Gandhi's Hunger Strike
is hoped that some way. will !*■ found to pre
vent Gandhi, the declared great man oi (India, from
going on a hunger or starvation strike.
' It is >i great love he is manifesting to sufi'er'for his
people, and he can do them more good living than
dead. It will take a long time to graft and'grow the
people of India into a citizenship of culture and self
government. Jf Kngland's Ideas of governing India
are faulty, Mr. Gandhi can help solve the problems
by helping change ideas and improve the system.
But, suppose'he goes on a starvation strike hnd dies,
who will he save? And, after all, Gandhi may be mis-
taken in some of his opinions.
Great Britian has had a long experience with col
onies of different peoples throughout all quarters of
the earth, and in every case she has helped them if
they would be helped. Gandhi can't .redeem his |>eo
ple by starving himself .to death.
Friendly Visitations
The Wilson Chamber of Commerce is taking a nec
essary step for community progress by visiting prac
tically every community in Wilson County. A large
number of Wilson people are attending tiiese meet
ings, and they are geriecaUy met by many of the citi
zens in the communities where they go.
We have lived the selfish life so long that when
our money is gone we feel friendless in a cold world,
where the people don't care for us any more. The
most valuable asset we have is our friends worth far
more to us than dollars. Then why not make friends
of all the people around us?
The people of Wilson need the friendship of every
citizen in that county, and every person in that coun
ty needs the friendship of all the people of the town
of Wilson. It is easy for them to make friends by
the simple method of visiting each other and, becom
ing acquainted.
Our failure to make friends as we go through life
causes us to lose a fourth of our profits and half of
our pleasures. When we learn to regard our neigh
bors as helpful friends rather than unfair enemies
we will all get along better.
Friendly visitations would l>e a fine thing for Mar
tin County folks. *

Market Good Tobacco Slowly
With the extremely small crop of tobacco grown
this year and the fact that the earth in the tobacco
belt is full of blue mold, a thing that no man ap
parently does not know how to combat successfully,
we feel that tobacco is still selling for a low price.
If the crop is as short as the government predicts it
to be and most people say it is considerably shorter,
then the old law of supply and demand is not func
tioning as it should. The grades of good quality leaf
are selling for a low price. It may be that the far
mers are rushing their good qaulity grades on the mar
ket too soon since good quality grades seldom com
mand the best price until the leaves begin turning
red in October. It may l>e ali right to reil the low
Quality grades now, but it lwks as if the better grades
should sell higher later in the season.
Rememl>er the crop is short and the blue mold may
cause a shorter crop next year.
Dangerous State of Affairs
Mr. R. R. Clark, of Statesville, in his comments
in the Greensboro Daily News says that an honest
man has it hard in politics, referring to the new mayor
of New York City, who has already reduced the sal
aries of political officeholders in that city by $2,000,-
000 ta'king his own sajary first and cutting it -from
$40,000 to $25,000 a year. Mr. Clark thinks the
politicians will destroy him; and of course they will
if they can. . '
This attitude constitutes a sad and dangerous con
dition of affairs. When a set of grafters get charge
of things, not only do they take the public taxes but
they take money from anybody who wants to violate
the law. That is why there is so much wickedness in
the land. The love of money makes men do almost
any crime on earth, from Ixiotiegging to murder.
The Silent Mr. Hoover
Mr. Hoover is taking the wise cojirse by keeping
silent, especially wise just now, because h£ has noth
ing to say. lie is evidently hoping that t'hfc little up
turn in business will be credited to him, which after
all he hopes will overbalance any ordinary argument.
On the other hand, Mr. Roosevelt is pressing his
case with the |>eople, which is apparently good psy-
because the public mind is in revolt against
present conditions, and the mass of the people are
confirmed in their opinion that the government is be
ing administered more to the advantage of some
classes than it is for some other classes.
A Necessary Organization
The McDowell County school authorities have re
fused the schools of that county the right to organ
ize parent-teacher associations, according to press re
ports. When the school authorities of any county
feel that they are high and mighty enough to refuse
teachers, fathers, and mothers the right to confer for
the purpose of promoting the good of their children,
it Irtoks like ifts about time to kick somebody out
of office.
The getting together of parents and teachers to
work out the problems of the schools is one of the
best things being done for the promotion of the
schools.
One of the greatest drawbacks the schools have had
is the neglect of parents to get Acquainted with teach
ers and help them over the difficulties that they have
to face so often. Kvery school jieeds closer c (opera
tion, and the association of parents and teachers comes
&£££& filliflß the bill than any other single thing that
lias been started up to now.
