Should Salaries Be Reduced?
The cry has IH*MI lOUI am) .frequent for salary re
ductions. Now that the legislature is seriously con
skit ri:m ionie action along the line, much objection
is heard. Surely the question should l>e settled with
reason and not as a favor to the taxpayer or as a
punishment to the job holder.
If all things were progressing. \>alaries would not
lie too high. However,, with cotton as low as it was
thirty years ago and tobacco* selling below cost of
production, how can the man who pays the taxes keep
going? It is not fair to sell one nun's land for taxes
to pay another man's salary.
' It can't be argued that school teachers' salaries
are too high, and to reduce them a hardship would
result, no doubt. It is Iwtter, however, to lower
salaries and continue jobs than to close the
schools and lose the jobs. The real danger in re
ducing salaries is likely to present itself when those
teachers who can afford to work for a minimum sal
ary take the places of the better leathers. The re
sult would be a marked blow to the progress of the
schools..
.So far as we know, there isn't, a person in North
Carolina drawing a salary or wages of any kind who
can't get more for ninety tents now than he could
for one dollar two years ago. In many cases, he can
get even more for the lesser sum now if he wants food,
clothing and the other necessities of life.
If the legislature fails to decrease taxes which
means reducing expenses, then the |>eople will In* dis
appointed. ,
The Ancient Malady
One hundred and one years an", last month, Eng
land was in dire straits -or so she believed. War had
sapjied her. taxation seemed heavier than she could
ever l>ear; a public debt larger than all other public
debts of the world combined rested upon her Food
prices were high, and currency depressed.
Truly it was a sad scene, this upon which one
Thomas Babingtun Macaulay, essayist and historian,
commented in the Edinburgh Rtvtnr, But Macaulay,
with a clarity of vision not possessed by many of his
time, set himself tn a comparison 'of that day with
previous days.- He pointed out that the annual
revenue of the country, in 1830, equaled the principal
of the other debt after the crash of 1720. That for
one man with 10,000 pounds in 1720, England had
five men of 50,000 pounds in That the post
office alone [>aid into the exchequer more than the ex
cise and customs combined had 110 years before.
He traced the steady and enormous growth of the
national revenue and debt from 1640 to that day, and
noted the cries of alarm and panic that had ac
companied each increase
"On what principle is it," he asked, "that when we
see nothing but improvement behind us, we are to ex
pect nothing but deterioration before us? ...
"Our rulers," he continued, "will best promote the
improvement of the people by confining themselves to
their own legitimate duties . . . by maintaining peace,
by defending property . . . and by observing strict
economy in every department of the state."*
With the wads of alarmists ringing in our ears to
refreshing and thought-provoking, to hark
back to these hundred-year-old words of Macaulay,
and to realize that the periodic depressions of fortune
have always been and always will be, so logg as the
world stands: that each succeeding one is but a re
ceding breaker in the inflowing tide—a tide that has
swelled steadily since the dawn of the universe, a part
of an omniscient plan; that, as one wit has remarked,
"if the world is going to the dogs, the dogs have had
a long wait ; and that, applying the record of the
PMt, as Macaulay did, to the future, it is evident
that man will continue to move forward to even great
er heights and finer achievements.— Holland's Maga
zine.
NOTICE OF SALE
L nder and by virtue of the power of
•ale contained in that certain deed of
trust executed to the underiigned'
Trustee, securing note of even date
therewith, and tbe stipulations not
having been complied with, and at'
the request of the holder of said bond,
tht undersigned Trustee will, on the
26th day of January, 1931, at 12 o'-
clock, Noon, in front of the Court
house door of Martin County, offer
for sale, to the highest bidder, for'
cash, the following described tracts
Is Clara Bow, the Hollywood star attracting so
much attention in the California courts, a good model
j for our girls?- Sh» My« ihf '« nnl y » modern girl.
I that she drinks, smokes and plays poker besides hav
■ ing temporary marriage engagements to various and
sundry young men.
During the past few years she has drawn hundreds
of thousands of dollars as a fit example for our
daughters to model after. We need not expect much
moral growth and worth-while development when we
pay our money to look at such flappers who apparent
I ly care nothing for modesty and decency. She and
others of her type set the pace and train the mind ol
youjig girls to the same wide road to destruc
tion that they are traveling.
Hollywood is America's greatest liability. Even
Chicago, with all its political graft, gang warfare and
j liquor, does not hurt the country as much as Holly
wood's immorality which is flashed before the eyes of.
the world.

Building and Loan Growth
The first building and loan association was found
ed in Frankford, Pennsylvania, one hundred years
I ago. From this small beginning, this business has
grown to more than 1,200 such associations with
thirteen million members and assets of eight billion
dollars. For the most part building and loan as
social ions have been successful, some of them very
successful. They have helped to save money, build
homes for themselves and help build up their towns.
Besides this they have paid satisfactory rates of in
terest to their stockholders. Everybody who can do
so ought to carry a little building and loan stock. It
is a much better place to put money than to hide it
j around the house for somebody to steal.— Beaufort

"Looking Up, Not Down"
—
The phrase belongs to none other than W. (Bob)
Smith, Ayden. Nearly everybody knows him. Every
body likes him. He is not discouraged at the present
depression, despite the fact that the last decade has
i been extremely tough on him in an economic way.
We asktfl him his opinion as to the outlook for an
an early improvement in the times. It was then that
he confessed that he was looking up. "Hardly ever do
we see pleasant things when looking down," he told
|. us. "Most of all the bright things in this world are
j_ seen when our heads are up."— Pitt County Record.
Extravagance Cause for our Troubles
As high as taxes have been and now are, it is to
be admitted that we have more to show for our tax
money than any we have spent during the past ten
ye irs.
Our roads, our schools, and our public buildings
are all much improved. But . .our houses have not
been painted, our ditches have neither been deepened
or cleared of bushes. Our fences have gone down. We
have increased our mortgage debts; we have spent
our surplus cash, and now about the only thing we
have to for the money we once had (excepting
our tax money) is an old rusty automobile or two in
the back yard, which cost us more than all the taxes
we ever paid.
We do not object to automobiles; we are for tax
reduction and against governmental waste. We are
for truth, however, and don't care to hear all the
blame for our present-day ills charged to the other
fellow. Our own waste and extravagance should be
considered, for therein lies the greatest cause for our
troubles.

Causes for Otto Wood's Career
Nell Battle Lewis, columnist for the News & Ob
server, in the life sketch of Otto Wood, gives the
causes for his criminal career.
His widowed mother took up with another man.
He made his home with a group of West Virginia
moonshiners where his brain was thoroughly saturated
with lawless and murderous talk. At no time in life
was he taught to subdue his passions. His first peni
tentiary term was served in a Virginia prison for se
duction. He was married at one time, but his wife
divorced him. He married again and when imprison
ed a second time, his second wife divorced him. Up
on leaving the penitentiary a second time, he did not
go to the expense of marrying; he just took a wo
man along without ceremony. He stole; he robbed;
he killed, he broke out of penitentaries of three states
ten times in all.
-- ■ ■ ...... —. ■ ■ ■ ■ - ~
At the age of J5 years he was shot and killed, leav
ing two widows and "a woman". Tow of the three
women have a child each; the other has two.
W ood s greatest joy in life apparently came when
he broke the law. An unfaithful mother, moonshin
ing experience- and bad company made a bad man.
Why Delay?
Why should the State Legislature delay a moment
and quibble over a 10 per cent salary cut when* able
bodied men are glad to take a job at one-third of
the price they received five years ago, when farmers,
merchants and millers are doing business at a loan?
No man should oppose keeping the line level.

CAROLINA WOMAN
Lost 47 Lbs.
•
In 3 Months and
Feels Years Younger
"I have been taking Kruschen Salts
for nearly 3 months. I have continued
taking one teaspoonful in warm water
every morning. I then weighed 217
pounds, was always bothered with
pains in my back and lower part of
abdomen and sides.
"Now I am glad to say I am a
well woman, feel much stronger, year.;
younger and my weight is 170 pounds.
I do not only feel better but I look
better, so all my friends say.
"I shall never be without Kruschen
Salts, will pever cease taking my daily
dose and more than glad to highly rec
ommend it for the great good that is in
it." Mrs. S. A. Solomon, New Bern, N
C, Jan. 1930." "P. S. You may think I
am exaggerating by writing such a
long letter but truly I feci so indebted
to yon for putting out such wonderful
sfclts that I cannot say enough."
A bottle of ruschen Salt* that lasts
4 weeks costs but 85 cents at Clark's
Drug Store. Williamston, and drug
gists the world over. Take one half
teaspoon in a glass of hot water every
morning before breakfast.
Attention to diet will help—cut out
pastry and fatty meats —go light on
pi tatoes, butter, cream and sugar—the
ktuschen way is the safe way to lose
fit. 'Try one bottle and i! not joy
fuily satisfied—money back.
