C., under act of Congress March t, 1171 All articles submitted for publication most he signed by the author TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1950 Poor Old North Carolina Former United States Senator Robert R. Reynolds of North Carolina, has an nounced that he will oppose Senator Frank Graham in the Democratic primary in May. The voters of North Carolina will have a “Hobson’s choice’’ to make in this race. It can at least be said of Senator Reynolds,"'however t that he is not a “pink.’’ Capus M. Waynick has announced that he will not oppose Senator Clyde R. Hoey, who will be up for re-election this year. This is somewhat surprising because in view of North Carolina’s nose dive in the political^world in recent years, it was hardly thought that a man of the high caliber of Senator Hoey could be re-elected without opposition. As a matter of fact Senator Hoey is about the last of the distinguished North. Carolinians of former years now promi nent in the political life of the state. Most of them have been relegated to the rear during the socialistic upturn in that state. The political metamorphosis of North Carolina has been one of the most shock ing in the history of the nation. For many years that state had held it* feet safely to the ground in matters political and had selected its very ablest men to fill the Governor’s chair, and to represent it in Washington. Its first serious political slip came when -it elected Bob Reynolds to the Senate a good many years ago, the slihe Bob Rey* nolds who now seeks to unseat Senator Graham. Just to show :ho\$tJorth Caro lina has slipped many of the people in that state liho held up their hands in horror when Reynolds was elected may now support him against Graham, as the lesser of two evils. It was two years ago, (however, when the state hit a new low in politics and elected its present Governor, who is of the Huey Long type. The present Governor has just about succeeded in removing all of the men who had long served the state faithfully and efficiently from public life. When one thinks of North Carolina one cannot but think of how the mighty have fallen. The Need of the Hour Columbia is preparing for the greatest evangelical campaign since the one con ducted by the late Billy Sunday twenty- five years ago. Under the leadership of Billy Graham, the campaign will get un der way on Feb. 19, and will continue so long as is deemed advisable and neces sary. Evangelist Graham, who seems*to be developing into a present-day Billy Sun day, <has had remarkable success in many big campaigns, notably one which he re cently held in Los Angeles. Surely the nation is in need of a great revival of religion. General Dwight Eisen hower was quoted as saying recently that “without a moral regeneration throughout the world, there is no hope for us as we are going to disappear one day in the dust of an atomic explosion.” Roger Babson,- the noted economist, has said several times that only a revival of religion can save us H. G. Wells was quoted the other day as saying that “the end of everything we call life is close at hand.” And General Groves has warned us that the United States is in danger of (Complete annihila tion. Discussing General Eisenhower’s state ment, Dr. Robert G. Lee, the noted Baptist divine, said in a recent article: “What sort of a world ia this—in which we need a great moral regeneration and spiritual awaken ing? It la -a world in which multitudea id eWy- walk of ific are struggling blindly through the maze of circumstancea, or, giring up, are a Hawing them- Some More New Deallsm “Bufiness,” says the Christian Science Monitor, °is paying a high cost in jetiring many of its people at 65, for the skills they represent are thereby wasted. The length of life and the duration of productive years in the United States are constantly increas ing. Fixfng the retirement age arbitrarily at 65 is in many cases thoughtless and poor judgment. The man and woman of 65 who can still do a first-class job. either in his old position or a new one, has value to his employer and deserves better than being automatically cast aside.” The retirement of men at the age of 65 is another one of the sorry products of the New Deal. It was one of* Mr. Roosevelt’s “bright” ideas which swept the country. * k y Many of the best and most productive workers in this country are well over 65 years. There are many men over 65 who can do more and better work than many men now a days in their 30s and 40s. Every man should be judged not by his age but by his ability, physical and mental, to work. As the Christian Science Monitor says ’business is paying a high cost in adopting the plan of automatically retiring a man at 65. Great Scott! Vice President Barkley is Quoted a s saying at the “Democratic” conference in Raleigh last Saturday that Governor Scott of North Carolina is “a great Democrat and a great Governor.” Great Scott!!

HDifft- culty and unrest face ail the world—industrial, political, national, international—as never before. The history nations are making aeems to be a huddle of dlslocationa, a conglomerate maaa of un relatedness. The life of nations is a kettle of porridge that boils with bubbles and angry plops —and may boll over the sides and scald the world. Unbelief, with legions arrogant and assertive, ia rampant. Stolid indifference, like the Impenetrable fog of a wintry night, settles on the spiritual land scape. In finny churches, there is the powerful trend toward modernism and worldliness—and a strong revdlsion toward evangelistic preaching. In many schools, as tens of thousands of students can testify, is the q^altalkra of unbelleviggs. Science above the Word of God. Many In the ship of life are tolling in their rowing’ (Mark 1:481—mating little headway against the winds that are 'contrary unto them.’ Churches uot a few suffer from apostate leadership and inward betrayal. And many church people have not learned that the world will never be saved by the substitution of a social program for a redemptive program. “Our land has a wave of aex horrors which causes nation-wide apprehension and Indignation. Ti e magnitude of the problem, with maniacal sex perverts running loose, ia ao great some statesmen say the electric chair or noose should be readied for extra use. "Ono does not have to be the driver of a garbage wagon to say that the underworld is getting the upper hand—trying to I'lde rough-shod over everything in churchy-home, state and school that dors not aid In debauching mankind for money. One should not be called a pessimistic photographer of rotten spots when he says that today spiritual mercy falls'low while black snow falls—that today Faith’s wings are clipped by reason's scissors—that today a licentious social atmosphere prevails—fhat today there Is the administration of laughing gas for the painless extraction of tin—that today men 'loose wild tongues that hold not God In awe'—that today there Is an Intellectual recoil against any emotional expression and the very obvious inade- guacyot rationalism as a substitute--that today there are spiritual latitudes as wide as.Sahara desert and correspondingly dry—that today there In a skeptical attitude toward the supernatural— that today ohr lame, hleeding, nnregeeerate hu manity is set down in the midst of palaces, arts, philosophies, educational institutions, scientific mar vels. political panaceas, and legalised boose—and remains a bedraggled beggar still. “Judge Cavanaugh, of the Superior Court of Chicago, once said: ‘We have confined in the United States more killers than we have clergymen of all denominations, or all male teachers in all schools, or all lawyers, judges, and magistrates put together.' “This, with an acknowledged inadequacy, we say Is the sort of woyld In which we need a sweepingly mighty spiritual revival." It ia good to note signs of an awakening all over the nation to the fart that we need D»vine guidance now—that it is all that can save us. It may be—let us hopejso at any rate—that we have struck bottom in this nation spiritually and we will now begin the climb upward again. America has missed the great evange lists of former years—Dwight L. / Moody, Billy Sunday, Sam Jones, Wilbur Chap man* George Troett and others who waged incessant war on sin. Our nation has de clined since these men have passed on. Billy Graham seems to be the first one who has come along in years to gain na- nal fame. r The evangelical campaign in Columbia be followed with great interest all over South Carolina. It may be the-spark all of “ - The argument last week in the Geoarai Assembly over a bill to require the Governor to make known the names of the colonels on hit staff broughf to our mind the old, old story of some Northern toarista who were visiting in the South in the days before the first World war and at a time when we had lots of honorary “colonels.’’ Theae tourists were out visiting old Southern colonial homes. They drove up to one particularl? hand some one and there they were greeted by an old negro servant. “Who lives her#?” they asked the cld negro. “Col. George Smith, Bah,” he replied. Thinking to have seme tun out of the old negro, the tourists asked, ''Colonel in whose army?" “He ain’t no cqlonel in anybody’s army,” replied the old negro, “he's just a natchel-born colonel.” Another one of life's mysteries is how a wife always knows when her husband is telling her a fib. A New York woman complains that her husband* hasn't spoken a word in her presence in seven years. Perhaps, he hesitates to. Interrupt her. Yqu can take that Moscow state ment that the largest salt mine in the Soviet Union has met its prod taction quota two months ahegd of schedule with a grain of salt, j The Hydrogen bomb may be the bomb to end all bombs. What has become of the old fashioned mother who thought the famUy’s place was at home? If the government does take orer control of everything it is going to have lots of trouble with some children we know. According to a writer a devil fish may weigh as much as 4.000 pounds.

Monroe Smith has been named chaplain of the South Carc*Ina penitentiary to succeed the Rev. Clyde R. Hahn, who re signed. Col. Wyndham M. Manning, superintendent of the penitentary, announced yesterday. The Rev. Mr. Smith was born February 8. 1907, to Wilmington, N C. On July 21. he married Miss Myra HoweU of West Columbia.

He has preached in many Baptist churches, was chaplain of the women’s divi sion of the South Carolina peniten tiary for six years and was superin tendent of Union Rescue Mission for Transient Men for seven years.

But |t has to depend on tne malls to git it to its subscribers A Minneapolis, Minn., woman testifying in behalt of her hus band th# other day, admitted on cross-examination that he beaL-her up occasionally but said outside of that he was a perfect husband. And that brings to mind the story of the two traveling salesmen who were talking in a hotel lobby one night. One was suffering of nostalgia and kept on bragging on his wife, enumerating many of her fine qualities. /'Do you mean to tell me that your wife doesn't have a single fault?” asked the other salesman who was getting fed up on so much conversation. "Well.” -replied-tha first, “if she has even the slightest semblance of a fault it is that she cusses too loudly when she's drunk." > Most of those people whose heads are in the clouds are light headed. “The government cannot con-„ tinue deficit financing indeffnlte- ly." says Hbuse Speaker Rayburn. But judging from the way he stands by the President. Speaker Rayburn evidently must think it can continue for his lifetime. We still think of General Dwight Elsenhower as a big Ike. There was one thing about the horse and buggy days. When you took a horse to the blacksmith to have shoe* put on, the blacksmith didn't find a whole list of other things that ought to be done.
