TO BUiUi BP THE SMALL TOWN
Decentralization of Manufacturing Erings Markets for
Products Closer to the Farm—Gives Employment
and Better Standards of Living to
Rural Communities,
By T. R. PRESTON
President, American Bankers Association
NO class of people has been more diligent in trying so under
stand the agricultural problem than the bankers of this
country. The agricultural problem is a real problem and de
mands the best thought of everyone. , This
L .. . .... country cannot continue along happy lines
8 with only sections of the country prosperous.'
Prosperity must be passed around if any
body is long to enjoy it. This question can
not be solved by the farmers alone, but the
majority opinion is that there is no legisla
tive remedy for agriculture. It is an eco
nomic question pure and simple and must be
worked out accordingly.
A few years ago it was contended that
agriculture did not have sufficient credit
facilities. That proposition was often made
a political question. Ido not presume there
are many who wiil question the fact that
agriculture now has ample credit facilities.
Mixing Farms and Factories
It is a fact that no community and no
t. R..PR.ESTON state has ever become great purely from
agriculture. It is not to the interest of New York and other
great centers to see the small communities and the agricultural
sections losing their wealth and importance. In the end it will
react upon them to their disadvantage.
There seems to me a real remedy for
these small communities and also for
agriculture. This remedy, which i-3
the mixing of industry with agricul
ture, is now being applied in many lo
calities with satisfactory results.
Industry and agriculture are better
balanced in Ohio, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania than in any other states
of the Union, and in these states
there is no serious agricultural prob
lem and we hear little complaint from
the farmers. This mixing of industry
Mixing Industry With Agriculture Means Prosperity for Rural Districts
and agriculture is called by some de
centralization of industry.
I would not suggest that manufac
turing institutions move from tho
cities to the small villages, but 1 do
think it would be better for this coun
try for future industries to be placed
in these small villages rather than
to be further congested in the great
centers. This would in part also be
a solution of our labor problem. The
bringing of industries to small vil
lages increases the market for agri
cultural products, gives employment
to surplus la ! ior. elevates the stand
ards of living, increases public reve
nue, reduces taxes and vastly increases
educational facilities.
Two Striking Examples
I believe 1 can give you two strik
ACID STOMACH !
RUINS APPETITE

v — !
!
Thin, pale people—the despondem
sort, who never have an appetite, an;,
complain of headaches, indigestion, diz- i
ziness, biliousness, usually have too (
to-.u-h acid in their stomach. And unless j
they displace it, any food they eat turn-;
into sour bile and foul gases, which i
poison their system.
Pape's Diapepsin dissolves that poi- j
sonous acid, sweetens the stomach and;
digests your meals. Many thousands of
peopl e have brought ha'dc the appetite
of til eir youth and gained weight simply j
hv chewing one of the pleasant tablets !
of Pape’s Diapensin after meals.
It does what it promises. That's the '
reason 5 million packages are used a j
year—ask vour nearest t ibr it !

ing examples from my own state to
prove this proposition, and I mention
these because 1 am more familiar
with conditions there than elsewhere.
Twelve years ago Kingsport, Ten
nessee, had a population of about one
thousand. Great industries like a
large camera company, a big cement
plant and a number of other indus
tries were located there partly through
the influence of an outstanding New
York business man. In a little more
than twelve years these have broughi
the population of that city up to
seventeen thousand. Just a few miles
away, at Elizabethton, they are build
ing a great rayon plant, the first unit
to cost $5,000,000. The population of
that town is now two thousand, but
it is estimated that this will be multi
! plied by five in less than two years
It is stated that the total investment
in manufacturing industry in that com
munity within a period of five years
J will probably reach $50,000,000.
The balancing of industry and agri
’ culture will solve most of our so-called
! agricultural problems and we will not
need such political measures as will in
■ my opinion, do harm if enacted to the
I very class they pretend to benefit.
GULF ITEMS •
The Easter Star order of Goldstar,
invited the Masons and their wives
to Goldston Friday night to a sup
per and entertainment. Those who
attended from here were as follows:
Dr. and Mrs. Palmer, Mr. and Mrs.
J. R. Moore, Mr. and Mrs. D. E.
Murchison, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. John
son and B. A. Asborne. All reported
a good time and partook so much ot
the bountiful feast we are afraid
they won’t be able to go again soon.
Several officers and members of
BYPU of Bethany Baptist church
attended the special BYPU. program
at Siler City Baptist church Sunday
! afternoon 3 o’clock. They report a
| very instructive and inspiring pro
gram.
Miss May Asborne of this place
and Mrs. J. S. Lilly of Raleigh vis
-1 ited in Goldsboro a few clays last
week.
Mr. G. E. Oldham who was cav
; ried to C. C. hospital at Sanford
| three weeks ago for treatment is
i improving and we hope may soon
be at home with his family and
friends.
Miss Ma r y L. Palmer of Durham
spent the week-end with home folk.
| • Mr Clay Grubb of Wake Forest
i college spent the week-end with his
i sisters. Mesdames A. J. Little and
! R. T. Beck.
Mesdames Alton Jordan and Free
man Smith of Durham, visited Mrs.
G. P. Murch’son Thursday afternoon
i after attending the funeral at Bus
-1 fold of their aunt, Mrs. Emily Web
j ster, who was struck by a car in
! Gieensboro Monday p. m. was car
i ried to hospital for treatment, but
| died Tuesday night.
j SHOWING OFF THE NEW FORD
| The editor had the privilege of
i accompanying Mr. J. C. Weeks in his
now Fo.d on quite a round Thursday
afternoon. The long-looked for
sample arrived Wednesday, and Mr.
Weeks was btsv the balance of the
weei: demonstrating it here and at
other points in the county.
The first stop was at Coal Glenn,
where Mr. Howard Butier and num
ber of employees of the mine and
Mr. Matthews manager of the store
looked it over. And while the Ford
held the attention largely, the Re
cord man did not altogether neglect
the business of getting subscribers.
Four or five new names were put
on here, and at the Carolina Fire
proofing Company, the tile and brick
plant, the same, processes were gone
through. Gulf also saw the new car,
as did Goldston and Bear Creek.
The sample is a- Tudor sedan, and
is a beauty. It goes like forty and
can turn in an ordinary road.
Mr.. David Weeks, a brother oi
the Fdird man, who had come in the
day before from New Jersey, where
he has been employed by the Stan
dard Oil Co., also was a member so
the exploring party.
Mr. Weeks hopes to begin his de
liveries next month and to gradu
ally increase them during the year.
D. E. OVERBY SUCCEEDS
SUPT. H. L. LONGNECKER
Mr. H. L. Longnecker, who has so
ably managed the Carolina Fireproof
Brick and Tile plant at Gulf, has
been promoted to the superinten
dency of all the business of the
Hood Brick Company, and has his
headquartres at Charlotte. He is
succeeded as superintendent of the
Gulf plant by Mr. D. E. Overby,
who has been in charge of the plant
at Monroe. Mr. Overby came a
week ago, and will move his family
to the plant as soon as Mr. Long
necker has vacated the superinten
MOTHER j
f A Cross, Feverish Child is Bilious, )
t Constipated j
Every mother realizes, after giving
her children '‘California Fig Syrup.’ 5
that this is their ideal laxative, be
cause they love its pleasant taste and
it thoroughly cleanses the tender little
stomach, liver and bowels without
griping.
When cross, irritable, feverish, or
breath is bad, stomach sour, look at
the tongue, mother! If coated, give a
teaspoonful of this harmless, “fruity
laxative, 55 and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, sour bile and
undigested food passes out of the bowels,
and you have a well, playful child
again. When the little system is full
of cold, throat sore, has stomach-ache,
diarrhoea, indigestion, colic—remember,
a good “inside cleansing 55 should always
be the first treatment given.
Millions of mothers keep “California
Fig Syrup” handy; they know a tea
epoonful today saves a sick child to
morrow. Ask your druggist for a bot
tle of “California Fig Syrup. 55 which

TURN IT AROUND
... . ; i
People SPEND money on the installment plan,
for that is an easy way to buy things without
paying all at once. Why not turn the plan
around?
Why not SAVE money on the installment plan?
It can be done by putting a little deposit in our
Bank each month. In time there will be a nice
little nest egg that will be earning you something.
Plan to SAVE instead of SPEND. It can be done.

HARDLY 4
(Mt. Olive Tribune) <
Senator Simmons thinks the lea- <
ders of the Republican party are <
anxious for the Democrats to nomi- <
nate A1 Smith for President. He <
goes further than that and charges <
them with working to tnat end. 4
To our way of thinking, the sen- <
ator is somewhat illogical in his J
notion about that. Judging from <
present surface indications, Smith -
undoubtedly is . the strongest man ,
the Democrats could name for pres
ident, the one man, perhaps, with
whom they could look forward to the
election with some measure of hope
61 success. . ■
Does the senator, then, think that
the Republicans are foolish enough <
to deliberately court disaster at the <
polls? Isn’t v such a notion contrary \
to the usual workings of human na- <
ture? ' . \ <
Smith’s nomination quite likely <
will cause some dissension in his <
party in the South, and for that rea- J
son, some Southern Republicans, be- ,
lieving that their party would, nev- <
ertheless, be successful at the polls, ]
might be of the notion that Mr. Sim- <
mons charges for local reasons; but ‘
hardly any of the responsible lead- !
ers.
More farmers in North Carolina
are recleaning and treating their
tobacco seed before planting this
season than ever before in the his
tory of the State. Some farm agents
who have recleaning machines state
that from 15 to 25 men bring in
their seed each day. One agent
treated seed for 150 growers in one
day recently.
