LOCAL OPTION AD INFINITUM o Once upon a time this, or these United States, had prohibition in theory, at least, as a unit. Then the powers that be upset the fruit basket and each state had or did not have legal liquor, according to the dictates of taste and choice. A little later politicians shook things up and down in North Carolina. A crazy quilt of wet and dry spots was the result. And we shall probably see, as the result of Judge Alley’s de cision, whether the State Supreme Court will not agree that every township has the right to its booze. So on we go till every citizen in the grand old state will exercise his personal rights, liberties, etc., by making and drinking his sweet julep and what not under his own vine and fig tree, with none to molest or make him afraid. Liberty, personal liberty, local option, the right to do as one pleases, run my own busi ness—what a lovely time we are going to have in thy name by and by, if things go on as they are now headed! oOo —• “PHYSICIAN, HEAL THYSELF* o In all the little to do about much so far in cleaning the democratic political house in North Carolina, a big noise has been made with a lit tle firecracker. This paper does not condone in any sense the effort to get votes by Browning up in Bryson City. As an individal, a plain citizen, he had such right. But as an employee of the government, he had no such right. The election board has so decided and now Brown ing is out of his job. Well and good so far. However, this paper contends that if the President of the United States can leave his of fice in Washington and ride at the nation’s ex pense across the country in behalf of men who will support his policies, then a welfare worker in Swain County has the right to advise voters in behalf of the same big office holder and his program. This sort of thing—influencing vot ers by job holders for the sake of one’s job and his boss —has been going on in Zebulon, Wake county and throughout North Carolina for years. Nothing has been done about it. Pro bably if every office holder was dealt with as GENERAL NEWS PUERTO RICAN GOVERNOR ATTACKED More than a dozen shots were fired at Governor Maj. Gen. Blan ton Winship, governor of Puerto Rico, Monday, in an attempt to take his life. Two were killed and 31 wounded in the shooting. The governor escaped unhurt. The at tempt was made by members of the nationalist party who are seeking independence of the United States. WPA MONEY MOVING The Works Progress Adminis tration has bought $1,177,070 worth of cotton textiles from mills in North Carolina for use in sewing rooms in this state. GOVERNOR POISONED Gov. A. B. Chandler of Kentucky < has been ill for several days. His 1 physician says he was poisoned by THE ZEBULON RECORD. ZEBULON, NORTH CA ROLINA, FRIDAY, JULY 29,1938 water. He did not say what kind of poison it was, nor whether it was accidental. He is running for the U. S. senate in a hotly con tested campaign. JEW AND ARAB The greatest religious fanatics in the world are perhaps the Arabs. The most hated and persecuted peo ple in all Christendom are the Jews. At Haifa, Palestine, on the Mediterranean sea, terror reigns. Monday a bomb killed 35 men and women crowded in a market place. An average of 20 a day have been killed since July 5. British soldiers have been landed at Haifa and Eng land is policing the whole of Pal estine, but in spite of anything the government can do, the carnage goes on. FLOODS BRING DAMAGE If it is not loss and death from dust, it must be floods that bring the damage. At present rivers in the New England states, the Mid- Browning, there would be few left in Turtle Town or Washington. We hope this little be ginning will result in a big ending—one that will give full and free expression of the peo ple’s choice at the ballot box. oOo MORE DANGEROUS THAN FASCISM o In a Georgia town the authorities had the usual trouble of getting Sunday laws enforced. Some of the leading business men of the town would open their places of business from time to time on Sunday to accommodate friends who were customers. It seemed they could not clamp the lid on tight enough to prevent public sentiment from quickly blowing it off. A happy (?) solution of their problem was found. A great many of the citizens went to the post office about midday on Sunday when the mail arrived. The town fathers decreed that all stores might be opened for just thirty minutes at that hour. So now everything is wide open for this period of time and no one thinks of violating the law at other hours! Three of the merchants are deacons in the local Baptist church. Others are church leaders. A few weeks ago a farmer who operates a threshing machine said to one of those deacons: “I am going to thresh wheat tomorrow (Sun day).” The deacon said, “Now, I would not do that.” “Why not?” said the farmer. “I don’t see any difference in my threshing wheat on Sunday and your keeping your store open.” And the merchant said, “That’s so.” Not only is it the tendency of the times but it is also the practice to follow the course of this Georgia town’s commissioners. For exam ple: The curse of liquor can’t be controlled, so the state provides for its sale under certain con ditions. When questions of this nature face the church its members argue that there are worse things and that everybody ’most is doing them. Personal responsibility is forgotten, and the moral and religious character is swallowed up by public practice and opinion. It is the po litical conception of Hitler and Mussolini car ried into the religious realm, for everybody to act together, right or wrong. Even ministers of the Gospel are known to do things of a more or less secular nature on Sunday that once would have caused their communicants to rise up and force them out of their pulpits. Our opinion is that this trend of the times is far more to be feared than all other modern movements. The indifference of people generally to certain great fundamental principles is the most dangerous condition in this generation. It would not be so bad if confined to politics, but the church itself is permeated by this adaption of life to the world in its most corrupting and damning power. Like a ship in the sea, the church is safe in the world, but it is doomed when the world gets into the church. Ruin, physical, moral and political, faces America and the world unless a radical change takes place in its attitude to great fundamental principles of life in force before even the earth was created. dle Atlantic, and Texas are over flowing with some deaths from drowning or exposure and .property losses reaching into the millions of dollars. In North Carolina no specially serious situations have yet been reported, though rivers in the eastern section are rising from re cent heavy rains, and crops are already damaged to some extent. MAIL ROBBER, AGED NINE Bruce Martin of Raleigh has been put in jail for mail robbery. He took from the mail box of Job P. Wyatt and Sons an envelope containing a check for $86.00 and tried to cash it. Only nine yeara old, the child is one of a family that has been on relief years.

Beas ley of Wahiawa-Waialulaj Ha waii. He gave a most interesting talk on the people, customs, and business life in Hawaii. Mr. Beas ley is visiting relatives in Wen dell. MANY KILLED BY PLANE In Bogota, Colombia, last Sunday thirty persons were killed and more than 150 injured when an air plane being used in acrobatic stunts hit the stand occupied by spectators, crashed and plowed its way through the bystanders. The gas tanks ex ploded and the plane caught fire. The pilot was among those killed. AIRPORT FOR ELIZABETH CITY Bonds have been voted to provide funds for building an air port at Elizabeth City for Coast Guard use. The structure is to cost approxi mately a million dollars and will serve as a midway base between Charleston and New York. WPA funds will be used largely in build ing. “One of the first things dictators and communists demand is the right of free speech, and one of the first things to which an end is put when they get into power is freedom of speech and freedom of the press. There is no freedom of speech in Russia, Italy or Germany. Dictators are afraid of the truth.” Southwestern Oregon News, Marshfield, Oregon. THE AMERICAN BOY -sells on all news-stands at 15c a copy.
