SOME BUSINESS FACTS.
A close student of business con
ditions, writing in a trade maga
zine of price movemenis and chan
ging volume of business, remarks
that "the line of demand, which
varies as people are economical or
extravagant, is rarely more than
ten per cent, above or below nor
mal." Another business expert remark
ed recently that the actual differ
ence in the volume of goods han
dled, or business done, between
boom times and dull times, was
only about 18 percent.
Such figures sound incredible
at first, but they are probably near
the truth.
The difference between good
times and bad limes is greatly ex
aggerated. Certain industries may
be affecred liighily. Some classes
of merchants may have their trade
cut in two, but merchants in gen
eral suffer far less than that.
Even in the present admittedly
serious pit of depression, figures
shows that the volume of goods
passing over the counters of retail
stores throughout the country is
almost as great as usual, and in
some cities it is greater. The big
drop is not in volume of goods but
in volume of prices.
The employment situation, too,
is distorted by imagination. From
wide-spread reports of unemploy
ment, one might suppose that no
body has a job.
The fact is that there is concen
trated idleness in certain commu
nities which specialize in certain
industries that happen to be hard
hit, but the big majority of work
ing people are working about as
usual.
And, too, there is the great farm
population and the professional
people and nearly all the business
people who are working right
along pretty much as usual.
By the same token, most people
whether busy or idle, imagine they
re worse off in dull times than
they are.
It is not the bulk of business, but
the margin of business, that makes
what we call prosperity or depres
sion. The tail may some times
seem 10 wag the dog, but still the
tail is not the dog.
THE RUSSIAN COLLAPSE.
Twenty million persons in Rus
sia are on the verge of starvation
and yet there has been no crop fail
ure in that country. The trouble is
that under the soviet rule the trans
portation system and the currency
system have broken down
The railroads have been allowed
to go to ruin and the money issued
by the government is worthless.
All trade is now done on a bar
ter basis. A man exchanges some-
thing that he has for something
that he wants. There is no credit
Farmers have more foodstuffs
than they need, but there is no
market for the surplus. People in
the cities and towns are out of
food, but they have nothing to give
the farmers in exchange for it.
Tliev are out of work, and even if
they could get work and receive
money for their work, the money
would be worthless and the farm
ers would not take it.
The disaster has been brought
on by the crazy dream of soviet
control of the government and all
government activities. Soviet rule
means that all men are equal and
iiave an equal voice in the govern
ment. Ignorance and incompe
tency are put on the same level as
experience and ability.
The old government in Russia
was corrupt and despotic, and peo-
The revival services .11 the Bap
lisi Church closed Sunday night.
The attendance for the entire week
was fine. At the closing service
the seating capacity of the church
was taxed to overflowing. Possi
bly mofe people attended the ser
vices than any ever held in Weldon.
Mr. Furman Betis, of Raleigh,
led the song service and did it
splendidly, till Saturday, when he
had 111 leave for a meeting at the
State University.
Kcv Marshall Craig of the First
Baptist Church, Petersburg, Va.,
ai Jed the pastor for a week and
greatly endeared himself to the
people of Weldon. For lour years 1
he was pastor at Kinston, where 1
he was greatly loved by all the peo
ple. They did not willingly give j
hi in up to Petersburg, and while
here, eight of his friends from J
there came up to spend a few hours
with him and to hear him preach
again.
His presentation of the gospel j
was earnest, tender, appealing, ,
with the charm of eloquence and
the spirit of his Master. He only
came for a week, but it aroused a
pity that he could not remain longer
as the meeting had just reached
thai stage where we might look
for large visible results. The co
operation of the Christian forces of
the town was beautifur and highly
appreciated. It is to be hoped that
the meeting continuing in the M.
E. Church this week will round
up the work so splendidly begun
and that the whole series of meet
ings will prove a great moral and
spiritual uplighi to the town and
community.
A Bolshevist does not believe in
wearing any man's collar.
All things come to those who
wail, even a new tariff law.
Ikeland, apparently, had rather
have own way than be right.
When a man gets real blue he
is not so intolerant of the Reds.
The Soviets had a remedy for
everything except food shortage.
The boll weevil, like the rain,
visits the just as well as ihe unjust.
It was a mistake to locate all
those oil wells in Mexico, anyway.
Another grievance against
capital is that it is hard to gel hold
of.

Catarrhal Deafness Can't be Cured I
by local applications, as they cannot
reuch the diseased portion of the car.
There iB only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inllamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the Eus
tachian Tube. When this tube is in
llamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entire,
ly clused, Deafness is the result, andunt
less the intlammatiou can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearingwill be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out often are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
llamed condition of the mucous sur
faces.

CALOMEL MAY TURN
ON YOU NEXT TIME
Next Dose Vou Take May Salivate
and Start World of Trouble.
Calomel is mercury: quicksilver,
It crashes into sour bile like dyna
mile, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and
should never be put into the sys
tern.
If you feel bilious, headachy,
constipated and all knocked out,
just go to your druggist and get a
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for
a few cents which is a harmless
vejitable substitute for darjtrotis
calomel. Take a spoonful and if
it doesn't start your liver and
straighten you up better and quick
er than nasty calomel and without
making you sick, you jusi go back
and get your money.
Don't take calomel! It makes
you sick the next day; it loses you
a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone
straightens you right up and feel
great. No salts necessary. Give
it to the children because it is per
fectly harmless and can not sali
vate.
