God's Laws Come First
Self-preservation is the first law of nature—and the
last law of God. Selfishness says swim yourself and
let the world drown; grow fat if you can even if the
balance of the world starves. The law of God says
do unto others as you would have them do unto you;
care for the sick and fatherless; comfort the poor;
and many other things are included in the list of good
deeds.
Perhaps one of our greatest troubles in this very
day is caused by the fact that we have observed the
laws of nature so long that God has forgotten us—
or ignores us.
The thing we need most is to cast off our selfish
ness and get back to God's laws. We will get all
the blessings that we need when we do just that.

Money Commands Too Much Respect
People with money are getting too much publicity.
It matters not whether they have character or not,
just let a man or woman who has plenty of money
sneeze in Australia or cough in Africa, Japan, or 1 im
buctoo, and the newspapers of the world herald it
as big news. .
On the other hand, very little is being said about
the ordinary everv-day honest citizen.
This discrimination tends to keep the public mind
from properly appraising the best things in life; in
fact, the very basis of our civilization.
We seem to have a money-crazed, or a money-mad,
mind. If we have money, all is well; if we have.,no,
money, we are not worthy of consideration. \\ hen
the public mind and thought is converted from the
channels of money and war and trained in the ways
of character and peace, we will get more blessings and
be much safer.
Cry for Peace Rather than for War
The merrv go round has disclosed the fact that
admirals and generals ar.e res|xmsible for our wars.
They send out the propaganda to the people and in
fluence Congress to keep the war spirit fanned.
Peace means prosperity. Let us all cry for |>eace
rather than for war.

Checking Up on the Bureaus
One or two of our State bureaus find that they are
not supreme in their powers. They have been de
manding large sums from the State treasurer with
out consulting the State auditor. The bureaus now
find it necessary to file all bills and items with the
auditor and get his approval and warrant before the
money can be drawn. This one item may save the
State a big sum of money. Now, nobody claims that
anybody has been stealing. But many people feel
there has been a powerful lot of extravagance and
careless spending done in raising birds, running a
few boats and for other things almost too numerous
to mention. -t-"
Let the law take its course.
Time + o Prepare Winter Garden
Canning season will soon be over, but there is
the winter garden just ahead. More than half a
dozufi healthful and valuable vegetables may be pro
duced in every Martin Coujity garden this winter.
Do your best to prepare a garden for the winter that
you might guard against hunger for yourself and for
your neighbor, if necessary.

Supply and Demand on Trial
Tobacco Tips.
Those who live in the world of tobacco this week
will emerge from the state of calculation, estimation,
aifid speculation into the land of reality and actuality
\ there they will grapple with facts for the selling
season of the golden weed has arrived.
On Tuesday the South Carolina and border mar
kets opened—today the cry of the auctioneer was
heard upon the warehouse floors of Georgia—within
little more than two weeks the sales will open in the
Old North State and the flow of tobacco to market
will be continuous and uninterrupted until the mar
keting has been completed on the Tennesseee and
Kentucky floors next summer.
The "law of supply and demand'' is on trial for
its life this year —if it is not "enforced," those who
grow tobacco for a livelihood will demand its immed
iate and unconditional "repeal."
Farmers throughout the length and breadth of the
tobacco-crowing states of this union are watching with
eagle eye every move that will be made upon the mar
ket -these men who tilled the soil know beyond ques
tion of doubt that the crop this year is the shortest
produced in the past twenty years—they know that
the "supply" of tobacco has been reduced this year
I by untold millions of pounds—they see evidences of
this reduction on every hand, and earnestly have they
tried to make every pound of their tobacco "good,"
so that when it is placed upon the market it will com
mand at least a living wage.
At the samctime, there has also been a heavy slump
in the consumption of tobacco and tobacco products,
this attributed to the high tariff wall and to the de
creased earnings of American workmen, who are un
able to purchase tobacco.
It is certain that the decreased use fif tobacco is
nothing like as heavy as the decreased production on
the farms of the south this year, leaving a substan
tial balance on the side of the ledger marked "de
mand"—with the supply on the farms materially low
er than the demand, naturally the farmer is expecting
better prices than those paid in 1931.
The so-called law of supply and demand" is on
trial for its life this year, with the tobac?o farmers
of the South the members of the jury—the verdict
can not be rendered until later in. the season.
