thing that was beautiful was evil to Jim
Carter.
When Anne was seventeen she gradu-
ated from high school with honor. To
celebrate her own graduation, Cherry
Harding gave lurge party, and Anne
wanted to 60 to that party more than
she had ever wanted anything In her
life. She mentioned II to Aunt Martha

head.

IL she would be there.
"I'd like to come. for you and tax

The Cause of Business De-
preston.

Governor George ]. Seay of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond
lis sending to member banks in pam
phlet form a copy of his letter of
October to the Manufacturers Re-
cord, in the course of which he said
"The facts expressed in these fig
ures are complete reputation of
those charges that there has been
credit curtailment' or domination
over either Federal Reserve Banks
or member banks which forced
banks to curtail credit
That amazing statement should
have been withdrawn by Governor
Seay before this. 1t is Incompetent
sible to intelligent men that he should
have issued it.
In circular-letter No. "a, issued on
December 20, 1919, to all member
banks, the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond said:
"Our present task, therefore is to
proceed with the defation of credits
as rapidly and as Systematically as
possible"
On April rs circular-letter No. 95
to member banks said:
"It is recognized function of the
Federal Reserve System to exercise
control over the volume of credit
and currency.
sIt is recognized to be unsafe to
go further with commodity prices at
such dangerous height.
eff all the, banks in this district
will earnestly and conscientiously en-
deavor to limit credits to necessary
activities for production purposes,
insist that the burden of carrying
loans on Government securities shall
be gradually assumed by subscribers,
etc" =,
The circular letter of June FL said
Immediately upon the passage OF
the amendment we ISSUED our cir
cular No. 95, in which we expressed
the belief that if all banks in this
district would earnestly and con-
scientiously endeavor to limit cred
its. =
"We have sent out information in
tended to enable all member banks,
and particularly those borrowing
rather heavily from US, to cooperate
with US intelligently for the conser-
walton of credit"
On August "a the circular-letter
said:
eve had been conducting cam
paign for the conservation of cred
it for more than year.
"If we can all pull together, how
ever, for while longer and continue
to exercise the greatest possible care
in the granting of further credits
etc."
fer to member banks said:
"It is in our opinion more 'impor-
tant than ever that great conserva-
tion should be used in granting OF
credits, etc."
We regret that space forbids using
these statements in full, but they
will all be found in our issue OF oc-
tober 21. :,

was foreseen from the beginning by
every intelligent man who cared to
study the situation. Every plant that
| is forced to close, even temporarily;
every laborer now looking for a job
because of shutdown; every de-
crease in wages; every dollar of the
$7,000,000,000 to $8,000,000,-
900 wiped out in the value of farm
products is testimony to the unwise
effort of the Federal Reserve Board
to break down prices. And all of this
because the Federal Reserve Board.
with narrow vision and financial in
, competence, struck at the credit sit
uation and wrecked the country's
prosperity.
In this connection it is not inap-
propriate to quote the statement
made on September 27 in Bulletin
No. 2, issued by the First Federal
Froeign Banking Association of New
York, which said:
"Under authority of the League of
Nations propaganda of information
al def1ation has been launched" -
Manufacturers Record.
The foregoing we think will fur
nish the readers of this paper with
the reason why cotton has fallen ten
or twelve cents per pound in price in
the last ninety days, why the goods
of our merchants are on the shelves,
why men "loaf" in their own stores
where they might otherwise be busy,
why the farmers, after performing
their labor, are denied the just COM
pensation which other laborers re-
ceived in the beginning of the year,
why people over this section of the
country are in reality in want, and
why the conditions whicho surround
us are harder to bear than the con-
ditions in 1907, 1914, or at any other
time.
No wonder the American people in
the recent election revolted, and
kicked out the powers which make
these conditions possible. If the re-
publicans when they come into pow
er next March cannot make condi-
tions better, they certainly will not
make them worse, unless all the lands
property and other possessions of the
people are bodily confscated. The
Federal Reserve Board actively back
ed by the treasury department at
Washington has gone as far in this
direction as it is humanity possible to
20. Let us hope that at least some
relief will come to the suffering peo-
pie of the South from the party
which it has so long despised, and
that some of the incompetence which
is cursing the country may be gotten
rid of. Let US hope that we shall get
reid of those agencies which first
rob us ,and then try to cover their i'll
deeds by denying that they commit
them.-Press and Banner.

OBITUARY

Sophia E. Lance, danghteraof C. p
and Mary Traxler Lance, was born
in Lafayette Tp., Medina, Co.. Sept
IL, 1S43, and died at the home Of hel
daughter, Mrs. o. E. Bowman, at Me
dina, o., March 20, 1920, aged 76 yrs
6 months and 8 days.
She was one of IL children, foul
brothers and seven sisters, all having
preceded her into the Great Beyond
except one brother, Albert Lance, oi
Layfayette and two sisters, Mrs. E. "A.
Vaughn Of Cleveland and Mrs. George
Stoddard, of Fenn's Corners.
All the members Of this large fam
lily lived to reach manhood and woman
hood.
On Feb. 23, 1866 she was united in
marriage, by Rev. Watson, who is still
living, to VIM. e. Carlton, soon after
his return from the Civil War. To
this union were born, one daughter,
Mrs. Pearl Bowman, Of Medina, Two
sons, Wilbur G. Carlton, of Chatham
and Clair w. Carlton, Of Chippewa
Lake, all of whom are living. These
together with seven grand children,
one having preceded her into the Spi-
rit world, and many other relatives
and friends are left to mourn the de-
parture Of loving mother, grand
mother and friend.
On Feb. 20, 1915 she, with her hus-
band, celebrated their 50th wedding
anniversary, Dec. 16, 1915 her hus-
band was called home, since which
time, she has repeatedly expressed
the desire to join him in The Glory
Land.
At an early age she united with the
Waltz U. B. church, to which she has
ever been a faithful and consistent
member. Mch. 22nd she was laid to
rest beside her husband in Union GEM
etery at North West.
Hers was the quiet, unpretentious
Christian life, whose influence is
felt, not only while present with us,
but remains after life has gone.
Her passing has left vacancy in
our hearts which none but mothers
love can ever fill, may her loving spi-
rit, in the absence Of her tender care,
watch over and guide, us who are left
behind until we too shall meet her in
the Sweet Bye and Bye.
A few days before she lapsed into
unconciousness, she spoke these beau
tiful words. II hear the choir singing,
and can it be? Yes it must be Him, the
Holy Spirit, My Christ"
Mother, you are gone to rest, we
would not weep for thee,
For, thou art now, where oft on
earth your spirit longed to be.
Mother, you are gone to rest, and
this shall be our prayer,
That, when we too shall cross the
bar, thy glory we may share.

Tires and Roads.

(From Raleigh News and Observer
North Carolina has something over
hundred thousand automobiles.
That means we are operating nearly
half million tires. These tires will
average with their tubes not less than
twenty dollars each. Which means
that we are running ten million dol
lars worth of tires on the roads.
Counting nothing but the tires we
are wearing out every day material
portion of that ten million dollars.
Let us say that a tire is good for a
years run. which il isn't. But IL We
assume that it is good for a year.
run We are pounding out on the roads
ten million dollars every year. On
bad roads tires will not last anything
like so long. On good concrete or
asphalt roads tire will last much
longer.
In assuming that tire wears out
in a year on the present roads, the
figure is probably too low. II would
be too high on good roads. II the
average road of North Carolina was
as good as the fairly good road OF
North Carolina. possibly we would
get twenty-five per cent more wear
out of tires. which would mean 4 saw
ing of a TWO and half pillion dol
lars. Now suppose thatTwe put two
and half million dollars INTO inn
proving the roads, instead OF that de-
struction of tires. That sum of money
would do a LOT of road work. In half
dozen years il would build ten or
fifteen thousand miles of road mucn
better than the fairly good road OF
the present, which would still further
save tires.
The saving on tires is only one Of
the economies effected by good
road. A rough road is ruinous to a
car. A Ford car suffers less on rough
