Our Hotel Facilities '
Williamston still needs better hotel facilities. Sev
eral'people have had to leave town this week at 11 o'-
clock at night because they could not find a bed in
town to sleep on. If no individual will build a hotel,
then a corporation might be formed to provide a hotel.
If neither of these plans can be effected, the third,
most logical, and possibly the only thing to do, is for
the town to build it. Since a hotel is a public neces-.
sity, towns are permitted to invest in such project*.
Simmons and the Small Fry
Second grade politicians and bellicose office-seekers
seem, to be about out of gas in their race to behead
Seantor Simmons. I/>ts of them have jumped on the
fence, flap|>ed their wings and crowed about how they
would vpte the Republican ticket if Simmons is the
next Democratic nominee. So far,, nobody has paid
much attention to them.
The Simmons tariff fight now on in Washington is
a ready and forcible reminder to the people of North
• Carolina that Simmons is still jxissessed of both virtue
and* democracy.
It is safe to make the prediction that there is no
man, in the State that the North Carolina democracy
will trust yfho will attempt to make the race against
Senator Simmons if he "chooses to run."
Why the Tariff Benefits Some Products
The tariff affects different commodities in different
ways. »
As an illustration: The tariff on peanuts was raised
50 per cent in February, and peanuts today are sell
ing for a lower figure than the amount of the tariff
which is supposed to protect thfm. On the other hand,
Congress is talking at/out raising the Tariff on paint.
And just the mere talk has caused the price of .paint
to go up. " •
The explanation is that the few manufacturing peo
- pie raised the price on paint, not because of a new
demand but simply to get a bigger profit on what
they sell. * .
It is different with the peanut people, where thous
ands of farmers raise them. They take what the buyer
offers them, whethei much or little. If they were as
well organized as the paint manufacturers are, they
could say to the trade that it could take what it need
ed at a price high enough to give a profit.
The paint manufacturers could easily glut the mar
ket if they would throw all their goods on it at once,
but they know too much about business to do such
a thing. The farmer is different. He will sell it all
if his surplus goes for nothing. And the buyer knows
him so well that he always bases his price on the
surplus, because he knows the farmer doesn't see the
point. . '•

An Ordinance That Should be Enforced
Tl»e spitting ordinance in Williamston is not be
.ng observed. People are still spitting where tbey
please, on the sidewalks, on the side of buildings,
or any place they wish. It is dangerous to health
and mars the appearance of things to see sidewall*
befouled by promiscuous spitting. ,
Two Kinds of Bankruptcies
, i
According to some folks, our country is facing two
cases of bankruptcies: Financial and moral.
Strange to say, the thing which apparently gives
this generation more concirn and sadness than any
thing else is the want of money; and faces are sadder
for the want of the pleasures of the day than those
faces seem which are on the road to moral bankruptcy.
One of our great troubles is the misconception of ao
many of our people as to values. They place too much
emphasis on the pleasures of life and too little upon
the value of character.
We are not satisfied with normal living and with
normal conditions. We demand "high-flying" every
day, which seems to satisfy both soul and body.
What we most need, as is a higher con
ception of the value of a soul.
But Two Classes Left
With the present rate of consolidation and finan
cial manipulation holding up, it is only a question of
a few years when nearly all the folks in the United
States will be either Negroes or "poor white trash."
Plant Cover Crops Now
September is the month for the farmers to sow
cover crops for winter grazing and land improvement.
And this is-a year that every farmer should exercise
that privilege and opportunity. We have short crops
of practically everything on the farm this.season; and
stock of all kinds, including poultry, will need graz
ing through the fall, winter, and spring. The
lands, which have been washed worse this year than
during any year in the last twenty-five, need covet
crops to preserve the fertility that remains.
When farmers consider that a few days' work and
$25 or S3O will buy enough seed rye or oats to plant
an average one-horse farm, they will at 'once see what
a profit there is, in the saving of feed and also in the
saving of fertilizer cost next spring, because the win
ter cover land will not need so much as the land not
covered.
The Judiciary, Labor's Last Bulwark
A general vieyv of the entire trouble which has oc
curred in the strike area of this State within the past
few months reveals conditions that are going to Cause
trouble in this country during the next quarter of a
century..
First of all we see two extreme forces —one striv
ing for money, the other for a living. And, so far,
it seems to us, the laborers have acted with far more
decency and honor than mill owners and sympthasizers.
The killing of the Gastonia police chief was, of
course, a deplorable thing, and, if done by strikers,
it should be charged to them and the guilty ones pun
ished. But, on the other hand, the property of strik
ers, the food that they had stored for the preserva
tion of the lives, of their families, was destroyed by a
mob more vile than ■they. And they have been
up, broken in on, and taken out and beaten which
acts have practically been ignored tyktlw civil and
military authorities on the scene. Our State militia
now seems to have but one function, and that is to do
rthe bidding of the property owner; and the man who
has nothing more than the life of his wife or his child
or his own life to protect is not considered in tbeir
scope of duty.
The one and only great bulwark that the laborer
has left to lean on is the judiciary. If they have
failed to find protection Jrom sheriffs and police
forces, or from the Governor's own guard, they have
found both justice and mercy at the hands of Judge
Harnhill. This is another reminder of the wisdom of
our forefathers, who gavo- us a government with three
distinct branches: The legislative, the executive, and
the judicial.
