TODAY'S BI ii L E VERSE TODAY'S ^1 Editorial Page of The Mountaineer ?Ml k. U>v mv ?>n?-l Kinxs IMS. * """ -'""'.I ? _ ?<? County In High Bracket The Transylvania Times in Brevard akes note of the recent report which is of more than just passing interest to this ana. The mountain counties of North Carolina ai^e not recognized as being rich counties, but instead,?the middle section of the state is referred to as the "rich and prosperous Piedmont." Howpver, the current issue of Facts of North Carolina shows that Haywood i." first in aveange weekly wage per "covered" en ployee, and Transylvania is second amo g the 100 counties of the Tar Heel state. Our neighboring county has a weekly wage of $73,70 per employee, while we have $64.44, Buncombe, another of our WNO neighbors, is in the first nine with $56.02. The Asheville Citizen also takes editorial note of this unbelievable situation and has this to say: "The mountain region, so rarely a leader in "economic rankings, shows up well this time. Earlier figures are not at hand, but we are confident that a comparison would offer striking evidence of progress. " 'Covered* employment merely means regujar employment to which insurance bene fits may apply. Therefore it is an index of economic stability. North Carolinians in 1953 earned more than $2 billion in wages. Bun combe's share of this, in a figure covering only a |>ortion of the working force, was $66,595,175 ? no figure, certainly, which would incite to po* mouth talk." Freedom Of Choice A New York bank recently ran an un usual kind of magazine advertisement. The text paid high tribute to another enterprise, retailing, and said nothing at all about bank ing. Here are some excerpts from it: "Today's I>opuJSr retail merchant, with an alert eye to competition, applies experience, judgment and imagination to the selection and de velopment of more and more quality mer chandise. He presents it in attractive dis plays and timely promotions. He watches trends in taste. He studies changing patterns in living ... "With an unlimited variety of goods from many lands placed before them, thanks to the individual initiative of our naflon's re tailers, the American people enjoy a free dom,of chuiee unmatched throughout .the world." To every retailer, as to the manufacturers and others who supply him, the desires and demands of consumers are the all-important * factors of business life. This is true in a huge city such as New York?and it is true in thousands of middle-sized and small com munities in every section of the land. No Secrets J. C. Penny, founder of the great chain system which bears his name, has described the secret of successful jvtaihng. That sec ret, he said, "Is that thrrj are no secrets. There are people who, when the principles of business success are explained to them, d?> not find the answer sufficiently intellectual to be satisfying. In the xvtailing the formula happens to be a basic liking for human be ings, plus integrity, plus industry, plus . v . the ability to see the other fellow's point of view," That formula applies to any human endeavor. Legislature Bourn'/ To Hear About Changes Iff Election Laws The recent cases in this part of the state in which charges ha.ve been made that elec tion laws have l>eeij violated, will no doubt have a direct bearing on some future chang es in the law. The surprising feature about the alleged infraction of the laws, is the quoted prices for absentee votus. We di<] not realize that some sections "oould afford" such inflated prices as were being quoted in the press re ports. Some price* ranged as high as ,$85 for a pair of votes, while .$12 and $1 1 seemed to be expected in some circles. The Asheville Times predicts that the vote fraud cases will be a challenge to the North Carolina law, and went on to say editorially: "While we appreciate the wholesome in terest being shown in our elections by Fed eral officials and by the congressional com mittee, we wish our State had been able to clean its own bouse. I5ut the fact that the Federal courts have acted first offers no excuse for State courts to fail to do their full i duty. "Then, when our-next General Assembly meets it should do its full dutv bv repealing the N. C. civilian absentee ballot law. T.et's face it and admit it?North Carolina can no | longer trust itself with" the civilian absentee ballot. ??? "No countv in this State, and none of its courts, can safely condone the violation of its election safeguards, whatever the par tisan or political implications." A rfHi/iuliiiixtl Tritniic The total acreage of North Carolina farms and the number of persons living on the farms declined.slightly during 1958. accord ing to the annual farm census released yes terday by the State Crop'Reporting Service. Land actually harvested showed a slight in crease. however. Farm population taken as of January 1 each year, showed 1.166,925 in 1952 and 1.126,798 in 195.",. The census showed that farms in the State contained 21.154.892 acres last year, com pared with 21,228.058 the vear before. Land harvested amounted to 6.160,112 acres, com pared with 6,158,081 in 1952. Improved pasture land rose to 955.005 acres last year against 877.618 the previous, year. All other pastures showgd an increase, too. from 1.5^6.578 acres to 1,524,775. There was a small decline in idle cropland frum 1.054.641 acres to 1.050,111. There was a bigger drop in acreage in woods, waste, cutover, homesites, and non-farm useage, from 11.851.120 to 11.186.889 acres. The census showed that Tar Heel farmers used 1,484.060 tons of fertilizer last vear. com oared with 1.477.225 tons in 1952. Thev had 515 865 cows for milk, atrainst 512.151? and 250.429 beef animals, a rise from 211. 940. The number of bens and pullets dropped from 7.562.386 t? 7.192,281.
