The incorporated town of Mars
Hill, in Madison county, has 455 per
sons, an increase of 25 per cent over
its population of 1920, according to
unofficial figures announced Tuesday
by O. L. Fitzgerald, census supervi
sor. - In 1920, Mars Hill had 364 persons
as compared with: 801 in 1810 and
289 in 1900.
Mr.? Fitzgerald irtsottntaf; public
the unofficial population returns for
Rosman in Transylvania county. This
town has 888 persons as compared
with 527 in 1920 and 145 m 1910.
These are the first population fig
ures that have been available for
western North Carolina in the 1930
census, Mr. Fitzgerald said. It will
be several weeks before the census
figures for Asheville, Buncombe

counties of this district are complet

IN FAIRNESS TO EVERY CANDIDATE FOR OFFICE
The publisher of The News-RecorH has given the matter of announc
ing the intentions of candidates to rjin for office considerable thought.
Wishing and trying to be absolutely impartial toward every individual
who aspires to fill these offices, he has .found it not an easy matter to
know how much free publicity should be given in the way of news. For
instance, we could have carried a large cut and considerable reading mat
ter in our Tuesday's edition about a candidate for office who is soliciting
the support of News-Record readers. For the same office there are other
candidates who, so far as we know, are equally capable fit filling the of
fice. The question which we are puzeled to answer at times is whether
or not a newspaper takes advantage of those more backward in placing
themselves before the public by creating with a large cut an impression
which might be hard to overcome by, the opponents.
If this paper had in mind certain people whom it wished placed in
these positions, in other words, wished to take sides in the matter, and be
partial to certain candidates, we know of no more effective way than to
play them up on the (first page as real live reading matter. If this could
be done to an equal degree for all alike, at the same time and in the same
issue, giving every one an equally good position, such publicity would be
fair and impartial But we doubt that impartial justice is done when
newspapers play up with cuts of candidates certain aspirants without do
ing for all the same and to the same eSctent. This is not intended as a
criticism of papers such as The .Asheville Citizen, Asheville Times, and
others, but as a matter that we would' like to see discussed sensibly. Even
Lading spaeejn .various MtAMpM:iiaea inay givee ,

while all newspapers have space to sell, we often wonder if that is the fair
and impartial procedure when a local paper is trying to be fair to local
candidates. Can someone offer a sensible solution of this problem, which
should be settled and adhered to in times like those we are now in?

PHILADELPHIA
TACKLES
PARKING
(Editorial in The Ashevill Citizen)
(Philadelphia has discovered a new
source of revenue. A staff corres
pondent of the Baltimore Evening
Sun tells about it. It is derived
from the towing off of illegally park
ed automobiles.
For years automobilists have park
ed their cars in Philadelphia in utter
disregard of traffic ordinance; and
politics in the Quaker City has been
so rampant that the police were help
less to enforce these: laws. Several
months ago, however, the director of
public safety and the superintendent
of police succeeded in securing the
passage of an ordinance authorizing
them to establish impounding - ga
rages throughout the city and to tow
wrongfully parked automobiles to
these garages. A towing charge of
five dollars is imposed and a garage
charge of one dollar a day or any
part of a day.
The ordinance is being rigorously
enforced. It .went into- effect on
February 17th and. since that time

advisory committee on illiteracy,
asking that he become a part of the

WRITES ABOUT
CHILDREN
j "Jealousy is one of "the most evil
and commonly encountered traits in
all walks of life and so must be reck
oncd with in all human relationships'
writes Dr. Frank Howard Richardson
in his article on Child Education,
which appears in the current issue
of HOLLAND'S, The Magazine of
the South.
Dr. Richardson goes on to say,
One of the greatest services that
parents can render their children is
to so bring them up that jealousy
will play as little a part in their lives
as is humanly possible. For jealousy,
in some degree, is a very human
trait; and few of us there be who
are at all times wholly free from;
some tinge of it.
"One of the outstanding things a-
bout jealousy one that should give
parents pause is the fact that it
rarely develops after maturity. The
man or woman who is jealous was a
jealous boy or girl; he has suffered
from this tormenting obsession all his
life; and it is almost hopeless to at
tempt at this late date to cure him.
While if he is a child, however, much
can be done, by thoughtful parents
who take their , responsibilities seri-
r ousiy, ... to - prevent . the beginnings of
J this noxious growth; for if ; it once
get. a start, it is the most difficult
weed in the. world to eradicate. . V

most unhappy mortals imaginable.

that were never intended-and finding

IS PRAYING FOR
SISTER TO RETURN
April 16, 1939.
Mr. Story, Editor News-Record,'
Marshall, N. C.
I appeal to the Christian people
to help me pray for my sister, Bessie
Kent, who has been misBing since
March 21st. I ask everyone of God'.
children to pray that through God's
tender mercies mv sister's life ha
been spared and that she will be re
stored to us alive or that we may even,
hear from her, if it is God's will.
God knows my heart and how I loved
my only sister, and knows the anxiety
I've suffered in longing, hoping,
weeDin? and Dravinc to see nrv sis-''
ter again. God knows my heart and
I pray His tender mercies on every- '
one connected with her disappear
ance. I love everybody's soul and I
feel like when I reach my Heavenly
Home, that it will be through God's
love and the blood of Jesus, and
nothing good that I have done. My
sister .was a motherless girl from al
most 12-years of age, and we. that
had a mother to rear us know nothing
of what a girl without a mother is
deprived of. Again, I want to ask .
God's children to pray that my sister
will be found alive and restored to us.

FARM RELIEF
Any farm relief worthy of ' the
name must come from , the farmer

to
wards improving rural condition. .
There are certain basic principles
which must be followed if a farmer
is to succeed as he should. The first
of these is that a great share, of the
products used by the farm family-
should be produced at home; second,
that the farm land should not be -
robbed year after year, but should be '
kept up and .improved; and third, that -
the farmer should keep livestock and
grow more than one cash crop.
Failure to realize to the fullest np. '
on certain inherent advantages of
farm life is depriving many, farmers
of a large share of the ready cash
which their fellow farmer, are secur- ,
ing each year. Profits from the farm
poultry flock is one of these things.

Farmers in some sections of the
country have been educated to the .
point where they are making each
hen on the farm, pay a net profit of
between 11.50 4 and f 2.50 . a year.
Many farmers, however, overlook this
valuable source of income leaving it
to their wive, as a "pin money" prop-1
osition. ( ' ' ?
