Tuesday, August 29,1933 America Is Coming Through America has faced many problems When Washington crossed the Delaware in snow and ice, with barefoot soldiers, to gain freedom for this goodly land, times were indeed critical. Dark clouds hovered over us again in 1812, when we again had war. The year 1861 perhaps brought the darkest of all days for us, and many were the tragedies of those four years of privation and nigh starvation. We came through the World War safely, although with some apprehension; yet we sailed on in pomp and pride and never even approached the danger line of subjection as a nation. Now, things are different. Greed and graft have been permitted to run wild. Capital has been al lowed to shackle humanity until we have been brought right down face to face with utter destruction. Capi tal had organized until it had strangled and almoat destroyed the freedom of man. The dividend was prot| ct«d by the government, while the body of labor starved. This condition grew so intense that for the first time in the history of civilized nations, almost one third of the American people had to be fed by money from governmental coffers. Yet our political leaders were apparently blind to the true condition and dan gers that confronted our government and our peo ple. All the while no political party nor political leader seemed to apprehend the need for the draatic steps which have had to be taken recently, which we call "The New Deal," officially designated as the N. R. A. When true conditions were really uncovered, we found it necessary for the government to take charge and regulate the business of the country to save the people of the land and preserve our free dom. The first blow that has ever come directly on the head of big business is found in our National In dustrial Recovery Act; and it is the only real hu manity-saving law that has gone through both the legislative and executive branches of our government in many years. Now, the question which comes before every indi vidual in America today is "What is my duty and my part in this important campaign, which is cer tainly the only thing that can save the country from destruction and starvation?" i We find that the only thing the N. R. A. does in its application is to distribute the work of the na tion and in return distribute to aach individual a rea sonable re urn It means smaller profits for big busi ness and bigger profits for small workers. Will it work any hardships? Yes; on some people —a thing that cannot be avoided. On the other hand, where it hurts one time, it helps ten times. It puts new IMe in every phase of business. The farmer gets more money for his produce; he trades more with the merchant, who buys more from the factory, which in turn buys more of the raw materials, mostly from the farmer —forming a cycle or endless chain, which, whan properly adjusted, passes every man's door and leaves some of the blessing of life. Has the N. R. A. helped? Yes: already it has put a new hope in the heart of man and a new song in his mouth. It has transformed him into a happier ciiiien and a better man. Will it succeed? Yes; the culture, the civilizing influences of education and Christianity, which have been ingrained in the American people for a hun dred years, insure its success. We have acquired eaoNflh good human mm and Christian virtues not to let selfishness overthrow such a valuable golden opportunity. H must succeed. All the dements of humanity and Christianity are for it. Only ignorance and selfish ness can assail it. /• ll U Cent Cotton—4o Cent Tobtcco i G*U*ore Trmucrift mid Messenger "When," we put the yisetiou te one of these State Cottege extension fcpaitiaiiil specialists, "When wttl farmers be able to pay farm help on the NRA scale?

Supplants Labor Unions There was a day when labor stood as a helpless weakling before the mighty arm of capital This brought on the labor organizations, formed in an ef fort to have some voice in selling their labor. Since that day we have had many clashes and some blood shed. Chapital has never been able to understand that labor should have any voice in its contracts. Capital seemed to feel that it had the inherent right to set all prices, blow the whistle or ring the bell and let labor trot through the gate, be tagged, and obey all orders. While we have had a few excep tions to this harsh rule, it has been generally true. And in most cases capital has refused to have inves tigations made of their sweatshop methods. It was true with the. steel industry when the Federal Coun cil of the Church of Christ attempted a survey a few years ago. It has also been true in our own North Carolina mills. Now comes the government, and it has taken the place of the labor unions, fixed the price of labor and told the "uppers" how to treat the fellows who have always had to sleep on the bottom roost. The N. R. A. came just in time. It saves without bloodshed and destruction. Moley Quits Professor Raymond L. Moley has quit his political office to enter journalism. The professor has evidently given Mr. Roosevelt some very valuable help in reorganizing the govern ment, and he seemed to display much wisdom. But when i)e undertook to line up with the selfish inter ests of foreign nations in diplomatic deals he got some what off the track. Perhaps he was too young to fully visualize the keenness of the French and Brit ish diplomats, who have too often outclassed our American understudies. It is good for America that we had Secretary Hull on the ground to look out for the tricks of France. Good News T Here is a piece of excellent news for Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and other mining states: The price of copper, which has shown firmaeas of late, is expected to rise appreciably in the near future. Knowing persons qgll translate that into jobs, em ployment purchasing power. In a number of states, in days gone by, the copper mines were "the" indus try. They provided most of the jobs aad paid the bulk of taxes. The storekeeper, the banker, the farm er, the salesman—directly or indirectly—copper con trolled his economic destiny. And the influence was felt far beyond the borders of the mining states, in every business in the land. Copper is coming back, and it may not be long be fore the mines are humming again. That's worth looking forward to. Railroads Are Awaking From Expensive Slumber Hertford County Herald. Ever since the era of hard-surfaced highways be gan, the motor vehicle propelled over state-owned roads has been taking business away from the na tion's railroads. That process extended over a period of several years and finally resulted in an almost financially wrecked railroad system. Millions of dol lars were required from semi-governmental agencies to save the system from utter wreck and ruin. It became a governmental concern from Washington down to the smallest taxing unit. Income taxes, corporate taxes, and other returns to the Federal Treasury were drying up; states, coun ties, and towns were losing the revenue that expen sive railroad property had been returning them. The railroads could not pay; and motor vehicles, instead of filling the public treasury, were adding destruction to highways and bringing on added costs for road construction and maintenance. Some such state of afluiis exist i t«da» Now, however, news comes that the railroads have awakened-—belated though it. may be. Instead of complacently standing by with no competitive pro gram to meet new conditions, railroad magnates will levolutionise methods of transportation. Replace- ment of antiquated moving stock with newer and more comfortably designed equipment; reduced paafeager fares; faster service—all of these things are included in the competitive program. Here is an example of some magnitude that other businesses should camfully avoid. Failure to meet changing conditions in business and in commercial activities generally almost spelled wreck of the na tion's railroad system. It will 'do the same thing for any other business. Opportunity of a Century Edemtom Newt. Whatever else the NRA does, there it out thing certain: It offers to the American people the greatest opportunity (or cooperative effort for the common good of any campaign, plan or movement ever yet devised- The NRA offers a means for the practical applica tion of the Golden Rule. It is a cooperative movement to increase the ability to live. in increasing wages it increases the ability to buy; in increasing the ability to buy, it incraeeee the busi ness of the stone; in hi rriming the business of the stores it increases the output of the factories; in in creasing the output of factories it incwaeei the prices the farmers receive for their products. But, above all, the NRA is the means through which the American people, in one grand cooperative spirit, can wort out their own salvation. THE ENTERPRISE PLAN SERIES OP TOBACCO MEETS IN THIS SECTION State-wide Meeting Is To Follow In Raleigh On September 6th , Raleigh.—Dean Schaub of State College announced recently that ooun ty agent* in ttoe flue-cured tobacco growing counties of North Carolina will call meetings of their growers not later than Saturday, September 2, to consider the tobacco to select official delegates to meet at State College on Wednesday, Septem br 6. Mr. Cchaub said th growers of two counties, Craven and Granville, have organized themselves into a»so ciations ready to co-operate with the farmers in other counties in efforts to secure fair prices for the wjed this fall and to adjust acreage reduc tion to market demands next sea- A number of meetings to consider the tobacco'situation have been held in other producing counties. More than 54J0 growers attended the recent meeting in Pitt County where John T. Thorpe, a member of the state committee appointed by Dean Schaub discussed the matter of prices and .acreage with the growers. On the other hand, Mr. Schaub said reports coming to liitn from some of the border markets are to the effect that farmers are finding present prices datisfastory. It i« generally understood that re.ent price advances have been due largely to the understanding that something will be done about acreage control next sea- In the meantime, Mr. Schaub will offer to tobacco farmers the leader ship of the agricultural extension organization in aiding them to se cure acreage reduction adjustments next season.

Ambers Pressing Club FARMERS RUSH PIGS TO MARTS They Take Advantage Of Federal Government's Purchasing Plan Pi«s, more than 200,000 of them, recently glutted a dozen livestock markets, the fanners' reply to the secretary of agriculture's plan to re duce the supply of pork. Daily receipts at six principal mid west markets were the heaviest in sometime. In several yards all previous rec ords for daily receipts were broken, despite appeals to farmers to with hold swine until packers could pro cess scpplies already on hand. The government ordered shipments sus pended until later this week and de cided to stop purchasing. Kansas City and South St. Paul markets were literally swamped with new shipments and both markets had large carryovers from the previous day. Packers announced at Kansas City they would opcrat 24 hours daily but even then would be unable to pro cess the present supply before the early part of the week. Under the plan as announced a few days ago by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace, the government proposed to purchase 4,000,000 pigs and 1,000,000 sows within 40 days, a daily average of 125,000. registry of Martin County, in book C-3, at page 16, said deed of trust hav ing been given for the purpose of se curing a note of even date and tenor therewith, default having been made in the payment of the same, and at the request of the holder of same, the undersigned having been substituted as trustee in said deed of trust by proper instrument, the undersigned will, on Thursday, the 31st day of August, 1933, at 12 o'clock m., in front of the courthouse dbor in Williamston, North Carolina, offer for sale to the highest bidder, for cash, the follow ing described real estate, to wit: All those certain pieces, parcels, or, lots o land situate, lying, and being Shivering with Chills Burning with Ftvtr JOT R*Uaf fmr ktmlmrimt fcowfsajliYi— idksl Tahs teal gsed oM Grove's TsUsliii ChM Teak, (osa yea wffl be yoamlf agate, far Grove's Taste less CUI Teak not only rsMsvso the »—ti— mt Mataiis, test tetesiri the te'trHia Hiitf The tiHiUss qutetee te Orov«'» Taste- Isss Ckffl Toak titts the Material ttea te the Weed white the Ins It c» tetes Indite up tea htead le msoeaaa the eCacts of the dtssaaa and fortify against further attack.
