The New Deal People are not buying .so many books, these days; but ^oj;! books art' selling more than they did. There was a period of several years in which any books would] sell if it were onl> nasty enough, and a great number of prurieut-iiiipdMi .would-be authors, who never had'i$&t<ttfed even the rud iments of writing, - broke inlto print with volumes which irresponsible pub .ishers put out and which seemed to find a ready ?Shket. That sortTOTR^iterature'' is lad ?j; , ing from the seehe. In its place are ierious discussions of important and . . ital ques'iions, which peopJe who are eager to know- what all the economic ' .ruobles ai-e about are rushing to buy > To my desk eotne many luniks. In the pa.-'t ten da>s? I have received no: less than six books discussing the New Deal froiiv <li ffcre.it angles, all of them worth, reading, although 1 don't agree, with of the authors. HOOVER ... his ideas Liberals, whether they fall thcm civis Democrats or Republicans, to read Herbert Hoover's l>ook, "The Challenge to Liberty." Mr. Hoover is not a literary stylist. He writes plainly, directly and often bluntly. It is hardliv necessary to sav thai * ? * he doesn't approve of the New Deal. Many of its objectives, he agrees as all sensible liberal-minded men agree, are not only woitthy but necessary. What Mr. Hoover fears is that, in trying to arrive ait economic security by a short-cut, the An^erican people may be sacrificing liberties which I they can never regain. Wihat Mr. Hoover has to say about the tendency of bureaucracy to |>er petuate itself and expand its fune t ions arises from his own experience and observation. And what he says about the control of business by Gov crnment and what its consequences may be provides food for deep thought. WALLACE ... an honest view I have long maintained that the most perfectly-functioning brain in the Roosevelt Administration is thai of Henry Wallace, Secretary of Ag riculture. Mr. Wallace is capable of seeing both sides of any subject and of thinking things through to their logical conclusions. Now Mr. Wallace has found Itime to write a book, entitled "New Front iers." It is not a compilation id' speeches and public statements, but a fresh record of events and issues as they have appeared to him a-s a member of the Roosevelt Cabinet. Mr. Wallace, naturally, approaches his subject from a different angle from tliiii from which Mr. Hoover views' the Washington scene. I gel the impression that he is not entirely satisfied; frith the way things have worked out for the fanner, and if he had t^je shaping of a new Agricul tural Adjustment Act it wonlkH be quite a different piece of wor'k. IMPARTIAL . . . on-partisan Another Wallace ? rProfessor Schuy ler C. Wallace, who holds. the chair of Public Law at Columbia Univers ity ? has written a book which give*, to the average reader a clearer-' aiid" isore understandable picture of the New, Deal than . yjiy single .^volywjc 1 have seen. Professor - -Wallace, while sympathetic, seems to have_proj. served,* a non-parfisan, impartial jioihfe^iicw. To the facts about the varitoi^phases of the efforts of the Administration he adds his own com ments and interpretations, which 1 would hesitate to indorse as a whole but which are "'plainly and fairly st&iejl. ' . i ' For the average" reader, this is [?er liaps the most generally useful book of the lot 011 my de-k. CONTROVERSIAL . . . from ranks James P. Warburg, who was one of President Roosevelt's economic advisers until they parted companj over the Aduinist ration?* monetary policy, has written "It's Up to Us, i highly cwteitaini'iff l>ook on a little understood subject? money and bank ing. Jim Warburg knows his subject. He says that the New Deal is like a calf with five legs, but that is be cause the American people wanted n five-legged calf. David Lawrence, as nrofouud ? thinker as there is in the ranks of ! journalism, in his "Beyond the New Deal,'*' tries to follow through to tht 1 ultimate consequences of the moit ' important efforts that are being mad< to achieve recovery.

Saunders, now of Enka, but late of Macon county, who, with a "buddy," was arrested by Deputy Sheriff C.1 C. Mason, a t -Maple Springs Filling Station, soincfcupq ai^o, and a pistol taken froai eju-ji of; them. Saunders entered a nolo contendere, and Judge Pless heard the .evirfflacei The young man stated that he is a butcher, over Enka way, and, that he .does his butchering with a pistol. He said that the pistol he uses at Enka was broken, nad that he got the on* the officer took from him, ait- hi#. Ma/ron county home, and was taking it to Enka to use a spring fteom it to repair the other gun. He contended that the pistol will not shoot, as the ejector is broken, preventing! the eyl-. inder from revolving, and that hence it was not a pistol as contemplated in the concealed weapons statute. Judge Pless examined the gun; found tha^ it would shoot one time after each loading, and that the pistol was a pistol. He held the youth guilty, and stated that he . was continuing prayer for judgment, in order that the jodg? would have all the facts before him, since the "buddy" of Saunders wa? not in court, and his attorney h&4 secured a continuance of his ca--e on , til next term. The Judge stated) that it didn't look good that two yousg men showed up together in a strange community in the night time, and both armed with, pistols, and that it was perhaps fortunate that the officer apprehend ed them before a serious crime event uated.

Held In Syhva This Week * Judge Pless, holding his first term of Jackson court, this week, has been rather free-handed in giving out road sentences. A Impost every case tried riming the term, and practically ev ery true bill- returned by the grand jury, had its birth in liquor. Drunk enness cases, cases for violating the prohibition laws in either selling, transporting, or having liquor fcXr sale, and for driving automobiles while intoxicated, took in almost the entire docket tried thus far, arw(i practically all the true bills that hatie been returned by the grand jury. The 1933 act, allowing a defendant to enter a plea of nolo contender^ and the trial judge to hear the evi dence and then direct a verdict of not guilty, relieved the jury of nios* of its work, ithis week. Most cases were heard by the judge under that plea. Somj; sentences that were iu?j>os?d at other terms of court and suspended upon conditions of payment of lines, payment of costs and good behavior, were called and when it was found that the conditions of the suspended sentences had not been complied with, the sentneees were ordered into effect. Cases disposed of up to this morn ing are: I). H. Clark, violating the prohib ition laws, prayer for judgment con tinued. John fiibson and Howard Gibson, dynamiting river, called and failed. J. T. Spriggs, operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated, 4 months, suspended upon payment of $100 and the costs.
