Yesterday we published Chairman Piitchard's open letter "to the peo ple of i North Carolina."

They have just arrested a couple of Americans who were in troducing a new industry and teach ing some of their people how to' make "moonshine'' whiskey. In some of the provinces in China the people are revolting against high ,w taxes. This shows that there is a good deal of human nature in the average Chinaman. People are not fond of paying taxes anywhere. In this country although we haven't reached the revolting point, we do a good deal of lodging and kicking when we can't dodge.
