Starving for the Power ol Exchange
Babsi n, the w'uk-ly-known economist, is right when
, he says that ihe money of this c mntry is a'l locked
up and doing no one any good. Hanks have filled
their vaults liecause of the fear of a run on them by
panicy depositors. It is certain, that large sums out
side of banks have been buried from the world.
There is no earthly need for such a condition which
is largely the result of mental fright. If the public
mind was nonhal. business would be fair.
The people are wand ring around, trying to find
something to blame their troubles on, and of course,
they have found some things to charge them up to
Such as taxes, schools and similar costs. But they
have missed the main hole in the whole situation.
Our own prodigal acts that have carried us so far
that we spent all"we had and mortgaged our future
are responsible for conditions as we find (bent at the
present time. We owe" much money and the fellow
holding the |ia|K-r or claim is in a strain and unable
to carry us longer. The few who have money are
hiding it, leaving no cash in circulation. What we
need to do is put our money in the hands of the ex
changers, and then tiling w>uld brighten up. We
have the food, the clutHing and the merchandise, yet
we are starving to death because wf have "little |M>W
er of exchange -
There are those who are taking care of their money
in old trunks and rthe; hiding places, but that prac
tice is inviting to the thief and roblier and one of the
two might .get it yet. We have got to come out and
keep business hel|>s us.
Things To Do This Year
Things to do this year:
Plant less cotton. Reduce the acreage Of tobacco
at least 25 j>er cent. I'lant more corn, |*>tatoes, pea
nuts, legumes, hay and some clover. It. will cost less
money and require less work. Hut the best part of
all is'that the small crop of cotton and tobacco will
sell for more money.
■-Oof-prosperity is planted in the field and there
is where we will have to go to dig it out.
A" few good things to have in every family .are
chickens, milk, butter, meat, potatoes, corn, field
and garden vegetables. All of these can l»e produced
abundantly on any farm in this county, and-the com
bined use of these things will keep peop'e healthy
and happy. It will require less work to live that way
than it will to raise something to sell to get money
and buy them back and have all Ihe jirofits gouged
out of you on Iwith the things you sell and the things
you buy..

Must Save Road to Freedom
Cripple the public schools and march civilization
down to Babylon is the route mapped for the people
by some.
We are in full sympathy with the demand for a
; more rigid economy in every department of our
; government. All salaries from the governor's on
down should be adjusted to conform with the string
| ency of the times. But we are not in sympathy with
j the howl from a generation of people who have spent
I their .fortunes in the folly and fun of the day, mak
ing demands that our governmental institution I*
1 shaken down and torn asunder. It has required
i many centuries to establish our organized govern
ment and society has woven into our system all the
j' best thought and experience of the past until every
| man has his equal show in all of our public govern
j mental departments, which embraces the most intel
| ligtnt citizen.as well as the most humble one. We all
lienefit from the same school system. We all walk
the same roads. We all use the same courthouse.
Now m ist we desert all these and drift down toward
j ihe dark ages?
Only twelve years ago, land was sitting on the
ihront of prosperity. Now it is trailing the dust of
i poverty. Abolishing or materially weaking our
schools will not raise it from the dust, but will drag
ii further into the mire; for. the seat of our trouble,
toda* resulted because the owners of stocks and
bonds have more education than the owners of land.
The owners of stocks and bonds in North Carolina
have made by outrading the landowners of the State,
many times more than all their taxes. What the
average citizen needs is sufficient knowledge to hold
up his end in a trade.
Now is the time for the'common people to fight.
v They are already being held down by wealth. They
should demand an education at the hands of wealth.
If taxes can !«• evenly distributed, and they certainly
should be, it will not lie a burden on anybody.
I he man who demands the crippling of our schools
is only helping to drive oijr children down to Baby
lon. I'he Prodigal Son had too much sense to cut off
the road that lead back to the palace of his father.
Now the people of North Carolina may be jxior
and hungry, but they must not cut off their only
| road to freedom—the free public school.
"If Wintef Comes"
I ' . "... '
i ** * v
If winter comes spring cannot be far behind,"
reads a novel of more than usual interest which was
publi hed some years ago.
\nd Roger Babson came forth recently with the
statement that the "frozen assets" about which we
have heard so much, will eventually thaw out.
I'ite famous statistician says:
"Although these Eskimo banks are covered with
snow, most of them—if given a chance—will emerge
Vigorous and active when the spring time of improv
ing business again melts the congealed assets.
"It is up to every community to give support and
i encouragement to its local banks in these times."
\\ c h i.eve Mr. Babson is wrong however, when
he says that the millions of depositors in closed banks
in ihe I'nited States "become pessimists of the worse
sort."
Right here in Kdenton we have seen some mighty
good sfxirtsmanship among depositors in the Citizens
Bank. One of them, who is also a stockholder in the
bank, said yesterday that he was "willing to do any
thing to help the situation out."
He is going on with his business hopefully and as
it nothing hail hap|>ened.
But going back to Babson. He suggests that cham- i
hers of commerce, Rotary clubs and other organiza
tions form vigilance committees to "spike every ma
licious rumor about its banks and to make a business
and social outcast of every tale-bearer!"
fortunately for this section there is a small per
centage of those who insist on stepping on the gloom '
