We were never happier than When we rode a dogwood stick for a horse. Happiness is a con dltioD of mind that contemplates nothing beyond the present The people of Raeford shouk demand of the City Fathers that they rebuild the sidewalks ot the town. The looks of the town are ruined by galleys where side walks used to be. They haven’t chopped any ent ton in this section, not because it is not up well enough or large enough, but because they fear the cool weather may cause the young plants to die. There were five good men elected to the office of Justice o; the Peace, one In each township where there were no oue to serve in that capacity, and as yet not one of them has qualified.

J,,- •va'C: ; . - »lf Dia does net improve. Strikers tried to dynamite the Loray mill at Gastonia last Thursday night. Feeling runs high. Communists are striving to bring about an archy. We sympathize with people who are not getting a liv ing, still we would advise against iaw' violation and destruction of property. Congress convened Tuesday and a Farm Relief bill was in troduced Wednesday. Chair man Haugen of the agricultu ral committee has had a special cciumittee to submit the bill to President Hoover, and the bill introduced has the backing of the adininistratinn. The law provides a revolving fund of five hunired million million dol lars to prevent a surplus accu mulating of any commodity. This should keep prices al>ove cost of production, if anything can. This should remedy the folly of going back to normalcy just after the World War, and will enable the country to pay its war Inflated Indebtedness with out ruin to producers of crude products. The city authorities have de cided upon a primary election to nominate a mayor and a board of five town commissioners, and require all candidates to notify the City Clerk, and also to pub lish a notice in a paper of their candidacy- We are in the pub lishing business, but we question whether the candidates can be made to comply wdth this last requirement, A candidate dees not have to publish an announce ment to be a legal applicant for office. But a candidate must legally make known his desire or inteotiou. But suppose a man should run for mayor, have bis own tickets printed and have them at the poling place and should get more votes than any other candidate, be would be mayor of this town, wouldn’t he? But be would not be a good Democrat.

The strikers in the ptodmoot section have quieted down, eav- eral mills have ceased operatioha because of overproduction, tbay say, BO ali news items grow scarcer. We are glad to learn that Rae ford cotton mill is now ruaninit day and night, and that la good news to ali of us This iniU hae not run regularly for eevatal months. Four jurors were drawn to serve this week were excoeed because of sickness. They are Messrs. A. R Morris. J. H. Campbell, Lee Quick, M. A. Campbell. Nat Green, a noted alleged bootlegger, who has beeasuppljr' ing this country with bomse, for some years, has been arrested and put under bond by Moore countv officers.

The first crates of strawbrnriee down in the eastern part of the State sold for big money last week; a crate at one place brought $26 and another $19. That spoils things—makes peo ple foolish.
