Our tribute for unadulterated nerve and gn'l goes to
.as fellow Rigsby, city manager of Charlotte. In address
jig a gathering of Charlotte women last week he chose as
Ills subject “Mind Y’our Own Business.” Wonder if he’s
married ?
“Save a little" is Governor Gardner’s slogan for 1930
At first glance it may seem to some an insignificant phrase,
but follow it during the year and see what happens. The
person who spends a little less in 1930 than he mal es will
be far happier, the governor reasons, and for him the future
Will have met* in s'ore The :resent hard times talk is int

RYBURN FIGHTS I EG AG BATTLES IN
QUIET OF HIS STUDY ,
pEOPLE of this section who really know Boh Ryburn will
appreciate tribute paid him by the editor of The Lexington
Dispatch:
“Shelby lawyers last week elected Robert L. Ryburn as
president as of their bar association. The Cleveland Star
speaks of Mr. Ryburn as ‘one of the best known and most
highly respected barristers in this section,’’ and in doing so it
passes no merely hackneyed compliment. It might have gone
further and said that he is one of the ablest lawyers in his
part of the state. Outside of Cleveland and a few nearby
counties Bob Ryburn is virtually unknown, though what
Bchoolboy in North Carolina but has heard of Clyde Hoey,
Max Gardner and the Judges Webb, who brought the bar ot
Cleveland a bright renown
“Mr. Ryburn is the senior partner Vf the scintillating
Hoey. Publicly he perhaps never scintillated in his life, but
in the quiet of his study many a great legal battle has been
planned with careful detail, lie has been as perfect a com
plement for Hoey perhaps as few men have had.”
EHRINGHAUS COMPLIMENTED
rJ'HEI NEXT gubernatorial cam; aign is somewhat in the fu
ture and has been made more so by the increasing inter
est in the Simmohs-Bailcy race, yet the Democratic drive
for the governorship continues to attract attention. In
among the other items and opinions centering about the
2932 campaign race is an editorial in the Elizabeth City In
dependent, the Saunders paper, which pays a double-barrel
led tribute to J. C. B. Ehringhaus, who lives in Saunders’
town. The Independent in discussing the 1932 campaign
speaks highly of Ehringhaus and makes mention, too, of the
Ehringhaus personality— and those who have met him de
clare that he has the most winning personality of any man in
the State. Ordinarily the reader would i xpect a newspaper
to boost a home-town candidate, but one does not ex sect such
of Saunders paper, therefore the tribute is of double value.
When any man can live in the same town with \V. 0. Saun
ders, who writes and says just, what he sees and thinks re
gardless of who is hit, and lives in such a manner that Saun
ders can find nothing to say about him other than compli
mentary remarks, then, friends, there must be something tc
that mm *
MISS COBB SHOW S AN ERROR IN ONE
POLITICAL ARGUMENT.
gINCE TIIE Sirnmons-Bailey controversy got underway
there have been those, unusually Simmons supporters,
who charge that the people who support Bailey are none
other than those who were “Hyped,” to use their own ex
pression, on A1 Smith. That statement is certainly erroneous.
Of course there will be many Democrats who will not support
Simmons because he refused to support the Democratic
nominee. But to say that this class will be the only one op
posed to Simmons in his own party is to close the eyes and
the memory to the past.
Mr. Simmons has never been a great hero with all of
his party. Many a hot political argument centered about
Simmons years before Simth was thought of as the Demo
cratic nominee. Numerous elections prior to 10128 there
were many voters who ordinarily were classed as good Dem
ocrats, but were, also, known as reluctant Democrats when
the Simmons angle came up. \Ye do not know how many
Democrats will vote for J. W. Bailey, but we know that there
will be quite a number who were not ardent Smith support
ers, for in this state there are scores and scores of Democrats
who voted for the other fellow when Simmons had opposition
in the past and would have voted that way upon other oc
casions had the opportunity presented itself.
It’s going a bit too far, if party harmony is to be main
tained, to label every Bailey supporter as “a red-hot wet
Smith man.” Up at Morganton, where Miss Beatrice Cobb
edits The News-Herald, is a good example of what we are
trying to get over, and it’s in Miss Cobb herself. The Mor
ganton editress was a delegate to the Houston convention.
She was not^for Smith when she left home and she was op
posed to Smith at the convention. After the New Yorker
was nominated she was still of the opinion that another
•hould have been the standard-bearer, vet in the election she
supported the man nominated by the majority of her party.
One could hardly label her “a red-hot Smith supporter.” Yet
when Mr. Bailey announced for the Senate Miss Cobb im
mediately stated that she would support him, not primarily
because Simmons refused to abide the dictates of his party
convention but because she believed that 30 years, under
Democratic principles, is long enough for one man to hold
office. She stated that she could not see how a party could
longer be obligated to one who has lived upon it for three
decades. She further reasons it out that Mr. Simmons, in
one way of looking at it, is a democrat for “What he himself
can get out of it.” She recalls that Mr. Simmons left the
party but now “he has come back into the fold, after falling
away from his own preachments, and the only plausible ex
planation is that he is and has been a Democrat for what he
hinre’f can get out of it—a seat in the United States senate.”
Many others feel that way, and they felt the same way
before the 1028 campaign. Being a Democrat has been a
profitable profession for Senator Simmons even though he
says he is poverty-stricken after ”0 years in an office which
now pays a salary close to $1,000 per month. Farmers who are
thankful to get 13 cents for their weather-beaten cotton may
fail to understand the financial straits of a man with a $10,
000 annual salary.
No. All the Bailey supporters will not be recruited from
the ranks of original Smithites in North Carolina. What of
those who voted against Mr. Simmons in 1912? There will be
Quite a number of good dry, Protestant votes east for Mr.
Bailey which are not and'have never been influenced by Smith
sentiment, and they will not appreciate the innuendo that
such is not the ease.

Clear The Track For Prosperity.
In order that we might carry out
Pres. Hoover’s prosperity scheme,
wo must nil say—“Every day i
every way, business is better and
better.1’ This should be mumbled
at Intervals of 10 minutes. No mat
ter how sorry trade is, merchants
must lie and tell inquiry friends
that "business is fine.’’
Doctors must help in this psycho
logical drive. It shall be their duty
to go from patient to patient ex
plaining that the other one is much
sicker than you and that collections
are fine and that there’s mere sick
ness in their respective communities
than they ever heard of before and
they are as busy as a woman at a
bargain counter.
Cotton mills that have been closed
down lor lack of orders must pub
lish a statement setting forth the
fact that the mill is closed for re
pairs and apt ting up new machinery.
Coal dealers who are peddling cut
fuel In 50-cent quantities must talk
it around that they are too busy to
go home for dinner and enter all
orders calling for less than a dollar’s
worth of stuff as 2 tons or more
Chamber cf Commerce can oelp
by sending Mr. Hoover a list of the
proposed improvements and build
ing operations in their respective
towns, for inst nee: 84 new filling
stations are under construction in
-our- town-and vicinity. 14 hack-pi
azza’s are being floored In West End
and the 1799 cars that were without
license tags are being (gradually)
tagged an oozing out of I heir hid
ing places, thanks to the Inter
mediate Credit Hank.
Children In school shall be re
quired to say the following 24 times
a day: ‘Every day in every way,
pa says business is getting gocdei
and gooder." Banks shall pile all
of their money on the desks just be
side) where folks ion the outside.)
can see it and bank clerks mast
constantly holler at the president
and ask him where to pile that last
train lead of 20 dollar-btlls that
lias just arrived.
Service clubs should spread the
glad tidings of the “business ru:h"
that is now abroad in the land. If
a man should be heard to say 'hat
business is dull, a member of a ser
vice club should be delegated to go
and sheet him behind the smoke
house immediately. After each
meeting, the president of the :lub
should send Mr. Hoover the follow
ing telegram: “Every day in every
way. business is better and better.'
Yes sir rec. Gentlemen: business is
just what we say it is. so don't -ft
anybody hear you grumble. If you
take in a dime count it as 10 dol’ars.
Boost everything and everybody.
Tote big. bundles out. of your store
or hire somebody else to do so and
let them fetch them back through
the back door. Every shoulder must
be put to the wheel, and push,
push, PUSH. That's all we need to
bring back our wanted prosperity.
Ship Ahoy!
The New Year is 20 days old. All
of us have had time to take stock
of ourselves and our worldly goods.
The rnajority of the people are
vvrrse off than they were a year
ago. But we are headed for better
times.
The sorry crops and low prices of
last year wtu beln to return us to
our senses. The farmers will profit
by their experiences They will use
less fertilizer mid less gas and less
extravagance and will grow the next
crop for 30 per cent less.
The end of the gamblers orgy In
Wall street is going to prove a bless
ing in the long run. Folks will re
turn to gainful occupations and rid
their minds of the crap-shooting
bug. A boom in any commodity or
locality means utter ruin at the
tremlnus of the rainbow.
Real estate Is flat of its back and
has not a friend. The landlords arc
worse off than the tenants. Who
ever a land-owner engages to help
him work his farm, he has to agree
to adopt that person and his wife
and his children into his own fam
ily. He must furnish rations, deal
ing, school books, pills, and cof
fins for them if they must have
such. The time has come when the
tenant must learn to do a Uttle
looking out for himself.
The present Republican adminis
tration has dabbled into everythin”
mid has clone nettling with my
thing. It has adjusted the tariff to
suit a few and hurt a great many.
It has passed a farm relief bill that
doesn t relieve. It has shot more
"bull than has ever been shot be
fore, but that stuff does not "take"
any more. The treiid is toward mon
opoly for the classes and poverty
for the great -and iVcSr"great.‘ But
that trend can be reversed.
mere has been mere progress in
church building and school expan
sion and road construction during
the past 10 years than materialized
during 40 years prior to the World
war. We have issued bonds and
debentures and mortgages in so
great an amount and quantity that
our great grand-children will be
"swamped” with our obligations. We
can net now return to what used to
be called normalcy. We have been
so opiated with our apparent weal.h
that we have almost forgotten that
all debts, social, financial and moral
MUST BE PAID,
But utter all. he who works may
cat. The time might yet come when
a poor man will prefer a home oi
his own to a car partly his own. A
thousand-dollar tract of land will
last for all time, but a thousand
i dollar Job-buggy will be funked m .<
years. Most of us are blind, some
of us are crazy, quite a few of us
aie 1 mining wild, and the rest of
us are depending on the other fel
’ow. Just to get to the point before
this sheet of paper gives out X
want to say that the time has m
nved when every tub must reeds
it on its own bottom. That means
three things: 1—Work; 2—Wo-k
3—Work.
