and peddler nuisance Trere in Rutherford County seenas to be more troublesome than •usual. Scarcely an hour passes that some individual with a tale of woe | does not attempt to get a small do nation to sell some worthless mer chandise that we don't want to buy, ! It is sometimes hard to be short. I People in need call forth sympathy, tut. it is the writer's impression that many kindly souls are being impos ed upon by men and women who ,find a tale of woe more profitable than hard work. | There seems to be little reason for giving support to peddlers. We have everything we need available •: here at our local stores, and we . know that the man behind the coun ter is also behind the merchandise we buy. | If it is charity pe are called up on to offer, then let us give it to j the deserving— t c those who really help. Unfortunately the people ( of this class are usually too proud . to beg. A little study will show that most of our kindly intentions lead to nothing when they prompt us to help beggars. For begging is now and al ways has been a profitable business for those who know how to arouse sympathy. SPINDALE AMUSEMENT CO.
