Address an communications to fhc 3 Ei n^[P ri,e and not to the individual members of the farm. — ' ~ Tuesday, June 27, 1933 Good News on Every Hand Goods news is the word heard at the cross roads of every highway, from every quarter of the globe comes a breath of the prayers for peace and a bright er hope for prosperity. Perhaps the discovery by the people of the entire world that graft and greed has been the foundation of our trouble is accountable for the new hope that we have. Mr. Morgan and his type have systemati cally bled and squeezed the life out of every other business but their own, and at the same time preached through their hired and paid politicians that they were the saviors of the world of business., until the whole body of business collapsed and the spotlight was thrown on their methods. J hey were shown to be the grafting vultures that have caused all of our business troubles except such as we our selves caused by our extravagance. Since the business monsters have been located, and to some extent chained, by our government other bus iness and individuals have found safety in their own efforts and are now reentering their own fields of in dustry, giving employment to the idle and goods and food to the hungry and the naked. All of this is giving hope for a better day for the |x;ople and the nations. Newspapers Must Do Their Part Some newspapers are complaining because the Gov ernment is asking their cooperation in spreading the good news of the improvement of world conditions. Our opinion of the newspaper is that it stands out as one of the useful agencies for the promotion of all that is good of anything in the country. Its business is to promote everything that is good and to warn against evil and danger; and the present time presents an open road to great opportunities. The newspaper needs to seize the opportunity and carry the good news of hop£ to every home in the land, help build up a spirit of confidence between the peoples of the world, teach them that they do not need guns and and gasses to kill and destroy each other with, but that they do.need to know and serve each other bet ter. The newspapers need to do their part in standing behind every worth-while program and help develop it for the common good. Perhaps thofce newspapers and magazines which are maintained and exist for no other purj>ose than to spread propaganda favorable to combinations of wealth are responsible fot the hard and strenuous times. Now that we know every effort is being put forth to give us government for the people, the news paper should be the leader in carrying the news to the homes everywhere. The Gloomy Side One farmer recently remarked that he could not see how it would help the farmer to raise the price of cot ton and wheat. The remark was so disappointing and crushing to our hopes that we just flopped in a kind of complete collapse and the only thing we were able to say was that if the raising of prices of farm crops would not help the farmer, that it might be the proper thing to lower them and see if that would help him. Well, the point is: Some folks are born gloomy and light will not, or can not, shine on them. It seems that we need more hope and more trust, ahd if we had these qualities, we would be happier. It may not be better for the farmer spiritually to raise the price of his farm products, but it will go a long way towards helping him straighten up his bus iness affairs. t Faring Too Well Now A Caledonia prisoner complains at his fare. Of course, the prison fare is not quite as good as can be found in some hotels and at the homes of wealth and culture, yet it is calculated to maintain health and strength. Taking all things into consideration, and knowing that this particular prisoner has already served three terms in prison, we conclude that he is faring well enough, and doubtless too well. PUBLISHED IVWV TUCT PAY AND rWIPAY Has Cause lor Complaint One Newspaper man in North Carolina has a just complaint against "hard times." He says that when we really had "hard times" he did not object to 4 whole neighborhood borrowing their neighbor's paper and reading the news which had cost him considerable money to gather and print. Now, he says, since peanuts have gone from 1 to 2 cents a pound and cotton from less than 6 to 10 cents, these folks are still lending out his paper. Fre quently he says they are seen in groups of a dozen or more looking over each other's shoulders, under their arms, and from every other angle, reading the interesting news that he has "dug up" at a great sac rifice. He also says he realizes that there is no law a gainst lending out newspapers However, he does feel that the rules of self-respect forbid the cultivation of the habit of continually borrowing a neighbor's news paper. This habit has almost gone out of style in most sec tions, yet this particular editor says his folks, many of them, at least, will walk a mile to read the good news before they will pay a cent to have it delivered at their door. Reducing and Rejuvenating the Old King Bertie Ledger-Advance. While cotton to some extent has given way in this section to other crops that have been found better adapted to local conditions, considering the competi tion with the more favorably located Southern cot ton states, and therefore more profitable to the farm er, the fleecy staple nevertheless to a large extent sets the price for all our crops, fixes* the pace for all agri cultural industry, and exerts a powerful influence for good or bad over the business of the entire nation. In many respects, cotton deserves the title of 'king," although in recent years its power has been that of a sorry monarch impoverishing its subjects because the king grew too fat and ponderous. "King Cot ton," like the great monsters of prehistoric ages, whose fossils now decorate our museums, had developed a surplus of size and structure while its brain stood still. Even now plans are being devised in Washington un der the farm relief bill to cut away some of the pon derous surplus of cotton so that the old king, rejuve nated and some of his excess weight reduced, may once again bring a prosjjerous era over the domain of agriculture and business. That cotton plays a large part in the economic life of the nation and that its influence extends far beyond the primary effect it has on the well-being of agricul ture, the following facts have been compiled by the North Carolina Cotton Grower: Cotton provides jobs for 17 per cent of all Ameri can workers, $ [jercentage larger than that of any other one industry. Cotton provides a living for 27 per cent of the farm population. Cotton accounts for $6,000,000,000 of the retail sales of the country, or 12 per cent. Cotton is the greatest item in the nation's export trade. Cotton requires the use of 700,000 square miles of land in its production, an area equal to the combined areas of Trance, Spain, Germany and Italy. Salaries and wages to members of the cotton-textile industry amount to $2,000,300,000 a year. The garment industry alone pays out $284,000,- 000 in wages annually. The men's shirt industry pays out $51,000,000 in wages annually. The cotton mills of the country pay out $365,- 309,000 in wages annually. Unparalleled Attempt Sampson / tide pendent Never in the history of the world have so many of the leading nations found themselves willing to sit down to counsel together for the benefit of all. The London Economic Conference simply proves that in a general economic crisi# nations are willing to for get past differences and come together for the pur pose of devising plans for the recovery of all. It is also an indication that there is being born in the con ciousness of great national leaders the idea that the time has Come when nations can not be prosperous alone. So small has the world become that each na tion has a part to play and that nation unwilling to cooperate with others for the good of all will be for gotten and lost. And so this week there has convened in London what is probably the most important economic con ference that the world has ever seen. Great national leaders are discussing policies and plans for the world economic recovery in the hope that out of it all will come an understanding that will be the basis for in ternational trade revival. These men are meeting with a vision that is entirely different from that which has been possessed by any of their predecessors. They realise that they are facing a new world, one that de mands new policies of honesty and square dealing, unselfish and sacrificial, in order that good may accrw to all. 1,1 addition to the accomplishments along economic lines the London Conference will doubtless be the beginning of even better things. A world-wide un demanding will doubtless be one of the results. Through such an understanding can come ti:e basis for world peace. Those who participate in tb-. Lon don meeting will without doubt go away with a full understanding of the brotherhood of man and the re sponsibility of every nation for world-wide prosperity. 1 he destiny of the world is now in the hands of this group of leaders. They realize their responsibility. Unfortunate will be that nation whose representa tives are so selfishly inclined that they would allow personal selfishness to stand in the way of agreements on which hinge not only the material prosperity of the world but the beginnings of an era when peace shall hold sway among the nations.
