Our Only Hope
When folks buy what they actually need and stop
the great outflow of cash going for the things that
we do not need, then things will pick up, and folks
will be able to pay taxes and support the churches.
The schools and churches of the land are our only
hope. If we neglect them, civilization will decay and
the dark ages will return. We ought to earnest
about these great tasks and see that they are not
crowded out of our daily program.
Should Remember This Year
Prices continue to go lower, even with the big short
age of tobacco in the Eastern Carolina belt., Now
that the tobacco is practically all gone, it can easily
be seen that the shortage will almost certainly be far
greater than the former estimates.
Although nearly every farmer thought he had a
gdlid crop when it was taken from the curing barns,
they have been fed up so much, on the warehouse
floors, with "too green," "too blue," "too yellow,"
"too red," "too black," "too mingled," "too speck
led," "too thick," "too thin," "too long," "too short,"
"too dry," "too wet," that they have become discour
aged with the stuff. In fact they fear that this com
mon crop is going to kill all the che,wers the "dippers"
and the smokers when the nasty, dirty, stuff comes,
back to them to use.
Now, the farmers have stood rather quietly by and
taken their dose for this crop. But next year they
are going to go slow in the tobacco business. They
certainly should take this year's experience to heart
and profit by it in the future.

Credit Too Often Abused
When we American people have cash, we have
credit: when we have no cash, we have no credit.
Our credit has often been a curse rather than a bless
ing, because we have abused it so badly.
What we need to do is to establish our credit when
we have no cash, and then when we get cash, main
tain our credit.
The Navy League
What is the Navy League? Is it not an organiza
tion fostered and fed by those who ignore our na
tional welfare, who wish to turn the treasury over to
the exploitations of those who have personal ends to
serve—navy yards, ship builders, munition manufact
urers, and to high officials who want promotions, prom
inence, and money for themselves and their friends?
Is it any more than a bunch of selfish self-styled
safety advisers deliberately trying to direct the poli
cies of the government, taking them from the Con
gress, the president, and the cabinet.
Isn't the Navy League one of the curses of the
country, more interested in selfishness and bigotry
than in j)eace and safety? It is undoubtedly a prod
uct of selfishness, fostered by greed and self-centered
ness, one of its main purposes being to spread false
propaganda to an innocent people in order to make
them hate other folks, and fear them, so that they
may be exploited for war preparations.
Few Know Real Hardships
A majority of the people know very little about the
real hardships of life. They do not know that many
people never have much to eat, and then only the
plainest and coarsest of food. Thousands live in
shacks with cracks between every plank, and sleep at
night without sufficient clothing. Of course, some of
this is on accojht of bad conduct and poor manage
ment. Yet there are many who do their best and
still have to suffer.
A little help goes a long way with them in many
instances. Newspapers that we throw away, when
pasted on walls, keep out cold air and save much
fuel and shivering. Go to your servant's house, and
you will generally find that they are having a hard
time.
We need to know what is going on about us and
help ythers all we can. . \
Japs Should Be Stopped
The nations of the world should not permit Japan
to tantalize China. China is now the most peaceful
and orderly nation on earth—so far as outsiders are
concerned—although she is in many ways the most
powerful. If Japan is |>ermitted to antagonize and
pillage her until she gets her fighting blood up, it
may not be so long before she will march across Eu
ro|>e and set our present governmental arrangements
at naught.
Now is the time to tell the Japs when and where
to stop.

Not Another Warehouse In
Eastern North Carolina
Can Beat Our Record
We have already sold a considerable quantity more tobacco
at our warehouse this season than we sold during the entire sea
son last year. Indications are that our total volume of sales is
going to be more than TWICE AS MUCH as was the total vol
ume last year.
WHY?
Because the farmers of . Beaufort, Martin, Pitt, and other
counties have discovered that NOWHERE can they get any
better sales for their tobacco than at our house. We push every
pile to its maximum limit.
Prices Are Holding Up
Good grades of tobacco are selling well and a number of our
customers this week have made averages in excess of forty
cents. Bring us your next load, and we will guarantee you a
satisfactory sale.
