Your Cooperation Vitally Needed
The local tobacco market opens next Tuesday. It
must be supported by the local people if it is to attain
any meaurse of success.-
A tobacco market serves two classes of people di
rectly, and every class in the section indirectly. First,
the faVmer is benefited by having a market close to his
barn. It costs much less time to sell close to home,
and it costs much less money, because transportation
is a costly proposition It is a direct benefit to the
laborer in that it gives him a job, so that both the
laborer and the farmer are directly interested and
benefied by selling on the home market.
Not only are these two closses of people helped by
the home market, but the merchant, the carpenter,
the doctor, the lawyer, the shoemaker, the restaurant
keeper, the printer, the butcher and the baker are
all helped by the local market.
Now why do people patronize foreign markets?
There are several reasons; first, some people do not
like the neighbors and friends. They are just out of
accord with them and prefer strangers. Then some
times they say they get better prices at other places.
Well, sometimes that is true, and some other times
it is not, because most Of the markets average about
the same, when the quality of the crop in each com
munity is considered. The government figures prove
this to be true.
Another thing that operates against the local mar
ket is that men hired to work for the big markets
in each community use their influence on their neigh
bors to get them to sell at some particular ware
house on some particular markets. This is, by ail
odds, the greatest hindrance to local markets of the
smaller types. There is nothing that influences the
minds of people as much as friendship, and when the
big markets divide oyt the territory surrounding a
little market and puts a man on the pay roll from
each communiy, they naturally draw tobacco from
the little to the big markets.
We know of no man who buys on a little market
and sells on a big market who has made any money
worth mentioning. If he makes it today, he loses it
tomorrow, and plenty of good judges of tobacco have
tried that trick to make money. It is admitted by
all that the only hope to make money by buying on
the smaller markets and selling on the larger mar
kets is by buying out of season, or improperly graded
piles and working them over and reconditioning them.
And yet propagandists passing around every day
throughout the season say tobacco is selling much
higher in such-and-such a market than it is at so-and
so.
We can all help our community by sticking to our
own interests and to our own friends. When we es
tablish a strong tobacco market we have somebody
to help us pay our taxes and support our institutions.
Let us stick together, work together, and help each
other. Everybody has, or should have, a vital inter
est in promoting the welfare of the local tobacco
market.
Shorter Hours of Work
Shorter hours of work are urged by some as the
panacea for the depression. That sounds rather queer
to many millions who are praying for more hours.
It, of course, may be that the idea to cut the hours of
those who have jobs and give part of their hours to
those who have no jobs at all.
Something needs to be done to keep folks from
starving. While it looks as if most laborers can hard
ly stand an income split, yet it is preferable to seeing
some starve.
Need Board of Arbitration
Hie Urge number and wide spread of strikes
throughout the United States and some parts of Eu
rope reminds us that w• sorely need a board of arbi
tration.
It b unfair for any concern or business to cut
wages without first consulting with the employees,
because the laborer is certainly a part .of every great
industry. Nor should labor resort to strikes, which
always lead either to violence or suffering, and very
often to both.
FHends can best work together, and for that rea
son alone neither capital nor labor should any
drastic move without firat having a complete and full
wrier Handing with each other. Both sides should be
heard by a board of disinterested parties, which is
usually able to find some ground upon which both

An Uneasy Conscience -
A Greenville newspapers has thrown a great fright
into a number 01. .Greenville people by announcing
that a great scandal, in which both criminal and civil
proceedings will ensue, will likely develop in that
town some time in the near future.
The announcement goes further and states that
uneasy there be many heads that go up high in the
social circles, because they do not know just where
the lightning is going to strike. There are many won
dering if they will be implicated. According to the
article, they are about like the fellow who had com
muted so many misdeeds that he never heard a foot
step nor saw a shadow without thinking of his crimes
and feeling the sheriff was after him.
It may be that some man or women is to be haled
■before the courts for "home smashing," a thing quite
common in many Carolina towns and in the states
to the north, south, and west of Carolina.
No ma profits by living a life which causes him to
expect to be shot, sued, or indicted every minutes, and
it is terrible for a woman to lead such a life that peo
ple lose confidence in them. It means unhappiness,
poverty, distress, and too often premature death. It
is better to follow the paths of righteousness than
to bask in the field of sin.
Prepare Now for the Winter
The white fleecy clouds slowly floating around re
mind us again that fall is approaching. Tobacco is
almost all out of the fields, and corn shucks are turn
ing brown aitd the ears are drooping to keep the win
ter rain and cold out. The cotton fields are ripening
up and the fleecy white staple is beginning to show
down the row. Sweet potatoes and peanuts will soon
mature. So we already know just about how much
we are going to have to eat from our principal crops
next winter. In most places there is a big shrinkage,
and there are going to be plenty of hard times, for
some time yet.
Now is the time for us to save the things that we
have, for we are going to need every grain of corn
and every blade of fooder to carry us through to an
other season.
The time is now ripe for preparing winter garden
crops that thrive in this climate, and we need to make
the best out of the gardening opportunities that we
can. It will make the corn and meat go furher and
the folks will be healthier.
We also need to save the soil and retain its fer
tility by planting plenty of small grains, and at the
same time provide green grazing for all the stock and
the poultry as well. Oats, rye, and wheat are fine for
the hens, will make them good layers, and then when
the poultry cars come around next spring the old
hens will bring a lot of valuable cash to their owners.
Now is the time for everybody to tell everybody
tha now is the time for everybody to look out for
themselves the best they can. /
The New Road To Prosperity
Have you heard about it? We are going to drink
ourselves rich. We need more automobiles, more
radios; we must pay for our homes and we who are
out of a job must have one. ?he way to get these
is to drink more wine and beer. The way to get rid
of taxes, the way to pay our school teachers, the way
to get drunken drivers off the highways; the way for
people who are asking for bread for their hungry
children, to get it is turn the county over to Schlitz,
Pabst and Anheuser-Busch. It is strange that we
never thoguht of this before. Get rich by getting
drunk is something new under the sun.—N. C. Chris
tian Advocate.
New York's Mayor
Louis Graves, of the Chapel Hill Weekly, truth
fully says some things about New York's mayor in
a recent editorial.
It is no particular pity that New York has such a
man for its mayor as Jimmy Walker, but it is a ter
ribly sad thing to see the popular mind descend to
such a low level that it applauds and approves such
a man.
We give the editorial in full, as follows;
"Extraordinary is the interest in the fate of Mayor
Walker of New York. Although it would seem that
Governor Roosevelt can scarcely avoid finding him
guilty and removing him, it is evident that tremen
dous pressure is being brought to save the mayor
somehow—in face, if not in office.
"That Walker still remains so popular among
certain is evidence that the mayor fulfills
the ideal treasured in the hearts of a large portion of
the American people.
"He dresses sprucely, he spends his salary (and
more) freely, he expensively to far places, he
makes banquet parties wait, he is reputed to have siz
zling love affairs, he has a front seat at sporting
events, people come up and stuff fat bankrolls in his
hind-pants'-pocket, he makes copiously flip remarks
which cause guffaws and cheers, and at a compara
tively early age he has risen to be the mayor of the
reil capital of the United States. There is a career
which every schoolboy may admire and, if he chooses,
copy. . '
"And yet over every act and saying of Walker's,
there hovers an air of cheapness, metallic shine, and
10-cent optimo-cynicism. There is nothing behind
the man's carefully pressed coat lapels but a thin
»suk shirt.
Ilia career is another sign that the American peo
ple do not wish the governments of their big cities
krpt clean. They want their municipal administra
tions kept pliable, open, and easy. Perhaps there is
a reason for all this. Of what use to throw Walker
out? There will only be another mayor like him,
minus his patent-leather hair."

DISASTROUS BUG
DISCOVEREDIN
NORTH CAROLINA
—• —
Japanese Beetle May Be
More Troublesome Than
Is 801 l Weevil
„ *
With the finding of the Japanese
beetle in Winston-Salemn, Raleigh
and Durham in June of this year,
North Carolina has had added to its
list pf insects another pest of major
proportions. The history of this in
sect since its establishment in New
Jersey from Japan about 1912 indi"
cates that it will be more troublesome
than the boll weevil or the Mexican
bean beetle.
The beetle is a general feeder. It
eats the foliage of foruteen kinds of
shade trees, sixteen kinds of flower
ing shrubs, four kinds of fruit trees,
, besides some truck and field crops.
I The grub (or larval) stage is a ser
, ious pest of lawns and golf courses.
| In its general appearance the beetle
resembles a June "bug," but it is only
about one-third its size. The head and
shoulders are a bronzy green color,
while the wing covers are tan or
brownish, with green on the edges.
There are two very distinct white
spots on the tip of the abdomen below
I the wing covers.
J The beetles will probably appear
,on the wing some time this month.'
They are active on hot, shiny days,
and inactive on cool t dull days and
at night.
I The eggs of the beetle are laid in'
the soil. They hatch in two or three
weeks, and the young grubs feed up
on fibrous roots of sod, grass and
shrubs. The winter is passed in the
soil by the nearly full-grown grub.
| The pupa is the inactive stage fol
lowing the larva and preceding the
beetle. The pupa stage' occupies
from ten to twenty days. It is pass
ed in an earthen cell in the toil.
| Discovery of the beetle in small
numbers this summed does not mean
thfct severe damage or defoliation will
occur next year. Three or four yeara
may bit required for the beetle to in
crease in numbers to the point where
it would be destructive, and spread
from cities now known to be infested'
to other parts of the State.
Modern means of transportation
are probably responsible for its jump
into the State from Maryland, New
Jersey, or Pennsylvania, since freight
cars and automobiles have been known
to carry the beetle to points beyond
the area quarantined by the Federal
and state departments- of agriculture.
The Japanese beetle quarantine pre
vents the movement except under cer
tain conditions of nursery stock, all
plants, plant roots or parts of plants,
sand, soil, and some cut flowers and
farm products.—Dr. R. W. Leiby,
Chief of the Division of Entomology.

■
Relinquishes His Claim As
Champion Papa and Is
Growing Lima Beans
•
"Daddy" Rube Bland isn't the 'fre
quent visitor to Robersonville that he
once was since he moved into Cross
Roads Township, but he was on the
streets last Saturday chatting with
friends. Bland says he is no longer
a spring chicken, but he is still able
to work, and since a man further up
the State contends he is the champion
"Daddy," he has decided to go into
other fields as a champion. This tine,
it is butter beans. Bland claims to
have vines that have grown to the top
of .his home and says they are still
growing, fty means of a ladder he
reaches the top of his porch and then
climbs up the roof and gets as£ride of
the very top and picks enough butter
beans to supply several families, for
he says the vines are very prolific, as
was he, in his younger days.—Report
