PAGE FOUR CHATHAM RECORD O. J. PETERSON Editor and Publisher SUBSCRIPTION PRICE: One Year $1.50 Sax Months , *7^ THURSDAY, -JUMf 17, 1930 THE ROAD TO BANK RUPTCY If there' is any economic principle throughly establish ed it is that wages must be proportionate to the income from which they are paid. No business could live in which the employes, get larger in ..comes than tne capitalist workers. Suppose a man awns a $20,000 business and pays his hands more each than he ’is able to make from his capi tal and labor together. Or suppose twenty men ow;i the 'business and all work as hard as any employe and yet fail to make as much as the hands who own no part in the busi ness. Could such a business live long? Would there be any equity in such‘an arrange ment? Yet the state of North Carolina is running its busi ness on such an idotic basis. It is a well known fact that the citizenry as a whole have not made ends meet for two or three years. The capital of the tax-payers has been used up in meeting current obligations, and tens of thousands are stinting them selves to survive at all. Yet salaries of employes are main tained on the luxury basis. :Living expenses now, barring rents, are as low as anybody should desire, and if a man getting two thousand dollars up does not live well and save money, it is because he does not know how to live as the ordinary citizen is bound to know. Also if a girl teacher with a salary of S6OO to SI2OO for eight months of work does not find her job profitable, she should take lessons from families who live well upon similar incomes. The writer knows what he is talking about. He has paid $2,000 in debts within the past three years from an in come of scarcely $2;000 a year, and has lived well com pared with the average citi zen of Chatham county. Os course his rent is lower than that of the city man living in the same style, but otherwise, except that he has not splurg ed with automobiles, the ex pense of living in Pittsboro is not less than that of living in Raleigh. If such is the case with one of the tax-pay ers, and the writer does pay something like $75 a year in taxes, mostly corporation, it is clear that he and tens of thousands of others in his plight, or in worse, do not appreciate helping to pay salaries of $5,000 to SIO,OOO to men who are no more qualified than tens of thou sands of others who are bare ly, if at all, saving their capi tal these times, and living hard to do that. Doughton, Burke, Bailey (I. M.),. and professors in the schools are / getting much more than their employers can afford to pay, and. that is not in accord with sound principles. * It makes no dif ference that prosperous busi ness concerns and prosperous states are paying more. There is no. cotton mill in North Carolina with management so ' senseless as to pay Ford rates for laborers. Their incomes do not justify it, and bankruptcy would assuredly follow such a procedure. Similarly, North Carolina is on the way to bankruptcy of its citizens when it pays to swarms of officials, teachers, stenogra phers, etc., a w T age that is not justified by the economic condition of the mass of citi zens. The writer cap name men of ability to compare with almost any state official from governor down within two hundred yards of this office, who are living on half the net incomes of their equals in state and county employ, and are helping to pay the latter to boot. Common sense and equity demand that the wages or salaries of the state’s em ployes be proportionate to that of the men and women who, through taxes, pay their salaries, due consideration being given to the item of rent and to the degree of dignity that certain represent atives of the state should maintain. In conforming the incomes of employes to that of the representative citizen is the place where economy should begin. Paying inequit able salaries to an increasing hords of officials and em ployes is paving the way to bankruptcy of the . people. ® The receivers of the tobacco cooperative association state that they would be' able to close up. the business if the matter of the charges of $25,- 000 each on the part of three attorneys who were, instru mental in throwing the. associa tion on into the hands of the receivers, was determined. Jud g e v Meekins refused to order the payment, of any such outrageous charges, the pay me n t of which should arouse the indignation of every fair-minded man in the state.. $25,000 net is more than any nine* out-- of *ten families of North Carolina can make, in thirty years above a mere meat-and-bread liv ing. Those attorneys have had each $5,000, a sum that com mon sense and equity cannot justify, and they should not have another cent. Similarly, when it comes to paying the receivers themselves, we hope that Judge Meekins will main tain his sense of . proportion. It may be noted that the receivers have hardly been hindered in the prosecution of their own affairs. Moreover, they have had no capital at stake. Any of 100,000 men in the state could have perform ed their duties. Shall they be paid the life time income of many a man their equal in ability? We shall see. Whether Rev. B. L. Gupton is an eleoquent preacher or not, we do not know, never having heard him. But when we hear Mr. J. T. Carroll, father of Roy Carroll who met so sudden and tragic end last week, say that the boy’s life was transformed by liv ing with Mr. Gupton several months during the spring, we .want no further evidence of the genuineness of Mr. Gup ton’s religion. Not only did example and precept prevail, but Mr. Gupton took the pains to teach Roy the normal course in Sunday school ‘work and just recently secured his diploma for him f rom the Sunday school department of the Baptist State Convention. <3> PITTSBORO SOCIAL NOTES A delightful event of the rn id summer season was the bridge luncheon given by Mrs. W C. .John son honoring her sister, Mrs. Will iam Connell of Washington, D.

CounJ^Notes News of the Week on Chatham County Farms ; N. C. SHIVER, County Agent The dry hot weather is very hard on soy beans, especially if they were planted late. However, we saw a seven acre field last Tuesday that was a fine as we have seen., anywhere. ..:T.his field is on the farm of Mr. C. D. Wilkie near Monsure. Mr. Wilkie drilled in these" beans (Mannoth Yellow) at the rate of two bushels* per acre. After drilling, he dragged his- land with a fiat drag, thus smoothing It is ‘ land .and enabling?-ft to. hold moisture. He obtained an excellent stand, and he did not have to have seasonable showers to get it. .Those farmers who wish \q. ob serve and study the various variet ies of soy .be-ans and £heir adapta bility to this county should visit the -farm of Mr. A. G- Thomas of Moncure RFD no. 2. Mr. Thomas is conducting a soy bean variety test in cooperation with the County Agent in which eight varieties of soy beans are being studied. It is interesting to visit this field, which is on the highway, and ob serve the habits of growth of the different varieties. H* The Oldham Brothers in the upper edge of Chatham, near the Orange line, have had two register ed Jerseys to freshen to the service of their imported! bull. Judging by the looks of these calves, this hull is going to make an excellent one. Incidentally, one of these calves is a bull that they do not care to keep. This is a good opportunity for some farmer to get a high class calf to raise for breeding pur poses. * * * In early Juve, Mr. F. D. Rags land, prominent farmer in the Corinth section, found 100 mature boll weevils in the buds of young cotton on a five acre field on his place. Two applications of dust on this field have evidently destroyed the adult weevils, and has brought boll weevil infestion down to a low per cent. Actual infestation counts made on this field) by the County Agent last Tuesday showed an in festation of only six per cent. Mr. Ragsland states that “It pays to Poison.” Although most corn is showing bad effects from the dry, hot wea ther, Mr. J. I. Lindley of Siler City RFD has a five acre field in the corn contest that is still holding its color well, and shows very little effects from the dry weather. This field had a heavy crop of lespedeza turned under, and should make as much corn as any in this county. + * * Farmers often ask if it is possible to obtain a calf before it is weaned and raise it successfully. Mr. O. M. Buckner of Pittsboro RFD No. 2, is best qualified to answer this question. Last year, Mr. Buckner obtained a pure bred Jersey- bull from Mr. N. A. Kimrew in Ala mance county and proceeded to raise this calf with skim milk. Any one seeing this calf will agree that he has ben more than successful. Incidentally, this calf combines some excellent breeding of promi nent blood lines, being a grand son of Oakwood D’s Spot, -one of Mr. R. L. Shuforl’s famous cows, and a great grand' son of the famous bull, Oakwood D’s Fox. This calf is out of one of the best cows that Mr. Kimrey owns. With bulls like this in the county, it will not be very long before Chatham will have a quality of Jerseys second to none in the state. —e> — JUNIOR CLUB NEWS Activities of the 4-H Club Mem bers of Chatham. Leon Lindley, son of Mr. J. I. Lindley of Siler City RFD, has a heifer from Virginia that will freshen the first week in August. On a recent visit to the County, Mr. A. C. Kimrey, Dairy Specialist from State College, stated that this was one of the best heifers that he had? yet seen. * * It is possible that Chatham 4-H Club members will attend a week camp at White Lake this sum mer. ‘ A tentative * schedule for- the week of August 4 has been arrang ed, but* this is subject to change. Information about the camp will ibe- given out later. Issac Bland of Pittsboro RFD No. 1 is the proud owner of a fine bull calf. This scone of’ the largest and best grown calf we have seen, and Issac hopes to place his some where; in the county. .Some 4-H Club members are already at work fitting out their calves to show at the club show this fall. \ _<S> WHITE LAKE TRIP Messers Frederick Harmon, Joe, Bryce and Lawrence Moore, Ber nice Perry, David Griffin, James Johnson, and Master Everett Perry spent last week at White Lake. They went on their newly purchas ed “tin lizzie”, which ably served its call. Lawrence kept things going by dancing s’much. Joe and Fred erick .were so upset over the girls that they were ready to leave soon er than the others; they became disgusted and stayed in the cottage the most of the time and cooked. Bernice flirted with the flappers all the time, didn’e eat much. Bryce and David didn’t see any body else but themselves, so they weren’t disturbed, except when Everett got to crying to go home. James beat them all—caught him a girl from Dunn the first day, their cottages were near each other and .of all the courting it was done.—Contributed. lie***##**#*:!:**** ♦ * Bear Creek News * * ,* The descendants of the late Mr. and Mrs. " Ruffin Holt held heir annual reunion at the home of T.
