A CORRECAION.
We wish to state that in last
week’s issue, we stated that the
calandar published consisted of
ail the cases that were to be dis
posed of at the recessed Novem
ber term of court.
In this connection we were in
error, as this calendar only con
tains a list of the criminal cases
that are in order for trial at said
time. The courts order in recess
ing until November 11th, 1935 is
as follows:
Ordered that the court do now
recess to convene again on No
vember 11th, 1935, when all busi
ness will be in order for trial,
including all motions.

OMMENTS

f HERE aho
HEREAFTER*
"Why do young people gooff
from my church to college and
when they return they never
come backtochurch?” a minister
inquired of the writer recently.
Such questions are being asked
all over America. There is a
reason. Much of modern educa
tion leads away from God and
Christianity. The behavioristic
philosophy which has permeated
the educational world and some
times called ‘‘self expression”,
has robbed many young people
of their religious impulses. The
early school teachersin America,
while some of them may not have
been Christians, taught the
philosophy of JesuS —which is a
philosophy of self denial and self
restraint. Modern educational
leaders have accepted the philo
sophy of Satan which says in
substance "Live your own life.
You are the center. You need no
big boss. Do as you please”. That
explains why young people often
come home from college and do
not go to church.
"My pastor never preaches the
gospel Must I support him
financially?’’ a lady inquired one
time. "Does he preach anything
contrary to the gospel?” the
writer asked. "Yes, he preaches
against the blood of Christ, the
virgin birth and every funda
mental of the Christian faith,”
the woman answered. ‘‘lf you
pay a preacher to preach against
the virgin birth of Christ and the
atoning merits of His death and
the other fundamentals of the
Christian faith, then you had just
as well do the same kind of
preaching yourself”, I told the
voman. In the second Epistle of
John we read where the inspired
■ci iter says in substance, "If a
man comes around preaching
false doctrines and you receive
him into your home and bid him
Godspeed, you are just as guilty
is the false preacher”. Chris-
J ins have no right to sacrifice
this Christian principle on the
altar of a false church loyalty.
It is cowardice to support some
thing jou do not believe in.
Personally, the writer has long
ago given up the plan of giving
his money to any organization
which is a party to any machin
ery which propagates a false
gospel. An ecclesiastical machine
which sends a Unitarian and a
Trinitarian with the same autho
rity has been repudiated by
Almighty God.

Talmadge is Flop in The
Mid-West, Editor Says
Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 12 —
Governor Eugene Talmadge,
Georgia’s dynamic governor, a
bitter foe of the Roosevelt ad
ministration, may have some
influence among the farmers of
bis native state, but he couldn’t
create a ripple in the mid west.
That was the statement made
Saturday by 0. L. Brownlee,
editor of the Sioux City, lowa,
Tribune and president of the
Farmers’ Mid West League for
Economic Equality.
Brownlee, attending the Agri
cultural Adjustment Administra
tion’s hearing of cotton men,
termed Talmadge a “criticizer”
who had no program to offer in
lieu of the things he criticized.
He related Talmadge’s trip to
lowa to speak under auspices ol
the Farmers’ Holiday Associa
tion, headed by Milo Reno, whom
he termed a “radical.” He said
Talmadge was unenthusiastically
received by the farmers.
“Quite a number turned out
to hear Hney Long when he came
up,” Brownlee said, “but they
came just to see and be enter
tained more than anything else.
He explained the organization
of the National Farmer’s Com
mittee at Kansas City about
three weeks ago. Ten southern
and several western states were
represented. A representive
from each state was named on
the committee —which aims to
coordinate the interests of
farmers throughout the south
and west.
Mr. Martin Johnson brought
to us one day this week two
potatqes from one hill that tipped
the scales at 18 3-4 pounds. One
of the potatoes weighed 9 3-4
pounds. These potatoes came
from about an acre and a half
patch, which Mr. Johnson states
that he hauld six two horse
wagon loads from. Johnson says
“potatoes, I got ’am”,

0.8. SENTIMENT
IS AGAINST WAR
Washington, Oct. 13. —The one
thing that this nation can thank
God for is that we are not a mem
ber of the League of Nations —
that we did not enter the League
through the side door, the back
door or the cellar door.
If we become embroiled in this
Italo-Ethiopian situation, we are
simply getting our hands dirty
by sticking them into a mudpie.
France, England, Italy, Poland
and Germany— and also Russia—
are trying to get us tangled up in
their own brawls. That is the
sentiment of this nation as I have
found it in my tour and it is fool
ish for anyone to think that the
League of Nations is an organiza*
tions this nation should support.
The League of Nations definite
ly is ended unless it can solve the
present European brawl
In my opinion, the League can
not end this squabble.
France is close to its own Alps-
Italy is on the other side. Great
Britain has its Indian and Afri
can possessions. France is play
ing ball with Poland. Russia has
its plans about Poland and Ger
many.
The thing for the United States
to do is to keep out of all of this,
to let France, England, Ethiopia,
Germany and Russia decide their
own fate.
I haye been in politics and I
have seen public sentiment crys
tallized. But never have I seen
national sentiment so determined
against participation in foreign
affairs as at the present time.
Those nations abroad owe us
vbout 15 billion dollars. They re
fuse to offer us anything in re
turn.
We can only call ourselves fools
if we now fall for their plea to
step into a battle that is not ours.
We cannot under any circum
stance support the League of
Nations. Its through. It is ended
—unless it can settle this squab
ble.
Regardless of the decision
eventually, America wants noth
ing of this European League. —

tor from North Carolina.
