It has' cut its teeth, maybe learned to walk, and ■ no doubt will be getting stronger all the time. It has mr: ■ - >%r/^ . Vr.- is' im m^de no moneyiiyet, but it is beginning to look like a gdbd thing to others, and already there have been sciyeral pi’oposals to buy a half interest, or a whole in- tel^est in it, but always the answer given is that the paper is not for,j5ale. The makingi of, a newspaper is something more than building a house or a boat for sale. One puts in- to^ja paper more than work. A paper has a person ality that reflects the hearts and minds of those who . wtirk for it. To dispose of it would be like selling the fiiiendship of on'^)It|hg tried and true. For The Dare Cbpnty Times has been created without a cent of ca;pital, out of tljd* gbod will and friendship, and con fidence largely of tlie people of Dare County, who have subscribedrtd it, have advertised in it and en- -couraged it along... Inhere were..sojne however, who when the paper be^an', did just "as^bbse who looked at the first loco- mbtive, and swore it wouldn’t go. They just didn’t krtpAV any better. But like the locv/motive, it Avent, aij^ it is established, it is on its feet, and its existence recruits for schools, and other public charges. But the .sound, fair-minded thinking man, who knows that a good govertiment, and a contented peo ple, and the welfare and progress of the State de- ! pend.s on the condition of the State’s credit, and the , soundness of its tiscal program, will give due credit J to a Governor who has had the guts to put in effect ' these things. On the other hand, who Avants a bankruj)t, dis credited, backward State’? Such conditions Avonld soon come back on the people, reduce theii- earning poAver, their morale, and their pride. CoiJiinly the Ehringhaus policies aro’sneh as Avill be vieAved with respect and pride as the' years go by and Avill go down in history as a great adihiiiistra- tion. Tliat any candidate should be vieAA^ed as the choice of such an administration is someAvhat an honor. Any Governor should be justly jealous of any honor he had Avon, any distinction achieved for his commouAvealth, and Avould naturally guai'd this hon or, and be chary of seeing it bestoAved on any but the strongest shoulders, and the noblest of hearts. “REX” IN RENO WRITES AFTER LONG ABSENCE I*opuIar Columnist Who Wrote La.st Year for The Times Has Heen Missing: for Months is‘assured for sometime to come. I « if It Avas quitft^aifural that many people should say itfAVould not last^ome Avere voicing their hopes, some their fears, and some their hone.st belief, because thfeVe have been many papers that failed in larger toivn.s than Manteo, after less than a year of exist- arttje. J; But noAvhere is there a greater field for a small hqgest-to-goodne^s^^journal, to play up the life and human interest-sfories of folks who live, than i-ight here in the heai't of the North Carolina coastland. 'The D^’e County Times is read Avith interest in the big cities.

Every day of my life, since I was tlyco months old has been spent right lii the heart of the South. My ancestors were Southerners from the Scotch slock which has had far more to do with making North Carolina than Clyde Hoey and the Gardner clan. These anco.stors of mine liclped to fell the forests of North Carolina before the name of Hoey was ever hoard of in this Stale. They helped establish tlie sturdy and clean Ideals which give North Carolina her grcatiies.s and slrcnglh today. 1 am as soulherii ns an Individual can possibly be" Repenting epithets—“rank out sider. nnoMior Marlon Biilter, wild exi>.'’rhnciiter. insincere, foreigner, IlllnoLs jirofcssor, carpet-bagger, Bc- piibllcnn"—which ho said Hoey had applied to him, McDonald charged the Shelby candidate with dragging the cnmpnlgn into the gutter.

So 1 Quit my friend on the cattle ranch and went off witli thk s'-'anger in Nevada, and we worked on this old mine, and we got some raid, but one night when I was asleep, he departed quietly carry- •ng with him all we had made, which Included $2.500'that belong ed to me.. I had about $200 in money inside my shirt that I had set .aside, or I would have been stranded. Having gotten about all out of Oie mine we could find, I drifted down here to Reno to look thlne-s over. Since being here I heard that my cattle ranch friend had made $3,000 as beef has gone up. thanks to -Mr, Roosevelt, and every body out here U faring bettor. The Iciion is a good one, and brings back to mind the story of the Shep- hrrd.s from Brazil, who left Soutli America when the gold rusli start ed in California, over 80 years ago. and came up here to get rich. They came seeking gold. On board ship, they had pocketsfull of liitle peb bles they brought to play games with. When they got to California, they had Uirown most of them ov erboard. Gave Diamonds For Gold 'A/hen they got here, they found most of all goldfields taken no. They did discover that tlic pebbles they had .so carelessly played with, were diamonds. They made a nesh back home to look for the diamonds on their own acre.' they had so eagerly left, and found that some sharp men had entered the lands and been granted them by the Gov ernment, and had sold them at a huge profit. And that is always die case, the man turns down the acres of Diamonds on his farm, to go off seeking the fortunes he Imagines to exist elsewhere. -»nd that brings to my mind an other most interesting thing right here in this famous town of Reno, where so many people come to get divorces. I have listened to so many people here, and their arguments as to w-hy they should have a di vorce. I have nptiQed,.their.behav- ior here, and-toow they shouldn't have a divorce in 90’per ce'nt of ine cases, because the typ" of nc.pip; who get thcofc divo-.,es do.Tt i/c.jng | to get inarrleA again. Marriage is a solemn contract. It is the best approved method so ciety has worked out through the centuries, whereby men and wo men unite to discharge their obli gations of citizenship. The found ations of society is based on the home, which Is fostered through the marriage contract. - AVhen people are married the purpose is supposed to be to estab- ish a home, and. to rear children understand a^hy many things are,-, as they are. I have heard manyiilt a woman say: "My husband doesn't seem to ap preciate it because I dre-ss up for him ■’ A woman likes to keep the wrinkles smoothed out. She wants to look neat and fresh, and hei complexion made up -and to have folks look at her and say how pret ty, when she goes up and down the street. But a woman can never see that tliis really doesn't matter so much to her husband as cultivating a pleasant manner. In most cases a man wants to have somebody who is thoughtful, and doing little thlngt fc.r his weliare. And most any old girl With a homely face, can krer a .iian home, and keep him con tented if she will let him be c-tc fcrtablc and she will make -a bty- ger success cf her marlage, if sh would use half the lime spen: 11 a beauty parlor, doing thing.' t- round home to make her man '•ot- tented. Now you may think I am wr-mf but you can sum up in your mind every married couple you ' knov You will find that the husbiuii^ running out have the best lookli.i kind of wives.. Many a tlmt- yv- have heard ’em say: “Tha m ii > ought to be shot, as pretty a wif • as he has home, and he off with weman that looks like tint ( he’s after." j But it seems the world owr IhaJ women rely on their looks. In f'.cc: they have relied cn their lijjks toi much. Tlie most faithful husbands, and those who stick tighten, homei in many coses have the mo." homcjl ly looking wives. I kno'w mm wives whose faces would .st ir^ nil in a cow's udder, who have ne-.-i thought of staying away from hon For a man who has setOei tlov knows iht silly foollshnc-.s tr scmctlmes goes with pret.,^ ta: *, j and he tires of it-i all.
