Time To Speak Now
Warehousemen are bemoaning the
fact that the farmers are not rushing
their tobacco crop to their markets.
Some farmers are complaining about
the injustices of the price ceiling set
by OPA. A South Carolina group, led
by master-politician Senator Burnet
R. Maybank. complained to the Pres
ident Tuesday, and a North Carolina
group met last night in Wilson under
the auspices of the Farm Bureau to
protest about prices.
If the cost of producing this year's
crop of tobacco is so great as to per
mit little or no profit under the pres
ent price ceiling or. if there is a gen
uine injustice in the ceiling regula
tions between the prices paid to farm
ers in the Georgia-Florida belt and to
those of the Carolina-Virginia belts,
the troubles should not only be aired
out now. but something should be
done immediately by the OPA to
straighten out the difficulties.
Both the farmers and the OPA
should speak now. There are hun
dreds of men working for the ware
houses now. and within two weeks
thousands of others will be employed
to handle the sales of the crop in the
other markets which are to open. If
the farmers are not going to sell their
crop until price adjustments are made,
these thousands of men will be sitting
around doing nothing at a time when
they could be doing advantageous
work on their own or other people's
farms. We have no labor hours to
waste now.
Overplaying
"Damyankee'
The News and Observer
Whenever there is a riot in the
North in which Negroes are wound
ed or killed by each other or by
whiles, sectional South-haters or ig
noramuses tbme it on those a thou
sand miles away. When Detroit
(chief city of a jtepublican state
with a Republican administration)
v:;s disgraced by a race riot, those
looking for an alibi told the world
it was due to the fact that Southern
ers had mowd to Detroit and carried
race prejudice with the". It turn
ed that the whetes who were engag
ed had no connection with the South.
The alibi of Detroit papers would not
stick. Detroit had to take its con
demnation without making a goat of
the South.
Then later came the riot and de
struction of property, beatings and
lootings in Harlem. Mayor LaGuar
dia, Walter White of the Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo
ple, city officials, the press and all
agreed that it was in no sense a race
riot. It was interracial. It started
when a hotel manager asked a police
man to arrest a Negro woman for dis
orderly conduct. The white officer
i was questioning the accused woman
! when a Negro soldier on leave seized
the policeman's night stick, beat him
with it. and ran. The patrolman fir
ed at the fleeing Negro and wounded
him. False rumors spread like wild
lire and soon Harlem was a madhouse,
and before the rioting and fighting en
dexi 500 civilians were injured, 40 po
licemen hurt and hundreds were ar
rested and many stores were looted
of their goods.
In trying to assess the blame the
newspaper PM goes out of its way
and says "Southern reactionaries
. must be gloating over the darr.nyan
i kee discomfiture."
I There were no people in the South
i who gloated over the terrible event
; in Harlem. On the other hand they
regretted it and all mob or race trou
. bles anywhere. The only feeling was
; regret that Harlem was cursed by an
i outburst of passion and lawlessness.
The South feels ashamed when there
i is a resort to such barbarism as used
' in a Texan town recently or as dis
' graced l'etroit. or as dishonored Har- !
lorn. Good people everywhere are
distressed at such evidence of hood- '
lumisin whether by whites or Negroes '
in tiie North or in the South. Instead
of supposing there are any in the
South who gloat because of such out- j
breaks in the North, and overdoing
the old silly term "damyankce" used
more in New York than in North Car- :
1-lina. PM should join The News and
Observer in condemning such dis- i
graceful scenes wherever they occur, j

ON A FREE PRESS
! The only security of all is in a free j
press. The force"- of public opinion
cannot be resisted, when permitted
freely to be expressed. The agita
. tion it produces must be submitted
: to. It is necessary to keep the waters
pure. We are all. for example, in
agitation even in our peaceful
country. For in peace as well as in
. war. the mind must be kept in motion.

Seventeen Carloads
Feed Seized By State
Ralegh. N. C August 11-D S.
C.ltrane. assistant to the Commission
er of AgncuHure. declared recently
that the Slate Department of Agricul
ture has seized and condemned a to
t,l of 510 Ions-17 carloads of
ground feed wheat shipped into this
Slate by the Union National Mills, of
Springlield. Ohio.
This is the largest seizure in the
history of the department said Col
tiane. The feed was seized for poor quaIi
ty, shortage in weight, and for lack
of analysis tags.
Shipments of the feed were made
by the Ohio Company to various man
ufacturers and dealers in Goldsboro,
Asheboro, lleidsville. Wadesboro,

that North Car lina is one of the lead
ing states in the production of pulp
wood and that "a large part" of the
responsibility for Increased production
rests on this State. He urged the
Governor to call upon all farmers and
!o:r.be: men to do "everything within
their p.v.ver" to increase production
at this time.
The War Production Board, consid
ering the matter of an "urgent" na
fore, soon will launch an intensive
advertising campaign through daily
and weekly newspapers of North Car
olina and other pulpwood-producing
states to bring to the attention of the
people the necessity of increasing
pulpwood production.
The Govern r has written Nelson,
plf dgir.g the "lullc-st cooperation" of
all agencies of the state in helping to
stimulate increased pulpwxid production.
Iron, Magnesium
Coal Deposits May
Be Developed
Raleigh, The H. A. Brasert and
company, consulting mining engineers
has reported the probable presence of
more than 46.000.000 tons of coal in
j the Deep River area, sometimes re
I ferred to as the Sanford coal field, and
j said it was technically possible to de
velop an economical process for the
! manufacture of magnesium from wes
I tern North Carolina olivine.
Magnetic surveys led to the reason
able certainty of large quantities ot
iron ore of exceptionally good grade,
from which may be manufactured
steel of the highest quality, the report
said. It added, however, that ore in
this state was not believed to be of
sufficient quantity to indicate heavy
blast furnace operations, but suited to
the simpler and less expensive sponge
iron process.
C. mmenting on the report. Gover-
; nor Broughton said it indicated the
need for extensive drilling operations
, to confirm estimates as - mineral re
sources and to determine definitely
the areas in which such resources lie.
