C., as second-class matter under the act of Congress of March 3. 1879. Address all communications to 1 he Enterprise and not individual members of the Erin. Friday. January 31, 1936 John W. Davis and AI Smith The fact that John VV. Davis, the unsuccessful candidate for the [(residency some years ago on the democratic ticket and that he is Morgan's trust law yer. has come out i nadvance in warning against changes in the basic laws of our nation, and that the action of A1 Smith, also an ex-candidate for president, comes out under guise of the Liberty League, is both significant and disgraceful Both men are now seeking the destruction of the |?arty that they claim ed their own, and pledge dtheir loyalty to. The two of them should be kicked out of the party. Davis is Morgan's agent, and. of course, Morgan wants no changes made in the basic laws that have enabled him to rob and rob lawfully. He wants to let things go along as they have gone, a practice that has enabled him to name the market price of everything that the country has offered for sale in years and years As to Al Smith he has gone further with less to commend him than any body in the country. He does not represent the needs of the |ieople' in any way, and when his story ^is properly recorded, it will put him in the class of common men without any real honor. We people who have enjoyed a season of honest government and prosperity rescued from the gang that both Davis and Smith are trying so hard to put in charge of our affairs, should rise against them with full force and not permit lying critics to destroy the liberties of the ordinary people in order that their selfish oppressive gang may buffet and kick the work ing people of the land out of their own earnings. Away with Davis and Smith and down with their advice should tie the cry of every fair-minded Ameri can Be Prepared for the Extremes For years there has been a tendency in people to say that everything has changed and things "ain't like they used to be. They say we user! to have cold weather and deep snow in winter, but we now seem to have floated into the Gulf Stream and do not have cold weather any more Now they are saying that the Gulf Stream has left us, and we have floated back into the region of cold weather, and we are shiv ering just as the people did in the long ago. Our guess is that the forces of nature are about as accurate as any of the natural laws. We have always had some dry weather and some wet weather, some hot and some cold, and we may expect to be governed by these regulations certainly throughout our gener ation. The fact is we blame the seasons for too many of our ilk If we fail in our undertakings, we like to blame the weather or the neighbors, rather than to come out truthfully and say that we did not play our own parts so well. The better plan is to be prepared when the extremes do come. We should not wait un til the meal is gone before we go to the mill, because some storm may wash the mill away unexpectedly; The Greatest Benefit South mi r Virginia Sews. The AAA brought the farmer more money for his current crop, but that wasn't its greatest benefit. Its greatest benefit, we feel, was the practical lesson it taught. That lesson was that the farmer who joins with his fellow farmers in holding down production gains in the long run?not only in beter prices but in the various benefits which come to the man who uses for other crops the land taken out of tobacco?for crops that will provide food for his family and feed for his stock. Such land use reduces his cash requirements for goods at the store. It enables his family to live bet ter, at smaller cost. It means more animals on the farm, for home use and for sale the year "round. It means preserving and replenishing the fertility of the toil?larger crops from fewer acres. Any way you figure it, at any time, well-diversified crops, and no cultivated crops at all on low-grade land, mean bet ter time, better living, for the farm family. Now is the time for the fanner to cut down his "cash crop"?whether tobacco, or peanuts, or cotton ?and to put in other things-more pasture, more hay, more grain, more fruit and vegetables. This be mast do voluntarily, ualaas a new kind of AAA is land it m ami Kindness and Courtesy It is said that kindness and courtesy cost nothing and are worth everything in business; yet their prac tice is too often neglected Prospective customers frequently feel and atmosphere of coolness wfeen they appruach a business house where kindness and courtesy are absent. Many merchants would profit greatly by wearing a more pleasant look on their faces and speaking more courteous words. And the same thing applies to every other kind of business. The old habit of saying, take it or leave it, will not do any more. Most customers disdain a grouch, and will not deal if they can get service at any other place. It is one of the big assets of a town to extend cour tesy to every legitimate class of people, and the same is true with people as individuals. True friends are never a burden to any one, but are rather a lasting asset. Three Courses Open to the Farmer What will the farmer do this season? He has three choices. One is to farm on a very economical scale: that is not to spend too much in trying to grow a big crop. Another is to plant a big crop and lake a sure chance of getting a very low price, less than the actual cost of production. Another is to plant a small acreage to money crops, which will yield some profit. The farmer is acting as his own guardian this year, , and -those bull-headed fellows who get mad when they cannot have their own way all the time can plant just all the crops they wish; and it is expected that they will go the limit this season, which means that they will be victims of the exploiter. Experience has taught the wise farmer not to let his crop cost too much and not to grow more than the buyer will need. Only Three Scotland Xeik Commonwealth. The most ironical "editorial" on the subject of speed ap|tears quite inadvertently, in an engagement book issued by the New York Telephone company It lists the names of speed record holders in three fields, as follows: "Air?Lieut. Krancesco Agello, Italy, 440.29 mpli. "Water?Garfield A. Wood, U. S., 124.86 mph. "Land?Sir Malcolm Campbell, England, 301.337 mph." What a smack in the ego this must be to the na tions legions of amateur speeders! For the only places their names can appear are the police blotter or the obituary page?and their numbers submerge individual celebrity. 'Tis tough. There were 6,850 persons killed and 134,300 in jured in automobile accidents during 1935 as the di rect result of excessive speed. Kut the statistics can not show how ini[xirtant a factor s|>eed was in nearly every other cause on the motor-accidnt calendar. Driving cars too fast for conditions played a promi nent part in thousands of accidents charged to vio lating the right of way, cutting in, passing a stand ing street car, passing on a curve or hill, driving off the roadway, and reckless driving. The smart, twentieth century attitude on speed is that it is no longer a question of how fast you can go. but of how fast you can stop. Excessive speed is relatively so insignificant that out of the whole world only three names are given any mention for it. The Typo Error Thr Charlotte Observer. Ty|>ographical errors are the nightmares of publish ers and editors of newspapers. They are not dessert to the readers of the news papers. You would probably never see a line as badly balled up as this, but suppose you did happen to run across this in your favorite morning newspaper: "The correct way to spell correct is COTERRC." Well, you would think and probably say a lot of things and be justified in doing several things. The first impulse would be to inquire why The Ob server didn t hire some printers, editors, proof-read ers and whatever it takes to get rid of that kind of mess. And such would be justifiable. But this is to invite considerateness and charity when a typographical error does happen to slip in de spite all the sleuthing and care and watchfulness that can be sumoned. Consider, also, the errors that ARE NOT MADE, but which might easily enough be made. It has been ascertained, for example, that in that word above, the word CORRECT?there are 5,040 different ways to arrange those seven letters. I haven't tried it and am not going to, but somebody has. Only one possible arrangement of them will cor rectly spell CORRECT. Courtesy Pays Sampson Independent If somebody asked us to name the thing which is worth the most and yet coats the least, we would say it is courtesy. No sane person would discount the worth of courtesy to the individual who practices it or to others with whom such individuals may come in contact. And yet very few people utilise courtesy as they should. There are exceptions, however, but they are few. Nothing excels courtesy for making and holding friends, and surely no person can have a greater as set than friends?plenty of friends. Being courteous may be a habit, but if it is, then we know of no more desirable habit to cultivate. Courtesy pays in more ways than one.
