Generally Speaking
The Poor South!

Now that the commissions are subsiding we
might ask attention to John Temples bale 1t
placed in the lobby of the McAlptn and
artistically placarded:. Buy a Ra1e and Help
the South" A Charlotte merchant who knows
something about cotton pulled out sample
and found It stains" 1t was a 1928 bale
and had been bought from broker at seven
cents. A little calculation will show how much
benefit the Southern farmer got out OF that
bale. And there was philanthropic old
lady with a fat purse and soft heart for the
poor farmer who got Wanamaker to buy n
bale for her. That bale was also bought from
broker In New York around seven cents. The
broker got the money and Johnnie, he got
the advertising. New York full of in
stances of the kind and while the spirit which
prompted it is to he admired. yet that spirit
was born of the sentimental and mistaken
idea of the South's beggarly condition. 1t was
too much like passing out aims to pitt
full object OF charitywhich the South never
has been and never will be-and it this
sort of stuff against which the pride of OR
people was moved to revolt 1t has been a

Tuesdays Election.

Tuesday the voters OF the Tenth District will
be called upon to elect Congressman to sue
coed Hon. Fl. D. Flood, Of Appomattox. The
Republicans early in October nominated Hon.
George A. Rivercomb, Of Alleghany, and the
Socialists nominated Mr. Nathan Perkins. Of
Augusta County. Mr.. Flood has been renomi-
mated by the Democrats to succeed himself.
and 1t Is the duty OF all Democrats to vote
for him. He-has been in the race with Mr..
Rivercomb before. and If we remember cor
rectly the waters were not even stirred. 1t
IS important for the party that the full vote
be polled and 1t is to be hoped that all Demo-
Gratis will come out Tuesday and vote. We
have no doubt of Mr.. Floods election. He
comes from a district in which the President
was born, and Mr.. Flood Is chairman of the
important FOREIGN Affairs Committee, and his
return to Congress by increased majority
will be pleasing to Mr.. Wilson. Appomattox
and Buckingham will certainly do their full
duty. Come out ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Times
