I WORD 0. ST<» - T 0 the FARMERS H- Stone, P 1 * 8 ” 1 ® 11 * of the * Xrolina Farmers Union, has a spirited statement within 5 let few days. 5e |a for Rate Discriminations. his remarks to the farm- Carolina, Mr. Stone said: S° f * for t he proposition to enable lanl1 anl te t 0 establish port terminals £ , ir .intain water transportation, for the recovery of the C. F. 3 V. railroad. I believe these 1 ‘ are absolutely necessary to and just freight rates for Carolina. I am a farmer. Our do not realize that they pay coming and going. That ** eople are required to pay unjust ht rates has been proved beyond 'phs injustice affects the farm- ore than any other classs; it c a , es the price of what they buy the price of what they Amount to Millions. estimated that we are pay [ more than $10,000,000 a year in W,, it freight rates. Figures show be tnd controversy that the big railroad Corporations are collecting much high freight in this state than in other J ates through which they run. Our iJouble is we have no water compe tition. The only remedy is for the crate to provides water competition, r(j e ast-and-west railway competition lam in favor of all necessary expenditures to relieve the state from bondage to the big railroad corpora tions, will probably save in two years to the people of this state an amount equal to the entire bond is sue called for. This is sound economy. jj 0 m an objects to contracting a debt that will pay profits at the rate of 50 to 100 per cent a year. The prop osition now before our people will cut down railroad freights by $.10,000,000 a year. -. • ~- 1 Discriminations Prevent- Building Large Cities. II “The present freight rates prevent | our building up large' cities in this I state and tend to build up big cities I far away from our borders. The farm- I ers of North Carolina could do a Lgreat deal better by themselves if we [ had larger cities in the state. We I would have a better sale for all our [products. So this matter appeals to I me as one which will not only enable I die farmer to get lower prices when I he comes to town to buy farming im- I plements, fertilizers, and supplies, but will also enable him to get better I prices for what he has to sell. No Taxes to be Levied. I “Finally, let me say that there is no danger that the tax to support the I bonds required in this great enter prise will in anywise fall upon prop | ertv owners. There is no property tax in North Carolina for state purposes. Let the farmers bear in mind that l riiile they are voting for bonds they not voting any taxes upon them— 'elves. Taxes are paid by incomes and inheritances. On the other hand, they are voting for lower freight rates and -or larger markets near them, and for a better opportunity to sell in home markets at their own price. It seems to me that these considerations ought to move the farmers of North Carolina to carry this election. Farmers Have Golden Opportunity. “Rarely in our history has a great er opportunity been presented to the farmers to do something for them sebes and improve their condition. I every farmer to study the ques- I ’ f° O R into it for yourself. Do not ? t political hirelings deceive you or j®doud the issue. On the other hand 1 us stand together and fight this a We through to a victorious conclu sion.” Vote for Terminals. The gist of Mr. Stone’s appeal to ;J e fai mers of North Carolina is, °te for State Terminals and Water r for the individual ben -6 its secured therefrom.” r ECORD drought reported.

GREEN X Editor of “HEALTH” £ TII7E ARE just beginning to appre * * ctate the value of sunlight as a health-producer. The ancient people worshiped the sun, which they recognized as the source of all energy arid life. Modern science Is proving what the ancient civilizations believed. King Tut has had more front-page publicity in the last two years than any living man. His name is known today to ten times as many people as ever heard of him while he was alive. King Tut was a sun-worshiper, as were many of the people of his day. The Greeks took sun baths regularly. The Romans knew that sunlight Is of benefit in healing sores and infections and In maintaining health. Pliny, the Roman historian, writes that his aged friend Spurinna kept himself youthful by taking an hour’s sunbath every day. When civilization moved from south ern to central and northern Europe, people wore heavy clothing and lived in houses and forgot the value of sun light Dr. Rollier of Switzerland reports remarkable cures of tuberculosis In children by the use of sunlight. Dr. Lo Grosso, medical director of J. N. Adams Memorial hospital at Perrys burg, N. Y., gets wonderful results In bone and skin tuberculosis by undress ing the children and keeping them in the sunshine and fresh air. Even In winter the children wear nothing but overshoes to keep their feet dry and caps to protect their heads and ears. Dr. Lo Grosso says, “With the ex ception of one or two isolated hospitals we are neglecting the greatest of all | healers, the sun. Our eyes are cast j down, whereas healing is from the ; skies.” | Sunlight kills disease germs In a i short time. The more sunlight we ! have In our houses the healthier we are. The more we get out in the sun light the healthier our bodies will be. I Exposure of the skin to sunlight ! lowers blood pressure, increases the depth of respiration, dilates the blood vessels and brings the blood to the sur face. The number of blood corpuscle! is increased, as well as the power of ' resisting disease. : This remedy must be used with eon> ! mon sense. A sunburn Is just as paln > fnl and as bad as any other kind of • burn. Don't go out the first day the bathing beaches are open and lie all day in the sunlight. Don’t try to get the tan In a few days of summer vaca tion that should have accumulated all through the year. Get the good effects of the sun without the bad effects. Get outdoors every day all the year round, especially in the summer, and get the benefit of the healing and stimulating effect of sunlight—the source of all heat, light and life In the universe.

His text was taken from Phillippians, 4th chapter and Bth verse, which is as follows: “Finally, brethern, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoev er things are lovely, whatsoever things are good report: if there be any. virtue, and if there be any praise,! think on these things.” Mr. and Mrs. A.
