Fine prop osition that, if it were work able. But if everybody were a farmer and had his own little farm and mule and plows, etc., it is difficult to see just who would tend yours if you should decide to quit and live on rents. But you must have twice as large a farm as is required to produce your own needs if you are to rent it and a living is to be produced for you and the ten ant, too. But one man could - not tend a two-man crop. Apply the same method to machinery, to merchandising, to transportation, and you get similar results. If everybody had his own capital, sufficient „to make him a living without his own labor, then everybody might quit work, and then , .what would happen? The in dividualist knows less, appar-’ ently, about economic possi bilities for all the people than anybody ekse. It is as impos sible for all to be rich as it is for every body to become president. ~ But under a different reg ime it is possible for every one to have enough, or more, from >the products of the two wealth sources of capital and labor. The material sources of wealth are almost already ae quired by a small coterie ol the people, and it is as im practicable as useless to lay up products of the soil or fac tory for future use, and if one should, there would be no income from it. Joseph could save up corn during the seven full years for the seven lean ones in the dry Egyp tian climate, but one would not like to eat flour made from seven-year-old wheat in this country. If he laid up automobiles or clothing they would be out of fashion. O Money! ■ Yes, that is where the average man is led into economic fallacies. He thinks that money is wealth. If everybody had a cartload of money and should quit work, it would be a fine come off. Or even if one alone should quit, wouldn’t he have a fine time loaning out his money or buying goods with it. But Mr. Rascob’s proposi tion would be more possible if it were not permitted for any to get more than the sum he suggests as riches. But since there is a limit to the natural sources of wealth, and the need of goods to fill the channels of trade as effectu ally limit the profitable estab lishment of factories, shops, farms, etc., when five per cent of the people own ninety-five per cent of the wealth sources and are not going to give them up in exchange for non producing wealth, a second obstacle presents itself to the achievement of the very de sirable end of everybody’s having sufficient investments to make him a living income. All needed is for everyone to hsve a chanqe to earn his share while in health, and to have his needs provided when unable to work. The common stock provides the needs of the non-working rich man, only he has by hook or crook made the provision for hirm self, and a most liberal one. MORE ABOUT KUDZU <§> In the July issue of the Golden Age appears an arti cle by W. H. Barton about Japanese Kudzu. Mr. Barton is a South Carol;nian, long connected with farm work. He was reared .on a farm in Greenville county and when the editor of The Record first knew him he was principal of the Greenville, S. C., high school. Later he was state superintendent of the South Carolina schools, if we re member correctly, and from that position entered the farm extension work, where he has had notable success. We sug gest that every farm reader give the following article the most careful attention. What Mr. Barton writes is reliable, and he has pictured a won derful feed and soil enrich ment plant in kudzu. Editor Ashcraft of The Monroe En quirer, a practical farmer, is equally enthusiastic about kudzu. Mr. Barton’s article follows: “One of the most wonderful pasture plants known to the South is Japanese Kudzu; but we have until recently been ig norant of its merits as such. Kudzu is a legume and uses the same inoculation as cow peas; hence it will grow vigorously anywhere in the South if plant ed on well-drained soil. No other known plant will so completely dominate all other growth and take charge of soil. It will even smother trees and succeed them, when once it gets well estab lished. Our poor, red, rocky, gullied hills, once they are set in Kudzu, wiH graze more live stock to the acre than any other pasture plant known. “This vine is perennial in its growth (needs to be planted but once) and will smother out Ber muda, nutgrass, even wild on- . ions, when once it is well estab lished. It gets its nitrogen from the air and needs only ‘acid' and kainit (or other form of potagh), and is one of the best known plants for stopping gullies and making ‘waste lands’ pay a good profit instead of hanging like a black pall on our tax liabilities, . “It has been known to ‘run’ 50 to 100 feet in one season; and each year’s growth remains alive like grape vines and as soon as the land is matted with such a growth, the rapid growth of side runners (which grow erect) furnishes an amazing amount of green grazing that tastes better to a cow than probbaly any other green growth known to the ‘Bossie’ family. “One of the best methods of establishing Kudzu is to plant it five to ten feet apart each way, fertilize, and cultivate for one season to keep down other growth until the vines .can cover ' ti e land. Then graze only light ly for' the first year, and ever afterward. Divide the area into halves and alternate the graz ing; let stock graze one to two weeks at a time on each half. This will keep the plant more vigorous. Only two-year-old Kudzu roots should be planted. Anything younger than that is liable to die when transplant ed.” To the above Editor Ash craft adds the following com ment: “Brother Barton knows where of he speaks, except that ‘only two-year-old roots should) be planted.’ Seed is the proper and inexpensive way to grow Kudzu. But it is now too late in the summer season to trans plant roots or sow seed.” €>— Henry Ford is reported to have raised the minimum wage in his factories to $7.00 a day. No maximum is fixed —he ca?n pay as high as he pleases. And that is it—as high as he pleases because he can fix his own products’ prices as high as he chooses. He is also reported as fore seeing the day when factories will run without profits.. But he would* riot have to be a prophet if ~he would buy a cottoii miFl, or any other fac tory that must compete with production under non-monop olistic conditions, and inau gurate his seven-dollars-up Wage. He would demonstrate his forecast. Two or three THE CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C factories have as real a ■ mo nopoly of cheaper automo biles as if the monopoly l had been t granted by law\ Almost any /community can erect a little' cotton mill that will com pete in cost of production with the larger mills, but let it try to turn out cars on a small schedule in competition with the Ford plant, and Ford’s monopoly wou 1 d be demonstrated, even if it were actual Fords being made. R. D. Griffin, who died near Wake Forest last week, at the age of 96, summed up his life, a short while before his de mise as indicated below, and who can say that he does not merit the “well done, thou good and faithful serv ant”? We are reminded of old Brother Caldwell in Lou isiana, who had three edu cated sons and two educated daughters, yet said he had never made a cent in a trade or in any other way except from the produce of his little highland farm'. Such men pay their way in the world, are the salt of the earth. Said Mr. Griffin: “I ain’t never got drunk, nor cussed; I never had a failin’ out with nobody, nor a law suit; I’Ye. always voted-the Democratic ticket through thick and thin; be longed to the Baptist church since I was a boy, and worked hard all my life.” <e> Sfc 3j( «j|» * * Moncure News * * sjc sjc sjc His many friends will be glad to know that Dr. J.

Mills, Manager ODE TO CREDIT $ Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said: “This is a debt that I must pay, To him who trusted me that way.” If such there be, go mark him well, For him no bank account shall swell; No angel on the golden stair Shall welcome home a millionaire. The man who shuns the debt he made And the friend him willing aid, Cares more for resff than worldly gain, While thoughts of work just give him pain. Tread lightly, friends, let no rude sound Disturb his solitude profound; Here let him live in calm repose, Unsought except by men he owes, And when he dies go plant him deep, That naught may break his dreamless sleep; Wherein no clamor may dispel The quiet that he has loved so well; And that the world may know its loss Place on his grave a wreath of moss, And on the tomb that marks his grave, “He took mor£*with Tiim than he gave.” i • - ALL WE CAN DO “After all,” said the cheerful optimist, “the * first ten commandments are the hardest.” Quite so, if that’s any consolation. But we are not handing out any command ments—or even entreaties. We do desire to tell you of the excellent banking facilities we are maintaining for your convenience. After that, it’s up to you, for we have done all we can do. Promptness, accommodation, courtesy, safety, these count when selecting a place to do your banking. We invite you to investigate. THE BANK OF GOLDSTON HUGH WOMBLE, Pres. T. W. GOLDSTON, Cashier GOLDSTON, N. C. A BANK’S FIRST CARE The first interest of any bank is the care of the funds of its depositors. That is our prime responsibility, and if you will refer to our statement published two weeks ago, you will see how well this responsibility is observed by the Bank of Pittsboro. You do not see a dollar of accounts payaole therein. No call can be made for a large sum borrowed to loan which would sweep all the cash out of our safe. We play safe for our depositors and for the bank. If that is the kind of bank you wish to deposit in we shall be glad to serve you. BANK OF PITTSBORO PITTSBORO, N. C.
