RURAL CREDITS.

The North Carolina Senators and the officials
Of the North Carolina Farmers Union are doing
well to give attention to rural credit legislation.
This is a matter of vital importance to the farm.
ing interests, and if a plan can be worked out by
which responsible farmers can get, on reasonable
terms, the capital needed for the development of
the almost illimitab1e resources of the soil, the
country will go forward on a scale of progress
that it has never attained before.
Such a law would be of particular benefit to
the South and the South more than any other
section could apply the system to the best add
vantage. For this section of the county is prop
erly regarded as possessing greater agricultural
possibilities than any other. Recently George
NJ. Rom1nel, chief OF the Animal Husbandry Di-
vision of the Department of Agriculture, declared
that no Northern farmer, or any other farmer
could produce beet as cheaply as it could be pro
duced in the South, and that involves the raising
of grain 10 feed the cattle as we'll as the raising
Of cattle. And there are the same ADVANTAGES for
raising hogs that there are for raising cattle.
With more liberal credits the Southern farmer
could address himself to his task with an entb,.
siasm that he has rot known before. Heretofore
almost any kind OF an enterprise has had a better
chance OF successful and adequately financed
promotion than d farming enterprise. Under a
liberal rural credit system such as the Democratic
administration will surely work out, this state Of
affairs will be changed and the most importan,
Southern industry Of all will receive a recognition
commensurate with its potentialities in connec.
ton with the feeding and clothing of the nation

ID RATHER write one line. be jabbers, to
stimulate the man who labors at dreary tasks
and hard, than have my brow with bays encum-
bered. and hear folks say that I'd be numbered
as an immortal bard. I'd rather chirp one little
sonnet to cheer the dame with last years bonnet,
the seamstress, in her room, to help the
POETS. tired and heavy laden, to bring a smile
to some sad maiden who bends above
her loom, than write an ode on which the scholars
would up and bet their bottom dollars that it
would never die; than sing a song so great and
stirring that it would set the critics purring, and
make my rivals cry. The mighty bards! Their
stately measure was always writ for folks of leis-
ure who had all kinds of time to read new PONIES,
on divans leaning, and try to figure out the mean-
ing Of that dodgasted rhyme. And so / sit here
by the willers and sing the toilers and the tllers,
the hewers Of the wood; and l. if I cheer one soul
that's saddened, this fat old heart of mine is
gladdened, and life seems sweet and good.

There is a way to get good roads by every
mans farm house, and if we read between the
lines correctly the people of Lincoln county are
not going TO rest now until there are good roads
leading to all parts of the county," says the Lin
coin County News. You can generally depend on
a newspaper to argue for good roads. The edi-
tors usually have a way of seeming out what
will add to the prosperity of a county and they
rightly calculate that what is for the general
good will help the editor some too. Good roads
give a mighty boost 10 material prosperity.
