Planting Trees Along the Highways
Various and sundry civic and patriotic organiza
tions are planting trees along the roadside. Doubt
less the next generation will grow tired of them and
cut them down. The habit of the American people
is for one generation to build up for the next to tear
down.
However, there is grave doubt about the right to
use the highways for the purpose of growing trees.
The law authorizing the building of the present
highway system granted the state the right to con
demn land, to use dirt and timber necessary to build
roads, but it did not give the State the right to grow
timber on the right of way and draw the fertility
from the adjoining farms, so say nothing of raising
trees that will cast shadows on adajacent crops and
destroy them.
As it is now, the state is leaving pine and many
other varieties of trees along the edge of their right
of way, which will, in a very few years, destroy the
crops of the fields adjoining for many yards away. If
the state is going to plant trees along the highway, it
should to such varieties as will apt spread
their roots beyong the edge of the right of way, nor
cast their shadows so as to injure adjoining crops.
After the state has had the use of 50 or 60 feet of
fine cleared land free for the purpose of building a
road, it is not only an injury but an insult to plant
a type of trees along the highway that will be a per
manent injury to much more adjoining land.
The farm owner will do well to cut the tittle trees
down before they do become a source of damage. It
is all right for folks sitting in the town shade to want
to beautify the countryside, but if they destroy too
much of the farmers' productive soil, hunger will do
them more harm than roadside beauty will benefit
them.

Men of Strength Needed
This is the year to send strong men to the State
Senate, and the news that Hon. A. D. Mac Lean has
consented to become a candidate from this district
will meet the approval of many people, not only of
this district, but throughout the entire State.
Since the memorable fight in the last General As
sembly for _relief of taxes on property, Mr. Mae-
Lean and' his tax methods have become very popu
lar. In fact, so popular that all the politicians are
trying hard to get on his platform. Even the big fel
lows who so secretly, so systematically, and so eag
erly fought it in the legislature are now shouting for
it. In fact, some of the fellows who are asking for
votes in the coming primary have been forced to drop
their own ideals and jump on the Mac Lean band
wagon.
However loud the politicians may talk, there is go
ing to be need for men of strength and experience in
the next Senate, which will be the axis upon which
the great tax fight is going to center.
Mac Lean will be needed to combat those fellows
who have made it a business to see that little business
pays more tax in proportion than big business pays.
—Hip Pocket a-Bulging
Smitkfidd Herald.
A man walked into the court room. He had on'
overalls, and one would take him to be a farmer. On
his arm was a tin bucket. It had a lid on it. It was
evidently no empty bucket. It was not a new bucket,
and we were not impressed that it contained eight
pounds of lard. It had a regular lid that came well
down over the edges, and we are sure it was not a
bucket of bought syrup. If it Lad been on the arm
of a school boy, or the arm of a man on hit way to
work, or during tome other presidential administra
tion than Hoover's, we would say it was a full dinner
pail. But being in a courthouse, we just do not know
what was in the tin bucket. And because we could
not figure K out, our attention was deimed by his
bulging Up pocket. From the size, we know that it
was a full quart. From the careful manner in which
he sat down, we know it was a glass container. From
the color of the liquid which showed plainly from
the top of the pocket, we know that it was a fruit jar'
of cow's mQk. Surely the milk campaign being q>oo
aored by the State Board of Health to having some
eflact in Johnston County when the farmer takes his
8 Condemn Liquor—Not the Law
There is much being said against the liquor law.
Why will the people be beguiled into hating a law
that is aimed at a destructive monster which is sap
ping the reason-out of men and women, often destroy
ing their character, and is nothing more than a sub
stance that robs, mentally, morally, nad financially—
without the slightest hope of giving any good thing
in return.
A few folks say the liquor law is a bad thing. On
the other hand every reasonable thinker knows al
cohol is a bad thing. Then why not switch our con
demnation against liquor rather than against the law
that is intended to stop the ravages of liquor upon
everything clean, decent, reasonable, and righteous.
The truth about the whole matter is that the
thought of the public is being molded by a system of
false propaganda, conceived in sin and misery.
Congress Swings Into Lifie
It is quite gratifying to see Congress getting down
behind the Wall Street gamblers. If it can just
crush the last New York gambler, it will be the great
est thing Congress has ever done. It is strange that
a system so vile ana mean, a system of robbery that
keeps the country sapped to death, has any standing
with decent people.
. The trouble with the gambler is that there is al
ways somebody near with little enough sense to be
fleeced.
Congrss actually seems to be developing a con
science. A committee has actually recommended un
seating Senator Bankhead, of Alabama, because he
cheated old Tom Heflin. Truth and honesty are two
great virtues, and jt is gratifying to see Congress
swinging in line.
Easy Credit Has Proved a Curse
Sampson Independent.
We don't know what amount, if any, individual
farmers will be able to borrow as a result of the or
ganization of the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
tion. Some have gained the idea that it will be pos
sible to borrow aganst this year's farming operations,
and no doubt such government loans would prove a
blessing to many at this particular time.
However, many farmers already have learned that
loans made through agencies developed or backed by
the government carry dangers with them. Some farm
ers have successfully used such credits, while many
others who have borrowed too much hqye, or will,
lose their homes as a result of securing such loans.
That is, many farmers who over-used their ability to
borrow some years ago, now have nothing left on
which to get credit.
And others besides farmers have suffered ill effects
from the ease of credit when money was more plenti
ful than now. Many who owned homes and other
property in the cities and towns borrowed too freely
and have been unable to pay back the money bor
rowed. It must be admitted that there is more need
for borrowing than when many of the loans now hang
ing over farm and town property were secured, but
those who borrow money at any time should not lose
sight of the fact that it is to be replaced and with in
terest added.
While the difficulty in securing credit now may be
a handicap, and often work a hardship on individ
uals and business enterprises, the tightened credit
will, nevertheless, prove a blassing later. We believe
that easy credit is more responsible than any other
one thing for the present financial conditions. Had
it not been for easy credit many who have lost their
farms and homes would still have them. One of the
chief problems now is to pay back that which was
borrowed and spent when borrowing was easy and
when the necessity for borrowing was not nearly so
great as it is today. Pay day should ever be kept
in mind at borrowing time.
The greatest blessing which the people of the agri
cultural sections can hope for as a result qf the re
construction finance corporatoin would be in provid
ing work for idle millions, which, in turn, would mean
higher prices for farm produce. Nothing would prove
so beneficial to farmers as reasonable prices for that
which they have to market at harvest time, and we
are hoping that something may happen to make that
possible in 1932.
Let's Keep Our Dollars At Home
Smith field Herald. i . .
One of the best pieces of work that any dub can
do is to keep home-town dollars at home. The Ki
wanis Club of Smithfield realises this fact, and is at
work on a plan to do this very thing. For several
issues, The Herald has carried announcements of
Dollar Day specials which will be offered by Smith
field merchants on each first Monday in the month,
and the Khranis Club is the promoter of this move
ment. .
So long as the home town dollar stays in the home
town, every citisen has a chance to get it. The day
it moves to the big dty, it has gone out of circula
tion, so far as the home town and county is concerned.
For instance, if a citizen of Smithfield subscribes to
his home town paper, those dollars begin the rounds.
The masculine member of this firm will 'likely spend
his dollar for a piece of roast from the meat market.
The butcher will pay his rent. The landlord will pay
~ his fire insurance. The insurance agent will boy a
new suit of clothes. The merchant will get a shave,
a haircut, a shine, and a shampoo. The feminine
member of the firm will doubtless buy a dress from
the department store. The department store proprie
tor will pay his clerk. The clerk witf have her pair
of shoes soled. The cobbler will pay his electric bill.
The town will pay the policeman. The policeman
will buy an automobile. The automobile firm will
pay their tan* And so the story goes. Let's . . .
keep Johnston County dollars in Johnston County.

DRIFTWOOD
By TOMMY
While President of the United
States, Woodrow Wilson was tendered
a most tempting invitation to partici
pate in what liia biographer says was
his favorite diversion. It might have
been to attend a baseball game. Wil
son was very fond of athletics. He
was at the time preparing a very im
portant document. "My bosa will not
let me do this," was the President's
immediate reply. At such an answer,
I imagine his petitioner, in utter a
mazement, wondered who could be the
boss of the President of the United
States. Perhaps his mind, through
"sheer force of habit, suggested Mrs.
Wilson. But the President immedi
ately qualified his statement. "I have
a conscience that is my boss," he aaid.
"It drives me to the task and will not
let me accept thia tempting invitation."
Woodrow Wilaon was President in
the most emulous epoch that civiliza
tion has ever experienced. It was his
great consciousness of people and
principle that equipped him to be the
trusted leader of his nation and the'
reformer of hs era.
During our great civil strife, it was
Abraham Lincoln at the helm of our
mutinous ship of .state who was "ever
conscious of the sufferings, prostra
tion and needs of a divided nation." I
His conscionce was the threshold of
his great temple of character. His sense
of justice toward all human conduct
and his sense if the moral goodness
or badness of tjie motives of society,
pointed the way which .he so wisely
followed. J
George Washington, bidding adieu
to an administration that he had so
ably directed through those perilous
days in which our government had its
beginning, impeached that mind which
was selfish and without compassion.
It was with a superior sense of com
mon burden-sharing among his fellow
countrymen that he there bcseeched
them in his well-known entreaty, to
keep alive that heavenly gift called
conscience.
In these days when our nation is
faced with economic strife, when the
world is looking to America for inter
national leaderahip, when the com
monwealth is seeking a master of re
construction, when the electorate is
choosing a President, let us pray to
God to give us a man with a con
science.
