C„ under the act of Congress of March 3, 1879. Friday, October 2, 1936 Buying a Deceived Public Landon says that the government should tighten up the rules governing business but that it should not attempt in any way to manage business. His words can mean but one thing. Professing to want the government to tighten down the rules gov erning business, he really wants that governmetn to be chosen and dominated by the business that it is supposed to govern, which means another Harding, a Coolidge, or a Hoover to do the governing exactly as big business directs that they should do. We do not want a government directed by the rich for the purpose of exploiting the poor, and everybody knows that the DuPonts, Morgans, Rockefellers and their ilk are giving great sums to the Landon cam paign fund for the privilege of bossing government; and if they do, it will be a great blow to liberty. They propose to go out and openly buy up a deceived pub lie. Colonel Knox Far From the Truth There were 8,323 bank failures during Hoover’s term of office—and Colonel Knox was one of his ad visors. The loss to depositors under that administra tion was about 33,000,000,000. Since President Roose velt's term of office began, there have been 122 bank failures; and not a single depositor with $5,000 or less on deposit has lost a penny. Therefore, Colonel Knox did not tell the truth when he said in a recent speech that bank accounts and insurance policies are unsafe now. If the Hoover policies had been continued after 1933 Knox knows that the insurance companies would all have had to go under. Pay no attention to Knox. He is not sincere. All that he wants is to reinstate the Republicans and give us a little bit of Hoover and let the value of our prop erty go to nothing again. Beware! Time Now To Act Another marketing season for peanuts in this sec tion is near at hand, the growers passing by any and all opportunities now to make selling profitable in the future. They are waiting their time to complain should prices prove cheap. But now is the time to act even though no one knows definitely what can be done to assure fair returns for this goober crop. Over in the peanut sections of Virginia, Farm Bu reau federations are already preparing appeals to the federal agricultural authorities asking that a portion of the crop be converted into oil and other measures taken, if possible, to hold up prices this fall and winter. The farmers in the neighboring state, fully realizing the power in concerted action, are up and doing now that their rights might be protected when they go to market with their current peanut crop. With some possible exceptions, farmers in this section continue to sit back and the most they do is grumble about the low price ot tobacco, peanuts and cotton. The Farm Bureau, sad to relate, is receiving poor support in its first efforts to organize the far mers into a body that the right of agriculture might claim its right place in the sphere of industry and recognition in the legislative halls of State and Na tion. Apparently there is more satisfaction to be had by howling loud and long than higher commodity prices will afford. There is no doubt but what a single appeal from an organized farm body in this county and from other organized bodies in every peanut-growing county in the belt would cause officials to sit up and take notice of the claim for fair prices. But, we hold back and refuse to join a movement that costs $2 because we can’t see immediately in front of us a return one hun dred times twm dollars. The present national administration has done much for agriculture these past two or three years, but be fore much more is to be had we must do something for ourselves. And if we fail to do anything for ourselves, then don’t sit back and howl when starvation prices are offered by buyers. The Japanese Purpose Japan apparently has done everything she possibly can to insult and abuse China. She has plundered Chinese homes, stolen their lands by force of arm , and, in fact, she has imposed on China in every way possible in order to cause trouble for the purpose of stealing a little more territory. The Japanese pur pose evidently is to finally take the whole of the Chi nese territory, just as son as she learns how to work and feed the Chinese people. The Winners in Maine Here is a partial list of contributors to the Republi can campaign fund in Maine prior to the recent elec tion: All this totals up to more than $50,000, which was put into Maine to help insure the election of Repub licans. These people can well afford to put up this amount of money, because if they can defeat Roose velt, then they can make enough out of the govern ment to get it back many times over; the DuPonts will be able to get their subscriptions back out of powder contracts alone. In other words, they know that Landon will let them have their way about the government, and will ‘‘take care” of them. The Republican National Committee charges Pres ident Roosevelt with great extravagance, claiming that he has increased the public debt by $12,842,000,000. At the same time they blame the President for set ting up the Federal Housing Administration, the Home Owners’ Loan Corporation, and many other helpful governmental agencies that have saved mil lions of people and their property—and which con stitute an offset of about $8,317,000,000 against the twelve billion dollar debt. Also included in the agen cies attacked by the Republicans is the Federal Farm Mortgage Corporation, which has saved many thous ands of farm homes throughout the United States, as well as providing loans for farmers to produce crops. It would seem that the wealthy would place the country under the old feudal system of the middle ages, vesting all rights in the power of those who have the money. frenee DuPont Pierre S.

The Highway Commission was unanimous last Fri day in turning down the protest of six counties a gainst the location it had selected for its million-and a-half dollar bridge across the Albemarle Sound. The , commission had reasons sufficient unto itself to justi fy it in turning down the arguments of the people to be served and carrying through to completion this ex pensive project in the face of the opposition, main taining its intention to spend a million and a half dollars when the people who want the bridge urged a location for it that would have required less than two thirds this expenditure. These reasons may be suffic ient and convincing to the highway commission, but it is doubtful that they are convincing to the remain der of the state, particularly in sections of the eats which have not been so greatly favored by the High way Commission as has that area around' Elizabeth City and Edenton, home cities of Commissioner Wood and Governor Ehringhaus. It is difficult to understand how the Highway Com mission can maintain its position for building an ex pensive bridge at a point where the people be served declare it will be a hindrance to progress ratehr than a help, when a better location at less cots is favored by majorities of the counties and the people to be served in the counties of the Albemarle area. It is still more difficult to understand how the Highway Commission will be able to justify its action in the minds of the remainder of Northeastern North Car olina that is mired up in mud and to whose requests for highway improvements the answer is that there is no money available. With the majority of the people of eastern North Carolina, and the State as a whole, the reasons that are so satisfactory to the Commission will neither jus tify the expenditure of so great an amount of high way funds for a bridge satisfactory only to the peo ple of Edenton and Elizabeth City, nor the location of it at a point objectionable to the majority of the counties it is supposed to serve. Succeeds Through Efforts What one can do when one wishes to do has been well demonstrated recently by a fast-aging old lady in this county. Instead of turning to relief agencies for aid, she earns her own, meets her obligations, and while she does not have much she finds pleasure in her honest efforts. Possessing a small plot of land in a rural section several miles from a modern highway, this citizen has just completed the harvesting of over half hun dred dollars from a grapevine of no great size. She worked hard, picking the grapes by hand that no for eign matter might find its way into the ten-cent bags she peddled up one street side and down the other day after day during these past two or three weeks. Il one wanted no grapes, it was all right with her, for she would go only a few steps before she approached another person with the question, “Any grapes to day?” vv The harvesting of the grapes and the marketing work proved to be quite a task, but she handled it manfully, and made about as much as some robust farmer made after nursing a tobacco crop from Janu ary to October. Hut the amazing part of it all is the determination of the woman to go forward. Where others have giv en up and quit trying, this citizen tried all the harder and apparently is succeeding. Her property is not in the delinquent tax list, and no doubt few others would be facing foreclosure proceedings if they strived as hard as this woman strives; yes, even half as hard.
