THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY “The Home-Printed Paper” Formerly The Roanoke Rapids Herald CARROLL WILSON, Publisher and Editor Entered as Second Class matter April 3rd, 1914, at the Postoffice at Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, under Act of March 3rd, 1879. PRINTERS, LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS The plight of the farmer in Northampton and Halifax counties is shown in a survey of crop renditions as made by the Roanoke-Chowan Times. Heavy rains fcr over a month are respon sible for the note of pessimism. July was ushered in with crops throughout the Roanoke Chowan section below normal con- j dition. and in a large portion of the territory very discouraging conditions exist. For fifty days there have been excessive rains in most of this territory as well as in several of the other Northeastern counties. In a large part of Northampton crops are fairly good. The condition of corn is the poorest, but little has been planted. Much cotton has been abandoned, a larger per cent than m many years. Tobacco has suffered greatly from the ex cessive rains. Many farmers are saying this is the wettest year we have had since 1S89, forty years ago. With all the rain the prospects for hay i very poor. There has been so much rain the land for the hay crop could not be prepared and seeded. The rains have helped the highland pastures and they are much better than ususal. Tho> having cattle, hogs and sheep on pastures fared better than those without them. Some farmers claim that it pays to put some of the bc-t land in pastures. The Roanoke River lands on the Northampton side have not suffered so much from the rains anj some good crops can be found. On the Halifax side the crops did not suffer much the early part of the season, but now they show much damage. This is especially true between Scotland Neck and Palmyra, as seen from the public road. In a recent issue o£ a somewhat popular week ly magazine, popular enough to sell more than two million weekly, we read an article by Ida Tarbell. female writer, biographer of Lincoln, in which she draws an analogy of the conditions in our coun try just prior to the Civil War and today. Slav ery, then. Prohibition, today. She sums her ar ticle up with the declaration that the same emo tional fervor is being worked on both sides on fhe prohibition question today as was on the slav ery question in '60. She says prohibition might lead to another civil war. We smiled at that. Un til we read the papers this week. Clarence True Wilson wishes to call out the Marines to enforce the 18th amendment. They were called out to put a stop to mail robberies, he says, now quarter them in every town with orders to shoot to kill prohi violators, if necessary. Could it be that Ida is right? For Clarence would also put down State "rebellions." lie is speaking now of those states where there is the desire to operate as they see fit for their own particular needs. The old question of State Rights The battle cry of Democracy. Except that all states now wanting Stab - Rights as n gards 1 q . r are Republican states. New York. New Jersey. Mary land, Wisconsin, .Montana. Mr. W ilson says these "have voluntarily taken them.-elvis out of the I'nion.” War. Is it possible fret, y and fever and hate and malice and intolerance may be worked up by both sides to the point where civil war is a possibility? Another angle. IV Priest. Negro Congress man, says the nation is spending millions of dol lar; every year to enforce the JSth amendment. He will demand that it spend a like amount to en force the 1 1th and 13th amendments in the South Will he also ask that .Marines be quartered in Sou. them homes to enforce thesp amendments at the point of the bayonetWhere is all of this go ing to lead our nation? Are any set of laws more important than the integrity, unity and well be ing of the nation? Would either side wreck the nation to gain a point. Another magazine, in an open letter to the Law Enforcenment Commission, say- the Presi dent has no right to berate the people because they do not obey laws which a great mass of the people lie'i ve obnoxious. This magazine says the law and the lawmaker is at fault when there is such widespread disapproval, not the people. We do not know the solution. It is admitted by both side- that lawlessness and also disregard for certain laws are universal. Each lay the blame on the other. Who is right? Who is capable of judging? The President, the Enforcement Commission, all who are striving to solve this great national problem in a -ane, calm, sensible, and American manner .have our support. Officials who are serving the public well should be given a word of praise. Just as much as those who are delinquent should receive censure. Pub lic office, whether elective or appointive, is1 a trust. We know the attitude of a certain official in another State. Here it is in his own words. “I bought and paid for this office and I am going to run it to suit myself. It's mine for four years to do as I please with.” Fine business. But what we had in mind was a word of praise for a Halifax county officer, about whom we have heard much good from all parts of the county. We speak of G. A. Hawkins, County Ac countant and Auditor. There is a man, we hear them say, who tends to his own business and attends to it properly. He never loses his head, never gets embroiled In petty quarrels, never "plays politics,” but does his work in a quiet, efficient and praiseworthy have you 'j$: : jm?: been through • - •. . > «y,v•«!.• - • the Rainbow? Nowadays it seems to the average motorist that there is a different colored gasoline at every gas tank ho draws up to. If you have tried these gasolines — if you have been “through the rainbow'1 — we ask you to do two things. First, note that the new “Stand ard'’ Improved Gasoline is not colored. Second, try this gasoline and compare the results with any other gasoline at regular prices you have ever used in your car regard less of color or claims. Compare it fo«r power, mileage and nnti-knoek qualities. Thousands of motorists have al ready made this comparison. The result is that more than twice as much “Standard” Improved Gasoline is now used as the near* eat competing brand! An oil company with the great est facilities for producing a finer gasoline is back of “Stand ard ’ ’ Improved Gasoline—in buck of it 100^ Remember, it's performance in the motor that sells gasoline!
