TRUST in the
LORD, AND ?
Some general has been accused
of advising his soldiers to "trust in
the Lord, and keep their powder
dry,", and we would paraphrase
this today and say "trust "in the
Lord, and live-at-home." For too
long our fanners have been trust
. ing that congress would do some
thing for them, something which
would, in a measure, bring relief,
but all to no avail. The only class
who can look to congress with any
degree of confidence; is the favored
manufacturer, who needs no relief,
but who generally gets anything de
manded for the protection of his
business, as evidenced by the last
tariff act passed by congres?. Con
gress has given tlje farmers various
and sundry relief boards, but un
fortunately none of them gave re
lief; our fanners were promised all
kinds of relief, mostly tax reduc
tion, by practically every candidate
for the legislature during the last
campaign, but up to this good day !
we have been unable to locate any
of tliis promised relief.
The sooner the farmer decides he
must work out his- own salvation j
and cease looking to Washington, or
Raleigh, for relief the sooner he will
get relief.. We admit the outlook ,
for the farmer to mfrke money is
very discouraging, for tobaceo and
cotton promise to be very low for
another season, but the farmer who
*
raises his own living, keeps as lowj
? _ as possible all expenses, in making
his crops, will be in much better
shape than he can possibly hope
for under the old rule of depend
ing on his one cash crop.

RUB OUT AND BEGIN
ANEW
Today, Tuesday, Is the 133rd day
Since the legislature assembled In
Raleigh, and the most of thtt long
time has been spent In - yays not
f at all becoming to a legislator.
Members have accused other mem
bers of selling out, of being too
much under the Influence of liquor i
and women, and the lie has passed
so often that little or no attention
is now paid to such an accusation.
We do not believe the majority of
the members are guilty of any of
the charges, and hope no member
Is guilty, but doubtless some have
been Indiscreet and tarried too long
In room ? (?) and have felt the ef
fects of what was found In said
room. However, be it said to their
credit, they have stuck on the Job.
To us It appears that It Is going
to be impossible to enact any Sort
of a revenue bill which will meet
?with the approval of the people;
any compromise act, so far present^.
undoubtedly leave a deficit,
?mounting to anywhere from two
to four million dollars, and heaven
Knows the State Is In no condition
to seek for deficits. The Mac bean
School bill can not be carried oOt
with the sales tax without a deficit;
even the luxury tax will not support
It in full, and should the latest
compromise offered, a fifteen cent
?d valorem, be accepted Alii there
will be quite a large deficit. TOl
either of those proposed
. N measure aseet the rrquirernon^
will require that the money be got
from "where the mon*y U," and
even Mr. MacLean will sot '?ree
to this.
On Saturday the Joint committee,
the second one to try a hand at a
compromise measure, got together
and presented ts the .legislature a
bill accepting the Mac Lean bill and
fixing an ad valorem tax of 11$
cents, but on Monday night the
house refused to accept it. And
there you are. .
What is to be done? Agree to
agree that the two branches *****
not agree, and rub It all out, in
cluding the Mac Lean school bill,
aid start all over, using as a slogan,
"reduce expenses, thereby reducing
taxes." If the members will do this
and work as faithfully for two weeks
in trying to reduce expenses, cut
ting out about half of the offices
now on the statute books, and cut
salaries from ten to twenty per
cent, beginning at the Executive
department, coming all down the
line, allowing no one to escape, the
tax troubles will be Solved, and the
members can go home with a feel
ing that after all, the time spent
in Raleigh was worth while, for J
they will have accomplished more
for the State than any session ever
assembled in Raleigh.
? ? o
If the legislature remains in ses
sion Just fifteen days more they
will have broken all records, as the
session of 1868-1869 was in session
148 days. It must be they are after
this record, or they would have ad
journed sooner.
-o
If the legislature adjourns with
out enacting a revenue bill it will
be necessary for the Governor to
sail them back In extra session,
which means they will receive pay
for .twenty days at $8.00 per day.
And what beautiful campaign thun
der for the Republicans in 1932.
We do not care whether it be a
Democrat or Republican we are
ready to declare we will not give
our support to any man who votes
to adjourn the present session of
the legislature without finishing the
work for which "Be was elected.

James Thomas Sharkey, 32, a milk
man In Boston, was awarded the
$25,000 first prize in the *50,000
nation-wide contest for the best let
ter setting forth the advantages to
smokers of the new moisture-proof
cellophane wrapper on Camel cig
arette packages, officials of R. J.
Reynolds Tobacco Company and
the contest judges announced to
day. Sharkey lives at 101 Train
Street, Dorchester, Mass., a suburb
o* Boston.
Mrs. Walter Sweet, mother of
three children and wife of a Marine
Corps captain now stationed at the
Brooklyn (N. Y.) Navy Yard, won
the second prize of 110,000.
Third prize of >5,000 went to Jul
ius M. Nolte. real estate dealer of
Duluth, Minn., and former secre
tary of the Duluth Commercial Club.
In all thirty-eight prizes were
awarded, of which Ave were for
*1,000 each, five were for *500 each,
and twenty-five were for *100 each.
Judges of the contest were Roy
Howard. Chairman of the Board of
the Scripps-Howard League of
newspapers; Charles Dana Gibson,
famous artist and publisher of Life
Magazine, and Ray Long, President
of the International Magazine Com
pany and editor of Cosmopolitan:
A total of 925.228 answers were
received In the contest, which was
announced in an eight-day news
paper advertising campaign in
which 1713 dailies, 213ft weeklies and
426 college and financial newspap
ers were used. The only other an
nouncement of the contest was on
the Camel -Pleasure Hour broad
casting network and consisted mere
ly of an Invitation to read the con
test details in the newspapers. '<

prize, is piarried, and is a milk

ing at KUis bland in Hew York, he
went at once to Boston, where he
did odd Jobs. Bight years ago he
got a Job with the Hood Company
delivering milk that caused him to
| rank of foreman and now hu sev
er?l milk route*, under his super
vision.
Sharkey believes he Is best fitted
tor a salesman. It vu this flair
for selling, plus his own experience
in getting.' his cigarettes wet while
delivering milk that caused lhm to
enter the- Camel contest. He was
quick to note the advantages of the
1 new cellophane wis^pei on Camel
cigarette packages, and his letter
was based on personal experience?
in testing the wrapper both as to
protection of the fresh tobacco
flavor, and to the ability of the new
package' to exclude rain, moisture,
and germs.
Mrs. Sweet, winner of the 110.000
second prize, is the mother of three
boys, the oldest of whom is only
ten. A graduate of RadclllTe Col-'

sportswoman, and is tremendously
interested in child phychology.
In her travels about the world
with her husband, Mrs. Sweet ob
served how torrid and damp weather
in varying climates parched or mil
dewed cigarettes. She noted that
carton after carton of cigarettes
shipped to the Marines spoiled and
had to be thrown away, and easily
realized how the protecting mois
ture-pj-oof cellophane wrapper on
Camels would result in fresh sweet
smokes for Service men in distant
lands.

"ROXBORO'S BEST STORE"
Must Keep Ham
mering Away
W. L. Brintnall is the proprietor '
of a store out at Marshalltown, i
Iowa, that has doubled business in
10 years in the face of chain-store :
competition. How did he do ' It? !
Well, Mr. Brintnall learned some- '
thing from the chain Store me
thods and profited thereby. He says
they taught him. the many methods
of modern business, one of the most
valuable being that of regular ad
vertising.
"Many an olil-time merchant,"
Brintnall writes In the May 'Ro
tarian,' "came down to his store in
the morning and suddenly decided
to run an advertisement that day.
About twenty minutes would be
spent in listing merchandise and
another twenty or thirty would be
devoted to writing -the advertise
ment.
"This was then sent posthaste to
the newspaper. Sometimes these
advertisements were fortunate
enough to sell merchandise. Gen
erally the newspaper was blamed
because the advertisement failed to
pull. The progressive independent
merchant took a big step in the
right direction when he learned to
appropriate his advertising budget
for the entire year."
Hit-and-miss, off-and-on adver
tising, if you will take it ifrom a
newspaper which must make its
living In selling advertising, is not
worth a whoop ? at the most not
worth two whoops. It is continuous
advertising that keeps a bargain,
a product and a store before the
public. Did the cigarette and gas
oline firms plaster every billboard
in the country and insert an ad
vertisement In every newspaper one
toe and- quit? No. Every week
in the year they keep at it. The
steady growth of those two Indus
tries is well known to every one.
A reputation Is not built In a
day, Success does not come every
night. One must keep plugging*,
away, and that applies to success
ful advertising Just as it does to
other phases and activities of life.'
