PATIENCE REWARDED
Patience has proven a virtue in our
1 present General Assembly, with a
large number of representatives and
senators giving two months of their
time —and most of them paying their
own expenses. They have heard the
cry of the people for relief and have
held out with patience —and have
finally won the victory.
We can no longer say that all pol
iticians forsake their people, for we
can see a majority of our 170 legisla
tors who have kept the faith.
Their patience will evidently
prove a virtue. It has shifted a part
of the burden of taxation.
Who Should Pay the Taxes
The land owners do not mind paying taxes .They
are used to it. and they have always done it since the
establishment of our State. 'All they are kicking
about now is that they can not pay them, and are
losing their homes for the taxes due on them.
The farmer never would have opened his mouth
againsflhe payment of taxes if he could have had
the hundredth'part of the prosperity that the tobacco
factory is enjoying. ,
The landowner is not to be blamed for trying to
get his rich neighbor to take some of the heavy load
off of him. „ „
The luxury manufacturers, such as Coca-Cola and
tobacco, are the fellows who have made the money.
They ought to pay the taxes.
News Sources Important
Who is responsible for this so-called "Sir Walter
News Bujeau ? That is, who-is* responsible for the
reliability of the news it sends mu
lt is said that the Sir Walter is headquarters for
the "lobby bureau," and from the sundry items ap
pearing in some Eastern Carolina newspapers with
"Sir Walter News Bureau" credit lines, it sounds very
much like soup drained from a lobby kitchen. Or it
may be a special hash .sent out to feed the ordinary
voters. ,
*> It is a fine thing for the newspapers to buy news
already fried up ready for consumption, providing,
however, that news is the honest truth
Interest Rate Lowered
Well, at last comes the announcement that banks
are going to reduce interest rates. Not, however, on
what they charge, but interest they have to pay.'
Where they have been paying 4 per cent on time
deposits, they will, in the future, cut the rate to i
per cent. «• —*
Of course, it makes no difference to most folks,
because they do not have any money to deposit.

A Silver Lining
There seems to be some good in everything. Even
the present legislature has held our attntion and kept
us from brooding ovr our other troubles.

Raise Plenty of Hogs
Eastern Carolina hog raisers have suffered heavy
loss in the past because meat packers have cut prices
on peanut-fattened pork.
Of course, all people know meat fattened on pea
nuts is equal in every respect in value to that fattened
with other feeds.
The famous Smithfield hams got their prominence
from peanuts.
Now-, Swift and Company find that by wrapping
meat with cellophane, the peanut meat is equally sat
isfactory to their customers, who formerly would have
nothing except the hard-fattened m.'at.
Now is the time to put in plenty of peanuts, beans,
and jxitatoes to fatten all the meat the family will
need during the coming year, and a little spare meat
and lard is a fine thing to buy sugar, coffee, and flour
with. A farmer Who fails to raise his own meat sup
ply, under ordinary circumstances, is a poor farmer.
Shortened Highway Distance
The New York-Florida highway distance has just
been shortened 130 miles, according to a statement
published by the Pennsylvania Railroad.
This has been accomplished by quick ferry service
from Norfolk to Cape Charles, and at a cost of only
$2.50 for an automobile.
This will greatly increase the traffic on Route 30.
We usually call the railroads selfish, yet in this case
we see the Pennsylvania system advertising for mo
tor traffic along highways that parallel their own
tracks from Norfolk to New York, which will certainly
cut their passenger load.
When the traffic tide begins to flow as it doubtless
will, it will call for more restaurants, sandwich shops
and gasoline stations along the line.
Real Estate Tax Burden
*
The weight of the real estate tax on individuals and
municipal governments, which has been a lively issue
during the present session of th Massachusetts Legis
lature, is a problem by no means for this Common
wealth alone. The institute's review contains a com
pilation from United States Census data showing
that in all municipalities of more than 30,000 popula
tion in 1927 general property taxes provided 64.1
per cent of all revenue. The balance, 35.9, came from
a great variety of sources, differing greatly in dif
ferent States and between different municipalities in
the same State.
In spite of all the complaint that has lately been
voiced in respect to the overtaxing of busines, indus
try and wealth in Massachusetts, it is apparently true
that the percentage of revenue derived from real es
tate in this State is fully as great as in the country
as a whole. In Springfield, for example, it is percep
tibly greater, the figure for 1930 being 67.4, or about
8,700,000 out of total revenues from all local and
State sources of about $12,905,000. If in Massachu
setts the distribution to the municipalities of income
and corporation taxes is exceptionally large, in other
States special taxes of other kinds are levied for such
relief of real estate as is possible.— Springfield Re
publican, - *
Duel Almost To Death
If it is any consolation,, the South Carolina legisla
ture is in as great a deadlock as the Tar Heel legis
lators. When an atempt is made to relieve the bur
dened many and compel the favored few and the lux
ury users to |»y their fair share of the cost of gov
ernment, there is always a duel almost to the death.
The Special Interests in South Carolina (particu
larly Tower) and the S|iecial Interests in North Caro
lina (particularly l'ower and Tobacco) are responsi
ble for both deadlocks,
The people never get a fair deal except through
travail and sacrifice. They can win in North Caro
lina only by self-sacrifice of legislators who are physi
cally and financially almost exhausted.
The Special Interests care only*for exemption, im
unity, and favors,,and they'll secure them at any and
every cost. , .
The issue is Privilege vs. the People. Nothing less,
and if the People surrender now, the shackles will re
main on them.— News and Observer.
No Prosperity Until Conditions Change
We know of one [lartiiularly fine farm in North
ampton that rents for $2,500 a year and the tax on it
is $2,400 a year, leaving one hundred to pay insur
ance, upkeep of buildings and other necessary ex-
I lenses and for profit for the owner. This is not an
isolated case. A large number of farms m North
ampton, one of the finest farming sections of the
State, would not rent for enough ty pay the taxes
charged against them. I hey hive become a liability
instead of an asset. There can be no prosperity so
long as this condition \&sAs.—Roanoke-Ck»wan Times.

3 DAYS AS COUNTY WARDEN
♦
On September 2nd I was appointed
deputy fish and game warden. Aa that
was the date fur the tobacco market to
open. I did not begin my work until
the next day.
On Wednesday morning at 4:00 o'-
i clock I loaded my pistol; pinned my
badge on and with an air of impor
tance, I started in the direction where
I had heard a lot of shooting.
Arrving at 'this piece of woods before
day break, I hid myself in the thick
bushes behind a tree that had been
blown up, to await the arrival of the
hunters. As I was drowsy from arising
so early, 1 soon fell asleep. Later I
awake with a feeling that someone
was sending off dynamite all about
me. When I looked up and peeped
over the log, I saw one of my best
friends shooting almost over my head,
at two little squirrels. I did not move
for fear he would see me. Soon he
went and I started for home,
thoroughly disgusted with my mor
nings, work. Thinking it would never
be the right thing to report my friend,
I passed this offence up. That after
-1 noon I went out again just about two
miles from the morning scene. I was
tired so I sat down beside a hickory
tree. While sitting there I counted si*
squirrels in one hickory tree, carry
ing nuts in, for winter use. It soon be
l gan raining and I was thoroughly wet
j but I stayed on until the rain passed
off. Then my same friend came in
sight.'He shot the squirrels I had been
i watching, then came to the tree to
! pick them up. Again I did not let my
' self be known, but I felt like that man
j was really getting more than his share|
lin one community. Still I felt as if
1 could not report my best friend for
1 hunting out of eason.
, ,
I The next days hunt was a repetition
of the first. No matter which route I
took my friend was sure to be hunting |
there. The climax came the next day.j
when I went to my friends watermelon
patch and corn ield. I hid myself 11
thought, to watch for the fishermen
who had been getting the melons near
the creek where they fished. My same
friend soon came to his field and as
I was not hidden from his sight. He
soon saw. me and thought I was some
one getting his melons. As soon as I
saw his gun, I moved on into the
thickest part of the woods. He was
right after me, but I managed to get
out of sight, and I went home. I was
thoroughly disgusted with my job, so
I immediately sent niy-badge with my
resignation to the county warden.

NEED 4H CLUB IN
ALL SECTIONS
Offers Good Training in
Practical and Economical
Methods of Agriculture
e
The 4-H clubs conducted in North
Carolina by the home and farm agents
offer the rural boy and girl an un
equalled opportunity for training in
better farming and home-making and
in the development of sound citizen
ship.
"Club work not only offers good
training in practical and economical
methods of agriculture end home-mak
ing but it also gives excellent courses
in organisation, cooperation and lea
dership,'' says L. R. Harril,, club lea
der at State College. "The agricultural
exteneioa service, through iu system
of farm and home agents, offers ins
truction and training in practically
every phasa of farm and home life.
The matbod used are modern and
practical- For cxmapie, the corn club
member-is taught by demonstration,
the fundamental principles of econom
c com production." •- _ *. 1
Along with this, says Harrill, he
learna the value of good seed; field »e
--lectioa of seed; proper cultural me
thods; selection and showing of corn
exhibits; the importance of a balanced
fertilizer, and the keeping in systema
tic records.
In the club programs, the members
learn parliamentary procedure and the
best methods of conducting a meet
ing. Through the community projects,
the members learn the value of coo
peration in putting over a community
project and thereby building up a bet
ter spirit of community cooperation.
At the club camps, the boys and girls
come into contact with others from
all sections of the county and from va
luable contacts for the county as a
whole. In a similar way, those who
attend state and national camps have
their perspective widened.

A bottle of Kruschen Salts that lasts
4 weeks costs but 8S cents at Clark's (
