PAGE FOUR THE CHATHAM RECORD O. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year sl-50 Six Months 75 ‘ THURSDAY, MAY 9, 1929 sM&ihmaCs DIAGNOSIS AND PRESCRIPTION Attorney B. C. Beckwith of Raleigh wrote us a few days ago that he happened to pick up a copy of the Chatham Record in the court house at Raleigh and read our editorial on ‘‘The Menace of Profit.” He expressed hearty approval of it, and wishes us to discuss the remedies. But diagnosis is often much easier than successful prescrib ing. We do not believe that we proved deductively that the sources of wealth will soon be in the possession of a compar atively few if the present ac cumulations continue. Mr. Beckwith says that such a re sult is inevitable, and it ap pears that he is right when one considers that the funds of the average citizen must go into temporary values, while the vast incomes of the multimil lionaires must almost as neces sarily be invested in permanent values, or in the sources of wealth. But the proof of the tend ency is not dependent upon de duction. Observation indicates the same thing. While the num ber of farmers in the country is steadily decreasing, it is a matter of record that the num ber of tenant farmers in North Carolina is increasing. Also when 15,000 men and women can go on a strike in one Tar heel community, the demon stration that the bulk of the population in many areas is al ready dependent upon wages, is demonstrated. Till Mr. Beckwith wrote it had not occurred to us to pur sue the subject further, but the challenge almost neces sarily provokes thought upon the subject, and if w T e think upon it, we are almost bound to write upon it, sooner or later. Consequently, we can practically assure Mr. Beck with that the matter will be discussed. At the moment, we assume that the first matter for con sideration would be the real effect of the few’s getting pos session of the bulk of the per manent wealth of the country, that is, whether it would be so bad as first thought suggests; then would follow discussions of various preventatives, or hindrances, of such a result. But such a series of articles re quires mature thought, and that takes time. However, with us, writing is the surest means of thinking consecutive ly, and each article will make the next easier. ® It sometimes occurs to the editor of a county weekly that it is almost a waste of time and energy to give thought to the serious discussions of matters of country wide-significance. Yet this writer consoles himself .with the thought that it makes comparatively little difference at what point fire is struck in the prairie or in the woods. It will spread if conditions are right, and if they are not right a blaze started in the very heart of the forest will die out. QUICK WAY TO END UVER TROUBLES Free Proof! Nothing else known to medical science acts so quickly and surely— and yet so gently—as Dodson’s to regulate balky liver and bowels; to purge the system of the poisonous waste which makes people headachy, bilious, weak; with coated tongue, bad breath, no ap petite or energy. Thousands say they have tried everything and never found its equal. You can prove its merit for yourself. Just write Sterling Products, Wheeling, W. Va., for a FREE sample bottle. Do it today. rMrmmHi I EEEESSSSSi TASTES GOOD-ACTS QUICK A rumor has gone out from Boone that a suspicion has arisen that the graduates of the Appalachian school in. that town are being discriminated against by school authorities because of the part that Presi dent Dougherty took in prepar ing the Hancock bill. The suspicion suggests a littleness and meanness hardly credible. , One of the most difficult things for a writer is to detect his slips in a manuscript, par ticularly when his mind is in the same state as during the writing. This writer finds it easy to detect errors which he has overlooked in his manu script when he sees the proof of the printed article, but he hasn’t the privilege of reading his proofs. Last week, he now finds, he inadvertently wrote the value of all property in Chatham county as fifty mil lion dollars, when he had in mind $25,000,000, and follow ed the latter in the following estimates. He discovers, also, that he used 774 pupils con veyed by the school trucks in stead of 794 in securing the quota of 32, instead of 33, pupils to the teacher if the conveyed pupils could have been taught in small schools without the expense of convey ance. Making newspaper proper ties a matter of merchandise and concentrating the manage ment of them into the hands of a few individuals or syndicates is a practice that should be dis couraged. It is more difficult to set up a paper in opposition to one already well establish ed than it is to open an op position store or factory. Ac cordingly, when commercial interests have secured the papers existing in strategic centers they have the field un til the sacrifice of many thou sands of dollars has been made to set one agoing in opposition. It will be a bad day for the country when the newspapers are in the hands of a few syn dicates. Made-to-order opin ions are not in accord with the true spirit of a free press. <s> Mt.

Take a little time each day From the minutes thrown away; Spare it from your work or play— Stop and think! You will find that men who fail Do not think. Men who find themselevs in Jail Do not think. Half the trouble that we see, Trouble brewed for you and me, Probably would never be If we’d think. Shall we, then, consider this? Shall we think? Shall we journey hit or miss? Or shall we think? Let’s not go along by guess, But rather to ourselves confess It would help us more or less, If we‘d think! —Grant T. Billett, Marietta, Pa.
