WATCH THE ADVERTISING
Special attention is called to the
line of advertisements, i nthis
When we see business peftple pushing
thigs, two things are generally cer
tain, firt they are entitled to succeed
second, they do succeed. Some people
say it doesn't pay to advertise .and
therefore never spend anything J(n
that line but they live in progressive
communities built up by people who
are willing to pull thfe plow as well
as eat the fodder. It takes a great
amount of energy, courtesy and sacri
fice to build up a good community.
Monjy alone do it. We vouch
for our advertisers and commend them
to your confidence.

ALL GOING WRONG
IN COTTON FIELD
Washington, Sept. I.—Cotton grow
i ling has jiyt suffered the most disas
i tiou.s month m it shistory. The indi
cated crop will be the smallest in the
! last thirty three years, while its con
dition now is the lowest ever record
led iu any month in the' industry's
I history. Ravages of the boll weevil
are principally the cause of the se
v'ere decline of the crop, amounting
to a loss of 1,116,000 bales in pros
pective production since lastmonth'
lorecast. The Department of Agri
■ culture, in announcing today its fore
cast o fa total production of 7,037,(100
ebuivalent 600-pound bales, based, on
a canvass made August 2f>, declared
.everything seemed to have gone
wrong with the crop."
Near to Record of IttHtl
An acre yield of 127 pounds to tiie
acre i siniticated for the country a
- a whole this year. Never in lw la I
fifty-six years has the yield been u
lon. The nearest >pproach wa> I2'.i
piuinds in IHSCi. O iv '.II per ce'jt of a
i lop i.- promised is some counties or
Sowth Carolina. P.nts id' OVahoin.i
will not have more Oinnlfuit'i cent
of a crop. /VI out i ,'c-third d a crop
oi less will be p'liluced in i l or
o! Texas South Carolina and eorgin.
A half a crop orbetter may be pro
i. iced in Mississippi, northern Ala
baina, northern tieoi'gia, and northern
South Carolina. States on the north
ern edge o fthe cotton belt may have
about two-thirds of a crop.
The statement^says:
"From 40 to SMI per cent of the
bolls- are affected in southern South
Carolina and the proportions run
Georgia through Alabama, Missis
sippi and Louisiana to Texas am l
Oklahoma tin' weevil has multiplied
far beyond the usual experience. In
Oklahoma, notwithstanding heat and
drought, it is worse than ever e\
perienced. In Texas it is the chief
cause of deterioration.
Mild Winter Had Inlluence
"The mild winter is held respon
sitile for sparing an unusual numbei
(if weevils as well as other insects,
which have multiplied beyond meas.
ure and are devastating tin* now
growth in practically nl Ithe area of
its present range. the army worm
is present in large numbers* tliroug
out most of Arkansas, Tennessee and
north Mississippi,"but the defoliati-m
of the heavy growth i- not looked up
on as an unmixed evil, lioll wonn
anil the usual pests are present 11
greater numbers than usual, lint theii
damage is small compared with tin
weevil. In North Carolina and Vir
pinia the long drmlg.lv? has heen ;l

When Uernuiny thought herself alih
to grab the world by the tl.rt ai ; nil
l'ui'ce her imperialistic principles ol
thought, laws and religion upon num
kind, civilization revolted and should!
as did Israel of old and Germany w.i
crushed. It looked to the casual th i k
ei that the spirit of I oace on Faith
and Good Will to Men, vyoidd ,noi.
reign over the nations of the vol Id.
This idea swept practically nil people
of all nations, excepting a few Ameri
can money sharks whose influence
was soont-seen and felt. Tho first
thing was to begin the spread ol
false propaganda. While the wai was
going on and while the country was
drunk with prosperity and pleasure
they laid deep the foundation of noliti
cal lies ami falsities. This plan was to
cause a financial panic which would
burst the country and starve the pooi
er classes in to line. «*uch v a" condittyu
never fails to cause a revolution a
inong peoples. Such was the cas,'
when Israel denounced Moses and
cursed God while matching -to tin
Promised Land. So when the lurney
kings forced a panic they then had
the country by the throat. I'liey boast
ed and gloated over the ilcfe.-u of the
league of ations and of course they
knew that they had a band- of body
servants at Washington who would
do their every command.
Then war was fully declaieil by
Capital against Labor. One of the
TiTst things iione was to make freight "
aiiil passenger services the highest,
ever known in any country siuce I'v
invention of steam. The same was true
o fthe other industries. The tende"iic>
was to hold up the price of commodi
ties produced by the wealthy few mil
to put down the price of commodities
produced by the many. The man who
works for the institutions favored by
the government has only suffered a
slight, cut while all other labor lias
suffered a heavy cut. There are about
(1,000,000 without any job at all. We
know of no business that could not
pay good prices if the government
made good all losses, and guarantee
a nice profit.
If it true that war has been deehued
by Capital against Labor? Y'ejf the
•M II Trust sof oNrth Carolina have
alu'udy been blessed with soldiers-and
have asked for more not to break up
lints but lo intimidate the laborers.
Again we «wee President Harding
sending American forces into the ipal
fields of West Virginia to force pom
people to accept the terms laid ilow n
by the coal Karons, whose policy has
ever been to amass wealth from both

It is hanlly possible for the poor I'd
low who has only u body (his soul
is not his) to get the true statu of
affairs. II one takes a long journey

railroads lined for many tulles with

That wu,n demonstrated when the In

They were about to uncover the

that not exactly willing to
take ay bitter a dose as some of the
modern circu:;es are futuyg up to the
people. We notice posted on the barns
tenves and trees ot every highway and
byway advertiscinvj of the Walter L.
Main Show whrrh vrfl be in Martin
County on the 'Jt.i and Howes Great
London Show which will exhibit at
\V a.shlngto i and Plynfouth about
Sept. 12th. 1 hey have deliberately
covered up large amounts of the Fair
Association Advertising matter. Thin
pi actio? not generally tolerated by
decent people and only a few snider
wil do it.
One ohtre habit shows have id to
send wild cat news articles to country
newspapers acocmpanied by a ticket
or two, and the newspaper:, too often
tall for a tree ticket and something to
fill up with and gorge the dose down
to b eread by the innocent public,
only to he induced to come to see the
great things -that aro not there and
many times to lall victims of some
black hand swindle. We have not a
word to say against the circus or the
menagerie, but warn our people a
gainst the side shows and the grensy
games, for they wil clean youup too
quick ami they do not elevate the
morals of people either.
One clause ot the advertising mut
ter oI the Howes (ireat London Show
says that ther are 1100 people, 660
horses and 400 zoo animals with the
show. This means that it will take
at U asl cars to" carry the people
and 22 cars to carry the horses and
we cannot estimate how many cars
to carry the animals u.s they do not
say what kind of animuls thero are.
I his all may be so hut it soun«is like
a big lie to us.
