Tuesday, May 5, 1931 Danger Even in Confined Criminals The criminal and the immoral elements of our coun try are becoming a greater menace each day. Partly, of course, because of the easy access and opportunities of committing crime and then running away from it. All these things have instilled the spirit of boldness and impudence in the criminal that is hard to reckon with by legal authorities. The minute a man or wo man gfets in prison, they demand more comforts and rights by far than the average Citizen enjoys. Men and women who have to be removed from the free dom of society because of their immorality and mean ness immediately become revolutionists arid l>egin to destroy, burn and menace the public property, even endangering their own lives. It is hard to figure the cause of such a spirit unless it comes from the great army of lawbreakers who have set up a sort of invisible kingdom of satan, and when one of their number gets caught they seem to be heartened by the knowledge that they have mil lions of their own class outside who rejoice every lime the laW, honesty, and decency gets a stab. We are at least convinced that criminals, when con\ fined, are more dangerous than they used to be. No Prosperity While Trusts Dominate r We can not come back so long as all business is consolidated in a few hands, and all the other folks are hirelings -a condition that has grown like magic in this country within the past 25 years, until now there are comparatively few people who march to their own work in the morning. They march, march, to a job. if "they are fortunate enough to have one, which is cut and made by New York financial mon archs, who figure a man just as we do a mule. When we buy him, we figure the cost of feed, the size of his load and the distance he can carry it in a day. The same thing is dolie in the case of the laborer. The financier lays down an iron rule, hooped with steel, on a basis that he has to produce dividends or quit the field, and when things get fight and the chil dren get hungry, the men get desperate. Before this country gets on a |>roper basis of safety we must get back where every man is free to work for himself and not be under the lash and yoke of trusts and combinations. Still After Bishop Cannon The politicians and liquor folks are always growl ing about churches in politics. We are at a loss to know what would become of the race if the rynning of government was turned over to the politicians and liquor folks. We do not blame the liquor interests to hate the church. It is its nature and it is nothing new. The devil hated righteousness from the dating of our earliest history. The liquor folks have been trying Bishop Cannon for two years. They have so far failed to show any wrong, except that he did buy some stock through a stock broker. But liquor would crucify him. The very same spirit that crucified Christ will crucify any man who stands against liquor and its baneful influ ence on the body, mind, and morals of man. They crucify our laws and constitution daily. * —— • - -*" . 11 T PLAN TO GROW MORE PEANUTS Peanut Growers of County Expect to Increase Crop By 31 Per Cent Peanut growers throughout the country report intention* of increasing the acreage to be planted alone to! peanuts about 31 per cent above the' 1930 harvested acreage ,it was learned here yesterday. However, the harvest-; e4 acreage of peanuts has tetided to he slightly less than the acreage in-' die* ted by growers' intentions. Theae reports indicate increases in all at the important States, but the haavieat increase is reported in the Southwest, where a 57 per cent in crease in plantings is indicated. The 1911 intended acreage exceeds the harvested acreage for . 1930 by about JJ per cent in the Southeastern States and fay about ID per cent in the Virginia-North Carolina section In view of the prospective increase in the numbc/ of hogs is the South- The managers and owners of swimming boles, hot dog stands and dance pavilions have started up their line of free advertising by getting newspapers to run news stories of their splendid amusements. This newspaper feels that in view of the present financial distress, it is better to advise everybody to conserve their money and morals, rather than attempt to draw their thoughts to places where there is at least some danger of losing or weakening both. There is plenty of good safe fun nearer home than a hundred miles. And this is the day to watch our waste. Bucket Shop Swindlers Beginning To Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in a recent address, called the attention of his hearers to the fact that the bucket shop and other kinds of stock swindlers are still with us. Thes gen try flourished mightily for a few years, but the col lapse of the stock market in 1929 stopped their activ ities for a time at least. They are now beginning to send out their circulars and telephone calls, and when the depression is over they will be as busy as ever trying to separate the unwary but hopeful speculator from his bank account. The desire to make large profits quickly is what makes a good many people bite at the bait offered them by swindlers. It is gambling, of course, and foolish gambling at that. It is a game in which only one side has a chance to win. Those who want to gamble had better try their luck playing poker or betting on a horse race, where they do have some chance of winning. It is hard enough to make money speculating when one deals with a reputable broker age house. There, is no chance whatever when one deals with the rascals who carry on their business in under-cover Ways. At present there is not much speculating of any sort going on because not many people have any surplus money to use that way. The time will come, though, when people will have funds for investment and when crooks will be as alert as ever to fleece them.— Beaufort News. Upon the question of extending time for pay- ment of 1930 taxes to November the first by order of the commissioners of the various counties, two im |K>rlant factors figured—wisdom and sympathy. Those who have paid taxes already feel that, to some extent at least, it is unfair for the county to have to borrow and pay interest because others have not paid. On the other hand, there are large num bers of taxpayers who are unable to pay their taxes; and even if land should be sold, the county would have to purchase it and would therefore receive no money until the expiration of 30 months. While the extension would seem to pile up two taxes on the people at one time—that is, the 1930 and 1931 taxes yet they say' that with the relief from the six-months school.tax, which is now to be borne by the State, and the relief from road taxes, they will only have to pay about half as much this year as last. The bill, which was introduced and sponsored by Senator li. S. Peel, of htis district, deferring advertis ing and selling land for the 1930 taxes, whether right or wrong, certainly has the approval of a very large number of people. The alleged prophet who passed through Martin County a few months ago saying "no more rain after the first of May for three years" missed his predic tions, because it rained both May Ist and May 2nd. • Of course, all sensible people know he was noth ing more than an ignoramus and a liar, yet many people had fears and apprehensions. His game was to draw money from those who had fears that they had not xdone their full duty in life and thought by giving to the prophet (false) it might help them in the judgment. It may be hard to get at, yet such cattle touring the country in the name of religion should be re strained in some way. Hut, of course, under our laws, we permit all men to believe and preach whatever they please. In some cases, however, where men are known to preach falsehoods, it is doubtful if our laws should protect them. It is a positive injury to the cause of Christianity for men to go around preaching such falsehoods in the name of God. western and Southeastern Sutes, it is probable that at least a part of the acreage increase has resulted from the need of more feed. But shoul i the acreage to be harvested for nuts be increased at the same rate as is indi cated for the acreage of peanuts planted alone the acreage harvested for nuts in 1931 will approximate 1,- 440,000 acres, or about 9 per cent . greater than the record harvested I acreage of 1929. With yields equal to i the average of the last 10 years, pro j duction in 1931 would be 7 per cent J higher than the record crop of 1929, | for which growers received especially unfavorable prices. However, the car-, j ry-over of old-crop peanuts into the [ 4WI marketing season is expected to be the lowest in recent years. * NOTICE OF RESALE Under and by virtue of an order of resale and authority given me in a deed of trnst executed to me as Trus tee by W.
