Other Things Besides Wealth
It is a sad thing that man can find pleasure in
nothing but wealth. Vet it seems to hi' true that
nothing God has given man satisfies him except wealth,
although wealth leads men into more sorrow than all
other a ictions combined.
If we can only learn to utilize the favors God has
given us and banish from our minds what has already
been banished from'our hands .material wealth we
will, after all. usher in a new era of pleasure, which
we have not had for many years, and which money
can not buy, nor prominence or power, acquire.
God has not, and is not, withholding anything from
us that goes to make us happy. Our own foolishness
and folly in past years are the things that are wor
rying us.
And this is the day to cheer up and march on.
The Chowan Toll Bridge
The Edenton people are complaining very much
about the Chowan bridge toll. Of course, we can
understand why they are anxious to see the bridge
made free. On the other hand, it would seem that
they should stand up to the contract and agreement
made with the state that the bridfge should Ik- paid for
by the tolls collected, and it is understood that the
state issued special bridge bonds. Backed, not.by the
state, but by the tolls to lie collected from the bridge.
So the Chowan people are possibly looking at the
matter from purely a selfish standpoint. The Roan
oke River bridge at YVilliamston is free, but the tax
payers of Martin County paid $150,000 to make it
free. Highways number 90 and 125 are free in this
county, but ;jgain the taxpayers,of Martin County
paid nearly half million dollars to make them so. If
Chowan County would take the same steps for free
bridge: and roads, borrow as much money and pay
$40,000 a year in interest a> Martin County is now
doing then the Chowan bridge could be made toll
free at once.
We can see no reason for the state making a free
bridge for one section while it takes money from an
other section with which to byild a free brid^fe - and
free roads. If Chowan bridge is to be made a free
bridge, then let the state pay Martin and Bertie Coun
ties back the money they invested in the Roanoke
River bridge to make it free.
Of course, we would be glad to see the State return
all donations for roads and bridges to the counties
making such donations, and making everything free
for everybody.
The Course of Folly
Peanut farmers and every business in the peanut
belt are having it hard, and are going to continue to
suffer as long as the farmers |>ersist in dumping their
crops on the market at any price offered. By a proper
method of marketing, Martin County at once might
get from 25 to 50 per cent more for their crops. But
they refuse to enter into any pfan whereby they
might let their crop go on the market in an orderly
way.
Nothing is sadder or more deplorable than to see
men assert their independence and right to do as they -
please rather than join with their neighbors when
such folly means that they are sacrificing their crops
to buyers that can out-trade them two to one. Such
a nun's family, which has to suffer liecause of such
m folly, needs protection. Yet their are jieople who had
rather sacrifice what they have to an enenfy than to
cooperate with friends and neighbors.
God deliver us from ignorance and selfishness.
Late Wisdom
Davidson College authorities have brought her ath
letic* down a notch by saying that the coaches of
' athletics shall not be paid more than their best grade
profmoro. Vet it is rather late wisdom.
Athletic* have certainly cost this nation many mil
boot of dollars, and the kind we have had has brought
much destruction. It has really caused lots of folks
to fet out of balance. It has shaken the moral struct-
Ufa oi society and lowered the standards of classwork
by many points.
The State-supported schools of all classes need to be
restrained from expending extravagant sums for the
kiwi of athletics we are having.

Japan Needs a Lesson
Japan, if the general trend of information coming
here and there is correct, is the most defiant nation
on the globe and is displaying more impudence than
any nation has for centuries. Peace is a fine thing
and should always prevail, except in cases where
greed, graft and oppression get the upper hand. Then
it is time to call a halt.
It is always easier to teach children while they are
young; and it may be the safest thing to give Japan
a lesson before she goes too far.
Only Ourselves To Blame
This country has not been broken by taxes, al
though taxes are too high, and a fair percentage has
| been wasted.
Our own extravagance is the principal seat of our
trouble. Of course, we are weak enough and selfish
enough to charge all of our ills to the other fellow and
"cusS" taxes, but when we come out honestly and
face the hare facts, we will find our desires for things
we did not need led us to mortgage our homes and
farms and pledge the majority of our incomes to get
such things. Now that we are losing homes and have
no incomes, we are miserable ourselves and making
our neighbors miserable by constantly growling about
our plight and trying to find a way to justify our
selves and proclaim our own wisdom.
It would be far better for us to be honest, tell the
truth, confess our sins, and all join hands to work
out of this dilemma together.
England Comes to Wall Street
Kven old England, with all her business sagacity,
had to bow down to the Wall Street gold barons to
-
1 get money to pay to our government.
So the United States financial manipulators are the
fellows who have blocked the arteries of business by
cornering the gold of the world.
The United States also made another, and undoubt
edly the biggest mistake in all her history when she
turned down the League of Nations, which mistake is
causing unrest throughout the world. If we had joined
Japan would not be threatening war and defying the
world.
Now Is a Good Time
I Now is a good time for the town to improve sev
| eral of the streets in the western end of town, which
is occupied by colored people. This section has had
very little attention for many years and needs better
drainage and general. improvement.

Newspapers Protecting Their Rights
Wilson Times r -
'Hie newspapers of the country are at last awaken
ing to the fact that they helped to popularize the radio
by publishing its programs, and then the radios enter
ed their field of advertising and became their greatest
competitors.
The rules governing broadcasts and the handling
of niHvs matter were for a long time without any con
trol, the radio stations picking up news from any one
they saw fit. and of course getting ahead of the news
papers on faster service.
During the campaign |X)liticians would pay the ra
dio companies huge sums for broadcasting their
speeches, while the newspapers were handed copies
for free publication many times after the speeches had
been delivered over the radio. Now the newspaper
men, realizing the absolute unfairness of such proced
ure, are demanding better treatment, and as a result
of this demand the news agencies are putting into op
eration strenuous rules for their members and connec
tions for the purpose of preventing news reports from
being secured by the radio companies, before they are
published in the papers, since the newspapers are
taxed tremendously"*to secure their news.
The Board of Directors of the American Newspaper
Publishers' Association has adopted resolutions to the
effect that news-gathering associations have no right
to distribute news matter to radio corporations in
which the newspapers are members and therefore have
been taxed to secure their news. Again that newspapers
giving information to the radio corporations should see
to it that proper credit is given to the news-gathering
organizations. '
That national news-gathering agencies should not
sell or give away to telephone and telegraph compa
nies news gathered at the expense of newspapers so
that the wire companies may sell this news as a by
production of their own transmission.
That newspapers take every precaution to protect
their rights, both before and after publication, and
shows that the courts have declared that news is prop
erty, is bought and sold, has value, and the paper
that has spent its time in gathering same has the right
to prevent its being used by others without proper
consideration and remuneration. The truth of the
matter is that newspapers have been tremendously
careless about many things. The general public seems
to think that newspapers do not cost anything to pro
duce, that it is the duty of the papers to work for
nothing, to serve the interests of the public and com
munities, and politicians especially feel that since the
newspapers have been working for them for nothing
that they are no,t due any consideration. Since the
radio is something new, and the corporations are en
deavoring to make the public believe that they are
in contact with every home in the country, when a
very small percentage of these possess radios, sad a
smaller percentage tune in and discard one program
after another, the value of the radio as an advertising
medium and a dispenser of information is greatly lim
ited, and not in the same class with the newspaper.
