POOLE'S MEDLEY
(By D. Scott Poole)
By last Wednesday's papers we
learn that General Marshall favors
and recommends compulsory military
training. General Marshall is a great
man, but in this .he is wrong. Just
thi is the matter with both Ger
many and Japan. TJjey thought and
sought militaryism from g greed and
selfish point of view.
I object seriously "to allowing the
greatest foes to human peace and
happiness of all time to lay our pat
tern, for national guard organiza
tions will serve the same purpose
at much less cost, serve as a recrea
tional purpose and produce as ef
ficient soldiers as those trained in
military schools.
The trend of the human mind,
apart fromjhe Doctrine of Peace, is
the destruction ol human life and
peace and happiness. Trie coTifse
now apparent in human atiairs snows
everything except the "permanent
peace you have been reading about.
Say, neighbor, what kind of peace
do 70U think you can Inoculate In
the minds of men when you suspend
over his head by a tar string sud
den death and destruction?
I am glad peace has come. I de
sire peace above" all tings possiole,
but I would not advise that peace be
clothed in sandspur irritations and
insinuating annoyance, greed grab
bing device.
There is principal-destroying pow
er in legal liquor tax-raising to send
this country to hell in train-loading
numbers. At the moment this devil-invented
business is making its
greatest attack upon the womanhood
of the land. All the stories, adver
tising, the whole picture-screen of
this nation is one of debouchery,
virture-destroying anteroom ol Hades.
"I lie in my bed and sleep, for
Thou Lord maketh me to sleep inj
safety." This is true because my
neighbors have no desire to slay
me, for they have no reason to think
that I have designs on their lives or
property. In other words one can be
trained to hate or to love, to be
peaceable or destructive and every
one of Adam s descendants are
peacemakers or hate distributors.
Thoughts produce words, words pro- I
duce action, actions form habits. Cry-
stalized habits make crystalized
forms mature."
Wrong thoughts should be driven
from the mindi and corrections made.
To make the statement to the point:
All wrong should be destroyed In It
incipiency. It's more easily done
then.
In 1880 I helped a man in Moore
eounty kill hogs one cold December
morning. We had left the water
boiling in two or three big pots, and

Raleigh, Oct. 23: A record-breaking
flue-cured tobacco crop of 824,
325,000 pounds is forecast for North

The crop is expected to be 12
per cent larger than last year, 52
per cent larger than the 10-year

most 11,000,000 pounds, larger than
the previous record crop in 1939,
when there were no Government

Production in the Middle and Old

pounds 12 per cent more than was
grown in 1944, and the largest crop
ever produced in these belts.
Eastern North Carolina tobacco
(type 12) is estimated at 414,775,000

as was indicated in the September
report.

THE TRAVELERS, Hsrfoid
went up to his farm a half a mile
a;tf5yrto Eiil hogs he had fattened on
chufas, and they were still running in
the chufa patch, and that patch
was a small corner of a twelve acre
field.
The hogs should have been shut up
in a close pen the nlgW tFeTSfS, "Snf
the gentleman said it would be no
trouble to get them into the stables
on the edge of the chufa patch. All
right, and when we arrived Se got
some corn, and gooped awhile, but
those four fat hogs said, "no thank
you." We tried driving them
into close fonfinement, but they
liked their freedom as well as other
Americans. He said, then, we will
have to shoot them, 1 reckon.
I had a double-barrel gun loaded
with bucksTTol, andi we hesitated to
shoot a slow fat hog with buckloads,
but my boss went up to a dwelling
unoccupied and got his rifle which
had been left in the house, and loaded
it. walked leisurely flown on the out-
J side of the fence enclosing TKaT'tract
'.of land, took rest on the fence, took
deliberate aim and fired. I saw a
liTTTe dirt fly up near the hog's head,
and I think the hog saw It, too,
because'he arose, (he was lying down
resting when he was assaulted) so
he kicked up his heels as Tilgh as
a fat hog could kick, and trotted
off down where there had never been
any chufas.
The gentleman arose on the far
side of the fence, and saw that hog's
behavior, and also his heeTS, looked
at me and laughed. I thought it time
to slay some hogs, so I thundered
down with a charge of blue whistles,
and the shof was effective, so I
stuck and bled that swine, and soon
came in sieht of another porker, and
'shot him dead, stuck him, andi re
loaded my fowling piece. I found
the other two hogs, and played havoc
with their heads and I also bled
those. We hooked a horse he had
in the stable there by that chufa
patch, and hauled the nogs down to
his home by two o'clock in the after
noon. The women folks had kept
the hog tTres lsnrning, and by bed
time that night we had those hogs
salted down and we rested from
hog-killing.
About the middle of last week the
representatives of the Big Five na
tions, the United Stales, Russia,
England, France andi China, decided
to adjourn without a settlement of
questions arising since fighting stop
ped. But it seemed their governments
ordered them to stay on until agree
ment is reached.
Russia wants to assist In con
trol ing Japan, China claims to be
the oldest and wisest of the cations,
therefore, boss. I would not say that
the conference had acted wisely, had
those statements been 'agreed to,
China is old in everything, except
democracy an understanding of hu
man rights. The United States is
thonly country on earth which has
any experimental knowledge of that
subject and we are fresh.
Had you thought, friend, that our
Great Creator made man a free
moral agent, and after man through
transgression fell from ttie high and
holy estate in which he was created
lost all right of claim to life and
happiness, was offered redemption
from that lost estate with a take it
or leave it.
A Democracy is a country ruled
by "a majority of Its free citizens."
These citizens have never been in
perfect agreement, 'but changes, when
changes come by persuasive, peaceful
methods, and not be force.
Save Planting Seed
For '46 Cotton Crop
Good planting seed for the 1946
crop of cotton will be exceptionally
hard to get, because of bad weather
conditions existing this season.
This particularly applies to the
Coastal Plain counties of the state
where the cotton plant has made
rank growth and the crop has suf
what steps must be taken to obtain

bol's
J. A. Shanklin, Extension cotton
specialist at State College, believes
that cotton seed in the eastern part
of North Carolina will show very
low germination but that some of
the seed from the western areas may
be of good quality.
"Now is the time to determine
how much seed will be needed and
supplies of good planting seed.
"It is particularly important that
growers in the western part of the
cotton belt make every effort to
protect their cotton and not allow
it to suffer weather damage in the
field. Conditions are very spotted
but it is believed that ample sup
plies of good seed may be obtained,
if growers act promptly."
