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. ?

JUDGE W. C. BENET PASSES1
.Fudge W. C. 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.
