By the insistency of these bonus marchers it would seem that they fail to give any con sideration at all to the fact that they are the best cared for and highest paid war vet erans in the world, a fact which should make them take off their hats to Uncle Sam as all true Americans took off their hats to these veterans when they came home from the foreign battle lines with victory written in their trails where they made new inroads across the German battle lines. All these things cannot be forgotten and should not be un der estimated by our people. But the soldiers of other countries underwent a longer struggle and suffered even greater hardships perhaps than did Uncle Sam’s men, and yet they do not draw anything like the pay from their gov ernments that Uncle Sam’s men draw; however we do not hear as much of a clamor by the soldiers across the seas in their efforts to bleed their countries for advanced pay ments on war claims. Uncle Sam has been exceed ingly good to his soldier boys and if there should be those who feel otherwise about it let t]jem read the following com parative figures which have recently been published in the “Public Pulse” column of the Greensboro Daily News: America gave generously of mon ey so long a- she had it to give -—an average of $223 per ex-soldier this year. Compared -with other countries: England, .$26; France, $33; Canada, $98; we have nothing to be ashamed of. (From Union Republican) Mr. Editor:—In its i.“siie (of Au- gu.st 3, 1931, the Winston-Salem Journal in commenting on Mr. Max well’s speech at Selma before the Kiwanis Club said Mr. Maxwell de- fends the Legislature and in its i comments the Journal says “con stant and persistent efforts to be little and discredit the enactments of the recent General Assembly” were given a decided rebuke by Commissioner of Revenue Maxwell. Governor Gardner did the very same thing in an article defending the last Legislature which in my opinion was about the worst the State was ever cur.sed with “which opinion seems to jibe with that of the Greensboro News which uses this expression in regard to calling a special session of the Legislature. “In Governor Gardner’s statement there is no suggestion of the hor ror of horrors, an extraordinary session.” In an article in the Greensboro News of September 30, 1931, we find this heading: “A. J. Maxwell asks the public to co-operate in this crisis. Gubernatorial candidate says state must elect General Assembly and administration committee to thorough readjustment of tax bur dens.” • This shows how quickly Mr. Max well’s opinion of the work of the last Legislature had changed from praise in August to condemnation in September which change was manifested all the way through his speeches in his campaign for Gover nor this year which, by the way, were the most sensible made by any candidate for Governor in the Dem ocratic primary. And now the Governor finds him self in a “devil of a fix,” as report ed in the Greensboro News of last Saturday, facing a deficit of six and a half million dollars after spend ing the sixty-two million dollars which he said some time ago was the cost of our state government now as compared with the cost of twenty million dollars in 1926. This cost of sixty-two million dollars with its deficit is not all the story for in addition to this the parents have had to pay two mil lion dollars extra for their children’s school books that could have been purchased for about one million dollars. How long will our people continue to travel this road to bankruptcy ? JUSTICE. CORONER OF FORSYTH CHANGES HIS MIND. REPUBLICANS IN “SOUTH start a real campaign Organizing for an intensive cam paign in the South this year, the Republicans plan to carry their fighting to the hitherto rock-ribbed Democratic states of Georgia, Mis sissippi and South Carolina. These states have been Democrat ic since just after the War Between the States, and the general elections in November have merely ratified Democratic nominees for office. Even four years ago, when Hoover broke the “Solid South” for the first time Tn -many years, Georgia, South Car olina and Mississippi followed their traditional Democratic tendencies. 'Mississippi and South Carolina in creased their Democratic majorities. Democrats .say the entire South and the border states will give big majorities for Roosevelt and Garner in November, but the Republicans dispute this and say they not only expected to hold the four states of Florida, North Carolina, Virginia ■ and Texas, which they captured in 1928, but hope to add others to T:he Hoover and Curti.s column. The campaign for the Republican national ticket will be backed by fights for senatorial and congres sional seats throughout the South and in. many instances for county and state offices. Mississippi and South Carolina will have Republican candidates for Congress in each district to oppose the Democratic nominee. This will be the first time in nearly half a century that the Republican party in Mississippi has entered a candi date in each district. The candidates of the party in that state have sig nified their intention of running as “drys”, basing their support of pro hibition on the plank adopted by their state conventions. This oppos ed repeal of tlft 18th Amendment and modification of the Yohstead act. They declared their allegiance to the national party. The Forsyth county coroner was roundly berated by several state papers for the manner in which he acted in the Reynolds killing affair. He first pronounced it a cal^e of suicide and closed the books, then changed his mind and ordered an nquest and tried to hold it pri vately, but public pressure was too great and he had to get away from that position finding there was no law for private inque.sts. The For syth coroner and the Davidson cor oner should have their pictures tak en together and sold for the benefit of the poor and needy. The David son county coroner pulled a boner In the Sheriff Leonard shooting sev eral months ago when he failed to swear the two lawyers engaged in the affair, on the Bible, bul just al lowed them to hold up their hand and it is said on this technicality the two lawyers who are under in dictment for perjury may be freed Union Republican., of Greensboro, 'Republican nominee for Governor, opened his campaign on Saturday, July 16th, with a speech at Newton, Catawba County. Judging from re ports, his speech, which was large ly an appeal to the Christian me^ ani women and all good citizens of North Carolina to rally every ounce of their strength in support of those who had taken a firm stand in fa vor of safety, sobriety, decency and good morals, in government as well as in the home, has been well re ceived throughout the state. He warned the people of the state again.st the intollerable conditions ' that would prevail with a return of the saloon. The nominee took issue with those who assert that prohibition has increased drinking. Alluding to Robert R. Reynolds, of Asheville, Democratic candidate for United States Senator, he remarked, “Mr. Reynolds tells us that he doesn’t advocate the return of licjuor be cause it has "never left us.” Neither has typhoid fever been eradicated. It has not left us but the diligence of our health authorities has great ly reduced the number of its vic tims. Would we cease for a moment our efforts to "control this deadly disease simply because we had not heretofore been able to totally erad icate it? Mr. Frazier said that from 1910 to 1914 the approximate average yearly consumption of di.stilled li quor was 22.43 gallons for every man, woman and child in the Unit ed-States, or 100 gallons for an av erage family. Since prohibition the per capita consumption of distilled liquors, light wines and beers has been reduced to about seven gallons, or one-third of the pre-prohibition consumption. In 1908 there was one liquor dealer for every 333 men, women and children in this country and one for every 74 families. Mr. Frazier quoted “the director of prohibition” as presenting fig ures to eshow for enforcement of prohibition in the last 12 year.s “a total cost of $284,156,524, with to tal collections from fines, penalties and revenue from lawfully distilled and fermented liquors of $584,588,- 884, a net balance of $264,432,360. Hence, it cost nothing to enforce the law during the period.” Mr. Friziar, who is a Quaker, graduated at the State University more thgn 20 years ago, being a classmate of Dr. Graham who is now at the head of that- great ed ucational institution. After leaving the University he located in Greens boro, where he has since built up a lucrative law practice. He has never pushed himself forward in politics, and many times when urg ed by friends to accept political honors, he has declined, with state ments to the effect that he pre ferred to remain a private in the ranks ot the Republican party. This year when the demand be came overwhelming he agreed to ac cept the nomination and make the race for Governor. He is very pop ular wherever known.

After many years of use we would not exchange Black-Draught for any medicine.” P. S. — If you have Children, give them the neio, pleasant-tasting SYRUP of Thedford’s Blach-Draught. DEMOCRATS NOTHING OFFER TO THE MAN IN THE WHITE HOUSE Mt, Clemen.'! ^icb.) Monitor The found of the gavel had hardly opened the session of Congress, when President Hoover began pour ing in constructive measures with rapid fire succession. Practically ev ery worthwhile • and sound move to battle depression and restore busi ness had its origination in the White House. No President ever gave more of his time or more of his energy in efforts to solve that problem. In fast, never before in the history of the nation, has the gevornment ap plied means so extensively in deal ing with an economic condition. :S * * His political opponents, who at tempt to make out that Mr. Hoover lacks the courage to face an issue, haven’t a leg to stand on. Who has more courageously taken a stand on such controversial issues as the bonus, economic^ relief ,the tax bill or the tariff? The President has stood as a guardian of the nation’s purse str ings, and every effort at raiding the Federal treasury has been riddled by Mr. Hoover with denunciations in no uncertain terms—although he realized on occasion after occasion that he might be sacrificing his po litical future. Labor World The working people of the coun try and indi^stry in general are more interested in something construc tive that means jobs, wages and profits. Strangely, the Democratic party has completely ignored labor in its platform. It has ignored all protec tion for the wage earner’s salary. Tariff for revenue only is offered, which, of course, means starvation wages. There is nothing in the plat form about immigration; in fact, it is silent on the subject, probably be cause Tammany and Frank Hague both want the bars let down. No constructive plan is offered to rehabilitate industry, and unemploy ment relief, either by a dole or jobs, is also ignored. The coal miner, the milWorker, tho«e in the textile industry, eppper, oil and lumber are not offered a single thing, except tariff reduction. The Democratic party has .staked its all aparently on the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment and. modification of the Volstead act to permit light wines and beer. It is true that the American Fed eration of Labor has in its program the return of light wine and beer, but everything else that the A. F. of L. advocates and stands for the Democratic party is silent upon in its platform. It is, therefore, quite apparent that the big interests or Wall Street dicated the platform, which is in line with a policy to squeeze wages down to the lowest point in many years. The farmers also are offered little or nothing ,and they are already, like labor, up in arms. The issue of jobs and bread and butter is the great issue before the whole world and it cannot be cast aside for the issue of repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment with which Congress alone can deal. ? Timely Farm Questions Answered At State College Money From Hogs | Expected This Fall! Q. What is the best spray for bit ter rot in apples and when should I spray ? A. A mixture containing two pounds of copper sulfate, also known at bluestone, three pounds of builders lime, and fifty gallons of water is recommended. Any .soft soap or skim milk added to the mix ture ' at the rate of one-half pound to each fifty gallons of ^mixture will give 'greater spreading and sticking qualities. The spray .should be applied right away and at suf ficient intervals throughout the sum mer in order to maintain a good coating on the trees, Q. When should the fall crop of cabbages be planted and what var ieties are best? A Fall cabbage is primarily a crop suited to the Eastern half of the State due to climate conditions. Plants for the crop should ■ be set about the middle of August for most of the Coastal Plain area. There are many varieties that have proven satisfactory but “Succession” and “All Seasons” have given best results. Farmers who have hogs for sale during the next few months may expect to make some profit on the animals. This applies especially to those who have followed the system of feeding hogs with surplus corn supplemented by protein feed and minerals. “We fully expect those men who have followed our system of con verting their surplus corn into pork and who have animals ready for sale during the next two months to make some money,” says W. W. Shay, swine extension specialist at State College. “Feeding remonstrations now under way show that the anim als are returning from 65 to 70 cents for the corn they are con suming when sold at the present Richmond prices. There appears to be slight chance of an early decline in price.” Mr. Shay gives as his reason for this, the fact that there was 64,656,- 000 less pounds of pork in cold storage on July 1 than on June 1, one month previous. The amount of such storage was 43,461,000 pounds less than on July 1 one year ago. Then too, he says, the number of hogs received at the 63 principal markets during the past June was 10.8 percent less than in June 1931 and 23t6 percent less than the June average for the past five years. The Stocker and feeder shipments were 28.4 and 45.4 percent less than one year ago and an average of the last five years, respectively. “We are .-till of the opinion that the man who will get into the hog feeding game in North Carolina and stay with it-year in and year out will make a more substantial ' profit from his corn than by cash crop farming,” Shay says. “The man who gets in or out according to thq mai-ket however, will always be do ing _ both too late for greate.st ad vantage. I would like to see much of the great corn crop of North Carolina sent to" market as pork to the advantage’ of the land as well as the owned.” - Reduced Prices AT WHITE HOUSE Cafe 3 Meals $1 Maxwell House Coffee With Every Meal BARBECUE 6.5c POUND —SERVICE— AND QUALITY FOODS Selma, N.
