Senator Fuller discussed at length a
few days ago with reporter the lack
of adequately high rates of assessment
of farm lands in this state and in q
measure heis correct. But where farm
lands lack. may be, 25 per cent of be-
ing high enough assessed, personal
property of city and town residents
that escape all taxation amounts to
millions. and inadequate assessment Of
the property of the big corporations
mounts up into hundreds of millions.
Inadequate taxation is a curse to the
state and no observing man can dis
pute it, but the least of all offenders
is the farm land owner. and the least
of these is the owner of the small farm
he lives on and tends. Senator Fuller
has scented the right trail, alright, but
he is taking the wrong end of it.

For years this country has been in
the midst of campaigns, one campaign
after another in quick succession
They began with the corn club cam

Superintendent d. K, Donnel, and rs

been of more vital or more lastin
good than was that. Then came tn
pig club and poultry club and canniu
club campaigns, the more food can
paign, the increased wheat campsigb.

coming on as the other was ov r. Anu
We must for our own good enter upon
another csnpa gu bow, repetition
some of the others, for We mus, agalr
fight the corn. pig, poultry, canning
club campaigns, the more food campaigr
and betterdversified farming campaign
Seeding time is fast approaching, c}t
ton 3 high and the teudeuc is to plan
every available acre 20 cotton. Tn
Agricultural department ~ Washing ua
urges southern fatmers TO raise al the
corn, hay, pas lures, meat, lard. mo.
lases, wheat, e.e,, every thing needed
to eat for man and least, and then al
the cotton possible, and the advice is
sound and reasonable The food and
feeds we have, and then the cotton
continues and must always continue We
the soulh's most valuable money crop.
Terrible disappointments have come to
many a southerner who quit cotton en-
tirely to engage in other lines of farm
ing. Our people know cotton best, its
culture and its marketing, and it is not
desirable for southern people to quit
growing it, but it is no more desirable
for them to grow fifteen or sixteen
million bale crop, for such large crops
have never once brought the growers
as much money as smaller crops have
done. The present seasons crop of
eleven million bales will be the most
grown by the south since re
times, and we must not Be
Iured into growing another bumper crop.
Remember Bradford Knapp's appeal for
all the feeds and foods we need first
and then all the cotton we can grow.

The Falcon has urged for decade
that the land of the small land owner
which land was occupied by the owner
is the most prosperous and contented
country on earth. Last Sundays issue
Of the Commercial Appeal carried as its
leading editorial half page from the
pen Of Mr.. Mooney on this same sub
ject. The present year is the best in
score of years, if not since the civil
war. for men in this section to buy land.
Lands are high, tbs true. but crops are
high. every one of them, and the money
to pay for land will come easy. A block
of land in stones throw of Somervile
was bought last spring at sl25 per acre,
fortified, well cultivated and planted
in cotton. and six acres produced six
bales, with the seed and cotton at pres
ent prices, the crop will bring more
than $1,000. and will pay for the land,
the labor and the fertilizer in one crop.
The Falcon wants TO see Fsyette county
land of farm owners, because such a
land is well-to-do country. with far
mers in easy circumstances and living
well, and in such a land the business
and professional men are prosperous
and easy for they get what they work

After an existence of seven years
the Whiteville News succumbed last
week to the hard straits of the country
newspaper career and ceased publica.
tion. Charles A. Robinson left The
Falcon seven years ago with an idea Of
making big money running The News.
He has had his ups and downs,
mostly downs as every small town
operator has, and FINALLY was forced
to give over to the increased costs and
decreased patronage because of hard
times and lose the game. Whiteville
has made mistake In not giving fair
support to her weekly paper. and now
that the News is no more, her people
must realize that in not giving 1t their
business the, have erred grievously.
Mighty few towns are better than its
newspaper. many are worse than their
paper, but all in all, the newspaper of

The County School Board of thi'
county. as of every other county, II
confronted with the plea of teacher
that increased cost Of living has made
an increase in salaries paid them i'm
perative. A number of the beat teach
ers in our schools have gone into othel
lines of work where remuneration II
better, others have gone into Other
counties and other states where sala'
ries paid teachers are better, and we
can't blame them for taking these self
protective steps (provided they take
them before accepting positions in the
county,. Salaries in nearly all other
lines of work have been increased to
meet the increased cost of living. The
teachers have labored On in the same
way and in most cases for the same
pay as before. They certainly deserve
an increase In their salaries proportion
ate with increases in the salary OF
others. But the Board is confronted
vita a limit set for its income, and
the policy of the present school author
tiles as of those for years past, is OPP
posed to gong in debt. To increase
salaries there are but two ways in
which the money could cnme for the
immediate use: warrants could be is
sued on the County Trustee by the
school authorities with the knowledge
that there wao no funds in his hands to
pay them, with the result that teachers
would have to hold their warrants or
discount them: the other Is to increase
the'sdditionsl money. The last named
rests with the county court and people
who want such action taken can scquaint
their Justices of the Peace before July,
The present authorities of the schools
do not favor running their expenses
ahead of the school income, and this
policy seems wise in all governmental
lines. The county teachers should re-
ceive higher salaries in many instances
than they now receive. and where is
he money for the increase to come

Dear Sir:--During the Mexican
trouble, certain officer, while MAX
ing strenuous efforts, did remarkably
well to secure one or two volunteer
recruits each night, having as q
speaker on two OF these occasions q
colored veteran who, during his re-
marks, asked that recruiting station
be opened up for the colored, and we
would show some real business in

stood that at banquet not long ago,
given at certain place not q mile
from the Soldiers Monument, that
was erected in the memory of the
fallen heroes Of the Civil War, for the
black as well as the white, made a
statement in his speech that the
white soldiers in France fought we'll, =
that the Negro soldiers were made
TO fight" thus carrying the assum-
tion that the down-trodden Negro sol
diers fought under compelling power
from behind This officer had no
sooner made this astounding and be-
littling remark, than guest promptly
asked this officer where he had been
stationed in France. In replying he
stated that he was an officer in a
certain department. He was also
asked, "How did he know so much
about the fighting when he was not
on the firing line or near the trench

With this we are the most loyal
race that lives on top Of Gods green
earth, in the face Of disfranchisement
