TTHE prohibition issue was indisputably settled in
North Carolina last November, when the state
voted approximately three-to-one against repeal of
the Eighteenth Amendment. In Macon County the
vote against repeal was even greater four-to-one.
That,' we think, was sufficient evidence of the at
titude of the people to convince the most case-hardened
politician that it. would he nothing short of fool
hardy to attempt to legalize liquor traffic in this
stale. In the face of that preponderant expression
of dry opinion, there is no likelihood of North Caro
lina's prohibition law , the Turlington Act. being re
pealed 1)y the next ( '.one ra 1 sseinb!y. The represen
tatives ul" a few wei or doubtful districts, might at
tempt such action, it is true ; but they themselves
could hardly expect to gain much support, certainly
not enough to accomplish their purpose.
Yet, some ardent prohibitionists are working
themselves into a lather of fear lest the 1933 legisla
ture show utter disregard for the wishes of the people
and vote to license saloons or dispensaries. The or
ganized drvs are raising a campaign chest and striv
ing to make prohibition a major issue in this year's
primaries and election. The results of their efforts
nray bring them temporary gratification; but in the
liWig run thev mav find that ihe are injuring their
own cause bv keeping the
very definitely killei
a lot of worry.
Fcr the Sake
BOTH as a candidate for
tr- ., .-,.,,f. n.. -
tor ot the eotintv newspaper, the writer has a
. : a , . -
proposition to make to all' county candidates in the
Democratic primary to be held June 2. The propo
sition is two-fold :
(1) That all candidates and their supporters re
frain from use of the absentee ballot in the primary.
(2) That all candidates in contests in which three
or more names appear on the ballot agree that the
high man shall receive the nomination; in other
words, that no candidate 'hall call for a second pri
mary. It has long, been the custom not to use absentee
ballots in primaries in thi.s County, at least not in the,
selection of coenty officer-. In our humble opinion
it is an excellent custom and we sincerely hope i;
will be continued. We believe this will do much U
preserve harmony within the party without hamper
ing in any appreciable degree a representative ex
pression of the party's opinion.
Second primaries are costly, and time and again
the voters have -registered their distaste for them
With few exceptions, the hi.h man in the ftfst pri
mary comes out on top in the second, usually with a
far greater maioritv than his earlier oluralit v. On

ABOUT THE SCHOOLS
To the Editor;-
. One seldom stops to consider the
tremendous influence of the public
school upon the lives of the youth
ot the land. It has been said that
the home, the church and the
school are the three greatest in
stitutions of the world. The des
tiny of the nations is determined
by these great institutions.
It is the desire of the writer in
this little article-to try to lead the
people of Macon County to realize
more fully the great influence of
the schools in the lives of the boys
and girls of the county. The
schools should be very close to the
heart of every citizen, especially to
thfjM' who are parents. It is an
important day in the life of each
child when they enter school for
the first time. It should be a day
of dfM) eoncern for everv f:ither
and mother. Up to the time he
:enters schw'1 at the age of six
the home and the church has had
most to do with influencing is life
Cut from the day he enters school
until he is almost a mature person
that school has thp crradiMi in-
; fluence on hi life. The school has
him in charne more hours than anv
him in charge more hours than any
other one Hii teacher introduces
him to new lines of thought, new
ideas and the subjects from which
he will form a great many of his
ideals and habits which will finally
largely determine his character.
This being true it matters a great
deal as to who his teacher is and
shat his teacher is. It matters a
treat deal as to what his teacher
believes about life, about CVd, about
the church, and about Christianity.
It is the right of every father and
mother to know something, in fact,
a creat deal, about the person who
is to play so large a part in the
making of their child. The par
ents should seek to know what a
teacher is in habits, in ideals, in
chararter and what he believes. It
has be- n said that character is
what one is and reputation is what
people think one is.
school teacher with a clean
' hristian character, with high ideals,
is a g: at blessing to any lom.-.
mnnifv Rut one who disregards
the church, and organized religion ;
one who is low in ideals, unclean
in speech and in habits is a dan
gerous personality to any school or
i-ommunitv ft has been the writ
rS xnerience that his teachers
have ;nf!uenred his life more than
his preachers.
If we believe the foregoing state
ments i i regard to the influence of
schools and teachers, it will lead
ns to realize the importance of
havintr the right kind of teachers
It will lead us to see that there is
a ireat n-sponsihilitv resting upon
the men who are charted with the
task of selecting those who will
teach our children. It will lead us
to sec that it is the duty of every
citizen to cooperate to the fullest
extent with our board of education
and with the County Superinten
runt in selecting teachers for the
c.mity. It is the duty of every
citizen to investigate the life of
each person to be considered as
teacher in order to be sure that
we will have those teachers and
Only those who will be safe leaders
for the youth of this county.

expect, those with high ideals and
Christian character and those who
will cooperate with the churches
and religious life of the community
and help to develop a well round
ed citizenship in our county.
The writer feels sure that it is
the (lcsire of the men .wno ;irt.
charged with this responsibility to
. A -----t . t t. , a :t.i..
give to our youth the best possible
and to do the will of the people
whom they serve to the best of
their ability. But the citizenship
should do like the girl wh wanted
to get married and her beau was
too timid to propose to h?r. He
came one night and she waited and
waited for him to speak and final
ly she said, "Speak up John, ex-

Macon county, may we speak up,
express ourselves to our Board and

Our boys and
girls are our greatest possessions
and we cannot afford to take
chances as to their training. They
are our "future citizenship. They
will be the type of citizens we
make them by the influences that
arc thrown around them.
In closing this little article may
I make an earnest plea to the
citizens of this good county that
each and every one will be vitally
concerned for the best interest of
our schools and cooperate with our
hoard in securing at all times those
teachers who will have the best in
fluence possible. Now the writer
believes that there are as fine peo
ple teaching in Macon County as can
be found in the world. lint he
also believes that there are those
teaching in this and everv other
county whose influence is not safi
for our boys and girls.
