Friday, November 30, 1928 Keep Water Transportation Free The railroad has built many great inland cities within the century. Yet with the ra|»idly rising freight rates,, same cities may be facing hard ships which will cripple their growth. The govern ment policy- of permitting the railroads to make i profit by rat Ing freight charges is going to make freights unbearable and |*»ftits without water trans portation advantages will find the freight a great item in their, costs. Water transportation |K>ints, with proper organi zation to prevent excessive charges, will have a de cided advantage over inland places. What this coun try needs is a well-developed water transportation sys tem to provide for all ty|>es of freight-carrying boats, They should -be develojied by the States and held by the States to always l>e separate, free, and independ ent of the railroads. We should remember that the railroads have run all ffie t>oaTs except their-t»wn off of the inland waters of this country within our own recollection. The people should speak through their legislatures and through Congress and never |>ermit the water 'lines to be dominated by the railroads again, *' Are We Really Charitable? Are we really .t charitable people v ... • _ , : .... . t • ...I ,"r-» 4 - Although we ajpe almost boasters of the great things we are doing, it is doubtful if we are sacrificing as much as our ancestors did. We are, of course, doing many fine things, but are we really making many sacrifices? It seems more like we are giving a bit from our abundance. / There has been a time when |>eople were willing to lay aside 1 thir own work and build tschools and churches and roads and other things of public need, but not so now. These things have Jto depend upon taxes, which cause much murmuring. The* habit of visiting a neighbor in sickness and distress has now grown .into a mere formality, and if there is* much real sacrifice we dodge it by Ix-ing too busy, or with some other excuse. It is also a significant fact that youth has less re spect for age than in centuries past. It is doubtless because of the shallowness of the examples being set for. them, which they are weU able to read for them- We are fooling ourselves when we say what a great age this is, but we are not fooling the young sters. * f The trouble seems to be that we are depending al most solely on money for everything, rather than per sonal service, and nothing goes these days without a money and plenty of it. We need to study ourflVea morti sod as we grow in riches our charity and Service should also increase. Notice To Town Light and Water Customers At a special meeting of the Board of Commissioners of the Town of Williamson, held in the Mayor's Office on Monday, No vember 26th, 1928, the following ordinance was duly passed: That the water and light superintendent of the Town of William ... ston be, and he is hereby, empowered, authorized, and instructed to cut off and to discontinue'on and after the first day ofTlaShi ary, 1928, the water service to any partnership, corporation, or person who shall be purchasing water from the Town of Wllliafci ston and who shall have failed, neglected or^ refused to pay any amount that shall be due the Towjyof Williamston for electri cal light or power services furnished by the Town of Williamston to said partnership, corporation, or person. Provided, That this ordinance shall apply also to any partnership, corporation, or person Who supplies tenants with water, land such tenants shall —be indebted to the town for electrical light or power services and shall have failed, neglected, or refused to pay for same as set Be it so ordained this the 26th day of November, 1928. ruaillHlD ■VBRV WIBBAY AMD rWIOAY Tobacco Companies Prosperous A farmer produces $902 per year in value for all his *ervicfs, to make no charge for his investment; that is-his land, team, trtols, fertilizer, and other charges. A man who works in a tobacco factory produces $25,930 on the investment which his company has, that is, his factory. In 1927 twenty-one tobacco factoties in this State tt>ok all of the tobacco crop, hired 15,976 people and paid them $12,545,000 in wages. They paid the farmer and for fuel and power used in manufactur ing the tobacco the sum of $124,712,918. The prod uct was then worth $413,274,114. This shows that by paying out the sum of $137,257,993, they had a profit of $288,561,196; more than twice as much as all the tobacco cost them, all the labor cost them, together with the fuel and power costs. A man who works in a tobacco factory produces 28 times as much for his company as a farmer gets forahimself. A tobacco worker produces seven times as, much profit for his matser as a furniture laborer does for his employer. With these facts, it is easy to understand how so many men are becoming so vastly rich in the tobacco business, while the farmers are strained to death a irl complainings>f hard times. We do not know what will remedy this condition, but we do know the tobacco manufacturers have a cinch, and the farmers have not. The Gainful Occupation o( Leisure Otto H. Kahn must be right in recently saying: " "Ours is a restless, purposeful, dynamic age. It i* ceaselessly exploring, challenging) discovering, con quering, developing^ i* "At no |»eriod in history have changes been so rapid, so decisive, and so far-reaching, of such vital effect upon the ways of living, the manners and concepts of the |ieopte, as they have last fifty years, and particularly in the last twenty-five in this coun try. "One of the most characteristic changes, and one of the most far-reaching in its the race i-» the increased amount of leisure which, of late years, has come into the life of a large portion of our popu lation, especially that of the working men. The sig nificance of that development is accentuated by the abolishment of the saloon: "1 need .not point out to a body of educators the very great im|Kirtance of the use which we make of our leisure hours. Dean Inge, the famous "gloomy dean" of England, did not exaggerate when he said recently: 'The right use of leisure is no doubt a harder problem than the right use of our working hours. The soul is dyed the color of its leisure thoughts. As a man thinketh ip his heart so is he. ' Apart from those lessons which we learn from our daily experience in the routine affairs oT our existence and in our reg ular occupations, it is not too much to say that our individual development, the very contents of our lives, are largely influenced, if not determined, by the uses to which we devote that part of our time which is not absorbed by the demands of what government statistics term gainful occupations.' •'As a matter of fact, I know no occupations more gainful' in the truest sense of the word than those having no relation to mere monetary returns. To quote Dean Inge once more: 'Every impersonal in terest has a universal quality about it. It makes life as a whole worth more to us, and opens avenues which enlarge our minds." "Being given reasonably good health —and'the use of our leisure hours much to do, of course, with the making or marring of our health—l doubt whether the world has ever known a time when such bountiful op- IMirtunities were available as there are now for mak ing the life of the average man in the leading countries full and rich and interesting and stimulating, more especially in our own country." Make democracy sound by making it intelligent. •«—'W. S. Learned, Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-_ vancement of. Teaching.
