Tuesday, September 17, 1929 What Would a Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence Signer Say Now? What would, the patriots who assembled in Char lotte and declared their freedom from British oppres sion over 150 years ago say if they could look down at their mob cousins who are shooting up women and children who are trying to better their living and working conditions? These men, women, and chil dren attempted, in a |ieaceable and humble manner, tc attend a public meeting in the day time, going quietly, without force or arms; and, upon being mo lested, blocked, and insulted, turned to return to their homes and were pursued, run over, shot, and one of them killed; and then pursued, beaten, and shot at as they ran for their very lives. Again, what would a signer of the Mecklenburg Declaration of In dependence say if he could see these things happen ing almost within sight of the spot where the declara tion was promulgated? It can not be denied that the unionists are making mistakes, because they are ignorant and incapable of presenting their case for public consideration. But on the other hand, the allied mill interests of North Carolina must give them some consideration, rather than to force them into submission by starvation and cause them to bleed and die in their weakness. There is too much intelligence in this country and too much patriotism among the people to stand by and allow men to be so brutally treated as has been done by mobs on several occasions in this State dur ing the |»st few weeks. It it strikingly strange that every time a mill owner asks help, winks his eye, or whistles, the State troops are sent down to quell the trouble. Vet, so far as reports Kb, the laborers have had no protection. They lost their headquarters by a raving mob; they have been dragged from their homes by mobs —ranging up in the hundreds in numbers —and beaten and abused; on other occasions they have been buffeted, beaten, shot and killed along the public highways—yea, a mother, who leaves a house full of small children, was shot and killed by an angry mob, a woman who had not opened her mouth or raised her hand against the majesty of the law— and never yet has an officer of Ike State of North Carolina been in sight to protest or protect. Members of these mobs of so-called "100 per cent patriots" have befouled their own nests and reddened their hands with innocent blood. Of course, some will shout Red," and some of the unionists are red—in their own blood, from wounds received hands of an angry, unmerciful, unprincipled, and unsafe mob which was violating every law of our State and Nation enacted since May 20, 1775.

The telephone, the telegraph, the electric light and power, the radio interests, the manufacturers of all the lead ing products, the chain store, the transportation com panies—rail and water—the motor manufacturers, the tobacco manufacturers, the farm machinery man, the big banks, together with the dozens of other organized and affiliated business concerns are levying too much tribute on the users of their goods. - , The tobacco farmer sells 3 1-2 pounds of tobacco to the trust for 40 cents, and the trust sells it back to him, in cigarettes, for $6.00. The profit is so great that SI.OO invested in tobacco stock in 1912 is now worth $217.19. The investment of SI.OO in the old American Tobacco Company, up to the time it was outlawed by the United States Supreme Court, had increased until it was worth $1,500 in less than a quarter of a century. And these are only samples of what others are doing to the public. The Western Union Telegraph Company has a massed great fortunes by overcharging; the American Telephone and Telegraph Company has grown-to be one of the great monopolistic kings through its allied Bell branches. Yet these institutions are only a few of the giant organizations that have almost sucked all the marrow from the bones of a suffering public. They are all charging far too much for their products, there by growing rich with rapidity while their customers are growing, poor, thin, and limp in trying to buy their products. ' _ ' Neglect ol the Church Dr. O. P. FitzGerald suggested a cure for many of the common ills of the day from his pulpit in the local Methodist Church Sunday night. His text was 'My Father worketh, even until now, and I work."— John 5:17. Christianity and business was his general theme. These two great forces should work together in per fect unity and full accord, yet in our day they seem to be growing further and further apart day by day. He reviewed the present-day trend of business, which is to centralize and consolidate for the purpose of squeezing out and starving out competition, describing how we once found our small factories succeeding but they are now perishing on account 7 of the great com binations. He compared the scene of a young man, the son of a tobacco manufacturer, circuit-riding East ern Carolina in a $15,000 automobile among farmers who are on the verge of bankruptcy. Neglect of the church was given as the reason for most of our troubles. We have neglected the church, which is the only business that will guarantee pros perity, peace, and happiness and still, most of us, at least, have made a rush for business, stocks, bonds, etc. Now that times are hard, the people are leaving the church for the last, they are paying more attention to the business of the hour than they are the business of eternity. The churchjs made to suffer more, because we have neglected to put it first. When, if we would puit it first, our other troubles would soon adjust themselves and labor and capital might each enjoy [>eace and prosperity, which can never be until each treats the other as Jesus taught men to do unto others. He said the support of the church is neglected, be cause a Jack Norman show can get several dollars a week from a family which claims not to be able to pay a small amount of church dues. He called church leaders to do a greater service in their business of Christian leadership. A Disgrace to the Profession The Willie Person-Glidewell gang lost out in their daim for a great fee against the Tobacco Associa tion before Judge Meekins last Saturday. It is a fact well remembered how these lawyers •ought every opportunity to help destroy the only marketing hope that tobacco farmers have ever had, jnd after they had done their deadly work, they at tempted to jump on the little residue of assets with vulture-like greed. But the court held them down— an act that is worthy of the commendation of all honest people. The type of practice which these lawyers did in this case, in trying to destroy the efforts of honest working citiiens in their attempt to better their con dition, is a disgrace to the legal fraternity.
