Automobile Cm.y.
We listened a few evenings ago to
a business man who Is creditor witn
possessing sound business sense, ex
plaining why the South was unable
to finance Its cotton crop this season.
He said the South had drained it
self of money by buying automoiiili'f
at the rate of more than a million
dollars a day, and that this money
all went North except the margin of
profit retained by the local dealer.
Consequently when we have a need
for real money to finance necessary
business transactions we find our
selves busted and are forced to de
pend on borrowing and can borrow
no more than the lender will let us
have. Hence we are at the mercy of
money sharks, simply because we
nave no more seiine than to put our
selves n such position as to give
them all the advantage. And by the
way we recall hearing a Monroe bus
iness man predict no longer ago than
last March that we were headed for
this very goal. So, "by George," we
have made up our own prescription,
according to these men, and it seems
now that the time has arrived for
tis to take a dose of our medicine.
Guess we hsd as well gulp er down.
Maybe It will be worth all it cost us.
If it don't, we don't deserve any bet
ter, anyhow. Novus Homo. ,
It's better to remain silent and
keep them in doubt, rather than say

STAR ASKS IF PARKER IS
NOT A TAX REACTIONARY
TO VOTE OX REFORM THIS
FALL THAT HE ADVOCATES
So Honest Man, Hays Wilmington
Paper, Has Anything to Fear Un
der Revaluation.
What does John J. Parker, Repub
lican candidate for governor of North
Carolina mean by advocating a re
peal of the revaluation act? asks th
Wilmington Star. Does not his at
tit'ude in this respect make him jl re
actionary instead of the reformer he
fondly imagines and loudly proclaims
himself to be?
The law of the state, as old as thi
Constitution of 1868, declares thai
all property shall be listed for tax
ation at Its true value in money. Th
Revaluation art merely effectuatet
this principle. Moreover, revenue t
must have, and the present stature
Is our sole reliance for the purpose.
If the assessments made under thlt
act be fair, then Mr. Parker must be
advocating dishonesty in the matter
of raising the state's revenue. He
calls himself a reformer, but the
basis of true reform Is honesty and
fair dealing. No honest man has
anything to fear under the Revalu
ation act. On the contrary, he has
everything to gain. He knows that
his own property, his neighbor
property, the property of every per
son. Arm and corporation in th
state, is being made to bear its rat
able part of the common burden. Thi
surely makes for s wholesome, bene
ficial status of the public mind and
public service.
If Mr. Parker intends by his
criticism to say that the assessments
are too high, his complaint is not
against the law but against the man
ner in which it is being applied or
enforced. He is attacking the bi
partisan boards of assessors a
thereby seeking to vound not merely
his enemies b t also his friends. But
even this technical ground for objec
tion la now removed because the Leg
taint tire at It- :;peclal session has pro
vided means fi r the correction of all
enois In rssrwment.
Mr. I'-rker is In favor of a tax on
all incomes, regardless of their
sources. He Is therefore In favor
of the vry proposition which is to b
submitted to the people of Nort
Carolina at the ccmlni; election In
the form of an amendment to tht
Constitution. Mr. Parker Is urging
a change in regim.', a change In
narlie.t, although the best he ran of
fer In support of his contention is n
Democratic policy, which his most
heroic forensic strainings can not
transmute Into RepuBllcan ammuni
tion.
But, after all, the overshadowing
question before the people Is: Who
shall spend their tax money after I'
has been paid. Which party Is bet
ter fitted by experience and trust
worthiness for this Incalculably Im
pottant task? The records of the
two parties, known of all men, speaa
for themselves, and make no uncer
tain reply.

Indeed to Arthur Shutuan, a 17-year-
old boy, In the Recorder's court yes

charged with stealing oats. When
asked how he plead, he said "guilty."
Mr. Adams, who was a spectator in
the court, sensed that the boy was
making a mistake In pleading guilty,
and began questioning him. From
the story he told, Mr. Adams became
convinced that the boy was not mor
ally guilty of the offense he was ac
cused of, so he undertook his defense
without charge. As a result of his
efforts, Shuman was discharged. D
developed that the boy had gathered
about a bushel and a half of loose
oats from a car that bad been un
loaded. He intended feeding the oats
to his chlnckens, he said. Depot la

MRS. BICKETT APPEALS TO
WOMEN TO MEASURE UP
As Much Duty of Women to Vote for Right As to Pray
for Right, Says the Wife of North Carolina's
Governor in Statement Monday
Under the new Order it Is as much
the duty of the women of North
Carolina to vote for the right as it
is to pray for the right, declares Mrs.
Thomas Walter Bickett. wife of the
Governor, in a statement and appeal
to the women of the state.
Though never herself an advocate
of woman suffrage, and never a be
liever that the women of America
needed the ballot, Mrs. Bickett has
accepted the new days, and with it
the obligations that go with a place
In the political life of the state. She
calls upon the women of the state
to be not negligent of their duty.
The statement is as follows:
"The women of North Carolina
have never failed to answer every
call to service.
"In the sixties, when the men and
boys In gray marched out to man
the firing line for home and coun
try, they left behind them women
who were no less heroes than they.
When the thin, gray line broke, an
those brave soldiers came home U
rebuild a war-stricken land, the
women bore their part of the fight
as gallantly as the men, until
through years of sacrifice, they made
the waste places blossom ss the rose.
"When, outraged by the barbarism
of Germany, our great Presiden
sounded a call to arms 'that war
might be no more,' the men came
gladly offering themselves a willing
sacrifice on the altar of a great cause.
The women came, too, giving what
to them was dearer than life itself
their loved ones, and then, standing
with hands out-stretched, begged a
chance to serve, and from humble
cabin and stately home they came,
saying: 'Here are we, use us.' And
glorious was the service they gave.
A Call to Service.
"To-day there comes again to the
women a call to service, a call no
less compelling than those calls of
yesterday.
"Though there are many of m
who felt that woman's place was no
tn the .political field, but in the no
less powerful precincts of the home,
a call has come and we cannot fail
to answer. The women of Intelli
gence and character, the women who
love their homes, their children an
their country must meet the obliga
tions and the opportunities of the
hour. We must register early, and
when the day for voting comes we
must not fail to vote. The ignorau
and the vicious, the selfish and the
sordid, will not fail to register wil.
not fail to vote.
"New occasions teach new duties.
Good women have always prayed for
the triumph of the right. Under the
new order it is as much their duty
to vote for the right as to pray for
the right.
"We, who are mothers, have
borne and reared our children to see
them go out into the world where
evil lurks and disease destroys. When
the prohibition fight was won. It was
said: 'They are dead that seek th
young child's life.' True, it Is that
one great enemy lies low, but all

by-paths and the high-roads, others.
no less evil, lurk to prey upon blm
This Is the dsy of our opportunity
Ours Is the privilege to Join with
those men who seek his welfare and

It is In the nature of a duty to use

COTTON (K)INU DOWN FAST
AS EXCHANGE LAW ALLOWS
Keep It Off the Market, Is Advice Of
Mr. Broom Cotton See Is Worth
a Pound of Corn.
To the editor of The Journal:
What are cotton seed worth? Con
sidering their value as a feed for cat
tie and sheep, cotton seed are equal
to corn, pound for pound. When corn
is selling for 2 1-2 cents per pound,
or $1.40 per bushel, cotton seed
should be worth 7$ cents per bushel;
if corn is selling at 3 cents per lb.,
or $1.62 per bushel, cotton seed
should be worth 90 cents per bushel,
and from the standpoint of their
feeding value for cattle and sheep,
farmers should not accept less for a
pound of coi ton seed than a pound of
corn is worth.
Cotton is going down about as fast
as the law will allow on the exchange
markets. It is now, according to the
best authorities, selling far below
the cost of production, with no rea
son assigned except that for the pres
ent no one seems to want cotton. Un
der existing conditions no farmer
should think of selling cotton, but
prepare to warehouse, and secure
loans If money is needed, and hold
every bale from the market until
conditions improve, and conditions
will certainly improve so far as the
present price of cotton is concerned
it the farmers will but hold It from
the market.
Why persist in the putting of tha
product of years of toll on the mark
et when no one seems to want It?
We csn market this crop without loss
to the cotton growers if we will all
stand steady and refuse to be stam
peded Into selling at present prices.
In the meantime, let's prepare to
follow the reduction of acreage plan
as adopted by the American Cotton
Association by planting a large acre
age to grain and hay crops this fall.
It Is Important that Union county
farmers do this from the standpoint
of the boll weevil If for no other
cause, The weevil, will, In all prob
ability, cover this county between
now and frost. This is the season of
his migration Into new territory an-t
we will likely see numbers of them
before long. Evwry farmer should
put in some crop for bay this fall.
Wc would like for every farmer to
try an acre at least of oats and
alslke clover. If you have bottom
land, creek, branch or ditch bottoms
that you wtll sow in oats, prepare an
acre of this land well, apply three
hundred pounds of acid phosphate
and a ton of ground limestone if you
can get It, sow two and one-halt
bushels of red oats, the Appier vari
ety, if you can get them, and six lbs.
alslke clover seed. Do this by the
middle of October If possible, and
from the standpoint of feed produc
tion this will be the most profit
able acre on your farm, cost con
sidered. If you desire, you can put
ten pounds of herd grass seed also.
We are, on our own farm, putting In
five acres as outlined above with the
herd grass added.
We are going lo sow some red clo
ver and alslke mixed on a four acre
plot. The land will be prepared and
sown to wheat about the last, week in
October. The land will be limed and
three to four hundred pounds of acid
phosphate applied to tho acre. In
February we will sow on this wheat
field five pounds of red clover and
four pounds of alslke clover seed per
acre. The lime will do the wheat
good and make the clover grow; the
wheat will make th bread for the
family; the clover will fill the barn
with hay and greatly Increase the fer
tility of the soil. Lime a few acres
to sow to wheat and try this plan of
getting clover started. If you wilM'
will stop you from pulling fodder and
will be a great help to you under boll
weevil conditions and In times of de
pression In the cotton market.
Sow oats for grain and hay. Of
course you will want some crimson
clover and oats for hay. It Is not too
late to sow crimson clover and oati.
or vetch and oats. As farmers, we
rhould forever put a stop to the Im
portation of hay. Let us remember
thst In the growing of legumes and
hv crons that lime will be a great
help to us. It Is not too late to get
lime to anply lo wheat and oat lands
If vou wilt place your order at once.
Remember, olso, that It Is almost iise
lesn to sow red clover without liming
the land. T. J. W. Broom.
