i The Stranger Within Our Gates
. . I was raised (not reared> about
19 miles from a town, but there was
a country store only about 7 miles
from home and we visited there once
or twice a year when any of us
could get "holt" to a nickel or a
I penny. We ran into a little civiliza
jtion at the store.
.1 recall that a "town ' man
I came to our house one day to go a
fishing. We lived near a large river.
II was about 16 years of age at that
j time, and 1 had a brother who was
I older and several brothers and sis
| ters younger. We were all curious
and white heated. We dodged strang
ers with the same agility that we
1 would have shunned or dodged bears
! and maddogs.
.... on account of a very neavy
i rain, this "town" man had to spend
| the night at our house. His horse
| never would have pulled his buggy
over the socalled road that ’-an from
our farm to the Lord only knew
where—we diddent. It was indeed a
great honor to have a fine, rich man
spend a night at our house, so we
fixed up for him from fried chick
en to the featherbed in the company
| room.
I. ... . There w ere 2 knot holes
I through the wall into the company
! room that permitted Pete and my
self to gaze through when we had
anything to gaze at <N. B. We never
gazed at women through knot holes
or otherwise, as we were too timid
to let a female see us). Well, this
| visitor was accompanied to the room
by father and the fellow said: "Good
night” to him, and he said “Good
bye. Mr. Brown,” but that wassent
his name: It was Smith
.... The “town” man took off his
clothes and to our utter amazement
and astonishment, he had some oth
j er clothes still on him. We had nev
' er seen any under-clothes up to that
night, and believe it or not, that guy
had on 2 undergarments. We had
never worn anything in our family
except a shirt and a pair of britches
—except when it was very cold, we
wore two pairs of britches—if we
could find any to wear.
. . Well, after^he got his uner
1 clothes off. he reached into a satchel
! and fetched out a long dress and put
it on. <Later on, we learned that
that dress was a nightshirt). ' He
combed his hair before he got in
bed. We had heard of folks combing
I their hair after they got out of bed
j He took off his socks—that was new
to us. He removed the pillow shams
. from the pillow’s. (One had this em
^ broidered, on It—“At Rest” and the
othes one had this—“In Sleep'). He
1 crawled into bed and was snoring
loutjl.y in a few minutes. and so
were me and Pete.
People Moving Back
To Rural Sections
Formerly Attracted To City By
High Hates, People Are Mov
ing Back to Farms.
Raleigh, June 21.—"Farming as
a vocation is becoming increasingly
popular with city and town people
as shown by the greater number who
are moving to the country,” declar
ed Angus W. McLean, former gov
ernor of North Carolina. "My obser
vation and experience in the last
few months coincides with the facts
brought out in the federal govern
ment's figures showing the move
ment of people to the country. In
1930, a total of 1.392,000 persons left
the towns and cities to farm—the
largest movement of this kind since
the government began to record
such movements in 1922, In the lat
ter year, the exodus from the farms
amounted to 1,120,000; in 1924, 679,
000; in 1925, 1,0202.000; in 1927 , 604,
000; in 1928, 376,000; in 1929, 619,
; 000; and in 1930, 151,000.
"It is significant that, the move
ment from farms* to the cities and
towns has declined progressively
and that the number of people go
ing from the city to the country in
' 1930 was the largest since 1924.
''Farmers were attracted to the
j cities because of high wages and
I the ease with which they could find
| employment. Many of the people
Snow returning are those who prev
iously farmed or their sons. They
will find farm real estate selling on
about a pre-war basis. Agricultural
1 commodities do not bring fancy
prices, but agriculture should re
cover from the current depression
along with or before Industry. With
a better market for farm products,
land values should be stabilized at
above their presentr4evels."

Shooting Of Mason
Brings On Comment
Hickory Record
Following the shooting at Char
lotte early Thursday morning of
Lowell Mason, Duke university foot
ball star, by a poltoe captain, a
general shake-up of the police de
partment there is threatened.
The Charlotte council, meeting
late Thursday, ordered the suspen
sion of Alex West, night captain
who shot Mason, and of patrolmen
Guy Vickery and R. C. Cordell, who
had arrested the young man.
The officers declare that Mason
had been placed under arrest but
broke away from the officers and
attempted to escape. The night cap
tain, seeing the fleeing man and
noting that he was escaping from
the other two officers shot Mason to
stop him, it is alleged.
We trust the investigation will be
.sufficiently exhaustive to prove def
initely whether or not the officers
are at fault or were simply doing
their duty. It looks, at. a distance,
as if It might be a case of family
prominence causing a shake-up un
der circumstances that might have
been accepted as perfectly proper if
the wounded young man had been
from a lower rank in life.
The idea of officers shooting
promiscuously without plenty of
provocation is, of course, all wrong
However, a man who has been ar
rested by officers of the law should
realize the consequences of at
tempting to escape. Ii he is bring
held without cause, he has nothing
to fear because he can easily prove
his case at the first opportunity.
It will be interesting to await the
termination of a most unfortunate
incident. Let us hope, though, that
the young man’s injury will not
prove fatal.
