An Editor Retires
Forty-four years, on the watch tower of the city t>f
Goldsboro stood Colonel Joseph E. Robinson, to
bpread news of good will and warnings of danger to
the people of Goldsboro and the people in the tern
lory. His one great desire has been to better the
condition of his neighbors, to strengthen tliem religi
ously, morally, mentally, physically and financially.
Colonel Robinson retired as editor, of the Golds
boro Daily Argus on April the thirtieth, selling the
pai>er after running it for 44 years, reaching the age
where the burden was too^ heavy to bear
There are, of course, many richer people in Golds
boro than Colonel Robinson, for newspaper people
rarely get rich; but suppose the people should be
called upon to present the citizen who has rendered
the greatest service to the city, there is little doubt
but that Colonel Robinsori would be the man He
has given every worthy call-*' the backing of bis news
pa|ier, the churches, the schools, the civic clubs, the
city and. county, governments, all have found favor
in his publicity, and practically every worth-while
thing in the city is indebted to his service, to some
degree, for its success.
Vet tin- service rendered by the newspaper is too
often overlooked and es|>ecially by the more frivol
ous and less-thinking class. They fail to understand
that (lie city grows as much from the newspa|>er as
the newspajjer does from the city.
Free Press Endangered
How long will it be liefore the world is afraid to
speaks It really seems that the feeling of perfect
freedom is rapidly passing.
Recent investigations of certain |>a[)er, power, and
newspaper systems indicate that there is a growing
effort to throttle the newspapers. The plan ap[*ars
to be for the power trusts to form paper manufactur
ing trusts and they, in turn, to own the newspa|*rs
of the country. Of course, they claim it is only a
business venture, but even at that it is a very danger
ous venture for those who believe in fair play for
all |ieo|Je Naturally, a newspaper owned by a cer
tain interest will speak more freely and more favor
ably about the things favorable to them than the
things unfavorable to them. And, then, too, most of
us want all the nice things we d > published in big
letters, and all the bad things wc do hidden in the
bottom of the waste basket.

newspaper to bow down and praise them when they
give a few inches of advertising.
What we need is more pMple and moee
to find the truth and tell it untarnished to the world,
so that more people may know the truth about things
—social, political, and otherwise.
This is a day when many politicians do not want
too much publicity; and there are lots of old repro
bates parading around in social circles that would not
let their "wives and husbands know of their activities
for any sum.
So the demand to soft-pedal on some news is very
great. The servant is afraid to speak of the evil deeds
of his lord, the debtor trembles in the presence of his
creditors, the hireling dares not tell of the oppressions
by his employer. Indeed, we are losing rather than
gaining freedom of all kinds—with the exception of
social freedom, which seems to be widening day by
day
More for the Tax Money
James F. Walsh, president of the Association for re
trenchment in public expenditures, says the only real
tax reform is "Spend less."
If we do not curb some of our public expenditures,
we are in danger of collapsing. The greatest increase
in our governmental cost is found in our schools. We
should not cut the expenditure. But we certainly
need to increase the efficiency of our schools, which
have failed to keep pace with the rapidly growing cost.
Our taxpayers should demand better and more
stringent government in our school*, vie have too
much waste of time, at heavy cost to those who in
dulge in all the time-wasting side lines.
t really appears that play, not work, is one of the
school goals of the day., anfl the parents are more
responsible for this condition than the teachers. One
thing is certain about the situation. The country
must turn over a new leaf.
Law and Order
Some of our North Carolina politicians, such as
Senators, governors, etc., must be in a considerable
strain trying to run down and find out the guilty
parties who have harassed and beaten up people in
(iastonia and destroyed their property. It seems that
they have been quite successful down there in finding
factory workers when they march around the streets
a little bit, but they have failed to see folks who knock
down and drag out strikers.
Forest Wardens Needed
Should the county employ forest-fire wardens would
seem to be too plain a question to argue.
Fire is the greatest enemy of the wood. It kills
even, to the stateliest pine. It destroys timber in an
everything in its wake, from the sprouting acorn,
hour which nature has used a century to build. It
destroys animal life and actually burns out much of
the value of soil.
Most of the fires come from carelessness and in
difference. What we need is a better conscience on
the woids-burning subject.
A few forest wardens scattered here and there to
fight fires and to leach and impress the neighbors of
the importance of keeping fire out of dry woods will
go a long way towards saving the thousands in fire
damage done each year by jjeople who either don't
know or don't care.
Many land owners do not know that they have no
right to put fire in their own woods without giving
all neighbors ample notice.
Martin County is being asked by the State to
offer such sums as may lie needed, up to S7OO. War
dens are paid only by the hour for services actually
rendered, and when they summon men to fight forest
fires they are also |>aid by the hour for their services.
II no work is done, there will be no coat, and under
the proposed plan, it can not cost this county more
than S7OO.

DEAR FARMER
STOP, LOOK AND
LISTEN!
Here is your opportuni
ty to gain in your yield of
tobacco per acre by using
the
FOWLER
CULTIVATOR
which gets the dirt from
middle of the row and
makes a perfect ridge
without cutting off your
feed roots. It has proved
that hilling tobacco in
this way has made a gain
from $25 to SSO per acre.
" \ • ;
For you know: When
you side your tobacco the
last times the feed roots
are cut off, which checks
the growth for a few days.
During this time new feed
iroots are formed, which
really causes a second
growth. This second
growth causes your tobac
co to grow bony and
thin. If the feed roots are
not cut off, your tobacco
will thicken as it spreads
and make a better quality
of tobacco.
