I THE ROANOKE BEACON And Washington County News Published Every Friday in Plymouth, Washington County, North Carolina WALTER H. PARAMORE Managing Editor The Roanoke Beacon was established in 1889 and consolidated with the W ashington County News in 1929. Subscription Rates In Washington, Martin, and Tyrrell Counties One year — $1.50 six months - 3S Outside o£ Above Counties One year *2.00 Six months (Strictly Cash in Advance) Advertising Rates Furnished Upon Request Entered as second-class matter at the post office in Plymouth, N. C.. under the act of Congress ot March 3, 1879. __ Friday, December 14. 1934 Vote For Continuation Next to the reverence of the Almighty is the duty c f the Southern farmer to support the Bankhead Cot ton Acat and the Kerr-Smith Tobacco Control Act at the polls Friday of this week. Upon these two acts depends the farmer's welfare and that of his wife and children, and their failure will no doubt result in near starvation. loss of home and farm sooner or later. Of all the acts earnestly advanced lo relieve the plight of the farmer, the two up for consideration this Friday are the most important. The farmer will reg ister his opinion, and his alone, on the great issues designed to protect his inlerests 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 better off than they were in 1931 and 1932. In those years we had a large acreage and a large production of cotton and tobacco. We are not trying to tell farmers how 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 tobacco and sold at starvation prices. Proof Supports Success of New Deal There are hundreds of definite proofs that the New Deal is succeeding. First of all was the great vote given it by the people who have been benefited by it. Second is the uncompromising hatred the fel lows who caused the depression and starvation have for it. Those two reasons would be sufficient 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 own country life put first and property last in values, and that is exactly the point upon which the New Deal has won. Those many fellows who have been gradually pushed down the hill until they grew 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. Going further in the operation of the New Deal, we find the farmer getting more for his cotton, corn, hogs, 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 return in this country. Aggregations of wealth must not depress fair profits of individuals. A Verdict We Don’t Like Juries do many things. Sometimes they render just verdicts, and very often they render very unjust verdicts. Personally, we differ from the Insull 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. Consider the Fcts First In appealing to home 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 northern 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 better than the real article. The order was entered. \\ hen the package arrived, the apparent profit of 40 cents was wiped out and 18 cents over by a carrying charge of 58 cents. She also found that the glowing description in the sales leaflet, while not misrepresentative, wa‘ power ful in its appeal to the extent she thought she was get I ting a bargain when in reality she got an article hard j 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 organization, this society and that society, this thing and that thing, all worthy calls, to be sure, and he answ-ers 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 small and fair profit. He brings the goods to you for your inspection. He pays the freight. He makes 1 necessary adjustments, and he serves you personally, i Local merchants are buying heavily for the Christ i mas business this year with the hope that you will i give them an opportunity to offer their services in ' filling your Christmas shopping needs. Be Sure To Vote Friday Fifty-seven percent of the jreople of the United * States are farmers. Last year they got only eight I percent of the national income. This year, under the j tobacco and cotton control acts they are getting 12 ! percent of the national income. This means that 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 j look voting Friday December 14th on the two all im portant measures. Government Changes Wage Scale The best way to handle idlers is one of our big problems today. During the campaign of working the idle people, our government has paid prices very much higher than employers could pay in many sec tions which proved very pleasing to those actually in ' need, but it went further by inducing too many people to rush to the employment offices and quit such jobs as they had. The high prices paid by the govern ment naturally gave government workers twice as I much leisure as the farmers and other workers had I in the community, and the results occasioned much dissatisfaction on the ground that it was not fair for the man who feeds himself to have to work twice as j much as the man who the government feeds. Now the error is to be corrected by paying the man who works on a government job the same price per ! hour as the other laboroer of the community gets. This rule will have a tendency to make the easy job, high pay worker seek a job for himself, and it is : doubtless the surest way to give men sell reliance. There are already too many folks not half trying j to earn a living, a thing they will never do until they j find it absolute necessary. With the big cut in the I wage scale from that paid last season, men will neces , sarily have to do more and they will certainly be bet | ter citizens. ; No man is entitled to eat on the public until he has exhausted his own power to feed himself. When he has done that no body will complain when he goes to : seek aid from the government. Feeding men to loaf is a mistake, and the govern ment is to be commended for paying him less and i working him more. EXECUTRIX’S NOTICE Having qualified a9 executrix of the estate of the late W. W.
