Everybody in North Carolina was there, from t hi' Governor 'to Bob Hope someliody doesn't start call ing that bomb-throwing at Burling ton t he Second Bait lie of Aianutnce. Some fieoplc of this generation nrc so dumb that they think a sextet is a short story 'Action by Roosevelt is Looming," savs a headline, in speaking of the textile strike. Well, as we have un derstood it, looming is one of the ?tilings that the strikers have been trying to stop. In 1928 Senator Hale carried Maine by more than 40,000 majority. Maine is usually Republican. Last week Mr. Hale barely squeezed through with a scant 1,-"" majority, and a recount is being demanded. The Governor was reelected by more 'than 2"), 000 majority, the first Dem ocrat to ever be reelected as chief executive iu the entire history of the State; and three out of four of Maine's congressmen elec ted are Dem ocrats. The Republicans made an is sue of the New Deal, and Maine gave the party of the new Deal the most complete victory it ever had in the State. MATERIAL FOR QUEEN A mail over in Haywood, coming home from a hunting trip, stopped to talk .to a young ladv as she sat milking. He playfully pointed a pis tol at her, and she is dead. Man in Swain shot and killed a Negro, under (if newspaper reports are to be lieved) circumstances which, if tin tables had been 'turned around and a Negro had been doing th<> shooting, would have provoked, and possibly justified a lynching. Man in Jackson killed another under circumstances, which, if the newspapers arc to he be.elieved, look mighty dark. Thus, the three counties in a row have fur nished material that should keep Sol icitor Queen quite busy, come court time. People who go about (minting pistols at females while 'they are doing the chores, people who kill Negroes, for no reason other than the fact that they are Negroes, lik< ? he little boy that whip|>ed a toad unmercifully, just to "lam it to he a toad,'' and jteople who kill otliei people simply because they are angry or have a grudge, or happen to be drunk, all belong to at least be locked vip away from society where they will ?o long 'v be a menace to those who are in pursuit of their Constitutional rights of lit i', liberty, mid happiness. The. trouble with these accidental killings is that the victim is- just as dead as if the killing had been done apurpose. SEEN IN WASHINGTON We saw, in Washington, or on the way going or coming: The govenioi of North Carolina shaking hands with the Governor of Tennessee, just be fore the latest battle in the Second] War Between the State's ? Senator Hugh McKellar, who has his hands full trying to be reelected over Ben Hooper, who has the backing of all the Republicans and part of the Dem ocrats ? Dennis Brummitt and Baxter Durham ? Clarence K ouster and Fred Weede, who are Chambers of Com merce in Charlotte and Asheville ? Lee Weathers and Jonathan Dan iels ? Senator Reynolds and National Committeewoman, Miss Beatrice Cobb ? Serectarv of 'the Interior liar old F lekes, who looks like Will Rog ers, an'1 who also has considerable wit and humor ? Democratic and Re publican leaders linking arms in the mutual fight for North Carolina Charlie Johnson, whose presence was proof that he .can get his inind on something except paying North Caro lina's debts and meeting her pay roll ? Farmer Bob .Dough t oh, who made a most common-sense and con vincing speech, and who m^v be the next Governor ? Blucher Rhringhaus with his perpetual and ' winning vmile ? Senator Bailey, who, with his UMtal dignity, made the most impres sive argument in rebuttal, that 1 ever listened to ? Zeb Weaver congratulat ing the North Carolina speakers ? Mr. * Radcliffe, whose ivport. nearly put tlje Parkway over into Tennessee and ar oused the whole of North Carolina to united action ? Lawyers, farmers, doc tors, publishers, post-masters, county and city officials, merchants, and in fact representatives from almost ev ery trade and every county in thi3 part of the State ? Reuben Robertson, who is head of Champion Fibre and was host to the Haywood delegation. JACKSON Published ;i ACKSON COUNTY Er tared as second dasa matter at ?.'-e Post Office at Sylva, N. C. CHARGE IT TO PETE The vote on North 'Carolina's pro posed new constitution has been drop ped and all the work and worry, to say nothing of the money s^-nt, had been lost, uC Last temp naiily, -:nd the progress of the ^t-ite has been held hack, it the m-w constitution would have been progress, all he cause Pete Murphy, in order to. as he though., hasten repeal .n North Carolina, insisted, as leader of tin wets in the last General Mr ? u|M)n insert in- in the bill ri.llt.jg I or n referendum on prohibition. ;i p>? vision "deiiominat ing 'ihe elect ion .n-.d hist fall, a "general election . legislation providing for a V6k ? the1 new const tut ion specified tic the -people vote on it at the mv. < <?eneral ..lection".

All of which proves, it it prover anvthing, that the charge we repeat edl'y have made that the wet leaders are more interested in their wetness t)i -Mi yi the well are of their, party or state, is tli ? absolute truth. Pete Murphy's iniud weuhl have caught the mistake that was being n adc and the consequences of; siteli legi-bit iosi. if his eye had not hefti centered on repeal, to the eclipse of everything else. IT TAKES INTESTINAL GRIT Ves, it really does veqii re( a considerable iwno.uit of intestinal for titude for a man to make ?? ''-I ?

Later, at.er 'lie tu innlt and the shouting bad died, and the majority ol 1 is.i.t tt Ht. or so.i el liinii lik.- that, had (t eoiip'ed i" N'?' = h Carolina against repeal, Carl just I couldn't figure out why North Cm j lina had voted that way, and made some remarks along thai line that struck us as being rather .nasty and ; somewhat uncalled lor. But now, in last week's i.-su- ot The State, Carl has a page -dilor'al headed "We Voted liight on tycp ail, and it's better to admit it than to hold stubbornly to a uiisiakcit v? w lie goes on to recite the tact I hat lie and his magazine strongly advo cated repeal, and did it hoise-1 1 y.

We cannot jhelp but shudder when we think what would have happened (luring the program of the textile strike if 'the men had been able to buy liquor at any street cor ner in North Carolina. We believe that our State, at the presi t time, is in better condition than any other -tatc in the Cnio|i, so far as regula tion of {iquor traffic is concerned. Tt is a condition that should meet the approval of both l)rys and Wets." Come on into the chuurch, Hrother (loerch, we think that yon are ready to receive the right hand of fellow ship.

We believed that North Carolina couldn't be wroiiig by 183,0(10 majority. We remembered that North Carolina is not easily stampeded, that, our folks have always had a habit of doing their own thinking and acting ac cordingly, regardless of what other people in other states may think or do. It is gratifying to find The State, after observing "the result of repeal in other states, coming out openly and frankly admitting its previous error of opinion and exclaiming that i \on'h Carolina is a 'thousand times u?M?'i;,"f?T llian if the Turlington -Vcit were Tcp aled . ?( i Thtr? arc tab many tlrunks in Sylva.

BANK CREDIT NOT IN GREAT DEMAND BY BUSINESS MEN (Continued from Pajje I) less than $200,000,000 a month. Tin certainty that the demands for relict this comiii<; Winter will lie heavier than ever points to a very gieat in erease in sueh pi'iidings from now until Spring. The latest scheme of "making work'' which i~ seriously discussed hen' is the project for a gr.vat "cir cular highway, '' concrete, forty feet wide, wli ch would run from coast t? coast and hack, taking in all the !>feat national parks, touch Washing ton, New York, New Falkland and some thirty states in all. The esti mated cosr of this highway is $700. 000,000,, though it prohahly would run well over a billion before it was i < finished. J The interesting: point about this J scheme, however, is the plan to put ' \ it 'iito the class of "self-liquidating public works, by making it a 'toll road, over which motorists would have to pay, say, 40 cents for each 100 miles of travel. This, it is estimated, would pay back the cost and i uteres* in less than .'10 years if only a million and a half motorists made the round trip each year. Toll roads are one of the oldest and most certain means of getting the money hack on public im provements. Many of the nation's ?Treat bridges are toll bridges, as are the vehicular tunnels under the Hud son River at New York. This project would employ a quarter of a. million men for several years at $5 a day, , and it is looked upon f:i\ oraMy in niauv quarter*. i; > | *:i ri ?? iii??? il is that it would not, in tlx lo.iu run, In* an added hmde:. on taxpa-. i r.>.
