' HARD TO BELIEVE A middle-aged housewife, fit Pennsylvania. who subscribes to witchcraft, recently confessed that she killed three persons including her husband and step-son. Apparently she was involved In a ring that psed murder as a' ' method of collecting insurance. * ' Now. the average American c'tl>en finds It hard to tiMle-ve that there are persons In the world who would delllterately plot the poisoning of Individuals In order to get monev from their deaths. However, the a*erage American Is entirely wrong., j There are such people. : i A MUCH NEEDED WEAPON A bill to provide for deportation of 1 aliens who advocate an overthroy of ' the United States foftn of govern- < ment, has been under consldetatlon 1 in Congress. ' This should provide a much needed weapon at a time when there ar? 1 a great many agitators beating the > drum of Communism. Fascism or ' eiime otner "ism and Advocating that Americanism be discarded. < It Is hoped that the bill will final- < ly be approved by the Senate and ' signed ,by the President. 6ven though the CIO Is opposing it. ' While such a pew law wotlld great ' ly strengthen the powers of officials f charged with deportation of undeslr- 1 able aliens, there are simitar laws f now on the statute books. It might * be well for enforcement agencies to mart a rigid application of these existing laws at once. J BARRIERS TO NATIONAL r PROGRESS ' America irrew to Its present posl- J t'on as the nation with the highest standard of living the world has e ever known because It consisted of forty-eight separate state which yet 1 at the same time succeeded in work- e ingtogether for the good of the J1 whole country. Like the Three Musketeers. the United States was al- ' ways "all for one. one for all." 1 Today a perilous shadow seems to * be cast upon this successful formula, jj It is the shadow of state trade barrlers ? "tariffs" discriminating athe products of outsde states so that home products may reap a tempor ary benefit. . . ' i These discriminatory taxes take c many forms, but are all deadly In c' effect. Their Inevitable result is to Cl produce retaliatory measures In the % other states; and. If this trend con- tl t.nues, we may Home day see fortyeight states with high trade barriers " raised against one another, hindering the free flow of commerce that 8< ?... n ras tieen a main reason ror our na- *" tional progress. - e There's something distinctly up- r< American about that picture! al v< dl WHY ONE BOY WANTED fi TO DIE The other day the police of a d; western city saved a boy, only thlr- ai teen years old, who had attempted to n take his life by hanging. |j Now, If adults are Interested in at the welfare of younger people, the at question naturally arises. "What n caused this youngster to prefer at death to llfeT' Wall, the land told the police, list- tl tag four reasons: (1) His father was ot serving a life term in prison; (2) his u stepfather waa in >11 tor djunken- ot neaa; (8) ke didn't know whffe his ei mother waa; (4) ha couldn't go to tli school because he waa ashamed of at bis elothea. h< IWe are mot familiar with what on might be called the "case-history" of | vl C"Sfxv.

I like to write about local folks in this column,-- but soma VMika. mv IaciI hat anything worth whila recording. W. A. Ridenhour ia a vary brave man. Ha waa alone at home one night last weak, whan all of a audden he heard a terrible commotion ipstaira. At flret ho thought of burgla re, but up the eta ire he trad to investigate. In the excitement, and being the brave man ho waa, ho did not bother to take hia truoty shot gun, that has killed many a quail. When he opened the door ho found that 22 chimney sweeps had entered and were looking for a way out. la W. A. ft. declared war oh the * birds and killed several of thorn. One had a leg band on it with Ins*ructions to notify Washington, O. C. If the I notice by the papers that a now hosiery mill ia being installed In bhelby that will hire about M persona and will make about 100 doaon ladies silk hoae a week. I wish Kings Mountain could get a now sex factory or something. If it is not a fine lidiea' sl|k hose, or high class men's cox plant, it will be all right, we will b# satisfied with a work so*. Mayor J. B. Thomaaaon should bo congratulated for the system he has set up in Mayor's Court. A permanent record of every case and the disposition of it Is now being kept. It ie now possible to find out who was arrested for what and what It rest to do what. And another thing, those arrested are actually tried. The cheapest a person can be arrested, tried, and found guilty in Kings Mountain is $9.20, this is the cost only, any fine must be added. Note to Blacksburg visitors: it is' cheaper to drink at home than to get caught on the streets of Kings Moun tain. ' . ' : Manufacturers Seek Farmers Opinions Lincoln, Neb. May 16.?(IPS).? With the Intention of "listening and learning" a group of nationally prom Inent manufacturers will gather here from the East, West and South for a. wo day discussion Of agriculture sith a half hundred or more Nebraska fanners. The meeting will .be under the auspices of the Agricultural neUoerA of tho TTr*4?rot*o<fv nf Vohmg.

Object of the meeting Is to (five nannfacturerg a better knowledge of he problems of agriculture and farm ondltlons throughout the country as i meanr of promoting a better under I'ancHng between the two groups. It ill he the first such meeting held his youngster. However, we venture he assertion that nearly every community has, in its midst, young boys nd young girls who are facing decorate situations, without much evlicnce that anybody else Is Interertd in their plight. It might not be a bad idea for all | he adults of this section to keep an ye out for such cases In our midst,' lot so much for the purpose of callng them to public attention pa for he opportunity, In quiet and helpul way. to make a contribution toaid the Improvement of another in:vidua). It Is a service that brings 8 own reward. . - . _\ . . " \ * - .

Hut the Government Reorganization plan just sent to Congress * by The President has changed the whole outlook of the worrying real estate agents. For the interpretation made of the-reorganization plan by most observers Is simply this: It will tend to make, permanent many of the aoouljed ^temporary' emergency agencies established in Washington in the last few years. " Basis for that interpretation Is this: The reorganization plan, as drafted by the President places many of the temporary agencies, such as WPA. NYA. PWA. RFC. FHA, HOLC etc. In permanent 'bureaus. Thus functions of these agencies will slnvply become a part of the work of the permanent agency and not an independent function of government. The reasoning is that It will be easier to get Congress to con tlnue one of. the functions of a perma ncnt establishment than It would be to get Congess to continue the existence of an independent "emergecy" agency. , As one observer put it: "It will itill be the same 'boloney' Just sliced a little differently." * The coal strike brought some Interesting statistics to light In the Capitol.

There have been bitter quarrels between the Treasury and Justice Departments over crime chasing bet ween the interior and Agrlcalture Departments over jurisdiction; between the State and Commerce Departments over the same point, and between the War, Navy and Labor Departments over numerous things. . Now, the latter departments are at It again, with the War and Navy Departments lined up against Secretary Perkins on the question of control of subversive alien activities.
