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-

who rules has told us that when w

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

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

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.)
