Irtattfetey ll( at Fontana, following ft-few s 1 'nf?s of pneumonia. WEEK By WEEK Mahatauia Gandhi is reported as J offering to stop his opposition to British government if India is given the status of a dominion. Maybe the! attacks of the tribesmeu in the North! may have reminded Gandhi that it j may be a handy thing, after all, to' have the British Empire and the British army as a protection. A hold np in Madison. A lynching* iu Wilson. The attempted assissiua-j tiin of a highway patrolman in Hay wood. All in one day's work in XOrth. Carolina. And this State is perhaps j (he best governed and the most law abiding of any of the 48. A negro couple iu Chicago ar? seeking to legally adopt a white baby.' The negro woman says in the peti tion that she was with the child's mother when it was born, and that the mother said she didn't want the infant. The negro woman then took the child home and has cared for it.j All of which is a sad commentary upon a part of the white race. The Yarc machine is attacking the vote of Luzerne County, with the hoi?e of taking the Pennsylvania gubernatorial nomination on the He publican ticket away from Gifford Pinchot and giving it to their Can didate. They may win 011 a technieal itv. Anyway, there's no use to worry about it. The Penrose, and later Vare followers have gotten away with bigger things than a gubernatorial j nomination. After nine years, North Carolina has had a lynching. There is no doubt that lynch law is a had thins;, and strikes at the foundations of govern ment. A lynching is a blot on the State; but not so much so as tolera tion of crimes such as that of which the Hdgecombe eounty negro was ac cused. And as for me, I can't see how any man, black or white, could at tark little girls, and expect nnything other than that the indignant eitia zery would hang him to the first available tree. North Carolina has another strike in thextextile mills. This time Besse-1 mer City is the victim. The strikers, there are not members of the Ameri can Federation. They belong to no union. Thev will have nothing to do with outside organixers, either native or of the communist variety. They assert that the walk out came follow ing the proposal for the third wage reduction since Christinas. The strik ers state that the new scale of pay would give the workers from $4.00 to $1.000 a week and that they can't live on it and pay their grocery bills. The management of the mills says that wages would be from $10.80 tc $18.00 a week and that the owners are content to have the mills closed, as they haven't been making any money anyway and have been running only in order that the employees may live. So here's a pretty kettle of fish. The workers can't live on their wages and the owners had rather have the mills dosed than open, be cause they can't make any money out of the manufacture of lOe cotton into cloth. And we have the highest tariff in history. Figure it out for v oursel f. ? WHITTIER Rev. Ben West, former pastor of the Whittier Baptist church, is with us again for a few days. While here he will aid the present pastor, Rev. Algia West, in a revival meeting.

Benet, 8<i year old re tired lawyer, died Monday morning I in a sanitarium in Black Mountain.! The'body was taken to Columbia, S. C. for funeral and interment. | Jodge Benet was well known to the I people of the southern end of .Tack son county, having spent much time' in and around Cashier's Yalley, and having spent the latter years of his lite at the home of W.S.Alexander, at (iriinshaws in the region which he J so greatly loved. Friends of the aged jurist noted that he was failing rapidly and a few weeks an o members of his fam ily were notified that his coudition was becoming alarming. Two of his sons, Dr. George Belief and Former United States Senator W. C. Beiiet, Jr., eame to (trimshaws from Colum-i bia and removed him to the sanitor ium at Black Mountain, about ten days before his death. He is survived by four sons, W. C. Benet, Jr., and Dr. George Benet, Columbia, Sam Benet of California, and Hugh Benet of Massachusetts, and one brother, who lives in Scot land. Judge Benet was a native of Scot land. At the close of the war between the states, he became a friend and companion of a number of young Southern men at the University of Edinburgh,, and with them came to South Carolina on a visit, after his graduating. He remained in South Carolina except for a few short vis its to the old country, making his home in Abbeville, and casting his lot with the South. He taught school, and was later admitted to the bar, and elevated to the bench by the peo ple of South Carolina. He was a great lover of nature, and frequently made visits to the Cashier's Valley region of this comi ty, spending many vacations there. After he retired from active practice of his profession he spent his entire time iu this county "among the moun tains and streams that he loved. HIGHWAY PATROLMAN AMBUSHED IN HAYWOOD Grover Glover, State highway pa , trolman, was shot from ambush and I dangerously wounded, near the over I head bridge, east of Canton, Mon day afternoon. Gordon Branson, of i Canton, was- arrested charged with the attempted assassination and of ficers expeet to make other arrests. The shooting occurred shortly af I ter* the patrolman had given chase to a touring car, whieh was being i driven at a hierh rate of speed, along ! the highwa.,, utuT it is the theory of officers that one of the four men who were occupants of the car, did tire shooting and that perhaps others j were implicated. 40 YEARS AGO j Tuckaseige Democrat, Aug. 20, 1890 Mr. J.
