C„ under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879._____ . Friday. September 7. 1934 The Cotton Textile Strike Well, what about the big strike in all the cotton mills, scheduled to begin September 1? We should not have a strike because there is a better way to set tle differences. Vet there are two distinct sides to the controversy. The investor wants dividends. The worker wants a living, and there is the foundation of the tight and the controversy will not down. Since mill owners and mill laborers are going to the same schools, attending the same churches, vot- - ing in the same ballot boxes, we will find it necessary to make some adjustment in their business relation ships that will give each side a fair deal. There was a day in the history of man when we had two classes of people. The one had to bow down and call the other lord and master; while the other looked down and called them dogs. That was when one class did all the work and the other got all the j profits. But give thanks for the present day. Man has awakened to the knowledge that he is only a brother to his fellowman and not a subject for slavery. \\ hile the mill has reserved for itself the right to fix wages and blow the whistle without consulting the laborer in the days gone by, the laborer is no longer willing to bow to that system and feels he has the right, as one of the chief cooperative component parts of the industry, to sit in with the owners and discuss the questions involving the welfare of both sides—so that the investor of money and the investor of labor each can live and preserve a medium of society that wdl bring peace, prosperity and happiness to both sides. | Mill owners have heretofore thought it beneath i their dignity to talk this type of business over with their hirelings. It is a die-hard question for a mas ter to give up a servant. It has always been so. The ten plagues of Egypt caused Pharoah to want the children of Israel to leave, yet he recanted and tried to recapture them. In our own country, the slave-owner fought to re tain his slave and suffered to have his son slaughtered to that end. So we have always fought to retain our slaves. And it seems to be natural for most men to want slaves to do their work for them and produce profits for fu ture use. This is the cause of the textile war, which should not have to be settled by discord, strikes, and strife, but should be settled in a brotherly way. which will have to be done some day. hor no man can master an intelligent slave. It is against all human his tory. When the slave strides into the school with his mas ter, he at once becomes his equal, whether with or without money or station in life. Another score for our free public educational sys tem. Don't destroy it. Pay More—And Get More News comes from every quarter of North Carolina that many of the best teachers are resigning their po sitions in the schools to enter other tields of work. They are not to be blamed. A wise thing it seems when we consider the salaries paid teachers and the rigid requirements demanded of them. The schools will eventually have to pay decent salaries or the school system will suffer great ly. A man or a woman with the character, training and ability will not enter any life’s work that does not offer more inducements than the teaching profes sion now offers, and the future teachers will have to come from those who use the profession as a stepping stone to something higher. Fay more, require more and you will get more. September Planting Month September is the rye month. Rye holds the fer tility in the soil, keeps it from washing, gives good grazing and furnishes vegetable matter to make a better crop next year. All good farmers say it pays to sow rye. The hogs, the cows, the horses, and the hens all like it. Some good farmers recommend sowing more rye and buying less costly fertilizers. Oats will make just as good grazing as rye, but will not stand as much cold. You can also sow turnips, rutabagas, and a half dozen other garden crops now. It pays to have plenty of w'inter "greens. " They are cheaper than high priced meats and better for you. It will be too late to sow pretty soon. _ ■ Deadly Enemies Newspapers for a price are the most deadly enemies the country faces today. Big business has thousands of men writing for them, praising their work and trying to discredit every move that is made for democracy. Many newspapers are owned or dominated by these j fellows, and it is surprising to see the power they have over the ordinary mind. Mr. DuPont, one of the favored wealthy, think' we need to restore confidence. That is not what he j wants, however. He wants to restore a particular kind of confidence. He knows that since the inaug uration of President Roosevelt 95 per cent of the American people have gained confidence in their gov ernment and know that it will no longer stand for the wealth of this country to dictate government and suck the life blood out of our entire business system while poverty stalks the homes of the laborer, the farmer, the teacher, the doctor, the lawyer. So. Mr. DuPont, you are mistaken when you say the people have lost confidence in the government. What you want is the restoration of confidence for you and your gang that you may have privileges with out bounds to gamble and speculate on the govern ment's resources, on the products of the laborer, and the crops from the farms. And then let you go fur ther, make shot and shell and high explosives, then go out and talk war so you can sell them for big profits and have young men slain on battlefields in order to increase your profits. Mr. DuPont, your loss of confidence means nothing more than your realization that under the new deal you cannot plunder, rob and kill human beings to in crease your ill-gotten gains. The truth is the honest people have confidence in the new deal. It is the greedy gang which has been curbed in their nefarious designs who have lost con fidence.. And, Mr. DuPont, vou are one of the fellows who are trying to fool the folks. If they are wise, they will not believe you. Schools Open Again Soon School? are on the eve of opening for another ses sion. What condition will the three-quarters of a million children in North Carolina present when they enter upon their work for the 1934-35 school year? How much worth-while knowledge have they gained since the close of the last school year? Have they gathered lessons of culture, modesty, and a finer sense of the human association and duties to society, or have they been permitted to enter a wider range of selfishness and bigotry, a greater determination to do as they plase? Are they more determined to shirk their du ties to parents, home and church? Have they neg lected too many of the duties of life and a willingness to work for the games and fads of the day? Will they be prepared to make the grade and go into a higher class at the end of the year, or will they slum ber and shirk the work that is necessary to make good men and women and hold not only themselves but others back in their classes? The cost of educating “repeaters" in school is very heavy. Yet some parents will permit their children to loiter around the streets and waste their time and fail at the end of the year. Such parents should be double-taxed, if such failure is caused for the same reason that is generally found to exist. No father or mother has the right to let their child waste their time and then let the public pay the extra cost of teaching their child for another year for no reason except carelessness, neglect, and laziness. Parents should remember that most children who fail in school are likely to fail in life. Do not let your children fail. Lead them on. Work Or Go Hungry All those people who have failed to make due prep artions will soon hear the cry “The harvest is past, ihe summer is over and gone.’’ Then they will have to listen to the wail of the winter wind and face the pangs of hunger until springtime comes again. Of course, they e\[3ect the government or some organiza tion to feed them. What we need is a citizenship willing to do all they can to care for themselves. It is a great burden to have to carry the lazy and slothful that never make any effort to do their part in making their own liv ing. It will be a good thing to teach every man how to earn a living and then, if he fails through his own neglect, let him go hungry until he is willing to work. Wise Farmers Scotland Xeck Commonwealth. Hats off to farmers of Georgia, North and South Carolina who so wisely are using their tobacco money to wipe out production credit debts before attempting to partake of luxuries. According to information from the Farm Credit Administration, many Georgia farm ers have completely wiped out their entire production credit debts and other farmers of the Carolinas are taking advantage of the opportunity offered by the excellent prices they are receiving for their tobacco j to reduce their indebtedness to the governmnt. Only yesterday we heard of several local farmers who had al ready paid off in full their government loans which were used to produce the crop, and the cash from the tobacco crop did the work, they said. It looks like the down-trodden farmer is getting a break this year, and his joys are being shared by every one alike, for we all rejoice in the dawning of the new day for the man of the soil. Those men who are using their first tobacco money to curtail or wipe out their government loans are us ing the wisdom of Solomon and will be free to spend the rest of their “weed" money for the luxuries they want. We commend their actions and rejoice with them in the prices they are getting for their crops.
