North Carolina, Tuesday, March 1,1921 TOO MUCH PROSPERITY IS NOT GOOD FOR US Hm ten bad for business. Strange as H may sound, this stament will appear very ptai'nand true upon.*, little con sideration. We we pleas about the business conditions which have' hit the country during the last two months, hut the real damage was ddn* when everybody said that every thing was lovely* and the goose hung high. ' 'f-; ? • - By the same token, this period of depression through which .we have been going has been good for busi ness. The beet thing that could have happejnod— it did not hap pea to soon. Buainanr It m a better basis today than It- was those months ago; It wl' bo on. a better basis mat month than It would have been had not a hal been called. These are •simple ideas, hut. they e worth turning over. . . , , You can see the good effects of poor, business by Just looking at the stores, the corner stores, and the big downtown concerns. It was not long ago that the ordinary frugal buyer was somewhat hi contempt. Clerks caught thw contagion of thp profite ers, and It wan "Buy it or leave it" almost wherever you went. The mor ale of snlespeople slumped at a ter rifflc rate, and that 1s a pretty aeri ous thing for business. Not so very long ago the coal mer chant satin his office with*the sir of a king dispensing favors. His attitude in many cases was, "I doat know whether I will sell ppu are not— ITI think it over." It was bad for him and his customera. When any busiaes* man in any Mta of business becomes independent of the public, or even thinks he is, it Is a calamity for his business. In some industries all that has re mained for salesmen and"Wnagirs to do dilring the last few years has been to take orders and deposit*, and a dopt that air of, "We may let you have Jit In about months—lf you deponit enough now." Orders came without effort. Customers Were doing nil t'.e clamoring ami Worrying. Whereas once It wss the customei who favored }he merchant by dealing him, conditions have changed Un til it wan the merchant who favored thtf .quMumei by selling to him. Now alt that is for business Monoply is bat) for business. Profi teering is bad for business. The laeV of necessity to hustle is had for bust ness. Business is never so goohan- sound and healthy as Irhen, like * chicken, it must do a certain amount of scratching for what It gets. This are coming easily. There Ta let dftwh ef the principle that honfst relation ought to obtain values and prices. The public no longer had to be '♦catered to." There was even a "public be damned'' attitude In many places ' *r?r.* Ait . It wait Intensely bad for bnalnegx. all that kind of prosperity. But there has some a change. Th«t era of rampant prosperity so-callel died down. The reckening-up tim« came. Customers no longer besolgnl the doors. Indeed, customers have a memory and they remembered that in the rayday of trade they were treated rather cavalierly. Many mer chants are discovering today thst he was a wise man who was Just an anxioiM) to fervf and please his cus tomers when trade was brisk, as he. Is now when trade is a little slow er. The best point of all 1 athat thfr period of slackness Is showing up the sr.tage which false .prosperity did to business ethics and efficiency. A good business Is one that can saP along comfortably in the face of ad verse gales. Since IH4 almost am fool could do business. There war more business to be" done than their were business devices with which lr do it.—Dearborn Independent. Mortgagee's Sal* of Land Nor& Carolina, Martin county.

I P" further business the to meet again, >-r v,.. JK r v , v- ■ i This Year to be "Quality Year" (By Julian Pnl) One of the brigfctoat hope* for a re turn of prosperity to the people of Marti* county is the new attitude to wards farming taken by the planters. Heretofore, we have been careless in oar production, with a mad scram ble for quaatity, regardless of cost. Tobacco has been overproced in quan tity and under produced in quality, the same la true of peanuts and cotton Such large crops have been .raised that the harvesting has been decidedly mismanaged. Peanuts have been al lowed to decay after being dug; cot ton has been exposed to the weather and deteriorated considerably after be lag ginned; tobacco was left untopped and allowed to grow rampant, with out regard to body thickness or purity. But all this will soon be a dull mem ory, for every fanner whom I have talked with says they are going to plant jess money crop this year and devote more time to better crops; and also raise plenty of hog ami horn iny. With this resolution carried out, there is no reason why the Martin County farmer should not be the most prosperous cultivator there Is, Na ture saa provided us with much mo it aids to living than in most parts ti the United States, and good fain land today in Martin county at $2X per acre is a great deal cheaper thar in the entire Western states com par lag same by production value. All aboard for a quality year, and then next Fall we can put aside some money for a savings account. Poor fertilisers are not worth hauling out of town; poor crop seed the same; s how can the farmer expect poor grades of peanuts or tobacco or cottor to be worth anything. Don't plant so much you cant properly harvest it and dont plant so much you can't properly cultivate It. There is one section of Martin county where per sonal attention to farming has been their motto, and today this section of the County Is supporting financially then entire other part. A little mow book fanning would not hurt the er. Figure up the interest on yon land, the eost of fertiliser, the cos 1 of labor, the cost of harvesting, an try to stay within your cost estimate and if you find you cannot raise your cotton to sell at a profit for thnt' or fourteen cents a pound. Tour to buc.o for a profit at un average of twenty Ave cents a pound, and pea nuts at an average of 5 cents a pound than you hud better do some jnstGL figuring, or esle put your quality ef forts away up high, and turn bail your lower grades onto your farm f> fertilizer. A BRUTAL MURDER Saturday morning about eight o'- clack, Mr. EL G. Worthington, a mer chant of Washington was found witl his skull crushed and badly beaten anc bruised otherwise, from which he died in the late afternoon of the same day Mr. Worthington had not long been in business in Washington, havin> gone there from Greenville, where hit family) still lives. He slept in hi store, had built a fire, placed thin' in order for the mornings' trade, had several cusomers and soon after oif»> o'clock a email boy who was taking his break him found the front door barred and had to go to the hue' door to enter. He found Mr. Wot ington behind the counter in a pool and It was fouad that money draws i ' were broken open ami things all about th«J store ransacked. It fa thought that he had about $60(1.00 in rush in the store and there is no doubt but that robbery the cause of thr tragedy. 'No olucuhas been discovered connecting anyone with the crime and ' the police are still investigating. It is thought that the Beaufort County authorities and the Governor will each offer a suitable reward for the mu|| j darerfobber. If you want good fertiliser, and # | the right prices, d#h't fail to see Let. lie Fowden . M will break a Cold, Fever and Qrippe quicker than anything we know, preventing pneumonia.

Sheltun both of whom have bven County 'Demonstra tion Agents and connected mjkk other I'ami work, are thoroughly pvore ef ithe disadvantages the fanners have in marketing their crops and are m a position to render much valuable assistance to the farmers. Mr. O, F. Metreary and E. W. Gaithcr, Agents are also a»- sisting in the work as representatives of the Extension Division. The Exchange has the unrestricted endorsement of the Agricultural De partment* of both V irginia and North Carolina. The farmer* have for many years realized that they are slaves. It is hard to find one why has ever heard one word to say about the price of his peanuts, tobacco, cotton.- Ail the farmer does is to say "what will you give me?" And yet it would be the easiest thing in the world for them to say " I will take such a price ~ for these commodities" if they will just organize. The farmer does not know who cats his peanuts nor does the fellow who eats them know the farmer who raises them but one fact remains, the man who eats them pays a high price and the fj&nrfle who raises them gets a low price. The speculator has always been smart e nough to know ihe farmer and hold him with one hand, and at tho same time know the consumer and hold him with the other, so if the organi- - zation is completed it will mean a complete emancipation for the farmer and the speculator is the principal fighter of tb; work. - About thirty-seven hundred farm ers have already signed up and if Martin County comes across as she should it aaaures the success of tha organisation and wiU mean more for the peanut industry than anything ever undertaken by the peanut grow ers. Our farmers have been "bit" so many tlmoi by shark* they are hard to move and bivautas of the number of year* for which {key-have to sign up they are a little cautioca but if they will remember that the contract - they are called on to sign only goes over a period of seven years and that it is with their uwn fellow men they are dealing, men with the same In terest as themselves, when the farm er remembers that he has been in the hands of the speculator all his life, can he see any danger In lining up with his neighbors and friends for a period? Or will it be better for him to go on in the same old way and be pilfered anil gouged by the speculator all his days. Remember it is the specu lator who is fighting the fanners or ganization. We would not for a mom ent fight the speculator and many of them are just as good people as ever lived but why should the farmer feed him when he can get better prices' without him if they will organise.. This method of organization origi nated with farmers in California and has proven so satifactory to them that they would not think of abandon ing it. The cotton and tobacco farm ers are now undertaking just such | an organisation each of which U be ing let I by the best people of the South. Farmers! You cannot afford to pa's* by the opportunity to organ ize and Wherf organized you fix the price on your tobacco, cotton and p«a nuts. ey -v. > - - _ ... i in i iii inn i». + John ltespass, Jr., und jwife, Lola Res pass, und of record injthe public rag- Jj Ntry of Martin county in book U-ijaj at page 376, to secure the payrnoitflß of certain bontfflkkveen date and tfjkfl or therewith, and We. stipulations inHsj said deed of trust not having btonflgl complied with, and at the reqUes' parties interested toe nnd>Tll|UOt" j ihj the town of WilKamston, N. pie highest bidder for cash, the frfMfl w ■an."' tract a* rieetly . onveS u" d| Dnrninhni 10th laoi hfl
