Address an communications to T and not to the individual members of the firm. Tuesday, December 11,1934 Vote For Continuation Next to the reverence ol the Almighty is the duty cf the Southern farmer to supjiort the Bankhead Cot ton Acat and the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Control Act at the polls Friday of thi? week. Cpon these two acts depends the farmer's welfare and that of his wife and children, and their failure wiU.no doubt result in near starvation. loss of home and farm sooner or later. Of all the art? earnestly advanced to relieve the plight of the farmer, the two up for consideration this Friday arc the most important. The farmer will reg ister his opinion, and his alone, on the great issues designed to protect his interests along with that of other industries. We think and fair-minded farmer or business man will agree that, on the whole, farmers in 1933 and in this year are far belter off t .111 they were in J931 and 1932 In those yclrs wi had a"Tatge acreage and a ^arge production of cotton and tobacco. We are not trying to tell farmers ho^v to vote on the Bankhead or Kerr-Smith Acts coming up for a [ vote this Friday. But they should weigh carefully [ the benefits they are now receiving against the days when they produced unlimited quantities of cotton" . and tolycgp-and sold al>*1 ac.stUion.-pr.ipet,, Consider the Fcts First? In appealing to honte folks to do their buying at home, local merchants are-not asking any one to do so at a loss; all they ask is a consideration of facts and an opportunity to serve you. Only recently, a resident of a nearby community ordered a package from a north(#n firm, fully con vinced in her own way that she was effecting a 40-cent saving. She had compared prices, and that, in her estimation, was all there was to the transaction. She compared the real article with a picture in the sales leaflet, the picture showing up beiteiihao the real _ article. The order was entered. When the package arrived, the apparent profit of 40 cents was wiped out and 18 cents over by a carrying charge of 58 cents. Shr i! refund hM t'e glow'ng description in the saie.. lea.let, w a not m.srepresentative, was power _JoLm lis In tlir extent she thought she was get t.ng a bar,go,n wlicis in reality she gut an artir'le hard ly as good as the one she inspected on the local store shelf. There is a practice among some to forget the part the home merchant plays in the life of the community in which he lives. He is called upon to support the church, the school, the civic oigaill/atloli, this SOClety and that society, this thing and that thing, all worthy calls, to be sure, and he answers with little or no com plaint. In fact, in past years, local merchants, have willingly and gladly answered such calls. When one considers these facts, the home merchant is found to deserve the first consideration when an article is to be purchased. The home merchants goes to market with every available dollar to buy goods, and he does so with out the assurance that all will be sold. He does so willingly, however, with the hope of pleasing a custo mer and with a hope, often far removed, of making a email and fair profit, lie bring* the goods to you for your inspection. He pay* the freight. He makes necessary adjustments, and he serves you personally. Local merchants are buying heavily for the Christ mas business this year with the hope that you will give them an opportunity to offer their services in filling your Christmas shopping needs Be Sure To- Vote Friday Fifty-seven percent of the people of the United States are farmers. Last year they got only eight percent of the national income. This year, under the tobacco and cotton control acts they are getting 12 percent of the national income. v This means thai both landlord and tenant, and you and your neighbor should vote to continue the gov ernment's efforts to help you. Farmers, don't forget or let your neighbor over look voting Friday December 14th on the two all im portant measures. Know With Whom You Deal Are our lucal Livit orffanirninns inch as Kiwanis, Kotarians, Women's clubs, Parent-Teacher associa tions and others careful enough in their recommenda tions, or are they so anxious to make a little money they fail to go to the trouble to see how much they help the other fellow for the little that he helps them? One of the late schemes is by a prominent publishing company that sends its experts into every community and enlists some civic organization to help sell maga zine subscriptions for a commission which is entirely too low. Then they go around to the public and put up the speal, stressing the fact that some local club gets part of the money. If the whole story was plain ly told the organization would not recognize such propositions, for the schemes often mean little money for the local club, but they do mean big money for the other fellow in too many cases. We need to know folks with whom we deal. A Verdict We Don't Like Juries do many things. Sometimes they render just verdicts, and very often they render very unjust verdicts. - '. i Personally, we differ from the ^nsull verdict. We do not know just how much light the members of the jury had before them,"nor how much power be- ? hind them, but we still do not like the verdict.*' Proof Supports Success of New Deal There are. hundreds of definite proofs, that the New Deal is succeeding. First of '--all whs the great vote given it by the people why Tiave been benefited by it. Second is the uncompromising hatred the fel lows who caused the depression and starvation have for it. 7 ~ t ? Those two reasons would be suffiaient to prove the ! case. Since life and property are the two big issues in government, we See at last and for one time in our 1 own country life put first and jrroperty last in values, | and that is exactly the point upon which the New Deal has won. Those many fellows who have been 1 gradually pushed down the hill until they giew rag ged and hungry have felt the touch of sympathy and mercy. They are for the New Deal. On the other hand, the fablously wealthy have found the channels through which they have formerly sucked to themselves large profits from the worker and producers for ages blocked by the New Deal and they are against it. Ouing further in the operation of the New Deal, -we- -t find the farmer getting more tor his roll hi. unit, hugs,?I cattle and wheat, while the bondholder gets less in terest and the stockholder gets smaller dividends which is the only way prosperity and happiness will i return in this country. Aggregations of wealth must not depress fair profits of individuals. Follow the Right Course One farmer says he would rather have the govern ment fix the prices of his cotton and tobacco than to let the speculator do it. That farmer is going to vote to continue both the cotton and the tobacco control contracts. That farmer is on the right side, and every farmer would do well to follow the same course.
