GUARD YOUR THOUGHTS: Fin
ally, brethren, whatsoever things are
true whatsoever things are honest,
whatsoever things are just, whatso
ever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely, whatsoever things
are of good report; if there by any
virtue, and if there be any praise,
think on these things— Philippiane

ENLARGING OUR POST
OFFICE.
Congressman Cooley, who was heie
yesterday, said it was his undeistand
ing that funds had already been al- f
lotted for the improvement and en- |
largement of the Henderson post of
fice. but he did not know just what
amount was involved. Every week
or so some inspector or agent of one
kind or another drops in at the post
office to look over some new angle
of the program for expanding facili
ties here, and each time one comes
the project seems a little nearer and
a little more certain.
So it seems that Henderson is on
the verge of receiving another gift
from Santa Claus for which it not
only did not ask for but knew noth
ing about until there were real de
velopments.
Any one familiar with the post of
fice workings on the inside can see
the genuine need for larger quarters
And if the government buys the va
cant lot to the rear of the office and
holds it for future requirements, it
will be making a very wise move. It
is reasonable to suppose that even aft
er the prospective expansion has tak
en place the city will continue to
grow and that eventually still more
room may be necessary. And this is
the only available site left adjoining
the present office property. It would
almost seem that the lot had been
kept these years for Uncle Sam to
take over when he feels the need.
If the site is not acquired now, it
very probably will not be available
later on.
A suggestion has been made that
the government might add another
story to the building to provide quart
ers for Federal court to be held in
Henderson at regular intervals. While
there is very little business for the
United States court originating in
Vhis county, there would ]Jobably
be enough of it in adjoining and
nearby counties to justify two or three
sessions a year to be held in Hen
derson. Those who have taken the
time to look into the situation say
there would be justification for such
a departure if the government could
be prevailed upon to make the in
vestment large enough to include
quarters for court sessions.
Here again arises the very real
need for some sort of an organization
in Henderson that will make it a
part of its business to represent the
city in further claims for just such
public enterprises. Organizations of
this kind cost a little money, but
nearly every community that has
them feels the investment is well
worth the financial outlay. We can
see no reason why Henderson could
not profit by a similar undertaking.
LAND GRABBING
Italy's adventure into Ethiopia is
no more and no less than purely and
simply a land-grabbing campaign. It
is another case of the stronger nation
gobbling up the weaker one. It has
been that way in all history. Hopes
that civilization had risen above such
greed and such selfishness seem about
to Vie dashed again.
Mussolini sat on the sidelines along
with the other great world powers and
saw Japan walk into North China
and take what she wanted and never
raised a hair to prevent it. Now Ja
pan is preparing to bite off another
hunk of helpless and hopeless China,
and no nation is interested enough
even to interpose an objection. In
the course of time, all China may
become a mere vassal of Japan, just
as Korea and Manchukuo have coma
to be.
Nations will continue to grab
everything in sight that they want
so long as individuals have no more
high-minded principles than that.
And individuals can hardly be blam
ed for greed so long as their gov
ernments indulge in such unscrupu
lous tactics.
But that does not lessen nor min
imize the injustice of the thing. The
only organization the world has ever
built up to combat or even to make
a pass at managing or handling re
calcitrant governments is the League
of Nations, and individual members
of that body, or some of them, have
become so obsessed with greed that
they are pulling out because it stands,
in their path. And the old land-grab
bing process goes on and on and on.
OTHERS 7 VIEWS
sour— just sour.
T 0 the Editor:
Congress has adjourned and the
money changers are yet in the Tem
ple. Two and a half years of pain
and suffering, for half the people of
this country have passed, since the
man. who said he would drive the
money changers from the temple be
came President. Every day he has
been in office he has had a Congress
with a large majority of his party in
control, ready t G do his bidding. No
man in the history of the world has
ha the power he has had for the last
two and a half years. Wbat has he
done for the farmers and working
folks? What has he done for those
who do all the work and made this
country what it is? Lawyers, bank
ers. preachers, and the rich class
have not made the food the clothes,
the houses, the roads, and all the oth
er things mankind must have to live,
properly. Working people did that.
What has this administration done
for that class? Simply this: It has
warmed over the same pot of soup
and dealt it out to the working peo
ple just as every new administration
has since G. Washington.. Not all
Presidents like the soup of the same
constituency. For instance, Mr. Hoov
er liked his entirely too thin some
think, but the people had to take it
or get nothing. This man in the
White House now has made the soup
a little thicker and all the Demo
cratic papers and even some farmers
and working folks say they like it.
All of our North Carolina Congress
men say they think it fine for far
mers and workers, even though they
have never tasted it, themselves. They
do not eat that kind of food. Even
our dear Senator Bailey is speaking
more in favor of the soup than he
did some time ago. While he like our
dear Congressmen likes more solid
food he thinks it alright for the plain
people.
Just soup for Farmers and working
folks. Presidents come and Presi
dents go, but just soup for the great
working class. Some soup thick and
some thin but just soup for those
who toil. This summer I have seen
many women of this grand old State
toiling in the fields. Mothers with
their little children helping husband
and fathers work. Not in a nice com
fortable room with electric fans, but
in the fields under a broiling sun or
handling tobacco in the rain and
heavy August dews. Working for soup
just soup. These mothers and their
daughters who go out in the fields
and toil day in and day out for just
soup are the best between the rising
and setting sun. They are so much
better than the rich—the idle rich fe
males that they seem like the angles
of eternal light while the other class
may be likened to the concupiscent
bats that flap their dirty wings in
the foul atmosphere of everlasting
darkness. This Summer I have seen
babies too small to walk, out in the
fields under a bush, lying on an old
quilt cared for by the kneebaby, while
the mother and the other children
helped with the farm work. What
fosr? Jut soup. A little thicker than
Hoover’s soup, but just soup.
The Reynolds Tobacco Company, i
paid Clay Williams a salary last year
of sixty thousand dollars, and that is
not a drop in the bucket to what he
got last year and has been getting
for many years. But just this one
man getting sixty thousand dollars
as head of one tobacco company and
the mothers and daughters of North
Carolina farmers doing a man’s work
in the fields to make that tobacco and
are compelled by this grand and
glorious administration to live on
soup—just soup.
This administration was asked by
the debt burdened farmers of out
country to make the Frazier. Lemke
bill a law, -but it would not. The best
thing our last unlamented Legisla
ture did was to ask the Congress to
pass that bill, yet not a man from this
State in Congress did any thing to
get it passed. Had it been made law
farmers could have got money tu pay
their debts at 1 1-2 percent interest
and only 1 1-2 percent on the prin
cipal. And even then the farmer would
be paying more than his banker pays,
for his banker can get a thousand dol
lars for only 27 cents for a year. The
only reason our Congressmen would
not support the Frazier-Lemke bill,
is, under the present law, that lends
money to farmers, the rich bankers
are getting a big rakeoff, while un
der the Frazier-Lemke bill they will
not get a cent. Congressman have a
deep sympathy for bankers, and the
richer they are the more they feel
for them. Yet they do not seem to
care a rap for the North Carolina
mothers and daughters who are toil
ing in the fields like men for just
soup.
The farmers of this country owe
more than eight billion dollars we
are told. If they borrow this huge
amount from the Federal Reserve
bank, as many are doing at present,
or have done, when it is paid at the
end of thirty-nine years he banks will
get as their share of the rakeoff more
than six billion dollars of farmers
money, Whereas under the Frazier.
Lemke bill they will not get a cent,
nor will the government be out a cent.
Furthermore when the Frazier-
Lemke bill becomes law more than
two billion dollars will be scattered
around in this country so that these
dear good faithful mothers and daugti
ters will not have to do the rough
work of a man in the fields for just
; oup.

TODAY’S YESTERDAYS
Sept. 12, 1686 -John Alden died at
87 in Duxbury, Mass., having outlined
all the other signers of the Mayflow
er compact. He had been the young
est of the signers, although he wasn’t
a Pilgrim.
He hadn’t in fact, intended remain
ing in the Plymouth colony when he
left England. In those days, any ship
carrying casks out of England had
to guarantee their return, and Alden,
a cooper, was hired just before the
Mayflower sailed, to build during the
voyage the casks the Pilgrims plan
ned to retain.
Neither of the most famous May
| flower Myles Standisib
and John Alden, was a Pilgrim!
Sept. 12, 1787 —New York ratified
the Constitution and became the 11th
State, exactly 186 years to the day
after Henry Hudson began his ex
plorations of it.
The flags of France, Netherlands
and Britain had flown over it before
it became American. For you re
wrong if you believe Hudson was the
first European to find the river that
now hears his name.
Today. 309 years after the Dutch
bought Manhattan Island from In
dians for $23, there’s still an Indian
reservation within sight of New York
City, and Indians living on Manhat
tan Island itself.
September 12, 1788 Alexander
Campbell was born in county Antrim.
Ireland, destined to come to Pennsyl
vania as a Presbyterian minister and
become co-founder with his father of
the Disciples of Christ. (Membership
today; 1,500,000). For a long time the
sect was known as Campbellites.
The sect originated 125 years ago
this month, in the formation of a
small congregation at Brush Run.
Washington country, Pa. It attached
itself for a time to the Baptists, broke
away again after two years.
Sept. 12. 1818 -Richard Gatling was
horn in Hertford, N. C., destined to
become one of the greatest of Ame
rican inventors, and one of the least
known.
He was 43 when he evolved the first
successful machine-gun. Its use be
gan in the ar Between the States
against Gatling’s own South. Nearly
all European countries were employ
ing it before he died.
More important to the peace of the
world, however, he developed the
wheat-drill, a hemp-breaker, a motor
plow and did more than any other
man to secure the wise adoption of
drill husbandry in his country.
Ironically, this inventor of the ma
chine-gun is buried in the same ceme
try and near John Dillinger.
Sept. 12, 1866 —The chorus girl, the
stage-door Johnny and the world of
illusion called “Broadway” had their
twenty million families had incomes
of less than twenty-five hundred dol
lars, while in that same year sixty
seven thousand families had incomes
of mQre than fifty thousand dollars.
Some of these last named families
made a million dollars. Still I have
seen with my own eyes, in this year
of grace, women as good as ever left
the hand of the Creator, working in
the fields of the grand Old North
State, for just soup, Soup a little
thicker than Hoover’s soup, but just
soup.
There is just one reason, my deai
fellow worker, why the few things I
have tried to enumerate above does
not grate on your nerves as much as
they do on mine. If you will take a
little time to investigate conditions
in our country you will agree with
me absolutely. If you are content to
live on a diet of just soup your cast
is hopeless, if you are satisfied to see
noble men and women and dear girls
and boys giving their very life’s blood
for just soup, you cannot be made
aehame. And may God have mercy
on a human being who can not blush.
What a blessing there are many
who can blush, who are ashame of
our present plight. We can change
things if we will organize. It is our
only hope for better things.
If half the farmers of North Caro
lina will join the Grange this year
and remember that the Grange was
made for farmers and not farmers for
the Grange, every man sent to Con
gress from the State next year will
vote for the Frazier-Lemke bill, and
a farmer cost of production bill, and
will stand 'by the hundred and sixty
odd true friends of the farmer in the
the last session of Congress, for all
they may want to do for agriculture.
Congress made a few able to get all
the wealth of this country, now it Is
up to those who work and are tirea
of such doings to send men to Con
gress to put the wealth of the coun
try in the hands of those who pro
duce it, where it so rightfully be
longs.
Selfish ignorance is all that keeps
farmers and working folks from join
ing some organization that will help,
like nothing else, to give them a de
cent living. So it is a Christian,
neighborly duty for those who have
some light to shed some beams on
those not so well blessed. The signs
of the times show that this one hun
dred and fifty year old soup, fed to
farmers and workers by each new ad
ministration is not setting well on
some stomachs, and I pray to God the
day is not far distantw hen it will
nauseate all who even taste it.

New York, revealing 100 lissom Ame

TIIE WORLD WAR 20 YEARS
AGO TODAY
Sept. 12, 1915—Von Moltke the eld
er once said he could see a dozen
ways of invading England, but not
one for getting away.
Their campaign there with the
French had been the worst failure in
British military history, and there
now was no hope of capturing Con
stantinople and unsealing the Black
Sea. The Allies were holding them
selves in the Anafarta region solely
by virtue of an immense artillery
fire superiority, supported by 40 war
ships, cruisers and destroyers.
Physical withdrawal of the expedi
tionary force was in itself forseen to
be an operation of tremendous deli
cacy and peril. And the effect on the
whole political and strategic position
of the Allies in the war obviously
would be grave. For it would plain
ly acknowledge defeat, and it would
release a Turkish army for operations
elsewhere.
Yet withdrawal there had to be.
You’re in error if you suppose—
That all crabs produce the shells in
which they live.
The well known “hermit” crab does
not. It either finds an empty one
or steals one.
That gun-fire can be made to pro
duce rain.
The perfect proof that booming of
lig guns doesn’t shatter clouds is that
:he five war years in Europe were
not unusually rainy, comparing them
with the longtime average.
