JUNE 7TH. 1934 — ‘An Independent Newspaper.’ "For Heaven’s sake, let no one imagine that The News and Courier commits itself to all the proposals and operations of the New Deal. Not yet Is it bound tp the wheel of any nfan’s chariot. It is still an independent newspaper—somewhat.” This from The News and Courier in partial re ply to an editorial in last week’s issue of The People-Sentinel. But didn’t The News and Courier contend that the Palmetto prohibitionists in the State Democratic Convention could not vote to endorse the Roosevelt ad ministration unless they likewise voiced their approval of the repeal of the 18th Amendment? Perhaps they are still independent prohibitionists— somewhat. No, We Are Not “Reds”—Yet. "Is The People-Sentinel contending that the production of the strong and capable and of the weak and less ef ficient should be lumped together and divided equally among all the people? If so* it ia converted to the Russian sys tem. We think it is far from that.” —The News and Courier. The Newg and Courier knows that The People-Sentinel makes no such contention and at Jeast one of “three or four or five editors” is cor rect in thinking that we have not been “converted to the Russian system.” The only contention that we have ever made along this line is that the farmer is entitled to a larger share of the national income than he hag been get ting in the past and that fact has won many “converts” in the past few County Superintendent of Education.

Let The News and Courier get us straight on this once and for all We still believe that “the laborer is worthy of his hire"—be he farm hand or editorial writer or movie actor or what have you—and if the farmer cannot get a decent return for his labor and investment without govern ment supervision, then we are “Red to the extent that we approve of Piysident Roosevelt’ 8 efforts to bring about a return of farm prosperity. Certainly we do not favor a continua tion of the system that enabled “four (per cent, of the people to control 80 per cent._of the wealth” of this c^ui): try. If that be treason, then let The News and Courier and it s “three or four or five editors” make the most of it. Will This Be Another Year Without Summer 1934 Weather Recalls the Year 1816, When There Were Ice and Front in July. . Is 1934 to be a repetition of 1816? The unreasonable weather experienc ed so far this year recalls the freak twelve month s of more than a century ago, when there was ice the year round and the average temperature was only 49. The Union (N. C.) Re publican make s the following corn- meat on what happened in “the year without e summer”: Now that things have begun to jfchaw out after some old-fashioned cold weather, here’s something to think about before concluding that warm days are here again: There was no summer in the year 181C. TTiere’s no trick to it, and North Carolina suffered along with the rest of Eastern America. But if you don’t believe it, look up some old newspaper^-er talk the matter over with some meteorological experts Who also know their history. Everything went wrong that year -aa far as the seasons were concerned. January and February were mild, more or less; it wa s cold as blue biases throughout March; April start ed off with the usual showers and sunshine, but ^nded up with snow and ice; ice was an inch thkk in many sections of Eastern United States most of May; June was cold, and frosts were commonplace; there was ice and frost in July; August was something of a nightmare, and corn and other crops were utterly ruined; September furnished two week s of pleasant weather, then it got cold acain; October was cold; November was really wintry in every respect, with snow and sleet storms; and De cember turned out to be perhaps the most comfortable month of die year. ThaV* a record for borne modern year to shoot at, although such an in vitation hasn’t been formally extend ed. Of course, there were no detailed ohrervatoiV records such eg are kept confirmation of the sum- but fc merless year of 1816 there are news paper accounts and there are diaries and the recollections of responsible chroniclers. One newspaperman, writing under the name of R. H. Martin in a Virginia paper in the past century, made a study of phenomenal 1816. There was ice the year round, he |wys, and the average temperature for the entire twelve months was 49. There was widespread suffering, be- cmwe^- no crops developed and the scarcity of provisions became acute. It wa s recorded that scarcely a vege table was grown north of the Poto mac, and very few in Virginia and the Carolihas. -Xbm-waa planted and replanted, and the seed rott&f in the ground. Fruits ted in t were destroyed by frost and freezing weather. Transportation in those days wasn’t anything to brag about, so the cities of the north robbed of their local truck farming, suffered a great deal for want of food.
