WEDDING IS HALTED
BY NOSEY OFFICERS
Paul Smith and his girl friend
from Winston-Salem came to
Yadkinville Christmas day to get
married. However they made a fa
tal mistake the first move they
made. Stopping in front of the
court house they asked a deputy
sheriff where the register of deeds
was.
The deputy, noting the driver's
condition, told him he didn't need
a register of deeds at the moment
and he was escorted to the Yadkin
cooler, along with another man
in the party, Paul Welborn. The
two women were not molested but
the planned wedding was off,
temporarily at least, until Sunday.
The girl came back for him Sun
day and said she would marry
him the minute he was released,
but they did not marry in Yadkin.
Smith gave bond for his ap
pearance at February term of
court on a drunk driving charge,
while Welborn paid the costs, for
his jubilee.
Naughty officers who will spoil
a Christmas wedding like that—
and it was such a pretty girl.

As we close the eventful year of
1937 and look to 1938, it seems
proper to cite that political events
as recorded in 1837—a hundred
years ago—bear a certain similar
ity to those of the year now end
ing. This is true despite the fact
that the tempo of living is now
faster and everyday happenings
are under more complex condi
tions.
Then we head, as now, in the
White House a President of the
people, adored and followed. Then
we had, as now, a Chief Executive
whose every effort was to improve
the status of the average man.
Then we had, as now, a head of
our government whose every am
bition and every move was ques
tioned by the groups representing
so-called'"big business." Then we
had, as now, a President whose
dreams of peace were termed by
a few as dreams of war. Then we
had, as now, in the White House
a man whose efforts to lift the
standards of the mass of citizens
were branded as designed to
change our very form of govern
ment.
What has happened in the
United States during the last hun
dred years, is living proof that the
critics of Andrew Jackson were
wrong, as are those who question
the motives and sincerity of

President Roosevelt today. The
latter has no more desire to de
stroy or weaken American insti
tutions than did Jackson.
The parallel in the careers of
the two men are most significant,
so much so that it has often been
mentioned in Congress. This holi
day season is a timely occasion to
mention it again.
On the floor of the Senate, a
noted Senator of a hundred years
ago said of Jackson: " —where is
there a chief magistrate of whom
so much evil has been predicted,
and from whom so much good has
come? Never has any man enter
ed upon the chief magistracy of
a country under such appalling
predictions of ruin and woe! Nev
er has any one been so pursued
with direful * prognostications!
Never has any one been so beset
and impeded by powerful combi
nation of political and moneyed
confederates!"
Keeping in mind that the above
words were uttered about Presi
dent Jackson a century ago, it can
be said that they could well be
used today in speaking of Presi
dent Roosevelt. Jackson was
charged with endangering the
public peace with foreign nations;
with destroying domestic proper
ty at home, with ruining indus
try, commerce and manufactur
ers; destroying the currency and
what not. A hundred years later
we find the same charges being
made against President Roosevelt.
Why? Because he dared to
champion the cause of the aver
age man and has continued to
