LM Fontgi UnttUni BepreaentatlTa AMERICAN PRESS ASSOCIATION Haw Toik at j Entered at tha Fntoaoi at Looiaborg, N. a aa aecoad Gov. Ehringhaus expresses himself interested in re pairing the County roads, as likewise did Chairman Waynick. Lets hope they will get to work at once and put them in shape for the winter. The war situation in Spain continues serious audi indications are it is only a matter of time before the gov-! ernment will be overthrown. During the past week United States ships and property has been threatened, with the resultant warnings from Washington. The possibilities of this leading into another big. general war are great, but it is hoped may be averted. THE SEEDS OF INFLATION The banks of the United States have more money on deposit than a't any previous time in banking history. Not even at Ulftheight of our financial prosperity, before the collars of 1929, did the 5,374 national banks hold within n 5' II ion and a quarter t:s many dollars as the $26,453,000,000 which the Comptroller of the Currency reported a couple of weeks ago. In addition, state banks and savings banks hold even more. The stupendous total of money in our banks runs to above 58 thousand million dollars. This is sufficient, some financial experts say, to permit banks safely to lend eight times as much, or much more than four hundred billion dollars. If that credit could be put to work, an immediate end could be made of any remaining vestiges of depression. Until it is lentand put to productive use, its net effect ia to increase prices of all commodities without increasing commodity production proportionately. We have, in short, reached a stage of credit infla tion where we have more money than we know what to do with. Beyond doubt this bank money and credit ought to be put to work. As to why it is not working opinions differ. The fact is that there is comparatively litUe-tk mandio&CJttdit. . fid. we have the curious, even amazing spectacle of a nation literally choked with riches and yet does net turn its t^oaey into productive channels. Nothing like that has ever occurred before. That the dam which is holding back the flow of credit will burst, sooner or later, is certain. When that happens, we may find ourselves in an era cheap money and high commodity prices such as Aiftfrica has never seen. The seeds of inflation are already in the strong-room of the biuVKT# EUROPE, AtESSON The greatest tragedy which could befall America would be tws development in this country of such na tional class and racial hatreds as have converted Europe into an armed camp and set the people of Spain to kill ing each other in a merciless and bloody civil war. ' America is not without its preachers of hate. Lately there have been public utterances by men whose position and responsibility should have restrained their tongues, calculated to inflame the minds of the thoughtless to hatred of groups of their fellow-citizens. To stir up hatred against those who differ in their religious creeds, their political beliefs op in their plagMs to start America on the road to civil strife which mfctit^well lead us' ad, it has led Europe, into warf Are. The real danger to American liberties is not from without but from within. The preachers of class hatred are more dangerous enemies of the Republic than is any foreign nation. It has been this country 's greatest sourde of ppde that no citizen belongs to any fixed class. Every man can, as millions have done, raise himself from the lowliest state of lifq to the highest. Nobody will try to stop him. Bather, if he has the ability to make some thing better of himself he will find encouragement and helping hands all along his upward climb. ;> To teaofe ttat all employer? are the enemies of their! employees is vicious and un-American. It is not true, as every, intelligent person knows. To teaeh-4hat the followers of any particular leUgfon are enemies of those yhose beliefs are different, is equally vioious and un American, Our nation wa? founded on -tolerance, on oi tKopght and pf ?dfgi,ou? belief.

J TCBQBlEi hN / WE'RE ONW ~ ' BCENONG IQ30 FIGURES MJO JONES IS AHEAD Of ^-9 / Courtny Cklraco D?Uj Tlmom ? FRANKLIN COUNTY ? ? FARM ITEMS ? ? By W. C. Boyce, Assistant * ? County Agent ? ? ??**?????* Hydraulic Ram Mr. H. M. Ellis, Agricultural Engineer of State College, milt ed me this week in atudylng the situation at the (arm ol Mr. Q. S. Leonard to determine the advisa bility of Installing a hydraulic ram to supply water for his homestead and livestock. It was determined that a hydraulic ram installed would deliver to a recep tive tank at his homestead ap proximately 1200 gallons of wa ter dally. He used 1S00 gallons daily. As he would have to con tinue pumping water with a gaso line pump and as the hydraulic ram would be very expensive to install due to about 840 feet of piping, plus a dam to give the drive water sufficient fall, it was. decided that installation of a hy draulic ram at this time was not advisable. Compliance Reports Field supervisors hare been at work for two weeks checking .compliance of farmf four payments unoar the culingg'af t&g Soil Con servation and Domeattr Allotment Act. It was found bp checking these compliances in the office that many farmers could greatly increase the benefits to be receiv ed by planting a small additional quantity of conserving crops on idle land. ?" Farmers having insufficient conservative acreage to receive the maximum benefits ware re commended to plant immediately the necessary additional acreage In clover, Austrian winter peas, vetch or a mixture of these le gumes with small grains, such as barley or oats on idle land. It was further noted that only about 10% of the farmers were complying for the Class' II. Roll -Building payments. Early plant-) ings of crimson clover have been reported by farmers who are de siring to cooperate and receive this payment. Timber Estimating Demonstration A timber estimating demon stration will be held on Wednes day. September ?, on the farm of O. H. Harris, near Louisbnrg. Farmers interested in learning methods of estimating lumber: and determining the correct agej for marking lumber are invited to meet at Oupton's Lag Cabin! Filling Station at 9:30 A. M. Mr. R. W. Graeber, State For ester, or his assistant, Mr. Page will be with us to assist in this demonstration. ,From Ingleside * The recent absence of three weeks In Norfolk of your corres pondent may account for "no news" in this column during that time. If there is any significance in connection with the successive visits to the. Jew places of inter est mentioned here, there was no thought of It at the time: A fun eral home, a cemetery, the mau soleum and the Ford plant. At the funeral home I was shown a $2,000 copper, silver plated casket. There are 816 crypts in the mausoleum, but on ly about SOO contained bodies. When the caretaker was asked how he liked that mode of bury ing the dead, he said that ' hla mother was put in the ground and he wished to be Interred that way. The Ford plant bad a hand made Lincoln car, with no com parison. H--waa priced at flfty two hundred .dollars. About that7 tftae eighteen per sons were fatally injured In the State of Virginia, the toll of vio lent deaths Ming recorded within a period of three days. Of this number there were two drownings All of the others died from au tomobile wreaks. Ingleside families, business houses and other nearby residents are now enjoying the benefits and conveniences of the excellent lighting system of the Carolina Power and Light Co. The lights were turned on last week, and those who have them are well pleased with the service. If elec tricity is noti man's greatest ser vant, It see ma Aestlned to be In a short time. Hard tasks that once were done by, hand, are now done swiftly, easily and cheaply with electric appliances. A snap of the switch brings light. Electric refrigerators, ranges, radios, sew ing machines, cleaning apparatus, "Sir-conditioning equipment, are boons that are within the reach of many cltlsens today, and give them a standard of living that conldn't be had not so many years back. ?
