INDUSTRIES MEAN PERMANENT GROWTH Los Angeles has had long been a wonder city. We have all heard it said that "it can't keep up" yet we have seen it go ahead year after year. Probably the secret of its success, more than any city in the United States, is due to a definite policy on the part of its Chamber of Commerce to encourage industrial development not only in Los Angeles but in the surrounding territory for 250 miles. The directors of the chamber knew that Los Angeles would grow in pro portion to the growth of southern California and the broad policy which they adopted is bearing fruit today in a remarkably prolific manner. Farmvillle would do well to get the "industrial idea" and push it on the same progressive lines as has Los Angeles. TAXATION TAKES PROPERTY That any state should confiscate all farm lands an make tenants of the occupants would seem unbelievable. But the process is under way, and at present rate of progress will be ac complished within lifetime of present generation. Dr. R. T. Ely, of the University , of Wisconsin, shows, by official tax rec ords of states, and also'figures com piled by bureau of economics of the department of agriculture, that the states will soon absorb by taxation all income of farm lands. . It is a principal of law to take the income from property is practically the same as to take the property it self. In Ohio, farm lands between 1880 and 1920 increased in value from $45.97 to $113.17 an acre, while taxes from 191S-21 increased 177 per cent I In Kansas values increas^froran ? *10.98 in 1880 to *62A0 in 1920, and I tax? 271 per cent from 1913 to 1921. I Since 1920, land values have de-| I cressed at an average of 20 per cent I I Taxes, on the other hand, have shown I I the opposite tendency. A statistical I I chart of tax? and farm income I I would show the line for taxes stead-1 I fly carving upward in the past eight I I years, and now near to the line of 1 I farm income. When it cross? that! I Una the work of confiscation is com-1 I plete. I "The power to tax is the power! I to destroy." i I I DONT BE THE 'OTHER FELLOW' I I About 15,700 lives were lost in mo-1 I tor. vehicle accidents (exclusive of I I grade crossing collisions between mo-1 I tor vehid? and trains) in the Unitedjl I Stat? during 1923, an increase of I I nearly 2fiOO over the 1922 record.

Whiteville Citizen Is Robbed of Strength Account of Hair Cut Whiteville, Aug. 19.?Andrew Car terett, 55, resident of the eastern part of this town, who has for years worn his grey hair in locks hanging down his back, came to town Saturday and and expressed his disgust at the ac tion of the three men, who, he claims, seized him at night, carried him into the woods and cut his much admired locks from his head.

COMMUNITY VESPER SERVICES A large number attehded the Ves per services on the school ground on Sunday afternoon last Rev. O. E. Fox conducted tfce impressive devo-l tional program and W. G. Sheppard as leader, directed the song service. A forcible sermon was delivere by Rev. J. W. Heyes, Episcopal rector, who took as his text one of the sel dom emphasized beatitudes: "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit j the earth." Mr. Heyes traced very [clearly the truth of this prophecy in generations past and earnestly urged his hearers to ever think of this statement not as a beautiful platitude to be framed and regarded as decora tive but as a practical and living truth. A solo, "Let Not Your Hearts Be Troubled," rendered by Miss Julia Willson, with piano accompaniment by Mrs. T. C. Turnage, added much to the beauty of the service. The service next Sunday wil lbegin as usual at 6:00 o'clock.
