Misplaced Sympathy
At the March term of Martin County' Superior
Court, one J. N'eal Watson, of Roseboro, N. C., was
convicted of buying and concealing stolen goods on a
very large scale. The charge was buying and con
cealing all or part of $1,300 worth of cigarettes stolen
from the Harrison Wholesale Company, of this place.
It was a case in which flagrant guilt was shown on
every hand. Watson also admitted to'the court that
he had been previously convicted of the same or a
greater offense at a previous time and had served
time in prison for it. He admitted frankly to the
sheriff of this county that he was guilty of all that
he was charged with. Watson did not go on the stand
during the trial here to make explanation of the counts
against him, if not guilty. After a verdict of guilty
had been returned, Judge Parker sentenced him to
prison for six to eight years. The only thing brought
out in the prisoner's behalf was that he had a good
father and a good wife and fine children.
Now a hungry lawyer is bending every effort pos
sible to procure Watson s release from prison, saying
that the chief witness against Watson was hired by
the prosecution to swear falsely against him. This
lawyer is trying to induce the jurors who rendered
the verdict to recommend the prisoner's release.
In our opinion, there is nothing that lowers the
respect for government more than the system worked
in our country to try to cripple the processes of the
law. And many times, after matters have been be
fore the proper branch of the government and prop
erly and justly disposed of, it is again taken up before
some other department of the state with an entirely
different story. Efforts are made to have all the prose
cuting witnesses, jurors, etc., who are generally men
of hearts and consciences, ask for leniency, and as
an act of mercy, and entirely in the absence of jus
tice, they sign. Then the governor has an entirely
new case before him, and the man is turned loose to
kill, rob, and steal again.
Our system of government is unsafe when a man
with money can do more injustice and escape more
justice than a man without money. Yet in the Wat
son case, there seems to l>e a lawyer who is seeking
to make the trial jurymen feel that they committed a
grievous error in their judgment.
Back To Work at High Point
TTTs gratifying to see the High Point strikers lay
down their clubs and go back to work.
This seems to l>e one time in all our history when
labor has no grounds for striking, and if men demand
higher wages on rising prices, what will they do on
a falling market? They will perhaps become danger
ous menaces.
It is apparent that lal>or has suffered at the hands
of greedy employers in many cases. But we are now
proceeding on a new basis, and those unfair points
are l»eing watched to the epd that a fair basis of
wages for both the employer and employee will !>e
found and put into operation.
Even {He Turk Knows
_
Building and loan stock seems to be one of the
most dependable as well as one of the most popular
stocks in the entire world these days.
I he Kdgecombe Home Building and Loan Associa
tion, of I arboro, has just recently sold 40 shares of
stock to a resident of Sam Sun, Turkey, showing the
long distance confidence in that particular association,
as well as in building and loan generally. And, by
the way, a Martin County man, Alonzo D. Mizelle, is
secretary of the Edgecombe association.
Building and loan is a sure way and a safe way to
save and invest. Even the Turk knows it.
Going Too Far
We fear the matter of higher wages is going rather
too far in some cases, especially so in the case of
emergency relief work, where the minimum wage is
to be 30 cents per hour.
Wilfc the type of workmen out of jobs in this sec
tion, most people would hardly be willing to board
them for what work they would do, even if they had
a surplus of food. Certainly we have no business
that can live after paying the type of labor such A
the majority we have the government scale.
|f\ .. N
They art not worth the price, and it will be far
preferable to feed them and their families daily than
It will be to hinder business by forcing it to pay such
wages as the emergency relief organization is pre
scribing to the large majority of such cattle as are
out of work.
A Forward Step
Tobacco warehousemen in Eastern Carolina have
launched a reform in their method of getting farmers'
tobacco to their warehouses. Heretofore, for years,
they have hired truckers to drum the country and
haul tobacco, on commission, on salary, and almost
any old way.
These methods have progressed so far that Jt is
pietty generally conceded that somebody is having to
pay too much to sell their tobacco. The warehouse
man either had to lose money or take too much out
of somebody's tobacco.
The truck was conceded to be a stifler of competi
tion, and the only way any warehouse could keep up
with his competitior was to buy a truck and haul, too,
and then he had to charge up the operation of his
truck to tobacco farmers.
The new method will do away with muflT* unfair
competition, put sales on their merits, enable every
warehouse to do its best for every customer.
It is understood that every warehouse in this belt
has already signed an agreement not to haul nor to
pay haulers commissions, and do their very best for
every farmer who sells with them. This is the proper
sv&tem to follow so long as we have the auction ware
house. •
A New Profession
Automobile stealing is getting to be a real profes
sion with a lot of folks. They do not seem to mind
sneaking around and taking cars wherever they can
find them It looks as if the old-time law for horse
stealing, with its j>enalty of death by hanging, will
have to IK- applied. The courthouse and jail will
have to be used more freely before this type of crime
is checked. •
Thousands and thousands of cars are stolen yearly,
a portion of them by boys who do it for the conveni
ence of a ride, but most of them are stolen for the
profit to be derived from it, which is the kind of
stealing the law should punish more harshly
No Work, No Eat
We already hear that labor is refusing to work,
especially is that true on farms. Even some of those
who were fed and clothed last winter and spring by
the public are now refusing to work unless they can
get prices much above the ability of the farmer to
l>ay.
This is a matter the government should take a hand
in. Mark every man who refuses to work and with
hold all charity from him.
Re|>orts are current that some men in this county
are riot working and are sending their wives to draw
rations every week from the public dole, claiming
they are on the verge of starvation. Every such per
son shrould l»e arrested for vagrancy and put to work
on the public roads while his family is being fed.
If public charity reaches too far and wages go too
high, it is going to take a standing army to make
some people work.
I hose who will not work should not be allowed
to eat.
Sales Tax Argument
Watauga Democrat.
I he sales tax continues as the most popular topic
of conversation, aside from the noble eperiment, and
the new levy is freely discussed and soundly cussed
on all hands. One merchant, however, got down to
facts and figures with The Democrat the other day
and shows the net dollar and cents situation as regards
Watauga ( ounty, and this is the way it goes: The
asessed valuation in Watauga is $8,000,000. The re
moval of the 15-cent advalorem saves $12,000. The
retail trade in 1929 was $2,010,000, which, when
halved to take care of the panic, makes a round one
million. Three per cent of that amount equals $30,-
000 estimated new taation as against a reduction of
$12,000, making a conservative increase of SIB,OOO in
the amount Watauggans have to pay in taxes. And
the man is yet to be found who likes it.
Teachers' Salaries
Asheville Times
It is likely, says a dispatch from Raleigh, that the
State School Commission will not write the salary
schedule for teachers l>efore next week. Other budget
items, such as transportation and operation of plant,
will prolftble first be fixed.
It is no secret, however, that regardless of all the
economies the commission can effect the state's sum
of money available for the eight month schools will
fall far short of reasonable requirements.
It is clear,'therefore, that the public school teach
ers will not share in the national recovery program.
It follows, too, that the teachers will be under en
forced restraint, when almost every other group of
citizens is employing an enlarged buying power to
help make the national recovery enterprise a success.
For the teachers' hours will not be shortened; their
minimum pay will not permit a margin above bare
necessities.
1 he moral for Asheville and many other communi
ties is plain: Supplements to the state school fund,
voted by the people, are imperatively necessary for
maintaining minimum standards in the schools.
In Asheville ,estimates conservatively calculated
make it virtually certain that, without the supplement,
there wiU be a dearth of funds for heating the build
ings, to say nothing of providing reasonable minimum
salaries for the teachers. '
