GRADUATION Thirty-nine young men and women will this week finish their work in the local High School. To some it will be the end of their education ns far as books are concerned. To oth ers it will only be the beginning. They have the world ahead ot' them. A world of many opportunities but a world which requires a great, many things in return. They have an op portunity to be of service to the community and to the world in the future. At any rate these young men and women who have come this far da serve to be congratulated. \Ye are glad for them and wish them a long ;i'ul successful life of service. PRIMARIES ARE PARITY FUNCTIONS With the approach of the party primaries on June 6tih it is well to consider their purposes and proper protection. Many people apparently think of a primary as simply anoth er election in which everybody has a right to participate Such is not the case. A Democrat has no more right to take part in a Republican primary or a Republican to participate in a Democratic primary than either to attend the party conventions of the other. If you are a Republican and honestly intend to change your par ty affiliation (or vice versa) then it is your right and privilege to take part, in the selection of the partv nominees. Attorney General Seawell has is sued a timely ruling that Republi cans will not be allowed to partici pate in Democratic primaries, nor Democrats in Ttepublican primary contests. But, if you are registered as a Democrat, it is not only your privi lege, but, your duty to vote, Satur day. Let not the person who does not take enough interest to vote in the Primary Saturday utter one word of criticism against the party's nominee. P. S. TO DR. HIGHSMITH In addhion to the two years of French required of pupils in the Negro school lien-, pupils who for the most part need to master much more practical accomplishments than that that of being able to pat ter 'polly voos Frenchy?' a more ri diculous situation was exposed by Mrs. Bingham in her curriculum story yesterday. The State prescri bes the course of study for nil tlie schools. For the larger schools, a number of elective courses are pro vided, but in tiie smaller schools, schools which have only a minimum of money to run on, college prepara- ; tor.v courses only are offered. And what does that mean? Why. that in the country high schools and in the Negro high schools boys and girls are prepared for the college training that only a few out of ev ery thousand can hope to receive. Instead of fitting them lo take up life on the f.unn or life in the store or life in the kitchen, they are fit ted useb sly for further academic ! learning. Obviously, this is all wrong. Four j srs in preparation for life should he j Standard, courses iti prepare Hon for higher education elective where pos sible. As Mrs. Bingham hints, before we try to teach the school children to think it might he wiser to teach the eluent 'mill authorities themsel ves to u-v their heads.—Charlotte News. Crop Rotations Build Soils; Prevent Erosion Erosion control and maintenance of soil fertility depends to a large ex tent upon suitable rotation of crops, according to A. H. Veasey, chief agronomist of the Soil Conservation Service in North Carolina. "This state is facing no greater problem than that of planning and adopting crop rotations,'' lie said. Veazey recommends rotations in eluding grasses, clover, lespedezas, and other legumes which add organ ic matter and nitrogen to the soli thereby improving its chemical and mechanical condition. These crops also increase the water holding ca pacity of the soil. Close-growing glasses and legum es bin-.l --' i soil and r i-.u-n to a minimum losses from washing. On North Carolina's badly eroded areas, where the fertility has been, either washed away or used up by planting tie same crop in the same field year after year. Veazey consid ere grasses and legumes necessities for rebuilding the soil. HERE and THERE By Haywood E. Lynch I found out this week that Mrs. J B. M. Ormand used to work on J The Herald. I knew Mrs. Ormand was a very clever lady, and now I know why: I asked her when did she work on the home-town shee/t and she said, “It was back in the ’90's.” P. D. Herndon is making some mighty pretty rugs at Fabrics, Inc. If you haven't seen them it is cer tainly worth your time to go by and give them the once-over. I am sure P. D. will be glad to show them to you. He did to me and sold me one. Pretty Sight: The graduates re ceive their diplomas Monday night. Some of the candidates will soon be able to tell how many liars there are hereabouts. I actually went all the way from the office to the bank today with out shaking hands with a single candidate.

Hord and children and Mrs. John F. White returned today from Gastonia where they have been visiting. Born to Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Baker, May 20, 1916, a son. Mrs. W. P. Herndon and Miss Mae Patterson went to Gastonia Tuesday. Mr. Fred Good of Greenville, S. C. Mr. Hugh Bennett and mother of Trenton, Tenn., Mr. Paul Patrick of Greenville, S. C., are visited at Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Neisler's last week. The young men were school mates of Mr. Eugene Noisier, Jr. Taxation’s High Toll By RAYMOND PITCAIRN National Chairman Sentinels of the Republic ■■ That government ii best which gov erns least. This was one of the axioms of our sturdy Americans of earlier generations. It's being forgotten today. Americans are getting a lot more government than their fathers got. And they're paying a lot more for it, too. How much more? A recently pub lished long-range study of governmental costs offers some interesting answers. It shows, for example: That in 1850 approximately one cent out of every dollar earned in the United States was spent on the upkeep of govemmentr—federal, state and local. That by 1900 the proportion had risen to six cents out of every such dollar That by 1929 government was taking twelve cents out of the dollar. And finally: That by 1934 the toll had mounted to nineteen cents out of each income dollar. Nor is that the entire story. Actually, government is spending more than it collects—and has been doing so for years. In 1934, the figures reveal, it spent approximately 35 cents out of every dollar earned by its citizens. The difference, of course, helped swell pub lic debt. What is the effect of this rising toll on the productive enterprise oi our country? Let's consider it. Money spent by government is, in general, unproductive. Seldom does it create new opportunities for lasting employment. Eitt money spent in pri vate enterprise- -in building homes, in expanding stores, in operating farms ol factories—creates new wealth, new op portunities. new jobs. To divert great sums from productive enterprises and individual pay enve lopes into the hands of government spenders is. therefore, to limit every citizen’s opportunity not only to work and earn, but to enjoy the full fruits of his toil. It is a barrier to re-employ ment. America enjoyed its greatest expan sion when government was economical, and taxation small. It cannot recap ture that swift progress so long as it is handicapped by a millstone of official extravagance and waste. Economy in government is, therefore, far more than a popular demand. It Is an essential to both the progress of our nation and the ' prosperity of its people.

J. R. CLINE Sheriff Of Cleveland County, Office In Court House, Shelby. ' ears of experience, bravery, fairness and willingness to meet any circumstances or emergency as it may arise, are vital elements of a competent Sheriff of a county, and Sheriff Cline is regarded as just this type of officer by his many friends in this section. The Sheriff who attends strictly to his duties, may he called out at any horn- of the night and may run afoul of the most desperate bandit. Thus being Sheriff is not the easi est and most pleasant occupation, yet the public seldom fully appre ciates the large part the / lefliff plays in safeguarding its interest in so many different ways. Oftimes one finds it impossible to collect a just debt, and suit is instituted and when recognized by the courts, a judgment is entered. It is then up t^ the Sheriff to see this judgment is satisfied. Sheriff Cline has for years been one of the most dependable and esteemed men in Cleveland county. He has a host of friends because ot his fair spirit towards his fellow men. The Pure Oil Service Station Corner King Street And Railroad Avenue Open Under New Management R. P. Barnes, Mgr.
