Friday, September 27, 1935 Editorial Correspondence Jerusalem, Sunday, August 31, 1935. Today has been a quiet, reflective day. Our party got early breakfast, had communion service in an up per room of the hotel at 8 o'clock, and we drove out to the Mount of Olives and held a short service, in cluding reading, song, and prayer. As we looked across the Garden of Gethsemane and beheld the en tire city, we could see in plain view St. Stephen's Gate, wherr I'aul-stood and held his clothes while he was stoned to death by the howling mob and became the first martyr. Returning to the city we went to the American church at 11 o'clock, where a service in Arabic had just closed and a service in English was just beginning The service was much after the American custom equally as earnest and sincere, good prayers, songs and sermon. The afternoon was used for rest and sleep. It was only one of the many Sundays. The Mohammedans observe Friday, the Jews Saturday and the Christians Sunday, so when I went out .on the street in the early morning, work was going at full swing, including the building of a new street by the hotel door. Jerusalem is rebuilding many streets and putting in new water lines In fact, improvement is going on every place. Most of the material is carried to the place of use by hand and on the backs of goat-sized donkeys. A kind of s.u k spread iver tlieit backs and fiom a bushel to a bushel and a half of rocks or sand is poured in on each side The donkeys go alone much of the time and 30 or more are sometimes driven by one driver. Jerusalem, Monday, September 2, 193S. With our guide and all of our group we set out at 9 a m., took the Jericho road for about 15 mites, which is a new modern road, but as crooked in many places as our Western Carolina winding roads. It runs along the old Roman road, but se|>arates about 12 miles before getting to Joppa. Going out we pass Bethany, the home of Mary, Martha and I^zarus, where Jesus often visited, and where Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead. Here also was the home of Simon, the leper, in which Christ was anointeth by a woman This was then, as now, occupied generally by poor people. Now you see poverty in its most ah ject stage. Lame, sore-eyed, ragged children sur round you, begging Tor coins, as soon as you stop. This would be a fine place lor sonte rich American to send 2 fsehool teacher, build a schoolhouse; also send a good supply of eye salve and help these folks see the light of a better day. Passing, several miles eastward, You reach an old house called the Samaritan Inn It is where the par able gave to the bright young lawyer an explanation wye" of who his neighbor was, which is found in Luke, 10-25 to 31. Going still farther east, we come soon tc. a place now called "Wadi-Kelt," or "Brook Cher ith," where Kli^ha was fed by the ravens (I Kings 17:3-6). Front near this brook now runs an aque duct made of stone like an open trough, going for miles, carrying water for man and beast, and to irri gate fields and gardens in old Jericho, where they are now growing bananas, oranges, date palms, grapes, and others plants and where is seen the first sign-of vegetation in many miles. In the old town of Jericho, which is of little importance except for its ancient his tory, is to be seen hlisha's pool, which produced bit ter water until he threw a handful of salt in it and it became sweet and still remains good until this day. I-ooking east toward Moab can be seen Mount Xebo, to which point Moses brought Israel on the long journey from Kgypt His people becoming very thirsty, Moses was commanded to speak to a rock but smote it instead with his staff, and while the wa ter gushed forth and the purpose was accomplished, yet his failure to obey the command completely coat Moses thf joy of entering th# promised IhthI himself, and he went up Nebo's heights alone to die and was buried in a hidden spot by God Himsalf. It wai from that point that Joshua sent his spies to this land, moat of them returning with discouraging stories, but ? few described it as a land Bowing with milk and hooey and the journey to Canaan was commenced and was successful. The axact spot of the Jordan crossing is not known and doubtless never will be; however, it is agreed by the best scholars that it ia near old Jericho. Our party had already crossed the Jordan several miles above, where it is spanned by the Allen by Bridge. The water at this point ia a milk and cider color. It ia a swift-running stream about 75 feet vide, down within sleep banks Kfce the and is said la be from 7 to 12 feet deep Leaving the Jordan, we drove straight to the Dead Sea, which is 1,310 feet below sea level The deepest plane in it is also 1410 feet. The lowest body of water hi the world, it is about 41 miles long and 10 1 at the widest place Containing about 400 miles, it is some 12 per cent larger than Martin Coun ty. It is estimated that the Jordan and two other small rivers pour into it daily some 6 1-2 billion gal low of water, depositing about 40,000 tons af potash a year The water on top is about 25 to 30 per cent brine, and at a depth of 50 meters 50 per cent. The Palestine Potash Company has built a factory by the sea and is working 600 there. Under*the terms of the concession, they must produce 100,000 tons of salt annually, also a large quantity of potash and bromine. I took off'my shoe* and waded ia about knee deep. Some of the ladies did likewise and four of the young men took a swim. A man cannot get under the wa ter, but floats like a cork, as the water is much heav ier than the human body. The water ia so salt that no life exists in it. Fish die as soon as they enter it. It is salty enough to corn fresh meats. I am taking several stones from the sea for paper weights for friends. They hsve been lashed by the waves of the sea for centries and are smooth and nice. After lunching beside the sea, we retraced our stepe, stopping at the Garden of Gethsemane, where we en tered and were given branches of sweet rosemary. The garden is now in the care of a Catholic church, but all church people have access to it. Near by, about 100 feet, is the tomb of the Virgin, now in the hands of Greeks and Christians, to which all sects have access. You enter this tomb by an ascent of 75 stone steps leading to a beautiful opening, where the tomb Is situated. No one disputes the fact that both the location of the garden and the tomb are authentic. We find Jew, Greek, Catholic, and Protestant far less dogmatic about their religion here than we Ameri cans. They are not near so jealous and bigoted and quarrelsome as we folks in America. W. C. Mannino. Paralysis and Auto Fatalities I Regulations warning against infantile paralysis have been rescinded in this state, a calm review of the epidemic showing that while the disease was bad, it did not compare with the number of bloody and wholesale slaughter on the highways of North Caro lina. Great alarm was expressed and much excite ment prevailed over the state when a lone case of poliomyelitis was reported, but a half doxen killings on the highways were dismissed casually in the minds of the masses, giving rise to the question bow can one be so greatly alarmed over one evil and maintain a casual attitude toward a far greater evil? It is hardly reasonable for one to secret himself as a precaution against disease, and then turn to the highways, dispense with aii reason and gamble with death by speeding, taking unwarranted chances and trusting to luck alone to see them through. And while quarantines were ordered as one method of control for paralysis, the speed record of auto racers, fliers, and other fast travelers were heralded as great events. The examples set by the speeding events have been taken too seriously by young and old auto drivrs, and when they make a trip it is not how safely they drove but how quickly they got there that they talk and boast about. If the infantile paralysis epidemic, if there was an epidemic, can awaken this speed-crazy generation to the real value of human life, surely it will have accom plished more good than it did harm, not unmindful, however, of those victims who will be weighted down by the effects of the disease the remainder of their lives. Should Steel Himself for the Blow Elkin Tribune Senator Bailey says that "it is generally recognized that the Bankhead Act will be held unconstitutional when it is tested early this fall." Mr. Bailey has held to this viewpoint from the first, even when it was unpopular to do so. But now he is bei.g joined by fellow-members of the legal profession in increas ing numbers. And if and when the Bankhead Act is declared unconstitutional along with it will go all other AAA provisions whether they be good or bad, and there will be no longer governmental compulsion in acreage and production of farm products. Farmers will be privileged to plant as much or little as they please, and they will be unhampered in their efforts to make that much or little produce as much as they know how per acre. The farmer might as well get ready for this. The AAA is headed out the same window through which the NRA went to its crucifixion, and from the com plaints about the restraints of the triple A, ita demise ought to bring real joy to some of the agriculturists who prefer to do as they please. But we are wonder ing if it will? True, they can go back to the good old days of every man for himself and the devil take the hindmost, but will[ the privilege of this liberty counterbalance the loss of benefits that have come from the farm administration program? For the first time in history the fanner has been provided a place under the governmental wing along side of industry. His subsidy has baea his rental payments for abandoned acres, and his protective tariff has been in the form of benefits paid him through the processing tax. Will ha be happy when these advantages are denied him? And all because these provisions do not dovetail in with the purpose and intention of a hoary old document that eras writ ten more than a century ago to meet the needs of that day and not for this. The farmer can again make a stab at pries control through voluntary crop reduction, bat from the he will remember that this never has worked, never win without aomo sort of Should Not Milk Cows Before They Freshen 1b tit* majority at case* no milk should be taken for a cow before the animal freshens.
