Tinfrr tfiriiifi " > THE I^BWS4dtlllKAL '■ ' ■'MufiDAif;^^0Bi»-i;W''^' Poole’s Medley ■-V BY D. SCOTT POOLE While Hei^bert Hoover was Pres ident. he said every other row of cotton should be plowed'up, and when Franklin D. Roose%ilt was President he plbwed up cot ton and tobacco. Folks thought wise. Thej- got some cash they needed very badly.. . There has been expense con nected with that stuff plowed up that has never (been r^laced. Folks think money is the most desired thing, but it is not. Those crops planted, fertilized, and cul tivated should have been haiA'est- ed and stored untiil a time came when they were wanted. Nothing else was sensible, after it had been oroduced. Thomas Jefferson had extensive sreas ti lands. In that he was wrong. Too large ownership of any property increases a man’s ego,.so he will not love his neigh bor as himself, or is not likely to. A man is not a socialist because he will have LESS, but he has a hope of having a good deal he has no right to have. Yes, I have seen stinging cold in September, but none colder than one Saturday in this past September. Maybe pur grasshop pers freezed. There are more of those insects than usual this fall. The' President advises to stop wasting foods, and to eat. less. That is sound advice, but not comforting to those now hungr^^. Recently H. F. Seawell, Jr., of Carthage, wrote for the paper that iif the beer consumed by Ameri cans was loaded on railroad cars it would make a train 65 miles long. Some beer. The fellow who was carrying the ball, wins the apploudits of his fellowcountrymen, while^ the studious fellow who “burns the midnight oil”, and learns his textbooks, wins no, praise. ^ I am hardly able to justify any man’s position who says, “Liquor is evil, and nothing But evil”, and then votes to license the sale of EVTL I have equally as much confi dence in a man who says out right, “I want some money”, and gets a position im connection with a business which is evil, and ,!no- thing but evil, but needing money badly, “I am justified in selling liquor.” When the U. S. made a shipment of grain to starving Europe sev eral years ago, our Uncle Sam had to pay a bonus on t^e price .of wheat and that bonus sticks to the price of,bread material; same is true on meats. If Henry Wallace ever gets a nomination for the Presidency, it will not be from the Democratic party. No, Henry, no! “Love your enemies, do good to them that spitefully use you and persecute you”. That is what Henry Wallace wants us all to do. But to do that in this instance Bifans to sell out to Russia, and we have plenty of Russian ideas, contrary to the best ideas of poli tical economy. that land owner found a man in ano&er part of the state who had the money and let the distressed farmer have the money as long as he could pay the interest, and ^at was done in something like twenty years, when he had a chance to sell the timtoer' only and pay his debt. He had half a million dollars left with which he bought U. S. 4 per cent bonds, giving him an income of $20,000 A good farmer in Montgomery mortgaged all farm lands ■ and tiriiber he owned one year to get money to ,pay his just debts, when farm produce were at their lowest prices, and the man who lent him that money saw his chance to get very richer. He ad vertised the sale of that property in my paper. But, toy accident. lllllilllll SCOTLAND STOCK YARDS 1 Located on U.S. Highway I5-AV2 Mile North of Laurinburg, N.
