If the Roosevelt polities tail, it will be because the American people are incapable of discerning right from wrong. They must know The different between truth and error. The average man always wants to change from where he is to something different. Whether he is doing good or bad. he want, a change He forgets the old adage, "Let well; enough alone." and white 95 per cent of the people of the country have been wonder fully blessed by the o|teration of the New Deal, the other 5 per cent?who have been, in former times, blessed with overabundance of wealth have revolted against the New I teal, because it hindered them in their greedy desire to take tdo much out of their deals with the common herd of men "Thee have resisted the efforts of the government Iwstablish a fair equasion of profits between labor and capital. It now looks like they are making tracks around the Senate Chamber in Washington and that, undoubted ly. is where wealth will get a new hold on the neck of labor, and where the""power .of government will again be bestowed upon the hands, of lug business. ff that-takes place, then the enfranchisement of the quartet of a century. Forgotten Debts America may just as well l.iss her claims against European countries good-bye. We failed to join the League of Nations. We failed to join the World Court Now there is scarcely a na tion in the world that has pro|>er rcsjM'i t for us. Many of them positively hate us They count us as selfish and will pass up every demand for payment iiTToah' that are due us They will pass us up because they do not want to pay us. and we Cannot make them do it. The Senate- Makes a Mistake The World Court has failed of ratification again by this country, and we must write our future treaties with the blood of our sons and the tears of our mother The prayer of Christ has failed, and the spirit of sel fishness still reigns and rules the Senate. We again show ourselves willing to trade with the other fellow if we can out-trade him. We are not will ing to deal with other people on the level; we prefer to boast of our greatness, and make the other fellow say and do our bidding because he fears our big guns. There was a time when Washington was right, be cause our contacts were few and our isolation of no great importance. Now, we face new conditions. We come face to face with every nation, kindred, and tongue, every second^ every minute, hour day, and year of our lives. I'ndo* such conditions, it is neces sary lor Us to establish a new code, a code which gives every interested |>arty the full right to come before an international court of justice to be heard. Tlii-, sy stem of handling disputes has existed since the days of Samuel and Solomon and has increased in favor through all thr ancient and modern civilizations and has doubtless saved the lives of many millions. The t'nited States will either have to bow to the rest of the world ere long or change her attitude of in dependence, for it is easy to understand that pride goeth before a fall. We need only to examine the greatest criminal trial in history to see that men tri al! nations may become involved in matters affecting all. Hauntinann. an unnaturali/ed German, is accused of entering the home of an American family and seiz ing and killing a sleeping baby. He is held in a slate prison to fact- the charge. He is being defended by ;m American lawyer and prosecuted by a Hebrew at torney. The case involves jieopie of three nationali ties, but all held bound to ju-tice by a court?the only safe thing to preserve the races of men which gives all concerned an opportunity tTThe heard. Without law, it is more thin probable than the out come of this incident would have been many scenes of butchery. Our Senate made a mistake in not ratifying the World ( ourt Stand by the Government There was a day when our government was regarded as a cruel tyrant, cracking the lash over its citizens. I That day is |>ast, and our people are no longer afraid of their government. hut regard it as a protecting agency full of sympathy and charity for every |>erson who obeys its laws.

" T" We notice that fine pure whisky in New York has killed .12 people. Now, that (an t he on account of prohibition, because that state has legal liquor that brings all of those phantom taxes about which liquor advocates boast.

A SPECIAL FERTILIZER FOR EVERY CROP A SPECIAL SERVICE FOR EVERY CUSTOMER EVERY CUSTOMER A FRIEND "BOB" EVERETT AGENT Eastern Cotton Oil Company NORFOLK, VIRGINIA COTTON GROWERS ARE URGED TO REDUCE CROP MAXIMUM AMOUNT Allotments Will Approximat duction, and Any Amot Percentage Is S Since tlie Bankhead allotments for 1935 will lie only a little larger than last year, Charles A. Sheffield, of State j College, recommends that all cotton growers sign adjustment contracts and reduce their crop by the maximum amount. The Bankheal allotments will ap proximate 65 per cent of the base pro duction, he explained, and any amount sold beyond jhis percentage will be subject to the tax. The contarcts permit a production of 75 per cent of the base acreage, but provide for larger rental payments to those who produce only 65 per cent, Sheffield added. Thus, the grower who produces 75 per cent will have to pay tax on the additional 10 per cent, and at the same time he will lose part of the rental payment which he otherwise would get. In the long run, Sheffield pointed out, the grower might lose more in Says It Is Better To Feed Scratch Feed in Hoppers There is some divergence-of opin io whether scratch feed should ?e fed, to chickens in hoppers or in he litter, but for sanitary reasons it - advisable to feed scratch in hop >ers Under ordinary circumstances, itter is not changed frequently enough nd quickly becomes polluted with coc ide worm eggs and possibly disease iroducing bacteria.

Columbus Brown vs. Cleo Brown The defendant above named will take lotice that an acthm entitled as above has been commenced in the superior court, Martin County, North Carolina, wherein plaintiff is demanding an ab solute divorce against defendant on account of continuous separation for wiorw than two years- and it further appealing that defendant will take no tice that she is required to appear at the office of the clerk of superior court of said county in the courthouse in :e 65 Per Cent of Base Pro-; int Sold Beyond This ubject To Tax this way than he would gain by the| sale of the extra cotton. However, exact figures cannot be given now, he went on, for they de pend upon the price of cotton next fall and the yield per acre this year. If a drouth or other handicap should I reduce the yield to far below normal, the grower would be better off with as large an acreage as possible, Shef field said, for even then he might not produce the full amount of his Bank head allotment. Or if the grower has a number of surplus tax-exemption certificates left over from last year, he may use these to advantage in selling any cotton he may produce in excess of this year's allotment. But if the yield in 1935 is anything like it was in 1934, with prices remain-' ing about the same, indications are' that the grower will do best by limit ing his acreage to 65 per cent of his base, Sheffield stated.
