Miller , t!otte Observer. 1)11) Ml ill :;!t THIS (OMMIMn -It was quite a surprise as well as a disap pointment when ve learned that the Methodist conference had deemed to move Dr. L. R. Hayes to Charlotte Irom here where he has been pre siding elder of the Waynesville district lor the past three years;. Dunns his three vears stay he has made many friends, both in his work and in civic life and has added much to the community in that he has always been foremost m any i lovemen't thnt was for the betterment of the community. On a 'number of occasions he has fought almost alone on certain matters, but never gave up, and was. more-aft en winner than loser. FAIR'S ND CARNIVALS If, says the Rock Hill Herald, "a county fair means a carnival with obscene shows and brazen gambling devices, then let ns eliminate the whole business from community activities." The Herald was speaking of the York coun ty fair and complaining that shows reaching a new low in smut had been exhibited not only to adults, but to youngsters of tender years. The Herald is broad-minded about amuse ments, but what it saw at its own countv fair caused it to declare that the limit had been reached and passed, both in amusements, which had no real entertainment merit, and in sucker gambling games. Many communities could examine their fairs, which are really carnivals with fairs at tached, and make similar discoveries Gieen- WILL HEAR REPEATING We have said that crime doesn't pay. It w ill bear repeating. The criminal has an idea it is good bu.sine.-.. I Jut apparent success is only a figment of the criminal imagination. The wages of Mn are death. Since the so-called Lindbergh kidnaping law was passed by Congress two years ago, the I nited States Department of Justice has in vestigated .'52 kidnapings. The number emphasizes the seriousness of the crime situation in the United States, but the results in tnese 32 cases still emphasizes that crime doesn't pay. The records in Washington show that in these two years 74 persons have been convicted and punished lor these crimes. Crime doesn't pay. One thing most needful is to impress that undoubted fact upon the criminal mind. Kverv criminal thinks he is smarter than those who have been caught; but when it is made certain to these men that there is no possible ultimate escape i'-om the law, we shall be on the way to getting somewhere in the fight. -Rock Mill (S.

V ERS AND ON E E V El) CA RS The stale highway patrol rightfully is pleased with its ellorts in curbing the driving el cars bv persons under the lnlluence of in toxicants The News' Raleigh correspondent points out that the patrol has so well impressed the seriousness ol its intentions upon those who at tunes "tank up" and drive here and there tli.it now blearv-eved groups going to football games or elsewhere hire a driver and insist that he be a teetotaller at least for that trip. Having accomplished much along that line, the patrol will serve the people ot the state again if it will be zealous in curbing the -one-eyed auto on the highways. Figures are not available to show the num. ber of wrecks m which these nuisances figure, but there is not a car driver m the state, wo venture to say, who has not called down three or four hexes on such other drivers by the score. A . svsiem of frequent encckmg of lights lor locus, too, would remove an even greater menace irom the roads at night. The cause of a w reck is often attributed to "blinded bv lights ol an -approaching car." But above all, and only exceeded by the drunken driver as a me nace, is the one-eyed and the cock-eyed car.

An' then he goes right on an' tells About the chores he did An you can bet he makes it sound Like he was quite a kid! He had t' feed a dozen cows, An' milk 'em twice a day; He always had some horses, too, That needed corn an' hay; He watered 'em, an' curried 'em, An' kep' their stables clean; An' there was other little jobs T' scatter in between! He had t' saw up logs, an' then He had t' split 'em, too, So they'd go in the kitchen stove; An' then he wasn't through Until he'd carried in the coal, An' carried out the ashes, An' filled the water pails an' pans- An' wiped up all the splashes! If Daddy had t' do so much, An' go t' school all clay, I don't see how he ever had . A bit o' time t' play; Rut-proba'ly he thought his work Was such a lot o' fun That he jus' worried every niyht For fear he might got done! 22 Years Ago in HAYWOOD i (From the files of November 1. 1112 Miss Katie Ellis, who has been the guet of Miss Carrie Sue Adam;, returned t0 her home in Savannah to day.

If you're now a. squirrel hunter, there's little use in trying to talk to a good number of folks, in this town at present, 'cause they are all out looking for the gray, bushy tailed nut eaters.

'Mm The patriotic sim on the library door is still unchanged "Closed for lack of funds. Is our civic pride in our pocketbooks ? Where are all the clubs and organizations who claim to be working for the good of the community? Here's a real opportunity for them to show what they are made of. People run in debt but crawl out.

To a really big man authority means only I guess the reason I'm not a hunter is because when only fifteen vears old 1 went every week or two, and the last tune that I got a squirrel my pal and I decided; to: skin it, rather than bother our parents with the ordeal.

I went with another bov who stuUe:od mill one could hardly '.understand him. There were three of us in the party and only one had a gun. The stuttering boy didn't have the gun but was to look out for the squirrels, suddenly he pointed towards a hickory tree end stuttered "S-S-S-SS-Sis-Sus-S-Gone now." And sure enough the squirrel was gone. A kind and considerate reader told me a good varn, but it was a con versation between a Democrat and Republican, with both throwing off on each other and finally bringing President Roosevelt and ex-President Hoover thank vou, but that was made up for politicians and not for this column. LOST SALES I was amuser1 "t o" Wnotfcr-rhv Hardly a day passes that iye are not asked by num bers of customers to prescribe a remedy for some ailment, either real or imaginary . It would be easy for us to com ply with such requests, and our sales totals would be materially increased if we did. IJut we invariably refuse such business as this solely for the protection of the cuftomer. No one is qualified to diagnose and prescribe but a physician. Anyone eke who attempts it is tread ins dangerous ground, and we would rather lose hundreds of sales than endanger one life.
