yet Physically fit
, A newspaper photographer with
more Ingenuity than good manner*
took advantage of the President the
other day in the White House and
anappefl ftim while he removed bit
gtaaaev, knttted th -bfstf ftibbwl bla.
eyes and wrinkled his face.
When the photograph was published,
the uninformed would react at
once to the suspicion that Mr. Roosevelt
had gone to pieces physically.*
Indeed, that was what the picture
was taken for! j
It Is a coincidence that Immediately
prior to this unethical sort of business
on the part of u hostile newspaper,
Mr. Roosevelt's physician had
remarked In a manner to reach the
public that tlie lieallli of the President
is better than at any time since
he became President,
And that lacks little of being a miracle.
No President has ever labored
under slicit u colossal' strain. His
have been the shoulders of an Atlas.
None has ever been more bitterly
tortured by his enemies. He lias suf
fered millions of verbal crucifixions.
There Is but a single accounting for
the phenomenon. Nature may not
liuvo dealt us liberally In some respects
with Mr. Roosevelt as with other
men who have sat upon this American
throne.
Rut nature gave him over-abundance
of that philosophy of life which
makes one cheerful under adversity
and happy amid misery. And nothing
Is surer to keep the arteries from
hardening than Just that.?Charlotte'

GOVERNOR BLACKWOOD
North Carolina Joins with its sister
State in lamenting the death of its
former Governor Blackwood.
On the occasions of his visits to
this State during his tenure of office
the Governor Impressed for his courtesy
and considerutenoss and the practicality
of his democracy.
The exactions of public service are
seldom appreciated by those who have
no avenue of approach to the worries,
vicissitudes and iiarassments or those
who hold high governmental places.
No doubt the pressure laid upon
Governor Rlackwood during his term
of office had no Inslguillcunt part in
undermining his stamina and hastening
him along to what appears to mortal
judgment to be a premature end.

ADOPTS ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN
An intensive newspaper advertising
campaign designed to describe the far
reaching and numerous advantages to
Its patrons of the new, free pick-up
und delivery service for less than curload
freight shipments haH been Inaugurated
throughout the southeastern
states by the Seaboard Alr^LIne
Railway. The new service became
effective February 9.
Previous to the adoption of this
plan it was necessary for shippers
and receivers of freight to take their
shipments to the railroad freight station,
and call there for incoming shipments.
Now, the Seaboard organization
assumes full charge or the complete.
Job?having trucks collect the
shipments at shippers' doors, take
them to the freight station for transfer
to Seaboard freight trains, and
then deliver by truck to the s^cifled
door at destination.
An added feature of this new Seaboard
plan is the nllowunce--tif five
cents per hundred pounds to consignors
or to consignees who prefer to do
their own hauling to and from the
Seaboard station.
C- O. 1). shipments ure also included
m this now plan. This makes possible
for shippers the carrying on of
cash business transactions at practically
every point In the country. '
I he Seaboard has long been noted
for Its progressiveness in providing
its own people?the people of the
South with the flnost in transportation.
This new service follows that
well established precedent, and placet
the Seaboard organization at a person's
command by a mere phono call
to the Seaboard agent or representatlve.

Press Freedom
Upheld By Court
Washington, Feb. 10.?Unanimously
championing continued freedom of
the press, the Supreme court today
invalidated a Louisiana newspaper tax
imposed during the late Huey P.
Long's regime.
A strongly-worded opinion road by
Justice Sutherland held the levy?
Imposed only on largo publications?
was a "deliberate and calculated device"
to restrict the "circulation of
information."
Citing the nation's constitutional
guarantee of a froe press, the court
added that the Louisiana tax was
"suspicious" in form, and levied with
the "plain purpose of penalizing publishers."
. |
The tax 'law?passed in 1934 at
Long's request?required publishers,
both newspaper and magazine, with a
circulation of 20,000 or more weekly
to pay the state 2 per cent of gross
receipts from their advertising.

"Joe Davis, president and 'king

"As publicity director of our organization,
I have suggested that the hoboes
Btart another Coxey's army

Bellinger Rules in '
Favor of Sawyer
Columbia, Feb. 14.?Governor Olin
Johnston suffered hie third court defeat
today In the state highway con!
troverey with the reinstatement of
I Chief Commissioner lien Sawyer and
Issuance of an Injunction preventing
him from pushing removal proceedings
against Sawyer.
Circuit Judge G. Duncan Bellinger
of Columbia, Issuqd an order declaring
the governor's eusyenalon of Sawyer
was "null and void," dismissing
removal proceedings" Johnaton had
brought against him, and permanently
enjoining the governor from seeking
to f^move him.
Johnston, at Waahlngton, declined
to comment but persons clone to him
here said there was a "distinct possibility"
that the order might be appealed
to the Htate supreme court,
which overset his military road regime
last year and now has his pending
appeal from the circuit court reinstatement
of three highway commissioners.
Hoy A. Powell, secretary to the governor
, meanwhile made public two
rulings by Attorney General John M.
Daniel that bore on the highway situation.
One pointed out thut there was no
law under which the governor could
"anticipate" vacancies, apparently
dashing any hope he may have had of
appointing a majority of the highway
commission and having them confirmed
to the state in time to take office
April 15.
The other indicated that 22 state
and approximately 60 county appointments
he made at a special session
last December were invalid for lack
of confirmation.
They Included five nominations to
the highway commission.
Terms of a temporary road board
created by the legislature to serve until
February 20 meanwhile approached
a*i expiration without Immediate
prospects of permanent legislation to
reorganize the commission, and an extension
of the temporary administration
to April 15 was foreseen in some
quarters.
Judge Bellinger in his decision today
ruled in favor of Sawyer on all
three major points in the case before
him, but lawyers said it was dubious
whether Sawyer could step back in
to run the dapartment February 20
under a statute vesting him with full
authority when the commission was
not "in session," in view of the status
of the commission. Johnston has not
decided 10 removal proceedings.
The circuit Judge In effect ruled;
that the executlvo proceeding against
Sawyer took the wrong form, that he
misinterpreted the statute in adjudging
the chief commissioner suspended
and that he was not legally entitled
to prosecute his removal case.
Judge Bellinger expressly provided
In the order that his decision should
not prevent "anyone" fron* bringing
court action against Sawyer "If he
has violated any laws of the State of
South Carolina.
He declined to pass upon the constitutionality
of the statute under
which Johnston suspended the chief
commissioner in a repetition of his
administration-long effort to oust him,
saying It was unnecessary to do so at
present.
Citing the suspension statute,
which authorizes removal for mishan->
dling state appropriations, the judge
said "the governor would not have
the power to remove the officer unless
and until the officer has been
convicted under an indictment rendered
against him."
He commented that "it is clear
from the proceeding had In this matter
that the governor does not deem
the chief highway commissioner as
coming within the purview of the provisions."
The order pointed out that Sawyer
was suspended on two counts, accept-j
lng $550 of ltis salary after the governor
had vetoed the appropriation
for it and approving county highway ;
reimbursement bonds when the governor
construed a statute as forbid-1
ding such action.
"I conclude and hold," the order set
forth, "that the chief highway commissioner
had ample authority to enter
into reimbursement agreements
on behalf of the state highway commission
and various counties of the
state."'
Calling attention to a statute creating
the office of chief commissioner
j and fixing his salary, the order coni
tlnued, "the salary drawn by the
chief highway commissioner . . . was
fixed in accordance with law, an appropriation
for the, payment thereof
was duly provided by the legislature
and by virtue of his appointment Ben
M. Sawyer was -*?ntitlvd to receive)
same."
Judge Bellinger hold that "it isclear
the uuthority to suspend the
chief highway commissioner is, by
law, placduin the state highway commission
and not in the governor."
He said tho commission, which renlected
Sawyer in 1933 to serve to
May 24, 1937, had sole authority over
the chief commissioner with a statement:
? ^
