So the matter stands just where ‘it etartfed, the governor Continuing to take a political position he cannoit jus tify by any sensible reasoning. The row reverts itself into a personal mat ter and enmity in which the governor’s smallness is being magnified. CONGRATULATIONS, JOANNA The Joanna baseball team of Gold ville, holding a. berth in the Centr^ Carolina Textile league, cloo^ a great .season last Saturday aft^raoon with a victory that gave it thd league championship. In the fir^^^^ ^be season the team walkea away with their opponents, while Watts mill came back »trong/in the second half to capture firstypiace. The “little world aeries,” arrenged to pick the final winner, resulted in Joanna bringing home th^ bacon before a large and en- thusi^tic crowd of fans. Ioanna played a fast brand of ball ^or the season. Congratulgtions are in order to the team, to Manager Bruce Galloway, and to the loyal fans^of the community who gave tlte home team a 'loyal and enthusiastic support throughout the season. TOUdlES US ALL Nothing could more effectively dem- turbed social and ecooo%ic_system. I — . ...i.A.111 CONGRESS SPEEDS UP ’The prolonged session of Congress recently coming to a close, was the subject of both commedatiofi ei^ criti cism throughout the country. There was a general feeling everywhere, however, that a winding up of its bus iness and adjourning without attempt ing, further legislation would be the wise thing to do and have^a tendericy to put to an end much unrest and un certainty, and place business on a more stabilized basis. The body was spoken of by many as lethargic, slow- moving, dead on its feet, and not knowjpg what it was about, but "aim- le^ly driftilig. While that was doubt less true as affecting the entire ses sion, it was not true in the closing days when the members were anxious to get home to look after their po litical fences. Instead there wa.s a burst of activity and'a speeding up as revealed n the following far-reaching legislation passed during the closing hours. 4t passed the banking bill, a com promise between the administration and such conservatives as Senator Carter Glass. The government will control the banks under the bill, but the administering board will be as non-political as possible. Passed the $250,000,000 "soak the rich” tax bill, much in the form firs^ 'a.sked by the prevsident. Pa.s.sed the bitterly debated Utility Holding Company bill, though there considerable difference of opinion to what'the bill really provides, IS as with a fight expected on the question onstrate to cvcrybotly the fact that [of-its constitutionality. war or even the threat of war involv ing one of the major Western nations, touches the inlere.st of every other na-'try. Pa.s.sed the bill setting up a “little NRA” for the. bituminous coal indus- tion ami of all of their i>eople, than the excite^ment and concern now being exhibited in all of the world’s capitals oyer the que.5tions which have been rai.sed by the advance of Italy upon Ethiopia. Italy is more than 3,000 miles from the United [States and Ethiopia is still farther away, yet the-question of our own neutrality and of what our gov ernment should do toward cooperating to prevent the war is a vital and im portant one. It is one thing to talk about prohibiting the .sale of war sup^ plies to one or both belligerents in a 'J^APS LEGISLATORS war. It is quite another thing to make' The News and/CourJef~of Sunday, such prohibition effective. ^ *''^arried a statement (accompanied ^y Passed a rrieasure giving the federal government controLover liquor, made necessary by the supreme court’s abo lition ef the old NRA". “ Passed a bill placing a ban against gold-damage suits after January first. Passed a bill providing interstate compacts to restrict crude oil produce tion. Much of this new legislation is ex- pecetd to face stubborn opposjHon be fore becoming effective because of the doubt of its constitutioni^ity. What'are war supplies? Canada has announced that she will not dump her wheat reserves on the market but will hold theilT tn The“exiH'ctation of "high prices, because of this war. Wheat is a war supply, no less than byllets or gunpowder. We earnestly hope that our nation will not become involved in any way that will further strain our r^ations with Italy and the rest of the world, but w.e ^lieve it would be in tlae in terest of every American for our state department to Ijend all the moral sup port possible to the efforts which the other great nations are making to -avert this silly and .senseless war.

SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN -School days'are here again after the usual summer vacation' period. In the United States this month thirty mil lion children are flocking -bac4 ta4he public schools, besides the great num ber who will go to the church schools and private schools of alt kinds'. Thirty million promising youngsters gsjtting ready to take the places of as .many 4ldsters-in a few years.-^Hiis is as many people are there are in all Poland, more than'in Belgium, almost as many as in England. And we are spending, we who pay taxes, about ninety dollars a^ear average for the educMon in the public schools of every child. ^ The future of the United States of America, as every thoughtful person must understand, lies in the hands of these youngsters. It is therefore, of the highest importance to give attan- ioB to what they are taught in school and to the men airi women responsible for their training. Much n heard of subversive teach ing cresfxing into many of the public schools, especially in the larger cities. This is not true true in the small towns and rural districts. Fortunately, the fu; indi^ry are still jority of Impo schools much « his picture) from J. Donnam Wither- »l>oon, mem^r of the legrislature from this county, in which he raps thejegi;s- lators 4nd brands them as a group of loafers. He is one of the martyrs, it will be remembered, who refused to accept the “extra pay” and is extreme ly critical of his colleagues who took the extra change for overtime. In dis cussing the length of the past session, Mr. Witherspoon stated that one rea son'was that “the legislature met only a part of the day for four days each w^ and that.it spent-a great part of the time at moving pictures on free passes and at barbecues and parties all aroiMHl.” From this^ statement we take it that this hard-working legis lature-man did not attend any of the numerous sociri functions arranged for the distinguished law-makers. 'Condemning the legislators as he doesy thb^ public - takes it that Mr; Witherspoon holds himself exempt from siMh criticism. Well, it’s ex tremely refreshing to know lhat there was at least one member in the body who ibally loves to work and just wouldn’t follow the crowd. Mr. Witherspoon ia_jdead right—^ there was too much loafing and wast-^ ing of time which meant piling up of expense and extravagance.
