A Tough Way to Begin
The Season
Once again “King Football”
is ready to take over top spot
in the sports world, and has
been the custom for the past
few years. Owen High’s War
horses will lock horns with a
big and tough Lee Edwards
team over in Asheville at
Memorial Stadium Friday
night, September 9.
To start the season against
a team of such caliber as Lee
Edwards is a real test for the
Warhorses.
Since Lee Edwards was
beaten bv Canton last week
they will be fired-up and rough
to handle, but from the re
ports 1 have heard Owen
should let them know that
they have been in a ball game.
There’s no doubt about it,
Lee Edwards is far superior
in reserve strength but this
Owen team has the burning
desire to win and that can win
a lot of games despite reserve
strength or what have you.
The coaching staff which is
headed by Howard Barnwell is
certainly more than capable
of turning out a winning com
bination and with a few
breaks there’s no reason why
this year’s team shouldn't be
just that.
We sincerely hope the foot
ball fans of the Swannanoa
Valley will support the Owen
High team this year as they
have in the past. Why not
go over to Memorial Stadium
Friday night and whoop-it-up

> Christmas in September
Last Friday morning we
• were listening to the radio
i (WBMT of course) while trv
> ing to thing of someway to
; cool-off on that hot and humid
■ morning, when of all things
the Breakfast club comes on
; with a Christmas show with
■ Jingle Bells yet. It so hap
■ pened that they were doing a
Christmas program which
i would be heard by the men
; and women in the armed for
i ces on Christmas morning.
After listening to this for
i a while the heat seemed to dis
; sipate and I even caught my
. self singing Christmas carols
, along with Don McNeil and
■ company. Hope none of my
; neighbors heard me.
; We got a big kick out of
i Aunt Fanny (alias Fran Alli
■ son) who was telling McNeil
. about people who led dual
. lives. She said some folks
. sowed wild oats all week long
. and then went to church on
. Sunday and hoped for a crop
, failure. As funny as this
, sounded at the time, I hap
, pened to think that this was
true all too often.
. It Was a Holiday,
t So We Took One!
, Since most of this column
, is prepared and written on

of Labor Day.
Most everyone took a holi
day so we thought we would
do the same. Maybe next
week this space will resemble
a column.

WRITTEN LEASES
Are leases of real property
required to be in writing ?
Leases and contracts for
leasing land for the purpose
of digging for gold or other
minerals of whatever dura
tion are required to be in
writing under the statutes of
North Carolina.
All other leases and con
tracts for leasing land “ex
ceeding in duration three years
from the making thereof”
must be in writing in North
Carolina. An oral lease, for
example, executed today for
a period not in excess of three
years would be valid.
Jones orally agrees during
October, 1957, to lease his
house to Smith for three years
beginning- January 1, 1958. Is
the lease valid?
No. Smith does not have
a legal right to enter and oc
cupy the house on January 1,
1958. The lease is for a per
iod “exceeding in duration
three years from the making
thereof.” The computation
is made from the time of the
making of the agreement to
lease, and not from the time
of its going into effect.
If the lessee, Smith, enters
the house and occupies it un
der the oral lease, he may be
compelled to pay to the les
sor, Jones, a reasonable com
pensation for the use and oc
cupation of the premises. The
agreed rental under the oral
lease will be received in evi
dence as the value of the use
and occupation.
Where one goes into pos
session of land under an oral
lease “exceeding in duration
three years from the making
thereof,” his tenancy at the
inception is a tenancy at will.

It may be terminated im
mediately by the lessor mak
ing demand for possession or
by the lessee relinquishing
possession and informing the
lessor that he is doing such.
An oral lease for a period
in excess of three years fre
quently evolves into a lease
from period to period. This
usually arises where the les
see is in possession and he
pays rent which is accepted
by his lessor on a monthly
basis. In such a case, it is a
lease from month to month.
If the rent is paid and ac
cepted on an annual basis, it
is a lease from year to year.
Such a lease may be termi
nated by either party giving
to the other the statutory no
tice to quit.
Black leases a building to
White for a period of ten
years. The written lease is
signed by White, but not by
Black. Is the lease valid?
The lease is binding upon
White but not upon Black.
Both parties must assent to
the terms of the agreement,
but only the party to be sued
need sign the writing. In
other words, Black can en
force the written contract
against White, but White can
not enforce it against Black
Black may ,if he chooses, re
move White from the prem
ises before the expiration oi
ten years.
May a lease required by law
to be in writing be signed bj
an agent?
Yes. The written lease or
contract to lease may be
signed by an agent on behali
of either the lessor or the
lessee.
Since leases are not re
quired to be under seal, the
authority of the agent raaj
be orally conferred.

Electric
Revolution
On The Farm
There’s a revolution afoot
down on the farm, and it’s
sparked by electricity.
Kilowatts have replaced
muscle power to boost produc
tion, increase efficiency and
cut costs in the farmer’s per
ennial price-cost battle.
Electricity lights, lifts,
grinds, heats, pumps, cools
and cooks for the farmer and
his family, and does it more
economically than ever before.
Largely responsible for this
change on the rural scene are
the investor-owned electric
’ companies who have financed
and built generating capacity,
basic element of farm elec
1 trification, and the manufac
' turers who research and de
1 velop modern electric farm
j equipment.
W. S. Holcombe, manager
1 for Carolina Power & Light
' Company, today explained
^ CP&L’s role in the farm econ
omy.
“CP&I, began building rural
lines almost from the day it
’ was founded in 1908,“ he said.
“It has continued to expand
rural facilities where the need
1 and desire for electricity ex
1 isted. Since 1950 alone we
have erected 6,000 miles of
r rural line. Today we have
3 more than 20,000 miles of
f rural lines in the Carolinas.”
3 CP&L’s 148,374 rural cus
tomers consume more than
. twice the amount of electrici
> ty they used 10 years ago.
I This and other growing power
demands have prompted a
- CP&L plant expansion pro
I gram of some $254,000,000
since World War II.

WHY
SHOULD A
BUSINESSMAN
BE TAXED
\ TO
SUPPORT
GOVERNMENT
COMPETITION
AGAINST
HIMSELF?
Some strange paradoxes crop tip, at times,
in the American scene.
We are scrupulous, as a nation, to safe
guard the rights of the individual in court
... his right to worship without interference
. . . his right to speak freely and openly on
any issue.
We have federal laws and regulations to
protect him against unfair competition in his
efforts to make a living . . . unfair competi
tion, that is, except that from, the federal
government itself.
Take, for example, the matter of the gov
ernment’s producing and selling electric
power in the open market. Because federal
power systems pay no federal income taxes,
and little or no taxes to state and local gov
ernments, they can undersell the independ
ent electric companies which do produce
taxes. In fact, the very taxes provided by the
independent electric companies and their
customers are used in part to help finance
this unfair competition.
Now the proponents of federal “public
power” are pressing for billions more to
build additional federal power plants, al
though the independent electric companies
are ready and able to supply all the power
the nation can conceivably need. And this
o?i top of more than $5,000,000,000 of tax
payers’ money already spent on such gov
ernment installations.
How can this go on? Simply because the
public doesn’t know about it.
