After a long debate the Senate the past week accepted the House bill and Dr. Aibert Anderson, su perintedent of the State Hospital for the Insane at Raleigh, is to be given $4 000 of the taxpayers motley to reimbuse him for fees oaid out to lawyers when he was indicted several years ago on charges of malesfeasance in office Anderson among other things was charged with working inmates of the hospital on his own real estate development, was convicted in Wake Superior court and- fined $50 but under a technicality the Supreme court reversed tht verdict and no other trial was ever bad of the case It might hurt the De mocratic parti to turn on the light too much and the affair was drop ped. Many other amazing charges were brought out at the time a- gainst Anderson but were not press ed and now when it is thought that the people have forgotten them up bobs a bill in the General Assem bly to reimburse him the #12,000 he spent in defending himself 'and the weak-kneed Legislators fall for it and give him 54.000 of the tax payers money. Senator Dunlap who opposed the gift of the people’s money to this, man said, “I don’t believe that a jury ot 12 men would have con victed him if he wasn’t guilty of some wrong doing. Twelve thou sand dollars is a lot of money to pay for the defense of an innocent man.” B utpartof the raonev, .$ 4 ,0 0 0 was voted him tUus One of the most outrageous precedents is establish ed. If it is right to refund Ander son the money he spent in his de fense why isn’t it right for the state to reimburse every other mm that it has charged with high crimes and misdemeanors and who was acquitted? Do they not have just as valid a claim on the state for reimbursement for the, money they paid for their attorneys to free them as Anderson? We do not be lieve the taxpayers of the State will approve of this useless and un called for waste of their money. Instead of paying part of his lawyer’s fees and allowing him to continue in office Anderson should have resigned instead of coming now asking the Legislature to take the money of an o.verourdened tax payer and hand over to him. ■ He ought to thank Providence that -he had a safe deliverence by the grace of the Supreme'Court.—Union Re publican. Republican Vote Decid ed Issue. It was a. Republican senator who fumed the tide and helped save the day for the Democratic majority a- gainst the luxury sales tax in the senate when Senator A. Turner Grant, of Davie, surprised both factions and voted against the John son resolution to instruct the sen ate conference committee to agree to 'the luxury tax plan. The re solution was defeated 24 to 22. If Senator Grant had' voted for the resolution instead of against it, the vote would have been 23 to 23, requiring Lieutenant Governor Fountain to vote to break the’ Wev Since Lieutenant Governor Foun tain has. several times declared- he was in favor of the luxury tax, he undoubtedly would have voted with the Johnson. Hinsdale luxury tax faction’ and the committee would ave been instructed to agree , to the luxury tax plan by a vote of 24 to 23. Measure Calculated to Relieve Taxpayer Proposed. Head line. JV-taii&n taxpayer got left to be relieve3»of?—Arkansas Gazette. Important Notice. The Government of the United States is anxious that the grave ol every Soldier. Sailor, Marine, and Army Nurse that has served in th Army or Navy of the Uuiter States (including the Revolutionan War) wheather regular or volun tery, and wheather they died it the service or after muster out oi honorable discharge, shall be mark ed with a suitable headstone. Where the friends and relatives ate unable to defray the expenses 0 these headstones the Government will supply them, without cost— prepaying freight of Davie count's. Soldiers to Mocksville. Itiseatnestlv hoped that even reader of this notice will at once make diligent enquiry for the names of Soldiers, Sailors, Marines and nurses referred to above to the end that these head stones may b precured at once as there is neces saniy a limit to the time in wliicl this work can be done. We desire therefore to urge i nmediate action on the part of friends and relatives- in looking up the graves of these unmarked Soldiers Sailors etc. These headstones are being plac ed under the auspices of the U. D. Cs. of Davie county Mrs. J. D Hodges, historian ol the Davie Grays Chapter, United Daughters of the Confederacy has been placed in charge of this im portant work and she hopes to have the active co operation of all friends of these poor neglected soldiers. She cordially invites correspond ence or a visit from friends who may know of these unmarked graves Mrs J. D. Hodges. Chapter: ,His torian, U D C . Mocksville, N, C. are These With Mocksville. Raleigh’s municipal primary was. as we understand from the News and Observer, a two-handed fight to free the city from machine do mination and to force a lower tax rate. 5 With the first phase of this, the Star is not concerned, but the tax figures of various cities introduced as evidence that Raleigh’s rate should oe given a downward revi sio.n, are ,challenging. Charlotte’s rate was given as 97 cents. Gastonia was listed at 70. cent; Greensboro at 96; Greenville, 80; Elizabeth City, 79; Kinston, 75; Rockv Mount. 74; Shelby. 97; JWiIson. 68; Winston Salem. 85 Raleigh's present rate is $1 '15. Itisnotable that Wilmington’s city tax rate is not included in those cited by the News and Ob server as arguments in favor of re ductions. As it is five cents high er than Raleigh’s, the omission is quite obvious.—Wilmington Star. Bad Case Of Absent- Mindedness. A bad case of absent-mindedness is reported from Lucama, Wilson county. It is said there Js a physi cian in that vicinity who ardently counted a vound lady for , a period o f-12 months and that they be came engaged and that before the day set for the wedding the doctor sent, ip his bill for $2 for each visit. A nithat is why his affiance re tained the engagement right. “And besides,.” said the young lady, “ we heard tnat after returning from a professional call in a heavy down pour of rain One night, h.e'. put his umbrella in the bed and stood up ;n a corner of-the room all night. Comp In The Good Old Days. -In the old days a district coufer- ilce of the Methodist church was 1 great occasion but in these swift y moving modern days times have IiangeS and the great gatherings •f the ministers and laymen, from >ver the district are a thing of the iast. In the old days these district con- 'erences were scheduled to meet on Hbiirsday morning and ran through the balance of the week winding up Sundav night. Many visitors came 0 these meeting, some of the big ;uns ot the church were there and occasionally a Bish.op honored the iccasion by his presence. Churcht-s all over the district •ied with each other in a race to ,<-e who would be granted the pri vilege of entertaining the"* confer- .nce the next year. One year we remember to have attended one of these conferences Boone. Watauga county, and what .I great time was had by all. Those rood people up there out did them- ■elves in taking care of the gather ing of these consecrated ministers, their wives if they wanted to come ilong, and a quartette of delegates from each church. The best things tp eat imaginable, and daily one woul I have turn down dozens of invitations to dine out. Every miuister and delegate was assigned a home during the duration of the conference but it was seldom that the person so assigned wasn't roped in a carried off to some other groan nig table. 1 Other places that we remember •jl having been given royal enter tainment to the district conference were Sparta, Jefferson, Henderson's Chapel, Watauga county, the two Wilkesboros, Eikin. Boonville. Summerville, Walnut Cove and dozen of other places. But this all charged now in this hurly-burly race for speed. This was brought forcibly to us the the other day when we noted that the Salisbury district "conference is to meet April 28, and embrace ouly .me day. It will be at least 10 o'clock before an organization is effected, it will take an hour for dinner and the conference will con clude its labors before nightfall. Better not have any conference at .ill than to rush through in this manner. With between 50 and 100 churches to make report how can they accomplish anything? Every thing is running in too high gear these days and the churches too are speeded up too high gear these days and the .churches too are speeded up too much. We just mentioned the Salisbury district as au illustration. This is the first conference to get through in a day but the other we understand rush through their deliberations in a couple of days Of course with the good roads automooiles and air planes, the ministers and delegates can get to the seat' of the confer ence quickly but the delightful as sociation, the communion with old- time friends that would come when a conference spends the night in the community, and are guests in the homes of the people all this is lost in the mad rush of moderd day speed.

Organized labor plans a nation wide campaign for a “return of tem perance and sanjtv ” This phras> sounds well. It must he admittec that the_countr> is neither whollj temperate nor sane Surely it is f- laudable ambition to wish to im preve the situations. But would the plan organized labor has in mine results in improvemem? The plan would auihorize be r anr light wines. How that would pro mote temperance and aanatary b not explained. The proponents ot the scheme evidently believes in the potency of beer and wine to mak< the people temperate and to clarify their thought. Organized labor should think care fully before it lends its tremendous influence to any plan that would re store the Iiq ior advances it own in terests, it must do so very largely through its own efforts. It must do a lot of sound thinking. Would wine and beer aid the processes of labor’; thought? Organized labor needs, along wi'i sound thinking, resources in tht form a ready money nr highly Iquid if it is to succeed in making the most of the battle for its full rights The more money a laboring man has, the the more independent he is in time of negotiation with his employer Money spent for wine a beer cannot be used in contests for rights. Labot may have other explanations of al leged utility of wine and - beer in promoting its interests Certainly this utility Is not in strengthening tqe irind or in building up reserve chests.—Winston-Salem Journal. The Tax Man Gets Us.

IN ADVANCE - * Sn V- The Af Smith democrats have been well taken care of in Davie countv. The only reason that a few are left outside is the fact: that ■ there were not offices enough to go around. Wa are glad that there are no RepuMicans holding office tinder the democratic administration in Davie county. We believe in the victors having all the spoils. The5’ s'lould do everything possible to re ward their friends who made such a noble fight to put them in office. The laborer is worthy of his hire. Democrats who are holding Feder- aljobs should also get away from the pie counter while the Republi- are in power nationally. Someofthe democrats seepi to be frightened over the dire results of the acts of the I' gi<latiire; and are predicting that North Ca olina may go Republican next year. Such a happening might be a bless ing to the entire state. We know that the state ronlrin’t be in anv worse shape if the Republicans had control of all the offices from the Governornpordown The 11/31 legislature will go dowi; in history as being not only the longest session -ever held but one composed of many democrats with but few lead ers. The next legislature will be composed of new faces, many who 11 will be Republicans. Davie Cases Tried. The following Davie county peo ple were tried at Salisbury Federal court last week:' W. A.

Stacy Spry Buried Monday. having finished a two weeks term in Salisoury last week. WE TOLD YOU SO. A dispatch from MocksviHe to the Charlotte Observer one day last week contained this startling mes sage: “The Davie county board of com missioners have petitioned the gov ernor of 1North Carolina for par dons for the following prisoners now con&ned in the Davie jail John and Marvin Myers, Whitlock Howard and Willie Barker, six m iuths; Claude Stanley, 10 months Kenneth Barker 12 months. , Tnese men were sentenced at the March term of superior court by Judge Hovle Sink to De confin el; ill the jail or worked on the County roads of this or another County at the pleasure of the board o|; commissioners. As no county has been found Which will hire the prisoners and Divie does not have a chaiiigang. the commissioners have petitioned the governor for pardons so that tjie prisoners may be hired out to private employment and save the county the expense of keeping them confined in the jail for from six to 12 months.” For the more than forty years that Davie county was in the hands of the Republicans we never heard of the county commissioners' petit ioning the governor of North Caro Itna to pardon the criminals that had been sentenced to jail or to work on the roads. The Repnoli- cah county commissioners always minaged to dispose of the county prisoners to some nearby county. What is the necessity for holding court and sentencing lawbreakers to jail or to tbe . roads if the com missioners are going to have the governor pardon the prisoners. We are informed that there are a number of acres of land belonging to ’Davie county, at the county home, which needs to be cleared and put into cultivation. With the1 Davie prisoners and one guard •to watch them, this work could be done at a very small cost; the ^ris- ohers being carried to their work . in the morning and returned to jaii in the evening. Strange things . have happened in Davie during the past six months, but this bit of news will go down in history as be log the strangest piece of demo cratic econom/ ever heard ot in the old North State.

Raleigh, May I -The house finance committee this afternoon decided to recommend deferring valuation of property for ad valorem taxation until 1934. This is in line with the commendation made by governor Gardner at the beginning of the session. As a substitute for the revaluation scheduled this year, the "machinery act” which the committee will re port provides that counly commiss ioners sha. have the power to sit as boards of equalization and change assessments which they believe are too high or too low. .

O . MAy 6, t93t BUSINESS PITFALLS ; IN FARM MSTMCIS •Bankers Point Out Hazards cf I Unsound Practices and Help I Farmers to Avoid Them. ,W A Y S in Trhicli bankers may discour age unsound farm practices are de scribed by President F. D. Farrell of :the Kansas State Agricultural College 'In the American Bankers Association ,Journal. He says: .-..‘.‘In Kansas in connection with the •Importation of dairy cattle, a large shipment of very inferior animals came -Into a county to be sold at auction to “local farmers. Th© county agricultur al agent informed the bankers that the !cattle would be a detriment to the !community. The bankers refused to !finance the purchase of the cattle and ‘ ,the sale was abandoned. Th© cattle :were shipped to another county. The 'county' agent and the bankers there I did*1 as was don© in the first instance iaizd the second county escaped. J "A year ago creamery promoters be- fgan trying to capitalize the I-Iansas ‘farmers' desire to improve his markets ‘•by-^inducing communities of farmers Ito -purchase creamery plants before •production and local conditions justi fied them. Informed of this by the State Agricultural College, the bank ers association sent warnings to every bank in the state, loading many Urrc- • fus.e lo_ support the creamery promot ers until the college approved the plant . for the community concerned. This sayed many communities loss from the premature establishment of plants. “A third way bankers can discourage unsound practices is to rc'use to fin ance farmers who wish to pyramid their enterprises^ temptation difficult to re sist.* This is illustrated among farm ers who buy cattle for feeding pur poses. A farmer feeds two or three !cars of cattle on© year and makes a good profit. Tliis induces him to buy k !twice or three times as many the sec- ,•ond year, still more the third and so 'on until’ he finally loses more by having too many cattle on feed in a year of bad. prices than ho made in several ^previous years with smaller numbers :and better prices. When bankers dis courage bad practices their action is a .-positive benefit to the farmers con- icerned.” •• * DID FOR HIS COUNTY The farmers of one county in Ten-- nessee are receiving $400,000 addi tional annual income from new farnr enterprises started sine© 1926 through; the efforts of a “key hanker” and the* county agent, according to estimates ■from the Tennessee College of Agri culture. A “key banker” is a part of the state bankers’ association voluntary field force cooperating with the Amerir can Bankers Association in its nation wide plan for bringing about betteij agricultural. conditions through corn! bined banker-farmer effort. New pro1 jects started in this particular county are tobacco, ITish potato and cabbage production for cash crops, and dairy ing and poultry raising for livestock. .-,The key banker, looking for some* thing to do to better his community, first attempted to procure a county agent but was unable to get the county :t9?make the necessary appropriation: eo be and other leading citizens mad© ;up the requisite funds through private •subscription among farmers and busij- •ness.=men and an agent was employed1!. until 1926 grain was the prin cipal farm production in the county. !Th© banker recognized the disadvant ag es’ of t h i s .i t afforded a low cash income, and the land was too hilly and rough for profitable grain raising. Hi? idea was to introduce cash crops that offered more return per acre and were better fitted to the county. It was de cided that the. county should stand ardize on' the Green Mountain potato and- to m arket it in carload lots. • Through his hank he sponsored the buying of a car of certified see«I potatoes. H© likewise bought some higfr quality tobacco seed and several hundred settings of purebred eggs. These supplies were distributed at cost through the hanks to the fanners. I A fter considerable effort a market :for dairy products was assured the Tarmers when in 1923 a national cheesje ,company located a factory there. X icounty appropriation was secured fqr !county agent work in 1928. ; ; "In 1929 the cash crop program re.* i suited in farm ers selling $45,000 worth jof milk, $150,000 worth of tobacco and Iflfty.flve carloads of potatoes and cab- jbage, mostly through cooperative sales. V1This was some step from the $25,000 (worth of cash crops in 192G,” the ;county agent says, "and indications I are" that this amount w ill be doubled-” :B anks Favor Diversification j-Bqipiiasis -was placed on the strategic I position the banker holds through the I' usfc of directed credit at a recent meet in g of the Alabama hankers’ agricultu ral committee. Alabama is confronted with the problem of over-production Oi cotton. The committee recommended to banks that credit be extended On the basis of a twenty-five per -cent Re duction in cotton acreage. Tlie value of growing other crops than cotton was strongly stressed and county out look meetings are being planned with the thought of bringing about a more balanced agricultural program in the 'various communities*. JNDS F U M E S SUPPLIED BY BANKS By ROME C. STEPHENSON President Ainericcu Bankers Association A LARGE portion of the funds re quired in home building always has been furnished by banks. They have shown con stantly a deep in terest in the per formance of this feature of national development. Up on it rests much of our country’s a "V f u ture;stability, v £ and an y 'contribu- tion to its ad* -Avk * * v a n cement • redounds to the advantage of all. r. c. STEPHENSON So banking has never permitted its co-operative attitude toward home building to lessen. Practically all banks now accept sav ings deposits which can well be turned to the advantage of the home builders. The construction of individual dwell ings requires a large amount of financ ing and is a thoroughly commendable enterprise: Necessarily, the aid given to home builders is governed by the sound banking rules which have grown out of the years of experience and the constant studies of bank practices. All of the efforts, mad© to secure broader real estate loan privileges, to adjust resources to make it possible to lend larger sums for long terms, the standardization of mortgage loan for mulas, and the actual lending of vast sums on mortgage notes evidence the desire Cf banks to contribute a full measure of support to the home-build ing movement. This is true of all class es of banks, but even in a. more marked degree of those whose deposits are largely in the form of savings and whose loans are primarily for building or home purchasing purposes. Both Sides Protected , The process through .which* bank loans are made on real estate is as simple as the nature of siich an im portant transaction will permit. When money is advanced the lender must know that repayment will be made the specified time. Likewise the borrower wants to be assured that, after be has figured the loan on the basis of his conservatively anticipated ability to pay, he will not be required to do more, that be will not be disturbed in his ef forts to work out of his obligations under those terms. W hether his agree ment is to repay the entire loan in three.or five years, or on a monthly or yearly basis, he wants the assurance that no additional burdens will be im posed upon him. All of this is settled definitely in advance. There is no mystery about any of the details, and when tb© negotiations are complete the borrower knows just what he may expect and what be will be re quired to do to meet his obligations. Loans made to persons who wish to acquire homes are not necessarily building loans. On© may wish to pur chase a home already constructed, In this form of transaction bank loans are used very freely because it is the only kind of a real estate loan some classes of banks may make. Others of course, may lend upon real > estate with im provements uncompleted and advance funds as the construction progresses. Different styles in home financing hav© developed in the various states, and banks have tried to adapt their facili ties to the needs. W hatever character of assistance is required in any par ticular instance usually can be found in some bank in the local community. Among banks and borrowers ’for home acquisition purposes a long estab lished and thoroughly tested relation ship exists. Banks are not the^only agencies through which such funds are available; they do not embody all the spirit of helpfulness which abounds. However, through the years of their co-operation their aid has been of un questioned value to the home builders whose efforts to establish a permanence for themselves hav© received constant encouragement. Bankers everywhere are ready to counsel with their custom ers about their home-building plans and to assist to the extent of their ability. This is being don© constantly and the many advantages of it are not without recognition. Farm Service by a Bank A farm service departm ent w as inaugurated a year ago by a bank in Olympia, W ashington, and a farm advisor appointed.

Big News Breaks. Judge Harding told the lawyers in Meck'enburg Superior court, as the Observer reports, that "any attemgt by attorneys to browbeat witnesses would not be tolerated ” Also that "questions tending to in criminate witntsses will be ruled out unless there is evidence to sup port them." Apparently this un usual attitude of court—so unusual that it is hete held big news—was prompted by the case at bar. But we ntay assume that bis honor would protest witnesses at all times —if the assumption isn't too vio Ieut—if he happened to think of it. In any event it is worthy of re cord that one iudge did—Wonder ful to relate—one time speak out in behalf of badgered witnesses. It may be the browbeating was a lit tie more outstanding than common; so much so that his honor felt com- Deiled to take notice. But in anv event it was done, whereof we make glad, even if nothing ever comes of it. But our enthusiasm doesn’t go so far to the belief that Judge Harding and judges generally are coming to the relief of all badgered aud browbeatened witnesses, who are insulted solely because the cross examiner feels that he has the ad vantage and can use it. No; such radical departure as. that in court procedure would be too much. Witnesses will suffer as of yore when lawyers think it safe to in sult them aud their honors won’t take notice. We are simply re cording the unusual and suggest ing possibilities without anv thing that thev may become realities - - The LanO mark. Press and Radio. The press in large measure creat ed the popularity of the radio. Now it is being forced to take steps to prevent itself from being destroyed by what is largely its own creature. The radio is not endangering the prestige of the press as a dissemi nator and a moulder of public opinion. But it is gobbling up a great deal of revenue upon wjtich the press must depend for its finan cial support. Radio is no longer designed as a Uieans of increasing the cultural knowledge of the people, but has become a soulless commercial thing that is-grabbing for every available dollar and is filling the air both night and day with monotonous harangues oa the.values of this and that product. The tinpanny pro grams sandw’ched in between have become mere fillers, At first the programe were fine and were mere ly “sponsored” by commerce. The chauge has made the radio little but an animated sign-board.-—The Dispatch. A Winner Who Lost. It’s usually the loss of a race to a train.that costs a motorist But a Los Angeles Calif,, motorisist bet t a train over a crossing, and still had to pay $154 70. The motorist was racing with the train and, according to information, the race would have been just abot t about a tie at the crossing had the engineer had the engineer not slap ped on emergency brakes and made a sudden stop. The automobile got across in safety But—the train was stopped so quickly that some of its equipment was damaged. So the railroad com pany had the motorist indicted and the court found him guilty, ordering the payment of $154 70 damages to the railway This driver should have been glad enough to pav $154 70—provided he figures his life is worth that. Had the engineer not risked his precious cargo—including his own life—to make emergency stop, the huge Io motive doubtless would have smash ed the auto and its occuparts. May be the train would have been wreck ed, also. Racing a train is a dangerous and utterly disgusting pastime, where a grade crosssing enters the picture. A mere automobile has not a China man’s chance when it comes to dis puting the right of way with a loco motive. That has been proven, time after time. But, still brainless motorists continue the practice, and many engineers are wearing gray hairs tudav for that very reason.— Twin City Sentinel. Mr. PouItryman! Personality. AU a newspaper has to sell to an advertiser is its individual ieadet- sitip, plus the standing it has built for itself with its readers. When there are two or more papers in a given field, advertisers are often disposed to favor one over the oth er, but this preference may be bas ed upon personal prejudice, or up on other reasons that have no bear ing upon actual selling power of the papers. Some advertisers may go to the trouble of accumulating tangible evidence tb govern their decisions. In the case of a coun try paper the personality of the publisher has a vast amount to do with the success of his paper, es pecially if his personality is reflect ed in the paper, says the National Printer-Journalist.

The Mecklenburg statesman in the house who excels in the gift of oratory, Representative Garibaldi, aiding to iucrease the tax on au; glers from §3 10 $5 per year, illus trated with peculiar force the per sistence of an idea. Awav back yonder when the world and Mr Garibaldi were younger, some sage drew a masterly conclusion from certain facts, to-wit; There was a shortage of shoes and ship, and sealing wax, and cabbages These things at that time were all made by people The world was demanding food, and ever ffering to pay for it. Ditto clothing, snoeing, waslitubs, har ness and saddlery, tobacco, for smoking, chewing and snuffing “ Men wanted’’ signs were all a- bout. There were ditches to be dug, dotatoes to be dug, mortar was to be mixed, bricks were to be laid. The country was away be hind with its carpentering. Now there were certain persons who managed to remain strangely deaf to the sounds and blind to the signs indicate of these needs and yearn ings.. And the aforesaid sage de clared that in view of the general situation, and everything taken in to consideration, these idle fellows ought to go to work. At once that was regarded as not only a great profundity, econom ically, but as getting pretty close to the very mudsill of morality. They even passed law inflicting punishment on loafers when they could catch ’em. There are strange survivals of this quaint custom; persons are still arrested and thrown into jail from time to time—when there happened to be room in the iails—for being without visible of support, or beating rides on freight trains. Incredible as it may seem, all this staited with the idea of penalising failure to work. Nowadays the fellow thrown into jail is usually glad to get some food and shelter, aud the taxpayers are beginning to frown on it. This idea has remained with the Honorable Garibaldi through the mutations of time; he still believes, in it, not withstanding the ma chines long since took over the work that men used to do. The bald reality is that the need now is for fewer workers and more fisher men, and Mr. Garibald has it ex. actly backward; but his mind is in the romautic past.—Greensboro News.

That the tax rate on real property is to be weighed in the scales with property valuations is an axiomatic truth in the science of taxation. If the tax rate in one County is a dollar on the hundred dollars of property valued at one-half its true value, it is essentially the same as a rate of fifty cents in another county in which property is valued at its full value. The Legislature has gotten around the vexing problem of quadriennial valuation of property by leaving it up to each of the counties It is perhaps, Yet that was the goal pro jected by the late Governor Bickett and attained in a measuse. But for the next four years at least each county will be a law unto itself so far as valuation of proper ty is concerned. There will be ex actlv 100 different systems of valuing property, and there wiil be so many- different tax rates. There is one feature of State-wide legislature ac complished exactly nothing, save to sidestep a difficult problem. But maybe it wrought better than it seems—Winston Journal.

Passing Show, Bankers, Interest, Taxes “ Bankers favor lower interest :-ate,’’ report of bankers'., meet is headlined. So they do; but it is a lower rate for themselves, not foi the borrower. Banker R. N. Pagi would reduce interest 011 on time deposits from 4 to 3 percent. Bank er P. H Gwwn1 Leaksville. asked tojste the inducement for leaving money with the banks at 3 per cent, when the tax rale would be tlial' much or more. Banker Page re torted that the man woo lias money in the bank doesn't bother to tell the tax lister about it. Whereai the convention of bankers was much amused, report reads. Which reminds that during all the near four mouths of legislative tax discussion there has been no outstanding talk about getting in tangible property on the tax books, a favorite of former days. Pro bably it was not thought worth while to talk about something that is not going to be done. While that rule has not been followed strictly, it is probably just as well not to waste time on the intangi bles, seeing that officialdom has not the nerve to compel the listing; Money on deposit is not exactly out of sight. The information could be obtained by due process of law. Banks publish in their statements the amount of time aud savings de posits, which are interest bearing. These deposits amount to many millions in North Carolina banks; aud little of the money is of record on the tax books. Persons who fail to list money on baud and solvent credits excuse themselves on the grounds that the tax rate will coufiscath the interest, or a Iaige portion of the dividend; arid the practice is defended on tuat ground. But if real estate that yields no return of consequence, not enough to pay the taxes, was left off the books, there would be a tremendous reduction in the a mount of real estate listed for taxa tion But in talking about interest rates it is noticed that the bankers iigbtously avoided discussion of the morals of chargiug the borrower in excess of the rate fixed Dy law.— Greensboro News. . Where Are They? ■ Id one of his recent courts. Iudge Sink wanted to know where all the peace officers of the state were that thev could not look after high way violations instead of adding this etra burden on the taxpayers by creating a bigger highway pa trol. ' The Judge charged the jury 'lhai there was ail-average of 3o‘sheriff>, deputy sheriffs and constables in each of the 100 counties of the state or about 3.000 of these peace officers injNorth Carolina. I ir r ■“ “These peace officers are’ con tinually on the roads, servingiJpa- pers, chasing liquor collecting tax es, etc., land paving no attention to highway traffic, even though en forcement of traffic Iatv is as much a part of their duties as the enforce ment of any othei law. and even though hundred of our people each year are being .killed bv reckless driving. Judge Sink charged. The Judge told the grand jury to -investigate this . phrase of the matter and if it were found that these peace officers were paying 110 attentiou to traffic conditions inci dental to their duties, that they should be indicted aud held ac countable for laxness in duty, Judge Sink is on the right track and is endorsing what we have been advocating for the last tvvo years or more that if the sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, and constables do their duty we would have no need whatever for a state wide patrol system The latter is little better than a farce the wav it is now con stituted and conducted.—Ex.

Judge Midyette of the North Garolina Superior court charged that North Carolina is neglecting its judicial system, clogging the wheels of justice and suffering financial loss as a result. The Judge, said that the state wastes every year in witness fees a lone more than it costs to pay the salaries of the judges and- solicitors He said that witnesses are summon ed religiously every term of court to sit from Monday until Saturday await’ng cases some of which would not be reached in three years Judge Midyette said that “no Gov ernor within the last 20 years has spent five minutes to consider means for improving the judicial system.” This judge might have gone fur ther than this and said that no gov ernor thought anything about the courts with the exception of appoint ing some democratic politician to a judgeship and to see to it that the six “Bevo” judges were still provid ed for so that six more "deserving’’ Democrats could get jobs. We have contended all along that if the 20 regular judges of our Sup erior court would conduct their courts along the lines with which other business is conducted that we would have no need for these extra judges and dockets in every county in the state would be comparatively clear. But as long as politics is the ruling element in the judicial system of the state just that long will “the wheels of justice be clogged.” We have’ about come to the con clusion thot wheu we think as ev erybody else does, we are wrong. More Resentment A- gainst Lobbyists. Taxpayers’ resentment is s-t i I I growing against professional Iob r,yist3 who regard the National Treasury as a cow to be milked for fhe benefit of the interests they hap pen to serve. The latest crusade agains over- zealous lobbyists centers around the flood of legislation which is be ing planned on behalf of veterans of the world war. Passage of the bil lion dollar loan over Hoover’s veto resulted in thousands of letters point ing out the effects that this woulu nave on national balances. Now it is charged by Walter Dav enport in Collier’s Weekly that Iob ijysts for various war veterrn organi- Zitions expect to turn the billion dollar loan into an outright gift, and to follow this by wholesale pi nsion increases. Mr. Davenport, himself a veteran, views the grabbing pro clivities of these lobbyists with out right alarm, declaring that in the long run they will harm the sound est interest of worthy war veterans The nntortunately worded impor tunities of the ex service men’s spokesmen in Congress produced a number of sore spots in both houses of the national legislature. There can be no doubt that the whole ex perience has left a large number of erstwhile friendly congressman more than slightly apathetic towaid the veteran programs for the immediate future. If grants to veterans should in crease in the next ten year in the same porportion as they have grown in the past decade, congress will be setting aside half the national in come for this purpose by 1941. The old. pension system of post civil-war days, will come back, with all its faults, its fraud possibilities and its absurd inadequacies. ; Pressure for wiidlv extravagant Veteran legislature, Mr Davenport, points out, does not come from the veterans themselves, but from lob byists who are seeking to perpetuate their own jobs. However, if feder ql taxes are increased heavily next year, the veterans will have quite a time putting over any further ap propriations beyond those necessary to the work of the Veterans adtnin- stration under existing laws. ueople of North Carolina are going ro have ui oear a new tax burder- for Ihe next two years. Just how heavy this load will be, nohodt ssems to know. Some sav it will a- mount to nine million dollars. Other sav five million. It is fasley nam“d "lnxtirv tax ” Its right name is “nuisance tax.” People of less progressive state? tl at NorthCarolinahavebeen forced Io stand for such an obnoxious scheme to raise revenue. But the, people of North Carolina ought not Jto stand for it longer than two years The first opportunity they get to elect another Legislature they should be sure to find men to serve in that body who know how to devise a system of raising adequate State re venue with resorting to either a nuisance” or “general sales tax ” This “nuisananee tax” never would have been foisted upon the people if thev had known in advance th.at their candidates for the Legis Iature had any such scheme in mind. W eareconfilentthatif the voters of this Commonwealth had been given opportunity to express them selves, the/ would have voted down any form of sales tax. But even if the people were taken by surprese this so called “luxury tax” would not have been passed if its opponents had stood together in opposition to all forms of sale tax. The battle against the "luxury tax” was lost the moment certain out standing leaders of that battle voted for the “general saies tax ” They made the serious mistake of think ing they could kill the “luxury tax” with the “general sales tax ” But, once the opponents of tin "luxury tax” admitted that tb "general sales tax” was sound en ough in theory to vote for they were doomed. At that moment they fel hodily into the trap of sales ta: forces. Fur they admitted that sales rax was sound in principle—; fatal admission for them. Thus did the "luxury tax” oppom ents bring down the house on Ihei own heads. In both politics and leg i-lative strategy, it was the most disastrous blunder that has been made in North Carolina General As sembly in our time. There was one way and only one, as we see it, to have defeated the “luxury tax” in this Legislature: That was to stand fi-mly and un compromisingly against all forms of sales tax on the solid and impreg nable grounds that such taxes are unsound in principle. If the “luxury tax” opponents and the opponent of the “general sales tax frorn passing the Senate. And in the end they could have forced the Legislature to adopt a sound and just system of taxation, based upon theory that all citizens shall pav taxes in accordance with tbeir ability to pay.- Winston Jour nal.

It is true that ilie pay of the legislators was onlv $600 each, re gardless of how long the It'gi.slalure was in session, but all the clerks, stenographers, pages, and other employees are drawing their pav at so much per day. Tliere is no d Hibt but that this legislature will g) down in history as costing more and doing less than any previous local affairs. Good men were no minated for the various town offices but the voters didn’t think enough of them to give them a vote of con fidence. Onr town is solid demo cratic—same as the North Carolina lt-gislature—and it the local officers iton’t tiive ns tax relief they ate going to find pretty rough sledding during the coming two years. With a iax rale of Si.60 on the $100 it is no wonder that our town doesn't gro-.v and prosner. and that our citizens are building homes out side the corporate limits of the town to escape the high tax rate. !Democrats cussed the Republican ionnty commissioners on account t high tax rates when the county I'ite was only $1 13 on the gioo. If he town board will lower our tax 0 the same level that the Repub- icans had the comity rate we will hank the Lord-and take renewed ourage. Tagless Auto Owners Fined.

I Lieutmant Fisher, of the state Ipatiol force, brought Wood and !several other in from Clarksville .township, for failure to comply I with lhe state traffic laws. The !state had no record of a license !sold to Wood since 1927. it wasdis- ii (charges against all of the defend- jams and imposed the fines and I costs. George-Cau’dell, M. W.

Sherrill, another efendant, was called out on his A good democrat from the east ern part of the county told us a few days ago that conditions were bad in his section— that whisky was more plentiful than in many years. We told the gentleman that he surely was mistaken—that we had been promised last fall that if the democrats elected their ticket all blockading, bootlegging and drink ing would automatically cease —that the song of the mocking bird would be beard instead of the sound of the pistol, or words to that effect. The democrats elected their ticket and it makes us feel bad to think that crimes are still being committ ed in the good old county of Davie. The North Carolina legislature pissed a law allowing county com missioners to defer the sale of land f ir taxes until the first Monday in November, thus giving the fanners a chance to grow and sell their cot ton and tobacco before the sale would take place. The Davie county commissioners last week de ferred the land sale tor taxes until the first Monday in September. This will no doubt be of some help to taxpayers, but will not give the needed relief. The farmers haven t any more monev in August than in May. They cannot grow and sell their cotton, corn and tobacco crops before October and many of them will be in as bad shape fiiian dally when their lands are adver tised in August We believe the commissioners made a mistake in not waiting until the first Monday in November to sell the lands— that is, if they wanted to help the farmers.

D. McLean, of Beaufort, in reply to an appeal by Representative H. G. Connor, of Wilson, that it not confess that it is impotent to Iegidate, and ad journ leaving the state in anarchy. "I do not believe that North Ca rolina senators have been bought and sold.” MacLean told the house. "But it is being said ill Raleigh and thoughout the state I think that it has been a case of too much liquor and too many women.” Liquor-Women Charges Bring Senate Denial.

Final plans have been announced for the crop-srowing contests to Us conducted among North Carolina farm folks this year. . The nsw projects Include cotton and corn contests for vocational <iay and evening class students and a corn con test for 4-H Club ineinbars. Copies of the rules, v/ith tho list of prizes, may be obtained from county agents, voca tional teachers, or the agricultural ex tension service of the Xorth Carolina State College and Stats Department of Vocational Education. “It is impossible to measure the value of crop*production contests in 'ts State,” says J. HI. Gray, Xorth >Hna manager of the Chilean Ni trate of Soda Eaucational Bureau which is sponsoring the projects. “They have served as an effective medium for acquainting farmers young and old with the value of good seed, adequate fertilizer, and the control of diseases and insect pests. The en trants in the contests have found that the same methods used in making a high yield on a three or five-acre field may be profitably applied to the eutire farm. “Higher yields are necessary in the State,” he declares, “in order to make profits at present low prices. It is only through large yields that the cost of production, say of a pound of cotton or a bushel of corn, can be kept below the m arket prices.” False Economy Would Cut Big Slice Off Cotton Profits JWM S ' It is costly to om it nitrogen on cotton, as I icrc—50 lbs. at planting, and 230 lbs. as side shown by tftis field on the farm of A. G I dressing—produced 1233 lbs. of seed cotton. Neville, RossviUef Tenn. Plot a t Iefl Plot a t right w ithout nitrogen made which received 250 lbs. Chilean nitrate per I 312 lbs. Omission of fertilizer as" a strp toward eonom y would cost cottnn farmers about a third of a bale per acre, according to a summary of a large number of farm tests reporter? recently by E. C. Westbrook, cotton and tobacco specialist of tbe Georgia Stale College of Agriculture. Instead of representing economy, the cutting out of fertilizer this yenr would likely make the cost of a pound of cotton so high that it would be im* possible to show a profit with prices at their present low level. In Georgia tests in which no fertil izer was used the yield was 313 pounds seed cotton per acre. Where fertilizer was used the yield was increased from 360 to 80S pounds. The average in crease was better than 500 pounds per acre. Figuring seed cotton at 4 cents per pound (which brings lint to 9 cents), but valuing the .fertilizer at cost of $5.00 to $10.00 a ton above present prices, the increase was worth a clear profit that ranged from SO.fio to S17.92 per acre. Professor Westbrook’s analysis shows that farmers can count on nearly §7 extra per acre by side-dress ing with 100 to 150 pounds of Chilean nitrate of soda after chopping. If farmers this year' reduce the amount of fertilizer customarily used at planting, it is all the more important, he says, that they side-dress with quick-acting nitrogen. WOMAN CAPTURES S. C. COTTON PRIZE Mrs. C. H. Mathis of Blaekville. South Carolina, won first prize of §750.00 in the State-Wide 5-Acre Cot ton Contest in 1930 by producing 5,250 pounds of lint cotton-on five acres. The seed, labor, rent, and fertilizer . used in growing the crop cost a total of $357.18. The crop was sold for §888.85. The five acres made a net profit of $529.G7, or $105.93 per acre Coker’s Seed No. 5 was used. At plant ing time 1.200 pounds per acre of a 10-3-3 fertilizer was applied. The cot- ton.-was side\dressed with 320_pouw!s Chilean nitrate of soda per acre in three applications. Mrs. Mathist performance is addi tional evidence that profits are made by increasing the acre yield through tbe use of good seed, fertilizer, and proper cultivation.

DOLLAR BRINGS BACK ■ $4 .3 3 IN FARM TESTS An investment of one dollar in quick- acting nitrogen bought back $4.33 to nearly . 4,000 Southern farmers who conducted demonstrations with the principal crops during the last eight years. Besides revealing the deficiency of nitrogen in Southern soils, the results oi the demonstrations show that the tse of quick-acting nitrogen is one of ' he most profitable investments that :an be made on Liie farm. Tbe nitrogen .ertilizer used in all the demonstra- -ions was Chilean nitrate of soda.* According to the summary, a dol* ar’s worth of nitrate used for cotton cturned on the average §4.78; for •orn, $3.37; oats. $3.24; wheat, $2.94; :ugar cane, $4.1G; and tobacco. $12.83 The demonstrations were conducted uider widely varying conditions as re- ;ards soil and climate. In every case '.he fertilizer application and the har vesting of tbe crop were checked by county agents or vocational teachers. A fe w land posters left.

Dear Sir:—I want to acknow ledge the receipt of your nice letter ind tobacco seed mv wife received while I was away in South Texas. I was gone about eighteen days and when I returned it was too late to plant the seed, so I’m going to hold them over to another year and plant them, If I live and nothing happens. While I was awey a friend of mine slammed a car door on my right thumb and mashed it about half off. I was sorry I didn’t an swer sooner but thats partly the reason. In regards to your kins man who live here, Filmore and Morgan Fereb'ee. I've know them for many years. They are both good men and good citizens. When I come here 43 years ago Mr. Mor gan Ferabee lived 16 miles south of of Vernor on what is kuown as Minnie’s Creek, about 3 miles south Of beaver creek. I used to be his neighbor down there. Beaver creek is about 12 miles south of Vernon and a very noted creek. It’s well covered with underbrush and timb er. In early days it was very fa mous for its water big fish and wild animals In early days I belive there were more Mexican lions, panthers aud wild turkeys roamed up and down its tributaries than any place in the United States. Mr. Morgan Ferabee has the disticticn of killing the last panther ever kill ed in this county. One day when he was living down there he and his neighbor, Mr. Westbrook, had an occasion to go down on the creek to get a load of wood. It was late in the evening. His wife sent the children after the cows. They had a little shepherd dog with them. He, ran a big panther tip a tree in a thicket there where they were. They saw it and ran to where there father was chop ping wood to tell him what a big cat old shep had treed. In those days people weren’t very well equipped with high class fire arms. Maybe had an old time, cheap single barreled shot gun and hap pened to have on hand one load of No 8 shot. When the children come up and oroke the news to them he sent the children to the house for the gun an ammunition. The little shephard dog stayed dowd in the thicket and kept the panther up the tree. While they were gone after the gun he and Mr Westbrook had a very heated argu ment over who should have the ax. Morgan was so persistent in bis ar gument Westbrook had to submit to it and cut himself a club. Tbe children came back with the gun Thier equipment for dispossing of the panther consisted ot one load o f No. 8 shot, I club and chopping ax and a little shepherd dog. They immediately went down and round ed up the thicket where the pan ther was. Mr. Ferabee took charge of the gun Knowing that the load of shot wouldn’t kill him decided to shoot him in the face and put his eyes out. This he did The panther fell out of the tree and soon disposed of the little dog. The panther being blind tried to climb back up the tree. He got hold of the trunk of the tree with both front feet. He just stood there and tore the bark off the tree and screamed in his[agony. While this was going on Mr. Ferabee tip toed up and hit him in the head with the ax aud killed him. I wouldn't he surprised if he a Westbrook's both didn’t have their shoes off be fore this happened, but I'll sure have to admit it takes a hero to do what he did. IMl say further he and I and many others beat the wolves out of a living for the past twelve years we were here. - Many of the old settlers could interest Bailey’s Attitude Critiz- ed. It is passing strange that man in public life, hoping to climb higher and onyvard by the will of the peo ple, as Senator Bailey, would stand idly hy. in fact approve and further the injustice existing in North Ca rolina, of all the registration books being in the hands of one partv, usually because they are not them selves, but belong body and soul to a political controlling machine in every country, and now xvliire and Tilav the baby by saying, as be quoted “I would not be inclined 10 complain if the courts had provided satisfactory measures for the safe guarding of the ballots under su pervision of all parties concerned” in the recent order by the Federal ludg’es of the state, impounding the ballot boxes of this State in the re cent election, is recalling that all U S. marshals are "Republicans.” In whose hands have the boxes been since the November election? Suppose the ballots can not be found, to whom shall the blame be laid? To whom will the complaint be made and whac good has the complaining public done in their living protest against the glaring wrongs of the absentee ballot and system of voting? This has brought about relitf only in the JDymocratic primary. Surely if is is wrong and corrupt in the hands of friends a- gainst each other, as it is admitted iu the primary, it is sadly more wrong in the general election when political enemies cast their lot. This complaining of the Senator has aroused a public suspicion that there surely must be a "nigger in the wood pile” and this whining is sure to cost the Senator and every other public man a lot of popularity. ■The Senator’s "what’s good -for the goose is not good for the gand er” may have'worked in the past generations, but not now. The people are growing in intellgence and they remember promises and expect their serventsjo keep faith. God speed the day when our peo ple have the moral courage to de nounce the littereness of matters read between the lines in expres sions as'now given out by the Sena tor aud force such men to the open and to stand for justice iu all JbiUgs regardless of whether it helps the goose or the gander.— K.

S. A. CASTLEBURY. Why There Was No Re valuation This Year. One of the things foa which the Legislature should be held strictlj to account is the resolution passed exrending the valuation of real estate until some future date, possibly nex year. SThe reason for this unheard of ac tion is plain. Land values every where are assessed at the highest figures and the Legislature knew if the reassessment was made this vear that the valuation would he re duced and this would mean less money for the Democratic office holders to waste. The law plainly says that lands shall be assessed every four years and people today are Paying taxes on their land was assessed four years ago at a time when everyhody was trying to buy a farm and land prices were booming We happened to know of a small farm in Forsyth county in less than 10 miles of Winston Salem that is assessed at $90 per acre yet some time ago when it was put up and sold at auction to settle an estate it brought only $60 an acre. Is it right and just for the owner of this property to pay tax at the rate of $90 an acre when it is only worth $60 an acre? Where were Senator Hendren, Re preservatives Cox, Hanes and Mar- siall that they did not raise their voices in protest and insist that the Legislature allow the law to be exe cuted as written and the lands of the farmers assessed this year,— Union Republican. Too Many Corporate Lawyers. Speaker Willis Smith resents the insinuation that some members of the Legislature have sold out.. We have uot heard of any institutions that anybody has sold out. but we have heard intimations that auiium- ber of-members were elected and sent to the General Assembly as the private property of certain great interests and that they have been for their employers in almost every struggle. Mr. Smith should read that ScriptUi e, “ Where your treasure is, there your heart also is ” ‘ Aud human nature has not so changed that the ass does uot know his master's crib—whicn makes it very hard for a man who is draw ing several thousand dollars a year from corporate interests to do a thing that would cost his employer many thousands in taxes. Nobody denies the fact a man who gets his principal income from one source can not be honest to all people. But Mr. Smith should re member that there are two lines of thought involved iu this great eon- trovesv Ou the one side is found the great multitude of people seek ing '.be very ueeds of life; on- the other side are those seeking divid ends—and for 20 years professional politicians and corporate lawyers have written the tax laws of North Carolina. There is a vast difference between individual and corporative wealth, as every kuows. Wealth veils it self in the guise of corporation, which has' no face to slap, bul which at once-seeks special favors. Speaker Smith ought to know by this time that men who serve cor porations for a long number of years too often lose sympatny for human side of life, and do not make trustedjjudges, executives, or legislators. That has been proven time and again in our United States senatorial investigations The people certainly think there are too many trust lawyers in our Legislature for everybody to get a square deal.—Williamston Enter prise.

This is being demonstrated in Winston Salem every vear. Those in the producing class are compared to a producing orchard. One who has seen fitly summers nt more points out that fruit trees set out forty or fifty years ago on good soil are paying a better income to day than orchards that have re cently come into production. It is suggested that planting fruit trees now is one of the best legacies that can be left future generations. A vast number of trees are demon strated every year. If there is to be fruit on through the years it is necessary to do a lot of planding e^e.rv year to make up for this de ficiency. Since there will be far more consumers 40 or 50 years from now, the need is apparent for planting even more than are being destroyed. You may not feel you are getting anything out of a tree that will uot be bearing until long after you are gone, but you are en joying the fruits of trees someone planted before yout time. Whv not repay for this privilege bv planting a tew trees that others will enjoy and love you for, iu the years to come?—Ex. Slight Cut in Tobacco Acreage. Tnl-acco acreage in the South for 1931 should he cut from 28 to 64 per :ent., if the growers are to get any thing like adtquate prices for the •rop. agricultural leaders areteiling he farmers. But the wav it looks, lo w , the reduction will not be more han 10 per cent, if that much; which vill mean that tabacco will bring rom nine to twelve cents a pound m the next market. And the most urgent need of acre- we reduction is right here in North laroliria where 66 4 per cent, of the ration’s crop of flue-cured tobacco ias been grown during the past six tears. Dr. Foster, economist of Morth Carolina State Cullege, says that the acreage in this state must be reduced 64 per cent, if the farm ers are to receive fifteen cents a pound for their crop, a price that is barely the cost of production. But thereis no indication that North Carolina farmers intend Io c tt their acreage as much as 10 per cent. Indeed, in some section of tie state the acreage will increased. If the acreage for flue cured tobac- :o in this state is reduced only 10 oer cent, the resulting crop will a- mouut to 739,000,000 pounds The estimated surplus, July I, 1931, is the same number of pounds. The resulting total pounds of tobacco means a price of from nine to twelve cents a pound. So the outlook i3 for another de pressing year in tobatco growers. Tnis will result in increased dissatis- ficiion. About the only hope at present is that the growers may be come so well organized reXt year t iat the acreage can be -reduced en ough to put. the price up in 1943 to the level wheie 11 should be.—Twin- C.ty Sentinel A New Problem.

Sheek, Edward Stewart, D. M Williams. Amos Wright, Jas H. Cain. At the meeting of the Con federate soldiers at the high school building Friday morning, 16 of these soldiers were present Those absent were: J. N. Charles, Wil Iiaui Clary and G. B. Harding. It is remarkable that so many of these aged meu were able to be present on this occasion. After the exercises were over, in which Judge Baitey Lee, of Idaho, delivered the address, the soldiers enjoyed a delightful luucheou pre pared by the Davie Grays, U. D. C. Kappa News $ Mr. Clay Williams is the head of the Reynolds Tobacco Co., of Wins ton-Salem. one of the biggest and most powerful corporations in the south. We all know what big wages 'tbe Reynolds emploiees draw, and the tobacco farmers of Davie county know what fabulous prices this big corporation pays them for their tobacco. Many of them will also remember that Mr. Williams came over to Davie coun ty last fall and told the voters over here to vote the democratic ticket if they wanted to see the county grow and prospei. A few of the voters will also remember that the same Mr. Williams has been in Raleigh much of the time this spring. It is said tnat he has be< n doing everything possible to keep the Legislature from passing the luxw y tax bill. Anyhow, there are a number of democrats in Davie who are now saying some things about tbe same Mr. Williams that they were not saying during the Campaign last fall. It makes no difference what kind of tax bill passes, Mr. Williams will not re ceive the same hearty welcome in his own county in the future as he has in the past. and continue take individual scoring honors for his team and tied for top h' n irs with with Dunnagan1 of Winston-Salem, who won first places in the 120 low hurdles and broad jump and tied for first place in the high jump.

Vasl Nitrate Fields Once Floor of Ocean Entire Rdgzon Now Barren De3£rt High Above ‘ Sea Level ; Piecc by piece, scientific discoveries have been put together to reveal the story of one of the great mysteries of nature, the origin of the nitrate fields 1 in South America. j According to geological'history, the vast, barren desert of Northern Chile In which the nitrate deposits are found was once the bottom of the Pacific Occan. Millions of years—no one knows the number—liave probably passed since Nature buried this treas- ure in that desolate plateau thousands of feet above the Pacific. Authorities who have studied the deposits believe that, either as a result I of a sudden upheaval or the gradual! rising of the continent, great bodies! of waters from the Pacific were com*" pletely enclosed by rising land. A beating sun. pouring down upon the inland lakes In this new region, grad- ually dried up the salt water, destroy ing plant and animal life. Then fol- lowed slow oxidation which, with other natural processes, produced almost by magic an entirely new substance— Chilean nitrate of soda, as it is called today. The nitrate, with other min- erais, is now round in beds in an area covering 75.000 square miles, where it has been baked and seasoned for cen turies. It is generally thought that the natural origin of Chilean nitrate ac counts for its unusual record of service to farmers of the world. It contains, besides nitrogen, a number of other im portant elements—potassium, calci um, magnesium, iodine, and boron. AU of these are essential for the growth and health of .plants. It is because of tbe presence of these ele ments that Chilean nitrate is fre quently called “nitrogen plus.'* It is more than a source of nitrogen. The commercial exploitation of the nitrate deposits commenced in 1830. The fertilizer has been used ever since, and it is now recognized as the oldest of the commercial fertilizing mate rials. In this country about three quarters of a million tons are used annually. According to conservative estimates, the supply is adequate to meet the ,need of the world for several centuries, even if the rate of consump tion is materially increased. A Refreshing Day.

Cotton textile business is now de clared to be on the gradual up grade after a half dozen years in the dumps This improvement in business conditions appears to have orginated more from the inside of thejindustry itself than from the out side influence. During^ the past few years there has been a marked improvement in the character of cotton products. Manufacturers have put their heads together, st- cu-ed the best available experts at: d told them to make the best and most attractive goods at the lowest possible prices. And now they have started to advertise to the pub lic the virtues of their wares. If they keep up this pace the cotton textile industry should have a num ber of good years ahead.—Ex. 27 Divorces In Eight Hours.

Legislature Sliows Hand at “Buck Passing.” After postponing the matter of revaluation several times the North Carolina Genreral Assembly has finally decided to allow the several boards of county commissioners throughout the State to use their own discretion as to whether the revaluation of real properties shall be carried out this year. In other words, the Legislature has evaded responsib’lity tor the results of any definite action one way or the other by “ passing the buck” to the coun ty commissioners. This adroit move on the part of legislators has created an embarras sing situation for countv officials from under which some may crawl with ill grace. For it is a very certain fact that landowners are up in the air about taxes and many property owners have been protest ing high valuation to the couimis sioners of this and other counties tor some time. If revaluation is made this year, then the probability of a higher tax rate will loom in many counties. If no revaluation is made, the ire of the citizens thus aroused may slumber on until the fall, of 1932 and do fearful things at the polling places. It is true that. State operation oi the schools for six months and the roads for twelve mouths of the year may afford some material re ductions in county expenses. But county officials are cognizant of the fact that the counties will continue to pay off its bonded road and school indebtedness and that it will be forced to provide for capital out- Iiy and other expenses incidental to the operation of schools. To do these things requires money and the revenue must cotue from the taxpayer. However, it does appear that with two heavy burdens off its shoulders, the coun ty should be able to reduce inflated valuations without increasing the ad valorem tax rate, especially it the estimated revenues from the new state revenue measure mate rializes. Al! of which is a pretty problem which the General Assem bly has stood from under with a finesse little short of superlative political ingenuity.—Winston Sa lem Journal. Party Solidary Demand* ed By Lucas. Party solidarity was demanded by Robert H. Lucas, director of the National Republican Executive Com mittee, in a message to young Repu blicans the past week in Washing ton, “lest a Democratic radical coali tion may be placed in control of the government ” “In these times of economic de pression and resuiting unemploy ment, weakening vitality and/lower- iig resistance.” said Lucas, “sub jecting the public mind to the in fections of radicalism, socialism and communism, Republicans are put to the test of party loyalty and party service. ‘ Lf it were not for the protection of the Republican polities of protec tive tariff and restricted immigra tion, wages would be much lower and the number of unemployed would be gfeaily increased. “And vet the Democratic party— the party of free trade and unre stricted immigration—by stirring and stimulating discontent, has hopes of taking over the government of the United States. These hopes are not based upon a belief that the Democratic party principles will ap peal to a majority of the voters, but on the theory that in a period of de pression the people will vote aginst the party in power.” During the last two and one-halt months, County Agent J. 0 . An thony of Harnett County has as sisted his farmers to sell jS8.496.20 worth of live poultry in carlot ship ments. Things Are Looking Up We don’t mean onlv the gretn things in field and garden Eco nomic depressions have no effect uion the processes of nature; the leaves come out and the grass comts u-!—to say nothing of the weeds— whether business is good or bad. Aud at this time of year it is al ways truthful, though not always the whole truth, to say that thin£s a'e looking up. This year it seems to be true of other things besides the ones' thf.t grow. There are plenty ofsignsof improvement in business, not much in some lines, a good deal in others. Automobile production is increas ing, which meous more men work ing the factories. The electric power is increasing, which means more men working in the factories, The electric power output is higher than it was a year ago. That means not onlv that more people are us iug electric light but that industrial plants are buying more power. Building contracts reported for March show a gain over Februay. And it is hard to travel twenty miles in any direction from any. where without running into a new highway or bridge under construc tion, or some other big piece of ouMio work, giving employment to large number of men and put ting it in aggregated hundreds of millions of dallars into circulation. There has been a great deal of unfriendly comment abroad over the situation in the United States during the past eighteen months. Unemployment, the breadlines in the big cities, and similar sensation al items of news were printed in European papers, with the result that Germany, France and Italy picture the whole population of the United States reduced to destitu tion. Appareutly they have never over there, of our minature golt craze, which began just after tlie depression hit us and so far has de veloped into a $150,000,000 busi ness. Not everybody in the United States spends his time in the bread line! And, to eome back to the green and the weeds. Nature is doing a little better by us this year than last. At least, there has been more rain this spring all over the coun try than there was a year ago, and more snow in the North than for several winteis. There is still a lot of water to fall to biing up the average, but theje doesn't seeui to any danger of another widespread drought in 1931. On the whole all things consider ed we’re doing pretty well thank you.—Graham Messenger. Democratic Pie Soon after the democrats came in power in Davidson county last December one of the first things they did was to abolish the farm dfmonstration agent. The man holding the place was able and competent but alas he was a Repub lican and the only way they could dispose of him, as his term of office was not up. was to abolish the offi ce on the plea of economy. We predicted at the time that later on the office would be re established and a Democratic henchman put in charge. The expected happened the past week and Davidson is a- gain favored with a farm agent and he will begin work June 1. Times must have got a whole lot better in D.avidson since early in the year and we .nay expect a number of other offices established by the De mocrats for time servers, job hunt ers and office holders.—Union Re publican At the age of three years Edna Earl Corbett of Greenville, N.

After being without a county farm agent for about three years a movement set on foot in Davie coun ty some time ago for the employ ment of an agent, seems to be mak ing great headway and is appar ently gaining in favor as the weeks pass. Man y prominent and leading farmers, cattlemen and some busi ness men who have the interest of the farmer at heart have expressed themselves very much in favor of a farm agent. The latest development was a visit to the boaid of county com missioners by O. F. McCr ary of tae state agriculture extension ex tension department -with an offer by the state for payment of half the salary and $500 of the expen ses of an agent provided the county would employ one by July 1. The board was evidently fovor- ably impressed with the proposition although an official statement could not be obtained. The board has the matter under advisement and will doubtless take some action at the June meeting. In a hospital with injuries receiv ed in an automobile accident, Fred Williams, of Centralia, III., hired an ambulance to take him to the polls to vote. He cast his ballot from a cot in the ambulance, re luming afterward to the hospital.

Members of the lower House in the Legislature were not inclined to give much consideration to a re solution placed before them calling upon t.oirds o. county commission ers to ceas • from paying expenses of members of tne Geueral Assem bly from certaiu counties. It may have been legislative courtesy that prevented passage of this resolution, but even legislative courtesy ought to have its limits when it bumps squarely up against the law. Boards of commissioners are giveu considerable liberty as the purposes for which they may ap propriate money from the general fund, which is limited in amount the property valuation of the coun ty will produce, together with cer taiu feesaud suudry receipts. Itis stretching matters beyond reason though to assume that paying the expenses of a member of the Legis lature is a legitimate object of 4a county board. The state for gene rations has been paying the law makers from its general treasury. It paid them the full amount spe- ' citied by the Coustitution for a I single term of the General Assem bly, and it is hard to understand where any board of county com- inissiouers has been able to find authority to supplement the state pay. If the Legislature does not care to look into the matter, the local government commission might have justification. We are not informed as to what county boards, if any, have been making such appropriations. But if any have been doing this in order to keep the Legislature in a dead lock some proper agency of the state ought to look into the matter. There must be something to it, when three members of the Hon-e sponsored a resolution condemning the practice of county commission ers paying these expenses on condi tion that the recipients of the mon ey stand firm for a sales tax. It is. doubtful whether any group of county officials has any mo:e right to take the jeople’s tax monev to prop up a vote in the : Legislature that has an individual Lor private corporation to buy a vote !outright.—The Dispatch, Democra tic. .

If our roads are all in fine shape by July ISt a day and night force of many men will have to be put 011 the job at once. We were led to believe that the reason our roads had not been kept up as heretofote, was the fact that the state would take them over soon regirdiess of their condition and that we could crow londlv about the great amount of money we had saved the taxpayers of Davie countv, “ My God, Aber nethy.”' In the year iyoo, the Republican county commissioiiLrs issued bond: and had a new court house built in Mocksville. Tliev were threaten ed with indictment by the judge in this district if they failed to Iwi d a new temple of justice. When the court house was built a corner stone was placed in the building with the names of the county com missioners and the county attor neys carved on the stone, as fol lows: C. G. Bailey, Chairman; J M Cain, B. F. Stonestreet, comm issioners. T. B. Bailey and A. T. Grant, Ir., county attorneys. Shortly after the court house was built the commissioners went to work and erected a modern couuty home, which is a credit to a much larger and richer, county than Davie. In front of this building the names of the ujunty commiss ioners, together with the visiting hours and the name of the building was painted on a sigu and placed on the grounds. A short while ago the new board of democratic coun ty commissioners went to the coup- ty home and decided that the names of the Republican county commis sioners would have to come off the sign.

Chile’s imported goods amounted to $44 per capita that year. The principal products purchased from the United States included cotton fabrics, automobiles, trucks, gasoline, and iron and sieel manufactured prod ucts. Since these and many other products are manufactured in this country in excess of the home demand, the development of markers in other countries is essential to the future prosperity of our country. In exchange for the products sold to Chile, the United States bought raw materials, principally copper to be cou verted into manufactured products and nitrate of soda to be used by farmers in producing profitable crops. Govern ments of both countries actively en courage this exchange of trade. Our commerce officials have shown that American manufacturers can enlarge their markets in South America. Near ly all these countries have rt-.w prod ucts to exchange for the goods we produce. Be More Careful Boys. Automobile drivers are always concerned over the presence of men and boys on bicycles. There is no one thing that drivers meet wjth that causes them more con cern than riders of a bicycle on tbe streets.

The bicycle rider is with us and will stay. He has the right to the highway and is entitled to every consideration, but we believe that the average driver of an automo- bile will agree 1° the statement that these young men are too careless and take far too many chances. It is a fact that very tew accidents happen, but the driver of the auto mobile is always uneasy and the the rider of a bicycle ought to stop what seems to be rather careless ways that seem to invite disaster constantly —Salisbury Post.

Grandmothers Did S Wby Do So Manv CooklPIihe Old Way? The submarine, “Nautilus,” by means of which Sir Hubert Wilkins hopes to make an undersea dash to North Pole. (Inset) Sir Hubert inspecting the boat’s kitchen. f , THE expedition of Sir Hubert Wilkins, the explorer, to the North Pole will be the most unusual in the history of th^ world—an at tempt to explore the polar regions by means of a submarine.. His undersea boat, christened the “Nautilus,” after Jules Verne’s famous vessel of fiction, will try to travel under the top of tho earth and beneath the North Pole.But Sir Hubert has arranged that his crew of twenty will have all mod ern* comforts possible. On the trip to the coldest section of the world, the submarine will be equipped with an electric refrigerator and his men will have the advantages of sunlamps, as well as electric fans, radio, electric !washing machines, vacuum cleaners,* electric stove and electric heaters.' The General Electric Company was called in to install the refrigerator and other appliances. While the submarine will travel under the ice, the temperature inside the boat will be such that foodstuffs would spoil -without an electric re frigerator. Then, too, while the boat will travel to the North Pole—Land of the Midnight Sun—tbe crew would get little natural sunlight. That’s the reason for the sunlamps.
