Must Be Something Wrong
Students from Northern Colleges who have gone
to,the Kentucky Coal Fields to observe social con
ditions ther e are being closely guarded and sent back,
lest they see or tell something objectionable—that is,
see something that will cause them to turn to, read,
and possibly absorb Communism. So they are being
closely guarded by deputy sheriffs,
s There is evidently something wrong in that mining
district, or the mine owners would welcome a visit
from any and everybody.
There can not be any danger in Communism where
people are getting a fair deal. It is only bred where
men know they are not getting a fair deal.
In the great coal fields, where men know nothing
hut the darkness of the mine, it is pretty easy to keep
them ignorant of their social rights and business op
portunities and force them by the power of their sys
tem into a state of semi-slavery.
A survey of such matters should be made. It is a
good work the young students have undertaken.
Political Promises . 4
One reason why so many folks hate politicians is
because they go out campaigning and promise to do
so many things that are popular but when lifted down
are found to be both impractical and' imjiossible.
All the candidates 1 promise to balance all budgets,
because they know both our state and national budgets
are out of balance. Of course, everybody wants them
balanced, and that makes the candidate populaj.
Then they promise the guaranteeing of all bank de
posits. Everybody wants that, and the candidate gets
cheers. They promise the soldiers all they want, and
of course that gets their votes, even if it would bank
rupt all the other folks. They then advocate the col
lection of all foreign debts, whether the other nations
are able to pay or not, and e ven if we have to starve
them to death to collect it. Well, since we either have
jealousy or hate for everybody except ourselves we
rally to this promise and shout for him.
Then we find some candidates who want to reserve
to North Carolina a good slice of the Federal tobacco
tax, forgetting there are 47 other states just as poor
as we are. And then comes all the promises about
making the rich pay all the taxes and giving the poor
all the blessings. You see, this is done because there
are so many more poor folks than rich; and it has
very little effect on the way the rich vote, because
they know that all election promises have very little
legislative effect. Some of the greatest promisers
soon forget them when they get to Washington and
get their lips on a liquor jug.
•It is unsafe to tie -to- the simple -promises-otpoli--.
ticians. Better watch their works in life.
V " Slow But Sure
Building and loan associations are admitted to be
in better shape than any other investment institutions
in the State.
There is a reason for this, which is, no doubt, that
building and loan associations are not speculative in
vestors and that those, who invest in building and loan
are people of thrift, who are willing to invest in a
small sure profit. . . •
The small sure profits hav e proven best in 99 out
of every 100 cases. Any man who attempts to get
rich in 'less than a lifetime nearly always goes on the
rocks of financial destruction. The youngster who
makes up his mind to work throughout his life and
saves a little as he goes along nearly always wi.nds up
a happier and more fruitful life than the youngster
who tries to scoop up all the gravy at one dip.
The Bankers' Power
The IS'ew York bankers seem to be able to boss
Washington on any matter that they choose.
; Now, they seem to be manipulating credits in such
ways that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
to protect interests that the bankers should rightly
assist -
The New York bankers trust has done more to
destroy normal credit than all other influences put
together. They have made e ver y l )an ' 4 the country
afraid of them and dominated the gpvernment at
Washington in financial matters.
" ' *
Fountain and Maxwell
/
The three-cornered fight for the Democratic nomi
nation for governor is growing more interesting day
by day.
The latest funny thing that has happened is Mr.
Maxwell's challenge to Mr. Fountain, to tell why so
many people are for him. It sounds almost as funny
as it would for a preacher, in the midst of a marriage
ceremony, to stop the service and demand the bride
to explain why tlijfcgroom lovel her.
Well, it is perhaps not as embarrassing to ask a
fellow why the peopl e are for him as it would be to
ask a candidate why the people are not for him.
Politics Again a Live Topic
Politics is still a live interesting question, and De
mocracy is thriving in the north, south, east, and west
—that kind of democracy that calls for fair play for
all people. When a crisis comes, such as we now have,
. there is always such a demand.
Now is th e time for all people who want every
man and every business to bear a fair share of the
burdens of government to enjoy all the blessings of
government, to look well to his candidates.
Men who have honest hearts and wise heads were
never more needed than now.
One oi the Major Crimes
o
._ The meanest kind of stealing is the taking of chil
dren for the purpose of collecting large sums of ran
som money from grief-stricken parents.
The national government and every state should re
vise their laws against this type of crime. Not so
many years ago in this country, the stealing of silver
money and the stealing of a horse were capital fel
onies, carrying the perpetrator to the gallows.
The stealing of helpless children, for ransom cer
tainly should be classed as one of the major crimes.

THE LETTER-BOX
"UNCLE BUCK" WRITES
Dear sir: My fetter before Christ
mas, under the heading of "Cutting the
j Watermelon," was widely copied, and
predictioii" Has come true. NowT
1 am not going into any discussion as
to cutting the watermelon, for the press
has given it wide publicity. In that
i article I stated I would like to put my
feet under the table with five or six
of the big dogs of the tobacco game
and discuss these newspaper articles as
to poundage, etc, strictly on the quiet
and not for publication, btu nobody has
accepted my proposition.
I As to the present acreage this year, j
' I am keeping quiet. When you get
!the correct news through from Geor
gia, somebody's eyes will open,
j My main point in this article is to
discuss the position of the best friend
the tobacco farmer ever had—the poor
old warehouseman. The depression for
the past two years and the lovs| prices
of tobacco for the past two years has
about put them out of business. Those
that rent and those that owned their
property are in thp same fix. Under
the North' Carolina laws as to the
commissions, they had no showing
whatveer, and the laws in the other
| BriKlif~Bc.lt States were practically no
I better. Now, Kentucky had a flat rate
'of 75 cents, but that hard-boiled legis
j lature in Kentucky has cut the* charges
to less than North Carolina. Good
| bye, warehousemen in Kentucky, y6u
I afe gone. • - V
I will say a word about the inde
pendeht dealers. Those that could get
any money and bought them a stock
of tobacco will over mop up. Watch
my prediction. And, boys, I feel glad
that you will make some money. *
Old Man Depression still with us.
.No work, no money, no school books,
and no money to buy any. Children
in rags, old folks bought no clothes
for two years, very little in the sm»ke
house, and nothing from Washington
City—but Old Man Depression keeps
moving alpng.
Yours truly,
W. T. MEADOWS.
BLUE MOLD MAY
ATTACK PLANT
BEDS THIS YEAR
First Outbreak Is Found
February 22 in Robeson
County
Tobacco growers who recalLihe se
vere outbreak of downy mildew or
blue mold in their tobacco plant beds
last spring would be wise in keeping
a shart outlook for the trouble again
this year.
Dr. -S. G. Lehman, plant disease
specialist for the 'North Carolina Ex
periment Station, reports a bed in
Robeson County affected and because
of the prevalence of the trouble last
season, he'looks for another epidemic
this season. This disease spreads
rapidly when weather conditions are
favorable and its this
year as compared with last season
gives cause for some worry.
Downy mildew was found in the
Robeson County plant bed on Febru
ary 22. Last year the first trouble
was reported during the third week
in April. This shows the disease is
appearing some two months earlier
than last year and means that grow
ers should begin to inspect their beds
•regularly now, says Dr. Lehman.
The mild weather prevailing through
most of the late winter and the abun
dant occurrence of the disease in so
many plant beds in 1931 means that
there may be a large quantity of over :
winteridfc diseased material from
which the disease may get a new start
this season. The forward develop
i inent of the trouble in George and the
I early reappearance in this State also
, indicates the opportunities for an early
j start.
Dr. Lehman advises good ventila
tion and thorough drainage for the

plant beds so that the surface of the
bed may be kept dry. Where the dis
ease appears, he suggests that the af
fected plant» be destroyed and the
others sprayed with Bordeaux mix
ture. Some insecticide may be used

" "flea beetles~and other Insects."
Definite instructions, about how to

will be given to any one who will
