What lime they are not flooded in these days with crime news, they are whelmed with accidents. Newspapers are very much like a department atore in one respect. They must carry a customary line of staple goods, but they must also specialize on the seasonals. Crime and fatalities are the seasonal*. They muat be printed when they happen or not at all, and the newspapers will be delighted to omit their publication just the moment the public makes up Its mind it Is not going to create auch news.?Julian 8. Miller in Charlotte (N. C.) Observer. WHKItK IX) JOBS COMB FROM? In a recent newspaper article, Richard Washburn Child, former Ambassador to Italy, and a noted author, pointed out that there are only two sources of jobs and payrolls: One source is government. The other is industry. Jobs can be provided by government in but two ways. Either all businesses must /be nationalized and operated by a bureaucracy, or government must continually borrow more money, raising taxes all the while, in order to put idle people to work. Under the first, government will inevitably become communistic in principle. The worker is a tool of the state?.he lives solely to advance the interst of political ruling class. H is regarded Ifs a machine, to be worked as cheaply as possible until he wears out?and then he is thrown into a human scrap heap. Under the second, all m:.y be merry for /a while?until government's .source of credit dries up. It becomes impossible to raise more money through taxes- businesses and indi- j viduals have already been bled white, i Obligations cannot be met?and gov- i eminent goes into bankruptcy. One of these plans must inevitably ! be followed if we depend upon govern- 1 ment to permanently provide us with work and livelihood. But it seems impossible that the American people will pursue that Utopian will-o'-thowisp. It's more likely that they know, as 'Mr. Child says: "The steady job will come from American enterprise?im- | proved?with a new breath of life, i Nowhere else!"?.Industrial'News Review. WHEN THE FTREENGINBS GO BY Most of us have never outgrown h thrill of excitement at seeing the fire engines roar by. The hurtling red apparatus, the scream of the siren, and the sight of the gleaming equipment, is the stuff that makes for vivid drama. We might enjoy the spectacle less, however, if we stopped to realize that we are paying the bill for that engine iind for the fire it is going to. The j cost of maintaining and operating fire departments is an essential and major j item in every municipal budget?and j the more prevalent tires are, the j more '.he department eosts. And here's a fact that may come as j a surprise u> the bulk <>f citizens? ! we all must chip in to pay for the property which is destroyed or damaged when tire sweeps through it. We pay our share in a number of ways. One of the ways is through higher insurance costs?the rate in any community, over a period of time, is based upon the amount of fire loss. If the fire happens to affect a factory, men are thrown out of work, investments arc lost or impaired, and the entire community feels the adverse effect of lost purchasing power ar.d destroyed opportunity. Again, in the case of any firo of substantial size, taxable property is eliminated from the tax rolls, and the revenue lost to the 'community must be made up by higher taxes on all other property. Fire prevention is both a duty and an obligation which every citizen owes his neighbor and his community. It is in the interest of everyone?it means actual cash savings to us all. It's fun to watch the fire engines go by?but it isn't so ifTUeh fun to pay the bill.?Industrial News Review. Ar. Italian company building airplanes, will make a determined effort to drive United States builders of the machines out of the Chinese market. With government support Italian builders will try to sell China airplanes at cost. Ambassador Tsuneo Matsudairi of Japan, told Great Britian's foreign secretary this week, that unless England and the United States grant Japan full equality in a naval limitation treaty, that Japan will assume that status without a treaty. THE TWO GREAT EMANCIPATORS In spite of turmoil, strife, turncoatings, and trickery, there U a fascination about national political history leading up to, and after the Civil War. The hand of fate aeems to have been In U. all, and accidents were frequent The Whig party died in 1853. The slavery issue was already accute. The Kansas-Nebraska bill by Steve Douglas, practically repealed the Wilmot Proviso, and fired the Southern beaut against Douglas. In 1854 the Republican party, composed of antislavery Whigs, Free Soilers, and disgruntled Democrats, was launched. The split in the famous 1850 Charleston Convention, not only hilled Douglas, politically, but, with the aid of the split in the triumphirate of Greeley, .Seward and Thuriow Weed, gave Abe Lincoln his chance. A regular thedley of accidents. Abe polled onljf;40 per cent of the popular vote, but, i/? view of the democratic rumpus, got the electoral votes. His election brought on the war, and all its woes. It did more. It mounted the new Republican party into the aaddle for a long and happy continuous ride of 24 years. During that struggle, Abe unconstitutionally freed the negro, and became the gTeat Emancipator. /Naturallly that act tied the colored vote to the coat-tails of the Republican party. (Not until 1884 was there a break. And that was another accident. Because of the Mulligan letters. The Burchard charge of "Rum, Romanism, and Rebellion" which sent practically every Catholic into the arms of the Democratic party, Grover Cleveland broke the long Democratic drought. After 4 years he was defeated by Benjamin Harrison, a slow, old glacial coach, whom Cleveland defeated in 1802 by I the strange aid of the Populist party. After 1806 there was another Democratic hunger period of 14 years, when the feud between Teddy Roosevelt and Taft opened the door of the public crib to Woodraw Wilson, Democrat. Another of those accidents. Wilson was reelected, by the skin of the teeth in 1016, on the slogan: "He kept us out of war." From 1020 to 1932 there were 12 more lean years for the Democrats. The poorest president (Hoover) and the greatest depression since the aftermath of the Civil War, hoisted 1 ranklin D. Roosevelt to the Presidential throne. In the meantime thi colored brother, through all the years, was clinging to the rails of the old Republican boat. From 1032 on, the manna from the Democratic heaven began to fall into the mouths of Hani's sons and daughters, as never before, in the history of the world. That "40 acres and a mule" never did materialize. The Republican crumbs that dropped on the colored man's table were soon gobbled up by the ringed and streaked leaders of the tieless Joe Tolbert Stripe. This was all changed after 1032. The good old mirage of getting something for nothing had come at last in reality. The colored brethern, over the south especially, were being deluged with the bulk of free rations, free treatment, and sundry other blessings. The millenium had dawned. Another Emancipator had appeared on the scene. After 75 long years, P ranklin D. Roosevelt emancipated the negro from the clutches of the Republican %political slavery. Thus does history repeat itself. The negro, in the hands of Abe Lincoln, killed the Democratic party. In 193-f,' in the hands of Franklin Roosevelt, trie negro killed the Republican party. Through all the decaying Democratic years there were signs of life in the old Donkey. On the other hand the Republican Elephant is stone dead and dragged to the boneyard for a long and needed rest.?Calhoun Times. Mary Grady, negress, is credited with killing a deer with a rake, when she found the animal asleep in her back yard at Castle Hayne, N. C. The municipality of Decatur, Ga., doesn't owe any money except current months bijls, and has $10,448.61 to its credit. Miss Josephine A. Roche, Colorado mine owner, has been appointed an assistant secretary of the treasury, a new post and one that concerns solely the public health and the welfare of the treasury department's 15,000 employes. General Denain, minister of air for France, is asking the parliament air committeo for approximately $230,000,000 to modernize the French air ' eet so as to outstrip Germany's 'formidable" force of "swifter and more modern planes." An eight-ton tank, capable of making 50 to 60 miies over rough country roads, is the newest monster of war developed and tested by the war department thru Washington streets and over the Memorial highway this week. Vice President Garner, while hunting deer in the wilds of southwest Texas, became lost. He climbed & tree to try to see where he was. He /ell out of the tree when a limb broke And wrenched his knee. He was not more than 300 yards from his camp. Also he killed a ten point bock during the hunt. , Eligibility To Vote On Bankhead Act Kights of individuals to vote in the Bankhead Act referendum which will be held in l>ecember will be determined in accordance with the provisions of the act itself, according to County Agent Green, who explains the provisions of the act which govern eligibility to vote. "An eligible voter," he says, "is any person who signed a 1934 and 1935 cotton acreage reduction contract, any person who is or was eligible for tax-exemption certificates in 1934, any person who presents proof that he owns and has a right to produce cotton on a cotton farm, or any person who signs and files a witnessed, written statement that he has made arrangements to produce cotton on a cotton farm in 1935 by entering into a lease or share-cropping agreement." In case ownership and the right to produce cotton on a cotton farm are held jointly by two or more persons, all such persons are entitled to vote. The terip "cotton farm" means any farm on which cotton has been; produced commercially one or more years since 1927. Individuals who are in doubt about their eligibility to vote can obtain information from the, community committee, which have a list of eligible voters. Individuals not listed as eligible voters muy be permitted to vote, but ballots cast by such individuals will be placed in sealed envelopes bearing the name of the voter and the notation, "Challenged." Final determine-! tion of eligibility will then be made by the county committee without opening the envelopes containing challenged votes. If it is found that a challenged vote has been cast by an eligible voter the envelope will be opened and the vote counted; otherwise, the envelope will remain sealed but will be preserved along with all other records of the referendum. No individual will be allowed more than one vote even though he may be eligible in more than one community or more than one county. Many Farms Being Saved For Owners Columbia, S. C., Nov. 26.?Thousands of farmers in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida will spend Thanksgiving Day on their own farms and under the roofs of their own homes, who have been enabled to do so by the refinancing program of the Federal I>and Bank of Columbia, according, to Julian H. Scarborough, general agent of the Farm Credit Administration of Columbia. "Two years ago," said Mr. Scarborough, "these farmers faced what appeared to them to be a hopeless' situation. Loss of their farms, on which some of them had lived their whole lives, seemed inevitable. They appeared to be helpless victims of an economic depression unparalled in the history of this country and from which the farmers have been among the greatest sufferers. "Over 50,000 farmers in the four states comprising this district have secured loans from the Federal i*and Bank of Columbia and the Land Bank Commissioner since June 1, 1033, totaling over $80,000,000. They used 83 cents out of every dollar they borrowed to repay old creditors. In many cases the loans provided farmers with means to repaf such creditors and to avoid foreclosure. "The bank not only made new loans to farmers to enable them to refinance their debts at a lower rate of interest on terms extending over a long period of years but also extended past due debts to it to thousands of them who were unable to meet their payments, and reduced rates of interest on mortgages already held to 4 1-2 per cent per annum for a 5-year period ending July 11, 1938. J. R. McCarl, federal comptroller general, has made a ruling that relief funds cannot be used for the purchase of home sites or the construction of dwellings. His ruling has blocked a relief grant for low cost housing in the District of Columbia. Striking New York City college students, numbering 500, after engaging in noting with police, on Tuesday burned the figure of President Frederick B. Robinson in effigy at the base of the campus flagpole. The noting had its inception when a month ago 21 students were expelled for staging an anti-fascist demonstration during a visit of Italian students. The Georgia supreme court has ruled that alimony is an obligation that cannot be discharged by bankruptcy. Dr. Samuel Green, former KKK. official, sought to obtain an injunction to prevent enforcement of a judgment for $1,450, representing past due alimony claimed by his divorced wife. The doctor's move was not successful. ? The Carnegie Corporation has donated $50,000 to the American Bar association, to the end that the association's three-year crusade for a unified national bar and ultimately the improvement of the nation's laws and their administration. Many Attended Meeting At a meeting called by Henry D. Green, County Agent, for the farmer* of Kertihaw county to asaemble in the Court House in Camden on Friday, November 16, there was a very large and representative body of the formers over the codnty present. The pur-: pose of the nteeting was to discue* the Bankhead Act and cotton situation generally and to elect delegates to the state convention in Columbia called by the governor. At this meeting Hon, John G, Richards, of Liberty Hill was elected chairman and H. L. Green waa elected secretary. There was a full end free discussion of the subject under consideration. There was some opposition to the Bankhead Act in ita entirety, but a resolution was introduced by L. O. Funderburke to this effect: "Resolved, that we adopt the principals of the 'Bankhead Act, and resolved further, that we call upon Congress to make such amendments i as will more equitably distribute the ( gin allotment so that release may be given to the small farmers." This resolution after thorough discussion as has already been stated, was adopted without a dissenting vote. Mr. Funderburke and Mr. Richards were elected delegates to the convention to be held in Columbia, and L. P. Thompson and H. D. Green as alternates. After a very enthusiastic meeting, before adjournment the following resolution was adopted with reference to the passing of Dr. W. W. Long: "We the farmers of Kershaw County in convention assembled desire to express to Mrs. W. W. Long, our sincere sympathy in the passing of her distinguished husband. We realize as farmers that Dr. Long has been untiring in his efforts to promote our best interest and we feel that through his wise direction and untiring efforts that the Agriculture of South Carolina has been improved and the interest of our people generally have been promoted. Committee: John G. Richards, Cahirman H. D. Green, Secretary. ODD ACCIDENTS When Wallett Conley, a District of Columbia blind man, stumbled against a gas jet he didn't know he had turned it on. So unaware of his danger he remained in the room and was overcome by escaping gas. A Michigan man, Chester Edson, went to his doctor to have a fractured heel X-rayed. He also fractured a collar bone during the examination when a short developed in the apparatus and caused him to be thrown against the wall. His fruit truck caught on fire while he was driving along the streets of New York City and Isaac Horowitz 1 became too excited to stop it. But it needed no stopping. It crashed into a firebox pole, set off at alarm and brought the fire laddies in time to rescue Isaac. Sandor Fabian waa attempting to haul a big fish from the "Blue" Danube river which runs close to his home in Hungary. His foot slipped and he ] fell into and became entangled in his own net where he drowned before help could reach hrm. As an airplane from a Mexican airport landed on a California field, Fred Brown, mechanic, heard a peculiar noise. When he investigated he found a six-foot rattlesnake unwinding itself from the retractable landing gear. A French train crew had stopped and sat down under a shade tree tc eat their lunch (we always wondered why those^trains were behind time). The throttle worked open and the locomotive set out for Parish several miles away where it crashed into a standing train and injured several people.?Pathfinder.
