Correspondence of Tbe Journal. Those aristocratic people on the marooned trains at tbe time of the railroad disaster mentioned by The Journal some time ago deserve come mention. Traveling people who think tbe railroads should always be pre pared to furnish luxuries, such as ice cream, tlevtric fans, and cigars, and turn tip their noses at conditions in the South just because they happen to be caught in a daster. would do wtll to remember that they might be tbe Jonah on the vessel that made il seem good to him who rules to send the disaster on us and them. A people that cannot look with any degree tl sympathy for the railroad at a time like that and complain at not having luxuries served in time of distre-s will, when they reach their destina tion, complain mightily at the deil fur not having an ice cream parlor, a dajciit hall, electric fans and Ice wa ter and other luxuries such as they have in the North. But they will he gladly told by his saianic majesty that a bathing pool of tire and brim stone is the tt in his shop. 1 know no language that will give a decent expression of ray feeling for such cat tie. It looks r.s ii the praying people oi this water deluged fouttilana hnv. ost faith in ptayer. We know v. ry Weil that it a drouth had caused on- tenth the damate that the nun enn--ed the people all over these strick- u plates would have been holding piay- T-mec!i!is asKing mm who ruies i nj the needed t-upply of ram. II who rules has told us that when w need anything- to 'a sit lor it in fail1: und it sh;l be done lor us. .Now while the downpour of rain was going on week atter week. I was listening for some leliuious leader, the finve - nor ot tne Mate or some one in au thority, to issue a prcdanir.tion ask ing us all to unite in oao common cause ana asK ttnn who ruies to ioih on us in mercy and stay his judgment lest we perish. I can near him say ing, "Oh ye of little faith. e should remember that He wno senas rani in answer to prayer would cause the rain to cease In answer to prayer if we pray in faith. Then if we don't pray it is evidence of little or no faith. This being the case the first thing we should pray for is faith. Novus Homo, 1 can uo you no good on the rural credit system, l nope The Student w ill give you the figures. If Mr. Myrick is right. 1 can't count a hundred. But I will say that Mr. Myrick's plan for rural credits Is like the old woman who when her buy wanted her to buy him a fiddle. She said, "John, you can't play a fiddle; when von i;t to be a good fiddler 1 wiil buy you a llddle." Now .Mi. Myrick -as. gentlea'.en, when you own land euougn so you can oonov. momy anywhere at any time then you just iome to this government land hank and we will lend you money at just a little interest and we will pud Hi. wool ever your eyes and make you think we are giving you a young fortune. Mr. Homo, get Mr. K. r . Heasl-w to line tin with you on thi.i needed legislation, for you and he will be Hi the next Ueneral Assembly together: and you create a sensation by letting the General Assembly know that it is the poor that is in need and not the rich. What tho country needs is a sys tem by which all industrious laboring men can borrow money equal to his earning capacity. Now we know that some people are poor because they are no good. We are not asking that money be stamped and mailed to us by parcel post. We want every man lo have wh.it he earns and evuy man to earn what he has. How about it? In the sweat of thy tace then shalt eat bread. We want tiie people who are feeding and clothing the? world to have a fair chance in the wot Id. Homo and Beasley, ym know ih;.; when a piece of land Is sold und r the hammer that some old land shark that doa't need It can buy it (say for a thousand dollars) and give u in at MOO. no Kiting it lie idle, thur paying tax on two-filths of th.? pur chase of the land and also creating a demand f jr land by holding it wf the market. Vt u know, Mr. u. presen-tati-.e, that the rule ri;ht here in g ;.)d old I'iiion county is this: If a aian buys a piece of land for ?lo00 nnd noes to work on it and sell s i Lgg and navs tor it and builds a hi r o an nlatits a vineyard and fruit treis and makes himself a substantial citizen that the ofiicers of the law will come around and say, "Look her. my friend, vou must pay for such as this. We will double your taxes, sir. If you don't want to pay more txes, go fishing and let the world around vou nerish." Now. Mr. Beasley and Novus Ho mo, when vou go to the legislature, you make a fight for a law that will let the shark know when he buys land in excess of his home need, that he may know that the taxes will be doubled on it in his hands; while If a man buys it that needs it for a homestead that the taxes wilt be very light to him. Give a man credit for what he does here in the world and charge him up with what he fails to do. You see the point! Encourare home building and discourage idle land owning. If you see a man that has a few hundred acres and wants more just to monopolize the land bus iness and keep the land out of the hands ot the people that God made it for, you tell him that Borrower would like to have a private chat with him. 1 thick we have got a lot of good people that are serving the Devil nicely. Of courso they are serving him through ignorance. Remember that God has told us that he has taken the foolish things of this world to confound the wise, and now if some sorter foolish fellow in worldly wisdom undertakes to lead you into a bit of light along righte ous lines, don't you fly oft the handle. Remember the text. I am not in pol itics except on election day. I will vote. I am trying to denounce pop ular evils and when you see that I am wrong please drop me a letter to Monroe R. F. D. 8. and Mr. Cox w ill put it in the box. Borrower. (Some men In North Carolina who see the evils in our tax system worked for months, making speeches, paying their own traveling expenses, and til ing all they cevald to get a constitu tional amendment that would permit the legislature to cnact just laws. The amendment was proposed, passed the legislature, nnd submitted to the people to do auopte.t in uie iau m 1914. What happened? The people voted dow n the amendment, thus say ing that they cither didn't know what they were doing or preferred the old wrongs. The Journal.) Wesley Chapel High School.
