it is often used today, isn't one that por-trays happiness or progressiveness; more-over, it often indicates distress.

New FrightfulnessSeen In Germany

(From Scottish Rite News.)

A few (Jays ago a minor diplomat-ic official connected with the Ger-man Kmbassy at Paris was shut,

T/y a seventeen-year-old Polish Jewfad who wa« a refugee, illegally inTrance bnt hiding with relatives

rtherc because he had no other place

to go. He had just, received wordfrom his parents that they had beenwasted from thei r home by the Ger-man authorities and dunjped on thePolish frontier without food or

money, shelter or friends. They were(destitute and in despair. Tlaif-eraz-

by the news and by his own sit-uation, and blaming the Nazis forJtig trobules, Tie made his way tothe German Embassy, and gaining

admission on a pretext., sought ven-

jEwrnco by an attack on one whojeentetf to him to personify those

who had wronged him.In revenge for this ill-considered

aet of a desperate youth, the most?avagr reprisals were taken against

the entire Jewish population ofGermany and Austria. Homes were

raided, shops sacked and looted, syn-

agogues were burned or otherwise\u25a0'estroyed, and thousands of indi-vidual citizens mercilessly attacked,>e»ten and jailed.

AH the evidence goes to prove thatThese attacks were premeditated an J

well planned. They were not spora-dic. The terrorizing of the Jews and~,ke destruction of their property oc

-urreti almost simultaneously in nil

farts of Germany. The attacks were

Jx-ffnn systematically in the early-.aoroing hours and continued allriary, until by nightfall there was

scarcely a Jewish cai'e, office, shop orvynagogue that was not wrecked,horned or severely damaged. The ap-palling and frightening procedure«omtinned, with the police looking 011

calmly, until after fourteen hours

of violence it was officially called

off by Propaganda Minister I>r. Jos-eph Goebbels.

Tn his proclamtaion Doctor Goeb-

bels declared that the retaliatory

actons of the German people had.been "justified and understandable,"but he called a halt to the violence |and stated that the government was

prepared to give "a final answer toJewery byway of legislation and or-

dinance."That "final answer * * * byway

of ordinance and legislation" proved]to be a peremptory order that all,damage done to Jewish property jmust be restored by the Jews them-1selves, but the property when re-1stored must be turned ove r to Nazi jhenchmen. In addition, a fine of abillion marks?s4oo,ooo,ool1 ?was le-vied against the whole Jewish peo-ple, with all the principal Jews hellas hostages for the payment of this'vast sum, which must bo produced

within forty-eight hours. The ordi-Jnances further forbid Jews the priv-1ilege of education in the elementary

and secondary schools, also in the |colleges and universities. They ar-5

denied the established means of en-

tertainment, and from all other so-

cial rights they have been ostra-cized. Moreover, they are being driv-

en into concentration camps, force 1to leave the country, and allowedonly the most menial ways of earn-ing their livelihood.

What an indemnity for the act of

a 17-year-old boy, made mad by thecruelty to his own parents and peo-

ple l>y those who demand that in-demnity! How can any but a cyn-

ical hypocrite, a Torquemada, or >1

person bereft, of his reason justify

as "understandable'' the retaliatory

actions of the Germans people, whenho refuses to see a much more un-destandable provocation for the ac-

tion of the Polish boy.

How fitting to the attitude of the

WILKESCOUNTY

High on a hill in Wilkes County,joverlooking the fertile valley of theYadkin river, with a background ofjthe towering peaks of the Blue!Ri.lge mountains, stands the historicif somewhat time worn Morne jRouge plantation mansion.

Recalling an era of more than j100 years ago when the famed

three-story mansion was built fo r a'young man and his bride, Morns jRouge today has an entirely dif-jferent appearance from that of more

than 100 years ago when the fertile,

valleys were verdant with growing!crops and scores of slaves, housednear the plantation seat, were bus-ily at work.

Morne Rouge, at one time, was one

of the most famous of North Caro-lina mansions, mainly bemuse it |was built by Governor Montford

i Stokes, one of the early governors ofjNorth Carolina, It is located about jsix miles west of Wilkeshoro.

Turning back to the time of the (eight Lords Proprietors (about 17-j52) Lord Granville, one of these!eight men, refusing to do as his sev-!en equais and sell the land back to ithe king, granted 10,000 acres inwestern North Carolina to the Mora-vians, which after changing handsseveral times became the property

of Hugh Montgomery, of Salisbury.The land was divided between histwo daughters, Rachel and Rebecca.Rachel married Governor Stokes andwas the receiver of her father's landadjoining the land that was alreadyi

the property of Governor Stokes. On

| this site in the year 1830 (108 years

ago and in the yea r the present state!Capitol was started), Montford,Stokes built here a pretentious, homefor his btide. During the few years,they lived here a son was born to!

j them, Montford Sidney Stokes. This 1j son grew up and later figured great-

I ly in politics. lie was killed in the| War Between the States in the bat-tle bf Chicahominy .luly 3, 1802, at

the age of 52. He was buried \just

below the house at Morne Rougeplantation, beside his wife. The

, tombs still stand.In the old house one finds holes

'in the walls made by the bullets.! from the guns of the outlaws and ?bushwhackers of the war days. Inthe wine cellar many a prize bottleof li<|Uor has rested on the shelvesthat are still there. The slave quar-ters were located just north of the

I house and only a few of the crudeancient brick of the foundation stillremain. But the picturesque bottomlands in the valley below wheremany a negro slave paused in his

j cotton picking to look upward at his Ij master's new home still retains tli'l 'i beauty that lends it the southern thomelike appearance.

found the superintendent of the county pris-1on camp using th e"dog house" to punish iprisoners assigned to his custody.

Investigators found the Forsyth dog house'to be a structure 4 x G feet, with concrete ifloor, not heated and with no bed. They jfound within this structure for "punish-jment" a prisoner assigned to the camp. In

the hospital, they found another prisonerreceiving treatment for gangrenous feet re-sulting from freezing while in the dog house.

The prisoner may lose his feet by amputa-

tion.

The superintendent of the prison wasforthwith discharged. To lose a job today

is punishment within itself, but officials whopermit the party or parties guilty of in-humane treatment such as has been commit-ted in Forsyth county to go without being

brought to trial in an impartial court are asguilty of criminal negligence as the super-

intendent responsible for the act.

Governing prisoners in North Carolina is

not always an easy job, but there is no oc-

casion for returning to barbaric, inhuman

treatment of human beings who have hearts

and minds.

I Hitlers, the Goebbels and the Goer-ings, who would justify such re-

taliation and their latest violenceagainst the Jews, are the words of jSt. Luke: "Thou hypocrite, east out

first the beam out of thine own eye

and then shalt thou see clearly topull out the mote that is in thy

| brother's eye.

ONE POUNIJ liABY

IS STILL LIVING'I

A baby that weighted exactly one

1 pound two weeks after its birth atI a Marion hospital is now little more

! than two months old and weighs jthree pounds, six ounces and is|

I healthy and normal in every way ex- jj cept size, according to Dr. D. M. jMcintosh, who has been caring forthe child since its bil'th on Septem-

ber 28.1 The child is the daughter of Mr.and Mrs. E. 0. Prinshaw, of Old tFort.

While the weight of the child was'(not small enough to establish any'| record for medical science, the fact'1 the child has been healthy andmal except fo r size and apparently

will develop without physical handi-cap is unusual, according to attend-ing physicians.

When the child was first born, itwas wrapped in cotton and kept atapproximately body temepraturewith, hot water bottles for severaldays. Only in the past few days

have attending nurses been able to

clothe the child.| The baby's mouth was so smalljat birth that it was necessary tofeed it with an eye dropper. Herlungs were fully ' developed frombirth, the attending physicians said,as she could cry lustily when the jeye-dropper feedings were too far|apart. It was impossible to find anyother means of feeding the child un-

til a few days ago when it was ableto be fed with a bottle.

I French courtier designed the firstplaying cards in order to entertainan insane kjng, but Mr. Morleypoints out that the Frenchman'scards bore the symbols of n Hindugod. Therefore he is inclinod to

think that playing curds first appear-ed somewhere in Asia, but he re-

fuses to attempt to locate the ex-act spot.

His oldest English pack was madoabout 1680, but he has a Hindupack, consisting of 120 cards and10 suits. Who was responsible forthat troublemaker, and when! Mr.Morley will not even hazard a guess.
