SAMP . . . good eating /'
When I was a boy down East one
of Ihe familiar figures on the streets
of .our town was the "bulled com
man." die peddled from a huge can
what the Indians taught our Pilgrim
ancestors to make and to call "samp'1
It was Indian corn parho:led iu lye.
I so Hint (he outer skin came off and
(hi! kuncl was white and fluffy and
j very good eating, especially, I used
, to think, when served with Porto
i Rico molasses.
| In the Middle States the Indian
I name for this processed corn wa
"hominy," and farther South thi
| name began to be applied to coarsely
I ground corn which had been put
through a s'milar process, and which
fh." folks of tin- Deep South now call
"grits."
When I h:ar anyone talk of the
drlieiousncss of hominy, alone or ii>
th6 familiar combination of "hog and
hominv" I am never sure whether
they are talking about our Yankee
"samp" or the southern "grits." But
I do know (hat both are mighty good
eating.
RABBITS ... and fever
Twenty years a go the small aii'ma!
life of some of the Alaska islands
Was wiped otrt^bjr ft votcanfe erup
tion. This left the Indians in had
shnp^, for they lost not only an im
portant food supply but the foxes,
whom they kill for their pelts, also
had their food curtailed!. Now the
Government is "plant' ng" colonies of
rabbits on those islands, in th" ex
pefta'v>n thnt thay/ will increas
rapidly and restore the balance of
animal life.
What I want to hear is that the
Government has found a cure or pre
vention for the "rabbit rover" which
is offen fatal to men who handle
rabbits or rabbit pelts. A Maine guide
died the oth^r dav f'-om this dtisf\ase.
which he eau??ht from a fox skinned,
after the fox had been eating a rab.
bit. It is a curious infeet:on which
seems to be spreading all over the
country.
GOLD ... to market
The price of $35 an ounce for gold
has, naturally stimulated goM mining
everywhere that a trace of the pre
< io 's metal has ever been found, and
in some places where they have only
guessed! it might be. One of my neigh
bors, a f w m:les from my farm, has
taken out a license to dig for gold
in the Berkshire hills. I hope he find"
it.
They are getting gold in paying
quantities from several abandoned
wines in North Carolina. Before the
gold strike in California there were
profitable trold mines in many parts
of the Atlantic seaboard. So mich
jroldi was mined in the Carolinas and
Georgia that for vears the Govern
ment ma:nlained a mint at Dahlonega,
Georgia.
Now there is no more gold coinage,
but anyone who finds a.n ounce of
gold anywhere can <ret $35 for it
from ITnele Sam, and some folks are
going to strike it rich somewhere.
MUSIC . . . neighborhood sings ?
T am n.ot yet convinced that the
radio is a good tlrng in all respects.
P( c -de do t,oo much listening to pro
fessional singers and musician*?, make
not enough cff->tt to produce their
own music. Not that it is not refresh
in. to listen to f rst-rate mnmo
which ?<? Strt t??
air"? but it ought not to be too oasv.
There is more social value more
that makes for love of home life and
n. icrbborlv spirit, when everybody in
the household, or a group of neighbors
get together, in a home or a chnrch
"r> r a town, hall and try what they
ean do to make a little musb for
themselves. I know of nothing that
is so heart-warming in .its effeet as
'a "neighborhood sing."

CANCELLATION OF
MAIL CONTRACTS
BRINGS CRITICISM
Washington, Feb. 21. (Special)?
For the first time since he began to
put the New Deal into .effect, Pres
ident Roosevelt faced a storm of
open and public critic'sm an a result
[of his drastic order summarily can
celling all existing air mail contracts
and turning over the air mail service
to the military avintion forces.
Telegrams and letters from all
parts of the country expressed the
view thRt the President had acted too
impulsively in wrecking a great in- 1
dustry merely because there had been I
d sclosures before a Senate committee
that a few men had mtfcTe a great deal
of money out of Government con
tracts for planes and engines.
>
Telegrams came from such import
ant and respected figures as Col
ChnSi A. Lindbergh and others of
equal fame in the world of aviation;
from thousands of investors in the
shares of aviation companies; from
communities whose a;r-mail services
were threatened, and from plain citi
zens who warned that the mail ser
vice is not one to be entrusted to
flyers who have specialized in quite
another branch of aeronautics.
This arb'trary action by the Presi
dent started a good many people, too,
to using the word "cSietator" in theii
more or less private conversation. The
word has been heard a good many
times in Washington recently. Mostly
it Hlis been used by the President's
political opponents, whenever they
deemed it safe to indulge in words
at 9II. The President's friepds have
pointed out that a dictator is one
who seizes power without the consent
of the legislature, and who maintains
that power by the use of military
force.
President Roosevelt has been punc
t: lions to ask Congress for such
powers as he is exercising, and has
never, asked until lie was assured in
advance 1 lint the powers would be
granted. And, np to now. there ha-<
been .no suggestion of disregarding
the Constitutional provision that the
?inil'tarv shall always be sul. ordinate
to the eril power of Hi;' Govern
ment. In.iid? 11 tally, it is that provi
sion in Mi ? Constitution th.:! prevents
the Pi- '.lent from naminc an Army
off' cc.* :? ; Secretary of War or a
Navy <?fficcr as Secretary of the
Navy.
There :ir." some, however, who are
beginning to point out that M-'isso
lin;. wh certainly ranks as a dicta
tor in his .own Italy, is carefnl to tr<>
thorwrh the form of consulting th*'
Italian ParPamrnt and obtaining per
missicn t.o do what he wants to do
These same critics of th* Administra
tion also point out that Mussolini did
not have the official TtaFan army
behind him in his March on Rome,
but "only his Fascist "/militia," and
they are viowinsjj -with some dfstrnst
the sugrr^stion whfeh is h'u^g talked
abont, more or leise openly in Admin
istration circles, that the young men
who ha*" been enrolled in the CCC,
the bene Pie:aries of CWA who do not
find n'h-T cmnloyment, and wimcr
out ot-lv-r groups ouerht to be regi
mented into a permanent "work re
serve eo^ps." Some of the more bitter
e.n.emies of the Now Deal profess te
see in 'this a mili*arv implication,
susnjesting the poss'bility of the or
ganization .of a fi?rhtin-sr force which
might be used, in unscrupulous hands,
mneh as Musso'ini used his Fascists.
There probahlv is .nothing ?n that
idea, but those who hoH it are frank
in savin? that the nso of Army and
Navy aviators to perform a civil
function, such as carrying the mails,
sets - a' pverd' nt. under which sol
diers, sa:1ors and marims might be
tised as letter-carriers, even as
workers in other 1'ncs of industry.

Born to Jfr. and Slbctt JUew,
The Jackson County Journal's re
markable, New Deal offer, announce*)
last week ends on Wednesday of next
week, February 28.
A large number of The Journal''
subscribers have availed themselves
of the opportunity of renewing their
subscriptions under the clean-tbc
slate plan, and a number of new sub
scribcrs have been added to the list
The only objection that any sub
seriber has ra:sedi to the plan is thai
it is too fair. Others have come in to
ask if the Announcement they read in
last wcek'R Journal is really true,
and that they can clean the slate ot
all back subscription dues and receive
The Journal for another year upon
payment of only $1.50.
The plan offered is that upon pai
ment of $1.50, all amounts due us for
' subscription will be cancelled, and the
subscriber's erpiration date will be
set up to February, 1935, on all sub
scriptions that expired prior to Octo
bcr 15, 1933. On all subscriptions
expiring October 15 of last year or at
any later date, the date of expiration
will be moved up one year for $1.00.
The offer expires at midnight of
next Wednesday, February 28.
Beginning with March 1, Th?*
Journal is going strictly on the cash
in advance basis. Two weeks prior to
the expiration of his subscription, the
subscriber will be mailed a card
stating the date that his subscription
expires, and if he docs not renew it
within the two weeks, his name will
be dropped from the list until he
again subscribes for The Journal.
'This latter part of the plan pre
cludes the idea of any future 6peeial
offers. If The Jpurnal is to continue
to serve the people of this county,
we must derive sufficient revenue
from it to allow us to meet our ob
ligationn with reasonable promptness.
This Wfi cannot do so long as we ar.?
carrying thousands of dollars on our '
books, due aw from subscribers. The
e?sh in advance plan has met with
the approval of every man and woman
with whom we have talked. They all
say: "That's the only way to haruMe
it. When you do that, we know that
a bill is not p:ling up against us in
The Journal Office, and we will be
only too glad to come in and renew
as our subscriptions expire."
As to the amounts that are due ns,
and which we are giving away with
each renewal subscription, we figure
that if we can realize $1000 in ca,?h
from our subscription list, during
this month, that it will permit us to
pay up our obligat:ons, and at tho
painc time allow us to go to the cash
in advance plan with as little friction
as possible, and with slight loss to
our circulation.
All cash, checks, or money orders
must be in this off'ee or in the mails
hefore midnight, February 28, if lh<
subscriber is to be given full credit
for his renewal, new subscription, or
cancellation of amounts due, uiwkr
the plan..
Any subscriber can tell just ho?c
much to send in, in order to set th ?
slate wiped clean and his subscrip
tion marked up one year in^dvance,
by looking at the name label on his
paj^r, 'which giveB the expiration
dale of his subscription, the f:gures
reading from left to right are thu
month, day and year on which his
subscription has or will -expire.
This is the last call. The offer will
exp:re before the next issue of Th?j
Journal is mailed out. Bring, send, or
mail your checks, money orders or
cash to The Jackson County Journal.
Svlva, X. C.t and you will be given
receipt in full for your subscription
one year in advance, as outlined
above, and as explained in the dis
play advertisement in this and lrntt
week's Journals.
Act todiay, lest yon forget. This is
a new deal lhat is practical, and that
will be of great benefit to both our
subscribers and the management oi
The Journal.
