Ramblin’ Bill Gets Ready
To See A “Carolina Moon”
Mexican Labor And Hoovercrats
Forcing Whites Out Of Arizona.
Everybody Drinking.
Editor of The Star:
It has been more than a year
since I saw a copy of the Star or
have had any news from North
Carolina, except press dispatches,
etc., and I am truly homesick for a
little North Carolina color.
Since Arizona has gone Republi
can, I have decided it is about time
for me to return to North Carolina,
in fact, Republicans are thicker out
here than mosquitos in Florida. With
the exception of a few Mississip
pians, Texans, and four North Car
olinians, including myself they are
all Republicans or Hoover Demo
frats here now and more are com
ing in from the East, and a white
nan does not have much chance
»ny more at all.
Since the last Revolution in Mex
co, there is little excitement on the
border and the last Revolution was
oot much of a success as far as the
lighting was concerned. Both sides
Were afraid of each other and
when one would get close enough to
open fire the other side would run,
tnd when the rebels got close after
Ihe Federals ,the U. S. stepped in
vnd opened the gates and they all
teme over here where Uncle Sam
furnished the Commissary, and af
ter partaking a few days of this
hospitality, you could not persuade
them to do any more fighting and
the revolution was over.
It has gotten so lately that an
American cannot make a living on
the border. It seems the industries
would rather employ Mexican labor,
It being cheaper than white labor,
and they allow them to live in old
Mexico and work in the U. S. A.,
and an American cannot compete
with them, the Mexican diet con
sisting chiefly of beans and Chili,
and the Americans’ demanding
something more staple.
I am making plans to get back
Into a Democratic country where
the population is 100 per cent Am
erican, or nearly so. Many other
southern people are doing the same.
They say they would rather die with
tuberculosis in a white man's
country than to slowly starve to
death in a Chili land.
I am thinking of starting out
pretty soon with a small wagon pull
ed by two burros. By starting before
Christmas, I can reach North Caro
lina in two years or less.
I wonder if anyone in N. C.
wants a half-grown Bob Cat (male)
or a full grown mountain lion. The
Bob Cat is about the size of a large
house cat now, and the lion "* will
weigh about ninety pounds. They
are both gentle, having been caught
when they were kittens.
I understand that they have pro
hibition in North Carolina. Out here
everybody drinks when they want
it. If they get tired of their home
brew and mountain dew, they go
over to Mexico and partake of that
poison over there. Its nothing un
usual to smell whiskey on the
breath of a prohibition officer in
Arizona. However, they do make
some pinches occasionally, but it is
only the little fellows who are cut
ting in on the trade of the big boot
leggers. They seldom ever catch a
big one and if they do, he gets out
of it. The prohibition law is a joke
in Arizona, Texas and New Mexico.
One can buy booze any and every
where and a fairly good grade of it
too. The price is $1.50 per pint to
$4.00 per pint depending on grade
and demand, etc. Everybody mak
es home brew beer almost. Those
that do not make it themselves
throw in with their neighbor and he
makes it.
One minister who lives here can
be seen almost any day driving
across the border where he gets his
glass of beer. Nearly everybody
drinks in Arizona and a party with
out strong drink of some kind is a
flop.
Under separate cover I am sending
you a small oil painting that was
painted by my brother-in-law,
“Mickey DonrVoe” who learned his
art in Germany while with the
army of occupation. He is a weld
er by trade and “dabbing" is just
one of his pastimes. Believe you will
like this scene—if not .give it to Dr.
Sam Schenck at Lawndale and he
will perhaps recognize it.
With best wishes to The Star and
its many readers. I am.
Sincerely,
"RAMBLIN' BILL"

The Whale Killer.
From The Los Angeles Times.
Now thoughtful scientists -re
providing electric harpoons for our
whales. The barbed shaft is shot
into the massive creature from s
considerable distance and then a
powerful electric current is sent
through the connecting cord or wire.
The vast marine mammal is elec
trocuted before he knows what has
happened and the sea is spared a
powerful lashing from the tail of
an agonized prisoner. This is in
keeping with advanced ideas of ef
ficiency in all things—even in the
snaring of our blubber. But too
much such efficiency may soon
leave us no blubber to snare.

ELECTRIC MARVELS
JUST NOW STARTING
Ford Dreaming Dream* Of The
Fill ure Babson And Edison See
Miracles Ahead.
Henry Ford has been dreaming
some more dreams; but now it Is
about electricity instead of automo
biles. In fact Mr. Ford has had a
great deal to say recently about elec
tric power. It is possible that his in
timate association with Mr. Edison
has had its effect.
But Mr. Ford is looking far <nto
the future of electric power and its
influence upon civilization.
“Electricity will play a much larg
er part in the home of the future
than It now does,” said Mr. Ford
recently. "And I am speaking of the
home of the family of ordinary cir
cumstances.”
“Heat will be derived from elec
tricity,” Mr. Ford said. “All of the
mechanical operations about the
home—cleaning, washing, cooking
etc—will be done by electricity, as
many now are, but the present pro
cesses will be improved, refined,
cheapened.
“The home of the future will have
no cooking inside. Individual cook-_
houses and kitchens will disappear.
There will be community cunnary
centers, where every variety of food
desired, will be scientifically cooked
and delivered to homes much more
cheaply than individual cooking can
do it and geenrally much better.
"Power, light and heat for these
community centers will be centrally
developed or taken off the wires
from dydraulis, gas, oil or coal power
plants at a cost much below the
combined cost of these elements and
the kitchen equipment of homes,"
Mr. Ford declared.
"Where inventive genius turns its
light into every nook and corner,
wonders are bound to happen. They
are happening already. Look what
electricity has done. We get heat
and cold, light and music, telephone
communication and cooking, all from
one discovery. You see, then, the
possibilities.”
Indeed the possibilities are great
Just a few years ago the telephone
was a marvel; now the rauio is
commonplace; what will * ^morrow
bring forth?”
Recently a newspaper reporter at
tended some demonstrations in elec
I trie and telephone development,
i Summed up here is what the re
i ported recorded:
“Heard a picture oi rresurem
Herbert Hoover.
Heard a speechless man “speik.”
Saw a deal man “hear.”
Heard the power of 500,000 times
50 strong-lunged men’s voices about
the words of one man.
Heard his muscles move, with a
sound like thunder.
Telephoned his photograph.
Learned it is possible to gaze at a
scene miles distant.
Heard a heart “missing.”
Heard speech “scrambled” as a
cook scrables eggs.
Heard the top third, bottom and
center third of a strain of music.
Danced to "upside down” music,
and heard speech “upside down”
and “right side up” at the same
time.
Saw a bar of steel float in the
air.
Was looked over by an electric
eye.
Saw and heard speech “take a
rest” on the route from lip to ear.
Talked into a telephone and then
walked over to the other end of the
line and listened to his own words
four seconds after speaking them.
He heard the music continue aft
er a phonograph record had stopped
flaying.
Today the man who loves his ease
and comfort has but to press a but
ton on cold winter mornings to close
the windows of his bedroom; the
surgeon of today may delve into
the vitals of his patient with an

State’s Cotton And
H. S. Students Are
About Same Number
Approximately 875.000 High School
Students Enter High School In
North Carolina.
• Special to The Star t
Raleigh. Sept. 4.—Approximately
875,000 children will enroll In the
public elementary and high schools
of the state during 1929-30, accord
ing to an estimate made in the of
fice of the state superintendent of
public instruction based on the in
the dread knife. What will tomorrow
bring forth?
Homes are heated even now with
the throwing of a switch and in
the summertime the same homes are
cooled to an even temperature by
throwing the same switch. In fact,
developments have so far progressed
that it is predicted the ideal resi
dence of the future will be window
less and that the air which is
breathed within will be cleaned and
cooled or heated with scientific ex
actness.
What will tomorrow bring forth?
Roger W. Babaon, noted economist
visualizes overhead bridges at cor
ners for pedestrian traffic, two
storied slldewalks, and the manu
facture of clothing by something like
the printing press which will take
the cloths at one end and at the
other turn out suits or dresses
pressed and boxed for Instant de
livery, with shoes made from some
entirely new product, standardized
houses that will be fabricated like
automobiles, and every home hav
ing a hangar on the roof when the
helicopter plan is perfected.
Thomas A. Edison declares that
only small beginnings have been
made in the use of electric power.
If what the world has already seen
in the result of only "small begin
nings’’ what will be the accomplish
ments of science and invention
when the world really begins to un
derstand and use this greatest of
energies?
crease of total school enrollment!
for preceding years.
Figures for preceding school year!
Indicate that there will be approxi
mately 605,000 white children and
270 negro children, who will either
begin or continue tlieir education at
the state's public schools. It Is esti
mated that more than 100,000 of
these children will make their ap
pearance at the schoolhouse door to
get their first Insight Into the mean
tng of public education.
It Is further estimated that of the
total public school enrollment of
805.000 during 1929-30 approximately
120.000 will be In the high school
grades, 105,000 white children and
approximately 15,000 negro children.
Last year, 1928-30, there were 96.
739 white boys and girls and 13,236
negro children, a total of 109,975,
enrolled In the public high schools.
The estimate for 1929-30, therefore,
Is based on the supposition that
there will be an Increase of about
11,444 In high school. Since 12,145 of
the 109.975 high school students
graduated this past year, then there
will be nearly 25.000 boys and girls
who will enter high school for the
first time.
According to the educational sta
tistics, the enrollment In the ele
mentary grades will be approximate
ly 500,000, or Identical with the past
few years, since the enrollment ha
high school will practically absorb
the Increase in total school enroll'*
ment.
