THE AFFLICTION OF THE GOD
LYMany are the afflictions of the
Fight eons: hut the Lord delivereth
11m out of them all.—Psalm 34:19.
DID YO*J KNOW THIS?
Did you know thou Mount Vernon,
the home where George Waridngton
ived and died, is not now owned by
the government that he founded, toft
la the property of a national society
of women who years ago. through the
aplrit of patriotism that burned in
their breasts, acquired the property
■nd have developed it into what It is
today? We confess our own ignorance
oh the subjtct. and while maybe we
ought to be ashamed of such ignor
ance. doubt if the vast majority of the
people of this country know any bet
ter than we.
T/..1 week a bill was introduced in
the national House of Representatives
by Representative Treadway. Repub
lican, Massachusetts providing for the
United States government to buy the
beautiful colonial estate of the first
President and create there a great
national shrine. Mr. Treadway would
authorize the £ecre*»ry of the in
terior to negotiate with the ladies’ as
sociation for the purchase.
By all means the government should
own the Washington homeplace. Every
year many housands of people viat
Mount Vernon and walk about as if
they were treading upon holy ground.
Probably the thought never enters
their mind that their own country
does not own tills hallowed spot on
the banks of the Potomac river. They
go and come and are never the wl»r.
Whatever the price, within reason,
that wduld be necessary, ought to br
paid, and there never can be a better
or more appropriate time to do it
than in this bicentennial year, when
n,ot only this nation that largely owes
its existence to George Washington
but. the whole world has Re mind cen
tered upon the achievements of tMr
gTgat patriot And first president, Who
pilot*! the young republic through the
days of Rs toddling childhood and
set its feet in the paths of righteous
ness that have led it in this day {r
the peak of power and influence ifo
the world.
CROSSINGS NEED REPAIRS
• Receivers of the Seaboard Air Line
railroad ought to be requested to re
pair the grade crossings over their
main Mne tracks and sidings in Hen
denwn. For months these crossings
have been in very bad condition.,
some of them worse than others, and
a fwe so bad that they aetually are
to automobiles that are
compelled to ure them frequently,
day after day.
The Rock Spring street crossing is
one of the best to be found anywhere,
and is of a type of construction that
might be consiaered permanent. If
the railroad would do as good a job
at the others as it has done there, it
woukl not be always facing the recur
ring necessity of making repairs at
frequent intervals to keep the cross
ings in sattafactory condition.
.Some moult he ago the City Council
voted a request to the railroad autho
rities to have this repair work done,
but no response In that direction has
come, or at least has not found ex
pression In a genuine effort to rem
edy conditions that have long existed.
There baa been no widespread com
plaint on the pa ft of citizens, who
have been exceedingly patient about
it. But U wHt not be long before
pent-up feelings will become audible
unless impairs are made.
It rfioutf be Just as much the duty
of the rallrodd* flatln to keep
grade rrmsdngb in good femdbbon m
any cither port of their roadbed. But
they are net doing It la Henderson.
Yet, If an automobile were to Mall
between the rwHs wtidi protrude
far above the street level In some in
stances, and a serious accident should
result, a good deal wavad be said on
both dales. Pt will not coat nearly so
much to put these crossings in seatto
factory condition ae K would o de
fend a da sable damage salt and pos
sibly have a big eta ton to pay after
wards Hasn’t the city also a re
sponsibility in the mailer? Certainly
the municipaJ government should do
its beat to see that relief is given by
the railroad. Moot of the crossings,
with the exception of the one refer
red to. are badly in seed of repairs.
There are several crossings on the
Southern's tracks that are also In bad
shape, and while the subject is up.
these should likewise receive the at
tention they deserve.
NO BASEBALL: HOW TRAGIC!
What vivid memories of happy days
th tihe pant three summers come troop*
Ing to mind aa sports pages of the
daily newspapers are scanned teWng
of the Piedmont League being reor
ganized and launched upon another
season—and with Henderson loft out.
There were three summers whose dull
ness and drab days were brightened
by the afternoon or the evening off
looking at a real baseball game.
Few professional clubs have had as
good luck as Henderson had th so
short a span of high lift in the sports
world. Our chib never dM finish on
the bottom, and as early as our sec
ond year in tho organization we got
oh top soon after the Start and stayed
there all suatfber long, only to be priz
ed off in the final series by a bad
break. ,
Everywhere they said we couldn't
do R. Bid we showed them we oOufcL
Financial revenues in the community
made it Inadvisable to undertake the
venture again in 1932 and the gentle
men who patriot icahy stood the gbff
and held on against great odds last
summer will not be censured becaufe*
they decided not to try it again this
year. How we wish the old hMBt
town could have clung on to the
sport this year. It would have afforib
ed a break in the monotony of dull
business in the quiet season of the
year. It would have afforded a break
in the monotony of dull business in the
quirt season of the year. It would
have given us something on which to
center our community pride and loy
alty. It doesn't matter where the old
game is played, somehow it lent
quite the same and lacks the appeal
of being a home team when you see
it in somebody efee’s park.
But better days will come again.
When business improves and the thirst
for the great national sport is felt once
more, perhaps we shall be able to
take over a franchise that is being
dropped somewhere along the line. It
's going to be rough sledding for even
‘he best of them tn this good year,
even though the depression may be
receding. It would be a pretty good
*t to wager that the 1933 line-up
will be different from that in 1932 in
he Piedmont. And It won't be sur
prising if the opportunity is offered
again for us to get back in a year
hence if the financial backing can be
found to support the eluh. But there
wont be any Piedmont club in Hen
derson this season; and what a trag
edy, what a tryedy! * *
' :
One Jobs coo crop is not out of the
way until preparations for another
are begun. The 1931 production had'
not been disposed of before the farm
ers began to put in their planibbeds for
this year. And now that the season
has closed, a backward look in re
trospect might not be amiss.
We fell short by nearly five million
pounds of the peak Henderson tobac
co history reached la 1930. Perhaps
the biggest reason for that was the
short crop. But as short as it vtae,
it was not small enough to operate to
watfrd a better price tor the growers.
Other territories did not retrench as
our farmer* did Jn this belt. Unified
action ie n eceseary If prices are to be |
affected, and the industry did not* ex- !
pertence a out in sufficient proportions
to lower the supply to which a level
as to mnka the inevitable law of sup
ply and demand operate to advantage.
There was a slackening demand
from abroad, due to economic condi
tions and the dvtl strife In India and
particularly la China, where the
trouble has broadened to an even
more serious turn. Although the do
mestic companies had record earn
ing*. the gross volume of dgarrtte

previous year.

Mach of Henderson’* welfare de

grown and marketed i n this city and

we cannot afford to relax our intense
efforts toward the building of a great

the acreage may be. The ne*t three

ket and to boost it* interests and Its

furnish payrolls and incomes for our

upon tobacco.
The season has ended, and, wMle
It was not an good as some others
have been, there was much about it
that affords ground for congratulation.
Ws should bear that to mind as an
other season comes oh, and work all
the harder to achieve a greater suc

THE PULL OF CAROLINA
Say whet you will, there is a sort of
provincialism in North Carolina that
Is more or lees common and. peculiar
to citizens Os this State. They do not,
as a rule, take to the idea of going
etoewwhere than on their own native
soil to make a living, and when the
urge is so Irresistible strong that they
cannot hold back, they never forget
the oM folks and the old customs
among vrtrich they were born and
reared and allways feel a yearning to
come back home for their declining
years. Over and over again, they have
demonstrated took they prefer to stay
among their own folks even at a sac
rifice la earnings.
Evidence of this spirit is seen in
the condition that now prevails at the
University of North Carolina While
In recent months several members of
the faculty there have been lured
away by huge salaries, there are more
than that number Who have refused
to be entfeed, and who decline to
transplant therasetvee to other locali
ty* where the delightful Anglo-Saxon
atmosphere is lacking.
From Chapel Hill there came over
the week-end the story that at lead
aix prominent members of the Unt
verrity faculty who have achieved a
national reputation to their respective
firids have recently turned down
tempting offers from other instßu
rions. They have elected to stay
where they are despite salary cute
and the poorifcißty of still further re
duction* in their pay. A man who
can resist the doubling of hie salary
and larger focUlMee for research in
hds chosen field and stay on at per
sonal sacrifices has something, ladies
and gentlemen, that the world knows
tint of. Some would call them fools
for assuming such an attitude. Oth
gtp vfontki pie' to their action the spir
it tttfct Mkri made North Carolina to
day one of fire mokt delightful and
friendly sections in ah the world in
Which to Hve.
It is distinctly to the credit of the
grand old commonwealth that it has
reared such sons ae these and that
it hm instilled in them a loyalty and
a willingness tc sacrifice for her per
petuation and development. We
think these professors, as well as oth
er citizens of a Hke mind, are to be
congratulated, as is the State, for the
mutual affection that exists between
them,

“Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor
And Are Heavy Laden"
(Read Matthew 11:25-30).
Not always doss God to Christ come
to Ur. More often He bids us come to
Mm. The light must, be followed and
sought after when to receive it inac
tively would lead to spiritual self-in
dulgence. Thus, Christ says to us to
are capable of action that no matter
hew weary we are we must use our
lari remaining hit of strength to tak
ing stops toward Him. Christ goes the
fdU dtotance in seeking and saving
those riho cs nnot move toward Him;
but to eo for ae we are able to go, He
requires ue to do so. Thun we are
saved from becoming rekgtous pau
pers. So long, therefore, as we have
any strength at afl, we must take up
Christ’s yoke and go after Him.
