Where the Big Trades Are Made
There seems to lie one thine thai nobody ever eel
above?and that is the Congressional jkirk barrel.
Some of us may seem to get above the (iork it-elf. but
we still do not eel too proud to hane around the old
barrel nhelher you call it the svvill tnl>. the trough,
or any other name you may chocw for it. There is
always a flock around it. and there is no complaint
about whatever you call it.
And the Congressional |mrk barrel is where the big
trades are made, mostly for office.
The Wrong Way
Law enforcement officers have so often failed in
Columbus County that a number of the liest people
if the county have banded Themselves together to try
to right things although it is in the,wrong way.
They are working oh the premise that they never
make a mistake, and they do not give the other fellow
the right of a hearing, which is in itself a very danger
ous proceeding. It gives both good and bad men the
right to hand themselves together for the purpose of
making others see things just as they do.
There is nothing better in the whole plan of law
enforcement than our present method of trial in open
court, where each side is given a fair op|Hirlunity to
prove his or her or their contentions.
However, it is sometimes hard to get justice done
in the courts. The lawbreaker always has the advan
i pom. m?r.. Iin-e w.. g'.v.. I. i.f ooyv
for witnesses and jurors than from any other cause.
' Our best way to go about correcting things is not
to band ourselves together to execute the law but to
stand together to see the law executed.
Democracy Unanimobs
baseball suffered greatly last week and the week
liefore as a conversational topic, chiefly because of
the m-mocratic convention. The entire country has
liecn looking forward to the time when it might Cele
brate another great Roosevelt Hay. Not in a him
dred years has a presidential candidate lieen nomi
nated on the Democratic ticket without a single dis
senting ballot. It is truly marvelous that a man who
has Iteen I'resident for four years can command the
unanimous sup|?>rt of ahy convention fur a new term,
This single fact alone shows that he is of Iht highest
type of leader.
Of course, we know there are those who are bit
terly opposed to him and who, in a former day, would
have fought him; hut democracy has now so estab
lished itself in the minds and Hearts of the people that
they are unwilling to listen to that ty|<e of politicians,
who simply want to dominate the earth for their own
selfish interests, and unless all signs change, i'ranklin
I). Roosevelt is going to sweep the country by a ma
jorily unknown before in American history.
New Peanut Statistic Daw
Sufinlk Sacs-Herald
President Roosevelt yesterday signed into law the
new measure providing for the publication of statis
tics on i*'.inuts in the raw state. The law will oper
ate similarly to that controlling cotton which requires
gamers to report the number of bales ginned and ware
houses and others the amount of cotton stored or
on hand.
We have not seen a copy of the peanut statistics
law. but it probably provides for operators of picking
machines to re|*>rt the number of bags picked. After
the nuts are marketed, millers, warehousemen, and all
persons or firms buying or storing the raw product
will lie required to report to the agricultural depart
ment [K'riixlically.
If the statistics law works well with cotton factors
we see no reason why it should not lie as helpful to
the (teanut industry. It seems to us that it will re
due op|nirtunities for specu l.ition and have a stabil
izing effect upon the market.
It should be-a protection to millers and to proces
sors. The carry-over known, it should have effect of
governing production and thereby prevent surpluses.
Shelters and cleaners would be able to take full ad
vantage of the law of supply and demand which reg
ulates prices. Producers would be protected as well
through this same knowledge.
It seems to "us that this law places the peanut ill-'
dustry on a higher plane than ever before in its his
tory. No one will ever again lie taking a leap in the
dark so far as the actual supply of peanuts on hand
is concerned. It will reduce, if not eliminate, the
gamble
Egg Production Is
Lower This Year
Egg production in North Caro.
lina will be below normal thig sum
mer, and unless good carf is given
the flocks, the eggs will be of in
ferior quality.
To make the most of high sum
mer prices, said Roy S. Dearstyne,
head of the poultry department at
[State College, poultiyinen will need
to take special pains with their
flocks and eggs.
The first step, he said, is to pro
duce infertile eggs, as tfiey are bet
ter for immediate consumption and
they also will keep in good condi
tion for a longer period than fer
tile eggs
Keep the' nests clean, he added,
so the eggs will not have to be
cleaned before marketing. Eggs
not to be consumed immediately
should not tie washed, as washing
removes front the shells a piutec
tive substance that is" needed to
prevent rapid deterioration.
In hot weather, eggs should be
collected several times a day and
stored immediately in a cool, moist
place where there is plenty of ven
tilation. A spring house or cellar
is an ideal place
Air in the storage room should
be free from strong odors, as eggs
readily absorb such odors from the '
atmosphere.
Candle eggs, especially in surer,
to keep inferior ones oil the mar
ket. Good prices can be commanded
only by poullrymen who maintain
a reputation for selling good eggs.
Deliveries should be made more
frequently in summer than in win
ter, as this is necessary to supply
the trade with strictly finish eggs.
To bring high prices, eggs must
look good. Customers demanding
high quality eggs will not pay top
prices -for small, dirty, or cracked
eggs, Dearstyne warned.
