The Mansion and the Hovel ■ Bowman Gray, president of the R. J. Reynolds To bacco company, is installing a private telephone ex change in the palatial home he is building. The ex change is of the automatic type and has fifty t«l#- phones connecting cellar with garret, garret with kit chen, kitchen with parlor and on to the t(>ilet, and play rooms. While Mr. Gray, the president of the great trust, is providing so many comforts for himself and his family, the poor, down-trodden farmers, frojp whom he has taken to much tribute, are having to give up their telephones by the hundreds, because tobacco is so low that the farm family, ten miles out in the county, can't have a telephone to call .the doctor to attend his half clad children when they are sick. It is also re|xirted that Mr. Gray has the most elalwrate bath rooms that money wi|( build, set with ivory and brass, silver and gold. While the Grays have nice places to bathe with sweet rose water flavored with the aromatic spikenard, thousands of wives of farmers who grow tobacco for Mr. Gary's big factory, have to wash their children ir\ rusty tin tubs or carry them to the branch and scrub them with box yle soap. This is a great contrast —the mansion and Hbvel, luxury and poverty. This is not all. Mr. Gray's company has more to do with writing the tax laws of North Carolina than every farmer in the State. The taxes that bear so heavily on the little country farmers make life burdensome, clothing ragged, and food scarce while Mr. Grays to bacco company escapes it just share of the tax. It is to be admitted that if Mr. Gray is smart enough to out-trade the farmers apd get rich off tobacco grow ers, he will also force the prices down on tobacco and at the same time crush them with heavy tax burdens. The big industries maintain their tax experts who are constantly on the job and when the legislature meets they are always present and able to show the usual legislat r, who knows very little about taxation, a way to pass tax'laws that bear lightly on the big wealth of the State.

ASK FOR IT. The Outcome oi the Church Trial Just what will be the outcome of the famous church trial in the superior court of Martin County last week is yet unknown. However, it has doubtless laid the foundation for a harmonious understanding. It held the conditions up for review, and everything was sift ed down to matters of opinion. People on both sides of the controversy are al most all highly regarded. Doubtless a few on each side have talked too freely. Now that they have been brought face to face with each other, they are doubtless convinced that if the matter of friendship for each other is ever fully established the)* will have to do it themselves. Friends are now looking for a reconciliation of "fellows and brothers." The only thing that has apparently aroused the feel ing of outsiders was the firce rebuke of the judge in setting aside the verdict of the jury. Composed of twelve fine citizens of Pitt County, this body patiently sat from early Monday morning untli midnight Sat urday, giving earnest and respectful hearing to wit nesses, lawyers, and judge, after which they gave due and faithful deliberation and rendered their verdict, which was set aside by Judge N. A. Sinclair. Creeds Creeds should never hide the cross; yet, almost any member of the human family is liable to mistake great truths and go entirely wrong in his conclusions. This is often true in religion; men see in every direction. If the charts of the sea gave as many directions as the religious creeds give, very few ships would ever cross the ocean. . ' ' However, we should not judge thsoe who differ with us too harshly, for we may be wrong. We are judged from the things we do and not from the things we be lieve—we are judged by the fruit we bear. We need more patience and meekness in religion, for they are the frtyts of Christianity. Starve Them to Death The Federal Farm Board has been functioning for around nine months, farm conditions being worse now than they were when the Board was created by the President; The relief program is in a bad way, a drop of fourteen points being recorded since President Hoover took office a year ago. Decrease production and starve them to death is the text l>ehim! which the Board is hiding. So many farmers are facing starvation at the present time, that they really believe there is already a shortage, that it is duty to try and raise more. The pro duction decrease cry reaches the ears of people who find it necessary to increase their yields in an effort to have much to sell at a low price in order to pay their taxes. ' * The closer the farmer adheres to the live-at-home idea, the harder he is going to find it to pay his taxes, for ham and bacon alone will not pay silver into the treasury. A small decrease in acreage will mean noth ing, except to the few who limit their crops, and they will suffer because they hav'nt the volume to offset their expenses. The outlook is a gloomy one, reports indicate, but it is safe to say that the manipulators can steal a small crop easier than they can a large one—the size factor bl'ing considered. And it is a settled fact that hunger will have to be felt in the higher places be fore the lowly farmer is considered.

' Aoberson Es- I ta t c , THE B NTERPRISE ADVISES TESTING OF COTTON SEED Farmers who expect to plant cot ton this spring from seed raised in the county last year should have their M?ed tested for germination before planting. On account of the heavy rains last fall, the indicationa are that the germination of cotton seed grown in the county is greatly reduced. A few samples sent to the seed labora tory show germination ranging from| 35 to 66' per cent. The State Depart-, ment of Agriculture maintains a seed. laboratory for testing seed for farm era of the State free of charge. It is to the farmers' interest to take ad vantage of this service. By having your seed tested you will have a bet ter idea as to the amount that should be planted per acre for a stand.' There is too much guesswork about farm ing with many fanners. It ia better to know. In taking a sample for germination test get a handful of seed from sev eral bags and then mix thoroughly and take about 1 pound from this lot to send to the laboratory. Address the sample to The Seed Laboratory,! North Carolina Department of Agri-| culture, Raleigh, N. C. Allow about three weeks for a report on the test. This should be attended to right a way. If you do not have good seed, get in your order in time so you will not be disappointed. Pedigreed seed of adapted varieties have given an aver age of 60 pounds lint cotton per acre greater yield than local varieties be ing planted by farmers in variety tests in the county. ♦ LARGE EGGS Arthur B. Gillam Gathers Two Thai Weigh Nearly Half Pound Editor Arthur B. Gillam, of Wind sor, has a white leghom hen that evi dently believes in ''bigger and better" egga. Since the first of the year this pullet has laid at least a dosen un usually large ones, and this week the editor-attorney gathered two that weighed a total of 7 1-4 ounces, near ly half a pound. The largest of the two measured 8 inches in circumfer ence the long way, and 6 &-8 inches around the small way. This hen Is a direct descendent of a pen that won the egg-laying contest at Holland, Mich., last year. TAKES STEP TO HELP FARMERS Agreement Between Merchant and Farmers Contains Lire--At- Home Feature A departure from the usual proced ure in this section of the State is seen in an agreement between the Lewis ton Supply Co., ownd and managed l>y the, Peel Bi-others in Lewiston, and the farmeis supplied by them. An excerpt from the agreement follows: "'t nat 1 will use. * * * only certified seed for planting; 1 will use every effort possible to raiae provis ions sufficient for my family use; that I will plant acres of corn and truck." As a usual thing, supply merchants discourage the production of any crops other than the so-called "cash cropti," which means- that the farmer will have to buy his provisions and t feed, thereby increasing the business > of the merchant. Mr. Tom Peel, one r of the owners of the Lewiston firm, r stated yesterday that they were not [ furnishing supplies to any farmer un - less he signed the agreement with the | above proviaiona. Such an agreement is real .>p toward helping farm ing conditions i.. w »rtie County, and ultimately, it ia believea, i* will be . included in all contracts between sup -11 ply merchants and fanners.
