Uphold Marriage Sacredness People are Retting better. The refusal of our legislature to make out divorce laws nothing more tlian a petty farce proves it. The enactment of the pro pos it bill requiring only three year*' separation in steScl of five for divorce grounds, would have meant about the same thing that horse-trading means, be caMse.it meant nothing more or less than legalizing swaping lovers at the will of either party,. All "moral forces should commend our legislature for standing for more > sacredness in marriage. Our Tariff Working Well for Others Our attitude toward the tariff has placed us in nations of the old world. They are now building up trade with South America, a business that we once enjoyed Our attitude toward the tariff has placed up in about the same position that selfish children some times find themselves when they become so selfish that other children refuse to play with them. Our tariff laws have become to be so one-sided and selfish that other nations are beginning to. ignore us. What we need to do is establish fair trade ex change with all nations even if we do have to lower tariff duties that are protect ing-*ome of out glut tonous mapufa t uret - United Stares and Russia The I'nited States and Russia come nearer com paring with each other in size, population and re sources than any' other two great nations. We claim perfeit freedm, first class transportation on water, land and in air. the best of machinery and more money than any other country. We say that Russia has no government and is backward in every way. Suppose we look down the bread I nes in our " in fect' country and then turn and look down the bread lines in "imperfect" and despised Russia. And when we do that, we will hase one more thing" to brag about for our bread lines are just about ten times as long as those in Russia. Then suppose we turn to the crime records of the two countries, and when we do that we will find our book ten times as thick as Ru-sia s. When we face the cold facts, we are forced to con clude that we are not telling the whole truth when we say our government is the best and that Russia's gov- ernment is the worst.

SALE OF VALUABLE FARM PROPERTY Under and by virtue of the au thority conferred upon us in a deed of trust exeruted by W. O. Council aad milt, Charlotte Council dn the I4:h day of July 1930 and recorded in Book C-3, page 330. we will on Fri day the 13th day of March 1931 12 o'clock noon at the Courthouse door M Martin County, Williams ton, N. C., 1 Mil at public .auction for cash to the highest bidder, a one half interest in ; the following land to-wit: | Lying and being in Goose Xe»t English and American Mill Owners Mill owners in England are not only wiser but are also fairer than those in America. When the English tried to force workers to increase their duties, 250,- 000 workers refused to obey, and the mill doors were locked. Now the mills are inviting all workers back | at the same wage scale and to the same duties. "The owners jssued the following, statement: "We consider ! ourselves obligated to take a broad, national view of the situation. We realize the inconsistency of the the situation in which we seek to increa|e our orders, j by participating in the textile exhibiton and at the same trhe show the world our folly by continuing a deadlock over a relatively minor in the industry." In America, conditions are different. Soldiers are i gathered to suppress strikers, and owners refuse to confer with laborers. All rules are made in the of fices of the mill owners, and the force of the civil and j military authorities are lent to enforce them. One of our greatest troubles today is the fact that I a money man standslnearer our government than the man without money. / V Everybody know^ there are more avenues for the ' rich to the. push button than there are for the poor. Prosperity Checks Prosperity checks are now very popular, partly be cause we need prosperity and because they work much faster than ordinary money. One,ten dollar check recently paid 2,000 worth of debts in Tarbqro, The man to whom the check was made, endorsed the instrument and immediately paid it to a man he owed, who, in turn, did the same thing, the check finally passing through 200 hands and paid $2,000 worth of debts in a few days. If the owners would put their money to work in a similar manner, half of all the country's private debts could be' cancelled in a week. We would like to see a similar campaign fostered by j?very person who has a dollar and owes it. We choke credit and smother business by holding money in our jMickets when we owe it to some near neigh bor who needs it. We are willmg to start the ball rolling. Any one paying us a dollar is assured that we will haVe it in circulation again within an hour. '■ | lm |||r . .. . „ Get More for Small Production The National Fertilizer association recently re leased figures proving that by the use of fertilizer more profitable crops may be grown. The com puri >; they furnish certainly prove their point. . Then i no doubt about the fact that proper fertil izing is the proper thing to do, but on the other hand when t lie farmer attempts to make too much crop by Ihe i r of fertilizer it prostrates him financially. He iii it i nly loses money farming, but he goes further and 1 sea his land for debt. He is unable to pay for the fertilizer used in making the big crop. 1 he country that has attempted to force crops by high fertilizing is broke today. The use of fertilizer is just one of those things that looks good, but turns j out bad. This L the year to slow up, and use a little less j fertilizer. Give the plants more room and let the seasons and the land have a chance to help the far mer. If we make a small production, we will get more for what we do raise. ■ * ' I Hardly Want A Special Sessiop r - ,* u . ; . j That sjiecial session of Congress will never be call- , ed as Irng as the President, every members of Con gress, the members of the cabinent and a hundred and twenty millions of American people are opposed to it.

Taylor A Good Example i That Story from Lapeer, Mich, telling about five boys who were ar rested for a series of p;tty thefts should be of interest to all fathers and mothers. These youngsters were ordered into court but before the trial the fathers requested the judge to let them have a little talk with the boys. This met with the boys. This met with the approval of. the judge and the boys yere taken io the wood shed and given an old fashion licking, i The judge was satisfied artd put them all on probation. the parents not taken this course the court would probably have sent the lads to a re formatory. Reform schools have a reputation for their failure to bring about re formation. The most advanced ins ! titutions of its kind is after all a prison. And many enters as younsters and leave>as adults with a mark that is very inmates with mentalities be k)w the general level and from them learn for the first time many things that are indeed quite harmful. Sometimes youngsters can I* corrected by little quite talks and sometimes these talks have little ef fect. Probably there are boys in our reform schools today because their j parents did not believe in the old ■ 'maxim "spare the rod and spoil the |child." Parents can do far more for j their wayward lads than any court. But when they fail to do their duty j i the court must take a hand. Once when 1 was a youngster I said some unkind things to one. of , Imy sisters and my father heard me j and gave me a nice switching. I was careful about my remarks after that. | On another occasion he made such an J impression on me that for sometime a I preferred to stand. Then my father , a passed on to another land and I be-, d came bold again. But my older bro-j /i ther would Hot have it so and as !• long as 1 live I will never forget that chase across our cotton [xitch. That ( just about cured me. , ; These little incidents, and in be tween them those christian talks by my christlike mother, have remained with me down through the years. Hollis and H. k.

Shay swine extension specialist at' State College, is seeking to broadcast S over North Carolina this winter. s "There is no mystery in feeding corn e to hogs for a good profit," says Mr. | Shay. "The idea is not patented nor, copyrighted and if the plan of feed-J 5 ing is fotlowed systematically it will 5 make money for the operator. The 1 s corn and hog combination is about thei , only bright spot in North Carolina' ' agriculture this year and beginning with 1931, the system should be made • a permanent part of farming operations I on every farm where as much as 35 3 bushels of corn an acre can be pro- I duced." Mr. Shay points out that 35 bushels of corn should be easy to produce, j None of the 60 or more contestants in I the Atlantic Coast Line 5-acre corn : contest made less than 50 bushels last j season and the 4-H club boys enrolled ' in the Chilean Nitrate of Soda contest l made from 80 to over 100 bushels an i acre by following good methods. Club boys generally doubled the an nual average for the State. This all indicates the ease with which-good yields of corn may be produced. If this corn is hogged down as was done by three good farmers in eastern j Carolina last year it will pay 800 percent increase in profit over the old method of harvesting and selling it as grain.' lit addition, valuable plant food will by left on the soil for build-' ing up the land. Mr Shay has worked out an interesting set of figures show ing how the three men made their profits last season and will send a copy free to any person desiring to begin ( the wyrk this year Me has also pre pared extension circular 181 telling how to feed hogs for profit. This also ' may be had on application. ADMINISTRATORS NOTICE NORTH C AROLINA; MARTIN COUNTY: ——• Having qualified as Administrator, of the estate of S. H.
