| CHARGE IT.
i
-1,-. iiolland in Progressive Farmer.
A lady whose husband has a mod
erate income stood in a department
store. When the dress was brought
she said, “charge it.”
A young husband stood in a gar
age ready to sign the contract for a
car that he could not get along well
without. He mortgaged his home for
the first payment, and arranged the
remainder on the instalment plan,
paying about 16 per cent for his
money. “Charge it.”
A city wanted some improvements
to meet the pace set by another city
which went into debt. They issued
bonds for 50 years for the improve-
I ments, so that their grand children
will finish paying for the improve
ments long after they are out of date
or wprn out. “Charge it.”
A farmer was geting along very
well, but wanted some new buddings.

DTD you know that
George Washington,
The adopted Father of our
; Country, just before he got
I on the Ferry to cross the
Delaware for the Photo
graphing of that now fa
mous Picture, Did you know
that he smoked two sacks
of ‘Bull’ Durham while he
was waiting for the Ferry?
(things were just as late in
his War, as they were in our
last one). Now I have never
heard of this ‘Bulk Durham
episode before, neither have
I ever heard it denied. So if
it’s never either been affirm
ed or denied, there is no rea
son to disbelieve that it’s
not true. ‘Bulk Durham
originated in Virginia, and
Washington »lived in Vir
ginia, and he was a great
man to patronize home in
dustries. And as Washing
ton was the best man of his
day, and Durham the best
tobacco of its day, there is
no plausible reason to doubt
that these two most excel
lent Institutions didn't read
ily recognize the good in
each other and get together.
SiXTY-FJVE YEARS AGO!
In 1860 a blend of to
bacco was born—‘Bull’
Durham. On quality
alone it has won recog
nition wherever tobac
co 4s known. It still
offers the public this —
more flavor, more en
joyment and a lof more
money left at the end
of a week’s smoking.

He got the buildings and said
“Charge it.
A group of world-wide nations
started out over half a century ago' !
in commercial rivalries. Finally a dis
-1 pute arose, and they brought on a war
which is called “The World War.”
Ten million boys and men were slain.
Those nations bonded the next two
centuries by their folly. “Charge it.”
A young man wanted more pleas
ures than legitmately come in the av
erage happy life, so he filled his stom
ach with moonshine, climbed into a
half-paid-for car, got a dame of the
super-lip-stick variety, and speeded
nature beyond her limits of safety.
He said to his constitution, “Charge
it.” |
What happened? The husband of
the lady in the department store got
tired of being in debt for foolish
ness, laid down the law, and his wife
left him.
The young husband lost his home
which he mortgaged, and became a
Bolshevic because of his foolish
debts.
The city wanted other improve
ments more necessary than those
which they had gone into debt for,
and so the life of the city had to lag I
behind .her sister cities, while she
paid her debts.
The farmer was compelled to sell
his farm at a sacrifice to satisfy the
mortgage. He is now in the city as a
common laborer in a garage.
The nations that went into debt for 1
folly will burden the great grand chil
dren of the present generation of ba
bies in trying to repay the war money
lenders. . j
The young fellow who charged his
debauchery to his consitution, lost out
in the race for life, and died of pare- j
sis brought on by unnamable disease. :
A little Book which I often tuck
under my pillow at night says this,
“Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
he also reap.” We may “Charge it,”
and seemingly get by for awhile, but
PAY DAY always comes.
Often the calamities that come up- (
on us are the “Pay Days” of God
when we settle for the things we fool
ishly “charged.”
Debt for necessities is often wise, :
but debt for vanities and follies and
sins, brings on a “Pay Day”> J.hat
makes man tremble.

*" * *“*”*“* “*“*"*"*"*
A Protestant denomination has ap
proved plans for the erection of a
20-story church at Jacksonville, Fla.
The first three stories will be used
for the church proper, as also the
basement. The remainder of the
building will be occupied by business
tenants y using the upper stsories for
offices of various and sundry pur
poses. The church will cost one mil
j lion dollars and is the first of its kind
to be built in the whole world Plans
have been received from the archi
tect and adopted and a contract for
the work will be let in a few days.
This proposition may be a good one,
but- it is doubted. The precedent will
certainly not operate to any advant
age for the churches. The tendency to
unite the church w 7 ith worldly alle
giance is too prevalent as it is and
we do net believe the 20-story Flor
ida church will maintain itself very
long.
The Credit Corporation may be a
good thing for the farmers if North
Carolina or any other state for that
j matter, but we do not see it that way.
! In the long run it will operate against
them. It is very nice to be able to
borrow money at the beginning of the
crop year, pay cash for fertilizer and
! have running expense on hand but the j
farmer will readily spend more than !
he otherwise would, had he not got
ten the money before hand. It is vir- ,
i tually the same as a “time” pronosi- |
tion so lorgely used bv many of the |
farmers in some of the counties in
North Carolina. We note by tbe ]
papers that more than one million,
. eignt hundred thousand dollars have i
; already been loaned to farmer mem
bers of the tobacco and cotton asso- j
I ’r> NT-- 'l' f’"-' --‘’i |
the N. C. Credit Corporation- at Ral
| eigh. On Tuesday of last week —one
! day only—a new record was set when
more than one hundred and thirty
five thousand dollars were scattered
throughout the cotton and tobacco
sections of the state.
It is true this money comes from
the Federal Loan Bank at Columbia, 1
S. C., and places money in North
l Carolina that otherwise would not
reach us, but there are many more
ways for the farmers to secure finan
cial assistance that would prove of
more material benefit. Credit is a
bad business for everyone, whether
he be farmer, merchant or business
man, and the more cramped and indi
vidual is the more he will produce
and the more he will economize. The
report coming out of Raleigh states
that many of those who borrowed
during 1924 failed to “pay out” and
new loans to these farmers are being
held up. If they failed in ,1924 to pay
out, it stands to reason that they will
fail further during 1925 and in a few
years the farming sections will be
much the worse for the accommoda
tion that was intended for a benefit.
A report being circulated by the
Industrial News Bureau, states that
a recent summary of a list of Federal
and Joint Stock banks discloses the
fact that foreclosures and losses are
rapidly increasing. In the first seven
years of their existence, the banks
began foreclosure proceedings on
2,910 farms and acquired 852 farms,
of which they sold 128, making net
1 gain on farms sold of $27,065.38. In
j 1924 foreclosure proceedings on 2,226
farms were made, according to the
statement and 443 farms were ac
quired. They sold 118 at a net loss
of $28,731.54, thus consuming profits
made on foreclosing farms during
first seven years, in addition to a
further loss.
Then, if the farmers cannot make
good through these Joint Land Banks
with a privilege of small annual pay
ments, and 33 years to pay it, how
could they be expected to make good
on a loan secured by crops to be
be made during the curent year?
Last week, The Record carried a
news item in its columns about an or
der by the Parent-Teacher Association
of Raleigh requiring the girls of the
schools to cease the use of lip sticks,
powder, rouge, and the wearing of 1
silk stockings. We note by the daily
papers that the girls have given- a
rejoinder that it will be “silk stock
ings or none at all.” It does seem
that the regulation of the habits of
the youth have been relegated to the
dictate of organizations, the schools,
churches, etc., and taken entirely out
of the hands of the fathers aiwi moth
ers; or has it been so neglected by the
parents that these societies and or
ganizations, composed of right think
ing people, see the necessity of ac
tion? We have no quarel with any
girl for wanting to dress in silk,, even
stockings, if they can be afforded, but
our contention is that parental .au
thority should be more strongly exer
cised. It is an easy matter for the
girl? to be dressed' properly and de-
corously if the parents so order, and \
it is the general opinion that a school
girl does not need to be so *‘ dressed i
up” any more than a business woman.
It makes* it expensive ,to even at
tempt to follow the styles. The use cf
mascara, lashline and like prepara
rations is certainly not the very best
treatment for the eyes and skin of

When the Carolina Coal Company, for instance, started

money has been for years employing hands, producing

from the ground, scattering money among its hands who
