Grow Good Tobacco
Will the nature of the cigarette be
so changed that the Eastern Bright
Belt will lose its market.
The flue-cured bright-leaf tobacco
struck a big boom years ago, when
the cigarette taste of the world was
under cultivation and something mild
was what the smokers wanted
Now things have changed The
boys who once fancied only a mild
...
smoke now relish something more
substantial, and we find the Lucky |
Strike, the Camel and many other
popular brands filled with a large
proportion of Kentucky burley. It j
is reported that many of the brands
that were once made up Of 75 per
rent bright leaf and filled with 25
l*r cent burley now contain 75 per
cent burley and 25 per cent bright
leaf. • " I
Truth the Leader Of All Virtues
Tomorrow all parts of the civilized
liberty-loving world will celebrate the
birthday of George Washington.
Most of us count him as our model
man for some particular event or hap I
pening in his life. Many of us like
him because he was a strong, brave
young man. Some of us admire hint j
because he great success as
a warrior against the Indians.. And, |
of course, we like him because he I
drove the British forijs from the
American shores, and made us free.
Then, we will no doubt find some
who would like to follow in his path
and be president.
Eighty-Eight Years of Duty, in Peace and War
In the death of Joseph Dunning,
of Aulander, recently, the last living
member of the bodyguard of Jeffer-,
son Davis on his trip from Richmond
to the South passed away.
it is said that on this famous trip,
when President Davis was attempt
ing to unite the remnant of Lee's
army around Richmond with John
son's army in North Carolina, that

• - Jf the report that the use of bright
leaf is losing favor in any large pro
portion is true, then we will have
to cut our acreage or the manufact
urers will cut our prices.
The price of tobacco for several
years has been reasonable, yet every
farmer should remember that the
| price of tobacco is like the shifting
sand, which are often changed by
i the winds of tomorrow. When a
j community stakes all its energies on
the production of tobacco and the
price drops too low, it is generally a
i "busted " community.
What Martin County farmers
should strive for is a good crop of
tobacco rather than a big crop. Re
membering that a small crop is gen*
erally good and a big crop is generally
' poor.
The thing that we should most
cherish in Washington is liis stand j
■ for truth, regardless of consequences, j
Of all the things that make men
great, truth is the foundation. Noth
ing of value under the sun can be
founded on falsehood, either by the
uttered word or by trying to appear
what you are not.
i Washington refused to utter false
hood and also refused t) act false
hood. Had he done either he would
'not have been either General Wash
ington, President Washington, nor
| the Father of his country.
Joe Dunning, of Bertie County, was
the leader of the president's military
[escort. At the end of that strenuous
journey, when President Davis saw
1 (iefeat a certainty, he bade "Uncle
Jo?" good-by at Greensboro and tpld
him to save himself if jwssible. The

Appreciating the Other Fellow's Viewpoint
That "the parents who can remem
ber what it was like when they were
young can exercise endless power
over their children and build up
srtong, elastic, and resourceful per
sonalities" was a statement made at
the institute on parental education at
Raleigh last week by Dr. Vincent, of
the Rockefeller Foundation.
But that i r . the trouble. Too few
ii»f us in this day appreciate the po
jsition of others. Kvery one -the
|child, the youth, the grown-up, the
middle-aged, and the old -each wants
his way, which can not be done in
Rarmony. When the child leucijs to
appreciate its position in the scheme
of things, and then the young man
and finally the old, things will go
smoother. We must learn to har
monize both our view|xiint of things
and our demand for things, .

Progress a Harsh Taskmaster
Business is better. This testimony
comes from the politicians and the
fellows linked and tied up with Wg
business. All the fellows ton the up
per deck are doing fine. They are
the fellows who are doing things with
machinery, which the government
protects with patents, and they own
the patents. This enables the man
on top to do big work with small
machines and turn the old fellows
who used to do the work out on the
cold world. There was a time when
the man who had muscle and brawn j
had a valuable product, something'
that was in demand every day at a
fair wage. Now the machine does
the job and there is nothing much
for the muscle man to do.
The trend of the age is toward the
labor-saving machine, which means
out the door for the laboring man.
The fellows who once were the
artists, in the print shops have been
thrown out by improved presses anil
entirely superseded by the click of
the typesttting machine. These men ■
now have but one thing to do, tramp
the road from shop to shop looking
for a job; more often to be told that
there is no room for any but the ma
chine man; and on down the cold
trail they go.
i
There is a harshness in the sweep
.of modern progress, coming from in
side the office, saying "you are out
>f a job, as the new machine is tak
ing your place.''
Modern progress is a fine thing, but
it is a cruel thing to starve half the
race to enable the other half to "div
i idend.''
