I am free to my that if this Charge could bo sustained I woald regard it as saMcicat jaatifka tten for Us removal and woald join the people in retiring Mr. Godwin from public Hfe as the representative ia congress from thl. district. AM now lot ns see what the facta are. for an reaching conclusions peo ple should In all cases base their ac tion on truth aad farts, and not fic tion or campaign thunder. According to A. records end the records ere 'jhat I am going by. it has been through tha efforts of Congressman Godwin, a mints* by 8eaator**8tm snons and Overman, the Math pea gremioaal district secured snore na tional aad state appropriations dar ing ths flee year parted from 1P14 to 1*19 aad more rscogalastiea by the federal goeenuacat at Washington, than all the ether tea congressional districts ia the Stale of North Coro llas combined and tbs challenge is hereby thrown at any man's feet te dtepieve this sm.rtloe. Done this look like a do nothing coagroamsan has keen rrpreeewtteg the aucth congress ional district during sH these years? 1 don’t think as. aad I don't believe anybody etae thinks so after they know the facts. In other words what ether district la- tha stats can ap proach the records of ths “Bloody Sixth” ia this respect. Tha tern big gsveraaBcnt ship yards ia Wilmington, Comp Bragg and its euviroas at Fayetteville, together with the additional appropriations for As military camp at Fort Caswell during the world war, the new light ship. dredge heat, etc., at the month of the Cape Fsar. to my nothing of the appropriations for the new Cue tom ouse as WHmtegton, Poetoflleei at Fayetteville, Lambs rton sad eteo where ia tha district, appropriations for tha appsr and looser Cape Fear, turning Into the hundreds of thou sands, aad ethsr different appropria tub Mr. Godwin’* activities In Con put during the part.

Acknowledging that we art now suing through tho period of r traction that most inevitably follow n tha wake of all stars 1 for on# blah that the sixth congressional die ne t would commit a at no us blunder 0 asaka a change at thia stags of the m»o. ia her congressional repreoen .atiw. whereby a trained and tzpori escod coogrcuBun. familiar with ev jtj detail of national and interna tional legislation, would be retired, rad a new and inoxperienerd man aibatitutod in hia stead. It goes without tho saying that the sixth congressional district must some day make a change in its representa tive, but ia tho light of thr facta as given In tho foregoing, I believe tha thinking people in this district will igre* that the present it no time for swapping horses in mid stream. In other words, I contend that the pub lic should be the first consideration with all people, sad if this principle or idee Is adhered to, than Godwin will he retained for another term at least. It now remains for tha people to speak out and say whether they want ta hold fast to that which is good and uphold tho hands of a man who has accomplished results, and have them to (peak tor themselves, or listen to the sirea of ambitious po liticians in following untried man In a critical hour like tha present. Sure ly the. public weal would not sanction 1 change at thia time. Dann, K. C. J. C. CLIFFORD.

There arc many reasons whv ihe Southern farmer has been slow to take up the use of modern laborwev ing implements, but the chief reason Is that he has not had to do H, be cause he has always had an abund ance of labor at a cheap price. Ha has had perhaps twice as much labor as was necessary to produce the crops grown, had be introduced a cropping system or a *y»lem of fann ing which would distribute the labor on the farm as near equally as prac ticable throughout the year, and bad be used more power cud larger la bor-saving implements and machin ery. A large landowner, not living an his farms, was recently asked why hr did not use such cultivators for culti >• i a n : vwtlaa as would «nank 6 ucd la do twice ai much wo k a. -.th the old ono-horse tools. Hit first! “!y was tha old alarotypod one tha' ■Negroes cannot aaa these larger and triplicated implements.’* When I '»> proved to him by citing numer al* aunplci that Negroes Co aid be hown how to ust these Implements when the whit* man in charge knew tow and could actually show tram tow to operate the new implement*, t* gave the real reason why mors *f V.t has sot beea mads to teach the tee of lavor-aaviag tools. Ho said. 'Why go to all tlda trouble to teach > Negro how to operate toots with which bo can cahivato 40 acre* In rtaad of SOT I ewa get a family for every SO acres, as "I get mine Just the same.” This is also ths meat potent reason why lnhor is breaming mors eeagee »a Southern farms. Ths la borers, whether white er black, with their antiquated tools and methods, cuttl es ting a small acreage, cannot make anoagb—cannot produce enough— >ftor the landlord has “taken his” to induce them to remain on the farms, especially under present hous ing and living csnditoiru and tha lack of school facilities. If we are to retain sufficient labor on tha farms to cultivate uur lands with tha bast labor-saving Implements tha farm la borer must not only get more, but he cer more he cannot get enough to purchase those living conditions Dec tsssry to keep him on the farm. Of conrne, small, irregular Aside, open drainage end hillside ditches, gullies. brujdi, stunts, etr., and the life-long habit of taing small, ono horse implement* have played their part in keeping the Southern farm er from readily taking up the uae of labor-saving Implements; but the real causa is that he ham*t had to, be cause of the large supply of labor and ita ability to live on small pee capita production aad It* willingness to submit to a low standard of living. And now since tbs war ha* raised wages and standards of living and brought to the knowledge of all the higher earning* of the city laborers, that which has been the cause of tho farmers’ indifference to the use of implements is reacting on him, and unless ha adopts method* by whicr ihe farm laborer ran produce more —can earn more for himself—he la golag to continue to lose labor at an ■(aiming rate, until ha will no longor bo akla to "get his" by securing a hand for every 20 seres. When the laborer with proper equipment culti vates 40 acres instead of 20 and earns more for himself, the farmer will get as much as when he bad double the labor, but unless the farm laborer la enabled to earn mere—unless we mail* better farmed and more pro ductive laborers of (barn—they art not going to stay on the farm.—The Progressive Fanner. The policy of this Nation is to lead ths wot id industrially by compelling Che farmers to feed town nnd city people at a very !•* tost. Our plan to to dominate the world industrially by forcing the fanner to wear out his soil, toil (or long boars, work his wife end children and lh< on a very low plane. This policy has been car ried out for years, bat ths farmers are getting tired of it They ere or ganising and in the vary near future will demand the same treatment giv en other members of society- The Progressive Farmer Upholds Migratory-Bird Law Sportsmen who merit the title in the United States have been much In terested la the protection ot the mi rrmtory birds by the Federal govern ment. It has long been realised that the conflicting laws tmployod by the varioas States have worked havoc with our most valuable game end migratory birds, to ths migratory bird treaty and tbo Lacey Acts have had ths support of every nature lover la this country and in Canada. On April 19, 19(0, the Supreme Court of the United States rendered e decision upholding the constitution Uity of the treaty act. in a suit brought by the State of Missouri against a Federal game warden the Supreme Co art held that the Federal came lava ware enforceable la e state whom game laws conflicted with tho migratory-bird treaty act. The court defined the situation in hr following paragraph taken from he opinion: “Here a national iota rest of very nearly the fine magnitude is invelv. rd- It can be protected only by na tional action in concert with that of another power. The subject matter is only transitorily within the State and has no permanent habit therein. But for tha treaty and the statute there soon might be no birds for any pow ■rs to deal with. We see nothing in Ihe constitution that compels the gov ernment to sit by while a food supply is cut off and the protectors of out forests and our crops are destroyed. It ta not euiUcieni to rely upon the State*. The reliance ii vuia, ami were it otherwW the queatton U whether the United State* i* forbid den to act- We are of opinion that the treaty and utatute mutt b. up held.” U. 3.
