ONE TOWN IN STATE
IS FREE FROM DEBT
Raleigh, Dec. 8 ? Chas. M. Johnson,
director of Local Government has
written officials of the town of
Sharpsburg, Nash county, extolling
the record and congratulating the 1
town on having anticipated its final
bonds, paid them all off, and has no
indebtedness of any kind, and will
have:/ sufficient income to operate
without borrowing any more money.
Sharpsburg issued $10,000 in bonds
May 1, 1928 to run 10 years, for the
purpose of building a municipal elec
tric light plant. The last $1,000 bond
and $30 interest, while not due until
Next May 1, has been paid and the
lown is now debt free and able tc
operate on its income without bor
rowing more. Mr. Johnson points
to this as an excellent municipal
achie\ ement.

PROCESSED FARM PRODUCTS
A movement has been started in
Georgia by the State College of Ag
riculture, the Federation of Women's
club3 and the State Bankers' Asso
ciation to encourage farmers to se
cure better proceesing of their pro
ducts.
j "One of the great handicaps to the
, saJe of farm produce in Georgia,"
; comments The Southern Cultivator,
"is its lack of uniform quality when
placed on the markets. The food
merchants of the state hare demon
strated their willing to give prefer
ence to Georgia-raised produce, but
they have experienced great difficulty
in moving it because of it3 lack of
uniformity in size and quality."
The same is true in North Cmo- ?
lina or almost any other Southern I
state. If our farmers are to get the j
1 maximum profit out of their prod-jets !
they must learn to grew and grade
and process them for market. Truck
crops, poultry, eggs, or cattle- of mix
ed quality will come closer to bring
ing bottom prices than top prices. ?

DEBT SETTLEMENT
Debt settlement agreements which i
failed to settle anything not only ap- j
ply to the European Governments,
but to Florida municipalities which
went broke following the crash of the
1925-26 real estate boom.
Agreements signed in Miami, We3t|
Palm Beach, ana St. Petersburg are 1
reported to bo very much unsettled j
at the present time. Virtually the (
same process is being followed in each j
instance. Upon failure of the muni- j
cipal taxpayers to come through with \
enough cash to pay the bondholders I
writs of mandamus were obtained in i
the United States district courts, ;
compelling the levying of sufficient j
millage to cover the debt service re- ,
quirements as provided for in the
settlement agreements.
In St. Petersburg, the agreement
terms were not met, whereupon the
usual mandamus was issued, and the
tax was duly levied. Now the tax
payers have countered with an in
junction to prevent sale of their
properties to liquidate the bond tax. ;
No one pretends to foresee the
eventual outcome. Most- everyone
however, contends that sufficient
money cannot be raised. ? Asheville
Advocate.
Many people complain about the
little cold snap we had this week?
that was something to be thankful
for and not to complain- about? be
cause it helped the farmers more than
it hurt the city folks. Cold weather
kills insects that ruin the farmer's
crop, while it has little effect upon,
the townspeople, except a few linger ?
in bed longer in the mornings. ? Way- .

WORTH OF A BOY
In times of subnormal business and
reduced tax receipts the cost of rear
ing a boy looms larger than at a time ,
of general prosperity. It has been esti- !
mated that it costs $100 a year to
keep a child in school. Life insurance '
companies figure that if boys become
self-supporting at the age of 20, they
will earn in the normal course of
their life from $10,000 to $62,500. So
1 the profit in rearihg a boy is, after
all, a handsome one when figured on
the basis of dollars and cents. Par-,
cuts are justified in placing a new es- j
timate of value on their boys, with
! these figures r.i mind. It costs the |
! state $300 a year to keep a criminal;
| and it costs $100 a year to educate
ja boy. So from both the standpoint
i of the boy and the state it is cheaper
? to educate him, no matter how costly
j it. may be, nor what sacrifices have
to be made to keep him in school. ?

! PENNY WISE, POUND FOOLISH
i Citizens who predicted that when
i Uncle Sam went back to 3 -cent post
j Htre he was making an unwise move
| can now say with satisfaction : ''I
I told you so." Only a few months have
: passed since the post office depart
1 ment, raised the rate from two to
three cents on a letter, yet the volume
of mail has slumped so in that time
that the next report of the depart
ment is pretty apt to show a larger
deficit than ever. It isn't the first
time it has happened.
That is why it is hard to under
stand why our postal officials rushed
headlong into it again. Business, al
readjf-in a discouraged mood, |re
i sentc-d the increased postal rate and
| cut down on its mailing. Private in
( dividuals are now writing fewer let
ters.
The saving of this cent on each
letter, running into millions, is just
that much the country could have
made but is not getting. It takes
some people, including postal officials,
a lifetime to learn that it doesn't pay
to be penny wise and pound foolish.

The story is told of a wise old
Quaker who was asked by severs.,
newcomers to his city, what sort or
a city it was. In turn, he ss*ed
each of them what sort of town they
had formerly resided in and wnai
<ort of people lived there. The first
one stated that his town was not
much of a town and that people were |
mean, narrow, suspiciousandunfan-. ,
"Then thou wilt find this town the
same and the people as in thine ? own
town," was the Quaker's reply. ;
Another told him that the people
in his town were friendly, broad
minded, honest, kind and lovable and
that he hated to leave them. then
thou wilt find the people here as tne
people in thine own town, was vh-.

A CHRISTIAN'S PLEA
(By Ernest Brown)
( Editor's Note ? The following
: beautiful expression was written by
i a native Transylvania county boy,
now preparing for the ministry. He
is a product of our public schools,
and this offering is but one of a mil
lion or more evidences that we. should
act cautiously in ?ny attempt to cur
tail our free school work.)
Feed my soul, 0 God,
, Upon the Li-ring Word;
? Let my soul look up to Thee
: While in this sinful world I trod.
Don't let me keep them to myself ?
All Thy joys you (five to me;
Of Thy I6ve, so full and free.
Let my soul burst out with praise
To the sick, and to the poor,
? Even the beggar I mustn't ignore.
? To every color, creed and face
Let me tell thy saving grace.
I am but a speck of clay,
Fashioned and moulded in Your way.
I need Your presence day by day
I To keep me in the narrow way.
; Throughout this strange lend
, Sorrow comes to every man;
| But there^-at Your right hand
i Is Heaven, Vif we obey the command.
I As I stand $efore the people here
| To proclaim iTby blessed word,
(Keep my heart pure and clean,
And let Thy shbiing armor gleam.
Of course, You kX^w all our needs,
But You've said vfc must ask
Strength for hardjnr easy task.
'Tis for this TKy vfervant pleads.
| Now, 0 God, do >/ear my plea ?
From a Christian'? heart to Thee.
