Farmers Imposed On The land banks are iin|»osing on farmers who have loans with them. Another stroke by the money kings at the heart of the man unable to help himself is seen in the fact that within the past few days hundreds of farmers of Martin County have been notified by the North Carolina Land Bank of Durham that their insurance policies carried in the Farmers Mutual I'ire Insurance Association were all canceled and that they must insure in a regular stock company within 10 days, or they would write it and charge the expense as part of the loan. Their pretext is that the Farmers Mutual does not carry u large legal reserve. The land bank tefers all policyholders to agents' of the Peoples National, oi New York. We do not know why they should wish all of their insurance in that company when there are hundreds just as good, al though there is some suspicion that the land bank, or possibly some of its officers, are getting a special rake off on the policies of the Peoples National. The hundred farmers in Martin County who have loans in the North Carolina Joint Stock Land Bank will have to pay more than three times as much as their insurance' costs in the Farmers Mutual. The Martin County branch of the Farmers Mutual Fire Insurance Association has been operating for more than a third of a century It has paid every claim for damages caused by tire, wind, or lightning. The cost to the policyholder has been less than $4 per thousand for the entire period. The same insurance in the regular fire insurance companies costs $13.02 per *l,ooo', paid in advance for three years. If paid for 1 year it would cost $15.10 per SI,OOO. That is to say, the three-year poli cies in the stock fire insurance companies cost more than three times as much as the same protection has cost in the Farmers Mvjtual, and a one-year policy in the old line companies costs three and three-fourths times as much as in the Farmers Mutual. The Martin County branch of the Farmers Mutual is composed of 700 of the leading farmers of Martin County who carry about $1,250,000 worth of insur ance in the association.. There are 20 other branches in the State with more than $40,060,000 worth of in surance in force, and their experience is about the same as the Martin County branch.

The people of this country are paying tribute to the insurance companies all out of proportion to what is reasohable. They are eating up the people on rates. If they will use the same business diligence as does the -Farmers Mutual, they can cut their rates in half. The laws of the law should prohibit insurance rates higher than enough Jo pay all legitimate losses and expenses. If they will guard against dishonest policy holders who insure to burn, then they can give decent rates. * ~y 'I The North Carolina Joint Stock Land Bank has no right to force honest farmers to take insurance with rates high enough to take care of all the rascality in the land. Farmers should revolt against them and their in surance company. Cotton At $3.00 a Pound The first bale of 192$> cotton, grown in Texas and ship|)ed to New York by airplane Monday, was sold for $1,211. Of course there .is no reason why cotton should sell for $3 |>er (xnind other than the first-bale fad. And, of course, the fact that it was carried by airplane from Texas added to the fad. We ifte a great people for sensations, and it is a fine thing for a bale of .cotton to sell for $3 per pound. Jiut what this country needs is for a whole crop to sell for $3 a pound. It would take just about that much to ease everybody up now. Let Congress Stay Away The country has reason to rejoice that Congress has left Washington for a while. For the longer they put off that proposed tariff the better for the country —a* few "big dogs" excepted. This tariff bill, if passed and finally becomes law, will put about $800,000,000 into the pockets of 10 l>er cent of the people j>f the United States, and that amount will be paid by the other 90 |*r cent. The 90 p?r cent are the poor people; the 10 per cent are the rick people, who have already grown rich on un fair tariff duties and are seeking to grow richer by the same unfair laws. A few [>eople may pile up wealth by high tariff acts, but this country is heading for the rocks by pro tecting the goods of the few against the interests of the mass of American citizens and t the balance of the world. The Jury System The human mind is subject to many variations. A fair insight of the ability l" understand may be eas ily seen bj- observing the questioning of men as to their fitness for jury duty. It is not so hard to un derstand the niysfery of a jury verdict after testing the understanding of a large number of citizens. Many men look lightly u|x>n such procedure; others seem not to have the capacity to understand and quite a few show their unwillingness to sit on a jury and seem purposely to want to disqualify themselves by their answers. I'erhai* the worst feature of the jury system is the inability of many men to understand the mean- Mntf of words, which of itself renders them incompe tent to pass on important questions. To say the least of it, the jury system is a long way from perfect, which can be clearly demonstrated by questioning a number of citizens. They may be honest and sincere, yet, not having experience, are un able to understand. The jury system should be changed, or the laws reg ulating it should be more rigidly enforced. * - sale covering the following land: Bounded on the N by the lands ot the late Calvin Griffin, on the E by the lands of the late Calvin Griffin, on the E by the lands of C.
