The Hoover Trip to South America
The .Hoover visit to Centra! and South America
should proye of great value to this country. For
many sears our dominating power has apparently
caused them to suspect: >r perhaps envy, us; and for
that, or some other cause, they have done most of
their trading with tb countries of Europe, from Which
they are descendents.
During thf late war, however, we succeeded In get
ting a f.H.thold in all of the nations of the South
American continent, Lurope, however, is again in
those markets in strong with the I'nijed
■snrrr-"' I here lore,, the gwixlwin" anT "friendly refa •
lions which Mr, Hoover is attempting to establish and'
promote will he of lat reaching influence for good.
jealou-\ and hatred among nations is just sa harm
ful as it is in the case of next-door neighbors. One
of the greatest needs of the nations of the world to
rlrt-v v. n'l.tiiuii^..of friendliness and good willmne to—
ward another, and the ridding of the mind of sus
picion. selfishness, and jealousy. If Mr. Hoover suc
ceed- in this iask, In will do much for his people.
_ Everybody Buying Automobiles
1 he cotton crop oi North ( arolina will not pay two
thirds of the running expenses of the automobiles in
the State, which does not taVf into consideration the
depreciation in car values, nor the interest, or the
money invested ui them, svhuh if added to the actual
running exjx'nses w« uld male a sum so large .that it
would take the entire cotton crop, all the tobacco
crop, and half of tire corn out of-the barns to pay it.
With this great Cost U(Jon lis, how are we to escai>e
the cry of hard times? This, answers the questions
of which there is no demand for land -and why there
is so little chance to sell land. Of course, it is beiaUse
the people are investing in automobiles first.
The sad feature about the automobile investment
is that it does not create wealth but destroys it. All
of our automobile expenditures are absorbed in pleas
ures. vshich pass away Wke the morning dews, with
nothing to show for it tomorrow.
We are not criticizing- or offering a solution, but
simply Wondering what the future will bring. /
Where Church Members Fall Down
The Kaeligh preacher struck the .right chord in
his sermon Sunday when he said one the church
troubles today is that there are toy-many half-hearted
and hard-hearted Christians. He went a little further
and found that there are many faint hearted arid

proud hearted. If all persons who are enrolled as
Christians were to put their whole heart in their pro*"
fession, we would get a new vision of what a Chris
tian country really is.
So long as a fellow will sidetrack his religion for
every fad and sin of the world, the church will never
influence the unsaved world as it should. Every life
| that claims Christ as its guide must follow and stand
by the things He taught.
Our business, our society, our politics, should all
be guided by our religious principles. •
The church member has more responsibilities than
; the non-church member. And if all the church mem
! bers would live up to their obligations and privileges,
the appeal would be- so great that only a few .would

A Garnishee Law
An effort is now on foot tp have the next legisla
ture pass a garnishee law or submit the proposition
: t6 the voters at the next general election for their con
| sideration... • t .— ...—-- v- —7
There seems to be two sides to the question as to
! whether we should have such a law or not.
It would l>e a good law because some |>eople are
! dishonest and will not meet their obligations when they
• tan; and it may also be a bad law because sofne peo-
I pie are dishonest and want to oppress.
Our present laws have fostered dishonesty in many
| people, because it enables ptibple to get a nighbor's
I goods and never pay for them, and there is 110 law
; lo reach the man who goes to one merchant and buys
i groceries, promising to pay at the end of the week,
and then pay nothing: only to go to some other mer
' chant next week, and so on until he goes the round
and beats them all. In cases of that kind the gar
nishee law is badly needed. Hut in many/*t*es, where
the laborer has had no employment, mtfch sickness or
otlier afflictions that often befall us, great harm might
fall on helpless women and children.
While many States have such a l»w. North Caro
lina has always held out the hand of mercy to. the
[XHir people of the State.

"Blind Homer sang of Trojan wars and heroes, ViV
gil of men and arms, Horace of love and l alerian
wine, Dante of the infernal regions, Milton of Para
dise, hut if I had the genius of all these old masters
ronthined, a harp with a thousand strings, and TRF
world for an audience, I would sing with all my heart
and soul of the Cow —proclaim her virtues aiuj per
|ietuate her name to' the remotest generations.
•If I were a sculptor and had the power to chisel
my thoughts in marble, I would search the quarries
of the earth for the purest, whitest stone, and some
where in an enchanted land, where the skies are bluest
the waters purest, and the birds sing sweetest far into
the soft and mellow .moonlight nights* I would begin
a work of love and duty.
"1 would bid the cold marble speak for nte, as I.
pulled the chisel,to its sides until the rough hard sur
face took the sha|)e I wished, and at last a cow stood
revealed, wide and kind-eyed in a posture of patient
waiting to give the rich contents of her swelling udder,
and bless the receivers with joy and 1 health and
; strength.
"I would make $ base upon which this spirit of
my dreams would stand, and around its rim I would
carve the figures of dear little babies, their hands and
their ex|»ectant faces raised toward their best friend in
all th animal world -thjc friend that never falls them,
the one that puts the firm, pink flesh upon their ten
der frames, the one that firings dimples and smiles like
the touch of angel wings, when the sweet life-giving
milk trickles down their tiny throats, until the bottle
falls away and sleep comes to caress and hold them
still in its protecting arms.
