C., under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. _ Friday, January 20, 1933 Too Much Conoslidation We strongly favor economy, but when everything governmental in our State is cut down to one push button in Raleigh, woe be unto our liberties. 1 he little folks have made a muddle of their affairs, and so have the big one. This county is getting along just as well as the State and there isn t half as much politics in it. We are about to lose every opportunity to open our mouths about our schools; in fact, everything else is being sacrificed to consolidation. And so far no reduction has been made, but there has been plenty talk, to be sure. Lording It Over the U. S. Senate Huey Long, the “Kingfish” from Louisiana, is hold ing the United States Senate to the fire, and for this time we agree with him. We have had so much gold bug bank legislation in the past that some folks seem to think that every congressional act affecting the currency should be pleasing to Wall Street. And when a law is passed that pleases that crowd, it always hurts all the other folks. Huey can’t do a better thing than to push for more money by the government and for the people. The more he hurts Wall Street the better it will be for the rest of us. A Measure That Will Help Congress is apparently about to pass a law con tinuing through this year the practice of loaning money to farmers for the purchase of seed, feed, and fertilizers. This has been one of the most helpful things that our government has ever done for the farmer. It has not given him anything, but it has helped him in his time of need, when no other help was available, to go forward until he could get a foothold; and the prospect for the continuance of this help will be hailed by hundreds of thousands of people who can not plant a crop this year without some help. So far, the Martin County farmers who have been helped by these loans during the past two years have been very prompt in making their payments. Prac tically all of them have shown a disposition to “pull fair” with the government. in’t Go To Town While there will beVme peopel on the various pay rolls in Williamston tm<i year> if seems now that it would be very unwise for'-^ybody to stop farming to come to town to make an easy ^living- This mistake has been made by too many folKS-S!f^$f The man in the country without work or an in come is in a tough spot, it is true, but not half so bad off as the fellow in town under the same condi tions. We are rapidly reaching the point where every man is expected to do the best he can for himself. And in the future the man who has not tried to help himself will find little respect and but few favors. Only those who are truly pressed down by misfortune will be included on the rolls of charity. R. F. C. and Unemployment New and Observer The country has been disappointed in the number of unemployed who have been given work by reason of the big loans by the Reconstruction Finance Cor poration. That body now gives it Out that the loans authorized for great construction projects throughout the country aggregate $146,535,000, which is expect ed to give many thousand jobs to workers. Other additional projects are to be approved. The money loaned to banks, railroads, and insur ance companies helped to stabilize these concerns, but the expectation that these loans would turn the wheels and give employment to many workers has been most disappointing. If the expected employment had ma terialized, the big loans to states to feed the unem ployed would not have been as large as has proven necessary. Colonel House As Advisor Colonel Edward M. House must be a very wise man. He advised Woodrow Wilson, and he is now telling Mr. Roosevelt how to act and what to do. Just one thing we’ve got against the Colonel, how ever. That is that after the death of President Wil son, he apparently claimed most of the Wilson ad ministration honors, which we have never thought was either fair or true. They Confess on Each Other Once upon a time two little boys who were left at home in the absence of their parents got into a bit of mischief. When the father returned the next day he gave the older boy a good strapping. John went to his younger companion in iniquity and said, "Wells, how do you reckon dad found out about what we did. “'Oh/' said the little chap, ‘I 'fessed." "Then why didn't he lick you, too,” said John. “I just 'fessed on you,” explained Wells. Some vears ago Judge Artman quoted the confes sions of an Indianoplis brewer and a Louisville dis tiller. Each one confessed on the other. “'Whiskey, said the Indianapolis brewer, "makes drunkards and wrecks, creates disease, fires the passions, frenzies the brain, and causes the nameless crimes and wrongs which are charged against the entire liquor traffic. "Is that so?” queried the distiller. "Beer is far worse to the health than whiskey. It clogs the liver, rots the kidneys, decays the heart and arteries, stupe fies the brain, chokes the lungs and bronchia, loads the body with dropsied tluid and unwholesome fat, causes rheumatism, erysipelas and other painful and disgusting diseases, and finally drags its victim to the grave while other men are in the prime of mental and bodily vigor.—Selected. Under the Beacon Light __.By WALTER H. PARAMORE This issue of the Roanoke Beacon is dedicated to E. //. Liverman, who is one of the leading mer chants of the present and who is a church worker and a civic worker who means much to Washing ton County. Paramount in his achievements have been the new method of sales service inaugurated by Mr. Liverman in an effort to help the farmers who are forced to sell their products below their work, and Mr. Liverman has begun accepting farm produce at a premium in a bartering method in exchange for merchandise and cash. Then again his activities in the community as a civic worker are more forcibly portrayed in his work as president of the Plymouth Chamber of k ommerce. Each day with his organization Mr. Liverman is studying plans to increase the employment of the peo ple in the community and to endeavor to attract to Plymouth new industries. As a church worker he ranks among the best, as he lives a good life himself and uses his influence as well as his square dealing to draw people to the church. And as a speaker and worker in the church he is pos sibly unexcelled in Washington County in his efforts. To such a man this issue of the Beacon is ded icated, and the Beacon’s toast to him is “Long may you live and enjoy prosperity for your efforts in making and building a more prosperous Wash ington County.” -o The prize joke this week is told by Henry S. Mid gette: Indian trapper to banker: “How about a loan? This is where money is loaned, they told me. Want $25 for provisions for my trapping trip this winter in the big woods.'’ Banker: “Sure, this is where you borrow money. Where is your collateral? Yes; collateral is what you deliver into my hands to guarantee payment of the amount borrowed. Allow me to keep five of your best horses until you return the money." The five horses were placed in the stables of the banker and were worked while the Indian was away trapping. But the Indian returned loaded down with fine and costly furs, which he sold to a buyer and real ized $5,000 in cash. Then to the bank to pay his Ip?:;. Banker, after counting out the moneyto him: “Well, now that you have money ft "ji~dangerous for you to carry it arouncj in your pockets. Some one may rob you, flow about depositing it in the bank?" Indian: “How many horses have you got?” -o Playlet This Week Is a True Story ’Way back when the world was younger than it is today, a couple of boys were coming home on a cold night from Roper, where they had been courting the girls. It was late. The wind was chilly. The horse was a good traveler. And the boys were la—, or mis chievous, and neither of them was over 17 years of age. Zeb Vance Norman to his friend: “I am not going to take this horse out from the buggy, and if there is any unharnessing done, you will have to do it. Whew! Isn’t it chilly?” Roy Hampton replied: “I furnished the horse and buggy and have done the driving, and it seems to me that you should take care of the horse when we reach home. Anyway, I pledge my word that I am not go ing to take out the horse.” When the young men reached home, they were as good as their word, and the horse was driven under the buggy shelter and left hitched to the buggy, but was tied to a post to keep him from wandering in the night. Next morning dawned bright and cold and the night riders were still asleep when W. H. Hampton found the horse tied to the post under the buggy shelter. Here is what happened: Father Hampton called his son from the slumbers and administered to him a good thrashing; and in the meanwhile young Norman awoke after a bad dream and he could hear the proceedings, so he slipped out of a window and went home and was a good boy for a while.
