THE NEW£MOUBNAL
Poole’s Medley
BY D. SCOTT POOLE
"We believe our form of govern-
ment is the best known to hum
anity, for our government has done
more for humanity than any oth
er coimtry. We call it a democracy.
All Americans, that is, true
Americans, boast of what their
country has done. That is why we
love it.
November 11th was Armistice
Day. Thirtyjone years ago, after
those Americans had broken the
Hindenberg Line, the Germans
asked for a negotiation of peace
terms.
The United States has acted
the Big Brother to almost all the
countries of the world. Showing
brotherly love is Christianity.
In the early days when the op
pressed peoples of the world found
refuge in the New World, they
promised to allow everybody to
worship God as they so desired.
Communism is something new
in America, tout as an organiza
tion it has grown fast and is a
real threat to, both Christianity
and democracy.
Our attitude should be, as the
Lord will, so should our wills be.
We know the Lord wiUs no harm
to ^ny, imess they bring judg
ment upon themselves through
selfish desires. ,
If he who makes two blades of
grass grow where one grew be
fore is a benefactor, he should
try to get in on cockleburrs.
If there is any good in Bermu
da grass, nut grass or cockle-
burrs, we are the wealthiest folks
in America, or equally as rich as
any. If anything eats either we
have not caught them at it. How
ever, the Highway Commission
finds use for Bermuda grass to
stop washouts on the highways.
The men who stop washes with
Bermuda grass sould be made to
dig up all there is in Georgia and
South Carolina.
Either a dog or a cat knows
how to be friends with those who
are kind to them. In that they are
ahead of some people.
The settlers of the west think
they are laoger and superior, and
they may be better in some ways.
However, they deserve no credit.
The best educated person is he
who makes the fewest mistakes,
and to know, and to know that
you know is the answer to who
knows.
The difference between inter
est and discount is, you pay $6
discount on $100 and get $94. In
case you pay interest, you get
$100 a year and pay $106.
It was found that notes given
in payment for debts before the
adoption of the North Carolina
constitution in 1868 did not de
bar the collection of debts made
before or during the Civil War.
Against such debts there was no
statute of limitation, it seemed,
and caused distress to many.

The Germans and Allies had
fought back and forth three times
before the Americans entered the
war. The United States was not
prepared to enter the conflict, but
they crossed the Atlantic in the
spring and really entered into
battle where the Germans had
driven the Allies to within sight
of the English Channel.
Some of the returned American
soldiers told their rtelatives that
the French told them as they were
going in, “Oh, you have come too
late.” But they went into the
fight and stayed there, fought
and died, and held their ^ound
imtil the Germans withdrew from
the battlefield.
I hate war but the. Americans
have proven themselves the best
warriors in the world. They have
no equals.
I have mentioned why Europe
has not come back since the war,
and the reason is their countries
are ruined by bombing. The fer
tile soils have been stirred into
the earth out of reach of grow
ing crops.
The first world war was bad
enough, but If possible, the second
was worse, and it cost more. The
second World War cost one tril
lion and one and two-fifths bil
lion dollars.
