NATIONAL EDITORIAL, AS,C5T(T Thursday Afternoon, June 8, 1950 nother One For The Legislature .' Among the many suggestions already made far the 1951 Legislature ;to undertake to solve when it meets next January is changing the method of execution in North Carolina. One man, has. suggested that a firing squad is much better than the present system pf Using cyanide gas. His argument is that it is Quicker, and that no one person will have the feeling that he pulled the switch, or any Other gadget to bring on death to the priso ner. This same man argued that a firing squad of nine men would be used, with only two having bullets in their rifles and the Other seven rifles loaded with blanks. It has not been, so .many years ago ;that the Legislature changed the method of exe-, cution from electricity to gas. The measure was taken after much study, and it was de termined that gas was quicker, and' more humane, if that word could properly be used along with execution., - . " While we do not pose as an authority on the subject, we learned from discussing the matter with a Waynesville man .who has witnessed two deaths in the electric chair and two in the gas- chamber, arid' Ipiis version is that there is no comparison, as" to "the quickness and ease in which the gas operates. a firing' squad h shook his head, and gaVe his" answer: "Until- they find something 'bet ter than gas,' I would not favor a change and k firing squad is not the answer." s i Perhaps the subject willr never' come up, jmd the Legislature might not have to cope jvith the problem then too, such a subject tnight be welcomed by the law makers as a ' j'breather" in between some of the discus sions on ways and means of balancing the state budget; When June rolls around one can always look for the usual number of weddings, grad uations, and in recent years, hear a lot about dairying. ' ' ' The dairy industry has set aside the month of June as a month to inform the public of the value of dairy products, and the importance of the income from this'snurce. Here in Haywood county there are 83 grade A dairies, and some 8,000 dairy cows, which represents a sizeable investment. It takes a large outlay of capital to keep such an enter prise operating, and hundreds upon hundreds of acres of pasture lands, as well as crop lands in Haywood are devoted to the dairy ing business. Agricultural officials estimate that dairy ing has grown in the county to a "million dol lar crop" which is a lot of money in any lan guage. In fact, it averages about $2,730 per day every day in the year. Again, that is a lot of money for one farm income. Needless to say, dairying in Haywood is an important part of our agricultural and eco nomic life. And those who are in the business are making great strides in constantly im proving, and being" at the top in the produc- tion of quality products. While the dairying business has set aside June as Dairy Month, it looks from the figures that in Haywood, every day is dairy ing day.

Al5fTr UtlT0u', hooking Back Over The Years Rural Fire Protection . Comes Up Again The disasterous blaze of early Monday morning at a Lake Junaluska business firm proves again that rural areas can suffer from fires: This fire of Monday, and one of several weeks ago at, Balsam, and also Jake's Place, brings up again the question of the need for fire fighting equipment for rural areas. In all of the fires mentioned, above, the blaze' was discovered too late for firemen to do much good, except for saving nearby buildings. In the case of the Balsam blaze the firemen vised a fish pool at the hatchery as a source for water, while at the Lake the pump line was dropped into a manhole which had an ample supply of water! , As the rural area grows and develops and there is certainly no indication of it not continuing as' it has for the -past few years, the need for rural fire protection grows more acute.. Not for a moment would this newspaper be willing to. see a hit-and-miss rural system established. We feel that the plan should be given careful study, and the advice and sug gestion of experts sought, Haywood is a big and progressive county, and fire when out of hand can wipe out in a short time the efforts of a lifetime. 15 YEARS AGO Large crowd hears- Josephus Daniels at the opening session at Lake Junaluska on Haywood Coun. ty Day. .

MIRROR OF YOUR MIND r - ? " By LAWRENCE GOULD Consulting Psychologist healthy if you cannot enjoy Ufe--and other people. And if you en joy life, you will want to make the world a happier and healthier place for others by helping to wipe out, not only physical dis ease, but the "social maladies" liko racial prejuidco and tnterna . tional suspicion, on whose, cure humanity's survival depends.

You're not truly : Ar letters to this column "confideoliol"? Answer: They could cot be more so. No one ever sees them except myself and my trusted secretary, and they are destroyed as 'soon as they have been read and digested, with no record kept ot the names or addresses of the writers. 1 wish 1 could .answer them individually but this would leave no time for the writing of the column, and I will not use form letters" in answering ques tions of which no two are exactly alike. Even in referring to a cor respondent in the column, f change the details enough so that he cannot be identified. STAYING? The belief here Is that Capus Waynick, sometime am bassador to Nicaragua may not re turn to this Central American country, but will remain in Wash ington as special assistant to the administration in its plans to give the submarginal areas of the world a helping hand. While the congress is still looking slightly I askance at this latest Good Samar itan, North Carolina's Waynick is busily preparing the groundwork for his world-straddling efforts. Capus Waynick in his new duties may be required to do a great deal of traveling, but his heart will re main deep in North Carolina. He may well be your next Governor, Dr. Frank Graham's 300,000 votes being a giant step in that direc,. tion. He Is recognized as one' of the best thinkers , in North Carolina politics, but until he decided to taitc a gander on Kerr Scott a lit tle over two years ago now he was another man with a good 'brain getting nowhere. Scott, as you know, wasn't given.. a chance to win. Waynick, on the advice of the late J. M. Broughton, left his uncertain future with the Reynolds Foundation, cast his lot with Scott, and was gathered up into political stratosphere when the dark horse came in the winner. From doldrums to diadem in six months of 1948 was Waynick's good fortune. Now he is nuttine to. full use his long experience; as edito, o4.me ounaior, cnairman ot the State Highway Commission, and gtneral liberal' partner. He is a friend of labor, Jonathan Daniels, the colored man, and the farmer Beat that. -. ballots than did Dr. Frank with his 302,000. So, North Carolina is no Fair Deal idiot and is no Dixie crat fool, and should be shoved into neither camp by eager beaver wit Voice of the People . Should voting machines be used in Haywood County's1 precincts? NO SUCH THING Some num skull in Raleigh wrote last week that Charles Johnson led Kerr Scott by about 40,000 Votes in the first Primary two years ago. The figure was not far off, but applied more nearly to the boating Scott gave Johnson in the runoff, John son polled less than. 10,000 votes more than Scott. ' vx': GRAHAM! Senator' Frank Gra nam is an exclamation point - f el lowj any way you look at him. . If you like him, you love him, exclam ation point! if you dislike him, the exclamation mark is , still . there. This column received a note last Friday from Fred Severance of Asheville, editor of a fine weekly, "The Asheville News". You. may not be interested in everything he had to say, but the Severance or chid was this sentence to the editor of this column: "We take it you arc for Frank Graham.'", yv. There was the exclamation sign looking just as bold and exqitlng as it did at the end of a Graham supporter's statement in saying this column leaned to Smith. A political tightrope successfully tripped Thanks for your indulgence. BETTER More than, half the votes, cast in the Primary on, May 27tH went to candidates other than D. Frank Graham. He wqlj realizes this and will be a better Senator because of the knowledge of it. There is a strong conservative ele ment in North, Carolina, and, odds are that Willis ' Smith received jnorewhu..vots-iabis - 252,000 y.yy '. : '-. " NOTES-Willis Smith has . . vor hod . ample funds (there were bints of $100,000) to carry on a fighting, campaign for a second Primary, but his wife, who hasn't been well for some time now, was the final factor in his decision about the delayed action on a run off . ; . While Gov. Scott lost some friends in the legislative fights, the prestige and influence which a Graham victory, will bring him is expected to more than offset these oereats ... , Heports reaching Ra leigh are to the effect that the Re publicans hqoe to gain this fall irom the recent Graham - Smith free-for-all . . . Something to think ajjout; Would Frank Graham have received a clear majority, winning in the first Primary, if he had not been flat-on-his-back sick and out of circulation during two crucial weeits or the campaign? Did this Illness create a sympathy vote? ' . . . There is some feeling here that Gov. Kerr Scott will bs the next U. S. Senator from Eastern North' Carolina . . , by appoint ment before 1954 or by election at that time . . . Four of the big news papers in the State were for Frank graham; Ash'pville Citizen, Wins- lan-baienr Journal, Durham Her ald, and Raleigh News and Ob server . The High Point Enter prise, and ,the Charlotte Observer were strong Smith papers . . Grady Cole, WBT's morning drawl er, was all out for Smith1. . . Smith people admit now they had weak organizations in several counties and they ran .completely out of funds five days before the Primary and .were forced to cancel adver tising here and there . . . Lynn' Glen W. Brown, Clyde: I believe they would help with the final tally. That appears to me to be where their pnncioal advantage would lie. I don't believe they'd speed ud the actual voting process much, if at all. After, all, it takes no more time to mark an "x" on the ballot than it does to push a lever. But they would save a lot of time on the tallying of; the votes.
