:f THE HERALD Of The Twin Cities ROANOKE RAPIDS—ROSEMARY CARROLL WILSON', Publisher and Editor Entered as Second Class matter April 3rd, 1914. at the Postoffice at Roanoke Rapids, North Carolina, under Act »f March 3rd, 1ST9. PRINTERS, LITHOGRAPHERS, ENGRAVERS A LUCKY COMMUNITY We have been asked the question frequently of late as to just what has happened to the plans for the “greater city” and the much needed im provements in this community. Those who kept up with the publicity given the matter by this newspaper will recall that it is just a question of marking time until the Legis lature meets in January. When all this started, it was 18 months until the Legislature would again meet. That seemed like an eternity then. But time passes so quickly and now it is only six months until the next ses sion, unless, of course, a special session be called. Just as soon as the General Assembly con venes, a bill will be presented and forces from ev ery part of the State have given their approval bo it will probably be just a matter of routine to pass the act necessary to give us the kind of com munity we deserve and should have. tl will only be the “luck” of the towns if we pass thru this hot summer without epidemic or terious illness. We seem to be making good pro gress at it so far and we can only hope our luck holds out for a few more weeks. OUR FORTUNATE FARMERS The farmers of Halifax and Northampton Counties have much to be thankful for. It would 6eem the weather played into their hands, while being less gracious to farmers of nearby states. The long hot spell here, good cotton weather, they say, was finally broken by thundershowers at least twice, while other states remain dry and parched with a lingering drouth. Those farmers around here who listened to pleas of county and state farm authorities and planted less cotton and more corn and tobacco will have every reason to congratulate them selves. From the Valley of Virginia comes the report that the corn crop has dried up and blown away. From that same section and also from the burley tobacco fields of Kentucky comes the news that tobacco has wilted away under a merciless sun. Forecasts are for high prices in both these fields. Similar news comes from the rich agricul tural sections of the Mississippi River valley and the middle West where the worst drouth in years continues unabated. Crops in these parts look mighty good. Of course, there is still plenty of weevil talk but cot ton looks better than it did last year, while corn and tobacco will be bumper crops unless some thing unforseen occurs. There is talk of 12 cent cotton. We hope it is just talk, but it will not make as much difference to the farmer who has been wise enough to plant plenty of corn, tobacco, peas, sweet potatoes, and other varieties which, from every indication, will command handsome prices this Fall. We are for the farmer tooth and toe nail, but about all we can do is stand on the sidelines and cheer him on in his game against weather and weevil. Seems like he is about the only man who can really help himself after all. Some of them surely did that this year when they put cotton acreage in corn and tobacco. YOUNG “BUSINESS” MEN Prohibition has brought forth the gangster and racketeer in the big cities, men and women belong ing to massive organizations whose business it is to serve the countless millions who are willing to pay the price for illegal liquors. The heads of these organizations live in wealth and luxury. They and their followers feel they are entitled to it because theirs is a danger ous business. Dangerous not from the standpoint of law enforcement, but dangerous because of the keen competition in a most lucrative field. Investigators tel! from time to time of the power wielded by these organizations. City gov ernments, State officials, business and profess ional men, civic leaders, yes, even social leaders, find themselves controlled, bought or silenced. Re cently, one of the largest cities where gangdom flourished has endeavored to throw off the yoke. But Chicago leaders find themselves balked at every turn and fighting an enemy which rarely shows its head in the same spot twice. As fast as one leader or one gang is destroyed a half doz en vie for the vacant place. Many of these new “leaders” of our civic life cannot stand prosperity and power. It makes them arrogant and despicable. They begin to be lieve they are invincible. It is then that the av erage citizen becomes incensed and wrathful, the same average citizen responsible for this new specie of civic flora. To a lesser degree, the small towns and rural sections are facing the same problem as the larg est cities. There has sprung up around the out skirts and at the cross-roads of the small towns a class of business men, who work all hours, drive speedy and often high-priced cars, and apparently have plenty of ready cash at all times. For a while, this young business man, most of them are young, will ply his trade quietly and unobtrusive ly. He never causes the officers nor his fellow ciitzens any trouble. He is an earnest, conscien L1VJUO piyei UL Ills v I itUc. The day comes when he has more money than he ever had before. It is easy to get, therefore easy to spend. He gathers about him a group of “yes-men” and women, who are all for him while he spends the money. He begins to get exagger rated ideas of himself. He has fooled the law so much it becomes a joke with him. He begins to step on the gas in more ways than one. His car now hogs the road. He thumbs his nose at the of ficers. He becomes a snob in that he figures he is just as good as anybody else, because he prob ably hase more ready cash than most of the "blue bloods.” He rapidly becomes a nuisance, a pest, and then a menace to society. Of course, for his kind, there is always a day of reckoning. Usually, it takes a few bullets, perhaps bloodshed, before he is/ put in his place. When that day comes, he has none to blame but himself—unless he wants to blame his customers,” which is bad business for the future; or Prohibition—which the wise young “business man” does not do, he being one of its most ardent supporters. For is it not the goose that lays the golden egg for him and his kind? TEACH BOYS POWER USE -'tore extended instruction in the handling of machinery, and particularly in the use of elec tricity, is advocated for farm boys by the Federal Board for Vocational Education, according to the Southern Regional agent. He declares that electricity is rapidly be coming used to a greater extent on farms^ par ticularly in the South and in other sections where waterpower is available. For this reason he urges the necessity for requiring vocational agricultur al teachers to study the operation of electrical equipment, so that they may teach the boys under their charge how to employ it in practical farm ing. The farmer of the future must have a certain amount of mechanical knowledge, hence the farm the practical operation of power-opjerate^ mu the practical operation of power-operated machin chinery.
