PAGE 8 The Lool By JOHN A. I tmtnmmmtmtmtmmtmtmtttttit Raleigh took a heavy blow on the chin without flinching. The failure of the Commercial National Bank, with four millions in deposits, was the heaviest blow dealt the Capital City in a generation. It had stood through the panic of 1893, had weathered the slump of 1907 and successfully battled with the delation 1920. It was looked upon as the one solid local financial institution that could stand all storms. Yet it went tottering down because of the tremendous drop in commodity prices, which made it impossible for those owing it money to meet their obligations. Eight thousand depositors, enough to constitute a small sized city, were caught. You can't hit that many people without maxing quite a cummotion, no matter what the cause or the result. It is bound to have far spread consequences. But Raleigh never batted an eye. It tock the blow standing up. It started immediately to rebuild its fortunes upon a more substantial basis. It was the finest example of the heroic and indomitable spirit that is North Carolina of which anybody whose memory does not go back to the War-Between-The States and the trying days of Reconstruction can recall. "Tomorrow in another day", said Suzanne. Such is the spirit that is Raleigh and that is North Carolina. Lots of optimistic statements will be turned loose around the New Year. The sad facts are that not much improvement can be expected in the immediate future. The reason is that the commodity prices have been cut half in two within the last two years. That means half the money in circulation that there was two years ago. It means reduced buying power. It wouldn't make so much difference, if debts had not been coni.?_ j *??? 4.v,rt r ? __ _ bl tlUlCU upuxi UiC uaou Vl [/"WW Vtwo years ago. Interest remains the same. Taxes have been reduced, but not fifty per cent. For that reason most people are placed at a great disadvantage. It has caused bank failures and this has reduced the capital of many others who had not contracted debts. They are in the same pridicament as if they had gone out and made debts so far as having capital is concerned. They are busted through no fault of their own. In cne respect the optimistic statements will be justified. We have become accustomed to hard times. We have learned to take our medicine without frowning. The outstanding difference between a human being and an animal is that a man can adapt himself to any circumstances or conditions, He can live at the North Pole or jat the Equator. Give him a little time and he will make himself at home in either place. So it is in these hard times. We have had them for two years and we have on our fighting clothes now. There is in fact a more hopeful spirit than there was six months ago although times have not improved. This is due to the fact that we have out on out fighting clothes We have not given up. Each time *"* - . - tnat we nave oeen Knocxea down, we have gotten up again. The chief difference between a successful man and the defeated man is that the former never knows when he is licked. Knock him down a thousand time and he will get up each time. His face is to the front, he never knows when he's licked and if he is licked he will not stay licked. The one , golden rule for success in this world is to keep on. North Carolina is keeping on keeping on. So far as anybody could observe Christmas was observed in these diggings with the same spirit of good will and joyfulness that it always is. If there wasn't as much money spent as usual, it was made to do more work. If presents were less expensive from a monetary standpoint, they carried as much love as if they were expensive. In fact, it seemed that there was more of the Christmas spirit than usual. Adversity makes us feel a closer relationship to our fellow man. We must now face the future with the stem realization that it is going to be a long and hard pull to get back on our feet again. But we win ao ic. worm uaronna nas not surrendered. It has kept its face to the front despite the pessimists who for a brief while during the past year held reign over the State. They have been put out of the way. It is naturally an unencouraging outlook when thousands of people are without the means to mafcs a living. Perhaps the hardest hit of all are the tenant farmers, thousands of whom are without the means to make a living. Landowners are unable to borrow money, they have no money and consequently they cannot carry the tenant farmer as they have been do Warrenton, N. C. dng Glass LIVINGSTONE i | ing. The tenant farmers cannot move to the cities where other f thousands are out oi work. What they will do, the Lord only knows, but we shall solve even that probItm. Half of the solution of any prob.J lem consists in realizing that there is a problem to be solved. The very face that we are face to face with this serious problem, which has got to be solved, makes It certain that it will be solved. It is a problem lor statesmen. In every crisis m American history there have* been leaders to meet the problems that had to be solved. It will be the same with this unemployment problem, which is the most serious one that faces America today. As Grover Cleveland once said, it is a condition and not a theory that confronts us. It is a situation that has got to be met. It will be met in the same courageous spirit lliat North Carolina has always met her problems. While it is true that unemployment exists on a large scale, making it necessary for the more fortunate to contribute freely of their means, it is also true that there are 'many pan handlers abroad in the (land today. It is hard to separate the sheep from the goats. Many men ana women are making no honest effort to get on their feet. This ! makes it more difficult to deal with the i..r"> jem of want. But that, too, will be met. The f.isi and important thing that a man knocked down has to do is ic lesolve *o get on his feet. As the Salvation Army puts it, a man may be down but he is never out. Not as long as he is resolved to get on his feet. If he gives up, then he is done for The pan handlers, however, are in the minority. They constitute only a small part of the population. Out of the wreck and debris that has characterized the past j ear in North Carolina has come the spirit of never giving up. North Carolina faces the New Year with scienity, not because times have improved but because it has refused to be defeated. This is the greatest lesson that we have learned. Adveisity has its rewards, the greatest of which is the firm determination that we may be down, but we shall never be defeated. Mrs. D. I. Massey of Wendell, route 1, reports selling $98.15 worth of poultry and eggs from a flock of 20 hens this year. Mr. Massey sold $138 worth of milk from four cows since May 15.

If you aid the land owner to discharge his indebtedness by carrying him over this depression there would be no danger of the bond holder c-r the Bank ever owning the land. This is the purpose of Congressman Kerr's Bill?to keep the banks from having to foreclose and own the property. The man, the bank or the business that can pay its obligations when due always has a high credit and its bends (es peciai wnen tax iree) will always, sell in our market. But they say "Federal Land Bank Bonds are only selling at 75 cents on the dollar." This may be true, but it has been caused by a lack of Statesmenship by those in power, who have refused to come to the help of the distressed land owner.

Of course if this idea prevails there will be many multimillionaires who will buy up these bonds at seventy-five dollars on the hundred, pay no taxes on them and draw approximately five and a half per cent net and hold mortgages on our homes at half the value. Congressman Kerr's plan to stabilize the bonds, is to enable the land owner with this same millions to pay his indebtedness, redeem his home and the bonds will go to par or above, and may) return to treasury. Congressman Kerr's Bill is in the interest of the farm owner, and incidently taking care of bond owners and assuring the return to the Treasury cf the millions borrowed.

By HOWARD JONES JR. | i>WH???????n?????B888mm News seems to have been crippled by the depression this week. From practically every source to which the query has been shot, "What do you know," has come the reply, "Nothing in the way of news, every thing is quiet." Seems strange for things to be so quiet just a few days before Christmas, but I venture to say that things will be haprvniner during the* latter cart of this week. Louis Graves, editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, has a fancy for words and frequently comments in his newspaper on expressions which he likes and does not like. I wonder if he ha,s heard the expression "squirreling." I was told iiiat the word originated down in the Inez section and so far as I have been able to learn, it is apropos of almost any situation, most commonly used in connection with beating or outdoing some one. Ed Jenkins, employee of the Carolina Power & Light Co., and boarder at the home of Col. and Mrs. W. R. Baskervill where we also stay while the folks are in Washington, has the best plan that I have heard for solving the problems which are today worrying America's leading thinkers. He wants to give the country back to the Indians, or at least he says so most every morning when he is aroused from his slumber to go to work. "Make some other heart happy with joy.' "Happiness is the reward of the kind." "Have you the Christmas spirit? Get it."

A simple structure with a two by eight nailed around the inside about twelve inches from the ground will prevent the sow laying on the pigs and mashing them. This house should be away from the herd so as the other hogs will not have access to it. This is important for two reasons. Prevention of disease and the mashing of small pigs. Sufficient scrap lumber may be had on the average farm for the building of hog houses. In most cases this lumber is merely rotting and the hogs freezing.
