Tuesday, August 6, 1935 Business Better maintain that the forces of recov ery in this country have been noticeably at work dur ing the last four months, the increased farm income being one of the major factors for the improvement. Reports from retail stores in 33 cities show a sub stantial increase in sales over those of a year ago. The reports of expanding trade volume reflected a broadened demand for farm equipment during the past few weeks. Steadd) increased buyinfc'also wras manifest in building materials, furniture, household -wpiipmeni and electrical supplies as a corollary of the consistent gains in constructions. til rhe face of such reports, it is difficult^ to under stand the complaints ..directed by some against the New Deal. Surely, there have been errors in effect ing the change to establish human rights over those of property, but those errors are minot compared with the untold benefits receive! by the masses. Reports from this bureau, that bureau, and the mouthpiece of nearly every big industry charge so cialism. communism and all the other isms, forgetting all the while to make mention, of the improved busi-' nrss conditions and the improved welfare of the mil lions who just three years ago faced Starvation behind the rule of big business through its agencies purport ing to serve the people and not doing it. If big busi ness can make the masses forget the ^existing condi tions before President Roosevlt took office, and dis credit the efforts of the present administration, it will have proved its strangle hold on the country to be stronger than many believe it is now. The American working man does not want social ism. He is not against big business. 4AII he asks is an opportunity to work, and a fair remuneration for his labor. In too many instances the laborer and the investor have had the burden to bear in reduced wages and passed dividends, while the manipulators continued their big salaries, costly and unjustifiable competition and obsolete business methods. Respite the efforts by big business to kill the New Deal and all its agencies, the welfare of the masses continues to improve slowly but gradually. Certainly, condition-, would improve more rapidly if big business would support rather than tear down the policies that are making recovery possible. Anti-Rabies Campaign -Much criticism has been directed against the re cently enacted law requiring the vaccination of all dogs against rabies. There might l>e some founda tion to the opposition, but already it is certain that much good is lieing accomplished in this county as a result of required vaccinations. The law has proved the most effective system ever yet advanced for getting dogs on the liooks for taxa tion. In two districts in this county there were around 300 dogs listed for taxation. There were more than 600 dogs vaccinated in the same districts recently. Any law that makes possible a 100 per cent increase in the number of dogs listed on the books for taxation is to be recognised as successful. In addition to that feature, the law makes it pos sible to do away with the hundreds of stray dogs, and it is hoped that this provision will not be ignored in this county when the campaign is completed. When a person wilfully refuses to list his dog for taxation and ignores the law requiring vaccination, he isn't a fit subject to even own a dog. Probably it would tie mure reasonable to kill the owner instead of the dog, but the law had it in for the dog, and the dog will have to pay the -price. ? ? j Not a Chance The Republicans have started what they call a "whispering campaign" against the President. The bussing noise will not be heard arouqd the White House, for the Democrats are making the kjtchens iaanct-proof, and it would just seem that the Repub licans do not have a chance. In fact, the Republicans are hardly expected to get anywhere within the next few years, even if they yell to the high heaven, and surly that being the case, they will get nowhere by just whispering. ? All this yelping and growling by the money inter ests of the country might mislead a few people, bait the improved business Conditions reflected in rrhahte repoeta faewi aft ever the country will be the determin ing factor whan a i More Complaining AoMhrr new and somewhat unique attadi hat beaa directed against the Agricultural Adjustamnt Attain istratioa. This time the American Automobile Asso ciation complains about the farmers' guiding organi zation being referred to as "AAA." The automobile group would have the agricultural unit named "Agri cultural Readjustment Administration " The identical symbols are a bit confusing, to be sure, but any damage done to the automobile asso ciation by their use has been many, many times off set by the benefits derived. Had it not been for the farm AAA probably the car AAA would have been forced to discontinue operations in the South and other farming areas of this country. Briefly speak ing, the .Agricultural Adjustment Administration has kept the American Automobile .Association and nearly every other organization in this country from going out of existence. It is a sad state of affairs when every complaint possible under the sun is batched and flung at any agency that is trying to do and has done much to restore prosperity td the country. These complaints, in the final analysis, are going to strike a solid walll in the form of the farmer s vote, and it might be that the constitutionality of it all will be settled then and there, even if the old weather-worn constitution has to be amended. When Is a Food Not a Food? Scotland Xeck Commonwealth The 1935 legislature, by its muddle of alcoholic leverage laws, apparently tried to open a tiny fissure in the dikes that have kept this state theoretically dry. instead, it appears now, they scooped out a huge aperture that has let loose a flood of high-powered beverages all over the state. North Carolina, excluding 18 counties and two townships, is still technically dry. The Turlington act is still in force. Yet, from Manteo to Murphy, potent wines, admit ted under the wine act, are flowing freely. Now, un der the same act, such beverages are classified as foods. Nevertheless, the alcoholic content of some of them runs as high as 24 per cent and they are cap able of delivering a wallop that will send the imbiber sailing down the street like he had an outboard motor strapped to his coattails. They are on sale in hotels, cafes, and other places in dry counties as well as those where control obtains. "They are foods." t In the dry counties one cannot buy, whisky legally; vet "foods" which can souse their user more com pletely and leaVe him with a more devastating hang over than better grade liquors are to be had for the money. ?r ? The classification would be humorous if it were not so serious. A race of "gastromaniacs" can develop; pink elephants and rainbow snakes can lumber and writhe through the vapors that attend cases of "acute foodism.'- When Mama gels her eye blacked, the family furniture is being smashed, anrf little Oswald scampers for help, he can warn the neighbors that "I'oppa has been eating too much again." Yft you can't do anything with a man for eating. Seriously, the indiscriminate sale of wines to minors and anybody else is a menace to temperance, and is paving the way a reversion of public sentiment to ward the iKine-ilry laws. With the commissioners of the several counties rests the solution. Section 6 of the wine act states speci fically that "The County Board of Commissioners of any county shall have the right to prohibit the sale of wines in sgid county." In countfes where ABC boards function, would it l>e too drastic to restrict the sale of wines to control board stores? If action is not taken, it seems a safe prediction that public revulsion will bring about in the next legis lature. nut a further relaxation of prohibition laws, but a revival of such statutes with more teeth in them. The wets drove the State dry once; they can do it again. Abandons Hope of Perfect Land Morganton News-Herald Kandi I.orhl, a Wisconsin scrub woman who "chucked it all" and paddled a flat boat down the Mississippi two years ago in search of peace and con tentment, has given up her idealistic plan. In her boat, "The Wanderer," Randi established her lonely colony of one person at Grand Isle on the Gulf of Southern Louisiana. Weary and worn from isolation, thin from hunger, she told newspapermen some months ago that she planned to abandon her plan. An Oshkosh, Wis., woman read of Randi's plight and sent her a ticket with the offer of a home at Oshkosh and so, with char acteristic reticence, Randi left her'island "Utopia" for Oshkosh. "She said she'd stay with the Wisconsin woman who sent her the ticket until she could get a job again scrubbing floors," the postmaster at Grand Isle said. "Thai's the only thing she knows how to do except fish and row a boat." "She looked happy and adventurous when she waved good-bye to us and smiled a little as the mail man drove off with her," he added. Randi Lor hi has rejoined civilisation. It's the old story of the delusion that the place of perfe? peace and happiness is somewhere else. The grass on the other side of the fence always looks greenest. In "Acres of Diamonds" the small-town man went searching for an elusive fortune that carried him around the world, and he returned to his home, worn and weary, only to find in his own dooryard the diamonds he had sought in foreign lands. Maybe, after all, Randi the scrubwoman will fin ally find peace and contentment back among the LEGAL NOTICES NOTICE OP SALE Under and by virutc of the . of sale ~i intiird in that certain Deed o# Treat eaecated to P.
