Bible Thought For The Day
★
SPEAK NO IDLE WORD:—But I
say unto you. that every idle word that
liitn shah .speak, they shall give account
there »f. —Matthew 12 :BG.
THEY ARE ALL GITL.TY.
Judge Harding, presiding recently at
a term of Me, klcuburg County Superior
Court, pointed out very specifically that
in tiie eyes of the law the man who buys
and drinks liquor is as guilty as the man
who makes and sells it. They are all
guilty. Judge Harding pointed out. and
he acted according to this interpretation
when liqnoi^cases came before him.
The decision of Judge Harding was
announced after Charlotte Church work
ers appeared ilrhourt td present ;i plea
of mercy lu the eas ! e of a couvicttjd boot
legger. As Judge Harding will preside
in this county within several months, it
is interesting'ho get his views on this
matter. As quoted in the Charlotte Ob
server. Judge Harding said:
“The' man who drinks whiskey and
the man who buys whiskey are just as
guilty in the eyes of the law as is the
man who makes it. With the amendment
of the liquor laws of the State, all dis
tinction between the charges brought
against the distiller and the drinker was
wiped out.
"W»- prohibitionists have now readied
the cud toward which we have been striv
ing. We have at last come out boldly
and decreed that there shall hi* uo drink
ing. We don't care how -much whiskey
is made nor how much is sold if no one
drinks it.
“The man who is sincerely repentant
and who intends to do the right thing
will come into court and tell the name of
the person from whom he obtained the
whiskey, aiding the officers in catching
him.”
.MELLON AND TAXES.
Secretary of the Treasury .Mellon is
talking now of tax reductions and it the
average citizen didn't know from other
reasons this tax-reduction- talk is evidence
enough to remind him that another elec
tion is close at hand, for as The Char
lotte Observer says “whenever the 4,Ad
ministration at Washington. Democratic
or Republican, begins to talk of reducing
taxes, it is a sure sign that a political
campaign is just ahead.” .
Mr. Mellon knows that this ‘‘tax-reduc
tion' bug-a-boo is the best little vote get
ter in the world and he intends to work
it oyer time.N There have always been
promises of reductions in taxes, yet the
average man never feels lie result but
still believes all lie hears about them aud
is influenced in his voting. Mr. Mellon
knows this and is laying his plans onw
to help the Republicans in the next gen
eral election.
Mr. Mellon plans to reduce the income
from taxes about $3*28,000,000 but lie
has |jot yet decided how this will be done
for Congress must decide that. There
are several ways. the The Observer
points out. “This could. j>e effected by
a shaving down of taxation on earned
incomes, on personal incomes aud on sur
taxes * * * a would all amount to
the same thing in the end. for they are
always pussyfooting around one eireum-
stance."
There is going to be uo real tax reduc
tion. If taxes are cut one place they
will be added at another. It is just tak
ing money from one pocket and putting
it in another, for if taxes are cut the
deficiency bill will provide for any short
age created by the reduction.
The bonus plays an important part in
the scheme of Mr. Mellon. The Treasury
Secretary has always been opposed to
granting the bonus, for it is planned to
make such wealthy men as he pay for
!. And amv he iV trying to line up ev
ery one* who pays an income tax.
Mr. Mellon says the tax reduction
should be made, but if it is. there can be
no bonus, tor the tax is Uie o®ly logical
manner by which the money could be
raised. There s his plan in a nutshell.
He hopes to reach t-uough people with his
tax reduction plan to kill the bonus. In
other words he hopes hts plan to reduce
income aud surtaxes will appeal to so
many people that r uV. 'ill sght the
bonus with all their influence. And this
tax reduction plan would benefit more
than any others, the very men aud cor
porations who are best able to pay the
taxes for the bonus.
The tax reduction plan would be of
little aid to the men who served in the
army during the war. There are very
few of them making/enough to pay much
income or surtax, and the reduction
would mean practically nothing to them.
But it would mean much to Mr. Mellon
and his associates. They made huge
sums during the war and they don't want
to pay taxes on it or the profits they are
making now from their war profits.
The plan of Mr. Mellon is not terrain
of passage by Congress, however. There
are many persons in Congress now who
differ with the Secretary and The Obser
ver points out that “instead of a prac
tical elimination of the surtax, the Pro
gressives may insist upon an even higher
rate as an appropriate contribution from
the wealthy. Secretary Melon argues
that* reduction of the surtax will not
menu a reduction in revenues, for the
temptation to invest in tax-exempt secur
ities will be removed to a ljtrge extent,
and that form of investment will be less
in demand. Argument of that sort must
be accepted as an admittedly weak one.
The Progressives will couute/ with de
mand that’ all tax-exempt securities be
abolished.
The Secretary has a fine plan for the
Republican party a-nd the wealthy men.
but what does it mean to the average cit
izen? That's the real point.
LEARNING FROM EXPERIENCE.
R. I). Goodman, county farm agent,
declares it is most important that farm
ers should complete their cotton picking
as early as possible so they can break up
their cotton lands. Mr. Goodman deliv
ered the same warning last yea,r. but at
that time Jie was not heard by as many
men as haVe this year taken bis advice.
There is'a reason for the increased in
terest in Mr. Goodman's warning. The
farmer*- are learning front experience
that it is best to fight the boll veevilr
with every agency at their command alid
they are doing everything possible to
check its spread. And tlinebreaking up
of the cotton land is important in the
campaign against the weevil. If the
stalks are left standing all wintef they
offer splendid winter qnarors for the
weevils that will swoop down on the
fields next year with the thousands of
young that would be hatched out during
the winter months.
And -the early breaking up of the cot
ton fields gives tlje farmer a start next
Spring. It will be easier to work the
field that was plowed this fall with a
tractor or heavy horse-drawn implement.
Just what the weevil is going to do
in this county in the future is still a
problem. In some sections of the county
tlie insect did great damage this, year
In others it did little damage. But
there is no question about its presence
or the destruction it wrought. It has to
be fought or cotton abandonedl
There were many counties in North
Carolina that report ej| little damage
from the weevil for there the insect was
scientifically fought. In South Carolina
the same situation was found. These
were counties that normally would have
been full of the weevils, for they were
active in them last year. But its activi
ty was cheeked this year because tire
farmers went to some expense and trou
ble to tight it and results were obtained,
slff jhm lis :t4yit\var*mfwypshrlUuetnoinn
The farmers foud it a paying investment
to purchase dusting machines and poison
and in some quarters as much cotton was
raised as in normal times, or in years
before the weevil reached North and
South Carolina.
TIIE RED URfKSS.
Cabarrus County people this week will
have an opportunity to subscribe- again
to the American Red Cross, the greatest
relief agency in the world today. The
annual Roll Call in this county will be
made on Friday and Saturday of this
week and as usual the membership will
be SI.OO. There should be some way to
get every man and woman in the county
interested enough in this great organiza
tion to make them contribute at least
SI.OO for its maintenance.
The Red Cross was great during the
war. There are none who will deny this.
And yet great as the organization was
then, it is even greater in the time of
peace. It was easy to do heroic work
when everyone and everything else was
doing likewise, but it takes sterner stuff
to keep up the hem.role now. Yet the
Red Cross is doing just that. It is
spending more now than it spent during
the war, and certainly is doing just as
great a service.
During the past year tbdre were IK
catastrophes in the United States.and in
each instance the Red Cross was first tc
offer aid. In addition there was the great
eonflitgratteu in .Japan, and the Rod
Cross was not only the tirst agency there,
but it spent more, than $10,000,000 to aid
those stricken people in their efforts to
get started again. When Berkley. Cal.,
was visited by a disastrous tire, it was
the Rod Cross that lirst offered uid.
So it is in practically every emergency.
The organization is “carrying on now
with the same speed and kindness that
.marked it's work during the world war
and it deserves a dollar from every per
son in the United States. Cabarrus
should subscribe 100 per cent.

PENALTIES FOK “DRUNKS.”
We see by- newspaper accounts, that
a Brooklyn magistrate has received an
idea from the poet who wanted the .pow
er to “see ourselves as others see us."
and the magistrate is - puttiug the idea
into practice now. The poet probably
I was not thinking of the prohibition laws
1 wfae* sought this power, but his slug*
gestion is helping with the enforcement
of the dry laws now.
The story says that a “drunk” was re- 1
eently carried before the magistrate. The j
prisoner at the bar had evidently had j
the worst of liis encounter with John 1
Barleycorn for he had a battered nose j
and various other disfigurements. In- j
stead of fining him. tlie magistrate sen
tenced him to have hifTphotograph taken
in liis drunken condition, and to study
the photograph himself and show it to
liis friends daily.
The Montgomery Advertiser would ex
tend this idea to having a phonograph
record made of the utterances of the in
toxicated one. and have this record “play
ed” regularly for a period of time at the
home of the driukee. Some such plan
might prove more effective in making the
country dry than the ordinary system of
tines and days in jail. Then too, these
photographs and records might prove val
uable historical data for future genera
tions when discussing the Alcoltol Ago of
man.
THE DEVELOPMENT OF’ CHIMNEY
ROCK.
The company that has secured the
lease on the Chimney Rock Land with the
announced intention of putting on there
a big development program, seems to have
gone about the matter in the right way.
They have organized a $12,500,000 com
pany and the size of the company indi
cates that the .work .will be planned and
carried out on a large scale. The Chim
ney Rock section is already one of the
most famous aud popular in Western
North Carolina, but it offers still further
chances for development, and the new
company plans to make it one of the most
famous spots in the country. A huge
lake is to be built, and two modem and
handsome hotels are to be erected on the
banks of the lake.
In addition to the scenic phase of the
plans, there is the industrial phase. The
company has the right to develop hydro
electric power, on the lake to he erected,
and Lake Lure may become famous as a
-producer of power as well as a source ot
pleasure for visitors to the Chimney Rock
section.
MORGANTON KkWAXIS
CLUB ENDORSES RAISE
Recommends Granting Increased Rate to
Southern Power Company if Commis
sion Thinks Same Justified by Figures.
Morganton News-llerald.
After some debate the Morganton Ki
wanis club at its regular meeting last
Friday night passed a resolution which
was forwarded to the State Corporation
Commission in which the club, in effect,
favored the increase in power rate being
requested by the Southern Power Co. Tin*
request, of course, is conditioned upon
the finding of tin* commission that tiie
oomi'KUi.v is not getting a fair return on
its investment.
The following is the resolution as
passed :
“Resolved by the Morganton Kiwanis
Club, that if upon investigation the Cor
poration Commission finds that the-
Southern Power Co. is not getting a fair
return upon its investment, that said
company be allowed, such an increase in
rates as will give said power a
reasonable return upon its investment.

Trick Proved a Boomerang.
Salisbury, Nov. 10. —Draper Bobbins,
a young man of Davidson county, several
days ago played a neat little trick on
Register of Deeds Max Barker, of Ibis
city. Accompanied by a male friend
and a woman, the latter presumably his
sweetheart, Bobbins applied for license
to marry. Air. Barker did not need to
take a second look at the woman to de
termine that she was of lawful age and
so he bad no hesitancy in issuing the
needed papers. It developed later, how
ever, that the bride-to-be was another
and “a younger woman and that there
was paretal objection to the match.
This parental objection intervened and
the wedding was prevented, the father
of the girl having a warrant issued for
Robbins and his male companion. The
woman in the ease was not included in
the prosecution and Robbins’ male com
panion was allowed to go on a suspend
ed judgment. Robbins got this judg
ment in the couuty court; “Thirty days
on the roads, capias to issue at any
county in North Carolina in the event
the defendant and prosecuting witness.
Grace Helen Hayes, are married within
two years from date without the written
approval of her father.”
Organized labor is preparing to begin
an intensive campaign to unionize Isos
Angeles, home of the American plan.
