THE OTHER MAN Perhaps he may have slipped a bit— Well, so have you. Perhaps some things he ought to quit— Well, so should you. Perhaps he may have faltered—why Why all men do, and so have I; You must admit—unless you lie, That so have you. Perhaps if he would stop and think, Both 1 and you. When painting some one black as ink, As some folks do. Perhaps, if we would recollect, Perfection we would not expect, But just a man half-way correct, Like me and you. I'm just a man who’s fairly good, I'm just like you. I've done some things 1 never should Perhaps like you. But, thank the Lord, I’ve sense to see The rest of men with charity: They’re good enough if good as me Say, men like you. —Douglas Mallpch By bearing old wrongs you pro voke new ones.—Publius Syrus.

There are a bout 130,000,000 people in the Uni ted States. Dividing the number of people by the amount appropriated you will find that about $86.00 could be given to every man, woman and child in the United States. There are about 6.000 people in the P/estt Town in the State, Kings Mountain. Multiply this by the $36 and you will find that Kings Mountain should have received $316,000 in pro jects. , Where is our part? DO TRY TO FIND THE ARTICLE YOU WANT IN KINGS MOUNTAIN STORES? Some of the most persistent of fenders, in the line of purchasing goods out of town, is tlie class who, when asked why they do not buy all their needs of the home dealer, exclaim that they camit find what they want here. This paper is under the impression that if one were to look far cnought one could find a bout everything necessary to human existence or to clothe the human form, in one or the other of our ma ny stores, and at prices to corres pond with the value of the articles in this or any other market. There are some farmers who would consider it unfair if t hey were compelled to sell all their pro duce out ol’ town, yet they do not consider it wrong to send the larger share of the proceeds of their sales to our merchants to the cities for goods they should buy here. We fancy taxes would be burdensome for the agricultural classes were conditions ever to so change that a state should have but one big city where everything for the whole state must be purchased. And this is a condition somewhat exaggerated, that a large proportion of the peo ple are unconsciously trying to bring about. We contend tHat whoever makes a living here is in duty bound to spend their money here, when possi ble. The matter of saving a possible dollar or two occasionally is of mi nor importance compared to the upbuilding of our city. Suppose it does cost you a little, more every year to buy at home, I what would become of you if every soul should take to buying away from town. In two month’s time there would be grass growing in our streets. I HERE and THERE By Haywood E. Lynch Among the Kings Mountain men that were hugged and kissed in pub lic at the circus last Friday are: Ar thur Hay, Gene Matthews, Robert Hord, O. W. Myers (he got a gooO' on() Capt. O. C. O’Farrell, and H. Gj Ware. I don’t know why I was slight' ed, but no attempt was made to hug or kiss me. I received a letter this week from Jack Dempsey, former heavy weight boxing champion of the world, say ing that the following Kings Mourn tain people had a meal in his Restau rant: A. Lee Neisler, Anne L. Neis ler, J. A. Neisler and H. R. Neisler. The letter said that he welcomed them in person. Maybe the ex-world champ, gave them a few pointers on boxing. I never knew until Sunday before last that such a little fellow coultl mean so much. They were having Rally Day at the Presbyterian Sun day School. The officers had set their goal of attendance for this ser vice at 200 to break all previous at tendance. And who do you think put it over the top? Little bitty me. Yes sir, I was the 201st person to come in. I not only reached their goal for tjhiem I put it over the top. Anld if you will come to our church some time you will see my record attend ance on the wall 201. Well, folks, that one on the side of the 200 is* me. One word description of Rev. W. M.

This week I have an ad in the Herald announcing that Drugs, and Medicines aire being re duced. Lately everything has been going up, and it is real news When something goes down. I have always heard that names make news. Well, folks, we’ll sure ly have a newsy paper for the next two weeks. Both the city and coun ty Tax List is in the paper. Mr. J. M.

Biggerstaff of the Crescent 5. 10 and 25c Store has more fuir.i with his colored help of .anybody that I know. He is always playing a joke of some kind on his colored porter. Mr. Biggerstaff holds two degrees in medicine. He kept one of the skulls that he disected wher| he was in medical school. This week he wrapped the skull up and brought it down to the store in his car. He told his porter to get the package! out of his car and take it to the back of the store and unwrap if,, Of course the colored boy did not know what was in the package. Jokester Biggprstaff hid behind a counter and watched the boy open the package. You can imaginee for yourself just how scared, surprised, dumfounded the colored boy was when he found the contents of the pacage. I’ll let you ask Mr. Bigger, staff what the boy did.

Phone 365 CONTROL OF CREDIT1 A BASIC QUESTION Economist Describes Conflict Be tween Opposing Social View points on Government Bank. Agitation for government banking Is a phase of the conflict between our present “personal competitive enter prise system” in America and the "com puisory state collective security sys tem” of several European States. Virgil Jordan. President National Industrial Conference Board, says in an article in a recent issue of “Banking” pub lished by the American Bankers As sociation. “They involve irreconcilable prin ciples of human conduct and philoso phy of life and the conflict between them is the key to the economic, social and political struggles of today,” Mr. Jordan says. The enterprise system of which “the development of the United States has been the unparalleled example, de pends for its motive power of progress upon the inexhaustible reservoir of energy in individual desire for personal advancement in prosperity, but It guar antees nothing to the individual save freedom of opportunity,” the article says in part. The collectivist security system, he says, "places all emphasis upon the maintenance of a minimum standard of living for the mass without regard to the creative power of the individual. Quite simply the security system in volves the modern form of the phil osophy of the slave society.” He con tinues : A Sign of the Times “The many-sided movement toward governmental banking, deposit insur ance and currency management is the most direct and decisive expression of the universal instinctive search for se curity which is the sign of the times. In America our so-called social security legislation is an important indication of the drift away, from the enterprise system toward a collectivist security system with concentration of author ity in a central Federal government. “The nationalization of credit Is crucial and tndlspensihle for complete state control of the complex Industrial and business structure of this coun try. The drive toward government banking and monetary control is most determined because the relation of the state to credit goes to the root of the enterprise -system. A collective secur ity systAn Is inconceivable without nationalization of credit. An enterprise system Is Inconceivable with it.” Under a collective security system, based on government banking the con trols “lie solely in the hands of a few persons and depend upon their Judg ment, will or caprice,” Mr. Jordan sayB, adding that it is they who must de termine “upon the basis of some pre determined plan or upon pure political, expediency of the moment, what lines of industry and even what individual enterprises shall have access to the credit reservoir.” The state, he says, has the power of life and death over all enterprise that utilizes credit. “Every government is an organ of party power and must respond to the will of the party that put it in power,” the Jordan article says. "Under un checked government operation it is an inescapable tendency of every cur rency to depreciate and for credit to •xpand. However much it may be in the interest of the nation, deflation is too dangerous politically for any gov ernment to undertake it deliberately. "In the end government banking and currency management resolve them selves simply into the use of credit as a political instrument of power, and thi3 instrument teuds to be used in the long run tor expropriation of the savings of the community.” Chattel Mortgages 2-5c Herald Office Warranty Deeds 10c — Herald Office LET’S LOOK BACK From The Kings Mountain Herald 20 YEARS AGO OCT 21, 1915 Mrs. Helen Hay and Miss Ellen Long went to Gastonia Friday to at tend the fair.

Why is it that one farmer produces 100 pounds of pork on live bushels of corn, and another uses 25 bushels? Not until power machinery, scientific principles of soil fertilization and restoration, rotation of crops, diversification of crops and economical feeding are ap plied to the farm, will the farmers' problem be solved, says a farm au thority. BANKING READY NEW YORK. — There is abundant evidence that banks are in an unusual ly favorable position to finance a pe riod of industrial growth, says the June issue of "Banking" published by the American Bankers Association. An official survey on June 10 in dicated that the Government of the United States, through its loans, was the potential owner of more than half of the existing world stocks of Amerl can cotton.

SYNOPSIS Judge Calhoun Davis is presiding judge over the circuit court in the sleepy little toicn of Tidewater, Virginia. After a humorous day in court with his Negro prisoners, he prepares to go fishing. CHAPTER II Mrs. Calhoun wiped her hands on her apron as the telephone bell tinkled and nurried out of the kitchen into the living room. "Yes . . . ?” she answered the call. "Why, of course, Dan, I’ll have Jim bring the Ashing tackle right over. And Dan . . . tell the Judge to take along some pennyroyal. The mos quitoes bite even “What’s the matter, honey?" asked his mother. “Oh, nothing,” he answered, pick ing up his fork. “Jim, 1 wish you’d try to get up a little earlier. There’s a lot of little things you could do to help. And when you finish breakfast 1 want you to get the Judge’s fishing tackle and take it down to the courthouse.” At the mention of the Judge’s name, Jim's head snapped up alertly. Then his face hardened. “I’d rather not,” he said. "Let Rufus do it.’ “Well, let’s not talk about It any more. Doesn’t do any good." Jim rose and kissed his mother tenderly. “And say,” he hesitated as lie turned on an attractive boyish smile. “Lend me tour bits, will you?” With the money in his pocket Jim left the kitchen and hurried across to the home of Mary Lee. As he crossed the spacious back yard he noticed the open door or the garage. Inside stood an antique roadster which belonged to a man who roomed in the house. "Isn’t Mr. Higgins using his car today?” the boy asked a negress who was hanging W II U II l II C 1 1 o II don’t.” “J i m,” she called as she hung up the receiver. “Are you up yet.” The door opened and a boy ot about eighteen entered, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. "Morning, Moth er,” be smiled. “Am 1 too late (or some breakfast?” “It’s on the back of the stove. Sit down, Jim. I’ll get it for you." . As she started to prepare the food, Jim's atten tion was attracted by the sound of an automobile horn. He walked to the window and stared out a basket or clothes. "Nossuh,”' an swered the ser vant as she picked up the basket and started to enter the house. “He took de train early dis mawnin’ for Xawfolk. He won't be back till tonight” As Jim stood be fore the garage in deep thought, Mary Lee came around the corner of the house, a flower basket on her arm. “Good morning, Colonel,” she greeted him. “You’re Just in time to reach up and get me that lovely bloom on “Say, tell your Mother to,use paper plates so you can pet out early and meet me,” laughed Bob. across at the house next door. Jinrs face clouded with envy and his lips compressed. A shiny roadster was parked in front of the neighboring house and the well-dressed youth at the wheel was waving to a small, vivacious girl who came running across the shaded lawn. “Well, how about it, Mary Lee?” Jim heard the boy ask. “It’s lovely. Bob,” answered the girl rapturously. “Just rolled off the dealer’s floor. It’ll do seventy. Want to try it out tonight? Huh?” “Let me see,” laughed the girl. "Dinner tonight with the grand duchess. Then the' duchess and I play a game. She hideB the royal china in soapy water and I have to And it. . . ” "Say, tell your mother to use paper plates so you can get out early and meet me,” laughed Bob as he threw the car Into gear. “So long until then.” Ills face bitter, Jim turned from the wiudow and sat down looking w:,h disfavor at the smoking hot bu«aJ>Jast Jim, you make me unnappy with this attitude you take toward your father.” Martha placed her hand on her sou's shoulder. "He's not my father. He’s just my stepfather.” A look of pain came into Martha's face. Jim saw it, his anger died and his voice softened. "I'm sorry we don't get along, Mother . . . for your sake," he said. "1 thought 1 was doing the right thing when 1 married the Judge.” she answered, "lie always did love me.1' "Yes. hr ' '/ok.

You’re so (ond of flowers, let's take a trip up to the Ridge. There’s plenty up there.” “I'd love it, but it’s ten miles from here. I’m afraid there isn’t that much mileage in ‘dese heah po’ ole feets o' mine.’ ’’ "You don’t have to walk.

Jim jumped in too and started tbe motor with a great grinding and clanking of gears. "Mr. Higgins has been having trouble with this old car.” The girl was still doubtful. ”1 think he'll find that his motor is missing,” the boy grinned impu dently as they left the yard and I started nolstiv un the street.
