Our owri idea is that farm income will be increased in 1935 but,
even if we are wrong, that's no reason for , farmer. letting bis sub

If the people of the United States let Congressional blocs run

Our own experience is that the man who gets a public Salary,
regularly, has little sympathy'1 with the little business man who has
to pay his expenses and then live if he has anything left to live upon.
Even a newspaper man likes to' hear somebody compliment
what his Journal prints but he knows, from sad experience, that people
never read anything except the mistakes. - - ' J ' " j.

CHANGE SYSTEM OF CONTROL - . : ;..
The control of money by the few and the despoliation of the
many by this system is the chief cause of poverty and the great wave
of crime. And if the system is not changed our present civilization
is doomed. R. G. Maxwell. . - ,,
' TEN CENT COTTON
J
' I In February issue of The Duplin Times this sentence was left
out of a paragraph: In a short time cotton .was below ten cents per
pound and' wheat below one dollar per bushel." The paragraph should
' be as follows: In May 1920 the big banks said to their member, and
mailer banks "Call in your loans and restrict your agricultural cred
its". Under this order money and credits were contracted about three
and one half billion dollars. At this time cotton was around forty-
.cents per pound and wheat about three dollars, per bushel. In a short
time cotton was below ten cents per pound and wheat below one doi
lar per bushel .- Contraction did it R. G. Maxwell.
HERE'S THE QUESTION: YOU ANSWER THEM .....
A few questions to be answered by some one who knows, Where
did our volume of money come fromT It is the product of a system
that was framed by divine wisdom and let down from on high and
therefore perfect and cannot be Improved by human beings, or did
it originate out of the necessity of exchange of goods and baa develop
ed to its. present condition along" the lines most profitable to ,those
who dea in money and have been shrewd enough to secure legislation
in their own favor till we have a money power international, in scope
and all powerful in its control of labor and its products.,,, Are we not
trying to handle a highly mechanized civilization with a selfish nar
row monetary system that is wholly unfitted for bur present economic
needs ? R. G. Maxwell.
THE ASYLUM VS. SCHOOLS
Having listened tonight (February 27) to Carl Goerch's report
of the doings of the Legislature, and he being moved at the reports
of the conditions at Dix Hill and Morganton, was constrained to use a
' little profanity. I, too, thought more profanity than he expressed.
. He said it were.better to leave the roads off and even the free schools
than to have such neglect and inefficiency in these institutions. Ac
cording to Mr. Ooerch, and be is right,; the thing, needed is more
money. Where is it to come from? The taxpayers are over-burdened
with taxes. Many farmers have lost and many others will lose their
'' homes on the account of high taxes and low priced farm produce. How
can we maintain, an institution without more money t, Is it not plain
, that our total volume of money is insufficient to do the things which
are necessary to be done in a well regulated or well governed society
or State? If our United States Senators and Congressmen would join
-with that group in Congress who are urging free coinage of Silver or
even better an issue of, legal tender paper money1 to be put in circula
tlon direct by the government for services rendered or supplies' furnishe
s ed there might be a sufficient amount of money to run all institutions
on a decent basis. B. G. Maxwell. ,':, .

FIRST ALWAYS THE TRUTH
To the school children of Duplin County- we address " this
' ,word: ;
vis:?J,'tt'you' have become convinced that you know the truth about
, anything, stick to it.v:M?";'rfej-i
. Maybe, your relatives and friends will laugh at you. Maybe,
not It doesn't make much difference unless you let them get your
goat All great things have come from the courageous struggle of brave
souls in the face of derision, and discouragement
' - The world talks very glibly about wanting the truth, f when
oftimes, it is the last thing that people want to know. However, make
. up your minds to serve the truth always, seeking it out at all times
and following it wherever it may lead you. Hold fast to your faith in
yourself and tie-up with the light that comes to your soul. .

' THE ANSWER "NOTHING" "
.' What is the effect of the gold clause - decision of the United
. States Supreme Court upon the people" of Duplin County?s ' ir
i ' The answer is: "Practical y Nothing."
. ' What is its effect upon those who loaned the government money
during the World War, taking for the cash the bonds of the govern
ment? '..v"v.;,;, vv;
. The answer is that the bond holders will be paid in dollars, each
of which will buy twice as much as when the money was loaned the

Among the recent inventions list
ed is , one that an" tell1 when two
people are in love. We never

A statement is made that in the
future there will be no stenograph
ers. Machines will be Invented
which will . transcricbe - spoken
words into printed words. We know
science has and will continue to
do wonderful tihngs. But there are
numbers of words in the English
language which are pronounced ex
actly the same, but which can be
spelled difflrently and have differ
ent meanings. : For example, heir
and air, read and red, . pan- and
pare, bel land belle ,and so on. How
in the name of common sense are
they going to invent a machine
with human reasoning powers and
be .. able : to distinguish! between
words ' pronounced ' exactly the
same with different meanings. Are
you going to 'believe . any such
thing? , - . v i
" Astronautics is a new science
that deals with the problem of fly
ing from the earth to the moon, or
even Mars. . The students of this
science are devoting their atten
tion to rockets. The most promi
nent organization in this field be
ing the American Rocket Society.
They claim that before long It will
be possible to shoot mail and ex
press across the Atlantic. It is es
Umated that a rocket could carry
mail from New York to Chicago in
20 minutes and across the ocean in
two hours. Tls said that these stu-
dents of astronautics are working
eulltv. avoiding' npnnntlrmal TihllJ
iclty whenever possible ,are exper
imenting with different kinds of
feuls, etc. They' re hard-headed
and determined and are not saying
much about visiting the moon Just
yet, nut who knows that before the
world may be startled by some
great rocket feat.
