In this machine gun age, those who handle cash had beter keep a watchful eye. -1 The monetary problem is nothing new. It has been acute with us for four years. A1 and Franklin D. just ni>w seem to realize it. * A census of industry shows thwT over one third of ttie total working time of the world is spent in doing cleaning. Yet, there still is a lot of dirt. I ] . — Monroe has confiscated forty-four slot machines worth about $2,500, and it seems to us a good idea. These things are just snares and traps for gullibles and besides, we never could win anything on one anyway. The tax on a package of cigarettes is 275 per cent nlore than the factory price of the packages, yet do we hear smokers complain about high tobacco tax? I - Street corner economists—and who isn’t one these days?—are limp in the collar arguing the paradox of higher wages for men on relief work than for men with regular jobs. They say employed men will want to quit tfceir jobs to get on the relief, but that’s absurd. The relief jobs are only temporary. They will last about 90 days here. And if higher wages are paid for a short time, these men who have ben jobless for months, through no fault of their own, deserve them. Moreover, riinemhor that every cent of that wage money will be spent at home. THAT GROVER ROAI) ShelBy not only wants a hard surface road connect ing with Grover, but there is another reason why this project should be pressed. About $225,000 .has been ap propriated to make a National Park at the Kings Moun tpnrBattleground, a few miles to the south of Grover. Gastonia friends of the park are now engaged in get ting options on land in the park area and if these op tions cbe secured at a reasonable price, the govern ment. will step in and make this historic spot a national s|rine that will attract thousands of visitors. •' The Shelby-Grover road would give us direct con nection with the Battleground and visitors would stop oyer in Shelby going to and from the spot. Then the Bankhead highway between New York and New Orleans passes Grover and the proposed road from Shelby will give a direct connection between No. 20 and the Bank head highway. OUr citizens should leave no stone unturned to get this road project as promised over a year ago by the state highway commission. To succeed in our efforts, however, the matter should be brought constantly to the attention of the proper authorities so there will be no forgetting of the promise made or of our rights in the matter of road building. INFLATION IS HERE However the technical economists may deline in flation, and by whatever means it is, or may be, achiev ed, its effect on the average consumer is merely this: hjs dollar buys less goods. We might get inflation by issuing fiat money. That is to say, tokens secured by no gold or silver col lateral in the Federal Treasury. This is the kind of policy that felled the German mark so disastrously in the post-war debacle, and is widely frowned upon here. Mr. Roosevelt will hardly adopt that procedure. But he has adopted another which, by whatever rosy name you call it, smell to us like nothing but inflation. He has boosted prices. Commodities are dear, dollars are cheap. Wages still lag. i One housewife we know, who keeps good books on qbsts, told us that her grocery bill had risen just fifty flpr cenfcin the past six months. Your shoes, your over cjbats, your hats, your spinach—all these things cost more today than they did half a year ago. They will <|pst more six months from now. True, some wage classifications have risen, but con sidering them generally, and considering the farm in come in particular, they have not kept up with prices. Sf you can buy your shoes, overcoats, hats and spinach now, do it. Well, we won’t insist on the spinach. NEVER MORE NEWS THAN NOW ^ThereYiever was a time, even during a war, when there was more vital and interesting news, than is hajv tuning now’ under the recovery program. And this news directly affects every man, woman and child in America. } Farmers are vitally concerned about roads, commod ily prices, acreage reduction, crop loans, farm loans, cot i ton options, public works, etc., while those who dwell in j towns and cities arc watching the set-up of codes which regulate wages, hours of labor, fair competition in busi ness. All recovery moves are inter-related and the citi I zen who fails to keep up with swiftly moving events is not only “behind the times,” but does himself a great in j justice. Those who know about these swiftly moving affairs of our government are able to profit by this knowledge in more ways than one. It is the man who does not read and relies on the informed man to ac quaint him, that gets the wrong information or no in formation at all. Ridiculous and absurd rumors usual ly start among those who have received their informa S tion “second hand.” Important things are happening in Cleveland coun ty that are vital and touch the lives of every individual from the humblest child to the highest man, from the poorest human in an obscure cabin to the richest and j most powerful individual in mansion and exalted execu tive position. I’AVING ROAD TO PROSPERITY George Wray who is gifted at wise-crackin, made the remark the other night, following a discussion of paving projects here that he hoped, while the Govern ment is paving, that it will “pave the road to prosper ity.” That’s exactly what is being done. A little calcula tion leads us to believe that Cleveland county is to re ceive about $250,000 under this recovery movement. Some may think it extravagant to spend this much mon [ ey, some may say the labor scale is out of proportion with local labor and will spoil the situation, but with it all we must admit that Santa Claus is coming and we might as well hang up our stocking and receive what is coiping to us under the recovery program. Eight hundred and eighty men are to be put to work and made to earn rather than receive charity. This cre | ates a payroll larger than any two local textile plants as long as it lasts. Shelby will get $20,000 to $30,000 j ’ for roads and streets out of the highway fund. The Shelby-Polkville road paving contract calls for an ex penditure of $47,000, the Folkville-Fallston road $36,000, the Shelby-Boiling Springs road $30,000 or more, the Shelby-Grover road $18,000 with mote to come, then I three other road projects which call for some expendi ) tures for materials. As pointed out in our last issue, the depression re duced the income of American citizens from 80 to 40 billions annually. The recovery program means then that ten billions are being spent over a period of three years to get back that 40 billions lost. It must and will bo paved, surelv. COMMUNISM AND THE NEGRO The Charlotte Observer’s bright young man, T. D. Kemp, Jr., wrote sagely and succinctly last week about ■ communistic attempts to induce Negro laborers to unite with white labor in an effort to overthrow capitalism. , ^ai(l Mr. Kemp: “Race hatred is naturally more intense in the proletarian element of society. The capitalistic class and the cultured class, being in control of the machinery of civilization, feel the responsibility of pror viding a place for the Negro and'of improving his liv ing conditions. . . . But the proletariat have no use for the Negro at any time. They are unable to employ him. so they refuse to work with him.” Reducing Mr. Kemp’s sociology tof simpler terms, .he means that white laborers and Negro laborers can’t be placed on equal footing. Of course they can’t, not in (he South. Race prejudice, unfortunate thing that it is. is keenest in the classes in, or nearly in, industrial competition. As a result of the kind of communistic organization Mr. Kemp describes, a labor leader in Florida who attempted to organize Negro and white orange pickers in the same group was kidnaped and brutally beaten a month ago. The intelligent Negro, those who have had a chance to acquire some education, believe as firmly in drawing the color line as Southern whites. Men like Johnson and Robeson are proud of their race—and they have many reasons for being proud. The Negro has made excellent 'I progress in the past half centurv. I -_ A NEW CASH CROP County Farm Agent R. W. Shoffner not only keeps in close touch with current farm problems in Cleveland, but has a keen eye for the future. Realizing that next Spring might find many lazy acres in the county, he cast about for a crop for his farmers, and we believe, he has found it. It’s the rasberries. The Morganton paper, interested in Burke county, has this to say: “In order to make daily shipments worthwhile it is estimated that 400 acres (or a mini mum of 300) should be planted in Burke and adjoining counties. This county must undertake at least 100 acres. At a very early date a canvass of the county will be made to see just how many farmers are willing to go into this cooperative undertaking and will promise to plant and and care for planting of from one half an acre to two acres. “It is said so few raspberries are grown in propor tion to the demand that a ready market at an attractive price is practiclaly assured. “As we have pointed out before, here seems to be a golden crop we have long wished for in Burke county. The cost of planting an acre of raspberries is possibly about the same as for planting an acre of potatoes and when once planted the work does not have to be repeated each spring. If the plants are given even moderate culti vation they will bear indefinitely. Possibly an acre of raspberries will not exceed to any extent the cost and work required for an acre of cotton and the returns each year will be much greater—and a permanent invest t merit.'’ Start of Stratosphere Adventure mmm\ __ a \ '?F ' The start of a great adventure is here shown (left), as the balloon, j bearing Lt.

Mans well being depends on temperance the Divine command, "Be ye temperate in all things. ' in food, drink, speech and in all habits and interest in life. Tem perance is founded on moral and natural law that carries sure re wards and penalties. It's rewards are free to all, and its penalties cover all that violate. Prohibition is not included in the .Ten Com i mandments. That covers natural | sins. If intemperance can be abol ished by. legislature why not abol ish all sins against health, peace, prosperity and happiness of all the i people and force them to live relig | lously? The kingdom of Heaven must be within them—to support righteousness. When a mbral ques. tion appeals to politics it loses its mbral nalure.#Thcfe is no moral | code in politics. It Is a selfish fight from start to finish. To He ; cieve, lie and steal everything ill I sight, while those at the top set the high water marks. Wines, beers and ciders are heal thy if used temperately and should be free from taxation. Distilled hard liquors should not be used as a beverage, but only as a drug in medicine by drug stores and doc tors. Taxing liquors for revenue in creases intemperance and lawless ness. The more money put in li | quors the more crime it produces. The system is rotten from the bot tom to the top—making criminals of all who handle it. When v.x got state prohibition only one vote was cast against it at PolkviHe. Tliis time 22 temperate votes were cast for repeal. The largest ma jorities, include the most sinners and hypocites. I voted for Roosevelt with repeal. I,did not go to the el ection and stulify'myself by vot. ing with the fanatics against re peal. Webster says "a fanatic is one intemperately zealous or wildly ex travagant, especially on religious subjects. J: C. ELLIOTT. Polkville, N.’C, The peanut crop of Hertford county is reported to be very short with growers interested in borrow ing money on the crop as in the case of cotton.
