They crush the small producer and exploit the consumer, and must be dissolved, says George L. Record of New Jersey. The way to do tiiis, he says, is for the people to own and operate the railroads. George L. Record is a progressive seeking the scut of United States Sen ator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen. Mr. Record docs not mince his words in his charges against the Beef Trust and the Coal Trust. Mr. Record says: "I had an in structive experience which the argument 1 am that the lietf -Trtnit, as" well us the Ci(J, depends for its controlthe mar ket upon railroad favors equivalent to rebates which are denied to compet itor*. The Federal Trade Commission has described this process in detail al ter an elaborate investigation. "The mil roads huvo lew or no re frigerator cars to curry meat or pei ishable products. The live concerns constituting the Beef Trust have their own private refrigerator and other cars. A competitor either has to put on the road his own cars or hire cars from one of the Beef Trust concerns. "If he puts oti the road his own cars the railroad managers delay them and divert them, and allow the ice to melt, and thus prevent prompt or adequate deliveries. A Farmer's Experience A mart recently gave me his per sonal experience, which confiri lod the facts I had seated. -He uaid he hail been a letter earlier in New Jersey, but ill health compelled him to go to Florida and start a truck farm. "When his first truck was ready fo the New York market he applied to the local freight agent for a car, and to his surprise was told thai the rail road had no cars for perishable pro ducts, and that he must apply to the Swift concern across the stWOt. "This is a simple illustration of hov. the Beef Trust has been able to build up and how i. maintains its monopoly. "A eonspicioiis illustration, showing the futility of any relief from such methods, occurred during the last ad ministration. "The Federal Trade Commission" which was created to curb thes: trusts made un rxhaustive examination of the Beef Trust, and ascertained fcy an inspection if the records of the five firms constituting that trust, they CHURCH DIRECTORY METHODIST L.

George L. Record, progressiva aspirant to the teat now occupied by U. S. Senator J. S. Frelinghuy sen of N. J.. ii advocating Federal ownership of railroads as a way to curb vicious methods of th« bed and coal trusts. were acting in concert to fix prices and dividing markets, in violation of the Anti-Trust.Law. "These proofs were turned over to Attorney-General Palmer. When hp examined them, he announced to the press that the facts were sufficient to send the leading managers of these firms to prison, and that he proposed to put them behind the bars promptly. How Beef Trust Escaped "Nothing further was heard of the matter until some time afterward, when the Attorney-General appeared in court with the lawyors of the Beef Trust concerns, and waived all crim inal proceedings, and consented to the entry of a judgment by which the firms were forbidden to enter into certain lines of the grocery trade. "In due time it will lie found that the trust concerns have one after an other managod to evride the force of tlfii dwiw. - - - t ;r "Regulation has failed to break up this monopoly and penal statutes havr no terror fo rthe trust magnates. The people must own and operate the rail roads in order.to, break up the beef trust and other trusts, like the Coal Trust." IN SPITE OF ALL THE DIFFICULTIES therefore,- my boy, that may seem ti surround this vexed question of re ligion, I hope, as I said in the begin ning, that you will neither pas* it i - nor postpone it. If your faith is not so strong as you wish it were, yei have only to remember that some o the greatest heroes of Christianit; were at times beset by doubts. Yet be cause they held on to what faith the;, had and used it and because they held on to prayer, they finally triumphed Not long ago I heard the st> a young college student who was p • plexed by dontrts about many much debated questions, and talked over the matter with a minister. "Go to your room, pray over this question, and then write down the things that you really do believe about religion," sain the minister. s The student came back with this list. , « "1. I believe that there is a God "2 I believe that He is a loving God. "3 I believe that there is a righ: and wrong way. "A. I believe that I can do the right instead of the wrong. "I believe that character is of in finitely greater value than money, pleasure or power. "6 I believe that the teaching of Jesus is the best and purest in the world. "8. I believe that I ought to be His disciple. "9. I know that I must die. "10. I believe that there is a future and what I am to be there is determin ed by what I do here. "11. 1 believe that the world is get ting better. "12. I know that I can help mak it better yet. "13. I believe in prayer and itf power." For my own part I feel very much as did the minister, who then said "That is a good deal. Isnt it enobgh to live by while you are getting you' intellectual difficulties stralgtened out? Won't it keep you pretty busy?" Sincerely your friend, CLARENCE POE. Watch the little label on your paper ml knp you? ftjli gf f pti| up, i , V '• • , . » Williamston, Martin County. North Carolina, Friday, August 4,1922. GOVERNOR FLAYS THE PRESS OF THE STATE Hertfort County Herald. Coming into a hastily re-assembled session of the North Carolina Farm ers' and Farm Women's Convention that had already adjourned for the morning after adopting scientific marketing and some way to combat the boll weevil as the "burning is sues" of the convention, Governor Cameron Morrison launched into a 56-minute arraignment of the news papers of the State that left a thou sand or so farmers end their wives breathless. Bitter .denunciation of newspapers and newspaper men that at times be came personal to the point of shak ing his clenched fist at two reporters sitting a few feet away from him, and justification of his reply to the Harding telegram and his whole at titude toward the present strike sit uation consumed all of the Governor's time. His speech bristled with "fools" and "Bolsheviks." According to the program the Gov emor was due to address the conven tion at 11:60 o'clock. The other for malities of the morning had goni through without a hitch, and time fo the Governor's, address came am passed. President Blaeock announce* that the Governor had neither ac cepted nor declined the invitation ti speak. He suggested that the audieitci wait ten minutes and at the end o that time, he adjourned the meeting Hardly was the crowd half out I'ullen Hall when the Governor ai rived. The audience was hastil r»- assembled, though it never quit) reached full strength. The Governo was presented by President Illacccl and the crowd settled back expectin, to hear the Governor's views in mat ters pertaining to the agriculture welfare. It took his less than thirty seconds to indicate that he was no. going to talk agriculture, but news papers, and his attitude toward strike. Important as is ferming, and as important as is industry, these thinK are worthless when liberty is lost, he declared to the crowd. He surmi»ei that maiiy of the audience hud no been made acquainted with his recen utterances, "because quite a numl.i of newspapers have represented m as saying thnigs 1 never dreamed o saying, i am surprised that a mai with intelligence enough to edit i newspaper would *ay such thing about me," he added. The Governor was moused over ai editorial appearing in yesterday 1 . Greensboro News that declared hi. recent address to the press associa tion was worth no more than a Con federate ten dollar bill. He referred time and again to it, interspersing it with a re-statement of his published proclamations and statoments outlin ing his attitude toward the law, Stuti sovereignty, and his determinati'tn that the State shall take no part m the settlement of disputes betweei employer and employee except to maintain order while they fight their fight to a finish. Pledging himself to a God-like en forcement of the law and a fearless courage, he denounced newspaper* that huve criticized his as advocates of social despotism, who think only ol industry and forget- liberty. "N board set up, not in law but in be nevolent foolishness, has any right tc fix wages," he shouted. Solation foi the strike is in obedience to the law. he declaimed. "It is the only way, Mr. Newspapei Men of North Carolina," he exclaimed "You are preaching nonsense when you say that Government ought to in terfere between employer and em ployee when there is no law, and I don't care how arrogantly you ridicule me. The only protection of the publir is through enforcement of the law, and to see that no man does those things that interfere w'th the righti of others." Wage Boards and r.he like foundeo on the "benevolent dreams of fools," he denounced roundly, and returned again to tha Confederate bill. There ar.' editors who wu t to rule the State, he declared. At this point he Lecame personal *n the extont of far over tie platform and shuk ng his fist at the Gieensb- ro .W'f..* man, declari ig that "not • day r.j passed that you have nor hounded You stirred U|> hell m North t' na over the Harris ruse, and y u l ed to browbeat the Governor of > rth Carolina but yu didn't i' ir At the end of V* m.miles the Gov e'T.e - declared thit In conclusion he wtyM say some fer things about the nvesiity of diver dtf ' farming, but he wojfced back aga.n to newspapers and newspaper men, declaring that law was the supreme thing in Amer ica, reiterating the position set forth in his proclamation and in his Con eord speech. Colonel Marvin Made A Great Speech On Co-Operative Mar keting To Farmers Thursday At the appointed time Mr. T. Jones Taylor introduced Colonel Marvin, one of Kentucky's leading farmers, living in the Lexington section. The colonel said he was only a farmer not a speaker. He in the outset that the charge that ho was receiving a big salary as is being circulated by certain propagandists is false. He further stated tha h* had never re ceived a penny in his own state ;'nr his service, nor was he geeting a pen ny for his service in North Carolina. His illustration why the farmer did not need crop cooperation in the old days when he tailed practically a I supplies and had l itis to sell und contrasting thi preseni day cont tion when he is a gicat food buyer and clothes buyer, and showing' h!> great need of protection wee just a little better th'an jou usually heui.

C. bringing an average of from 16 to 19 cents, according to estimatdfi of the first day's offering, it is very generally conceded that the organiza tion of tho tobaco farmers for Co operative marketing has been immedi ately successful in boosting the price of their product. In South Carolina, as in Kentucky, the growers received double price which was given them on last year'B opening markets, and thousands of farmers who sold tobacco from five to ten cents in 1921 are noy re joicing that losses have been changed to profits. This incerase is largely attributed to the Tobacco Growers Co operative Association. Over 3,000 new members ftoin the South Carolina belt joined the To bacco Growers Cooperative! Associa tion during the July campaign, ac I cording to'the count of contracts made at Raleigh Headquattera on August Ist. Over 600 new membcrt joined the Association on July 31st the last day of the drivo in Sduth Carolina. i b The Directors of the big Cooper ative freely predict that it will net its members higher prices than those who sell upon the auction floors can average through the season. Telegrams reaching Raleigh head quarters from M. O .Wilson, secre tary of the Association and other ol deals of the Organised grower were present at the opening of the auction sales this week, state that pospects aer very bright for the as sociation members.

Mr. Coltrtin is jieud mechanic at the York Garage and is a very fine man. Miss Smith is a popular young lady of Deaufort, N. C.

G. Moms returned home yesterday after an autoniokile trip to Raleigh, Aberdeen ami the fa mous sandhills where peaches thrive While at Aberdeen and vicinity Mr. and Mrs. Moss visited some of the large peach orchards and said that it was pitiful to see hundreds of loads of peaches being fed to the hogs, there being no canning factories to pre serve them. It was a wonderful sight said Mr. Moss, to drive through tho tens of thousands of peach trees all loaded with ripe fruit. While on thoir way from Raleigh to Aberdeen Mr. Moss experienced a rval thrill and hair raiser incident at one of the railroad crossings. He had just gotten to the crossing in questim and stopped to let a freight train go by, after which on what he supposed was a signal from the flagman started his car. When near the track, which by the way was somewhat hidden by standing box cars, he noticed a train coming at good speed near at hand Putting his foot On the gas for all h was worth he made a spurt and Just barely got ovor the track when th train whizzed by, missing the automo bile by a few inches. Mr. Moss Bay it was the closest shavf! he ever hat' driving a car and he does not want an other experience like it.
