For the Protection of Wealth Alone
We are paying about SSOO a day, according to un
official rrjxjrts. to keep State troops in Marion—to
keep peace between mill men and strikers alike, as
we thought.
But it now seems that they are only there to pro
tect the mill property, since the militia there refused
to go to the aid of the strikers last week when they
were being fired into by a non-union worker. This
was after the strikers had requested protection from
the major in charge of the troops. The story goes that
the union men were told that they would have to see
the sheriff for protection; * •
If this is true, then the old idea that the army and
navy are for the protection of wealth seems to still
be true. '
Make a Living Before Making Money
"J. D. HARRISON
The Farmer Who Diversifies and Has Something
To Sell Every Day
"GVION, TEXAS"
The above letterhead is used by one of our Texas
subscribers who is always able to pay his subscription.
The letterhead probably explains why he is always
able to pay it. He does not suffer the crushing dis
asters that the single crop farmers so often do l4 ps is
the case this year, with our tobacco farmers, who pro
duced a short crop on account of heavy rains and who
are getting low prices on account of the heartless com
bination that takes the tobacco. Or the same mis
fortune that the cotton farmers are facing, with a
rained-out boll-weevil-eaten crop, and with prices
ranging low.
The cotton and the tobacco farmers are facing bank
ruptcy, and perhaps those who have backed them are
in the same danger.
The important thing is a diversity of crops, and
if nothing sells, the farmer will have something at
home to live on. Meat, corn, milk, butter, potatoes —
sweet and irish—thickens, eggs, and a 365-day gar
den will come as near making a poor man happy as
•anything he can get. ' «
Our farmers»must think more of making a living
and less about making money.
Beginning to Take Notice
The meeting of tobacco farmers in Raleigh Satur
day seems to have had some influence on the mar
ket.
Everybody knows that the great tobacco companies
won in their fight against the old association, yet it
cost them lots of money. They raised their prices
to outsiders. Somebody bought out some of the co
operative leaders; somebody boosted the warehouse
propaganda against the association.
If there is any one fact well established in the to
bacco trade, it is that the big five tobacco companies

do not want any more association, and nobody knows
better than they that if the old organisation had
possessed enough honesty in management and intel
ligence in membership that it would be going now
and that prices would be better than they are.
Another thing that should make the big companies
sit up and take notice is the fact that the United
States Farm Relief Board is being represented in the
farmers' meetings.
The tobacco companies may be expected to fight
the farmers' organization by boosting prices.
New School Soon to Open
The school of economy will have to open its doors
in this country pretty soon. It is doubtful if we will
ever be able to teach the people not to spend as much
as they make, but the important thing is to teach
them not to spend more.
Economy is the thing that will iave us from bank
ruptcy. £ .
A Failure at the Very Beginning
"The Faithful Church of Christ, Incorporated," a
new sect which was granted letters of incorporation
Tuesday by the Secretary of State, seems to have
many good ideals, yet it makes itself a victim of fail
ure in its very declarations.
It sets-out a number of objectives:
First, to preach the Gospel of Christ in its churches,
on the highways, and hedges. Of course, this is good.
It then sets up its power to work and act in legal
matters and set forth who may become members,
which includes all American citizens of the Caucasian
race, provided:
First, he has not been guilty of killing his fellow
man;
2nd, he has not more than one living wife; or, if a
woman, not more than one living husband;
3rd, he or she lias not committed adultery;
4th, women of maturity can not become members
who have bobbed hair until they pledge themselves to
the church to let their hair grow long; and they must
wear dresses that reach withio 10 inches-of the ground,
Sth, all ministers must have the same qualifications
as members, except that no minister shall have at
tended college, and sex shall not bar any person other
wise eligible for membership and the ministry in the
church. # '
This charter was granted to six persons, residents of
Thomasville, N. C.
It is indeed a peculiar creed and was evidently
drawn by a brother who did not have college advan
tages. The cteed is bitter against murder, adultery,
immodesty, and education. It does not broaden out
against the liar, the thief, the gambler, the defrauder,
the deceiver, the disobedient, and the other thousand
types of sinners. Doubtless they expect the Gospel
of Christ to take care of all that and they only
select what they consider the major sins as a basis for
th£ir creed.
Of course, it may look bad to see a woman walk
ing down the street with her dress two feet from the
ground, but who ever thought it would become neces
sary to organize a new church to lengthen women's
dresses?
Another feature of the creed is that it seems to
lack that spirit of charity and forgiveness which the
Master manifested on many occasions, especially with
the sinful woman at the well and the thief on the
cross.
Of course, the second section is non-controversial,
because one wife or one husband is enough for any
body at one time. But the darkness grows denser
when we strike the last lection. "No man shall preach
who has attended college." This is the clause in the
creed that spells doom to the cult. It clearly indi
cates that our schools still have plenty to do, when
we have such gross ignorance.
They are not in line with the Jesus they profess
to preach, because He took His leaders and taught
them so that they would be able to teach others and
then write His Word for a perpetual guide for all the
race of men.
It was thoughtful in these people not to specify to
what high school grade their preachers might attain,
or whether or not they might go beyond the grammar
grade. * .
Regardless of how pure in heart these people are,
they can never hope to successfully lead many men
upward to a higher life.
