Devoted to the upbuilding of the farms and homes of Mecklenburg and contiguous counties, of which Charlotte is the natural center.

NOT YET OUR FULL PART After two years of visible con flict the second World War has brought active hostilities to near ly thirty nations, says the Chris tian Science Monitor. Gradual ly the invisible conflict which had been in progress for several years before September 3, 1939, has become clearer in its outlines and meaning. One by one na tions have found themselves for ced to take sides. One by one they have found themselves forced to isubmit or resist the “forces of insane violence” let loose by Hitlerism. One by one they have proved there can be no retreat, no compromise in face of those forces. That is the background for President Roosevelt’s Labor Day declaration that Americans *‘must do our full part in con quering them.” The President’s speech was chiefly a plea to his fellow countrymen to keep alert and do their part effectively. In one statement—“we shall do ev erything in our power to crush Hitler and his Nazi forces”—he appeared to go beyond this plea to a promise. And in saying that America must not only make the “weapons of freedom” in increas ing quantity but “more greatly safeguard” their delivery to the front lines, Mr. Roosevelt gave fresh hope to the British, the Chinese and the Russians. Supporting the President the rangement between the nations who seek no aggression and can become powerful enough to dis pose of all the nations that do seek aggression. This arrange ment will be founded upon peace, good will, and mutual economic effort within the circle, and an offer to all other nations.to come into that circle as soon as they wish to abide by its principles. They will come fast enough when they find that peace, security and justic£ are to be thereby ob tained. The Churchill-Roosevelt sug gestion points the way to a new world. Such a new world must be brought into being around these eight points under the leadership of the United States and the British Empire or the world is to live under the new or der proposed by Hitler and his alliance of thugs. One or the • other of these forces will govern the world. We can meet the Hit ler challence and defeat it or we can shirk the responsibility and take the consequences. Every thing short of this is quibbling and childish argument. Those who sneer at what they call idealism and fancy thernselves practical men have not enough imagination and vision to discern the truth. They themselves are the impractical people for they propose to live in a new world un der the conception of a world that has passed away. National iso lation is as dead as Ramases H. The power of one nation, howev er strong, to live in a world of aggression without fighting for its own rights is deader still. We talk of not wanting war. It is not a choice with us. Hitler must be destroyed or he will de stroy not only the world of our neighbors but our own. It is time to stop talking about aiding England and Russia and China. It is time to talk, as the Presi dent talks, about destroying Hit ler, root and branch. And the way to destroy him is to put our weight in the battle against him. AS ONE EDITOR SEES IT By R. F.

They under stood the President’s reminder to Labor that a totalitarian world has no room for trade unionism. There is increasing evidence that despite an amazing amount of irresponsibility and the repeated crippling of defense production by strikes, American Labor is coming nearer to the position of British Labor, which even before the war was awake to the perils of appeasement. British workers have not re jected Nazi peace offensives be cause they wanted to fight. They foresaw that they would have to bear the brunt of the working and the fighting. They have seen that it is their homes and their children that'stand on the front line in a bombing war. But they have chosen time after time to takfe all that the Nazis can send rather than accept any false peace. They have seen that no class and no nation can afford to sleep in face of the common dan ger, that all must do their part. Can Americans do less? So far their part is only to work. But how much more fully they could do that! Time To Forget Trifles and Grapple With a Serious World STARTS ON PAGE ONE These compose the dead weight mass which Mr, Roosevelt has to carry in his fearful task of organ- ing American povvGr and duty alongside the nations which are •fighting against the deluge that will certainly come if we fail to avert it.

E. P. Gulledge of Raleigh, sales manager, declared the sale was the most successful one the club has.held and Lawrence Gardner, field repre sentative of the American Jersey Cattle club, with headquarters in New York, who assisted in the sell ing, was also enthusiastic. About 50 fine blooded cows from various Jersey breeders in North Carolina were sold, including cows from the farm of North Carolina State college. Dr. Howard W. Odum of Chapel Hill, the Biltmore Dairy farms, the Granada farms, Torrence and Pearson, Arrowood farms and other well known breeders of fine Jersey cattle. COUNTY COMMISSIONERS County commissioners are still on the subject of collection of back taxes. It was decided to farm out the collection of non-property taxes un der the county and city tax collector, collections to be paid for by a com mission on the collections. It was brought to attention Tuesday that the law provides that dog taxes and poll taxes must always go to the school funds. County Attorney DeLaney ruled that no commissions could be paid on these taxes and all collec tions made must go without demuni tion to the school fund. Collectors are scheduled to begin trying their hands on collection of the old taxes about the 15th of this month. The survey of the National Re serve Planning board was approved after presentation of the plan by James W. Hewett, assistant area planning engineer. The object of the survey is to plan all sorts of public work projects which can be used to take up any employment slack which may develop in the next several years. The commissioners named a com mittee to establish a work schedule for the county tax collector depart ment. The board also decided that in view of the fact that the State High way department is buying the Berry- hill and Huntersville prison camps the Highway department may con tinue to use the garage on Wilkinson boulevard. ing that so such monster will hezekiah ALEXANDER HOUSE never again have the power to The old stone house which Heze- slay the inrtocents of the world; | ^i^h Alexander completed in the year To defeat Hitler and then to Mecklen- provide safety and peace in the world we shall have to take the leadership of the English speak ing peoples and those who cher ish similar ideas of peace and de cency. Months ago this paper outlined what it thought would be the practical way of doing this. It was no new idea. It is embodied in the eight principles agreed upon by Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Churchill, which are only a codification of the ideas expressed by Lord Halifax many months ago. It is a working ar- burg declaration of independence, is still standing and with its 163 acres may become a state park. Mr. E. M. Cole owns the property and proposes to donote it under certain conditions regarding upkeep. Mr. J. B. Volger, representative in the legislature, has the maiter up with the state authori ties. Mr. Volger said a WPA project to clear up ’ the grounds and demolish 'unsightly old buildings could very easily be obtained. He thought that the descendants of Hezekiah Alexan der and Waightstill Avery, along with D. A. R. members, civic organi zations, patriotic societies and private citizens schould quickly be sble to obtain enough funds to get the es sential work started, he declared. The NEW REIGN OF TEEROR is beginning in France and before it is over the old French Revolution which has been the supreme example of terror for the past one hundred and fifty years, may pass from mem ory as insignificant. The so-called French government set up at Vichy after the armistice with Germany has become only a tool of the Germans, and the French people are resenting it every way they can. While the for mer Premier Laval, noAv a German supporter, was attending a meeting urging Frenchmen to enlist in the Foreign Legion for service against the Russians, a young Frenchman shot him and one of his assistants. Both o were severly wounded but are still living. Of course the man who shot them will be exey^ted if he has not already been. And the German of ficer in command at Paris has said that he will shoot ten, fifty, a hun dred, or as many Frenchmen as he deems necessary, for every act of violence committed against the Ger mans or their friends. It is sure that violence will be committed, and hence the blood of Frenchmen now called Jews and Communists by the Ger- fiians, will flow in streams. This is the German policy towards all the conquered peoples, and as the secret Victory campaign goes on there will be more and more retaliation. The brutal Germans are now having their day, but when it is over they will get what is coming to them and it will be a plenty. JAPAN HAS REACHED the point of pUt up or shut. A year ago when Hitler seenaed sure to win, when France was doAvn, when Russia was supposed to be allied with Germany, when Mussolini was roaring about the idefeat of England, and thte United States was playing mummy towards Japan, the Japs thought it a good time to follow the example of Italy and join up with Germany. The con spiracy was plainly and openly against the United States. It was to so threaten us in the Pacific that we would have to keep our whole navy there and let England go down in the Atlantic. But it didn’t work out. Hitler betrayed and assaulted Russia and is now bogged down on a two thousand mile front, England is stronger than ever. Mussolini has shut up. Churchill and Roosevelt haye met and warned Japan to stop or take the consequences. Oil tankers are on the way froth American ports for the Russian port of Vladiyostock in Siberia north of Japan, and this port is to be the gateway for aid to Russia from • the United States. First the Japanese announced that they would not allow this, but the ships are on the way and Japan will do nothing about it. Meanwhile Rus sia and England have taken charge of Persia and Germans there on Fifth Column business are scurrying out. This opens up a new front against Germany where the land forces of Russia and the British can join to protect the east. It ,will also be a route for British and American aid to Russia. While the Germans are pressing hard on the Russians from Leningrad to the Black Sea. winter is coming on and the Russians are not defeated. Japan has bet on the wrong horse and now knows it. She is whining about England and the Unit ed States, but she is stopping, look ing and listening. The United States is preparing to send commissions to talk over affairs not only with Rus sia but with the Chinese to find out what aid is most necessary and how it can be sent. Japan, with a four years war in China has not been able to conquer that country yet and will be further and further from it as time goes on, S'o sorry, bet on wrong horse. * nCIENCE SERVICE tells us that “specialists in sociology, ethnolo gy and political science are joining with psychiatrists and psycho-analists to discuss in seminars and lectures why we behave as we do and why at this stage of civilization we resort to such organized cruelty and violence as the present war.” Now you are going to get something. The set up would be complete if the horse doctors and the corn doctors were called in. In fact, we would set more store by what the horse doctors and the corn doctors would say. An expert is a fellow who can talk, all day without telling you anything. Sometimes the radio peo ple put some of them on to discuss subjects. The result is ^string of hems and haws and ums and ers. Ex perts are becoming as thick as fleas. The ones most skillful in concealing how little they know are the most ex pert of all. The daylights are talked out of people so much that they have lost the power to discriminate be tween trifles and important matters, and all the experts give them is a choice between tweedledee and twee dledum, ^ * Four years ago Japan started war in China and two years ago Hitler started his war on all the world that he could get in reach of. Neither is going so strong as before but the wings of neither have yet been clip ped. Twenty-two years ago certain politicians in this country started their war for politics and isolation. Hitler and the Japanese military barons pro pose to abolish democracy and substi tute ancient absolutism with the springs of power in their own hands. The Americans sought first to defeat Woodrow Wilson and did wipe out what he stood for. Their purpose was to sacrifice the world position of the United States for the benefiit of party advantage. They gave us Harding and the reign of rascals, and Coolidge and the foundation for the domestic and world depression, and Mr. Hoover and prosperity around the corner which was never turned. Now the succes- sors of these politicians whose highest ambition was to crush Wilson are bus- ilty trying to scuttle this country’s world position again in the expecta tion that that it will get Franklin D. Roosevelt. !) * * Allied with the politicians who are actuated by venom for Roose velt, like Wheeler for instance, are the admirers of Hitler and the hater of England, like Lindbergh. Following these men who have a clear purpose is a string of nondescripts who, like the Bourbons, never learn anything and never forget anything. They see no danger in Hitler because he has not yet dropped a bomb on their homes. They are the folks who always lock the door after the horse is gone. Because there have been bad wars and because people get hurt in wars, they would abolish wars by submitting to the in ternational brigands. In other days they would have counselled paying tribute to highway robbers because to oppose them would cause trouble and may|je danger. Americans on the whole have never been that kind. We have established do'mestic tranquility by putting down the disturbers of the pegce and the highwaymen and the murderers. Modern conditions have made it so that the world can no lon ger live in peace and safety without putting down the international high waymen and murderers, and that is what Americans must help in doing. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By REV. H. C. PENINGER ' (Sept. 7, 1941—Rev. 2:1-11) is standing here among the church es. The church as it exists on eartli is a most miserable human organiza tion with which men so minded can onlv touch what 1 consider the high 1so™e weakness oi’ fault. Still it IS Christ’s church. And I am For a long time I have wanted some lessons in the Book of Revela tion. We now have four lessons in that so-called mysterious book. I can peaks of the lesson. These scriptures were written by the Apostle .John while he was an outcast on the Isle of Patmos. Before I go further into the lesson I will say that this was a .vision given to John by Christ of the church both on earth and in heaven. From its earliest existence to its final consumation on earth. The teachings of the entire book mean the certain triumph of the kingdom of God on earth in spite of all human and world ly opposition. John wrote at a time when Christians were exposed to the fierce hatred and opposition of proud Rome. He wrote at a time when to take a stand for Christ meant the most terrible persecution and to es cape death was only a miracle. As I think about this vision it seems to me that it must have been good news to a church hard pressed by persecution. Think about it. This revelation of the sure triumph in the end of the cause of Christ. Were we living back that day don’t you think it would inspire us to a new heart courage and loyalty ? As I think about this wrecked and torn world with its most terrible apostacy, should not the teaching of this revelation bring new courage with a more determined am bition to serve God and be faithful to the end? We now notice the seven churches. The message of the first three chap ters is meant lor the seven churches of the Roman Pi’ovince of Asia begin ning with Ephesus, the church with which John seemed to be associated. pATTQ DEVELOPED c\r liULiLltJ 8 to 16 prints ... iw Reprints; 10 for 25c; 50 for $1.25.

DEER HUNTERS FINED Last week’s Hoke county recorder’s court was featured by the trial and conviction of five deer hunters for op erating at night, using spotlights hunting deer out of season and hunt ing without licenses, reports the News-Journal. The five were arrest ed by game wardens at 2'M a. m., August 15 while driving in a car equipped for night deer huiting in McLauchlih township. They vere two white men, their wives, and^ negro driver. They had two spotlights in the car and one was in operation when the arrest was made. Thty were equipped with a rifle and a liotgun and a rifle, and bloodstains in the car, as well as finding deer lair in the car pointed out the fact thit the crime had been committed previous ly. The five were; Cleo Mook and Mrs. Callie Moore, Roscoe Jdinson and Mrs. Margaret Johnson, ard the negro driver, Lacy Wilbur McCcy. They were charged with violting the game law and violating the lunt- ing law. All pleaded not guilty and the judgment of the court was giilty.' Sentences in the first instance Tere thirty days on the roads for the :i,en and thirty days in jail' for the vo- men, sentences to be suspended on payment of the costs. In the sec«nd instance, a new law which make; a fine of $100 or 60 days imprisonmnt mandatory for hunting deer with a spotlight made it necessary for te recorder to impose those sentences, h jail for the women or on the roas for the men or pay those fines aiJ the costs. The sentences were to rm concurrently with the thirty da^ ones. The five appealed to superio court and bond was set at |200 each All made bond and the case will prob ably be settled in the November term of court. This marks the first time that the new hunting laws have been used in this county. There is a sense in which these churches seem to be sympolical for the whole Christian movement. As the holy place in the tabernacle was lighted by the candles supported by the seven branched candle stick, so the church on earth is typified by the seven candle sticks. Under the Mosaic Law the seven candle sticks were sev en branches of one common stalk. This was symbolic of the fact that under the old covenant the people were granted the light of God’s or acles. Now the candle sticks are sep arate and distinct and the gospel is free and goes into every nook and Corner of the world. In this vision John saw Christ in the midst of his church. This view showed Christ standing in the midst of the seven candle sticks holding in his right hand seven stars. Follow me closely here. The candle sticks were the churches whose light alone was Christ. The stars were the bishops or ministers of these churches. Here John sees this despised Jesus. This Christ so lowly and yet so exalted sounding a warning note to every ■ one: better be careful how you sneak in opposition to that which belongs to God. Perhaps many of you who read these lines are not in any church at all. Some of you are constantly finding fault with your preacher, this thing, that or the other, especially when it is not done as you like. 'T>hen why don’t you get in and line up with the church and help to make it what it ought to be? In verses 2, 3 and 6, Christ sees something commendable in every church and so do I. The church at Ephesus seemed to have plenty of zeal and enthusiasm for righteous ness. Listen to Christ’s words. I know thy works. What works ? I take it to mean all the general program of the church. I think I shall add from the mid week prayer service to the ■eleven o’clock service Sunday, with all the business programs. Well, here was a church that seemed to take seriously its obligation of service. I pause here just for a moment to say that as I see Tt today we are not so very much concerned about the church anyway. Most of us attend church when it suits us. We let too many things come first. All? day elections on Saturday are bad for the church. Sat urday night picture shows and bowl ing alleys are bad for the church, and more especially when some godly man is trying to hold a revival meet ing. After Christ commends the good seven j qualities- of his church, then he con- clean up. In closing let me say that I think it is a most appalling thing for Christ to bring any kind of an in dictment against his bride, the church. Yet he is forced to do it. In deed, a righteous Cod could not do otherwise. 1 tell you tliat no half hearted penitence, no slight healing of the wound will satisfy the demands of a righteuos God. Remember from whence tliou art fallen. Remember, repent, do thy first wor’ks. Joseph and Mary had to go back to Jerusalem to find their boy, for that is \*iere they lost him. Where did you lose Christ? You know wliere. Go back there and you will find him. Human Interest STARTS ON PAGE ONE demns the* Nicolatian sin. I do not know much about the sin of the Nico- latians. The early church fathers said that they were the followers of Nicolas who was a Proselite of An tioch. In Acts 6:5, you will find that he was selected as one of the deacons. This would indicate that he was once a good man. But he fell out of the ranks and drifted into false teaehins:. It seems that a large number of peo ple became his followers. He iaught his followers to hate and despise the rules of Christian living that had been laid down by the leader of the Jerusalem church. See Acts 15:19-20. ChWst wanted an all-together clean and spotless church. And if so, then what of today ? I have before said in these columns that the church is a place in which to house Christian peo ple. It is not a place to hide thygs and bums. I know that I will be criti cised, but you must remember that I am tea_ching the lesson and according to Christ in this lesson every church in this land will have to repent and across them several times on the sewing machine to keep the pieces together. I cover tliis piece of blanket with new pieces of gaily colored cotton clotli. One of them I covered with patchwork made from new bright pieces of cloth. After turning the edges ■ in and stitching on the machine, I tie the quilt together with yarn. The result is a very warm cover let about 33x49 inches, depend ing upon the size of the blanket used. I am sure many of us have some woi'ii thin blankets that can be used to keep some small British cousin warm.

BOTANY BUYS LAND The Citizen reports that the Bot any Worsted Mills have purchased the 79 acres of land lying on the east side of the highway between Aber deen and Southern Pines and another tract of 54 acres, comprising P0W7 ell’s lake. Frederick S. Ranzehofei% attorney for Botany Worsted mills, spent the day in Aberdeen closing the transaction and inspecting the property. While he would make no definite commitment as to when the proposed factory would be construct ed, stating he was handling only the legal end of the negotiations, he seemed of the impression that there is no question but that Botany vould establish a plant here, and made men tion of having seen plans foi the proposed buildings. This brings to a close negotiaions extending over a long period of ,ime. Colonel Chas. F. H. Johnson, Resi dent of Botany Worsted mills, and his engineers made a thorough iudy of locations throughout the soutl, in cluding many southern states and came to the conclusion that the &nd- hill section offered the best oppotun- ity for a mill of this type. The oear, spring-fed streams of sparklingwa- ter played an important part in lak- ing the final decision. ft" VjHEH KOU ® “7 i She s SO nice^foo bad her house keeping isn’t on a par with her per~ sonalityr .. . or— \ What a LOVEDY person — and what a MARVEWUS homemakerr HARACTER and appearance are matters of birth and upbringing—but the way you keep your house oft en depends upon what you have to work with!
