BIGGEST STRIKE IN THE NATION'S HISTORY GOES UNHINDERED ON ITS WAY. We are so easily excited when a few hundred working people go on strike for higher wages that sl?ep is impossible, our digestion becomes impaired, our blood boils with "righteouj; indignation," and we talk about t'.itjing the fomenters and agi tators oui to a quiet spot and there hanging them to the limb of a tree. "Doggone 'em," we say, "these 1 -evils hurt business." i'Or many months now a strike has 1 ?!! in progress that is sc far le.iohing in its damnable effect upon business that tens of thousands of [ men arc spending restless nights in wrestling with their problems; busi- j ness houses are being closed because of i.V. strike; young men and young: woim- are being denied the privil ege of, pursuing their studies at col leges and universities because of tin effects of friis, the nation's big gest strike. Senw suicides have re sulted, and others will follow, all because of the terriffic forces turn ed loose from this strike influence. . We're how talking about the strike of the dollar ? the interest earner. Fabulous wages, or inter- J est. have 'prevailed for some time in America's hell-hole, on Wall Street, in New York. That thing known as "Call Money," with which our righteous citizenship indulges in the art known as gambling, offers the country dollar three times as much wages, or interest, as can be paid in that dollar's own community, so the community dollar leaves his own foll~s and highballs it to New York, to become a part of that high priced gang of striking dollars. So far-reaching is the effect of the i striking community dollar, that bus- ; iness in the communities throughout the country cannot be carried on, *ii ft... 'vorking dollars have j ^ Zl vivid ac counts of the strikes it' a few hun- : drecl cotton mill workus? Why are' they not belching forth their usual got in denunciation o' those who' stop business and bring on suffer ing? Many a Dixie dollar is dancing around the gambling tape in New York right now, while his former em ployer i.s looking for a ca?' from the ; sheriff to close him up, becaust ! these Dixie dollars struck for higher wages and followed the waV'ipg del egate of the Gambler'' Den into Hell's headquarters on earth -the stock market. IT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO KNOW WHAT THE OTHER FELLOW THINKS OF YOU. We often fall into error in think ing that our opinion of someone else is the only thing that matters. We like him, or dislike him, as 'the case ' may be, and dismiss the matter in I the mistaken idea that that's that, and the end of it. Well, it isn't. What the other fellow may think of us is just as im portant 'often more so) as our opin ion of him. You've heard a man say: "I do not like that preacher; he doesn't appeal to me at all, and I don't like him." All right. But suppose that man would stop for a moment and ask: "But what does that preacher; think of me?" He, doubtless, would be surprised, and his pride wound ed, if he could but know just what that preacher thought of him. Perhaps it is some officer that you hear a man expressing himself about. He will say : "I do not like SCHEMERS FOLLOW SUMMER CROWDS LIKE LITTLE BEES SEARCH FOR BLOSSOMS. With the coming of the summer tourists there comes u!so that gang of fly-by-night salesmen and sales women, peddling their wares to both the tourist and the Brevard resi dent. This paper is thinking just now of printing peddlers who sell advertis ing schemes to the boa/ding houses ind bus'noss houses. Extremely high priced schemes they are, too, ?vit'n but little merit to any of them, yet they manage to sell a little .pace on a board or a card for a ;>rice that would be prohibitive in egitimate business. Some of the business men of the i town told these printing peddlers chis week that they would not buy ! .heir scheme for several reasons. 1 Anions these reasons is the fact that the schemes usually are of no ' particular benefit to the advertiser.1 One reason given by some of the ncrchants was the fact that The Brevard News is here 52 weeks in he year, working in season and out for the advancement of this com- ' nunity and the business interests of ihis section, and that their adver ' | . sing money must first go into the columns of The Brevard News. You know we appreciate this attitude and fine spirit of loyalty. One firm that owes much to this paper, both in money and that greater obligation of personal ser- ! vice rendered, gave a printing ped- | dler a ten dollar bill for a little old 1 space on something that is not worth ' ten cents, and then told this paper's | collector he could not pay a bill j which he has been owing The Bre-' varil News for many moons. Youj .enow wc DO NOT appreciate this at titude. The Brevard News is doing all it can all the time for this community. Night after night, week after week, from one year's end to the other, the editor of this paper is in meet ings with other citizens, working and planning for a better business for all the people of 1 his community. The Brevard News is equipped to iiy any kind of advertising that is necessary in the interest of the bus iness life of this community. The ' Brevard News feels it is justly en- 1 titled to the support of the business j life of the community, in return for what it endeavors to do for the com- ; lr, unity. The fly-by-night printing peddlers and advertising schemers care noth- 1 ing about Brevard and do nothing for Brevard, other than to bleed it I for ail the money they can get, and then hot-foot it to another town, there to ply their trade. Of course, nothing herein can be referring to the splendil camp papers that are published during the season. The camps bring their tens ! of thousands of dollars annually to this community, and are a part of the community life, and a great part at that. We are talking about the straight out peddler, the schemer, the slick-talker, the guy who sells you a scheme, charges an unusually high price for it, and then laughs at the way he stung his victim. that officer at all." That's tremen-'l dously important to the fellow who is saying that, but suppose he could . know just what that officer thinks i of him? There would be an uneasy 1 night ahead, in all likelihood, could that man but know just what the officer does think of him. * 4 Maybe it is a newspaper that you' have heard some fellow cussing. He said : "I do not like that newspaaper at all." Just suppose that same news paper should publish its opinion about that same nmn! That would' be n horse of another color, .??oiildn't it'.' Wouldn't he b-.' sur prised to pick up a copy of the newspaper and read that paper's U-.v-t opinion about himself. it doesn't matter what YOU think of the oth( r man nearly so much us ( what the OTHER FELLOW may tiiink of you. That's the thing that : counts in the long run. He will think of you in just about the same way you think of him. Like begets like; love begets love; hate begets hate. Life is nothing but a looking glass. and about all one sees in it is a reflection of one's own self. SOME NEWSPAPERS GROW HYSTERICAL OVER THE COMMUNISTIC QUESTION. It is interesting to read the sev eral newspapers of the state in their treatment of the subject of com jmunism. The deplorable death by | the assassin's bullet of the former chief of police in Gastonia, and the shooting of other officers, climaxing the long struggle in Gaston county has been the subject of much news paper discussion. All newspapers, of course, con demn the murderers, and express re gret that this blot has come upon the pages of the state's splendid history. Some few of the newspapers have [become hysterical in their denuncia tion of communism, and all but sug gest violence in retaliation for the violence done in Gastonia. This, of. course, is a most foolish attitude to assume in the matter. We are so apt to forget many angles of a question when we be- J jorae so highly incensed over an | overt act, that any solution offered in such a state of mind is no solu tion at all, but is in reality only ad ding fuel to the flame. No sensible man or woman in North Carolina wants the doctrine ' ?ommunism to become an establish ed thing here. Communism will , never grow in any place on the face of the earth except in those places where the soil is conducive to its growth. If communism gets any . foothold in Gastonia, it will be be- j cause there is a fertile field in Gas- j tonia for its growth. The only way ' known to man or state to make im- J possible the growth of communism, is to make the soil unfit for its growth. And right there is a place where a different story might be written about the conditions that have ex- ! isted in the Loray mill of Gastonia. I Gaston county boasts of one hun dred mills in that county. The Loray mill is said to be the j I largest of these one hundred mills. Is it not significant that the Loray mill has had more labor troubles than all the other 99 mills Df Gaston county combined? Why? Have the editorial writers who are ' so jealous of the state's good name, and so fearful of the activities of the communists, ever been to the Loray mill to make a study of these conditions, and ascertain why it is that this particular mill has had so ; much more trouble than other mills about it? This writer happens to know something of the methods employed by the Loray mill, while it was un der the management of one Mr. Hayes. At the instance of Manager Iiayes, the Gastonia police arrested two men for soliciting subscriptions to a newspaper that was published in Charlotte. On the witness stand Mr. Hayes stated that he published a weekly newspaper and put in it such things as he wanted his work ers to read. He stated further that hu objected to his workers reading the paper that was published in Charlotte. This Mr. Hayes was from Rhode Island. He had come into North Carolina, and assumed the power and authority of selecting the read ing matter for these North Carolina workers to peruse. With such an un-American and high-handed method of a mill man agement, is it any wonder that such an industry has more labor troubks than are experienced in mills about it? Let's make a soil here in North Carolina in which communism can not grow, then we shall never he bothered with the hateful thing. Simply cussing communism will never eradicate it.
