Congressional Timber There are a few fellows in the first congressional jistrict who rail be persuaded to accept the Congress man's job, when and if I.indsay Warren is named to Iris new position. There are no less than three in I'itt County-who have tsprcwd a willingniss to ,iue|it ihe job. They aer W. Conn I.anier, K. C. Harding, and M K Blount. Then, of course, there is Carl I.. Bailey, of Washington County, who might take Ihe job if it was offered him. It is also rumored tlyat Col. Kd Flannagan, of I'itt, has his feelers out (of a strike. . Most of these' men have some virtues, suite more lhan others, of course. It is a very important office, and it will lie rather hard to fill I.indsay Warren's place. Political Machines?New and Old We have heard muc h of late about the political ma chine in North Carolina, and many com|Kirisons Ik tween the old machine and the new When we review the old 'machine's" objects and purjeoses, we find very little comparison Itetween the two. The old organization, called the "Simmons ma chine, htyd for its |>ur|>ose the protection of the homes, the women and children of our state. It was formed in a day when the political strain was greater and when political leaders had to face more dangers than now. Conditions have greatly changed. leaders have to follow a different course. Certain interests want pro tection, and they make up the new machine, rather than men There C indeed a wide difference lietwcen the old machine and the new. The Great Demand Scotland Xcck Commonwealth. A man who has served 30 years as a bell hop re cently declared that the must outstanding persons whom he had served were the less demanding: that the persons who selfishly demanded attention were those persons who had suddenly realized power or wraith. " It is a truth which we often have heard, but one which we often have ignored. It seems that those persons who were born to be really great inherited a true spirit of demo<Tacy. Those persons enjoy the companionship of a Wll hop as much, if not more so, than they do the man of millions. Each human to them is a great story; one which defines interest and loyalty. Those persons who we call great are those persons who know how to live and how to be loved. They are to be emulated. An Idea, Please A sheboro' Courier. "Highway deaths widespread"?scream the news paper headlines on the two days following the fourth of July holiday. Says the Associated Press report, " 1 he nations celebration ol its lbUth, ended the worst July 4lh tragedy in five years." The estimate imludes a total of 444 lives lost and.seores and scores of injured reported?to say nothing o^jhose unre ported. Alt but seven of the 48 states reported fa talities with motoring accidents and drownings tak ing the largest toll. Firecrackers only caused five deaths this year, with airplane crashes, tavern brawls, trains, fire and a few other causes adding to the toll in a small way. All of which makes it a gloomy outlook for cut ting down the death toll on the highways of the U nited States. After all the s|ieakers who have shout ed themselves hoarse, the writers who have written out, the highway patrol who have prosecuted, insti tuted educational campaigns and the like?it does apjiear to Ire a hopeless task. We never seem to learn from some other person's experience and we all thought the article "And Sudden Death" coupled with the picture of the same name, had heljied get the idea across to many who do not read closely. Now who has an idea that will work? A Burden To Lay Down ( harlnttr Observer. In the easy,- lolling, sun-parlor psychology that is resurgent through American society today, it would be well and wise for |>arems to coax their children into reading the biographies of the great individual successes of all time. Those of the Americans of old as well as those of today. They all tell the same story?to-wit, that achieve ment comes to men through only one course of ac lioti, that ol courage and of perseverance coupled al ways With the process of hard work. Hard work is never ixcpulaf with the masses. It's a burden that the most of us are always ready to lay down. "Pay as you go" is a good slogan?but the ques tion is, where are you going??Ex. A community more interested in material things than in spiritual development is a community of the dying! Waynesboro News-Virginian. There are few things as few as two people can and do agree u|x>n, but in raking the world over one sage has found that "about the only subject on which there seems to be no difference of opinion is that an automobile is a necessity." Back to the Farm dales County Index More Americans are living on farms today than ever Ire fore in the nation's history ..according to a re |Mirt made public by the United States Bureau of the Census. There were 31,800,907 in the farm popula tion of January 1, 1935. This is 1,356,557 more than on April 1, 1930, when the last previous farm census was taken. This increase in the farm population may seem, at first glance, somewhat difficult to account for in view ol the widespread talk about distress and starvation uniting the farmers ol America. But everybody who knows anything about rural America knows that there are two kinds of farmers. One is the specula tive, commercial farmer, usually operating on a onc crop basis, whose situation is comparable more to that of a business man than to the typical farmer of tradition. The economic distress among this class of farmers is far from being typical of farmers generally. It affects probably less than a quarter of all American turner!. The typical American farmer operates the "family type" farm. He has for the most part been neither a claimant for nor a beneficiary of political efforts to "do something for the farmer." With him, farming is a mode of living rather than an effort to enrich himself. And most of the new population on the farms falls into this class. According to the Director of the Census, most of the current increase in farm population assists of families who have moved back from industrial centers to the security and peace of the land. They are "sub sistence farmers" in the phrase now current. They are the type of Americans who prefer to dig their own living out of the soil, even at the cost ot remoteness from the movies, rather than to go on relief. Strand Theatre ? Washington, N. C.
