Friday, January IS, 1932 Raskob and Whisky t ————. Says Mr. Raskob to the Democratic Party: "Let me hand you some of the most wonderful whisky that ever drove the skeleton from the feast of painted landsca|K*s in the brain of man; "It is the mingled soul of wheat and corn; "In it you will find the sunshine and shadow- that chased each other over billowy field, the" breath of June; the carol of the lark, the dew of the night, the wealth of summer and autumn s rich content, all golden with imprisoned light. "Drink it, and you will hear the voice of men and maidens sing in the "Harvest Home," mingled with the laughter of children; ' "Drink it, and you will feel within your blood the starred dawns, the dreamy, tawny dusks of perfect iSy't**' "Since Volstead and the new constitution, it has been confined within staves of oak, longing to touch the lips of man." Says the Democratic Party to Mr. Raskob: "keep your wonderful whisky, the greatest curse that ever brought a skeleton in the closet or painted scenes of lust and bloodshed in the brain of man; "It the ghost of wheat and corn, crazed by the loss of their natural bodies; "In it you will find a transient sunshine chased by shadows as cold as an Arctic midnight, in which the breath of June grows icy and the carol of the lark gives place to the foreboding of the raven; "Drink it and you will have woe, sorrow, babbling and wounds without cause; "Your eyes shall behold strange women and your heart shall utter perverse things; • ' 't "Drink deep and you shall hear the shrieking voices of demons, women wailing and all orphaned children mourning the loss of a father who yet lives; "Drink it deep and long serpents will hiss in your ears, coil themselves about your neck and seize you With their fangs; "At last it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder. "For years this liquid death has been outlawed. If you put it in your mouth it will Steal your brains. We are the friends of the people." Mr. Raskob's platform came from a letter by Robt. G. Ingersoll. That of the Democratic Party came from a letter by Dr. Jas. M. Buckley. Choose ye, this day, master.

This is a great record and speaks for itself. The building and loan associ ations have been cramped of course because people did not put as much in them as in good years, and a good many people got in a tight place and had to draw out their savings. For this reason the associa tions have not beer able to lend as much money for building as they have lent. A great deal of money has been put tin postal sav ings and government bonds. If even half of this money had been put in building and loan stock it would have been a fine thing. There are lots of peo ple who would like to build homes but they cannot borrow the money. If they could get the money, folks would build and this would give work to labor ers, carpenters, bricklayers, painters, plumbers and everybody that helps to build a house. Building would increase the demand for lumber and' brick and this would start up the saw mills and brickyards, thus giving many more people employment. Nothing would help more to do away with the depression than a big revival of building all over the county and in this desirable revival the building and loan associa tions can play a tremendous part.— Beaufort News. We Know a Merchant We know a merchant here who has an abundance of faith in the future, a firm belief that this section is on the verge of staging a "come-back," and an abiding confidence in his friends and fellow citizens. We know another merchant who has no faith in the future—but then, he never has, in good times or bad. He doesn't have a firm belief that this section or the nation is on the verge of staging a "come-back." Gall and brimstone are more to his liking as fetishes. He has no abiding confidence in his friends and fellow citizens. W r e suspect that once upon a time one of his patrons must have left town owing him $1.98, and failed to come back. We like the goods of the first merchant. His cloth has the appearance of being all wool and a yard wide. The feel of his wares is solid.— Edenton Daily News. War Between Money and Men Wars have existed throughout the ages. There have been many kinds of wars, even the War of Rose#. Vet, no history records a war more cruel and unjust than the one we are now having—the war between money and men. It is true that cities have been be seiged in former times and their inhabitants starved into submission and forced to surrender. Now our business organizations have grown so powerful and have exerted so great an influence upon the country that the people are on actual starvation. The money and influence of all the people have been grabbed by a few organized gangs of manipulators. And now the few have complete contral of virtually everything in the entire country, while the masses are groping in poverty and slavery. The battle seems to be near the breaking point, and the question is, will the people continue the fight 'for their liberties and equality or will they sell them selves* out and their future opportunities for a mess of pottage, see their liberties vanish and suffer the rule of the money gods as in the "days of Egyptian bondage? The war is raging. Money has fixed the price of all products and the voice of the people has no influence over the fruits of their labor. Natural resources have been gobbled up by big combinations, and the time will no doubt soon come when man will not be permitted to breathe the free air if in so doing it happens to interfere withe operations of the radio trust. >*. Our government has passed tqo much of its power over to big business. It has lost its power over the circulating medium, and the bankers' trust is fast destroying the liberties of the people.
