It would seem the jurist is trying to ease his conscience, so he looks around for a political enemy up on whose head he would dump the mess. Whatever his motives were in allowing the bill of indictment to be drawn for first degree and climaxing the trial with the death sentence the jurist comes out with the argument that there was need for a worthy example. It a man's life was unduly taken, then m this case the trouble is traceable without question to the trial jurist. Judge Hamilton would set an example for people to think about down in murderous Harnett by sitting idly by and sanctioning the trial of a man for his life, and then crit icise someone else because the man was executed. Judge Hamilton apparently would create the example, but. in turn, would have the Governor cast it aside, possibly taking the opportunity under such conditions to condemn the Governor for interfering with his handiwork on the bench. Threaleniiif! Democracy The close connection between big-time gamblers with officials has been fairly well established in various parts of the country. By way of corruption or pressure, gamblers have carried on a business, figuring in the billions of dollars. From California comes a report that the Stage is being set for an investigation point ing to "weak and corupt federal income-tax enforcement.” When we see the gambling promoters tear through our own State Legislature and get the lawmakers blessings for the opening of lace tracks and betting windows, we can’t Jiylp but believe that Democrc^y is hying vVc '1 dm told about the wonderlui revenue-producing power the tracks and other gambling schemes offer. It is no worse lor a man who, finding it impossible to meet his obligations out ol his legitimate income, to go out and steal to make the higher grade. C.om plicated Complicated causes surround the failur of so many young men when they underg Army examinations. One group says the “failures” are trace able to non-attendance upon the school.* Probably that explains away a majority o the failures, but failures have been traeeabli to high school graduates. Possibly there are reasons, although no valid ones in our times for children to re main out of school. In many instances th< work of the child is necessary to sustain life But there is little cause to suport a grad uate s failure. The subject either employee opossum tactics at the Army Center or out educational system fell down on the job. Dhp (on sit lor at ion Buying is rapidly pushing toward its sea : son peak, and it is only fair and just that due consideration be given the home mer chant. ihe guv-who figures prominently in the economic, religious and civic fields in I our community. He is the man who pays taxes at homd. gives to charity at home, sup1 ports an endless number of drives, cheers you and me along the way all through the year, and is an all-around good fellow. While it is admitted that costs are high, | a fair comparison proves beyond all doubt I that the prices of the home merchant are directly in line with the mail order house and the foreign merchfnt, quality, service and all other factors considered A It is only fair to give the home merchant due consideration at Christmas time and all other times in the year. The South and It* Critic* The Greensboro Daily News Whether it is worthwhile to stick a hat pin in a straw woman, we don’t know. Per haps it is if you enjoy it. W. E. Debnam’s "Weep No More, My Lady" has sold 80,000 copies. ‘ The straw woman” is an effigy of Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, who was right when she. intimated that there were “signs of unhappi ness and poverty” in the South. We cannot help them disappear by denying that they ‘ are there. To those who love the South for what it is and who are willing to look its faults as well as its virtures in the face in the hope of making a better South, the Debnam booklet is no special contribution. When the South is accused of “signs of poverty and unhappiness,” it is easy to re tort (as Debnam does) that there is plenty of unhappiness and poverty in the North, j East and West. Nothing could be more true, unfortunately, and nothing could do the South more harm than to seek consolation for its own deficiencies by supinelv con templating those of other sections. That is not the way the South has made the amaz ing progress it has made particularly in the past 50 years. Mrs. Roosevelt as a critic of the South is often misguided and wrong, we think, but fundamentally sympathetic and desirous of being helpful. The South is strong and great enough to take. It no longer runs its Walter Hines Pages out of the country. It builds on the land its critics have cleared. ter, because a human is not a lump ot ‘putty.” Every child ought to be taught two things: Not to be afraid to live and not to be afraid to die.—Ex.
