MAKING NO HEADWAY
Congress .has been in session for
three months. A prominent radio
speaker the other night stated that
this body is now at the cross-road?,
unsettled, confused and ineffective. It
has not enacted a single piece of ma
jor legislation confronting it.
Bringing the accusation closer
liome, what about our own general
assentbly in session since early in
jFi»hmary? It. Hah APPompliahed. little^
and apparently, doesn’t know where it
icrheaded. The people are now think
ing that it would do jwell to adjourn
and go home.
A DIFFICULT JOB
Business is being told to give em
ployment as rapidly as possible to the
unemployed in order to relieve the
government of the heavy relief load
it is how carrying.
But business can’t do it — unstabi-
lited condiitons do not warrant addi
tional overhe^ arid make it impos
sible to take up the slack. Policies and
experiments now emanating from con
gress are calculated in many instances
—to curb, rather than stimulate and de
velops private enterprise. How may
heavily-taxed business be expected to
expand or compete with a tax-free
government now competing with it on
large scales in all lines?

The automobile accident problem
has reached a crucial stage. It has

TRUE TO FORM
The legislature again' runs true to
form by electing two of-its-own mem
bers to the vacancies on the .supreme
court bench.
This practice has In’cn followed for
years and will continue to go on. The
general assembly is dominated by law-
37^*, many of whohlTuse their offTce
to land bettor job.s for themselves.
They are opposed to a change in the
law by which their members would
ht'come irndigihle for the political
places to he filled.
An outsider not a member of the
legislature, ixgardless of ability or
fitness, who offers himself for an of-
be a drunken or reckless driver-it the
steering wheel of a huge piece of steel
moving at. a tremendous speed. Less
than tep per cent of motorists take
chances, a nation report showns—but
that* ten per cent menace us all.
What are we going to do about it,
thousands, are asking? The public
must help answer the question by be
coming aroused and putting into ef
fect a real safety campaign. The
reckless, the drunken must be driven
from the highways. If we are to
achieve this the force of public opin
ion can be even more useful than law.
No matter how good "a state’s traffic
law is, or how efficient and conscien
tious a highway patrol is, it cannot
produce results if the public is in
different^,
Baniah'Vthe drunken, the reckless,
the incompetent driver. It may save
your life, or the lives of loved ones.
Our record is horrible, destroying
as it does, life, health and property.
POWER CONTRACT CHANGES
The ciy’s new power contract,
signed with the Clinton' and’ Lydia
Cotton Mills last December to furnish
current through their new industrial
plant, became effective as of April

existing contract with the Duke Power
c'iompany was terminated and. this con
cern notified that Jts services were no
longer de.sired. The new contract is
said to be drawn along the same lines
as that of the Duke contract and to
protect the city’s interests as to the

W'e noted in ope of the state’s pa

Where was Mr. Gorman? He should
have been on the spot to buy the

LETTER CONTEST CLOSES
The~Chronicle’s letter contest closed
Saturday and we extend congratula
tions to the winners as announced in
today's paper and to those who were
given honorable mention.
Quite a Targe-number of letters
were received during the contest, sev
eral states being represented in the
competition. It was a vai^ difficult
task to select the best letters from
the nearly two hundred submitted
The final decision was made for The
Chronicle by an able and experienced
newspaper man_ from another town,
unacquainted with the contestants.
Reading the letters and studying
them from different ahgles was quite
interesting. For the sentiment and
commendation expressed by our read
ers we are grateful.‘Those of us en-
gaged in producing "The Chronicle will
be spurred on by tlfese words of en
couragement and will strive all the
harder to serve our large family of
readers. It will be our continued de-
v-^'^'lermingtion »to produce for you the
very ^st newspaper possible in a
town the size of ours.
REACHING A CRUCIAL STAGE
R’f avWul—the startling increase in
automobile accidents. Much is being
said daily on' the subject—much cer
tainly ne^ tor be written in an effort
'to eheek the new high in fatalities
*w« are at^inhig each year. Pick up

hectibn
factors to^-the consumer Sre not only
assured, but guaranteed.
The Chronicle gave its endorsement
and assistance in bringing the Duke
Power company into Clinton ten years
ago. The city at that time was suffer
ing and badly handicapped by an ex
cessive flat rate, and an inadequate,
inefficient power supply through its
m\micipally-owned and operated steam
plant. The service^ren^red by the
'Duke interests during this ten-year
period has been excellent,- in fact, al
most perfect. We have had a depend
able service 365 days in the year£with
interruptions a rare thing. T^e Chron
icle knows whereof it speaks, for
while we are not one of the city’s
largest cbhsiijimers of power, we are
one of its most-'Constant users, and
know what conditions have been in
bur plant. Furthermore, the Duke con
nection has made possible local
manufacturing^ates thaW compare
favorably with any in the state, light
ing rates jtlmt with one or two excep
tions, are as low as any community
offers.
The Chronicle, along with many oth
ers, regrets the exit from our commu
nity of the Duke Power company. A
connection with a great hydro-electric
power^company of its kind is an asset
of inestimable value, and can only
make for future growth and develop
ment. The city will always be indebted
to the Duke company for the ex
cellent service it/has rendered, and the
pleasant business relations that have
existed during the years they have
served Clinton. ^
