I FR/DAY, JANUARY 23, 19 Kmentis f i aid to trade,! * T || I?:avs i'essinnsm 10 | gjble For Much of The II I Trouble In Warren tells income sources; I I By HOWARD JONES JR. II I The pessimistic viewpoint tre-1 r Iquently expressed has done more tc 11 cripple business in Warren county ? than the combination of dry weath- If ler and low prices paid for agricul-|I tural products. If I True it is that prices paid tor II I agricultural commodities have been II Ibelow normal and that nature || I working in the form of drought II I tailed to add her supply to the horn t l0{ plenty, nevertheless, most of the 11 I horn's supply has always come from 11 /other sources and these continue 1I I today 11 r Trade has for years been more or 1i | less maintained in this county by j t I money sent here by the govern-11 I meat, and at present thousands of | * I dollars are being distributed among I ' /citizens over Warren. L | Warren county had thirty-two |a soldiers who gave their life during L, I the World War. Practically all these I n ran-ied government insurance. |b - " In, J 4.1 men ? The monthij' payment 01 tnese u*-. t, surance checks is $57.50. It is reas- 11( onable to believe that Warren is J getting at least $1500 per month Ju from this source. |v There are fifteen postmasters, a |0 number of assistants, eleven R. F. I D. and two Star Route mail car-1 ITiers in the county. It is estimated! I that $4000 is distributed over War- I I ren every 30 days from the Post I I Office department. Iw I There are numbers and numbers Ia I of citizens of the county who en-1n I gaged n the World War who are Is Idrawing pensions from the govern-1P Iment every month. A conservative It] estimate of this sum would be $30001 w dollars. Tlven there are some I b a Spanish War veterans who receive Is Aa check every month. And when I" Hoongress is not in session around 18 Hi $1000 comes into the county!3 Hrom the salaries of the congress- Is: Hnan and his secretary. Jo Sixty-two men on the roster ofln Hhe local military company gives j Hhjs section around $300 a month. J J m It would be save to say that at I least $10,000 is being placed in the J hands of Warren county citizens by I the Federal government every! M month regardless of any other |c I source of revenue. Jr I Money that has been appropriated | the state and county is poten- /J ' fxal to the trade throughout War- ~ ren. s There are 115 teachers in the c schools of the county. These educators are paid monthly. They place j, into circulation every thirty days ' approximately $17,000. ^ Salaries of county officials would certainly run up to $1300, and town ? officials over the county would add ^ approximately $1000 a month. ^ The State sent $26,000 into the county from the gasoline tax last ^ year. It is reasonable to believe that $20,000 will come from this ^ source this year, or around $1700 a 1 month. There are some business firms in the county that collect their revenue ^ from agencies out of the State. _ The above money has already j; been appropriated and regardless of <1 the fact where it comes from, it is being spent in the county every . thirty days for clothes, food, work, building material, and other lines . of busines engaged in by the people of Warren. Some of this amount finds its way to the industrious \ farmer who has chickens, butter, oggs, beef, pork and other items ? mat are turned into cash. Some money has come and will continue to materalize from the farms this year. There are a few farmers in Warren who made more money in 1930, according to their own word, than they have in the past. A majority of the cotton raised in the county this year went to the Coops, and it is probable that a cent or two more a pound will come to citizens of the county from that source. The fact that the average farmer failed to make expenses the past year reacts more to the supply man than to trade. The average farmer seldom has any money after he has I fulfilled his obligations to the supply man. Of course the present status of affairs might look gloomy to the supply man, but in all probability his losses will be picked up *ith the next good crop. No one will argue that business I Conditions are normal, however, I'bey are not as bad in this county |es we are prone to picture them. I Conversation, whether social or I Usiness, can make a mountain out I0' a mole hill. Many people have 1^ much money now as they Iever had v,,,* ?* ? _ ?, N/wiw aic talking aQVfl?HX?3?8C 101 the drought and low prices to (*cuse themselves for not meeting I ^heir obligations. | frequently people on salaries, *'hich have not been cut, are heard ^pressing their views on hard l?es and are failing to carry out their obligations. Old human nature "tit reach for an excuse for weak ^ss on the slightest provocation. * letter from a debtor sometime j ch stated that he was unable to I 31 Warren ton, N< THINGS THAT I \-J WHICH ONt A [ KID5 BROKE DAT \ , A===i WIKDCR r-~> { maf leet his obligations on account of bank failure in another county, rtiich he said, ruined him. As a latter of fact he was in debt to the ank several thousand dollars when be doors of the institution failed a open. A pessimistic outlook has ushered s into a state of fear and is preenting us from getting the most ut of what we have. The following story may make lany of us appear as fish, but may e apropos: "A naturalist divided an aquarium rith a clear glass partition. He put lusty bass in one section and miriows in the other. The bass would trike every time a minnow aproached the glass partition. After bree days of fruitless lunging, ihich netted him only bruises, the ass ceased his efforts and subIsted on the food that was dropped i. Then the naturalist removed the lass partition. The minnows swam 11 around the bass, but he did not trike at a single one. He was thorughly sold on the idea that busiess was bad." Live-At-Home Idea Still Strong in State With the 1931 "Live-at-Home' ampaign entering its third week eports to the Extension Service at f. C. State College, which division s conducting the campaign, inlicate with emphasis that the peole of the State still have a responive ear to plans to made North Jarolina self-supporting. Fifty counties have been visited n the first two weeks of the camlaign by five teams of extension workers and these specialists report nthnsiastie recention of the slogan Farm to make a living in 1931" 'he attendance has averaged above 00 and this figure is considered xcellent in view of the unfavorable eather conditions which have been ncountered, making it difficult foi armers in the outlying districts tc each the county seats. The campaign will continue hrough the month of January with he extension teams, each accomained by two speakers, visiting iractically every county in the Itate. The campaign is under the irection of Dean I. O. Schaub irector of the extension service. Evidence that the "Live-at-Home' dea has not fallen on barrer ground is shown in the 1930 croi icreage figures which have beer ft = = Special Week j Son < I, A big shipment fast C school dresses just pu A lot of 25c fast colc special at only 15c yi Another special?a 1< cloth printed in beau we have put out at < A lot of 32 inch Gir color, and in the regu are pricing special a 1 Also we are offering prices on Sheeting ant sewing.

I compiled at Extension headquarters in Raleigh. The land planted in 13 important food and feed crops was j actually increased by 520, ibu acres last year while the cotton acreage was decreased by 234,000 acres. The money value of the increase in the value of food and feed crops is placed at $19,000,000. These figures showing actual accomplishment are proving especially encouraging to agricultural leaders and with this date in hand the speakers are able to show farmers, bankers and supply merchants that the idea has been understood and that North Carolina is on the highroad to making itself self-supporting. Governor Gardner has asked for > an additional increase of $40,000,000 in the food and feed crops in 1931 i and it is this goal that the extension and county workers seek in the campaign now in progress. ; Names Winners In 5-Acre Corn Contest Simon P. Honeycutt of Benson, Johnston County, was awarded first place and a cash award of $100 in k the second 5-acre corn-growing contest held in those Eastern Carolina . counties traversed by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad, announces ' Enos C. Blair, extension agronomist [ at State College and chairman of the committee of judges having the contest in charge. Mr. Honeycutt produced 105.2 bushels of corn an j acre at a cost of 21 cents a bushel. "This contest," says Mr. Blair, I "has been sponsored by the railroad . organized for the purpose of not i only increasing the production and orrp vield of corn but also Of CTOW , lng this corn economically. The con, test was open to all farmers in the i Atlantic Coast Line territory com1 prising some 33 eastern counties. > The success of the contest is evident i from the fact that the lowest yield recorded was about twice the aver, ?ige for the State. The yields ranged from 42 bushels up to 105 bushels i an acre. Only nine out of 66 coni. testants making reports failed to . make at least 50 bushels an acre." \ Mr. Blair says the average cost i of a bushel of corn, considering the s fertilizer, seed and labor amounted , to 31 cents. The lowest was 11 cents An ordinary crop of corn costs about ' 75 cents a bushel to produce.

Ancient: Still Is Seized By Police RALEIGH, Jan. 20.?Fifty years or more ago the spirits of fermented grain percolated through the worm of a big copper still in this section. Less than 50 days ago, local officers claim, the same process was repeated in the same copper still. But it won't happen again. The officers yesterday descended upon the home of James Walden negro, near here, seized the old "government" booze plant and smashed it to pieces. RUBIES wnnin a grove 01 spreaamg trees, 'Mid fragrant shrubs of tender green, A tall, majestic house is seen And, fanned by everiy whspering breeze, Deep scarlet blooms of richest dye, Waft perfumed incense to the sky. Old ivy round each casement clings, And to the walls of massive stone, E'en tower and turret ivy-grown! A twitt'ring bird its mating sings, Then flies away, like fleeting dreams, O'er meadows, dales and sunlit streams. Oft, gathered in those spacious halls, The beaux and bells of long ago Trod stately measures, to and fro, (Faint strains still echo from the walls.) Such jeweled combs! Such powdered hair! Such dazzling necks, and shoulders bare! Of this lone house, wierd tales are told: . Of footsteps on the marble stair ' And hidden gems of beauty rare. A maiden had a lover bold, Who, from Hinder temple stole A ruby?circled, golden bowl. O'er land and sea they followed him, (Two Hindus) on dire engence bent For, to his sweetheart, he had sent A ruby necklace?costly whim! See, on her neck, those jewels glow Like beacon-fires upon the snow. Long after midnight! Lights are low. Moonbeams shine taint upon her bed; While, with a stealthy, noiseless tread, Unseen, those Hindus come?and go. A maiden's life, their cruel quest? They leave a dagger in her breast! And e'er since then, this mansion's been Deserted! Bats i?nd owls have flown Around its ivy'd towers, nor known One human habitant within!

In Memoriam MRS. FANNIE P. ROBERTSON "Leaves have their time to fall, And flowers to wither at the North wind's breath But thou hast all seasons for thine own, O Death."
