.:v THE NEWS-JOUBNAL. RAKTORD, N. C, At- THURSDAY, -HOi, NOIFSHEDIEY Br B. SCOTT POOLS 1 believe the “ceiling” idea will prove beneficial, but hiflation and depression are both at work in our country at this time, and I do not pretold to know the results. Hie wages of farm labor defines infla tion, and the price of cotton indi cates the other. One thing is certain there can be no fanning done with inflated labor wages and depressed cotton prices. And grains are as depressed in price as cotton. The prices for tobacco only kept fanners from “relief” this year. Farmers who had no tobacco are “on the hog’’. I remember a January, (1871 I believe) when every day in that month was dark and drizzly, except one, which was one of the prettiest of days, as fair as a whistle all day. Th? other 30 days were as cloudy as they could be—about like Friday, Dec. 11th. too many violent deaths are occuring too frequently, and accidental deaths are homocides often. The death rate in this war far e* ceeds that of any othw war of his tory and the destruction of property, diips, planes and buUdings. are be yond counting. The wealth of the world will be at its lowest known degree. A man’s intelligence service is not functioning correctly when he thinks intoxicating liquors will be of ben eflt to him. I will rejoice when ev erybody learns better than to drink intoxicants. At the Oregon State Hospital for the Insane one evening recently, 47 patients died from eating scrambled eggs for dinner, it was said in the news the day following, but since, doctors have decided a deadly" min eral poison used in killing insects had been put into that dinner, and the authorities investigated. Governments are not economical Courts are not doing as much func tioning as they might; nor are towns, cities, counties, states nor Federal governments using tax derived mon eys v/ith any sense of saving.

C.) - V IP Wkqt Wdk WAR BOIVDS Autumn comes gently here, along the banks of the Cape Fear— A cool wind shakes the rustling palmettos overhead, Magnolies glisten with golden light and red seeds flare among the leaves. The heavy pomegranates hang, sagging upon their branches, —^strange fruit which held Perse phone— and yellow quince. A mockingbird feeds quietly upon the camphor-berry bush and fragrance of sweet olive fills the dusk. When the Marines get their serv ice pack, thertfTs included tiierein a bright shiny new shovd cased in a muslin eerier. The shovel costa 68 cents and the carrier 39 cents, or $1.07 for the ensemble.

No one enjoys life so well while imd-T the influence of liquor. And, the "’orst of the matter is, the habit fastens, soon gets its victim where he c-nnot liberate, himself. And, it is ro -espector of persons. Sine" we came to Raeford in 1905, there have been a nurber of snows. As I was coming across Main street one day after an 8-inch snow, Frank Walkr-r was shovelling the snow from t'ne first filling station ever in Raeford. and I said: - ‘‘It reminds you of Pennsylvania doesn’t it Mr. Walker.” and he said: “Yes, it is a good dral like it”. And Dr. Dickson near bv. remarked: “We never had any such weather as this until after these dam Yankees began coming down here”. And Walker: Said: “It is not saying much for your town to let one man revolutionize ybur climate like this’’. Human life is entirely too cheap; afternoon, to his home in Fayette ville, ■ or perhaps to hold another term of court in some other county —didn’t have time to visit his home. Judges used to stop at the best ho tels in the towns where they held courts, and they lived there until af ter the dockets were cleared. Gas rationing should apply to all citizns living in the United States just alike 7t Three or perhaps four Hoke Coun ty boys have returned to their homes because of failing health, most like ly from malarial poisoning, or some thing of that sort—I am guessing, but Hoke County is « health resort, and they will likely recover in a few months. I It’s the truth. We little appreciate our pure water and air. There is little to contaminate these essentials to good health. However, there used to be considarabl'e typhoid fever in ^he sandhills, and the doctors never could account for it. I knew houses in Montgomery county, and in Richmond in which all w’no occupied them had typhoid fever, and in orte case in particular, every one of them died, and those houses rotted down tennantless.
