(his is just the point: the et l is for a different type of leadership. # p ; s not about the legisla ture or politics that we are talking now. but about the !?bo>- ‘ troubles that distress Vorth Carolina. No fair mind [H\ person places all the blame for the present condition upon either side. There are union men who cannot see any virtue at a ii among the mill owners 4nd operators, and who preach he gospel of retaliation and destruction of property. They a re hopelessly in the minority an d their influence is always limited and of shorty duration. The vast majority of laborers, in the unions and out, are fair minded and want invested capital to earn a fair return. Likewise there are mill owners who still cling to the old idea that labor is ignorant and help ]e« and a proper object of ex ploitation. They, too, are a very small minority among the men and women who own cot ton mills or other industrial plants. Most of the mill own ers want their employes to earn a living wage, to have the average comforts of modern civilization and to enjoy a fair share of the luxuries of life. The vast majority of opera tors and operatives are fair minded and reasonable, sin cerely and earnestly seeking some solution of the complex problems facing them. The old order changes, yielding place to new. Mill owners and mill workers alike sense the change but cannot grasp its full mean ing. The sore need of the day is for an interpreter, some man or woman who can bring to crystalization the unformed thoughts and desires of the thousands on both sides of the present conflict.

Originally designed and first used largely for children’s colds, this better external method gradually ; spread as one enthusiastic mother told another. Years of actual use [ also proved it equally effective for • the colds of grown-ups. Today the f whole trend of medical practice is I away from needless “dosing” and j Vicks—a household word in Amer- j ica—is used in more than 60 coun- j tries abroad. The ev er-growing demand for . 'icks is .shown in its familiar slo- j; gan expressing the number of jars i used yearly.

This is not a local situation; the outbreak at Gastonia and Marion is but sympomatic. It is like a boil heading up on the arm or the neck, but indicating impure blood and the treatment must be purification of the whole system. The enlightened nations of the earth have achieved civic and religious democracy. The absolute monarchy in govern ment and the absolute episco pacy in church are things of the past, These present indus trial troubles are the travail of industry as it works out its own democracy. The church had its Luther and its Knox and its Wesleys. Civic democracy had its Cromwell and its Washing ton and its Wilson. The time is ripe for some great soul to arise and lead industry into its new day. Just as the other momentous changes were not completed without agony, so the democratization of indus try is being achieved through agony and bloodshed. Some of it is tragically useless; all of it is distressing. But there is an abiding hope in the ultimate triumph of justice and right. Meantime the world awaits its new leader and when he proves himself he will be uni versally acclaimed. Three or four years ago Ir vin Cobb came down into North Carolina and was amaz ed at the progress made along many lines. He declared the chief need of North Carolina was a press agent. Immediate ly there sprang up a myriad of them; of the press agenting did the state irrepar able harm. But the old com monwealth a press agent, of the right sort now worse than ever fn its history. Pub licity is WOt lacking, for every paper iw the world almost has had ss>me reference to the labor troubles during the past few weeks, and most of these references have not been favor able, The state needs a truth ful press agent. Exaggeration in either direction will dis credit the state more than the ; literal truth, unsavory as that ! may be. $ *************** u < * j * Gulf News • * * * ************ ** i Mrs. Maggie Bridges of Sanford i spent the week-end with her 'sister, Mrs. J.

Fletcher'S on this wrapper* THE 'CHATHAM RECORD, PITTSBORO, N. C. Now the Curculio (From the Charlotte Observer) Florida has had its fly and Geor gia seems to have its plum curculio, as peach packers are learning to their sorrow. The federal government has seized “more than 15,000 of No. 2 cans, with libel order issuance for immediate seizure of 33,340 No. 2 . cans, and 24,430 No. 2Vi cans of unpeeled pie peaches canned from infected fruit.” The comfort is ad vanced in the fact that as Georgia produced 5,943,000 bushels of peaches in 1927, “the quantity of goods seized represents only a very small percentage of the 1929 crop.” The insect responsible for this con demnation of the Georgia peaches, says the department of agriculture, was unusually abundant and destruc tive last summer in all the Southern states east of the Mississippi, and in Arkansas and Texas. In explanation of the Georgia situation several re sponsible factors are advanced. A large crop of peaches the preceding year permitted development of in sects in unusual numbers, the winter was favorable to insects in hiberna tion, an early spring permitted de velopment of a second generation of grubs. Control measures probably were not carried out so effectively as in former years, a plague of insects over the region and a supply of low grade, wormy fruit resulting. The growers transported the poor-quality fruit to the canners who could af ford to pay but a low price for it be cause of the extra work in separat ing the good from the bad and be cause of the loss in culls. A few canners became careless and used fruit which is illegal under the Food and Drugs Act, and the government stepped in to protect the public. Thus is another worry developed for the sandhills peach growers, and the department is advising them what to do. For control of the pest it recommends an early spray or dust of lead arsenate, with an addi tion of hydrated lime. The adult curculio feeds on the calyces and first tender shoots of the trees. The first spray should be put on just after the blossoms have fallen and again two weeks later. If such spray ap plications were made, says Dr. Quait nance, there would seldom be any great damage from the curculio in peaches, and also there would seldom be any necessity for the fruit grow ers and canners to take a loss through government seizure and de struction of unfit canned fruit. The sandhills growers the past season suffered from unfavorable weather, the botheration being too much rain, but so far, no report has been made of appearance of this new pest. It is a menace, however, and preparations to meet it must be made, if the packers of our state are to escape the experience of the Georgia packers,, The incident, also, might be taken as warning ag&inst putting up infected fruit of any kind, for the government keeps fe, sharp eye in protection of the public and seiaures are inevitable. Perhaps farmers and orchardists may be wondering when the day will arrive they will he freed fretfi the destruc tive annoyance of the many pests that have developed —at least they have cause for wonder. They are called Upon to make poison warfare against the boll Weevil and now they must institute poison campaign against the curculio in the orchards, and they as well accept the edict that ofa eternal vigilance de pends their deliverance, for, neglect of the pest one season means aj harder fight the next year. ® CENSUS EXAMINATIONS FOR TEMPORARY WORK Washington, D. C., Oct. 9.—The United States Civil Service Commis sion has announced that it will re ceive applications until November 2, T 929, for certain temporary posi tions in the Bureau of the Census in Washington, D.

Y. newspapers have been running a serious of ar- i tides lately on marriage and whether j its a success or vice versa and every j day they been printing letters that , was sent in to them by husbands and wifes stateing their views on the case and the editors seems to think they should be the people that should ought to know, but as far as I been able to make out from their letters the game will go into extra innings and they will finely half to call it off on aect. of darkness. It looks like what the papers calls a hung jury and it should be. The trouble with the discussion and why it ain’t libel to get us nowheres is on acct. of the big majority of the letters comeing from people that has only been married one time. I got a friend of mine that is now running his sth relay and ought to know what he is talking about so the other night I asked him to give his frank opinion on the subject, thinking my host of readers would be interested and here is what he had to say in part. “Four marriages out of five or in other words 80 per cent is a howling success. The other 20 per cent is a fiasco of the Ist water. I am at pres ent in the midst of the last named, but as the successes is more pleas anter to talk about than the busts, I will start in on the former. “The Ist gal I married was the. daughter of a wealthy real estate | man named Ella. The old man gave her a check for SIO,OOO for a wedding present and as we was waiting for the train to take us to the Falls, I got her to endorse the check on the grounds that maybe we would run short on the trip and half to get some of the porters to cash the check. Well, we got to the Falls and set there look ing at them for about V 2 hr., and finely I asked her how she liked it and she said her ft. hurt her in her going away shoes and besides if they' was pleasure to be got of stare-J ing all day at a bunch of funning! water why not do it in comfort by ■ going back to the hotel and go in the bathroom and turn on nil the faucets. I She said that as far as she was con-| serned Niagara was a cheese. So I. told her that of course they wasn’t j no sport in just setting there amlj gupeing at it, but the real fun was to rent a empty hbl. somewheres and get inside it and leave the stopper out So os some air could get iti mid shooj the Falls. So she liked th£ ldear afid; we engaged a hbl. by she hr, and come to find out they wasn’t rQoro • enough in it for the 2 of us t<j ride at once, so I said we would flip a coin and if it come heads sh£ was 'it go Ist and I flipped a coin, and enough it come heads. “The next gal I was ‘name Claire and she didn’t nave fee dowry but she carried, $5,Q00 accident insur ance as she use to travel vm the road for *1 vacuum cleaner. It wasn’t only about a Wk. after tfce honeymoon | that she catched a cold, and it set tled in ti hollow toot*! ; ttud for a cou j pie nights she laye4 find moaned and j finely she said she couldn’t stand it { no more so l lit Up the lights and : began showing her some of my curios to take her mind off Ihe tooth and • one of tliem was n double hbl. shot gun and before 1 could say Jack ‘ Robertson both bbls. went off right in her eye. Tifre coroner said it was a accident. “No. 3. was name Eloise and l‘hadn’t never heard the name before and kept | forgetting it and calling her Ella and Claire bx*th of which had left me a widower, and she knew it and didn’t , like it wry well hut I couldn’t seem , to get out of the habit and every time I «Bone it she would start a quarrel and it finely got to be a | regular mania with her and she says the next time I called her out of her name she would croak herself. So I says don’t do that Claire and next thing I -knew she had drank a pt. of wood alcohol thinking it was carbolic j acid and when I tried to get our Dr. I the line was busy. Eloise left me a chest -of silver that her uncle had give her who was in the jewellry bus iness and I sold it for $1,500. “I was married to the 4th. one name Kate in August and her father give us a house and lot. She had hay fever and a red nose but I loved her and they wasn’t a day past when I didn’t bring her a bouquet of some kind •of flowers. One day the .florist didn’t have nothing In stock and I was kind of scared to go home with out no bouquet so I stopped by the side -of the road and picked a nose gay of golden rods and and tossed it in her lap and the 3d explosion blowed her up. "The lease said about the present incumlarants why so much the better. I’ve done everything I could for her hut they don’t nothing satisfy her. To make a successful marriage they’s got to he a sense of humor on both sides and in our case its all 1 sided. So all in all I claim they’s 4 successes to every 1 fliv and as soon as I can get rid of this one I’ll marry 4 more and stop on No. 9.” That is what a bird told me that has had some experience and his word should ought to carry weight. Personally I am not in a position to speak as my first wife is still stick ing it out on acct of the kiddies but I suppose if you was to ask the both of us if marriage wag a success or failure, the answer would be a tie.
