A Well Paying Crop OVER in Madison County they raise lots of cat tle and tobacco, but we" believe their biggest crop is hooked rugs. Passing through that county the other day, going from Asheville to Burnsville, the editor observed that rugs were being made or were hung out for sale on the porch of nearly every home along the highway. Women and -girls, even men and boys, were seen seated before their stretch ers busily hooking varicolored rag remnants into rugs, varying in design from geometrical figures to flower gardens and animals. Many of the rugs are sold to tourists, but the bulk of 'them is sold through gift shops and deal ers. It would be difficult to estimate how many thousands of dollars this thriving industry brings into Madison County each year. It furnishes a gainful livelihood for hundreds of petsons, many of whom otherwise would probably be among the unemployed. What a fine thing it would be for our people in Macon to develop some home industry rug making, jug turning, chair making or what have you to supplement their incomes from farming. Radio Reforms Itself X7E are glad to see the radio broadcasters wak- ing up to some of the objectionable practices which thoughtful people have long recognized. One of the big radio chains has announced a new policy which, it seems to us, sets a standard which all broadcasters ought to maintain. These policies relate both to the character of programs intended for children and to the advertising features of commercial broadcasts with which most adults are either annoyed or disgusted. The Columbia Broadcasting System is trying to do for radio what is being done for the mo vies, in cleaning up its programs intended for children by prohibiting the exaltation of criminals, the glorification of disrespect for authority and in all other ways prohibiting the broadcasting of programs which might have a bad effect upon the moral and ethical standards of the immature. In its commercial programs the rule has been laid down that not more than ten per cent of the time on the air may be devoted to advertising talk. Surely six minutes out of an hour's program is time enough to impress upon the listeners the merits of somebody's tooth paste or motor oil. And even these abbreviated advertising talks are being more strictly censored than ever. False or unwarranted claims for any product are forbid den; no programs or advertising announcements which are unfair either to competitors or to the public are permitted. A strict rule has been laid down against appeals for funds over the air and also against all forms of lottery announcements. All of those principles and regulations have long been the practice of all reputable newspapers. We have long thought that it was unfortunate that the newspapers did not take hold of and control radio broadcasting in its beginning. Radio has been running wild but it looks now as if, under the pressure of public opinion, it was beginning to catch up with the long-established ethical stand ards of the press.

Hoey and A Graham) is a bit spotted from th standpoint of public interes throughout the state. You can ta to travelers and one wul tell y that Hoey is running wild whi another will avow that Graham far in the lead. Most of the'd interested lads getting about o the state will tell you, howev that the campaign has not pr gressed far enough to raise ma: bets. The political gamblers wa to see the horses warm Up befo they lay the long green on the m hogany. STIRRING When Thad Eure, principal cle of the house of representatives f several terms, announced that would be a candidate for secreta of state next spring, he didn't st there. No sir, Mr. Eure is detel mined to unhorse Stacey Wade, cumbent, and while this is writ! the contender is up and doing the little game of vote-getting. the other hand, Mr. Wade is slouch at snagging the ballots a merry race may be expected one and all. IRKED " Governor Ehringhaus is a m mannered man but once you get ire to the boiling point watch the steam to pop off. Down the governor's conference at Bil Miss., a representative of Harry Hopkins, head man of the fed relief program, said the money not being spent politically. North Carolina's own chief executive re plied that such was rapidly becom ing the case, or words to that ef fect. Of course, neither Mr. Hop kins nor his representative liked that, hut they picked the right man to get them told if they do start in to playing human miseries for votes in 1936. SPEAKER Representative W. L. Lumpkin, of Franklin, is doing a bit of letter writing these days in the hope of lining things up for his campaign for lieutenant governor. Meantime, Representative R. Gregg Cherry, of Gaston, chairman of the 1933 house finance committee, is sitting back in his law office in Gastoaia await ing the reception of his unofficial announcement for the speakership. Major Cherry says he doesn't in tend to plow up the state capitol in an effort to be made speaker but if you want a fight on your hands just tackle one of those Cherry boys. It looks interesting from I this distance. I B i m m I; mm m- BBBBl BBBB1 BBBH m u i I e m m m H - m I" aa ' 1 I He Er ' ' e tor Lieutenant Governor, senator ! Paul D. Grady, of Johnston, already has his hat in the ring arid in ad 1 dition to Lumpkin Senator Carl L. j Bailey, of Washington, and former senator ueorge iviciNtui, oi vuiu berland, both are considered real threats for the post. Some peqple are wondering why the Number Two post in the state government has suddenly, become so popular. ROADS The State Highway commission is making visible use of the $3, 000,000 emergency appropriation passed by the late general assem bly and as you ride about over the state on secondary roads you will find many holes newly patched. But it will be a job for somebody to keep them in shape with big, heavy trucks beating them to pieces and the highway fund diversionists al ready planning their campaign in the 1937 legislature. PRISONS- The state government is hoping to get an allotment from the fed eral relief program to construct modern, fireproof prison camps in all sections of North Carolina. Pris on conditions have been greatly improved since the state took over the old chan-gang system buthous ing conditions in many camps are still bad. EXECUTIONS- July 1 is almost here and all per sons sentenced to be put to death for crime in North Carolina will die in a lethal gas chamber instead of the electric chair under direction of an act passed by the general as sembly. It has not been decided just where to locate the gas cham ber at the state prison in Raleigh but indications are that it may be located atop the main building. Two or three towers of unique construc tion are thought by some prison officials to provide ample quarters for the gas chamber. HOLIDAY Death took a holiday at state prison during the month of June. Several prisoners were scheduled to sit in the electric chair but because of remodeling now underway at the prison the death chair had to be moved. The instrument of death was thrown out of commission for about four weeks and as a result at least four prisoners were given a longer lease on life. RESORT Citizens of New Hanover county are hoping to get the state to con struct a road along the sound side of Wrightsville Beach reaching up beyond Lumina pavilion. The coun ty has some road money coming to it under the future road program and there are many leading citizens who would prefer to see it all spent to get a road up the south ern end of Wrightsville. Later they hope to connect Wrightsville and Carolina Beaches with an ocean front road that would be a real attraction to tourists. MAKE YOUR OWN WAVE SET Wave your hair at home for a penny!
