' Whether, indeed, any plan which the' (Government can administer will have that effect, is beginning: to be doubt ed by some of the men who were foremost in their advocacy of sore of the important agricultural relief measures. !

To be en ?itled to credit at a bank a man must zither be the owner of property which can be thrown on the market and con verted into cash quickly jto meet his !oan when it comes due, or else be able to show thai there is a better than ever ohanee tfcat by using tie borrowed money .in business he can make enough vo pay off the loan and leave himself a profit. Too many people have the idea thai everybody ought to be able to walk intb a bank and borrow money, re gardless of his prcspeets of repaying it. The honest banker, responsible to his depositors for the careful invest ment of their money, can't lend it out 'that way. Very few people in any community . know how to use money profitably; if mast of us did more of us would be rich. I think one of the principal causes of the present distress is that too much credit was extended in boom times tc people wtho wern't entitled to it and who did not know how to use it. CASH .... . . . it's scarce The other day I talked willh five 01 six of my country neighbors in tin course of one Saturday morn ing. Every one of them said thai cnsh v.-.is harder to g.'ti hold of than it had ever bee.u in their memory. 1 went to New York ati^d met a couple of business men whom I know well. Both reported that business is good ? one said betfcj- than for years in vol ume and price ? but thait collections were slower than ever. Even the Ian est corporations were taking fpom two weeks to two months longef'to pay their bills than they had ever done be fore. As I write this I have jinst com. from lunching wit J' another business n#au. He gave it as his opinion that people are feeling the depression worse this year than at any previous tinu More folks are going "'on relief'' beeauff-e they have come to the end oi their resources. They .cannot buy anything because they have 11c money lr-ft with which to buy. !

SECURITY . . "clear" real eatfvli The only people, men or institutions who a re in a secure position today r.re tfie ones who owe nothing a.'id who have some source of income no' dependent upon the daily turnover o! j trade. Those and the self-sustaiuin; j fan. s of whoa.' there are maiiv.. ? i I have one friend whosv projM;rt\ j consists of real estate in a large eas! ern city. His grandfather foirrl'tt1 vhe fortune which his father conserv ed ai^d which has now cosine rndei his management as trustee for all t')o heirs. The policy laid down by 1hc founder of the fortune was never to' borrow a cent, never mortgage a piece of property. If 'lie rents were ncl enough to live mi, (*114 down )>ert-ona! living expenses but don't impair tin capital bv selling some of it. My friendi has been accustomed t<> I spending a hundred thousand a year or more. Now he is living at ithe rate of about $12,000 a year. But every piece of property he owns is rented, although what the thousand or so ten ants can pay is not much more than enough to pay the taxes and upkeep. The property stall stands, however, and some i<fiay prosperity will return and rents, will go up again. Real estate cQrnes the neanist to offering security of anything I know of. But not when it is mortgaged.. INVESTMENTS .... diamonds I talked the other day with the diamond expert of America's most famous jewelry house. He toM! me that the prices of good quality, well cut diamonds are nearly double what they were three or four years ago. In another store I asked the head of the diamond jewelry department how bus iness was. He replied that they were selling more diamonds, and at better prices, than for yeai*. People with sane capital reserves, (Continued On Page 2) Next Tuesday is election day. The people go to the polls to make choicc of officers for the county, for the next two years, to elect a Congress man, a Solicitor, two Superior Court judges, a CSiief Justice and tyvo As sociate Justices of the Supreme Court, a State Senator and a Repre sentative in the General Assembly. Much activity has been noticed in political circles in the county in the past few days ; both Democrt&s and Republicans working to further the interests of their parties. Democrat ic leaders are confidently predicting another victory in the county for the party, ca:uparable to that of two years ago, when majorities reached as high as 1526, and lowest was 1335; an/1 when every precinct in the county gave democratic majorities, ex cept Canada, Green's Creek, North Sylva and! Barker's Creek, and they returned reduced republican majori ties. The democratic county ticket is headed by Solicitor John M. Queen, who has no republican opposition. Ralph Ramsey, Jr. of Brevard, the democratic candidate for the State Senate is opposed by A. T. Ward, of Haywood. The local tickets are: Democratic Representative; T. C. Bryson. Clerk Superior Court; Dan Allison Register of Deeds;. Miss Margar.'t Sherrill. Sheriff; C. C. Mason. Coronor; C. W. Dills. Surveyor; Lyman Stewart. Chairman Board of Commissioners ; J. D. Cowan.
