Friday, September 22, 1932 ft# An Ordinary Practice Many things have been doen that rate ordinary or even lower than that have been done against an ideal business code, but the meanest of all, |*rhaps, is the practice carried on by certain tobacco drummers. It has been said that when a man. working for an other warehouse or market, goes on the auction floors of a competing warehouse or market and in following the sales begins to whisper the price is much high#r at any warehouse or at any other market, he is get ting about as low down as men can get in business. And yet there are those who do it. It is also said that the men who generally stoop to such a practice are too well known at home to get a job at home. Tobacco prices might vary first tine way and then the other, and the farmer, with the perfect right to turn his tags if hi is not satisfied, ran do so without the advice of a whispering drummer. Real Sign of Improvement A real sign "of improvement in business conditions was seen in Greensboro last week, when the Southern Railway had to put on an extra freight train to han dle the business. Most of the additional business was in hauling cotton-mill products. This means more for the railroads, more for the mill owners, more for the mill workers, and more for the cotton growers, as well as more for the merchant who buys and sells these goods. If we can just get the old wheels of business to turning again, every body will get a little taste of the gravy as it passes around. With most goods taking a considerable up turn in price, now is a good time to buy. After all, buying is the only thing that puts things to moving. When a laborer buys goods, it is like pushing an electric button. It makes all the wheels turn clear up the line. ' . Far Better The Florida Times-Union says: "Massachusetts is raising a row over a portrait of a governor with his hands in his pockets. Well, that's better than show ing him with his hands in the Treasury." ~ " COHtoEfcED H\|A4fclF THE * ~ ■ - SREKTCST Of KU • wis Ku.vmo 11/fl/H —• - HlNl IN w \jffl \nM/As. *n*vs pot -xx) wOwl &TW tttft mx*\x C -iwi x 52.000 CWJWKU o* me » 04t0 rooo S\f OHVTS* SfWfS OWi PfcOKKW WOWH **OO"T TWfcEt V -r' V • 0¥ T>o\.\.M*.S ODD-BUT TRUE PUBLiaMID KVBIV TUESDAY AMC FRIDAY Big Fish Eat Little Fish Twenty big banks in New York made big profits in the first six months of this year. Where these profits came from is perfectly plain, however, because they profited to the same extent that the small country banks lost during the same period. The workings of our financial system are perfectly illustrated by two fish in a pond, one~ big and the other little. When the big fish swallows the little one, the big one is then just as big as both were be fore the little one was eaten." The same thing applies to the big New York banks. They have swallowed up the small country banks, and are getting the profits that should have been distributed among them all. Definite Program Needed Nearly all the folks seem to be against Herbert Hoover. Perhaps they should be. The depression which has so crushed business during his administra tion has been charged to him, and.this naturally makes people hate him. It is possibly unfair to charge Hoover with the re sponsibility for the hard times now existing. It is really chargeable to his friends. He is responsible, however, for having such friends and for showing them governmental favors, such as has been done. Now the time for the Democrats to win, and it is important that they have a real program and stick to it. The mere winning to simply hold the offices is not sufficient. The party should renew the fight on its old-time principles, rather than pander to the whims of a class of people who have no special inter est in any democratic legislation. Machinery and the Land A recent issue of Ford News has the following ar ticle from the pen of Henry Ford: "Danger to our country is to be apprehended not so much from the influence of new things as from forgetting the value of old things. At present, much that is blamed on the new thing—the machine—should perhaps be blamed on our forgetting what we had Ijefore the machine came, namely, the land. The two belong together; they can not live apart; there is no antagonism between them; they must be re united. "I do not look for less but more use of machinery. If the world is to have even a minimum supply of goods, it must utilize the machine. The people will never willingly forego the help which the machine gives them in their work. '"Besides, machinery makes more jobs. It enables every one to enjoy inexpensively the comforts and tfmvniences of modern living conditions. As for overproduction, we have never yet had a sufficient production of all the things which the family needs. It would be splendid if the world should seriously at tempt to overproduce evreything that everybody needs. It would be'splendid if the world should serir ously attempt to overproduce everything that every body needs. We should then discover that our pres ent machine facilities could not even catch up with the need. Give the world a money system that makes it easier for goods to How from man to man, and all the factories on earth could not begin to supply a tenth of the demand. Basis of Prosperity Alanujacturcr's Record. One must go into rural areas, where the people are quietly building up their little businesses to realize that the economic revival has started. And real mon ey is growing in field, grove, and garden. The small city and country communities are the backbone of the nation. As they prosper, so will the nation. THE ENTERPRISE BELIEVE BIBLE IS PROFANED BY USE IN COURTS "Swearing In" Witnesses In Many Instances Has Lost Significance people think nowadays that all that is essential in preparing a wit ness for the stand is to elicit an affir mation from him, as the Quakers have always done in America, and in most cases this is all that is necessary a mong the better class of people. While the lower elements that are continually in the courthouse had just as soon swear by a Bible as affirm their pledge to tell the truth as one means as much as the other. Many times the criminal himself had just as soon perjure himself after kissing the Bible as otherwise. When there was a scarcity of the I holy book more pride was taken in the uke of it and, 10, these many years ■it has been used in the courthouse possibly to some benefit, but now it seems that this peculiar use of the book has outlived its benefit as there is so much skepticism now. And the man who kisses the book ! in the courthouse is generally the man who does not know the teachings of the Bible or the hallowness that sur- 1 rounds its use, and many times it isf abused or misused in a place where it is meant to do a lot of gool, but; it takes a person skilled in the teach ings of the book to protect it from' violence. No one will argue that t£e Bible docs not have a place in the adminis tration of justice, neither does any one usually endeavor to incline peo ple to believe that the Bible is not a useful book in the courthouse to be quoted by court attaches and its pre cepts followed by all. But to continue its use as a bind ing influence in an oath is out of line with the teachings of the book, which says, "Swear not, by earth or heaven," and those who permit the book to be so used are usurping a responsibility. Use of the Holy Bible in the court house for witnesses to kiss and hold when taking an oath is a law or cus tom that has possibly lost its useful ness and one that has resulted in dis favor among many, according to Clerk of Court C. V, W. Ausbon of Washing ton County, who has been "swearing' •'em in" for the last quarter of a cen-l tury. Mr. Ausbon, ilong with others, thinks that this custom has resulted in indignities to the sacred book when men and women commit by solemnity of their oath and the sa credness of the book and present tes timony that is false. There are men -and women today who do not regard the Bible as a sa cred book and who do not subscribe to its teachings, and thus they get FIRST SALE MONDAY — " •' _ SEPTEMBER 26TH ' 1 We are expecting a big sale Monday, as several of our cus- —'■& tomers have advised us that they expect to sell Monday.

WILLI AMSTON NORTH CAROLINA ' an opportunity to take an oath on a book that meant no mere* to them than many books, and thus it fails to register in them any condemnation when they perjure themselves on the stand. The Bible is the one book which the church and the Sunday schools and many other organizations teach should be used only on special occa sions and for conscientious study; yet, the Bible is permitted to be used in the courthouse as a tool for the quali fication of witnesses, whether they be hardened criminals or not. Like Mr. Ausbon, many are of the opinion that the Bible can be used at marriages and such matters, and also on occassions when a person takes the oath of office, as most of them remember the satcredness of the occa- swearing on the Bible that they will fell the truth and then disregard the WANTS HOUSE FOR RENT: ALL MOD ern conveniences.
