Under normal contions the
. load which farmers carry is bur
densome enough, but nnder re
actionary conditions, such as ex
ist now, the harden becomes so
excessive as to be unbearable
without financial disaster. And
when bankruptcy comes to the
business of farming the business
interests of all small towns suf
fer in like proportion. We are
all in the same boat.
I;-":' Governor Morriaon announced
the appointment Saturday of
Col, A. D. Watts, of Statesville,
as commissioner of revenue un
der the act creating this office.
The office carries a salary of
$5.BOO a year. Col. Watts was
formerly internal revenue col
lector at Statesville and has
been a prominent figure in Dem
ocratic party activities in North
Carolina for many years. The
appointment of Watts to this po
sition is a political one, made for
r political reasons, and while it
may square the Governor's debt
to Watts, it places both of them
heavily in arrears to the people
of North Carolina. The new
revenue commissioner is a reac
tionary and machine politician
of the worst type. How can the
Governor justify his appoint
mentr
When President Wilson went
into office in 1912 only fourth
class post-offices were under
Civil Service. Eventually be
broadened this by executive order
to include second, third and even
first-class offices. There has al
ways been friction over distri
buting such choice plums over a
pie counter table. The former
President’s order may be rescird
ed at any time by Mr. Harding.
It is said the practical politicians
of the Republican party have
been urging him to take such
action. They proceed on the
ground that "to the victor be
long the sports,” and they see
no reason why Democratic post
masters should remain under
this administration. There will
be various ways to get rid of
Democratic postmasters.
If farm lands should be valued
for taxation according to the in-,
oome—the wet • vane ' of crops
. produced—should not the same
method be applied to manufact
uring plants and industries of
that character and to buildings
for rent? We all know that there
are periods of depression in
which manufacturing industries
are shut down for lack of 'busi
ness, or are run at a loss or sim
ply break even. The writer has
in mind a manufacturing indus
try in Lee county with a capitol
stock of $40,000 that paid no
dividend to the stockholders in
1919 and i92Q, and no dividend is
expected this year. Some of
the farmers of Lee county are
. financially interested in this bus
iness. There are times when
dwellings and other buildings]
for rent have no tenants and
. there is no Income. Farm land
is Hot worth what it was a year
ago, neither is city real estate.
Senator Tom Watson is au
" thority tor the statement that
“eighteen hundred palatial, lox
- rides private cars are on the
Sidetrack at Palm Beach and
the superb yachts of the mil
lionaires pass up and down the
coast, or rest at ease in the har
bors j the latest thing in limou
sines is parked by the thousands,
from Tampa to Miami, and such
a golden stream of money never
-before deluged the pleasure
houses and grounds of Florida.”
Yet only a few weeks ago the
Senate of the United States
heard a-Southern member com
’ plain on the floor of that august
assembly; that the natives of
Florida were tbreantened with
ruin because of what he called
the railroad problem. And what
is the railroad problem? Wat
son says “it is the same as the
lumber problem, the housing
problem, the wheat problem, the
cotton problem, the wage prob
lem and every other industrial
problem. Those who control the
' actual oash rule the government;
dictate legislation, derange our
prices, desolate markets, disband
the wage earners, bankrupt rail:
road#, demoralise industry and
drive the oountry toward the fa
talities which, have always re*
suited from the concentration of
./wealth,", '

' Thrift Commandments i
, The ten thrift commandment!
are constantly being printed foi
the benefit of the unthrifty, and
they apply to all alike—
“Work and earn.
Make a budget.
Record expenditures.
Hare a bank account.
Carry Ufa Insurance.
Own your own home.
Make a will.
Invest In reliable securities. ■
1'ay your bills promptly.
Share with others "
That’s the thrift- gospel, and,
once pot in practice, it becomes
an easy, as it is a profitable, one
to follow.
Recently London Opinion, In a
thrift article, named “The Suc
cess Family,” as follows:
The father of success Is work.
The mother of success Is ambition.
The oldest eon Is common sense.
Some of the other boys are persever
ance. enthusiasm, co-operation.
The oldest daughter Is character.
Some of the sisters are cheerfulness,
loyalty, courtesy, care, economy, sin.
cerlty, harmony.
The baby Is opportunity.
Get acquainted with the 'old men
and you will be able to get along pretty
well with the rest of the family.”
If that la considered “preach
ing,” it’s preaching with point
and pnrpoae. It is straight talk,
and it strikes home.
If the work plans and thrift
plans made for this year, here
at home, as elsewhere, are faith
folly adhered to, there will be a
greater ail-aronnd prosperity in
the summing up time.
Work and thrift are for every
day and everybody. There is
no shifting of a personal re
sponsibility. Get the Thrift
commandments by heart, and
put them to work.
Daniels Made a Record.
Longer by four days than the
term of any other American who
has held the office of Secretary
of the United States Navy was
the tenure of office of Josephus
Daniels, according to a recent
issue of the Army and Navy
Register. Gideon Welles, who
held the naval portfolio in the
Lincoln and Johnson cabinets
lacked four days of completing
the full eight years, while Mr.
Daniels completed eight years
almost to the hour. ,
The following paragraphs are
irom the Register:
“When Secretary Daniels :
iurned his office over to his sue
lessor last Saturday afternoon
he completed two full terms as
M.rvnl. rja^ vha Havp. Bat once
before in American history has
a Secretary of the Navy served
a similar period, this being Gid
eon Welles, Lincoln’s war Secre
tary. who served from 1861 to
1869. However, Mr, Daniels has
the distinction of, exceeding by
a few days that of bis illustrious
predecessor, for Mr. Welles’
actual period of office was 7
years, 11 months and 26 days,
while Mr. Daniels has served
his foil eight years.
"Another interesting bet in
this connection is the number of
times similar posts among the
allied powers have changed
hands. 8ince 1913. when Mr.
Daniels came to the Navy De
partment, Great Britain baa had
six first lords of the admiralty.
France has bad eleven ministers
of marine, Italy has had seven
ministers of the navy and Japan
has had three min sters of the
Discuss Plans to Open Mattering (or Col
ton interests.
Formulation of a program de
signed to aid the cotton interests
in reviving export trade was be
gun at a conference in Washing
ton Monday between representa
tive bankers from twelve South
ern States and Secretaries Hoov
er and Mellon, as well as Gov
ernor Harding, of the Federal
Reserve Board, and directors of
the War Finance Corporation,
Although no formal action was
taken, propositions for govern
ment aid in financing cotton ex
ports Were suggested and tenta
tively indorsed. The program
initiated at this time, specifically
for giving relief to the cotton
growers, ft is expected, will ex
entually be broadened to apply
to the other farm products.
A committee was named by
the conference to pursue further
studies of plans to create local
or sectional banking syndicates,
which would serve as agencies
to combine the financial strength
of interests in the cotton crop.
Around these, it was proposed,
would be erected machinery for
the extension of credit to strick
en European states, where long
term credit la necessary and
where there is no market unless

BIRTHRATE UPSETS THEORY
With Pore-Bred Americans of North Can
lint Leading With the Kgheat Biit
Rate Known in Thia Country, There i
Proof That the Anglo-Saxon Stock Wi
Not “Breed Out” for the Lack of Net
Blood and Prohficness.
Greensboro News,
Tbe highest birth rate in thi
Union and one of the lows*
death rates, combine to explaii
North Carolina's rapid increase
in population, for we have hat
little immigration, according tt
the February bulletin of thi
State Board of Health. The birtl
rate in North Carolina for 1921
was 82 8 per thousand—no'
merely the highest in the Union
but the highest ever recorded ic
this country. Three years age
Utah’s birth rate went as higb
as 81.9; but North Carolina’s fig'
are for 1920 has never beer
touched. At the same time, the
death rate was 12.9 per thousand.
This is an excess of approxi
mately 20 per thousand, or an
increase in population of two per
cent a year. The precise figures
are, births, 83.966; deaths, 33,228
making the natural increase oi
the population of the State for
.the year a trifle over 50,000.
These figures upset some the
ories that had gained pretty
general credence. For instance,
we have been assured that the
only really prolific element in
American life Is the immigrant
element. We have been assured
that the old American stock con
stantly tends to diminish, and is
gradually being replaced by tbe
newer importations, because the
primitive vigor of the original
British and Teutonic strains has
weakened as economic conditions
improved. We have been as
sured that America is doomed,
within a few generations, to be
come predominantly South
European in its physical char
acteristics on account of this
supposed sterility of the human
breeds loosely termed Anglo
Saxon.
But it so happens that Nortl
Carolina is by much the moe
American State in the Union
We have no foreign element a
all, comparatively speaking—
about one-half of one per cent
North Carolina has as little o:
the supposed lively element at
Volstead beer, which everybody
t dm its is not much. Further
more, our Anglo Saxon strain ie
die oldest on tbe North Ameri
an continent. Before James
own, long before the Pilgram
fathers sailed, there were En
glishmen in North Carolina, and
lertain of their descendants art
Horth Carolinians to this day.
Jut discarding the obscure earl
er settlements, about .whicl
here is dispute. lhe written his
ory of the State goes back 26
fears, ranking it among the old
est civUisavioDaoB tbecontinem
immigration of importance int
North Carolina since about 185C
That is why our people are 99.
per cent American-born chile
ren of American-born parents.
Certainly, if the stock thi
Originally settled this country
tends to “breed out,’’ North
Carolina furnishes the ideal con
ditions to demonstrate that
tendency. But as if to furnish
the most emphatic possible dis
proof of that theory, North
Carolina shows up with the
highest birth rate ever known
in this country. Not even tbe
swarming millions of New York's
Italian and Slavic population
multiply as fast as the pure-bred
Americans of the Old North
State.
It is true, we had in 1910 000,
000 negroes, whose birth rate
perhaps is higher than that of
the whites but so is their death
rate. It is seriously to be doubted
that tbe figures for the census
of 1920 will show proportionately
anything like as great an in
crease in the negro as in the
white population.
U ndou btedly, though, the thing
on which the State has most
reason to pride itself "is the
showing made in the matter ol
the death rate. That is now
down to 12 9 per thousand, well
below the average for tbe United
States- But it ought to be lower
Far enough north to escape the
fevers of the sub-tropical re
gions, far enough south to ee
cape the rigors of northen
winters, if we do hot reduce oui
death rate below that of leal
favored sections, the fact u
prima facie evidence of some
thing wrong with us- With tb{
climate she has, North Oarqjini
ought to be ss free from tuber
culoais and malaria as she b
from beri-beri; and every civilize c
community has it within iu
power to make typhoid as rare
as typhus. Still, a death rati
of 12.9 u evidence that we an
not neglecting the first principlei
of public health, and the State
Board of Health has reason ti
congratulate itself on the show'
log. ----

, of farmers’ organizations Have got to get out of
' their heads is that the farmer wants an arti

to market. I know my opinion is sound, be
cause I got it from
