This will be strictly adhered to. MONDAY, SEPT. 7, 1931 TWINKLES “Coin” Haney is a candidate for president and if he san scatter over the country some of the stuff designated by his nickname then he should make a pretty good run. w. Another indication that tiqies are not as hard as the pessimists would have us believe: North Carolinians burn ad a million gallons more gas in July and August of this year than they did in the same months last year. The Raleigh News and Observer, the paper that made famous the “it is a LAW, mind you,” is worried because Raleigh schools will operate only eight months this year in stead of nine. Wonder how many months they could have been operate if all the school tax had been taken off land? "Farmers In Better Shape Than Industry,” informs a headline, and after reading that we can hear some discour aged fanner gay, “Then industry must be in a heck of a shape.” One cannot prosper without the other, which is all the more reason why the business world should cooperate with the farmer in bringing about better prices foi* farm products. BANISHING POVERTY MR. HOOVER didn’t come out with the direct statement that he would abolish poverty, but in 1928 he did say “The poor house is vanishing from among us . . . but given the chance to go forward with the policies of the last eight years (Coolidge-Republican policies,) we shall soon be in sight of the day when poverty will be banished from the na tion.” We suppose that eventful day is hanging around that w.k. comer shooting craps with prosperity. MELON SYRUP, EARLY GINNING aIL-TIME RECORDS aren’t established every day. Fre quently one reads that such a thing has been done for the first time or done earlier than ever before and right often errors are made in such statements because the rec ords are hasy. Not long since it was reported in The Star that 50 years ago cotton was ginned in this county in August, the inference indicating that the August ginning may have been a record. Up speaks E. H. Luts, however, to say that six years ago he ginned several bales of cotton in August. Along about the same time Jule Brackett made his water melon syrup and started some talk. Watermelon syrup in this immediate section in recent years was something new, although Jule did not claim to be the originator. Since then Webster Whisnant and other have come forward with the information that watermelon syrup was made in Ruther ford county, in eastern Carolina and in South Carolina many years ago. There is very little new' under the sun, and records are not made every day. ANOTHER SCHOOL YEAR TODA\ IS THE BEGINNING of another school year for around S,000 Shelby children. It is an important per iod not only because of the vital importance of school days in the lives of those 3,000 youngsters, but also because it is of deep interest to their parents and the community in gen eral. The Shelby schools this "year are of necessity having to get along on less funds than last year. There are three less teachers on the faculty despite an anticipated gain in en rollment. This means additional work for the teachers and rails for more thorough effort on the part of teachers end oupils. It is in this phase that parents can aid much. Each teacher will have more pupils in his or her class this year. much attention cannot be given the individual pupil here tofore and because of this parents can aid very much by co jperating to the extent of seeing that the youngsters are sncouraged to keep up their work by home study and strict observance of rules and regulations. Despite a reduced budget it can be a good school year if teachers, pupils and parents desire to make it so and work to that end. TWO “IMPOSSIBLES” NOW COMES FORWARD the friends of William G. Mc Adoo, boosting him for Democratic presidential nomi nation and thus reiterating the lack of unity, or rather the inclination of strife, within Democratic ranks. Mr. McAdoo is no more the logical candidate of the Democrats than is Alfred E. Smith. Both with the ultimate poal of a general election victory are impossible. This view should not be construed as belittling Mr. Mc Adoo’s ability just as it isn’t saying that Mr. Smith would both make an excellent president. One is impossible for the jame reason that the other is: one faction of the party will not stand for McAdoo and the other is equally opposed to Smith. Then why try to advance the nomination of either when it is an evident faet that such boosting will cause dis sension? Why not select and unite behind a candidate with analities of both, a candidate that will not arouse the ire of McAdoo followers, nor alienate Smith supporters? The two men are bn opposite sides of the breach which was so dis astrous to the party in 1928—why widen that split by in jecting either of them? There are many Democrats not McAdoo followers who would support McAdoo if nominated but in a reluctant manner, and, likewise, there are many ajti-Smith Democrats who would vote for Smith if nomi nated but without enthusiasm. Isn’t it the height of folly then to continue pushing either of them into the president ial scene? Nominate a man, and the party has such, who will draw the enthusiastic backing of both factions. Frank lin D. Roosevelt or Newton D. Baker would turn the trick, we believe, with Smith and McAdoo and their factions giv ing whole-hearted support. I AM STILL RICH (By Roy L. Smith in The Rotarian.) WE HAVE PASSED through a panic, suffered from a crash on the stock market and are now more than half way through the depression and I am still rich. It may be true that I have much less to live on than I had a year ago, but it is certainly true that I have just as much as ever to live for. The real values of life are up shaken and solid. The stock crash cost us much that we never had—paper profits which never got nearer our pockets than the finan cial pages of the daily papers. The market failed but noth ing else did. Prices went down but not one acre lost its fer-i tility and all the electrons, protons, and ether waves went on working in their accustomed ways. AY hen the depression came I was compelled to take an invoice and soon discovered Ahat I was still rich. All my capacity for the enjoyment of life was intact. My two-hundred-thousand-dollar eyes are just as good as they ever were. Every landscape and sunset is mine if I want it. Twenty-thousand-dollar scenes and views are add ed to my collection almost every week. A hundred-thous and-dollar sense of hearing is still unimpaired and by it I become an heir to a world of beauty and inspiration. Then there’s my million-dollar stomach and a half million-dollar appetite. No doctor has sentenced me to spin ach for the rest of my life. Better to have plain food and an appetite than to sit down to a banquet with no appetite. No man can be rich who is compelled to take orders daily from his stomach. The depression has not lowered the value of a single friendship. Neighbors still greet us in the same old cor dial way, business associates believe in us, and our sons hold us in high respect. The wife’s welcome at the close of the day has not depreciated in the least and our daughters con tinue to lavish their affection upon us with the same old extravagance. My faith in the goodness of the universe is unimpaired. By that faith I am emboldened as 1 face defeat and despair. The prayers my mother taught me and the faith in God in stilled in me by a devout father remain as priceless treasur es no depression can touch. No nation becomes great becoming rich. Neither does a man find enduring satisfaction in life by owning some thing—only by becoming something. The most degrading poverty is that which results from killing the spirit that the body may be served. This depression has cost us some of the things we cre ated but it has robbed us of none of our power to create. We may lose some beautiful things but we have lost no love of the beautiful. It is a challenge, not a catastrophe. A generation that has conquered the air and sent giant planes circling the globe, which has plunged into the deeps and disported on the ocean’s floor which has climbed above the clouds and liv ed in the stratosphere is now faced with the challenge to rise above its dependence on mere things and seek an emancipa tion of the spirit of man. The last six months have been for many men a thrill ing adventure through which they have discovered their real wealth. Rereft of dividends and profits they are dis covering the sustaining powers of a strong religious faith, the abiding values of courage, heroism, honor, charity, and trustworthiness. A financial crisis can wipe out profits and bring busi ness to a standstill but character is beyond its reach. It can rob us of all we have but it cannot affect what we are. The investments we made in ambitious youth, hospitals, crippled-children’s camps, colleges, and service institutions go on paying dividends. The deepest satisfactions of life —those which come from sharing and serving—remain se cure. I am still rich because i am independently rich—none of my wealth depends upon business conditions or market reports. Other Praise For Hoey Is Accorded Hoey Unusual Type. (Greensboro News.) The announcement of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, that he Is not run ning for the United States senate, we suppose, was news to a large number of the members of Mr. Hoey's party who cannot be shaken loose from the conviction that once a candidate means always a candi date. Butt the governor's brother-in law's statement was hardly needed by any of those who have a more than casual acquaintance with poli tics as practiced in these parts. If Mr. Hoey had wished to be United States senator, he had only to accept appointment from Gover nor Gardner, and that with his per sonal popularity and the recognition by the party’s leadership of it and Mr. Gardner's obligation to him, Cameron Morrison might Just as well have sought other fields to con quer. That he did not accept appoint ment is to be attributed we think to the fact that he would rather practice law and make campaign speeches than to accept any sort of * commission at "Washington. He tried congress once, and did not like it. There was something said, it is true, about the excessive financial cost of Mecklenburg county's sup port; but it is more likely that the chief reason for Mr. Hocy’s quite voluntary retirement was that poli tically he finds it more blessed to give than to receive. There are Democrats and Repub licans like that, although the woods are not over-full of them here abouts. Pleasant For Cam. (Roxboro Courier.) We venture the assertion that Senator Morrison has read nothing which gave him more pleasure than the statement from Hon. Clyde R. Hoey which appeared in Sunday morning papers. Mr. Hoey stated emphatically that he would not be a candidate for the senate, prefer ring to remain a private citisen. He stated that political office did not appeal to him, and this can be eas ily believed, for he was a member of congress for one term, and could have held on possibly Just as long as he might wish, but he declined a re-nomination Mr. Hoey has a large and lucrative law practice, making many times the salary raid a senator, and does no* care to live It up; and he Is wise in his decision. He had many friends who insisted on his running for the nomination for the seat now held by Senator Morrison, and if there was a man In the state who could have defeated the present senator, it was Mr. Hoey; possibly he might have failed, but certainly we do not be lieve any other man has a possible chance May Get Him Yet. • Lexington Dispatch.) "We nominate Hoey for governor in 1936,” says Editor Hurley in the Salisbury Post. Second the motion, If that’ll help any. Plenty of political folks felt out the water and then changed the trend of their thinking. But it flab bergasts one when a fellow wades through a regular deluge of centl ment and comes out declaring “It never touched me.” Maybe Clyde Hoey thinks being in congress once immunises a fellow just like having smallpox. But, Brother Hoey, don't forget how old Caesar pushed aside the brown derby thrice and then grabbed a tin hat and waded in. Just Ten Years Ago • From issue of The Star.
