Subscription Price $1.0* Per Year In Advmnce Xntsred as Second Class Matter Jan wry 19, 1923, at the Postoffice at Wallace, North Carolina, under the jhet of March 3, 1879. Thursday, May 6, 1935 ---SET-- ~~ Some people are ready to do anything to anybody if there is a profit in it. * * * Russio claims 3,000 airplanes and 3,000 tanks; all built to preserve peace. * * * Most business systems work when somebody works but none of them will operate a busi niss. * * * Every individual has his or her ideas but most of us never fry to check them up closely to be sure that they are just. • * * A parasite, according to the Boston Transcript, is a man who makes the government give him gas so he can drive down to get relief. We won’t say that war is certain but we will say that un less there is some fighting the nations have a lot of useless equipment on their hands. • * * Big business, it seems, is against anything that might cut down profits; if any pro posal is doubtful, the big boys yell bloody murder and some times get away with it. • * ■ * You can’t expect an officer ef a corporation drawing $100, 000 a year and living 500 miles away to be much interested in the welfare of the people work ing for his organization. • * * We urge our readers to buy from advertising merchants who sell advertised products. If they were not good there wouldn’t be any use to spend money telling you about them. WHAT ABOUT IT? The friends of peace in our county, and they are legion, might do some intelligent stu dying of the world situation and less talking about keeping out of war. They should realize to begin that competent and experienc ed observers are of the opinion that war cannot be avoided in Europe unless some economic concessions are made to Ger many and Italy, and they might as well include Japan in their calculations. Do any of our pacifists in this country assume responsi bility for a live and let live policy among the nations of the earth? Do our nationalists, who prate about foreign en tanglements and boast our iso lationist philosophy know the answer to the charge of Mr. Frank Simonds, who intimates that our tariff, our war debt and the scuttling of the Lon don economic conference have done more to bring about an other war than anything else? HERE’S A SCOOP Score thi3 newspaper with a scoop! This is probably the first swat-the-fly editorial that you have read in 1935. Well, it 'isn’t too early to begin the campaign to destroy the carriers of typhoid. Get your swatter and get busy. Score a scoop yourself by tak ing this offensive, see that your premises contain no place to harbor flies and that none are allowed to linger in your home. It is much wiser to spend a few dollars on iscreen and health preventive measures than to pay for medicine and professional services. BOOK CLUBS This newspaper suggests the formation of reading clubs in the count r y. Let five or ten people in any com munity get together for this purpose and each buy a book. By passing these around the membership at reg ular intervals each purchaser will secure a bargain value in leading for the money expend ed. Or perhaps, each member would contribute a certain , alum, say $2.00, which would, be pooled at intervals for the purchase of a selected group of books. These should include various types in order that there may be variety and a number equal to the members of the pool. BRINGS COMPLICATIONS Agricultural products in this country, for the major part are being curtailed in order to pre vent over production. Farm ers now on the land can pro duce so much that the market is over-supplied and prices tumbled to disastrous levels. Vet, it is planned to “rehabili tate” many city-dwellers by es tablishing them on small farms. This policy must be careful ly managed. As recently said by Chester A. Davis, “If socie ty is going to make the agri cultural land the shock absorb er for refugees of industry, then it must give bond to those now engaged in agriculture, together with the additional numbers to undertake it, so that they will be able to oper ate on levels enjoyed by other social classes.” He spoke for the agricultural arm of the Federal Government. SUCCESS, ENVY AND MONEY One of the strangest phen omena of human nature is the trait that impels some people to envy a successful person. We have seen evidences of this spirit in our town and else where. It would seem that mankind would respect a man who suc ceeds in the tasks he under takes because, as a rule, it re quires hard work and energy and other good qualities to be successful. That less fortun ate people like to see failure follow triumph and watch with greedy eyes the apparent downfall of a high standard is, it seems, one of the unfavor able commentaries on present day life. While we deplore this exist ing antipathy to well-to-da and successful people we real ize that it has is foundations in the current, popular belief that much success is ill-gotten and rests upon laurels unfair ly won. The judgment of the average man and woman does not rest entirely upon tl\e height of the bank balance but also takes into conlideration the verdict of society upon the methods of the man who has accumulated a competence. We would not have the young people of this county who read this to believe that the dollars amassed are the symbol of' success. While very often a fickle popular regard is based upon the size of a man’s bank balance there are evidences of respect and attitudes of hon or that come to men only through lives of service .to oth ers. These are not to be won by the dollar-miser with all his bags of wealth. SHIPMAN REPORTS WORK LEGISLATURE PAST WEEK (Continued from Page One) ways from which they received because the condition of many city streets as so had that it is difficult for heavily loaded trucks to negotiate them. It is also a bad advertisement for a town to have its streets ad vertised to the world as being sorrier than the State high ways. * * * Governor Ehringhaus is be ing praised for having secured a major portion of his recom mendations. He did get the major portion of them, but he beat a strategic retreat on some of the more important, such as the child labor amend ment, with the result that it was defeated. The same was true with reference to absen tee ballots, but he is happy enough over the accomplish ment, even if the Legislature did leave him with a mess on his hands in the way of hodge podge appropriation legisla tion, legalizing wines with pro viding any funds, this law be ing passed in this form large ly to prevent it having to be put on three separate readings ! in each house. The Governor kept himself in the background until the last minute and then his appearance was ineffective as the Legislature was in a hurry to go home, and left the liquor laws in a mess, no revenue, not even the tax from gasoline consumed, as did the State highway fund. The Legislature had a heart, and provided a million dollars for the upkeep of municipal Things That Bum Me Up!-by A. 8. Chapin OH OCAA-, OHWR, M090W wen.

This was necessary The Legislature did the ac customed thing when it sub mitted five amendments to the State Constitution. All Legis latures do something of the sort. An old friend appeared in the amendment to permit classification of property for taxation purposes. Another was the amendment to permit State income taxes as high as 10 per cent. Still another is one to permit an increase in the number of Supreme Court judges. A new one would per mit the Legislature to exempt homesteads from taxation up to $1,000. # * * While the Legislature was generally averse to any changes, it made an exception ill, the case of substitution of lethal gas for the electric chair. This was largely a com pliment to a Mitchel county Republican, Dr. C. A. Peter son, but also due in part to the fact that the State had to pro vide another chair, and it is [cheaper to build a death house for lethal gas than an electric chair, particularly since the State now executes two and three at a time, in many in stances. At any rate, there-4s the new method, North Caro lina taking its place as the first State in the East to en act such a law. Probably the Legislature will be longest remembered in history for having made more liberal provisions for the schools. This was imperative, for the teachers were desert ing the schools like rats de sert a sinking ship. Their re serve capital gone, teachers could not live on the salaries being paid, if they maintained the standard of living that the patrons demanded. The same went for other State employees so the Legislatre boosted sal aries some, and made other in creases in appropriations, the total for the next biennum be ing $64,681,000 as compared with the $49,839,000 provided by the last Legislature. That is quite an increase, and is probably the biggest achieve ment of the Legislature. * * * The Legislature of 1936 was unique in the fact that it pro duced one definite announce ment for Governor. Lieut Gov. emor “Sandy” Graham broke a precedent by announcing his candidacy to the State Senate. He had an eye out for the pub licity. He got ten times as much notice that way than he could have gotten any other way. He stole the show, as the newspaper boys say, for the announcement was made at a “love feast,” when presents are given attaches of the Leg islature. It made all the head lines in the papers the next morning and put “Sandy” in the running in a big way. His supporters are jubilant over the fact that “Farmer Bob” is not running. They profess not to be worried about Clyde Ho ey. * * * “Sandy” Graham is franklj GOLDEN GLEAMS Who ran to help me when I fell. And would some pretty story tell, Or kiss the place to make it well? My Mother. —Ann Taylor. At the cross her station keeping Stood the mournful moth er weeping, Where He hung, the dy ing Lord. —Anon. Stabat Mater. In the Heavens above, The angels whispering to one another, Can find, among their burnin terms of love, None so devotional as that of “mother.” Womanliness means only motherhood; All love begins and ends there, roams enough, But, having run the cir cle, rests at home. —Robert Browning. trying a Bob Reynolds. It will never be known whether or not it was Bob Reynolds’ cham pionship of the repeal of the eighteenth amendment or the anger of the voters towards Cameron Morrison that brought about his election, but there is no doubt that “Sandy” Graham has groomed himself as the *“Wet” candidate in the next campaign. HOEY FORMALLY ENTERS GUBERNATORIAL RACE (Continued from Fage 1) Donald of Winston-Salem, and Dr. J. T. Burrus, of High 1 P!oint, are talking about en tering the race. But at this ! time, more than a year before the primary, Hoey and Graham are undoubtedly the favorites. Mr. Hoey has for more than two decades been one of the most colorful figures in the public life of North Carolina. Bora in Shelby, N. C., on De cember 11, 1877, the son of a Confederate army officer, Capt. S. A. and Mrs. Charlie Roark Hoey, his life story reads very 'much like a chapter out of real life. I The average North Carolin ian not familiar with the inti 'mate details of the Shelby | man’s early life would hardly realize that he has not atten 1 ' ed school since the age of 18 'years, except for a short law course in the University of North Carolina summer school. Yet his self-education, started in boyhood when it became ne cessary to leave school in or der to earn his livelihood, has been so thorough that for years he has been ranked as one of the state’s leading at* torneys and one of the South’s most outstanding orators. He worked on a farm, while not attending school, until the age of 12 and then entered a a printing office and began ■ work as “the shop devil” to. learn the trade. At the age of 17 he purchased, on credit, the newspaper for which he worked and became publisher and editor thereof. When on ly 20 years of age he was elect ed to the State Legislature, serving two terms in the house and one in the State Senate. He studied law, in the mean time, at night at home and dur ing the rare few hours of leis ure at the printing office, where he was still one of the print ers as well as owner and edi tor. Following a brief study of law one summer at Carolina, he obtained his law license, when just 21 years of age, and began the practice of law in connection with his newspaper work. In 1908, after 14 years as “devil”, printer and editor lawyer he disposed of his newspaper interests and has since devoted his full time to the practice of law. Few men have participated in more political campaigns for the Democratic party and,, during the last twenty years,! ho has spoken in practically' all of the 100 counties in North Carolina. Mr. Hoey’s persua sive oratorical talent has been drafted, or rather volunteered, for every state and national campaign of any importance j since 1910. Despite his work for the party and its candi dates, in which he has remain ed consistently DemqcratVc through victory and defeat, the! widely known Shelby attorney! has held only one elective of-, fice, and that for a very short period, since his early experi ence in the General Assembly. He was appointed Assistant! District Attorney of the Unit ed States District Court, West-, era North Carolina District, in 1913, and served in that capa-, city until 1919, wTien he was elected to- Congress from the old Ninth, now the Tenth, Dis trict, but declined to seek re election.
