Wait Until The Call Comes > Suicide is a strange thing. Two of the world's most successful men ended their mortal existence during the past week. This would seem to prove that the accumulation of wealth is not success. >~No one seems to know just why men destroy their own lives, if it is because they arc in need, then the poor and hungry would be the ones to kill them selves. But most people who die by their own hands are those who have plenty. It would indeed be in teresting to have a picture of the workings of a man's mind when he contemplates suicide. It must be that the man becomes so engrossed in the things that he undertakes that he forgets his re sponsibility to God and considers himself—both soul and body—free and independent to come and go at will. Or it may be that when men of great ability who have succeeded in their own efforts lose their power to face the forces of nature that carry men to their long home when the curtains of night begin to darken. , It would seem best if we all could realize that our greatest duty is the preservation of our lives in the way that our Maker would have us do until our call comes. .. Pay As You Go What is the difference in cash and "on time." Imagine a merchant, a farmer, or any other man, going into business at 21 years of age, and going on from year to year for 40 years—all "on time." Can he expect to succeed? It evidently costs from 25 to 33 per cent more to do business on credit than it does for cash. If it does, then the man who trades "on time" through life gets only three-fourths as much for his day's work as the man gets who pays cash. At that rate the time man only gets 30 years' income for 40 years' work. The merchant who pays cash for his goods, the laborer, and the farmer all stand in about the same proportion when they have to seek credit. The schools should, establish a "pay as you go" branch as a part of the regular educational course. Evety child should be taught that a "time-trader" is half a slave and that no man, no family, no com munity, that goes through life on credit can expect much advancement above slavery. The factory that has to borrow money to produce goods to sell to the merchant who has to borrow mon ey to buy them; the merchant who has to trust them to the landlord, who, in turn, dishes them out to the tenant, .who is the fellow tfyat doesn't get much. There is another sad feature to this picture: When the tenant fails in" production or in prices, he breaks the landlord, who breaks the merchant, who breaks the manufacturer, and he smashes the bank. Altogether, "time" business is bad business. It keeps men's noses to the grindstone and finally breaks them in the end. When business is good, we can get too much credit, and when it is bad we can't get enough. "Pay as you go" is the best slo|an any man can adopt. Crowing Similarities It has never been so difficult to distinguish be tween Democrats and Republicans in the National Congress as at the present time. Some members of both these parties apparently desire to help the folks, while other members belonging to the same two ma jor parties apparently wish to bow humbly together to the big business interests. We certainly admire a Congress that prefers a high tax on big incomes rather than a heavy tax on ' the food hungry children eat. . More and Larger Profits Cigarette taxes declined $25,000,000 last year, but the drop did not hurt the manufacturers, for they made more than ever before. IV American Tobacco Company, with its two 4 million dollar-a-year president cleared more than $46,000,000 in 1931. The sum-was so large that the bif borne. In the high circles are quarreling over the qyiih. Pie combined-act earnings of the American and &. J. Reynolds companies just about equal the IWB experienced by the tobacco farmers of the United States last year. Yet, there are politicians who think it Uttle less than a sin to tax then. lfe : . f • Japan's Final Grab The United States could probably call Japan away from China almost with one stroke of the pen. Japan does not want to swallow the Orient all at nn» pfa PoufcjjteM if th* United States would say to Japan, "Yffii ran *"»»» Philippine Talanna all for your own—that is, her land for use, and her peo ple for slaves," she would be willing to call her armies from China and celebrate the occasion. After which she would doubtless train her Japanese and Philip pine soldiers and grab the whole of China. Japan is like Germany once was. Possessions and not peace is what she wants. All this peace talk has spurred her up for a grab before intelligence, love, and honesty announce of cruel war. Clean Campaign Needed Politics seem to be warming up some along sena torial lines. The Hon. Cameron Morrison, who is now holding the seat, recently came back to the state to defend himself against the harsh accusations of the other three aspirants for the office', T. C. Bowie, R.-R. Reynolds, and Frank D. Grist. Senator Morrison has always been able to defend himself in every fight he has had. While in the Sen ate, Mr. Morrison has stood squarely with the people in all matters coming before that body. Mr. Grist, who is now commissioner of labor, has made a very vigorous campaign. We need a type of political campaigning that gives the public the true facts and which does not seek to arouse the prejudices and passions of the people. Fair play and truth are not only what the people need, but it is what they want. t —"""" An Honest Man for Each Office The people who read and keep posted on North Carolina politics do not like the idea that some office holders have of trying to tell them who to vote (or in the primaries. It is rather offensive to have a man who is draw ing a regular salary of a hundred or two dollars per month to lay down their jobs and go through the land telling the folks who to support for governor. All the folks want is a good honest man for each office. In fact they are more interested in that than they are in supporting some other fellow's special friend. Now is a good time for the folks to think for them selves and stop following the pleading of politicians. Blaming It On Somebody Else Lots of talk is going the rounds about how to make the banks safe. The talk is coming rather late for this generation, because the money is gon6, and the outlook now is that it will be many years before we have much money. • . . . • Of course, many banks have gone under—some from stealing, some on the account of shrinkage in values. Yet the thing that is more out of joint than anything else in the whole universe is the folks themselves. While the people are generally anxious to charge all their ills to somebody else, the fact remains that nearly every man's financial downfall can be traced to his own door. Through greed, inexperience, or per haps bigotry, men have imagined themselves capable of handling big business and have jumped in, never to rise again. "" *' . - —A—_ We will have money in a few years, if w e will work and save. Reduction Efforts Appear Fruitiest Sampson Independent. , —— 'Be it remembered that last fall, 'long about cotton picking time, there was much talk about reducing the cotton acreage for 1932. In fact, some of the cotton growing states w/fft so far as to call special sessions, of their respective legislatures to pass laws which would prohibu the farmers from planting more than b stated number of acres to the horse. Pressure was brought, upon Governor Gardner to call a special ses sion of the North Carolina lawmakers for that pur pose. Texas was among the first of the states to pass dras tic acreage reduction laws. And now comes the news, by way of word brought from New Orleans, where a meeting of cotton men was recently held, by Mr. U. Benton Blalock, president of the American Cotton Cooperative Association, that there is no indication of a reduction in the cotton acreage this year from that of 1931, not even in Texas. ■v Mr. Blalock thinks a reduction in the amount of fertilizers which the farmers will be able to buy, to gether with what the boll weevil may be expected to v do, are the only hopes for a reduction in the cotton production. He Mates there is nothing on the hori zon at present to indicate prices for this year's crop will .be materially higher than for that of last. After all is said and done, it would appear that an act of providence is the only hope for' a reduction in the amount of cotton and tobacco, regardless of the price. Can't Eat Tobacco "Tobacco has commanded starvation prices during the past several seasons, and the only thing the far mer could do was sell at whatever price he was of fered. Eggs are cheap now, but the poultry raiser can sell for the price offered or eat them himself. Eggs and chickens and hams are going to be just as good to eat next year as they are now, and the farmer raising chickens and pigs is going to have something to sell if prices are high and somethng good to eat if prices are low. He might not get rich, but it is certain that he will not starve. Now if we have another large crop of tobacco, and the manufacturers write "pus" on the tags, we get nothing. Farmers should remember to take care of themselves first and the tobacco companies second.
