PAGE TWO The Rocky Mount Herald '■r.lMhed Every Friday at Rocky Mount, North Caro l>» by The Rocky Mount Herald Publishing Company [*ED J OREEN N9ws Editor and Manager L PACKARD Assistant Editor ititrri'd an second-class matter January 19, 1934, at the oost office at Rocky Mcunt, North Carolina, under the Act of March 3, 1879 a rates reasonable, and furnished to pro» ueetive advertisers on request Sabasriptmn Rates: One Year, tl.OO; 6 Months, 60s Office: Second Floor Datfiela Baildlag, Rocky Mount. Edgecombe County, North Carolina LIQUOR AND CHARITY News and Observer Without raising the question as to the evil of liquor it may be said emphatically that the liquor business ought not to be tied up with such a special service as the relief of needy families. If the county liquor stores make any money that money should go with all oth er taxes into the general funds of the coun ty, If local distress needs the aid of local government in any county that aid should come from the general fund. The advocates of the present system of liquor control claim that it is the best sys tem for the happiness and welfare of the community. If it is, that fact should be de monstrated. If it is not, no coupling of li quor and charity will make a poor system any better. Liquor control is entitled to its opportun ity to demonstrate its virtues, if any. But that demonstration will not be served by any effort to sweeten the business with the odors of fictitious benevolence. " THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR EXPERIENC E The Gold Leaf Farmer, Wendell. We have read recently an article in the News and Observer concerning the retire ment of Dr. Jenness Morrill of Falkland that interested us greatly. One statement the good doctor, now in his seventies, made on retiring because of ill-health seems to us significant, "A man would be stupid indeed if he had no distinctive contribution to make to his profession after practicing it for 50 years." We have watched with interest and concern the continued trend in business and the professions toward elimination of older men. Teachers and preachers, particularly, are hard put to it to secure desirable positions after they are in their fifties. People seem to forget in their desire for youth that there is no substitute for experience. A man who has preached or taught for half a lifetime has a wealth of experience and wisdom no young man can possibly have. It is tragic waste to make no use of this hard earned wisdom. There is no finer spectacle than that of a fine young man doing a good job at some pro fession or in some business, but the world meeds to remember also that older people al so do fine work. For instance: Socrates gave the world his wisest sayings at 68; Plato was a pupil until he was 50. He only began teaching after that age; Hugo wrote Les Hiserables when he was 60, and Noah Web ster compiled his dictionary between 60 and 70. ■ l.'limiLlH I 1 H i I . i Pay by Check and Be Sure of a Receipt 1 ■ « . , Open an Accoun i I The Planters National Bank And Trust Company MEMBERS: Federal Reserve System, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation THE ROCKY MOUNT HERALU, KUCftY MOUNT, NORTH CAROLINA TEACH THE TRUTH ABOUT POVERTYj Bernard Shaw And Aubrey Williams Sound : A Warning The Beneficiaries Of Capital ism Would Do Well To Heed Clipped During the last week two earnest, able and more or less famous gentlemen deliver ed speeches which, unfortunately, have noti attracted the attention they deserve. The boird Atlantic tossed between the speakers. , Probably they had never met nor exchanged words, and yet each placed his finger un erringly on the cause of the world's econo ' mic ills and warned of the frightful conse quences which will certainly follow if that cause is not removed. * * * * * Aubrey Williams, director of the Nation , al Youth Administration, speaking in New r York, pleaded with educators to teach the I truth about poverty. ? "You say schools are free," he said, "and you ask, Why don't these children go , to school? For the great bulk of these chil dren there is but one answer: They cannot afford to. 'There is no use talking to a boy in South I Carolina about going to school when the I average income of his father is $129 a year. "There are 36,000 families in America ! with incomes which equal the incomes of • 10,000,000 families at the bottom of the : heap. "If free education is to mean anything to ■ the 3,500,000 youngsters who are denied op i portunities to go to school, you must ex amine the spread of the national income." ***** On the other side of the ocean, George Bernard Shaw told the British people that ' the war in Spain "is only a skirmish in the class war, the war between Capitalism and Communism, which is at bottom a war be tween labor and land-owning." He pleaded with Britian to "put its house in order" while there is yet time, saying: "What is it that is wrong with our pres ent way of doing things? It is not that we cannot produce enough goods. Our machin es turn out as much work in an hour as 10,- 000 hard workers used to. "But it is not erjpugh for a country to produce goods. It must distribute them asl well, and this is where our system breaks' | down hopelessly. , "Everybody ought to be living quite com- j , fortably by working four or five hours a . day, with two Sundays in the week. Yet millions of laborers die in the workhouse | , or on the dole, after sixty years of hard toil, j J so that a few babies may have hundreds ofi l thousands of dollars before they are born. "It is stupid and wicked on the face of it. 1 \ and it will smash us and our civilization if , we do not resolutely reform it. j "No civilization, however splendid, illus . trious and like our own, can stand up j against the social resentments and class conflicts which follow a silly misdistribution k of wealth, labor and leisure. But that is . the one history lesson that is never taught I in our schools." If the gentlemen who dominate Ameri-j , can and British industry and finance were' ; really smart, they would take time off i from their golf and grouse shooting and \ ponder the words of Bernard Shaw and Au . brey Williams. But they won't. Instead, I they will continue to clamor. "Balance the budget feeding the hungry!" Carteret Firms Paying No Taxes Investigation Ordered By County Commissioners After Report Beaufort, Dec. B.—The Cartaret County Board of Commissioners to day ordered an investigation of the failure of three large industrial firms in the county to pay county , taxes over a period of several years. ' Following a report from Couty Auditor James Davis that no taxes had been paid by the firms, two of which are located in Morehead City and the other having properties throughout the county, the board unanimously ordered the probe. The two Morehead City firms, North Carolina Fisheries, Inc., and the Regal Shirt Company, are ex empt from municipal taxation, but as far as members of the board know are in no way exempt from county taxes. The third firm is the Carolina Tel ephone and Telegraph Company, pjoba/bly the wealthiest concern ope rating in Carteret County. The exact valuation of the prop erties or the amount of unpaid tajes on them were not available tonight. s I LEGAL ADVERTISING | * o NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL ESTATE Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in Deed of Trust from W.
