Facing the Facts
We are interested In knowing just what the News
and Observer is going to find out in its investigation
of the*condition if-Eastern Carolina.
Our guess is that in many cases they will find about
the same conditions prevailing that the prodigal son
found when he arrived at the hog pen; and if that is.
the case with us, we will certainly have to do as he
did—turn back to sane principles. „
We have impoverished ourselves largely by our
own extravagances. We have demanded for ourselves
every pleasure known to kings and princes and have
indulged in them until we have spent all of our re
sources. -- '
Many advise"us !• hide the true condition and make
others believe all is well, but it really seems to uslhat
we heed to come down to the rock-bottom truth and
not try to fool ourselves or anybody else any longer,
admit frankly the lacts, and confess that we have
wasted our opportunities. llftt instead of making
investments during the past decade, we have wanton
ly wasted our substance for things that are gone, never
to return.
Now that we are brought face to face with the real
issues, shall we continue in our folly; shall we starve
here, or will we arise to the line opportunities that
surround us on every side? Therejfcuyet time for us
to redeem ourselves. We still have our schools ahd
our roads, even though we still owe for them. We
will be able to pay for them, if we will only stop the
flood of cash we have been throwing into channels
from which there is no hope for returns, except per
haps some immediate pleasure.
If the survey goes (ar enough it will show that there
are thousands of families who are practically depend
ent on charity for bread to eat They have exhausted
all their credit; they can no* borrow; they can find
no employment.

We have scores of children who, the law say*, must
to school, but who are unable to go because they
have no clothes fit to wear nor books to study,
these conditions confronting us, some wisdom must be
shown to change them.
Be Specific, Governor
Governor Gardner is getting to be quite "spunky"
in his declaration for economy. We are, of course,
with the governor to a large extent. Bgt we had
rather See Turn point out the exact places in which he
wants rcttenchment. *
He does not say whether he wants us to pay less
for caring for the insane, or the deaf and dumb, or
the blind; nor for the educational institutions or the
penitentiary; nor did he suggest a reduction in the
appropriations'for the agricultural or public health de
partments; and, so far, we have heard of no sugges
tion of lower salaries, although salaries are much
higher than they were ten yeasr ago. So far as we
know, there is not an official salary in the State, of
North Carolina that is not from 10 to 40"" per cent
higher than
applies to every office in almost every county in the
State. 8 t*'' ■
If the governor will only tell us where he wants to
retrench we will '.hen be in position to say whether
we are with him or not. But, byway of suggestion,
we are frank to say that if he wants to take anything
from the deaf, dumb, blind, insane, or health depart
ments, we are against him. However, if he wants to
slice down some of the salaries, we would look with
favor on his economy program.
Too Much Tobacco Again
Unless all signs fail, farmers are going to plant an
other big crop of tobacco, and doubtless they will have
the same low prices frown on them again in the com
ing fall.
The farmers can make no greater mistake than to
plant a large acreage of tobacco and have to place it
on a glutted markets
The farmer should remember that tobacco is a very
expensive crop and that a big acreage nearly always
means poor quality.
Taxes Not Entirely To Blame
The Hon. H. S. Ward is doirtg the most popular
thing that has been done since the day when Zacheus
climbed the sycamore tree. He is cursing taxes. There
has never been a day that it was not the popular thing
to do.
We are as anxious as Mr. Ward to see taxes low
ered, especially on property that does not earn a profit
—such as farm land.
However, it we would only stop and figure accurate
ly for the past ten years, we would find that paying
taxes is not responsible for all of our ills. Indeed,
that it is the cause of but few of them. If we had
levied no tax at all we would be just as "broke" as
we are. Our taxes, our charities, and our religious ex
penditures have been only a small fraction of the total
amount we have spent.
The truth is we are so independently democratic
that we don't like to have todo anything, especially pay
taxes. Vet we like to spend as freely as we please
for things worth far less than our tax benefits.

• ■
Famous Medicine Rapidly Becoming
Household Word Throughout Amer
ica—24 Carload* Sold in 25 Days in
27 States—Overwhelming Demand
the One Great Outstanding Proof of
Its Wonderful Merit.
•
Most medicines are sold by the do*-
enjtfr by the gross. A few are sold in
latter quantities, but thinly of a medi
cine that tells in such enormous quan
tities that wholesale dealers are forced
tivbay it in solid carload lots to sup
ply a demand that has been so phe
nomenal as to almost stagger the imag
ination.
That's just what has happened with
Sargon, the celebrated new medicine
that is now sweeping the country like
a great tidal wave. Not only is the
tiade buying it in carload lots, but they
are buying carload after carload, each
car containing over 20,000 bottles of
Sargon and £argon Soft Mass Pills.
Twenty-four carloads in 25 days sold
in only 27 State is the amazing record
made b> >! thcse wonderful medicines.
In the State of California where Sar-j
gon was introduced in April of last
year, it has required 21 carloads to sup
ply the ever-increasing demand in this
pne State alone. Texas dealers re
quired 9 carloads in only four months.
"Phenomenal and bewildering," is
the way one of the big drug jobbers
of the country describes the marvelous
demand for Sargon.
"It's the greatest seller within the
numory of the oldest members of our
organization," said another.
"We are selling more Sargon than
any other ten medicines put together,"
said still another.
And so it is everywhere Sargon has
been introduced. From Coast to Coast
and from the Gulf to the Great Lakes, ,
Sargon is known and honored.
Millions upon millions have used it
and have told other millions what it
lias done for tliem. When suffering
men and women find a medicine that
helps them, they naturally want to tell
their friends about it and in this way
Sargon is fast becoming a household
word throughout America.
