C. a* second clan mail matter. Politics has met its match in the Farm Control, ac cording to the various candidates who have been trying to "sell themselves" to thfc voters in the coming primary. ; f The necessity for another entrance into Louisburg from the Northeast is very evident now when the town is laying a water main on Halifax road. Even if the Cedar Street extension^was developed to the intersec tion of Green Street," leading from Main near Mr. Thomas' it would be a great convenience to the public as well as a .safety measure as the present situation is very dangerous. This extension,, as a "\VPA project would be v!erv inexpensive and might be the means of saving some one's life as well as opening, np a lot of nice building property. Reports coming in that Louisburg is to be bolted again by other trade highways. This is a matter that needs immediate attention on the part of our County Commis sioners, who have practically the entire authority to au thorize or consent to the location of a highway and it is also their duty to look after the interest of the County. The suggestion of the Town Commissioners that the Board of County Commissioners meet and adopt a gen eral road policy is a good one; Naturally a trade road or one that tends to direct travel around our County tends to reduce its business possibilities and therefore increases our tax burdens over what would otherwise be. Lets have a Vo&d policy leading to and through our County Seat hnd other important towns. THE CRIME OF NOT HAVING $13 "Lorenzo McGuire, 16-year-old Negro, was convicted of stealing $13 in merchandise from the State Drug Store and ordered to reimburse the store or take <>0 days on the roads." That statement from the news report of the Monday morning session of the Raleigh City Court is familiar enough, too familiar. Too many judges mistake their function on the criminal court bench as debt collectors instead of crime correctors. Obviously, under the terms of this judgment Lorenzo McGuire is a criminal if he can't raise $13, a free man if he can. Certainly where such a monetary distinction is made by judges, it is not strange if the distinctions made between right and wrong by those who come before them are not always as clear as they should be. It is no more business of judges to require private res titution than it is to satisfy private vengeance. If a man is a thief, he should be punished as such. Restitu tion tb the robbed is by no means full payment of a crim inal's debt to society. ? News-Observer. % PEOPLE KEEP THEIR PROMISES One of the most iin^rtant things that the growing practice of buying goods on instalments has taught the world is that 95) people out of 100 keep, their promises. That .is important because, before credit began to be ex tended to practically everybody, the markets for almost every kind of goods were limited to those who had saved up cash enou^i to pay for them "on the nail," or who had property assets which could be attached if they fail ed to keep their promises to pay. The widespread distribution of all sorts of commodi ties America, things which used to,, be., considered lukuries only for the rich and are still so ^Migidered in other countries, is due to the recognition'' bV business men and bankers of the essential honesty of; liiqst people. Oyer a period of many years it has been demonstrated that ordinary people of average incomes will pay their debts ? keep their promises ? sooner or later. To~"be sure, there are laws to compel people to keep their pro mises, but in practical epxerience these are seldom invoked. Our whole economic structure is based on promises, in the final analysis. A man takes a job on the employ er's promise to pay him a certain sum at given intervals. * He puts his wages in a bank and gets the banker's promise to return it to him when he wants it. The bank lends the money to someone else who promises to repay it at a certain time. One buys an insurance policy or a bond. "What he gets is a promise. When the time comes for the promise to be kept, the fulfilment pt it is usually in the form of another promise ? a piece 'of paper on which the Federal Reserve system or the U. S. Treasury promises to pay a 'oertain sum on demand. The economic system breaks down when too large a proportion of people who havci made ^roinises find themselves unaWs to make good. Even then, the distress is only temporary. The whole history of our system,^: that, in the long run, most promises are kept. ? ?????????? ? THE MILLS HI ? ?
