Tuesday, November IS, 1932 "The Kingdom of God in Washington" A religious journal recently ran an article entitled: '"The Kingdom of God in Washington. Our capital city rates well as a city of churches, and church-going people who follow the paths of charity and honor and truth. On the other hand, there is collected in Washington a group of men not so close to the "Kingdom." These men may be class ed as selfish watchers —a cross section of all kinds of interests and thoughts. This grocp thinks more of the dollar mark than of the Cross of Christ. Even in our own 48 states there is a stronger tide of selfish interest than there is of friendly cooperation. Maine is against Texas; Georgia is against Idaho, and so it is throughout the nation and throughout the world, one section and one nation trying to grab the best morsel. In Washington there are representatives from every quarter of the globe whose sole business is to look out for dollars. This may be true of other cities, but there is no doubt about Washington being infested with a gang working under the influence of wine, wo men and many other influences foreign to the King dom. We need to rid Washington of some of its people. Produce Home Supplies A good cover crop this winter, and a good pasture next summer will pay the average farmer better than all that he ever can hope to realize from politics. A good compost made from mellow woods earth, stable manure and a few ashes preparel during the winter months and properly applied to the next tobacco crop with a smaller quantity of fertilizer is just as good a guarantee for a 'good crop as that to be expected from the use of fertilizer alone. It will cost much less, tot). Everyone should bear in mind that next year will bring hard times too, and the outlook is that the only money we will make will be that which we save 'ln cost of production.' ~ r~~ The farmer who makes the best effort along the right lines has the best show for success of any other fellow in all the Southland. But he will have to re vise his old time cash crop system into the new sys tem of feeding himself first even if the other fellow goes hungry. The first sign of prosperity the South will see will come from the farm, and those farmers who pay at tention to producing home supplies and sell the sur plus will get along better than the fellow who de pends too much on money crops. Time To Stop and Think Armistic Day passed quietly in this section, and in many instances with some degree of reverence and sorrow. But in some cases a feeling of pride and boastftilness was expressed. Many fine tributes were paid the bravery of the American soldiery by speak er! throughout the country. All tributes were un doubtedly well founded and due our American man hood. On the other hand we have completely failed to seek out the cause and condemn the spirit of war, and why we have wars. We have not stopped to think from whence comes the warry mob spirit that makes men want to destroy each other. It is now an estab lished fact that we did not hate the folks we tried to kill. We did not even know the fellows we killed and those we tried to kill, nor did they know us. We did not hate each other Yet after we had torn each other asunder, broken each others bones and tore the flesh and drenched the soil with human blood, we now have sobered up to the fact that we played fool. We are not only torn and wounded; we are in financial distress and we will beforced to mourn and groan under debt and depression for many years. Still we do not know why we had war. We need to give more Christian culture to our peo ple and less time to the bigoted military spirit. If we prepare for war and talk war, we will have war. It will not take long to find somebody to fight. If we talk peace and work for peace,~*e will have peace. Long Pull Out ot the Red A certain percentage of American farmers refrain loWng cooperatives because those organizations haven't been able to bring prices back to former high levels or solve various other problems perplexing agri culture. The success of the whole cooperative movement must depend on the long pull—not on a temporary success of the moment, but on the eventual develop ment of a strong, loyally supported and adequately financed concern which can achieve a fair deal for the farmer all the time. There are times when the individual farmer can get a better price for his product by selling it inde pendently, instead of through a cooperative—but the dollars made that way are dearly won indeed. The middlemen who offer higher prices to so-called "inde pendents" in an effort to wreck the cooperatives are not the farmers' hope for the future. Every farmer who deserts a worthy cooperative is simply delaying permanent agricultural progress. The cotton growers of the South, the milk producers of New York, other producers in other sections, have found the value of cooperation. The fundamental principle behind the movement represents sound eco nomics and sound sociology, too. h can bring the farmer out of the red. For Future Use Greensboro Daily News. Among the mass of election news, one short item particularly deserves a place in the files so that, when future campaigns roll around, it can be resurrected without delay and cite for Whatever effect it may have in the prevention of baby-kissing, handshaking, speech-making, or whatever it is the candidates offer to excess. For fear that it may have been overlooked in the array of more conspicuous headlines and front-page collections of figures, the dispatch in question, three brief paragraphs under an Associated Press by-line from Kansas City, is hereby repeated: "Henry Depping, studying results of his un successful race as the Republican nominee for attorney general of Missouri, has made a dis covery. The only county he carried was Ozark County, down in the hill country next to the Arkansas line. "And that," Depping reflected today, "is the only county of the 114 in Missouri in which I did not make a speech." If that won't stop waves of oratory, the punish ment to which the electorate is subjected and the in tensive campaigning which speedily leads to a weari ness of the flesh, a term broad enough to include pains in the neck, this household journal does not know what will. Surely it is worth preserving to pull on your most |>estiferous candidate, come another scram ble for votes. The Economy League Sampson County Independent Under the leadership of Frank Page, the North Carolina State branch of the National Economy League is pushing the work or increasing its member ship between this time and the meeting of the 1933 session of the General Assembly. But for the differences that have arisen between the League and the ex-service men it would probably have become one of the most powerful movements in the country. Naturally the feeling that has arisen l>etween certain organizations of ex-service men and the league will to some extent detract from the or ganization's influenc. To just what extent the League is responsible for this feeling is something of which we are ignorant. Indeed we are not interested in this phase of the mat~ ter for several reasons. In the first place, we believe that the great majority, if not practically all, of the American people are willing and anxious that the ex service men and the families of those who died in service, receive to the full limit every merited con sider-1 ion at the hands of the government. We be lieve they will receive this. The Economy League as well as every other organization will, in our opin ion, fail in any effort to deprive the ex-service men or families of those who died in the service, of the con sideration that is justly due them. We take it that the American people will always see justice done these men anl their families. ' Aside, however, from any controversy as to consid eration for ex-service men or their families, the Econ omy League can and should accomplish much good. Never in the history of the nation has there been a time when the demand for economy in government was so insistent. Unless the people of the country take a hand in affairs and make their wishes known in the matter of appropriations, creations or bureaus and commissions and various unnecessary activities of the government, and not for the sole purpose of combatting legilsation favorable to ex-service men, as some think, it should receive the undivided support of the people. Naturally if it was organized for any such narrow purpose as that of influencing legislation along any one particular line and beyond that which is just and honest, it will not, in our opinion, survive. Any movement looking to economies in governmental expenditures must be broad in its scope and honest in its intentions. According to a statement given out by Mr. Page, the League hopes to enroll not less than 200,000 mem bers in North Carolina by the date for the opening of the next General Assembly. It will be the purpose of the organization to the members of the General Assembly the desires of the people of the State as a whole on any question of expenditures and appropriations coming up for consideration. Doubt less legislators will listen more attentively to a repre sentative of 200,000 people of the State than they have listened heretofore. Never in the history of the nation has there been such a demand for governmental economies. As long as the Economy League operates justly and honestly in an effort to reduce the taxpayers' burden, it should have full support of the people. THE ENTERPRISE THE LETTER-BOX THE TOBACCO MARKET Mr. Editor: As I see it, and from a personal contact with the farmers in this sec tion, the tobacco crop is about all sold, probably 8 per cent left, or less. Now, there is a great deal that can be done by the boosters' club, Kiwanis, and the merchants for the Williams ton market from now until it closes if they will immediately offer their-services to the warehouseman. Each ware house will be glad to send a man with them and show thejn where this scat tered tobacco is and help get it to Williamston, whicli stands up as to prices with any market in North Car olina. { The warehousemen will do their j part; the buyers will do their part; NOTICE OF SALE OF LAND FOR TAXES ""', h C coEor for the Town of WilliamMon, N.
